The whole family wears it! Roll it up together! The envy of all the rich in Beijing

"Who died in the old house?"

When Hong Tianqiao came back and saw the carriage from Prince Qi's mansion had just left, he thought Nan Sheng had gone home, so he didn't ask.

She was wondering all the way who had died in the old house, and she didn't know who the servant who went to call her was.

"The Liu family."

Bai Jintong said as she leaned closer to her mother and whispered, "The death of Liu was strange. Tongzi issued a mission to reveal the murderer."

Only Bai Jintong and her mother could hear the last two sentences she said.

Hong Wenchu ​​who was standing next to him didn't hear what was said at all.

But she did not ask. That was a matter concerning the old residence of the Bai family. After all, it was her uncle's former home. She knew that every family had some secrets that could not be told to outsiders.

Hong Tianqiao was already very surprised when he heard that Liu had died, and when he heard his daughter talk about the task issued by the system, his mouth opened into an O shape.

"This, this, this... Go to the Dali Temple and inform Fu Fengyuan that someone has died in the old house."

Hong Tianqiao thought for a moment and felt that if she let her daughter do it alone, it would not be foolproof.

If the murderer is caught, he will be so angry that he will start killing people, and then he will be beaten to death by them. It will be bad if there is no witness.

"and many more."

Hong Tianqiao stopped the servant who was about to go look for someone, "Tell Fu Fengyuan to go after two cups of tea."

Arriving at a different time from them would seem less deliberate and would not arouse the murderer's suspicion.

If they discovered the murderer within two cups of tea and had a conflict, and Fu Fengyuan arrived just in time to see it, then he would have caught the murderer red-handed!

"Mom, your brain works really fast now. It works better than my new brain."

Bai Jintong knew what her mother meant as soon as she thought about it.

"Let's change into plain clothes and try to come back early in the evening."

She didn't want to spend the night in the old house.

"Chu Chu, you should change into something and go with us. When we get to the old house, you should follow me and your cousin. Don't leave no matter who tells you to. Do you understand?"

Even though she is her niece, since she is here, she should go with her and learn a little about the funeral procedures.

Although this is unlucky, but everyone has deaths in their family, so it can be used after all.

"Okay, got it."

Hong Wenchu ​​felt a little scared when he heard what his aunt said.

But when I thought about how powerful my cousin was, I was no longer afraid.

She and her brother already knew that her cousins ​​were talented, and they were very envious.

They had just changed into plain clothes when Bai Mengshang, Bai Jintong and Hong Wenyuan came back. They also quickly changed their clothes, then each grabbed a plate of cakes and got on the carriage, eating as they went towards the Bai family's old residence.

If I don’t eat, I’m afraid I won’t be able to get anything to eat in the old house and I’ll be hungry.

I don’t know when I can come back.

A white lantern has been hung at the door of the old house, and the red door couplet has been torn off. It is obvious that someone in the family has died.

There are also many people coming and going.

Most of them are neighbors on this street. The dead are the most important. Even if they have had a bad relationship with someone before, they will send a servant to check on him.

When Bai Zhongze heard the doorman report that the eldest family was coming, he came out to greet them with a haggard face, unshaven beard, red eyes, and a look of dying.

Bai Jin'an was shocked when he saw this, "Wow, I almost thought it was a zombie."

"Mother~eldest brother~sister-in-law..."

"Okay, it's already this late and you're still doing those empty formalities.

Fugui, help the Second Master."

Now at the gate of the old house, Bai Mengshang acted like a friendly brother and called Fugui, his personal servant, to go up and support him.

I didn't let Bai Zhongze get hurt at all.

When they entered the house, the butler at the door kowtowed to the servants and thanked them for their visit and sent them away.

The Bai family's old house is now covered in white or linen.

The mourning hall for the mistress of the house must be set up in the main hall.

As soon as they entered the yard, everyone saw the filial son Bai Jinchen kneeling in the main hall, and he and his sisters knelt down and kowtowed to the people who came to burn incense.

"Grandmother~uncle~aunt~brother~sister~cousin~"

Bai Jinchen took the lead in calling people, and her four sisters followed suit.

Everyone's eyes were red and swollen from crying. It was not known whether the three concubines' crying was real or fake, but Bai Jinchen, born to Liu, and the fifth girl Bai Jinyao, were crying for real.

The youngest, Bai Jinyao, was only eight years old. Seeing her crying so pitifully, Hong Tianqiao and Madam Bai Jintong couldn't bear it.

Especially the lady dowager, Bai Jinyao grew up under her care. Let’s not talk about what kind of person Liu is, Bai Jinyao is just a child after all.

Bai Jintong's family came forward one by one to burn incense. Bai Jintong even took a look into the coffin while burning incense.

It was discovered that Liu's lips were blue and purple, which was different from normal death. It was obvious that she died of suffocation.

Just as I wanted to take another look, Bai Zhongze came floating over.

"Madam, how could you have the heart to abandon me and the children?

The second girl is here to see you... "

White Hibiscus...

Is it necessary to perform in front of her?

Was this intended to scare her?

Everyone in their family has died, so why are they afraid of this?

Isn't this simply a case of trying to cover up one's own guilt?

Bai Zhongze feels guilty!

With Bai Jintong's sharp eyes, she could tell at a glance that Bai Zhongze's dying look was just an act, and he was pretending quite well.

"What the hell is going on?

How can a good person just leave like that?"

Hong Tianqiao also took a handkerchief and wiped her tears.

The handkerchiefs were smeared with ginger juice at home and prepared before being brought home, with each family member holding one.

"Wow... She was fine last night and she was fine when I woke up this morning, but now she's like this after I got back from court... How am I going to live from now on? Wow..."

Bai Zhongze said this and covered his face with his hands and cried.

Bai Jintong suspected that his sleeves were smeared with chili water or something, and his face was red and white, which was obviously a sign of allergy.

What he said also cleared himself of suspicion, and he had gone to court, so he had enough excuses for not being there.

"Who discovered that Second Aunt was dead?

Have you called the doctor?

Maybe if it is discovered in time and a doctor is called in, it can still be saved."

After Bai Jintong asked the question, he stared at Bai Zhongze and Old Butler Bai, and also gave some to the two concubines.

The aunts did not have a strong motive to kill. After all, they had no sons, and even if Liu died, it would be impossible for them to become the legal wife.

Then it would not be good for them if Bai Zhongze married a new wife. It would be worse for them to marry Liu, with whom they had lived for more than ten years. They were all familiar with each other's ways.

Bai Jintong still wanted to examine the body personally, so he looked into the coffin again and actually made some new discoveries.

The nail on the middle finger of Liu's right hand was broken, and the flesh under the nail was exposed.

It's like the nail has flipped over due to scratching something too hard.

"How did your aunt's hand get hurt?"

Bai Jintong deliberately spoke out loud in doubt.

When Bai Jinchen heard this, he staggered to his feet and looked. That was his mother's body, and he couldn't make any mistakes.

When Bai Zhongze saw Bai Jintong reaching his hand into the coffin, he rushed over and tried to stop her.

"Can't touch!"

However, when he stretched out his hand to stop him, his sleeve was blocked by the coffin and his elbow was pulled up. Bai Jintong saw the scratches on his elbow.

"Uncle, you are also injured. Who caught you?"

Bai Jintong originally came here to expose the murderer, so when she found any clues, she did not hide them at all so that everyone could know.

When Bai Zhongze heard Bai Jintong's question, he hurriedly put down his sleeves and his eyes darkened.

"You're wrong."
