Naturally, Liu Si was also among those returning home with Mr. Shen Er.

"... I specially inquired about the girl's whereabouts in the house these days, and went to the bank specifically to exchange the gold coins and put them in my purse..."

Shen Lingxi weighed the gold coins in her purse and smiled.

Are you planning to bribe her? I'm afraid it's not that simple.

Liu Si continued: "I also asked people to buy knick-knacks for the maids and mothers in Songzhuyuan. The share given to Miss Cuiyuan included an extra beaded flower."

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

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

"It's much more luxurious than this. It's worth more than ten taels of silver." Liu Si said very enthusiastically, "The tassel on the hairpin is so bright red."

Shen Lingxi clicked her tongue in admiration, "The flowering of a hundred seeds means it's really good. Are you proposing marriage? Or adding makeup? If it's proposing marriage, then love is stronger than gold."

These four words, "Love is stronger than gold," made the magpie stagger back two steps, and the butterfly-like pearl hairpin in its hair trembled and flapped its wings.

But then, Magpie suddenly wanted to understand something. He stood up straight and raised his chin, "Shen Lingxi, I know what your intention is. You want to drive a wedge between me and the good man. You have a good idea. I am already dead. Is it possible? Do I still expect a good man to stay married for the rest of my life? He is a man who wants to achieve great things, and he is indispensable for his helpers. Even if he gives Cui Yuan something, it is just to win her over to do things. He and I have a real friendship. "

Your brain is truly 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 that my ancestor has been using for more than a month. Cui Yuan said that Aunt Zhao mixed it for her ancestor. Do you know this?" thing?"

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

Magpie looked away, obviously not intending to answer.

Liu Si noticed something was wrong, "Girl, this, this hair is oily..."

"The smell doesn't sound right. I have to find a reliable doctor to check exactly what is in it. The ancestor's illness is most likely related to the stuff here." Shen Lingxi answered truthfully.

Liu Si was shocked, "Then my mother-in-law, will they regard me as a murderer?"

Shen Lingxi nodded.

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

Why did he say to her, "If you hadn't been nosy...I wouldn't have wasted my life...".

If Shen Lingxi had not taken out Liu Si's body, the government might have hastily labeled Liu Si a "suicide."

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

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

With the couple taking the blame, as long as Shen Liang doesn't want Magpie to die, Magpie can get away.

However, because of Shen Lingxi's intervention, all their original plans were disrupted.

Liu Si's death was discovered in advance, alarming the Dali Temple. Shen Liang could only let Magpie commit suicide in fear of crime, and then killed Zhao Afeng before he died. In this way, 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 his mother, who loved him and trusted him, have to die?

Shen Lingxi couldn't understand.

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

Liu Si looked calmer and shook his head, "I have never seen the second master take out the embroidered handkerchief in the past few days, nor have I heard him mention it. But when he returned home today, he wanted to go to the front yard study first to find the Marquis. The Marquis has not yet gone to court, so he went to Songzhuyuan. The Marquis always listens to his words the most, if..."

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

Shen Lingxi looked up and saw her half-way father, who had no time to change out of his court uniform, walked in in a hurry.

This was the first time Shen Ji came to the Jingsi Institute. When he saw Shen Lingxi, he came up with a lesson: "Your grandmother is still ill. Even if she asks you to take care of some things, don't take it too seriously. You must remember one sentence." 'Everything goes well with the family', the magpie is already dead, what should be hers and what shouldn't be hers are all put on her head, and this matter is over, do you understand?"

The so-called "harmony in the home and everything prospering" means "harmony in the mud".

Very interesting-——

The biggest suspect, Erfang, acted like "it's none of his business, just hang it up high".

But Shen Ji, the head of the dignified family, rushed up to make peace with Xini.

If Shen Lingxi hadn't been able to see the souls of the dead, he would have been led into the ditch by this half-way father's jumping-up-and-down attitude, thinking that he was the instigator behind the scenes.

It was related to the safety of the Xuanping Hou Mansion, and Shen Lingxi did not hesitate to tell him, "Mu Huaian said that although the magpie died, Dali Temple would not close the case hastily. The body of Liu Si was found to have Qianjinxiang. A few days ago, Aunt Zhao was in Fu'an Tang was assassinated by a man in black, and it was finally found out that the man in black was from Yin Yue Pavilion. The Embroidered Clothes Envoy also knew about this matter. Dad, do you think this matter can be easily resolved?"

Shen Ji's expression changed drastically.

"Check! We must check! We must check carefully!"

But in the blink of an eye, he asked her quietly again, "Has Mu Shaoqing told you the truth? How far will the investigation go before the case can be closed?"

Still want to make peace with each other.

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

Shen Lingxi lowered her eyes slightly, pretending to be ignorant, and said vaguely: "I only heard Mu Shaoqing mention the word 'embroidered handkerchief', but I don't know more about it."

"Embroidered handkerchief? What embroidered handkerchief?" Shen Ji's eyes widened, and the look of confusion on his face didn't seem like he was faking it.

"It seems that there was an embroidered handkerchief in the ancestor's warehouse that was secretly exchanged." Shen Lingxi pointed out to him the record of "Silk Pine and Crane Fan" in the warehouse catalog, "It was because of this that Liu Si It could lead to death. The embroidered clothes messenger happened to be checking the embroidered handkerchief, and he might come to search the house one day."

When Shen Ji heard this, his eyebrows furrowed, and he asked her to report the latest progress to him every day, and left in a hurry.

Magpie was already numb to her tricks, "You are only good at deceiving people. A good man will not be easily fooled by you like me."

"Oh? Really?" Shen Lingxi looked at her with a smile, "If my guess is correct, Shen Ji will go to find him now. Then I hope he can sit still as you said, otherwise But I’m about to catch you by the tail.”

Seeing her like this, Magpie felt unsure, stopped staring at her, and hurriedly ran to the second master Shen Liang.

Shen Lingxi pondered for a few moments, wrote a letter, and handed it to the secret guard that Mu Huaian gave her along with the bottle of hair oil. "Please give this letter to Mu Shaoqing. He will be required to come to the house tomorrow." Here, make a play with me."

Although Chu Yan used the hot spring water to wash away the blood on his body that day, it still triggered the knot in his childhood. That night, he suffered from nightmares and a headache. It took him a few days to recover.

When Mu Huaian received the letter from the secret guard, he was visiting the patient in Prince Ning's Mansion...
