"Then I'd like to thank the shopkeeper." Chu Yan bowed his head warmly and politely.

Shen Lingxi led him into the shop and lit the oil lamp.

There is a lot of ice in the house, and in summer, there is no ice basin in the shop, so as soon as you enter the house, there is a refreshing chill.

If you are a taboo person, you will think it is Yin Qi.

Shen Lingxi saw that his expression was as usual and nothing strange, so he pointed at the coffins in a row against the wall, "There are paulownia wood, pine wood, cypress wood, sandalwood, and golden nanmu. They are all newly polished. Lang Jun can Take your pick.”

Chu Yan: "...Thank you very much."

"But..." Shen Lingxi lowered her head slightly and said with some embarrassment: "The coffin where Mr. Lang slept is difficult to sell..."

Chu Yan's moon-like eyes froze for a moment.

He just came here on a temporary basis and didn't bring any money with him.

But soon, he took off the jade pendant from his waist, put it in the palm of his hand, handed it to Shen Lingxi, and asked gently and politely, "I came here in a hurry and didn't bring any money. I wonder if I can use this jade to buy a coffin. Is it enough?"

The Hetian jade of excellent material is worth a thousand taels of silver.

"That's enough, that's enough." Shen Lingxi took the jade pendant from his palm, smiled and frowned, and took out a thin quilt and pillow from the inner room, "They are all new, sir, please help yourself."

After that, he bowed and walked into the inner room without looking back.

The moment the door closed, the smile on Shen Lingxi's face disappeared from the corners of her lips.

She lowered her eyes and played with the jade pendant in her hand.

Although his temperament has changed and he is older, the outline of the young general from a few years ago can still be vaguely seen in his facial features.

What a coincidence.

As soon as the embroidered clothes commander captured the Tian brothers, the dignified embroidered clothes commander, His Highness the Crown Prince of the Zhou Dynasty, came to Fu'an Hall disguised as a Confucian scholar.

What a coincidence.

Early the next morning, Mu Huaian arrived at Wangxian Village early.

As soon as the door of Shen's coffin shop opened, a man dressed as a Confucian scholar in a moon-white Taoist robe walked out of the house.

"You...you..." Mu Huaian opened his eyes wide, as if he was seeing a ghost.

Chu Yan was very calm and bowed to him politely, "Mu Shaoqing, I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you okay?"

He couldn't bear this gift. Mu Huaian turned aside and said, "What are you..."

"You... know each other?" Shen Lingxi walked out from behind and asked with a surprised look on her face.

"We know each other." Before Mu Huaian could speak, Chu Yan smiled slightly and said, "My aunt is from the same clan as Shaoqing, so the Mu family has taken care of the family's business."

Mu Huaian looked at him strangely.

Next ?Business??

He felt like he almost didn't recognize the person in front of him.

"That's quite a coincidence." Shen Lingxi asked pretending to be curious, "I wonder what kind of business Lang Jun's family does?"

"I do some silk embroidery business, so I went to Su City and met Yao Niang." Chu Yan knew everything he knew and talked about it, and his attitude was very gentle, friendly and kind.

Mu Huaian finally understood.

It seems that Shen Lingxi did something again, and this time she really got into trouble and was targeted by the embroidered clothes envoy.

But, keep an eye on it.

If the commander goes off in person, what kind of trouble will this cause?

Shen Lingxi felt that if His Royal Highness Da Zhou, the grandson of the Emperor, did not go to the Yuchun class to sing as a niche student, it would be a dereliction of his talents.

"Yao Niang's mourning hall is in the main hall of Fu'an Hall. If you want to express your condolences, you can go there by yourself." She said politely, nodded slightly to Mu Huaian, and went on her own.

After she left, Mu Huaian finally had the chance to speak, "What are you going to do, Your Highness? You and her last night, you..."

"Last night, I just stayed overnight."

With only the two of them left, Chu Yan finally stood up straight and stopped acting like he was "harmless" and "living in a coffin."

Mu Huaian quickly took a look into the shop and saw that there was indeed a coffin, but the lid was not closed.

It was really... difficult for him.

"What is the profound meaning of His Highness's move?" he asked tentatively.

Chu Yan: "The embroidered clothes envoy caught two killers and a buyer who hired murderers in the western suburbs last night. The two killers confessed that a few days ago, the buyer hired them to kill a steward next to Xuanping Hou.

My name is Liu Si."

"Liu Si?" Mu Huaian was shocked, "Isn't this the case at hand?"

He quickly ran through the matter in his mind, "So His Highness came here late at night and dressed up like this to... investigate the case?"

"I'm not interested in your case." Chu Yan said softly: "The Embroidery Envoy wants those two killers. As for the buyer, his name is Feng Qi, he can give it to you to investigate the case. But, in exchange, Gu

There is a condition."

Mu Huaian laughed dryly.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, who would dare to negotiate terms with the embroidered clothes envoy, "If you have anything to do, just give me your orders."

Chu Yan looked at him and said: "Gu wants to know the autopsy results of Yaoniang and Liu Si. When investigating the case, take Gu with you and don't reveal Gu's identity."

Shen Lingxi promised Shen Ji to take Shen Yuyao with him, and he actually took Shen Yuyao with him.

The Kun Dao of Jinxianguan built a water and land dojo, and the Yuchun Troupe set up a stage in the open space outside the village.

The number of people who came to Wangxian Village today was twice that of yesterday, and Shen Ji specially allocated manpower to maintain order.

The money spent was naturally twice as much as yesterday.

Shen Yuyao followed Shen Lingxi and felt dizzy as she watched her allocate personnel expenditures, make abacus and keep accounts, chat and laugh with all the managers, and manage this large task in an orderly manner.

Her mind kept echoing what her father said to her before leaving yesterday:

"...I have revealed your identity to the Holy One. From now on, you and Wu Yatou are twin sisters from the same mother, and both are my biological daughters. Don't have any scruples about your identity."

"The Mu family is the Queen's mother's family. Mu Huaian is young and promising. If you marry him, you will be the only one among the noble daughters of the noble family in the capital. Always remember your identity and don't lower your status in front of others.

Do the work that servants do, you know?"

"No matter how capable a woman is, she is not as good as marrying a good husband. Look at your mother. In the An family, she was just a concubine that everyone looked down upon. Now she is married to her father. Although it is a continuation of her marriage, she also has a decree. She is in charge.

In such a huge Hou family, no one would respectfully call her Madam. When going out to a banquet, except for those relatives of the emperor, who would ever bow to anyone else? This is all because she married a good husband. Listen to daddy and marry Mu Huaian.

Daddy will not harm you."

In a daze, Shen Yuyao saw Mu Huaian, who had a handsome and clear face, walking towards her slowly with a smile on his lips.

The sun shone on his scarlet and gold-embroidered skirt, making his whole person look like the rising sun, shining brightly.

For the first time, Shen Yuyao felt that her heart was beating like a deer...

Before, I was not qualified.

Now, maybe we can really fight hard.

However, the next moment——

"Hey, Shen Lingxi."

Mu Huaian walked straight past her and walked to the desk. He looked at Shen Lingxi with his bright eyes and asked impatiently, "We agreed to investigate the case, how long are you going to make us wait?"
