The Delicate Lady Coroner

After leaving Shi Cheng Yunzhi, he still had no smile. After returning, his face was full of comfort and calmness. He talked with Lin Huai gently, and the grudge disappeared. No matter how slow Huo Weilou was, he also saw that the two had reached a certain consensus. With his hand on the arm of the chair, his knuckles rubbed his black jade fingers, his expression was dim and dim, and his eyes swept across Bo Ruoyou from time to time.

Bo Ruoyou sat in the last position with a beautiful back and gentle eyebrows, but only Huo Weilou could see that the hands she held in front of him were extremely tight, and he did not relax for a while, his eyes darkened again.

Lin Huai ordered Chu Shuning to prepare a banquet in order to entertain Cheng Yunzhi and Bo Ruoyou. Huo Weilou stood up from the main seat at this moment. , There will be movements in the DPRK in the past two days."

Lin Huai got up to answer, and said: "What else is Hou Ye? It's not early now, why not leave a meal? Saying that Hou Ye and their father and daughter have a lot of fate, if it weren't for Hou Ye to appreciate Youyou, we I won’t see it as early as in Los Angeles."

Cheng Yunzhi also said: "Master Hou still has a life-saving grace to Youyou——"

Huo Weilou bends his lips, "It's just a matter of raising your hand. I won't keep it today. Your old friends, my lord is here, and you also have restrictions."

Since he wanted to leave, it was hard for anyone to stay. Lin Huai took Lin Zhao to send it off, but Bo Ruoyou had no reason to follow. And Huo Weilou didn't even look at her when he left, which made her heart sink. Bottom of the valley.

Cheng Yunzhi sighed: "I didn't expect Master Hou to be here, so he did have a relationship with him."

As soon as he turned his eyes, Cheng Yunzhi saw that Bo Ruoyou's face was slightly sad, and the smoke under his eyes seemed to be annoying.

"Youyou, did you expect to come to Lin Mansion?" Cheng Yunzhi asked gently.

Bo Ruoyou came back to her senses, thinking of what Huo Weilou had said about the marriage, she wanted to ask immediately, but at the moment there is much inconvenience in the Lin Mansion, she only said: "I did not expect that the foster father Shicai told Uncle Lin. what?"

Cheng Yun laughed: "It's nothing, some old things, some misunderstandings, I have already made it clear now, your Uncle Lin is not an unreasonable person, today I brought you to the mansion to see you, and they will take care of you in the future."

Bo Ruoyou stopped talking, but Lin Huai and Lin Zhao came back soon, so she had to swallow what she was about to say.

Next, the old friend recounted the past and talked very happily. Bo Ruo sat at the last position with her eyes closed. She only answered when she asked her. Cheng Yunzhi saw something wrong with her, but Lin Huai didn't notice anything. When she was originally a gentle and quiet temperament, when it was time to eat, Chu Shuning was also quite enthusiastic about Bo Ruoyou, and she just showed a little more smile.

Lin Zhao's eyes fell on Bo Ruoyou for half a day, but he couldn't do anything in front of the elders. After the meal was over, Cheng Yunzhi saw that Bo Ruoyou was too quiet, so he quickly said goodbye.

Lin Zhao said that he wanted to send them home, and he really wanted to send it. Cheng Yunzhi couldn’t escape, and he was happy to see that, so he agreed. Bo Ruoyou couldn’t, and he was quiet on the carriage again. When he arrived at Cheng’s house, Lin Zhao didn’t enter. Mansion, when he left, Bo Ruoyou only showed two solemn expressions.

"Foster father, I went to Lin Mansion today, but for my daughter? As you mentioned before, there have been arrangements for your daughter's marriage. You can say that it is Master Lin?" Bo Ruoyou offered tea to Cheng Yunzhi and asked straightforwardly.

Cheng Yun was stunned, never expecting that Bo Ruoyou knew, "Youyou, how did you guess it?"

Bo Ruoyou shook his head and didn't go into details. He just asked, "Does the foster father ask Uncle Lin to dissolve the marriage contract between Young Master Lin and my cousin, and then make a marriage with me?"

Cheng Yunzhi put down the tea cup and said, "Youyou, that's your relationship. If it's someone else, I can't just sit back and ignore it. I won't talk about things back then. Even your relationship will be snatched. How do they deserve to be your elders?"

At this point, Cheng Yunzhi's tone was a little bit painful, "I didn't want to tell you so early that this marriage was originally yours, but now I can’t make a clear connection with the Bo family’s house. It’s really annoying, but you already know it. , It’s okay to tell you, this was fifteen years ago, when you were only two years old, your father, mother and Lin Huai’s husband and wife stopped. Even though they didn’t write a serious marriage certificate at the time, we all knew that we had good friends. This baby boy."

"This is the wish of your father and mother. Whether it is for them or for you, I have to get it back for you. You and I have been away from Beijing for many years. Lin Zhaoruo changed other people's marriage, so I don't want to fight, but the Bo family They are the one who knows this marriage best. Over the years, they have not asked you about it, but now they have no explanation, and they have replaced you so plainly and vainly."

"Do you know how the rumors were spread when I asked Zhou Liang to investigate? They said that this marriage was set when your cousin was born, that the Bo family and Lin Zhao’s childhood sweethearts were a match made in heaven, and they said that the Lin family’s grandfather How liking Miss Bo family back then is so ridiculous. It is clear that you have taken your things, but you still have to compose these words. They really think that your parents are dead, whether you are a little girl who lived or died. Whether it's good or bad, you can't fight, they are so brazen, how can I bear it?"

Cheng Yunzhi sighed again, "Foster father is in his twilight years, and now he is back to Beijing, and there are not many old people who can speak for you. No one in the Bo family is the master of you. The foster father really doesn’t know the righteous father’s old man, he has passed away. Who do you rely on? I have explored Lin Zhao’s reputation, and I know that he is a leader among the younger generations of aristocratic family, and Lin’s family style is pure and upright, and they will look at the face of your parents when you marry. Treat you kindly, this is the only thing the foster father can do for you."

Bo Ruoyou’s eyes were reddish, and he couldn’t help but squat down to beat Cheng Yunzhi’s leg. Cheng Yunzhi had leg problems and was in poor health. She couldn’t hear what he said about his passing. The daughter is good, the daughter understands that the adoptive father must be a hundred years old. No matter who the daughter will marry in the future, the adoptive father must look at his daughter."

Cheng Yunzhi brushed his hair. "But the foster father sees that you don't like this marriage. You are not very interested in the Lin Mansion, and you are silent on the way back. Now you ask me like this, you are not happy, but right?"

Bo Ruoyou bends his lips, "The Lin family is indeed a good relative. If a daughter can marry into the Lin family, most of it can be regarded as a comfortable life among ordinary women, but it is the foster father, Young Master Lin and my cousin. They have been married for many years, and their friendship for more than ten years is not comparable to me. Now that he has rashly changed his marriage contract, my cousin will not say anything. Young Master Lin would be happy? If he is not happy, wouldn't it be difficult for me to marry in the past?"

Cheng Yunzhi frowned, Bo Ruoyou and softly said: "Although the marriage of children is the word of the matchmaker of the parents, but the daughter listened to Aunt Liang said that whether it was my father and mother, or foster father and mother, it was the first After the friendship, the three-match six-employees were married. The daughter had never thought about marriage before, but now the daughter is thinking that no matter who you marry, there must be at least some friendship, trustworthy, and righteousness. How does the father feel?"

Cheng Yunzhi’s heart felt sorrow and sorrow, "Naturally this is the best. After all, the foster father wants to find someone worthy of your trust in his life. You and Lin Zhao are also old acquaintances. Today, I think Lin Zhao treats you quite well. Judging from his temperament, he is also a young and promising person. The adoptive father thinks that this is the best candidate. If your parents are there, relying on your father’s talent to learn, now the position is not under Lin Huai, I am not yet Even so worried, but you have no support, the foster father can only find the safest person for you."

Bo Ruoyou squatted beside Cheng Yunzhi. Hearing the words, his nose was sore. After thinking about it, he still said, "Master Lin is indeed very good, but his daughter has no intention of admiring him. It is uncertain whether the Bo family’s marriage, but also a girl from another family. Young Master Lin doesn’t know what happened back then, and he has no objection to dating the Bo family’s big house for so many years. I want to come to him to be satisfied with this family’s marriage. The house is not upset, but it's just because they are not upright and honest. Today the foster father explained what happened back then. Uncle Lin should know that the Bo family’s big house used some scheming back then, and the daughter thinks this is enough."

Cheng Yunzhi frowned, "But your Uncle Lin has promised to make it clear with Dafang to return this marriage."

Bo Ruoyou had already expected it, and said happily at this time: "Uncle Lin hasn't asked Young Master Lin, but now it's just because of guilt. This is the first point, and the second point is that my daughter now has no thoughts about Young Master Lin. If you ask your daughter to enter into a marriage contract with him, it will really embarrass your daughter, which she doesn't want to do."

Cheng Yunzhi questioned, "There is no friendship right now, but how about getting along for more time?"

Bo Ruoyou shook her head, not knowing what she thought of, with some enthusiasm on her cheeks, she whispered: "Young Master Lin is good, but she is not the one she loves."

When Cheng Yunyi heard this, his eyes immediately became alert and doubtful, "Do you already have someone you like in your heart now?"

Bo Ruoyou looked tight and hesitated. Cheng Yun sat down and straightened up, "You...you can count the number of men who communicate with you with one hand. The person you like is...Wu Zhaohou?!"

Cheng Yunzhi guessed it instantly.

And Bo Ruoyou’s reaction did not disappoint him. Her face quickly stained with haze, and she was never a generous person. At this time, her eyes panicked and there was a sense of shyness. Cheng Yunzhi's expression became serious, "You were I felt that the Hou Mansion was not properly recuperating. At that time, I was a little jealous. I was afraid that Wu Zhaohou was thinking about you, so I was anxious to inquire about the Lin family, but you..."

"What did Wu Zhaohou say to you and what did you do?"

Bo Ruoyou shook his head, "No, no, the foster father is not anxious--"

Bo Ruoyou had blushing cheeks and did not dare to meet Shang Cheng Yunzhi’s eyes, but this matter is not trivial. If you don’t make it clear earlier, Cheng Yunzhi will be anxious. She settled down and forced herself to look at him, "Foster father, Hou The master did confess that he treats his daughter differently, but this is not important. When it comes to who the daughter likes, the daughter really admires the Lord Hou. Others make a kiss?"

Cheng Yun's body shook, "If you have said this, it is true--"

Bo Ruoyou is embarrassed, but still looks firm, "You know, your daughter has never said anything to you. If you don’t speak, she will not lie to you. You are kind to your daughter. The daughter understands, and the daughter also knows your considerations, so the daughter dare not conceal her adoptive father. She only hopes that the adoptive father understands her daughter’s mind and does not need to fight for her. The daughter sees that you have boarded the gate of the Lin Mansion exclusively for your daughter. It's also quite uncomfortable."

"In Lin Mansion today, Uncle Lin has been talking about fate, but her daughter has been away from Beijing for many years, and her marriage has changed. This is mostly because her daughter and the Lin family are very close to each other. But Lord Hou saved her daughter several times. Lord is more destined."

The thoughts of her daughter’s family were hard to say, and it was the first time Cheng Yunzhi heard Bo Ruoyou’s calm words. He was surprised at first, and somewhat happily watching her daughter grow up. It was thought that the Lin family’s marriage was the safest, and Huo Weilou With a high position, if you really like Huo Weilou, you have to embark on the road of inexplicability, and your heart will be caught again for a while.

"Of course, the adoptive father will not force you, but the advantages and disadvantages of the adoptive father must be informed to you, lest you will not change in the future, and it will be too late to regret. Wu Zhaohou treats you... it is indeed regarded as treating you differently, but he is in a high position. It's a young and old man, a formidable member of the city mansion, not to mention you, even Lin Huai is not his opponent, if he lied to you..."

Bo Ruoyou shook his head, "Foster father, it is not necessary for your daughter to marry Master Hou now. The daughter you think also understands that this matter has to be discussed in the long term. It is just the marriage of the Lin family. Uncle Lin is embarrassed. This is what the daughter wants to tell you. What do you think?"

Cheng Yunzhi had left the Lin family behind, and there was only one thought in his heart, whether Huo Weilou had used any means to coax his good daughter!

"Youyou, do you know how hard it is for Hou Men's Deep House?"

Bo Ruoyou had expected Cheng Yunzhi's many worries, but she seemed to be careful, "Foster father, the daughter you said wants to get it, but for the first time, Hou Yefei and other generations of Qin Muchu, and secondly, the daughter only has this admiration. The heart is not what they want. Now the Lin family does not need to force their marriage. As for where the daughter will marry in the future, just take it and see."

Cheng Yunzhi said bitterly: "But if you abandon the Lin family and want to find a relationship like the Lin family in the future, but there is no more, how can you do it then?"

Bo Ruoyou tilted his head for a moment and thought, "Daughter makes her own choice, so she can bear all the cause and effect. You can rest assured."

Cheng Yunzhi did not immediately agree, but looked down and thought. Bo Ruoyou didn't urge him, but just beat his leg carefully. After a while, Cheng Yunzhi looked at Bo Ruoyou's clever appearance and felt soft, "Do you really want to do it?"

Bo Ruo faintly nodded, Cheng Yunzhi sighed, "Then... Then I will repair the book and send it to the Lin family. Let's see what Lin Huai is like. You don't want this marriage, but you don't want to talk about it. It's just..."

"That Wu Zhaohou is extraordinary and vulgar, you might be able to see how true he is to you? He is of noble origin, and now he only covers the sky with one hand in the court. When he gets his mind, you are a thousand honors. But if you don’t like him one day, you will have no retreat, quietly, the foster father actually doesn’t want you to marry you into this class."

Bo Ruoyou said with relief: "Foster father thought about her daughter, but you know her daughter’s temperament. Your daughter will not obey your arrangements because of filial piety, and she will not let anyone else because she admires. Without this ambition, how can I still work for you today? The daughter is stupid and doesn't know how to understand people's hearts, but the daughter thinks that it is always right to be slow in everything, so the daughter is not in a hurry to get married. obedience."

When Cheng Yunzhi saw that her eyes were gentle but tough, and her tone was calm and calm, she knew that she had an idea in her heart. Whatever I am willing, nothing more, I am going to fix the book now, and I don’t bother to see him again. After reading the letter, he will understand."

Bo Ruoyou got up to help Cheng Yunzhi, went to the study, and personally polished the ink for him. Cheng Yunzhi exhaled and wrote two large sheets, and they stacked them again, preparing for Zhou Liang to deliver the letter, but Bo Ruoyou said, "It's still my daughter. Send it."

Cheng Yunzhi was a little puzzled, but it didn’t matter if she wanted to go out. Bo Ruoyou took the letter and went out. He rode the carriage to the Lin Mansion first. After handing the letter to the concierge, he turned back, but he hadn’t walked a few steps yet, Bo Ruoyou Opened the curtain, "Liangshu, go to Wuzhaohou Mansion first."

Zhou Liang was slightly surprised, but Bo Ruoyou made a silent gesture, "I don't ask the foster father what he asked Liangshu to do, and Liangshu can't tell the foster father what I asked you to do, okay?"

Zhou Liang's face was plain, he coughed lightly and drove to Wuzhaohou Mansion.

It is dusk now, and Bo Ruoyou said, "I will come out with half a stick of incense, and my uncle will be waiting for me here."

Zhou Liang responded, and seeing Bo Ruoyou walking towards the Hou Mansion, he inexplicably felt that today's Bo Ruoyou felt more calm and steady, and looked like a little master.

...

When Huo Weilou left the Lin Mansion, he felt unhappy. Once he returned to the mansion, he asked Father Fu to find out which family in the capital surnamed Cheng had an incident more than ten years ago. After only half a day, he found what he wanted.

Father Fu held a letter and entered the study. It was sunset and the light in the study was dim. After Huo Weilou was sitting on the bookcase, the whole body was so sulking that strangers should not come near him.

Father Fu handed the letter paper up, "Hou Ye, after checking it out, the old slave felt that Mr. Cheng was familiar with him that day. It turns out that the old slave really met him."

Huo Weilou read the letter slowly, and said: "Where have you seen it?"

Fu Gong said: "I have seen it in the palace."

Huo Weilou opened the letter and frowned after looking at it, "Doctor Cheng's family?"

Fu Gonggong nodded, "His father was the former director of the Taiyuan Hospital, and now the father of Ming Gongzi, and he can be regarded as the same brother. In the Huifei case 13 years ago, Mr. Cheng's father used the wrong prescription, because In this case, the Cheng family was ransacked, and Mr. Cheng’s father was sentenced to be executed. Mr. Cheng himself had been admitted to the hospital, but he was demoted from his position. Not only that, the descendants of the Cheng family could no longer enter the palace to practice medicine. Nor can they get any official positions."

Thirteen years ago, Huo Weilou was only ten years old, but he still remembers the case of Concubine Hui in the mouth of Father Fu. Thirteen years ago, Concubine Hui was pregnant and waiting to give birth, but died of a **** collapse on the night of labor. The baby boy was born. It was also a stillbirth, and later it was discovered that the palace in the palace had been poisoned, and the hospital at the time was implicated due to the ineffective treatment of the wrong prescription.

Huo Weilou’s memory of the case is still fresh, because Queen Xu’s mother family was also involved, and the entire harem was in turmoil. Emperor Jianhe was almost abolished because of this. The case involved nearly a hundred people inside and outside the palace. It was one of them, so he didn't have any impression of the Cheng family, but didn't want to know that Cheng Yunzhi was actually from such a background and involved the royal family's case. No wonder he would leave Beijing to avoid disaster.

"The old slave vaguely remembered that at that time, the old slave often accompanied His Royal Highness Princess in and out of the inner palace. He ran into Mr. Cheng. At that time, Mr. Cheng was only in his early twenties. It was just an ordinary imperial physician. After his father's accident, the entire Cheng family was gone, but the case was still investigated for a long time. I wanted to be afraid of being involved again, so I left Beijing directly."

Huo Weilou frowned slightly, "No wonder Lin Huai is old acquaintance."

Father Fu had already asked the attendants who followed Huo Weilou. Knowing that Huo Weilou's anger today came from the Lin family, he tentatively asked: "Did their father and daughter go to the Lin family today? Is it for that family?"

Huo Weilou folded the letter paper, and his sword eyebrows wrinkled again. Father Fu looked at it with a sigh, "Master Hou, the old slave has said that this is not easy. , It’s even more difficult for two people to agree to white their heads."

"I know." Huo Weilou's tone became colder, "No one knows better than me."

Father Fu's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly turned around, "However, Lord Hou doesn't have to think about such a hardship. What kind of temperament is Youyou, from your eyesight, can't be more clear. It's just that you are always the same, Youyou Doing errands with you makes you satisfied, but now you are not letting her be your subordinate, and you can’t treat her with the same thoughts you had in the past. How unfair to her? How aggrieved?"

Huo Weilou's brows tightened. Of course he had never treated her with his previous thoughts. He had never tried to think about her before. She thought he was making his own way. But she had followed her adoptive father to the Lin Mansion to get the marriage back. Can't be done by her?

The more Huo Weilou thought about it, the more annoyed he became. He was dignified and Wu Zhaohou. He had never been so sullen. If he can't even grasp the person he likes, and watched her clamoring with others to settle the relationship, what is the use of his power?

But Father-in-Law Fu was right, he didn't let Bo Ruoyou be her subordinate, and he couldn't use that set of swift and resolute methods in this matter.

Huo Weilou exhaled and looked at the sky outside. He said to his heart that Cheng Yunzhi and Bo Ruoyou must have left the Lin Mansion at this hour, so he ordered: "Go and pick her up."

Father Fu responded and turned and went out, but as soon as he left the house, he heard him exclaimed, "Youyou?!"

Huo Weilou twisted his eyebrows, his first thought was that it was impossible.

However, the next moment, he saw a beautiful shadow enter the door of the study. Huo Weilou was taken aback, and suddenly he couldn't believe it. When did he not lead her to pick her up, why did she ever see her voluntarily appear?

"Farewell to Lord Hou." Bo Ruoyou saluted, with a slight smile on his face.

Huo Weilou looked at her, and she hadn't recovered for a while, but thinking that she was still angry, her tone was a little cold, "What happened to the palace?"

Bo Ruoyou's heart was still a little worried. It was obvious that his back was straight and his face was cold. Instead, the hanging heart fell to the ground. She said in a relaxed voice: "I have made it clear with my foster father, and I will not be married to the Lin family. Many years have passed since this marriage, and we don't count it. The Lin family is willing to decide which family's relatives to have nothing to do with us."

After Bo Ruoyou finished speaking, the expression in Huo Weilou's eyes moved slightly. He looked at Bo Ruoyou, with complex expressions in his eyes. When he reached his mouth, he held it back again. Bo Ruoyou blessed the body very quickly. Then I'm leaving."

She finished speaking and left. People were almost out of the study before Huo Wei Building reacted. He hurriedly said, "You stop."

Bo Ruoyou stopped and turned, Huo Weilou frowned and said, "How did you convince your foster father?"

Bo Ruoyou blinked, "Foster father loved me since I was young, and never forced me to do things that I don’t like. It works, it's that simple."

Huo Weilou felt that he was choked. Bo Ruoyou's remarks seemed to be accusing him. After saying this, Bo Ruoyou blessed his body again, "It's too late, I'm going home."

After she finished speaking, Huo Weilou wanted to get up and chase her, but somehow felt that she would not be able to keep her today. He only froze on the seat for a while, and he carefully touched her words, the more he thought about it. I think she was deliberate, but I can think of Cheng Yunzhi’s experience, and when he thinks of Cheng Yunzhi’s day trip to the house and want to ask for the family back, she changed his mind in the afternoon when she talked about her, and gave birth to some unspeakable feelings in his heart. He recalled that he was in Luozhou for a while. At the beginning, when she initially responded to her request, she had a surprised look on her face, and suddenly felt that she had used the wrong method.

Bo Ruoyou was very flustered, got into the carriage and patted his chest, and hurriedly ordered Zhou Liang to drive home, fearing that Huo Weilou would catch up. He was relieved when he walked out of a street, and his heart finally came in front of Wu Zhaohou today. Feel free to go back! She squeezed the fists in her sleeves, once and for all, she would never fear him again in the future!

The closer she got to the house, the more relaxed she felt. But before the carriage arrived at the house, she saw two horses outside. With a heart move, she quickly walked into the house, and soon saw Wu Xiang and Hou Yang in the main hall.

Wu Xiang stood up when she saw her, "Xiao Bo, you are back!"

"Why did Wu catch the head? Is there a new case?"

Wu Xiang took two steps forward, "It's not a new case, or the infanticide case. I'm here to ask you, tomorrow may I go with me to Guzhang Village, twenty miles away from the city?"

Bo Ruoyou frowned, "What are you going to do there?"

Wu Xiang looked slightly solemn, "Guzhang Village is in the lower reaches of the Luohe River. Do you remember that I took you to the beach where the dead baby was found. The strange rocks there are rugged and look very unusual, but today we visited outside the city. I learned that the rugged rock may not be useless, and it is most likely an ancient altar."

Bo Ruoyou said with a solemn expression, "The altar...with living infants as a sacrifice?"

Wu Xiang nodded, "This kind of altar appeared in this Guzhang Village a few years ago, and it was introduced to the capital as a witchcraft at the time. Not only that, but today I asked a few long-time workers who were working, they said Guzhang Village. Several families have died of children."

Bo Ruoyou's back was slightly cold, and he said hurriedly: "Okay, I'll let you go."
