The ghost-catching princess, she always pretends to be weak

Chapter 78 Chen Family’s Old Events
  "That's right. Tiger poison doesn't eat its seeds, but your father is quite cruel."

"What's so cruel? That's heartless!"

Wen Jiu's words seemed to step on Chen Miao's tail.

"My brother was smart and well-behaved when he was young, and he was well-known throughout the town. Neighbors often said that children like my brother would not be found even with a lantern, but my father didn't care and only cared about his own happiness."

Wen Jiu changed his mind and asked, "Then why did he die?"

Chen Miao frowned and recalled, "It seems that I was drunk that day, rolled off the bed and hit my head, and never woke up again."

Wen Jiu stared at Chen Miao's expression, trying to determine whether she was lying.

But she looked confused, as if she really didn't know the cause of her father's death.

"Didn't you ask the doctor to come and take a look?" Wen Jiu was a little confused. If a normal person fell, he would call the doctor immediately. If a doctor came to check, it is impossible that the wound on Father Chen's neck would not have been discovered.
  "I found her. At that time, my uncle was a barefoot doctor from the next village. He came over to take a look and said that it was not possible anymore."

"Your uncle?"

"Yes, my mother's brother is very close to my mother. After high school, my brother never forgot his uncle's family and often sent them things."

Wen Jiu suddenly realized that this makes sense.
  He fell to the ground due to drunkenness and hit the back of his head on the ground, so there was a pool of blood on the back of his head before death.

If the hairpin is pierced into the neck again, it will be difficult to survive.
  However, I didn't expect that he would be trapped in this hairpin.
  Since I didn't receive a ghost hunting order, I could naturally pretend not to see the weirdness of this hairpin.

But it was a murder case after all, should I take it seriously or not?
  If you talk about it
  The Chen family is afraid that things will change.
  "Miss Wen, although my uncle is close to our family, it seems that they brought sister Xichu here this time to arrange a marriage for my brother."

Wen Jiu's heart suddenly became confused, "Have you decided to get married?"

Doesn’t Chen Shu like the person who gave him the jade pendant? Why do you want to make a marriage arrangement with your cousin again?

"That's right. Now that my brother is promising, sister Xichu has liked him since she was a child. It would be great if she could marry him."

"Yes"

Childhood sweethearts, a perfect match.

Wen Jiu's face looked a little ugly.

"But there were many people discussing marriage with my brother. My mother seemed to be interested, but in the end she still wanted to make a marriage arrangement between my brother and sister Xichu. She was nagging in my brother's room every day."

Her uncle helped cover up the fact that her father was dead.

No matter what the reason is, whether it's a threat or a favor, Chen's mother should really let them get married.

"That's also great. We grew up together since childhood. We are childhood sweethearts. It's a good story."

"Miss Wen, you don't know this. My brother doesn't like Sister Xichu, but he has someone he likes."

Chen Miao lowered his head slightly and hesitated, not knowing whether he should speak or not.

But Wen Jiu hoped she wouldn't say it because he didn't want to hear it.

"That day in my brother's room, I heard my mother telling him that he couldn't get along with the person he liked, and he would leave something to be said."

"My mother's words are hurtful. I saw that my brother didn't say a word for a long time."

A trace of surprise flashed in Wen Jiu's eyes, "It turns out that the jade pendant has a pretty good background."

Zisu on the side suddenly raised his head, seeming to remember something.

"Jiu'er, why did you arrive so early?" Zhao Yan suddenly appeared at the door, interrupting the conversation between the two.

"Ayan, you're here." Wen Jiu was a little thankful that Zhao Yan showed up.

If she waited until Chen Miao told her who that girl was, she would probably get red-eyed when she saw this person in the future.

"This girl looks unfamiliar. I wonder whose family she is from?"

Zhao Yan had long forgotten that she was Chen Shu's sister who was humiliated by Liu Yue in the garden.

Wen Jiu introduced seriously: "This is Mr. Chen Shu's sister Chen Miao. She just entered Beijing last year."

I thought this introduction was over, but I saw Zhang Jin and Liu Yue coming in from the door.

"Miss Chen was appointed by the Holy One to study with us. The Holy One praised Mr. Chen, and everyone in the capital knows it." Wen Jiu raised his voice deliberately and spoke so clearly that Liu Yue must have figured it out.

There is no need to bully others.

Unexpectedly, Liu Yue was extremely restrained today, and just glanced at Chen Miao lightly, with some inexplicable emotion in his eyes.

Before Wen Jiu could see clearly, she walked straight to her seat.

Wen Jiu narrowed his eyes slightly, unable to see what was wrong with Liu Yue.

"What's happening here?"

Wen Jiu turned his head and asked Zhao Yan in a low voice.

"I told you last time that you forgot. Liu Yue's family went to Mr. Chen to discuss marriage two years ago, but they were rejected. They were rejected on the spot."

Wen Jiu took a breath. He drank too much that day, and he had been so sad recently that he actually forgot about this incident.

"I see."

She slowly turned around, feeling a little sad in her heart.

Liu Yue was rejected, and so was he.

No one is better than anyone else.

It's just Chen Miao's hairpin and Chen's father's death. Should he tell it or not?

Today was just the first day, and the two gentlemen did not delay the class and quickly ended their morning class.

I thought that everyone would gather together to reminisce about old times, but because a few people were not in a good mood, they quickly dispersed.

"Jiu'er doesn't look good, but is he feeling uncomfortable again?"

I haven't seen the Sixth Princess for more than a month, and she seems to have lost a lot of weight.

"I'm fine, but princess, why have you lost so much weight?"

The sixth princess's eyes turned red and tears filled her eyes. She smiled bitterly and said, "Father wants to make a marriage arrangement for me."

Wen Jiu was a little surprised, but he didn't show it.

Even she has already made an engagement. Si Huai'an is a princess and she is two years older than herself, so it is only a matter of time before she makes an engagement.

"This is a good thing, princess." She comforted with a smile: "When the princess opens her own mansion, you no longer have to stand on the city wall and look at the prosperity of the capital. You can experience it yourself."

Si Huai'an looked at Wen Jiu with even sadder eyes: "But Jiu'er, my father wants me to get married."

"What?" The smile on Wen Jiu's face instantly disappeared, "Marriage?"

"Yes, one of the fifth sister and I must get married."

Si Huaian had never been so sad and helpless.

"I was raised in the name of the queen, and I seem to be the legitimate princess who is praised by all the stars. However, my biological mother died young, and no one helped me fight for my marriage. What should I do, Jiu'er?"

"A marriage. Instead of fighting the battle that a man should fight, he wants to use a woman to make a marriage. It is really shameless."

Wen Jiu was furious at this time, and he didn't care who he was scolding.

"There are many people here, so please be careful what you say, Miss Wen."

Chen Shu didn't know how long he had been standing behind him.

Wen Jiu was unhappy, and when he saw Chen Shu, his sadness turned into anger.

"Be careful what you say? Mr. Chen, why don't you tell me which sentence and word I said wrong, and where I need to be careful!"
