Liu Bu stared into the maid's eyes, full of pressure: "Since you know so many things, why are you fine?"

How could a person who knew so many secrets and was just a powerless maid survive to the end?

The maid wiped away her tears: "My aunt returned the deed of sale to the slave out of consideration for being a minor servant, and also gave the slave some money. She promised the slave early that she would definitely leave the Marquis's Mansion and live her own life. "

The maid knelt down and burst into tears: "I just can't bear to see my aunt suffer such a serious infamy after she dies. It's obviously not her fault. My aunt's life has been too miserable. I beg Master Qingtian to give my aunt justice." .”

After saying that, the maid kowtowed three times in a row.

Just then someone shouted: "Princess Li has arrived, Madam Bai has arrived."

Everyone turned to look at the door and saw Bai Yuanhua and Wu Juan supporting Li Qingluo as they walked in.

Bai Yuanhua caught sight of the kneeling maid at the first sight. Their eyes met and soon they looked away. Bai Yuanhua continued to walk inside.

When she came, Bai Yuanhua picked out some of the things that happened yesterday and told her to her mother-in-law, and the two of them roughly guessed what would happen.

However, when the two mother and daughter looked at the ruins of the Jingguo Hou Mansion, the servants kneeling on the ground, and the charred corpses covered with white cloths lying on the ground, they were still stunned in shock.

I always thought that seeing a few corpses would be overwhelming, but I didn't expect the situation to be so serious.

Li Qingluo looked at all this with blank eyes, as if she had lost all her vitality.

Damn Lin Xiuyun, if you want to kill that ungrateful man, you can just stab him in with one knife. If you can't stab him ten times, or even cut him into pieces with a thousand knives, why set fire to him?

The mansion where I have lived for more than ten years, the garden that I carefully arranged, my family property, are gone, all gone...

Now I don't know how much silver it will cost and how much time it will take to repair it before it can be inhabited.

She seemed to see that the dowry, which she had finally recovered with great difficulty, was about to be spent like water.

Her lips were trembling slightly, and she wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say. Her eyes were scarlet and tears were falling. Her body shook involuntarily, as if she would fall down at any time.

Bai Yuanhua quickly stretched out her hand to support her: "Mom, how are you? You have to express your condolences..."

The onlookers couldn't help but sigh, Marquis Jingguo treated her like this, but they didn't expect Mrs. Marquis Jingguo to be so affectionate.

Li Qingluo took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

She took two steps forward, pointed to the row of corpses covered with white cloth in front of her, and asked Liu Bu: "Master Liu, which one is him?"

Liu Bu naturally knew who she was asking, but he just felt that Mrs. Marquis Jingguo was too kind. This Bai Yanshu had already made her a joke in the entire Jinling City, and she was still so sad for him.

"Mrs. Bai, please come this way."

Liu Bu brought Li Qingluo to Bai Yanshu's body: "A total of three corpses, one man, two women, were found in Mr. Hou's room. This is the male body. There is the inscription of Mr. Bai on the body. It must be that of Mr. Hou. There is no doubt about it, Mrs. Bai, please have my condolences."

Li Qingluo just stood there, not stepping forward to lift the white cloth and take a look at what kind of corpse was under the white cloth, or whether it was Bai Yanshu's corpse.

She just watched expressionlessly, motionless, not knowing what she was thinking.

Everyone thought that she must be sad about Bai Yanshu's death and what Bai Yanshu had done, including Bai Yunhua.

After all, Bai Yunhua has seen her mother-in-law obey Bai Yanshu's advice in the past and dare not say anything else.

No matter how disappointed A Niang is with Bai Yanshu, she still has some feelings for her. After all, they have been a couple for more than ten years.

Therefore, at the beginning, she felt that after getting everything back, she could leave Bai Yan Shudu in the Jingguo Marquis' Mansion and live with her mother-in-law.

No matter what happened before, now that Bai Yanshu is dead, and the light is extinguished after death, even if A Niang still has feelings for Bai Yanshu, it will be okay.

As time goes by, it will always fade away.

She was about to step forward to give him a few words of persuasion.

Li Qingluo turned around and asked Liu Bu seriously: "Master Liu, if I throw all three of them into the back mountain to feed the wolves, will they be fine?"

When everyone present heard this, their eyes widened, and then they took a breath.

It took Liu Bu a moment to react. He wiped his sweat in the middle of the winter and said somewhat sarcastically: "Although this does not violate the laws of the Yuan Dynasty, it is still against morality and will be offended. People will die." Just like the lights go out and the past has disappeared, Mrs. Bai still has to look forward."

He lowered his voice: "If you really hate him so much, the most you can do is not burn incense for him during the Qingming Festival and Double Ninth Festival. It's really not worth the infamy for him."

Seeing that Li Qingluo was his good friend's sister and that he had watched her grow up, Liu Bu persuaded her very earnestly.

"Your Majesty, what you said makes sense." Li Qingluo looked a little unwilling to accept it. "It's really troublesome for Master Liu to encounter such a thing during the Chinese New Year. Let's stop here. No need to investigate. Leave the rest to me. But, let’s all go back and celebrate the New Year.”

No matter what, Bai Yanshu was also a former official, but now he died unexpectedly, and he had a close relationship with a member of the Huxuan Division. He had to find out what he had reported to the Holy Master.

Liu Bu wanted to say something else, but was stopped by someone: "Master Liu."

Everyone turned to look and saw Mu Yu pushing Gong Chenyuan through the door and not stopping until he was beside Bai Yunhua.

Bai Yuanhua quickly squatted down and pulled the blanket around his legs: "Why are you here?"

"Don't worry, let me take a look." Gong Chenyuan smiled at her.

Bai Yuanhua was about to say something, but was interrupted by everyone's salutes: "Greetings to His Highness Prince Li."

"No need to be polite." Gong Chenyuan told Liu Bu: "Master Liu, just listen to your mother-in-law."

Liu Bu turned around and glanced at the long row of corpses, which were so burnt that they could not distinguish their true appearance.

If what Lin Xiuyun's maid said is true, then the whole story is barely clear, and the people from Huxuansi who came with them didn't raise any objections. It was obvious that they also knew what happened between You Jinniang and Bai Yanshu.

After thinking for a while, he cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, but..."

He pointed to the corpses of Lin Xiuyun's maid and You Jinniang: "I have to take this maid and that corpse back."

Gong Chenyuan did not answer immediately, but turned to look at Bai Yuanhua.

Bai Yunhua naturally knew why Liu Bu took away You Jinniang's body. After all, it was related to Huxuansi, and the person who died was an official of the dynasty. Liu Bu had to give something to the emperor before he could deliver the mission. She was not worried about what Liu Bu could find out. Come.

She turned to look at her mother-in-law, and when she saw her mother-in-law nodding, she also nodded towards Gong Chenyuan.

After receiving his princess's approval, Gong Chenyuan nodded lightly to Liu Bu.

Liu Bu was stunned for a moment by Prince Li's obedience to his wife's orders. He then said a few words to Bai Yuanhua and Li Qingluo: "I'm sorry and accept the change. The dead are gone, but the living are like this." Then he ordered people to Prepare to take the body away.

The officers and soldiers lifted You Jinniang's body, and her burnt black hands were exposed from under the white cloth.

Looking at the charcoal-like arm, Bai Yuanhua suddenly thought of something and whispered: "Wait."
