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

Chapter 34
Liu Si was naturally the one who went back to the mansion with Master Shen Er.

"...Specially inquired about the girl's whereabouts in the mansion these few days, specifically abducted her to a bank, exchanged a gold key and put it in her purse..."

Shen Lingxi weighed the golden locket in her purse and smiled.

Is this going to bribe her?I'm afraid it's not that simple.

Liu Si continued: "I also asked people to buy gadgets for the maidservants and mothers in the Songzhuyuan. For Miss Cuiyuan, there was an extra bead flower."

As soon as these words came out, the expression of the magpie next to him changed immediately.

With her green fingertips, Shen Lingxi pointed at the butterfly hairpin on the magpie's head, and asked again intentionally, "What kind of pearl hairpin is it? Is it like this?"

"It's much more expensive than this. It's a durian with hundreds of seeds." Liu Si said very kindly, "The tassels on the pearl hairpin are bright red and worth more than ten taels of silver."

Shen Lingxi clicked her tongue in admiration, "Liu Kai Baizi, the meaning is really good, is this to propose marriage? Or to add makeup? If it is to propose marriage, then it is really more than gold."

The four words "Love is stronger than gold" made the magpie stagger back two steps, and the butterfly-love flower hairpin trembled and flapped its wings.

But then, Magpie suddenly understood something, stood up straight, raised his chin, "Shen Lingxi, I know what your plan is, you want to provoke me and Liang Lang, you have a good idea. I am already dead, can it be possible Do I still hope that Liang Lang will never marry me for the rest of my life? He is someone who wants to achieve great things, and there is no shortage of helpers around him. Even if he sends things to Cui Yuan, it is nothing more than enticing her to do something. He and I have a real relationship. "

Your brain is really hopeless.

Shen Lingxi stopped looking at her, pointed to the bottle of hair oil in front of her, and asked Liu Si, "This is the hair oil my ancestor used for more than a month. Cuiyuan said that Aunt Zhao made it for my ancestor. Do you know this?" thing?"

"Isn't this the prescription that the magpie gave to my mother-in-law? The narcissus pollen was brought from the hometown by the magpie." Liu Si looked at the magpie, "Say it yourself, is it you?"

Magpie looked away, apparently not intending to answer.

Liu Si sensed something was wrong, "Girl, this, this hair..."

"The smell is not quite right. I have to find a reliable doctor to find out what's inside. The ancestor's illness is probably related to what's inside." Shen Lingxi replied truthfully.

Liu Da turned pale in shock, "Then my mother-in-law, don't they want to be regarded as a murderer by them?"

Shen Lingxi nodded.

At this point, she already understood why the ghost of the previous magpie hated her when he saw her for the first time.

Why would you say something like "If you weren't meddling in your own business... I wouldn't have given up my life..." to her.

If Shen Lingxi hadn't pulled out Liu Si's body back then, or let the government hastily designate Liu Si as a "suicide".

Wait until the ancestor's funeral to find out what's in the oil.

That is the ironclad evidence that Liu Si and his wife deliberately murdered their ancestors.

With their husband and wife to blame, as long as Shen Liang doesn't want the magpie to die, the magpie can get away.

However, because of Shen Lingxi's intervention, their original plan was completely disrupted.

Liu Si's death was discovered in advance, which alarmed Dali Temple. Shen Liang could only let the magpie commit suicide in fear of crime, and then kill Zhao Afeng before he died, so that no one would know that he had taken the embroidered handkerchief from the warehouse thing.

But why did he have to cover it up?
Why must the mother who loves and trusts him have to die?
Shen Lingxi couldn't figure it out.

"Since I found out about the hair oil, I have my own opinion. You can rest assured that Aunt Zhao will not be affected. You have been with Shen Liang for so many days, but have you ever seen that Fangxiu handkerchief again?"

Liu Si looked calm and shook his head, "I haven't seen the second master take out an embroidered handkerchief these days, and I haven't heard him mention it. But when he returned to the mansion today, he wanted to go to the study in the front yard to find Lord Hou. Lord Hou has not yet come to court, so he went to Songzhuyuan. Lord Hou has always listened to him the most, if..."

Before Liu Si finished speaking, there was a sudden yelling in the yard.

Shen Lingxi raised her eyes, and saw her half-way father, who had no time to change out of court clothes, walked in hurriedly.

This is the first time for Shen Ji to come to the Jingsiyuan. When he saw Shen Lingxi, he came up with a lesson: "Your grandmother is still ill, even if you ask you to take care of some things, don't take it too seriously. Anyway, remember one sentence 'Family and everything is prosperous', the magpie is dead, it should be hers, it shouldn't be hers, it's all on her head, this matter is over, understand?"

The so-called "home and everything prospers" means "harmony and mud".

It's very interesting--
The biggest suspect, the second room, put on the attitude of "it has nothing to do with him, and hangs high".

But Shen Ji, the majestic head of the family, rushed to make peace.

If Shen Lingxi hadn't been able to see the souls of the dead, he might have been taken into the ditch by his father's jumping up and down attitude, thinking that he was behind the scenes.

It is related to the safety of Xuanping Hou Mansion, Shen Lingxi is not stingy to confess to him, "Mu Huaian said that although the magpie is dead, Dali Temple will not close the case hastily, and a daughter is found on Liu Si's body. Tang was assassinated by a man in black, and it was finally found out that the man in black was from Yinyue Pavilion. The embroidered envoy also knew about this, so Daddy thinks, can this matter be passed easily?"

Shen Ji's expression changed drastically.

"Check it out! You have to check it out! You have to check it out!"

But in the blink of an eye, he asked her calmly again, "Did Mu Shaoqing tell you the truth, and how far must the investigation go before the case can be closed?"

Still want to make mud.

It seems that this half-way father may not be completely ignorant of what happened in the mansion.

Shen Lingxi's eyes drooped slightly, pretending to be ignorant, and said vaguely: "I only heard Mu Shaoqing mention the word 'embroidered handkerchief', no matter how much it is, I don't know."

"Embroidered handkerchief? What embroidered handkerchief?" Shen Ji's eyes widened, and the look of bewilderment on his face did not seem to be fake.

"It seems that there was an embroidered handkerchief in the ancestor's warehouse, which was secretly replaced by someone." Shen Lingxi pointed out to him the record "Kaisi Songhe Tuan Fan" in the warehouse catalogue, "Liu Si is precisely because of this, It will lead to death. The embroiderer just happens to be checking the embroidered handkerchief, so maybe one day he will come to search the house, and we don't know."

Shen Ji frowned when he heard this, and asked her to report the latest progress to him every day, and left in a hurry.

Magpie was already numb to her tricks, "You can only deceive people. Liang Lang will definitely not be easily fooled by you like me."

"Oh? Really?" Shen Lingxi looked at her with a smile, "If my guess is right, Shen Ji is going to look for him right now. Then I hope he can sit still as you said, otherwise But I'm about to get caught by the tail."

Seeing her appearance, the magpie felt uncertain, stopped staring at her, and hurriedly ran to the second master Shen Liang.

Shen Lingxi pondered for a while, wrote a letter, and handed it along with the bottle of oil to the secret guard Mu Huai'an gave her, "Please hand this letter to Mu Shaoqing, he will come to the house tomorrow Here, play a play with me."

Although Chu Yan used hot spring water to wash off the blood stains on his body that day, it still triggered a childhood knot. That night, he was haunted by nightmares and had a headache. It took a few days for him to get better.

When Mu Huai'an received the letter from the dark guard, he was visiting Prince Ning's mansion...
