Chapter 065: It's Another Me
Shen Lingxi's answer made the chill in Mu Huai'an's eyes lessen slightly.
He was satisfied, "It's enough to have you." Don't worry, I'll tell him word for word. ”
After that, he seemed to suddenly think of something, confessed his guilt, got up and walked to the window, and politely instructed Chu Yan, "I remember, there is an official document on the desk in the study of the mansion, please take it to the yamen for me." ”
This is to ask him to recuse himself.
Chu Yan couldn't see a trace of emotional changes on his face, and his movements were neat and neat, as if he was the most conscientious guard.
It's just that before leaving, his eyes met Mu Huai'an for a moment.
The low coldness in his eyes made Mu Huai'an's pupils tremble unconsciously.
Fortunately, in the next moment, Chu Yan retracted his gaze.
Without squinting, he passed by Shen Lingxi and left the room.
Mu Huai'an stood at the door, watching Chu Yan walk downstairs, his figure was cold and lonely, and he didn't look back and left.
Although things were a little different from what was expected, in the end, it was considered to have achieved the goal.
Now, this one should be completely dead.
It wasn't until Chu Yan's figure disappeared at the door of the inn that Mu Huaian returned to the room.
Shen Lingxi waited patiently for his answer, "Shaoqing has thought about it, when are you going to come to the door to withdraw from your family?"
Mu Huai'an saw that her eyes were full of hope, and the smile on her beautiful and delicate face was a little sweeter than usual.
He felt very uncomfortable in his heart, and lightly hooked his lips, revealing a casual smile.
"When did Ben Shaoqing agree to divorce you?"
Shen Lingxi: "You just ......"
Mu Huai'an: "I have never promised. ”
"My grandmother kept her promise the most, and since she promised your grandmother that she would take care of you, she would keep her word. Whether you want to marry or not, you can't get out of this marriage. ”
Shen Lingxi didn't expect that he would have such an attitude of not getting oil and salt, and a few hints of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Shaoqing's character is valuable, you and I have known each other, and we have always helped each other, so we don't have to come to this point. I've made this family matter clear to you, do you really intend to be a couple with me? She tried to reason with him.
"Whether it's a grudge or not, you have to become a relative to know first."
Mu Huai'an walked in front of her with a light smile, his slender hand, pinched the fan bone, and tapped his palm.
"Even if you and I really become a couple of resentful couples, I Mu Huai'an also wants you Shen Lingxi to be my wife."
"I might as well tell you one more thing, this marriage is no longer something you and I can control."
He looked at her. After learning that he was going to marry her, the joy of longing and anticipation that had been lingering in his eyes had been masked by deeper emotions.
"Before I came to the banquet today, I heard that my grandmother had asked the queen to give you and me a decree to give me a marriage, and I also asked Qin Tian to supervise the auspicious time. In accordance with the will of the ancestors of the Shen family, the two of us married with filial piety, and seven days later will be the auspicious day of your wedding. If you want to retreat from this family matter, either you lose your husband, or I lose my wife, otherwise it is impossible. If you really have the ability to make the queen mother change this will, then I Mu Huai'an has nothing to say. ”
Shen Lingxi: ......

Coming out of the Heming Tower, Shen Lingxi looked calm, as if he was not worried at all, what impact this family affair would have on him.
Alone, she went to a mass grave.
The magpie had no relatives and no reason in the capital, and died of sin, and the body was carried out from the concept of eternal life that day, and after the corpse was examined, it was buried in a mass grave.
A shallow soil pit, a pinch of loess, barely covering the remains.
On the loess, there are also many yellow paper charms painted with cinnabar pressed with stones.
With what the magpie did before his death, he was lucky not to be exposed to the wilderness, and his body was taken away by wild dogs.
Since Shen Lingxi met Magpie, his perception of her has always been more disgusting than compassion.
But what Shen Lingxi didn't expect was that on the second day after the soul of the old ancestor dissipated, the magpie who had disappeared for many days again took the initiative to find her and made a deal with her with the secret of the concept of immortality.
"I heard Liu Si say that as long as the remuneration is appropriate, you will agree to make a deal with the revenant soul and do things for the revenant. I...... There is nothing that can be taken out of their hands, and these days they have been squatting in the concept of immortality and figuring out what they are doing. They have plagued many women, and if you can get rid of them, it will be a great merit. I've gotten acquainted with the secret passages, and the mechanism that holds the secret documents in the main room, and I can show you the way. ”
Shen Lingxi still remembered that she saw a cramped look on the magpie's face for the first time that day, "I just want to ask you to manipulate my corpse and teach Shen Liang a lesson for me, by the way...... Save the life of the emerald kite. ”
"Don't you hate Cui Kite to death, she has such an end, you should be happy, why do you want to save her?" Shen Lingxi asked curiously.
"She's another me." The magpie's face rarely had a sad look of the rabbit and the fox, "I have lost the chance to live, I just hope that after she wakes up, she can have a glimmer of life." Saving her is also saving me in the past. ”
Shen Lingxi complied with her request.
Because the magpie led the way, Shen Lingxi was able to arrange everything in the shortest possible time and perform the great drama of the concept of longevity.
Without the magpie, the emerald kite will continue to be tormented until the moment of its last breath.
Perhaps one day, someone will discover the secret of the concept of immortality.
Maybe it's Shen Lingxi, maybe it's someone else.
It's just not going to be that fast, it's not going to be so thorough.
In the time it goes undetected, there may be more people who have been murdered.
At this moment, Shen Lingxi stood in front of the magpie's grave, looking at her soul shadow that had become more and more faint, and told her about the arrangements reached with Chunjun in the Heming Tower.
At the end, Shen Lingxi said seriously, "These are your merits. ”
The magpie smiled, tears falling from the corners of her eyes.
"Thank you, Shen Lingxi, a person like me who has died innocently can still have such merits, thanks to you."
The magpie walked up to Shen Lingxi and attached it to her ear, "In return, before I leave, I will tell you one more thing......"
The voice grew low and inaudible, and along with her soul, it turned into a small light and disappeared into the sunlight......
*
Early in the morning of the second day, the queen's decree for marriage, and the dowry of the Mu family, were sent to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion at the same time.
The wedding date is set for six days later.
Shen Jidai's daughter took over the decree, and officially exchanged Geng stickers and tokens with the Mu family, and personally led people to Wangxian Village.
This is a marriage set by the ancestor himself before he died, and even the patriarch who protects Shen Lingxi will fully support it.
Shen Ji naturally used the coffin shop and Fu'an Hall as bargaining chips, bluffed and frightened, and forcibly took Shen Lingxi back to the Hou Mansion, and in the name of preparing for marriage, imprisoned her in the Jingsi Courtyard and cut off everyone's visits.
At the same time, the news that Xuanping Hou was going to marry a daughter after more than a month was also spreading in the capital......
