Hearing this news, several people except Yun Yu all changed their faces.

Shen Lingxi's impression of the ancestor of the Wu Anbo family was still stuck when the ancestor of the Shen family passed away.

At that time, Mrs. Wang told her that she was friends with the ancestors of Wu Anbo's family, and the two often passed on books on flower notes when they were young.

Shen Lingxi also imitated her old man's handwriting and wrote a deed to deceive Shen Liang.

It can be regarded as having some chance with this old ancestor.

Shen Lingxi still remembers that at the funeral of Mrs. Wang, when she saw the old ancestor, her body was still healthy.

Why did he suddenly turn around?

"Who is there to report the funeral? Have you ever said how the ancestors lived? Mu Huaian asked directly.

Qiao Xing: "It's the housekeeper of Wu'anbo Mansion, and I didn't elaborate, I just asked the girl to come to the door and comb the ancestor's makeup." ”

Shen Lingxi's eyes showed a sudden look.

She has done white things for others in the past few years, and she is also well-known in the capital.

Generally, most of the people who came to invite her to the door just after they came to the door were not so dignified.

Shen Lingxi asked Qiao Xing to go back and pack her things first.

She and the others walked back, telling them what they were thinking.

At the end, Shen Lingxi asked curiously: "Is Mu Shaoqing related to the ancestor of the Wu Anbo family?" ”

Mu Huai'an glanced at Chu Yan next to him, "The ancestor of the Wu'an family, surnamed Xie, is the sister of the ancestor of our family, and I want to call her an old man's aunt." ”

"It's also my mother's aunt." Chu Yan also said on the side, "I'll go to their mansion with you to have a look." ”

Shen Lingxi didn't expect that the ancestor of Wu Anbo was actually the Xie family.

The Xie family is one of the most prestigious hairpin families in the Great Zhou, and its power is originally equal to the Dou family.

It's just that since he ascended the throne now, after the first assistant Xie Xun returned to his hometown, the Xie clan gradually faded out of the court and lived in seclusion.

Despite this, the Xie family has many in-laws and is also extremely influential in the court.

When Chu Yan and Mu Huai'an heard the bad news, their expressions were very solemn, which showed that this old ancestor's status in the Xie family was extraordinary.

With this relationship, Shen Lingxi returned to Fu'an Hall, saw the housekeeper of Wu'anbo Mansion, didn't ask much, took the packed things from Qiao Xing's hand, and got into the carriage.

In the past few days, Yun Yu has been in and out of Fu'an Hall, wearing coarse cloth and straight clothes, dressed as a man, and simply followed Shen Lingxi to go together.

Since Chu Yan said that he wanted to go, Mu Huai'an naturally wanted to go with him.

So, the housekeeper of Wu Anbo's Mansion just asked Shen Lingxi to come to the door to bury the corpse of the ancestor, but he didn't expect to give two big Buddhas to follow, and he was so shocked that his eyes were about to fall, and he hurriedly went back to the house to report the news.

Shen Lingxi sat in the carriage and was not idle.

She was familiar with Chunjun, so she directly inquired about the situation in Wu'anbo Mansion with Chunjun through the car curtain.

Chunjun is an embroidered messenger, and he knows the situation of each house in the capital well, and tells the story:

"The Su family is in Anhua Lane, the city, is the title earned by the ancestors of the military, the old Wu Anbo died six years ago, and the current Wu Anbo Su Wei is the eldest son in the family, with two sons under his knees. The father and son are stationed in Tongwu Pass in the west all the year round, and there are only women and children in the capital, and the ninth master Su Xian. ”

"The ninth master is the old son of the ancestor of the Wu'an Bo family, twenty-six or seventeen years old, looks like a talent, has been smart since childhood, can recite poetry at the age of three, and has been praised by the emperor at the age of seven. But then I got sick and fell to the root of the disease, so I rarely appeared in front of people. ”

Chunjun mentioned this Su Xian, and it was difficult to hide regret in his tone.

Mu Huai'an, who was on the side, heard Su Xian's name, as if he thought of something, and a smile curled up at the corner of his lips.

On the contrary, it was Chu Yan who frowned invisibly, as if he had some prejudice against this person.

Shen Lingxi didn't care much about this Su Jiu master.

In the history books, there are more prodigies like Su Xian.

In the end, there are very few people who really become the pillars of the country, and it is not unusual.

The carriage arrived at Wu Anbo Mansion in Anhua Lane, and it was almost dusk.

A white lantern has been hung in front of the Bofu.

Mrs. Wu Anbo, Zeng, about thirty-seven or eighteen years old, was very thin, dressed in a decrepit suit, with the daughters of the family, and waited at the door with a sad expression.

The four of them greeted the Zeng family, Chu Yan and Mu Huai'an were polite, and on the grounds of condolences, they went to the agarwood courtyard where the ancestors stopped with the Su family.

Agarwood Courtyard is the courtyard where Wu Anbo's ancestors lived during his lifetime.

As soon as you enter the courtyard, you feel that the layout is different from that of an ordinary courtyard.

The courtyard is very open and empty, except for a few clumps of green bamboo planted on the wall, there is no side decoration.

In the open space on one side, a fine iron weapon rack was cast, and there were many light weapons on the shelf, which were used by women at a glance.

It seems that this old ancestor of Wu Anbo had the demeanor of a military general during his lifetime, and he would dance with knives and guns in his spare time, which was not like an ordinary woman from a prestigious family.

Shen Lingxi followed them into the upper room, and when he looked into the eyes, he saw a corpse covered with a white cloth, resting on the newly placed spiritual bed in the middle of the room.

The body was covered with a white cloth, so that it was impossible to see what was inside.

Despite this, Shen Lingxi still found a soul figure sitting upright on the chair in the room.

The soul shadow was about the age of the sixtieth year, and his expression was a little trance. Although the person is sitting, his body is straight, and his body is very strong.

It's just that there is a bloody hole on her forehead, and on her exposed skin, you can see bloody scratches, and the clothes she wears also have a lot of mottled blood stains, which should have fallen from a height and died.

Shen Lingxi subconsciously reached out and grabbed Chu Yan's sleeve to prevent him from going to the side of the spirit bed again.

Although this action is small, it looks very abrupt among the solemn people, attracting everyone's sideways.

Mu Huai'an frowned.

And Yun Yu next to him, a look of surprise flashed in his beautiful eyes.

Chu Yan subconsciously stopped.

He remembered that Shen Lingxi had said that the evil qi around him could bounce away the souls of the dead.

Presumably, this girl has seen the soul of her ancestor.

Shen Lingxi saw him pause, his heart was slightly relieved, and then he realized that Fang Cai's actions were out of proportion.

She hurriedly let go of her hand, and racked her brains to make up for it under the inquiring eyes of everyone: "Your Highness, the little girl has seen the old ancestor at her grandmother's funeral before, and she knows that her old man is a clean person. It's better to let the little girl freshen up for the ancestors, and you can come to mourn again. ”

Now everyone in the capital knows that Shen Lingxi is the concubine of the Marquis of Xuanping, and this statement can barely fool the past.

Everyone silently withdrew their gaze.

"It's fine."

Chu Yan obeyed the words, put his hands behind his back with a calm expression, and no longer walked in, just looked at Mrs. Zeng on the side, and asked, "I remember that the old lady has always had a good body, how could she suddenly turn over?" Have you ever reported to the official and found a person to conduct an autopsy? ”
