The string of Buddhist beads was finally worn on Wen Yu's hand.

Mrs. Xiao's sobs were still in her ears. She was too sad just now, and she fainted once.Even though she was so sad, she still insisted on her point of view, absolutely not allowing Dali Temple to dissect Xiao Bochong's body.

It has been nearly three hours since Xiao Bochong passed away, and his corpse has become stiff and rigid, and there are obvious corpse spots and corpse odor.

Mrs. Xiao had already ordered the coffin to be carried outside the house, intending to carry her husband into the coffin instead of being so indecently exposed outside.

But Yuan Zhan flatly rejected Mrs. Xiao's request.

From the perspective of Mrs. Xiao, it is not impossible to understand that the parents who received the body, hair and skin, left as soon as they were born, intact and safe in the ground.The autopsy was only made in the previous dynasty, but it is a new thing in the past hundred years. For any deceased person today, disembowelling and death without a whole body is a first-class shame and shame.

It's just that Xiao Bochong's identity is different from others, as the empress dowager's elder brother, a relative of the emperor, he must not be vague about the past, and the cause of death must be found out.

Silent, no one speaks.

The officials of Dali Temple stood behind Yuan Zhan, not daring to raise their heads to meet Mrs. Xiao's eyes.Only Yuan Zhan and Wen Yu behind him still had normal expressions at the moment.

Mrs. Xiao stood in front of Xiao Bochong's body, and the servants of the Xiao family followed her, refusing any officials from Dali Temple to approach.

"My lords, unfortunately, my husband passed away unexpectedly today. Why can't he be buried in the ground for peace? After his death, he needs to create a human body for autopsy. The old man is already grieving enough. Please don't embarrass me."

She seemed to be speaking to the Dali Temple officials present, but everyone knew that the only person Mrs. Xiao needed to persuade was Yuan Zhan, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

Yuan Zhan said indifferently: "Madam Xiao's pain is clear, but how did Madam conclude that Uncle Xiao Guo's death was accidental, not someone else's intentional murder?"

Mrs. Xiao stopped talking.

Wen Yu looked at the two confronting each other, Fang Chunming was indeed right, her horizons were indeed broadened today.

It's just that her physical condition today is too weak.Wen Yu raised her wrist, sniffed the Buddhist beads in her hand, and exhaled slowly.

Fortunately, it is much better now, Wen Yu stared at the Buddhist beads in his hand, and sighed secretly in his heart, well, a few days ago, he vowed that he would not wear it again, but he did not expect to wear it again today, and it was still in Yuan Zhan’s hand.The string of beads.

The remaining dissatisfaction in Wen Yu's heart has long since dissipated. Although Yuan Wenxuan has a lot of bad tastes, today I do owe him another favor.

However, this still can't stop Wen Yu from continuing to watch the show, her eyes are full of curiosity, Mrs. Xiao is the empress dowager's sister-in-law, Yuan Shaoqing is the empress's brother, tsk, don't know who will give in in the end.

However, have to sigh that Your Majesty is really wise.After all, if it weren't for Yuan Zhan, no one would be able to suppress Mrs. Xiao.

Thinking of Xie Yu, Wen Yu's expression returned to calm.Why are you entangled in those old things that are old and rotten? It's true.

Wen Yu complained about herself, and continued to observe Mrs. Xiao, although Mrs. Xiao's expressions and actions were full of sadness, there was nothing wrong.But Wen Yu discovered a very interesting point.

Mrs. Xiao's makeup is very beautiful, obviously she cried like that just now, the makeup on her face is so firm that it seems to be glued on, but as far as she knows, the cosmetics at this time, except for adding a little oil to the eyebrow pencil to make it waterproof, The waterproof function of rice powder and rouge is not so good.

Could it be that Mrs. Xiao secretly touched up her makeup again when she was resting after crying and tired.Then Mrs. Xiao must pay too much attention to her manners. Wen Yu was startled by her mind-blowing idea. She frowned and pondered for a while, and then observed it carefully again. It seemed that her guess seemed to have some basis..

Mrs. Xiao may not want to leave a bad side to outsiders, but she still cared so much about her appearance when Xiao Bochong died.Then Mrs. Xiao, is there really a husband who loves her as much as she said, and is she really as distraught as she is?

But this alone is not enough to prove that Mrs. Xiao has any suspicions. After all, there are not a few wealthy families, superficial husband and wife, who are at odds with each other.

But Xiao Bochong only married Mrs. Xiao, and he always presented the image of a loving couple to the outside world.Wen Yu pursed her lips, forget it, she doesn't quite understand these complicated emotions, and she can't make wild guesses without any basis.

Mrs. Xiao supported the hand of the servant girl next to her, and roared hysterically, but her voice was hoarse beyond appearance, "Xiao Bochong is the elder brother of the current empress dowager, and there is no order from the empress dowager. Let me see who dares to dissect my body."Husband."

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Xiao probably couldn't stand it anymore, and fainted again.

The servants of the Xiao family suddenly became a mess.

Yuan Zhan still had no expression on his face, and he didn't show any emotion. He said to the housekeeper beside him, "Housekeeper Xiao, when Mrs. Xiao wakes up, tell her for me. Since she asks so, then I will do as she wishes. Seven daysI will come again within a few days."

"Farewell."

The officials of Dali Temple left one after another.

Wen Yu stood in front of Fang Chunming's carriage. Although she didn't say it clearly, one could tell from her expression that she would never ride in this carriage.

Fang Chunming sighed repeatedly with Wen Yu's obvious refusal expression, but he also seemed to know that his driving skills were not appreciated by many people, so he spread his hands, "Okay, then I'll go home by myself. Wen Pingshi, be careful all the way."

Wen Yu returned the salute and bid farewell, complaining in her heart, even if don't know Fang Sicheng, you are uneasy and kind, and would rather walk than suffer the crime of a carriage again.

The lanterns in front of the gate of Xiao's house were still brightly lit, but looking further ahead, the street was completely dark.

The Xiao Mansion occupies a large area, but it is on the edge of the imperial city, and there is still a considerable distance from Wen Yu's residence.

However, there is still half an hour before the curfew. If you walk faster, you may not be caught by the night patrol soldiers.Wen Zhen stretched her muscles and bones, it was still a bit cold this day, so she walked back to warm up her body.

Since that day in the Xu Mansion, she has been avoiding Yuan Zhan for the past few days, but Wen Yu raised her wrist, and she had to return the sandalwood bracelet to him tomorrow.

Wen Yu rubbed her head, the favor is too hard to repay.

And today's case, although His Majesty ordered the news to be blocked, he probably already knew what he should know.

Wen Yu still doesn't know which game she has entered, but she is undoubtedly a pawn on someone else's chessboard.

Walking through the corner of the street, Wen Yu saw a familiar carriage parked by the side of the road, and Yuan Zhan's voice came from inside, "Come up, I'll take you back."

She hesitated standing in front of the carriage, and suddenly, a hand stretched out from inside and dragged her into the carriage.

"Go to the official building first." Yuan Zhan ordered the people outside.

Yuan Zhan's hand clasped Wen Yu's wrist firmly, and the other hand wrapped around her waist, clasping Wen Yu on his body.

Silent.

The inside of the carriage was pitch black, and Wen Yu couldn't see Yuan Zhan's expression clearly, but the low pressure on this man's body had already given her the answer.

Yuan Zhan pressed Wen Yu's ear and asked softly, his eyes dimmed.His breath swept over Wen Yu's ears, and she struggled violently.

Wen Yu was afraid of the driver who was driving outside, so she didn't dare to speak loudly, but even if she lowered her voice, the unhappiness and anger mixed with it were still obvious, "Lord Yuan, please let go of me."

Yuan Zhan was a little out of control, he buried his face between Wen Yu's neck, the faint body fragrance from Wen Yu's body filled the tip of his nose, for some reason, he suddenly let go of the shackles on Wen Yu.

Yuan Zhan rubbed his dizzy head, "Sorry, my head hurts. I lost my composure just now, can you give me the string of beads?"

Wen Yu looked at him suspiciously.

The inside of the car was still pitch black, Wen Yu handed him something, and inadvertently touched Yuan Zhan's hand, but to Wen Yu's surprise, Yuan Zhan just took the Buddha beads and did not do anything else that made him feel uncomfortable.Action, but somewhat evasive.

Could it be that he hugged him just now because of the sandalwood Buddha incense on his body?

Except for the squeaking of the wheels of the carriage on the ground, there was silence.

Yuan Zhan held the Buddhist beads in his hand and kept rubbing them. Slowly, he sighed, "Heng Qi, if I offended you just now, I hope you can forgive me."

Yuan Zhan's voice was faint, as if what he said had nothing to do with him, "Because of an accident when I was young, my mother sent me to a temple in Lingchang to rest for two years. If I leave this sandalwood now, I'm afraidI can't survive in this world."

The desolation revealed inside is shocking.

Is it because I misunderstood myself? Thinking of Yuan Zhan's actions to take care of her today, Wen Yu felt a little guilty.

She pursed her lips, "Brother Wenzhen, I'm sorry, I don't know your situation. I blamed you just now."

Thoughts flashed, Wen Yu realized the significance of this string of beads to Yuan Zhan, and she suddenly thought of the scene when Yuan Zhan gave her the beads a few days ago.

Did she also misunderstand at that time?

Wen Yu lowered her eyes, what to do, she felt more and more guilty.

Yuan Zhan's eyes flickered slightly, and he stared straight at Wen Yu with eagle-like sharp eyes, and the effect of showing weakness occasionally was not bad.

He chuckled, "Why do you want to say sorry, this time it was my fault first. Heng Qi, I sent you home because I actually wanted to talk to you."

Wen Yu was about to say something to ease the embarrassment in her heart, but before she could speak, Yuan Zhan spoke.

His voice was much lower than before, "Heng Qi, I should have warned you, stay away from Fang Chunming."

The goosebumps on Wen Yu's body rose instantly, and there was only one thought left in her mind at the moment.

Yuan Zhan knew that Fang Chunming had ulterior motives.

The author has something to say:

Later, Wen Xiaozhen was full of question marks: Why did I look like a fool back then??Believe everything others say.
