Chapter 46
Baili Changge knelt down and comforted Wen, "Third Madam, the deceased is dead. I know you are very sad, but for Shaoqing to go on the road with peace of mind, let the people in the Yamen find out the murderer first!"

"Miss, you won't understand." Wen lowered his eyelashes, his red and swollen eyes dimmed for a moment, and said sadly: "Shaoqing is the reason for me to live in this family, and even in this world. I’ll just leave now, and I don’t know how much courage I can muster to live on in the future.” After speaking, tears fell down.

After she said it, Baili Changge choked up a little, and didn't know how to comfort him for a while, so he gently helped Wen Shi up, and went to the front hall together with the maidservant of Qiufengyuan.

After Baili Changge left, only Ye Hen and the people from Dali Temple were left in Qiufengyuan. The coroner Liu Huang finished the autopsy and asked the coroner to record it, so he got up and walked over, "My lord."

"How?" Ye Hen glanced at Baili Shaoqing's body and asked.

Liu Huang said: "The deceased's eyes were protruding, his ears were swollen, his lips were cracked, black and purple blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth, his complexion was bruised and purple, and his ten fingers were black. He must have died of poisoning. The time of death was probably between Xu hour and Hai hour last night."

"So...was it caused by poisoning?" Ye Hen looked at Baili Shaoqing's body and muttered, not waiting for Wu Zuo to speak, he turned around and told Feng Nong behind him: "Let the people of Dali Temple guard the courtyard, Don't let anyone in." After saying that, he walked towards the front hall.

The violets in the courtyard were blooming pink and white, and in the sunlight, they presented a beautiful and dreamy ethereal state, but they couldn't conceal the solemn atmosphere of the whole Hou Mansion.

Bai Lijing, who got the news early in the morning, had a gloomy expression and sat upright. The fourth son of the dignified Marquis Mansion, who was still a fool, was murdered and died in his own home. If it spread, it would become a joke in Beijing.

Baili Changge supported Wen Shi to sit aside. Wen Shi was extremely sad, crying all the way, and his shoulders were trembling slightly.

The hall was extremely quiet, only her occasional sobbing could be heard, Baili Changge stretched out his hand, pressed her shoulder, and glanced around by the way.

Bai Lixun sat across from them.

In her memory, the second master who always had no seat when he attended the big meeting in the mansion sat well today, but his expression was a little dazed, and he kept his head down, not knowing what he was thinking.

Next to Bai Lixun, sat the second wife You Shi and Bai Lishan.

Brishan was still wearing a veil like yesterday, but it still couldn't cover her thick makeup and the pimples under the makeup.

The maids and women all knelt outside the door, and the only one standing by the door was Fu Qingyun. He was against the light, showing a bit of sadness in his elegant posture. It looks dull and depressing.

Baili Changge could see that deep in his heart he was struggling and suffering because of Shaoqing's death.

Perhaps in the ten years since she left, Shaoqing was his only close friend, who used writing and reading to confide in his loneliness.

But now, Shaoqing's departure is undoubtedly a heavy blow to him, just like a doll that has been with him for many years suddenly disappears one day.

Ye Hen walked leisurely, slowly coming along the corridor, with a hint of melancholy on his handsome and elegant face like spring flowers and the moon.

After entering the hall, Bailijing immediately stood up to pay his respects. After some politeness, he finally turned to the main topic.

"My lord, have you found out who killed Shaoqing?" Bai Lijing looked worried.

"The murderer doesn't know yet, but the test found that the Fourth Young Master died of poisoning." Ye Hen said unhurriedly: "This matter is of great importance. I will try my best to find out the truth and let the Fourth Young Master go to the ground for peace." Apologetically, he said: "From now on, everyone in this mansion, including you, Lord Hou, is suspected of poisoning the Fourth Young Master. Please cooperate with Dali Temple Qing Yuan Guanghao to make a confession later."
