I've been reborn, who would still raise a son from another family? Go away

He hurriedly looked for Liu Yueru among the crowd.

Only when he saw Liu Yueru's figure clearly in the corner did Xie Jingrui breathe a sigh of relief.

Xie Jingrui raised his voice and asked, "What's going on?"

One of the women pointed inside and said in a trembling voice: "Yes, there are dead people. It's so scary. There are bugs. Ugh..."

As the woman spoke, she couldn't help but began to dry heave.

Xie Jingrui frowned in disdain and stepped back.

He led the group inside.

Liu Yueru pointed to the well and said, "Your Majesty, someone just said there is a ghost in the well."

Xie Jingrui understood and signaled for someone to remove the large rock that was pressing down on the well.

The moment the stone was moved, the foul stench instantly filled the air, and everyone in the yard couldn't help but cover their noses with their hands.

"Your Highness, there is someone inside." The voice of the secret guard sounded.

Xie Jingrui took a closer look and saw a woman floating on the water. Her body had turned pale and rotten from being soaked so much that her original appearance could no longer be seen.

"Salvage the person." Xie Jingrui said in a deep voice.

"Yes." Those people did as they were told, cleaned up the area around the well and laid straw mats.

"There is another one inside." The secret guard pointed to the beam inside Nanxi Hall.

Xie Jingrui stood up and walked towards Nanxi Hall. He looked at the corpse hanging above. There were bugs all over its body and the room was filled with a foul stench.

Xie Jingrui's voice turned colder. "Cha, go call Song Nanzhi and ask him what's going on."

Liu Yueru had appeared beside Xie Jingrui at some point. Looking at the woman hanging from the beam, she always felt that the way the woman hanged herself looked a little strange.

"Your Highness, she doesn't look like she committed suicide by hanging herself." Liu Yueru spoke after glancing at the woman.

"How did you get in? Is this something you can see?" Xie Jingrui ignored Liu Yueru's words, but took big strides and walked towards her side, blocking her view.

"Go wait outside. I'm here. Don't look. You'll have nightmares if you look." Xie Jingrui warned Liu Yueru in a gentle voice.

Liu Yueru put on a smile and said, "I'm not afraid."

Even though Liu Yueru said so, Xie Jingrui still had someone watch Liu Yueru and not let her get any closer.

After the men took the woman down from the beam, they placed her in the courtyard.

The women who had originally scattered came back to their senses at this time and gathered outside the yard, quietly observing the situation inside.

It took a lot of effort for the woman in the water to pull the person out.

However, the woman had been dead for a long time, and her skin and flesh would be broken if she moved at all, and many bugs would run out of her body.

The salvage workers could only pull the woman's skeleton up bit by bit.

Liu Yueru looked at what the woman was wearing and quickly realized that the person was Yuan Qinglian.

It turns out that this was the gift Xie Jingrui said he wanted to give me.

When Yuan Qinglian's body was fished out, it was just pieces of rotten flesh, and the skin and flesh had been rotten beyond recognition as they rubbed against the edge of the well.

The secret guards had to piece her together to make her look a little bit like a human.

Yuan Qinglian's face had been soaked into a pig's head, and bugs ran out of her nostrils from time to time.

Liu Yueru felt a little creepy when she saw it. Although she was not afraid of those things, she did feel inexplicably afraid of insects.

Xie Jingrui also noticed Liu Yueru's expression. He stood in front of her with his tall body, completely blocking her sight, and then he carefully observed the condition of the corpse.

No one knew who the other person was, but there were some whip marks on the woman's festering skin, which should have been caused before her death.

The woman's feet were lying flat and naturally, indicating that she did not feel suffocated before death, otherwise her feet would not be like that.

"Bang!" A loud noise suddenly sounded outside the house.

Song Nan didn't know when he had arrived outside the courtyard of Nanxi Hall.

His eyes fell on the two dead bodies on the ground, and Song Nanzhi's face turned visibly pale.

"This, what is this?" Song Nanzhi asked pretending to be calm.

"How dare you, a man of great courage, to torture and kill a servant in this mansion." Xie Jingrui was the first to speak and shouted.

Song Nanzhi was frightened by Xie Jingrui's voice and knelt on the ground, shaking his head and denying, "Prince, it's not me. I have never done such a thing, and I have no knowledge of it. Someone must have wanted to frame me and dumped the body here. I am innocent."

"Go and bring all the servants from the Marquis' Mansion." Xie Jingrui ignored Song Nanzhi and spoke in a cold voice.

Not long after.

All the servants in the Marquis' Mansion were called over. Anyway, there was only Fusang left in the Mansion, and the other servants were temporarily invited by Song Nanzhi to keep things going.

After asking around, none of them knew the situation. They only said that Song Nanzhi had instructed Nan Xitang not to allow servants like them to come in.

Xie Jingrui cast a stern gaze on Fusang.

"Now we give you a chance to speak up. We will investigate the matter thoroughly. If you don't tell us anything, you will be guilty of harboring a criminal and will be punished together with us."

Fusang was already suffering in the Marquis' Mansion. Seeing so many people here, he glanced at the green bamboo that was covered with insects crawling on it.

Fusang said tremblingly, "My lord, please save me. I will tell you everything. I only ask you to take me away from the mansion."

"The Marquis' Mansion is a place where people are eaten without leaving any bones. Lu Zhu was tortured to death by them." As he said this, Fusang rolled up his sleeves, revealing his hands that were covered with bruises and wounds.

Fusang cried and begged, "The prince sold us to someone else. That person comes every night and blindfolds me. He punishes us with useless things. A few days ago, after Luzhu left, she never came back. They must have tortured Luzhu to death."

When Song Nanzhi heard this, he panicked immediately and shouted at Fusang, "How dare you, a servant, to make up stories about your master? Are you tired of living?"

Fusang's body trembled even more violently when she heard Song Nanzhi's voice. She knelt on the ground and shivered.

Xie Jingrui's aura suddenly cooled down, and he said to Fusang in a soothing tone, "Don't worry, we are all here. If anything happens, we will take care of it for you."

Fuso looked at Song Nanzhi with horror.

She opened her mouth, and just when she was about to continue speaking.

When Princess Anlan learned about this, she rushed out of the bridal chamber.

On the way here, she had already listened to Ah Xiu's general account of the situation. Someone had died in the Marquis' Mansion, and today's incident might not be so easy to resolve.

When she came in, she saw Fusang preparing to speak. Princess Anlan immediately raised her voice and scolded her: "Fusang, you are a maid in my princess mansion. You need to think clearly about what you should and shouldn't say!"

While Xie Anlan was speaking, he did not forget to glance in the direction of the green bamboo.
