All the ancestors in the capital begged me to be a substitute

Shen Lingxi didn't expect that the ancestor of Wu Anbo's family was murdered to death.

"Do you have anyone to suspect? His Royal Highness and Dali Temple Shaoqing Mu Huai'an are both in the mansion. If you have any suspects, I can tell them for you. The Embroidered Clothes Envoy and Dali Temple will be able to get back together in the fastest time." Find out the case and punish the murderer for you."

The old ancestor waved his hand, "There is no rush."

Shen Lingxi was startled.

For the dead souls who have been killed in vain, punishing the murderer and avenging themselves have always been the most important thing.

The old ancestor actually said "no hurry"... This is really incredible.

"Could it be that you already know who the murderer is?" Shen Lingxi asked thoughtfully.

The old ancestor seemed to think of something, and snorted softly.

"Zuo are just some young people who can't get on the stage." She looked at Shen Lingxi with a pleading look in her eyes, "Girl, there is a more important thing now, and only you can help me. Help me with your grandmother's friendship during her lifetime. After the matter is completed, I will definitely give you a generous gift. "

Shen Lingxi knew that Mrs. Wang valued this Mrs. Xie very much before she was alive. She had received such a great favor from Mrs. Wang, so she would help her only friend in life no matter what.

"Please tell me, if there is anything I can help with, I will do my best to help."

The old ancestor didn't expect her to answer so simply, he was very surprised in his heart, and even more grateful.

"Thank you." Tears flickered in her slightly cloudy eyes, "I have a son who is useless and has been fooling around outside. He came home a few days ago and had an argument with me. Can you Help me get him back?"

Speaking of this, she paused, "When you see him, tell him for me that I was murdered, and let him find out the murderer for me. Then I can rest in peace."

Shen Lingxi didn't expect that the "more important thing" that the ancestor said was this.

She immediately thought of Mr. Su Jiu who was mentioned by Chun Jun earlier, who "recited poems at the age of three and could write essays at the age of seven".

Presumably the person the ancestor was looking for was him.

Leaving the Embroidery Envoy and the people from Dali Temple alone, she asked her to bring Su Jiu back to investigate the case.

Could it be that this Ninth Master is more powerful than the Embroidery Envoy and Dali Temple?
Shen Lingxi didn't understand.

But when she saw her ancestor's earnest eyes, she couldn't question her face to face.

"Okay, I promise you." She nodded, "You can also go to find him with me, but if you see His Royal Highness, you have to stay away from him, otherwise the evil spirit on his body may cause accidental injury you."

The ancestors readily agreed.

Yun Huan, who was at the side, heard this, and remembered Shen Lingxi's action of pulling Chu Yan just now, and a sudden look flashed in his eyes.

After Shen Lingxi restored the remains of the ancestors, she came out of the upper room, and the outside of the room was already covered in night and the sky was full of stars.

Mrs. Zeng led the female relatives in the mansion and waited outside the courtyard.

When everyone saw the restored face of their ancestors, they wept bitterly.To Shen Lingxi, of course, I am very grateful.

Because the ancestor's two sons are not around, especially Wu Anbo and his two sons are far away in Tongwu Pass, they have to wait for them to rush back to the funeral before the funeral can be held.

Shen Lingxi embalmed the ancestor's corpse, and taught the Su family how to properly preserve the corpse.

After explaining this, she declined the Su family's offer to stay overnight, and left Wu'anbo Mansion with Yun Wang, taking the soul of her ancestors with her.

As soon as she left the gate of Bo's mansion, Shen Lingxi saw Chunjun holding a lantern in his hand and guarding the door.

"Miss." Chunjun stepped forward to salute, and said with a smile: "Your Highness guessed that you might not stay in the Su Mansion, so he let me wait here. Unexpectedly, His Highness really guessed it, please come with me .”

Surprise flashed in Shen Lingxi's eyes.

Thinking that Chu Yan and Mu Huai'an went to check the scene of the ancestor's accident earlier, they should have found something, so they left Chun Jun to tell her in detail.

Just in time, Shen Lingxi promised the ancestor to find Su Jiu.

However, in the huge capital city, with her ability, if she wanted to find someone in a short period of time, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

If you can use the power of the Embroidered Clothes Envoy, it is undoubtedly the fastest way.

Shen Lingxi was also about to ask Chunjun for help.

The gate of the uncle's house is indeed not a good place to talk about this case.

"You go to the carriage and wait for me first." Shen Lingxi confessed to Yun Huang.

Then he winked at the old ancestor and asked her to go to the carriage too, then followed Chunjun and walked towards the intersection.

As soon as she walked out of the street, Shen Lingxi saw a dark and simple carriage parked at the corner of the street.

A few embroidered clothes keep lanterns by the side of the car.

Candles were burning in the carriage, and a tall and straight silhouette who was writing and reviewing official documents was projected on the bamboo curtain.

"Why is Your Highness here?" Shen Lingxi asked puzzled.

Chunjun immediately heard that the girl didn't understand His Royal Highness's intentions at all, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness saw that it was getting late, and worried that if the girl didn't stay in the Su Mansion, she wouldn't be able to leave the city and have no place to stay at night, so she told us to wait in Here, I have been waiting for the girl for more than two hours."

Shen Lingxi: ...

Now she has taken over most of the Xuanping Hou Mansion's family business, not to mention the place where she lives, she has lived in the capital for a long time, and there are several houses.

Shen Lingxi would never think that Chu Yan was waiting for her.

She couldn't help feeling in her heart that His Royal Highness, the grandson of the emperor, although he looked cold on the face, would actually stand guard at the gate of the mansion in his busy schedule and wait for her for more than two hours because of his aunt's case...

"Your Highness is indeed a benevolent and filial person." Shen Lingxi praised sincerely: "He is really a role model for my generation."

Chunjun:? ? ?filial piety?Renxiao? ? ?

Shen Lingxi didn't pay attention to the expression on Chunjun's face, and boarded the carriage directly.

In the carriage, Chu Yan was concentrating on reviewing official documents by candlelight.

On the small red clay stove on the side, tea soup is simmering, the tea is fragrant and warm.

Seeing her coming up, Chu Yan was still busy, so he said casually: "The autumn night is cold, drink a cup of tea to warm up first, and wait for me for a while."

Shen Lingxi responded and sat down opposite him.

Seeing that the teacup in front of him was empty, he reached out to pick up the teapot, filled the teacup for him, and poured a cup for himself.

The carriage moved slowly, and Shen Lingxi held the teacup with her green fingertips, feeling the warmth of her palm, and unconsciously looked at the opposite person with her almond eyes.

Perhaps it was because Chu Yan was pretending to be a scholar again today. The warm light from the candle, interlaced with light and dark, cast a layer of light on his handsome face, giving his usually cold and deep features a kind of almost gentleness. warmth.

On this autumn windy night, Shen Lingxi looked at him, and felt somewhat pleasing to the eye for no reason.

As the saying goes, "everyone has the love of beauty", the scene in front of you is like looking at a picture of a beauty under a lamp.

Shen Lingxi's eyes softened a little unconsciously.

After Chu Yan finished reviewing the official document in his hand, he put down his pen and raised his eyelids, his cold gaze was caught off guard, and then fell into a pair of clear and innocent eyes.

He noticed that Shen Lingxi had been staring at him intently, with a bit of a look in his eyes, which was different from the gentleness in the past.

Chu Yan only felt an inexplicable confusion rising in his heart, and his ears felt a little hot.

He pursed his thin lips slightly, and asked in a cold voice with some hesitation, "You...why are you looking at me like this?"
