"It's just a dead man, what are you afraid of?"

Li Shiliu, who was already in a bad mood, looked at Tong Wenjie with impatience. She thought that this man was really useless. A mere dead person made him lose his composure like this.

Tong Wenjie looked at Li Shiliu tremblingly and stammered, "I... I'm not afraid!"

Li Shiliu frowned and muttered to herself, "Look at your behavior, it's really embarrassing!"

She said to Tong Wenjie in a bad tone: "If you are really scared, go back to your room and don't make trouble here."

Tong Wenjie was very unhappy after hearing what his wife said, but he still stayed. He thought to himself: "How can I let Li Shiliu look down on me? I must prove that I am not a coward!"

So he bravely asked again: "How about sending someone to take the body out? It's not appropriate to leave it in our yard."

Li Shiliu glanced at Tong Wenjie coldly and said, "You don't have to worry about this. Someone from the Dali Temple will come and take the body for an autopsy.

By the way, since there is a murder case in the mansion, the people from the Dali Temple may come to question someone. You'd better not run around if you have nothing to do these few days. Go sit in the rooms of your concubines more often. The Yueguo Mansion is still waiting for you to have a baby."

After hearing what Li Shiliu said, Tong Wenjie's face instantly turned pale as paper.

He knew that Li Shiliu wanted him to spend more time with the concubines so that the Tong family could have more children. However, he felt as if he was just a reproductive tool.

However, Tong Wenjie did not dare to refute Li Shiliu and could only nod silently to show his agreement.

When Li Shiliu saw Tong Wenjie nod, a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

She thought to herself: "Although this man is useless, he is still obedient." Thinking of this, Li Shiliu felt a little better.

"Princess Sheng'an..."

A cold and deep voice came from not far behind him. It was the Dali Temple Minister Meng Qisui who had finished his questioning.

He stood at the door of the simple side room and looked at Li Shiliu and said, "Princess Sheng'an, this case is of great importance and involves more than one life. I need to bring more people to search for evidence in the mansion."

Li Shiliu nodded slightly and replied calmly, "Master Meng, please do as you wish. Just follow the rules."

She paused and continued, "There is just one more thing. The old lady of the Duke of Yue's mansion is the emperor's grandmother. She is very old, over 80 years old, and has not cared about worldly affairs for many years. She usually just worships Buddha in her own courtyard and prays for the emperor and the Da Chong Dynasty.

Lord Meng is investigating the case in the mansion, just don't disturb the old lady."

Meng Qisui nodded quickly to show that he understood, and responded, "I should be careful not to disturb the old lady in the mansion, but with such a big commotion, I have to ask the princess to report it to the old lady, so that my messengers, who are used to being rude, will not disturb the old lady."

Li Shiliu nodded gently, then looked at Meng Qisui and said, "That's fine.

I will change my clothes and then go to tell the old lady, is Lord Meng willing to go with me?"

Meng Qisui immediately replied: "Please lead the way, Princess Sheng'an. Now that we are at your house, I should pay a visit to the old lady."

So, after half an incense stick of time, Li Shiliu and Meng Qisui, separated by a person's width, went to pay respects to the old lady of the Yueguo Mansion one after the other.
