Chapter Twenty-Three: The Corpse

"Yes, Miss I'm afraid I don't even know it, your face is full of unhappy words."

"I don't know, but I know you're a kid and a joker."

Bai Wanrou and the two of them were laughing and playing, looking a little better than the relationship between the master and servant of ordinary people.

"Wanrou?"

Before she could react, a voice suddenly appeared behind her calling for her.

Bai Wanrou froze in place for a moment, she was sure that she had heard correctly, that person was calling her name.

Could it be that there is someone in this market with the same name?

It was also unlikely, for she heard the man's voice noticeably become a little quicker, and more likely to move closer to her side.

Until there was a person standing in front of her, the man showed surprise on his face and said: "Wanrou, sure enough, it's you, I thought I was wrong." ”

Bai Wanrou's eyelids jumped, as the daughter of a senior official, it was impossible for her not to have seen the prince.

But that's strange to say.

On weekdays, they rarely see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Today I want to find out what is related to him, and he has come out in time.

Bai Wanrou couldn't figure out what was in it, so she only answered obediently, "I've seen His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"Why do we need to be so polite between the two of us?"

He helped Bai Wanrou up, and the moment her skin touched, she shrank back.

When the prince saw such a scene in front of him, a dark color crossed his eyes, but he didn't say anything, but still said enthusiastically: "Actually, after you married the prince of Jian'an, I always felt a little regretful in my heart. ”

Bai Wanrou realized that he might not say anything good next, but she could only ask with a smile, "Why did the prince say this?" ”

"Do you think, the prince of Jian'an married the concubine with great fanfare the next day after marrying you, and he is very good to this concubine, and even wants to replace you, how can he be worthy of you!"

How could he have known so clearly?

Bai Wanrou's first reaction was like this.

She knew in her heart that nine times out of ten, her father had revealed all this news to him.

But what is the purpose?

There is nothing worth coveting about their relationship with Chen Ruzhi.

Wait a minute...... Wrong!

If he remembers correctly, he just said the prince of Jian'an, right?

Don't...... What they want has always been the power in the hands of Chen Ru?

Bai Wanrou's face changed greatly, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was in front of her, she couldn't go over directly, and she was embarrassed to find a reason to leave.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is too worried, the prince treats me very well, he will remember the food I like on weekdays, and he will also take me around and relax."

"I want to ask you a question, what do you think about the recent incident with Du Mingjuan?"

The prince's face had stiffened a little since she said the word Du Mingjuan, but he concealed it very well, and it was fleeting.

He waved his hand, pretending to be helpless.

"That's how it is in a high position, there are always people who want to harm me, just take this Du Mingjuan as an example, I was blind at that time to fall in love with this kind of person."

"I don't know why it's rumored that I killed her, it's ridiculous, ridiculous!"

After Bai Wanrou heard his words, she already had her own judgment in her heart.

He said that someone wanted to slander him, so he spread rumors.

But it didn't seem to her that way at all.

But thinking of her father, she finally hesitated and didn't say much.

On the contrary, the prince did not shout to sow discord after her question, but deliberately wanted to escape.

"Wanrou, I still have something to do today, so I won't chat with you, you are so good to go shopping, I will leave first, and we will meet again!"

He walked as he spoke, but this appearance made people look at it, and after all, he looked a little weak.

After he walked away, Bai Wanrou took Qingtang and continued to walk on the way home.

"Miss, what do you think about what he just said?"

Seeing that Bai Wanrou was absent-minded, Qingtang asked.

I saw her frowning, probably because she was also entangled in her heart, "I always feel ...... The prince is still weak-hearted, otherwise what did he just run? ”

"Hey, if you want me to say, it's useless for you to guess like this, Miss, it's better to ask the master directly."

Bai Wanrou turned her head to look over and saw that her face was full of innocence, but her heart was like a turbulent wave.

Ask her father directly, of course she thought about it, but how could she do it?

"Well, you go with me to a place."

Qingtang was a little puzzled, but knew that she would not answer the question she asked, so she simply followed behind Bai Wanrou.

"Miss, what are we doing in Dali Temple?"

After seeing that she was going around and around, she stopped in front of Dali Temple, and Qingtang finally couldn't help but speak.

"I want to go in and see the corpse of the farmer's daughter."

Hearing this, Qingtang couldn't pretend to be calm and calm anymore, and exclaimed: "Miss, I'm afraid I can't get in, right?" ”

Sure enough, they were stopped before they could reach the door.

It seems that this is indeed not an easy task.

But Bai Wanrou would not choose to give up easily, she thought about it, if it was not possible to go through the main gate, then they would find another way.

Bai Wanrou took Qingtang to the side of Dali Temple and sneaked in with others.

"Miss, which room should we go to now?"

"This ...... Actually, I don't know, so let's look around. ”

Bai Wanrou really didn't know, she walked around the Dali Temple, the room was too many and too dense, she couldn't tell where she could see the corpse of the farmer's daughter.

"Miss, there are patrolling soldiers there!"

Qingtang looked around at the sudden appearance of an outsider, and felt bad in his heart, and his first reaction was to inform Bai Wanrou.

The latter obviously didn't expect to be caught red-handed, and immediately squatted down.

"Qingtang, you can be quiet later, if you are really caught, don't panic, just say that we have entered here by mistake."

Qingtang nodded, and Bai Wanrou also lightened her breathing.

"Eh, who is that, stop me!"

I don't know where the person suddenly rushed out, only to hear the soldier shout, and then out of the gate of Dali Temple.

Qingtang saw it from the crack and couldn't help but be a little happy.

"Miss, he's gone!"

Bai Wanrou also hurriedly came out of the corner where she was hiding.

She took Qingtang to continue the search, and finally found the body of the farmer's daughter in a dark room.

At first, she didn't believe it, but when she entered the room and saw the corpse that had died horribly, she had to believe it.

Qingtang followed behind her and lit the candles in the room, adding a faint light.

Bai Wanrou continued to inspect the corpse, which clearly showed signs of abuse and struggle.

Even if she hadn't deliberately delved into this aspect, it was easy to see.

It seems that this matter is far from being as simple as I imagined.

"Oh my God, this is too miserable, what a terrible torture you have to go through before you die......"

Qingtang followed over and saw the scene in front of him, and the whole person was stunned.

She was not as prepared as Bai Wanrou, and she didn't expect that she would one day witness the corpse of a dead man.

"Qingtang, let's go."

Bai Wanrou put the cloth back on and took Qingtang out of Dali Temple.

"Qingtang, you go to the Hou Mansion to invite my brother, he should have time to come out at this time."

"Okay, Miss, I'll go."

Dali Temple is not far from the Hou Mansion, and it is a little bit ahead, and Qingtang is trotting all the way over, and soon brings people back.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing Bai Wanrou standing on the street corner in despair, Bai Qingting's first reaction was that Chen Ruzhi's bastard bullied his sister again.

There was distress in his eyes, and his expression became a little nervous.

Seeing this, Bai Wanrou knew that he had taken the bait, even though she felt guilty in her heart, she still had to coax Bai Qingting with this attitude.

"Brother, I'm fine, don't be so alarmed."

"How is it possible, you are sitting in the position of the princess now, how can I not be frightened?"

Bai Qingting's face became stinky, probably because he was not in a very good mood when he mentioned Chen Ruzhi.

Qingtang behind him saw that the two of them were chatting happily, and as a subordinate, he didn't listen to his master much, so he consciously stood to the side.

"Brother, it's really okay, you don't have to be like this, Lord Wang...... Actually, it didn't do much to me. ”

Although Bai Wanrou said this, her face was still not good, and there was still a teardrop in the corner of her eye, and she held her posture very steadily.

"I see, it's Chen Ruzhi's dog, my sister was a lively little girl before marrying him, but now her face is full of vicissitudes, what does he have to pay for this good youth?!"

Bai Qingting was a little excited, and a few people on the street poked their heads over to look here.

Although they were all blocked by Qingtang, this did not reduce their curiosity in the slightest.

What Bai Wanrou didn't know was that at this time, not far behind her, Chen Ruzhi was listening to the conversation between the two of them.

When he heard Bai Qingting's words, his expression moved slightly, and he glanced over here, but there was no next move.

It's just that a certain string in my heart was suddenly touched, and the eyes that looked at Bai Wanrou were a little different.

"Brother, you are too exaggerated, I just don't get his favor on weekdays, but my position as princess is still there, you can rest assured."

Seeing that Bai Wanrou was clearly injured, but still pretending to be strong, and even turned around to comfort him, Bai Qingting suddenly choked up.

"You have been the pearl of our father and son in our hands since you were a child, when have you been treated like this?"

"Then, if I want to go home now, is my brother still willing to take me back?"

Hearing this, Chen Ruzhi, who was hiding in the shadows, immediately raised his head.

What does she mean by that? Is it agreeing to reconcile with oneself?

For some reason, his heart, which should have been happy, seemed to be clutched by a big hand, and it took a long time to let go.

"Naturally, I am willing, the door of our Hou Mansion will always be open for you, and I will take you home now!"

Bai Qingting obviously misunderstood, the whole person was like a naughty child, and he would hold Bai Wanrou's hand and not let go.

"Brother, you misunderstood, I meant to go home and have a look, but I'm worried about causing some trouble to my father......"

"By the way, brother, can you tell me about my father's whereabouts recently?"
