On the second day, Shangguan Qingge originally wanted to wait for Shao Yuan to come first, but after waiting for a whole morning, Shao Yuan still didn't come, so she thought about going to Zhenbei Marquis Mansion first. He had been back for such a long time and was busy with his own affairs. He hadn't gone to see his grandmother and the others yet. He guessed that his third aunt's belly had gotten a little bigger.

Shangguan Qingge instructed Dong'er to catch an old hen and some eggs from their own family, and go to the Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion today to check on her third aunt.

One of them carried the chicken and the other carried the eggs, and they went out in a hurry.

When I arrived at Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, I found Bei Yunchen was also there.

"Hey, you're here too! What a coincidence!"

Bei Yunchen ignored her, and everyone in Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion was also very surprised. Shangguan Qingge handed the chicken and eggs in her hand to Xiao Si and sat down. The people in Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion looked at each other, as if they had something to say, but swallowed it back.

"Grandpa and grandma, are you hiding something from me?"

Marquis Zhenbei and his wife looked at each other, and his uncle, aunt, and cousins ​​beside them did not dare to speak.

The old lady sighed.

"Ge'er, grandma has something to tell you, don't be anxious!" The old lady's voice was a little choked.

"Oh, please tell me, I'm so anxious!"

"Clean him... him..."

"What happened to my brother?"

The people of Zhenbei Hou still didn't have the courage to speak out, but Bei Yunchen took over the conversation!

"Shangguan Qingqian is dead!"

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

Bei Yunchen didn't say anything, but asked someone to carry the coffin over.

Shangguan Qingge looked at everyone in a daze. Bei Yunchen had no expression, but the expressions of Zhenbeihou's family were not right. She walked to the coffin and opened it. She saw that the body inside had rotted away and only bones were left. The only thing that could be identified was the clothes. The color of the clothes was green, and it was the same one her brother wore before leaving home.

"This... How can this prove that this is my eldest brother? Grandma, Grandpa, my eldest brother must not have been found yet, don't you think?"

Shangguan Qingge's voice began to tremble. This was the original owner's instinctive emotions taking over, and Shangguan Qingge had no way of controlling it.

The wife of Marquis Zhenbei took out something wrapped in a handkerchief from her bosom. When she opened it, she found it was a small longevity lock, about the size of a thumb.

“This longevity lock was made by your grandfather for your brother when he was a child. Your brother has been wearing it for so many years. It was taken from the corpse. Ge'er, this is your brother!” The old lady burst into tears. She finally found her grandson, but there were only bones left!

When Shangguan Qingge heard this, she fainted and was about to fall to the ground. Bei Yunchen quickly took her into his arms.

"Qingge, Qingge!" Bei Yunchen pinched her philtrum, but Shangguan Qingge did not react.

Bei Yunchen carried Shangguan Qingge to the couch. Everyone stayed with her. The court doctor gave her an injection to stimulate her to wake up quickly.

A quarter of an hour later, Shangguan Qingge, who was lying on the bed, woke up slowly. When she opened her eyes, she saw a group of people around her. Bei Yunchen, who was sitting beside the bed, looked very worried.

"Grandpa, can you guys go out for a while? I want to talk to Bei Yunchen!"

The people of Zhenbei Hou looked at Shangguan Qingge lying on the bed, looking like she had lost her soul, and left. Soon, only Bei Yunchen and Shangguan Qingge were left in the room.

"Where did you find my eldest brother's bones?" Shangguan Qingge said coldly.

"Under a cliff in the south!"

"Besides this skeleton, what else is there around?"

"There is also a carriage with the remains of several people inside. They must have died after falling off a cliff. The clothes worn by the other remains... appear to be those of General Zhunan's men."

"How did you know?"

"I have a secret contact in the general's army stationed in the south, so I know how they dress!"

"What would happen to me if I killed Shangguan Jin's family?"

Bei Yunchen looked at Shangguan Qingge's cold face and cold eyes, thought for a while and said.

"According to the laws of Beiyi Country, anyone who kills an official appointed by the imperial court will be punished by being lingchi (death by a thousand cuts) if caught!"

"Oh~ Ling Chi. You know I have the ability to kill them quietly, and you can't find me."

"I know, but don't you think this is too easy for them?"

"What do you think, Your Highness?"

"To kill someone... you must first destroy their heart!"

When Shangguan Qingge heard this, she turned around and looked at Bei Yunchen.

"Thank you, my lord. I understand!"

Shangguan Qingge got up and went out. The people of Zhenbei Hou were waiting at the door. Shangguan Qingge took a deep breath and his eyes were red.

"Grandpa, there's a funeral going on in the mansion. Shouldn't Shangguan Jin... cry a little?"

Today, everything needed for a funeral was hung up in the Zhenbei Marquis's mansion. A huge flower was hung on the plaque. Shangguan Qingge wore mourning clothes. Shangguan Qingqian's spirit tablet had been prepared. Because Shangguan Qingge was Shangguan Qingqian's younger sister, the Zhenbei Marquis insisted that Shangguan Qingge hold the spirit tablet.

Shangguan Qingge requested that her brother's coffin be placed in the Shangguan family, because her mother's tablet was there and her body was in the Shangguan family's ancestral tomb. She wanted to bury her brother close to her mother, so she had to go back.

Shangguan Qingge walked numbly in front, holding his brother's spirit tablet in his hand, followed by his brother's coffin. The people of Zhenbei Hou were wearing mourning clothes, scattering paper money, and walking towards Shangguan's house.

When they arrived at the gate of the Shangshu Mansion, the Xiao Si at the door saw this scene. One of them ran in to inform the owner inside, while the people of Zhenbei Hou directly pushed open the door and put the coffin inside.

Shangguan Qingge knelt in front of the coffin and burned paper money, and the people from the Shangguan family came out cursing.

"Shangguan Qingge, you evil girl, what are you trying to do?" Shangguan Jin cursed as he came out. Xiao Si, who went to report, told him that the eldest daughter came in mourning clothes, a mourning scarf on her head, and brought a coffin. This made Shangguan Jin very angry. The family was all fine, but this evil girl brought a coffin. Isn't this bad luck?

Bei Yunchen was sitting on a chair beside him, and he was still wearing his original clothes. Shangguan Jin saw that it was His Royal Highness the King, and stepped forward to salute.

"So it's His Royal Highness the King who has come to visit. I'm sorry for my poor hospitality and for making a fool of myself."

"I am here to attend a funeral, but I am not in the mood to watch a joke." Bei Yunchen said calmly.

"This... No one has died in the palace. Your Majesty, please don't make trouble with my daughter."

"Really? Lord Shangshu, why don't you take a look at whose name is on the spirit tablet?"

After Bei Yunchen said this, Shangguan Jin remembered this matter. He turned around and saw that the words "Shangguan Qingqian's Position" were written in large letters on the spirit tablet.

Shangguan Jin was so stunned that he couldn't speak.

"Sir Shangguan, your son's remains were found by my men at the foot of a cliff in the south. Only bones were left when they were found. The remains have been identified by the people of Zhenbei Marquis and are indeed your son's. Sir Shangguan, I mourn for you."

Upon hearing this, Madam Shangguan had fainted. Fortunately, Liu and Shangguan Qingyun were there to support her and prevent her from falling to the ground. Aunt Lin and Shangguan Qingxue went to Shangguan Qingge's side, crying inconsolably!

Shangguan Jin had already fallen to the ground, staring blankly at the coffin, unable to believe that his legitimate son was inside.
