The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple
Chapter 234 Approaching
Wen Rulan was speechless and could only hold back her hands. "Okay, okay, I can't argue with you, but since they want to rebel against you now, they probably won't harm you for the time being. Can you have breakfast now?"
Chu Yunxi sniffed it again and confirmed that it was not poisonous, so she said, "You can eat it, but you still have to be careful next time. I always feel that there is something wrong with this tranquilizing incense and this food, but you can't always not eat."
"As long as you don't use them at the same time, there shouldn't be any problem." Wen Rulan took a bite first, waited for a while, and when she found no problem, she let Chu Yunxi eat.
After breakfast, Zhuoma came again and said straight to the point, "Miss San, how are you thinking about it?"
"Lady Zhuoma, to be honest, when my father was slandered and my mother was sentenced to death, I was indeed very resentful. I resented the injustice of heaven for making good people suffer injustice. I hated the ruthlessness of heaven. My father was clearly dedicated to Dasui, but he ended up like this. His body has not been found to this day. But now, I have gradually accepted this fact. After all, I am a little girl with limited abilities. How can I fight against heaven?"
"Then what Miss San means is..."
"Revenge, of course I want to take revenge. I have roughly figured out your purpose, but this is a capital crime. Lady Zhuoma, my father worked hard for Dasui all his life, but he didn't have a good ending. I am alone now, so I have nothing to fear, but I have a condition."
"What conditions?" Zhuoma stared at Chu Yunxi warily.
Chu Yunxi took off her veil, drank a sip of water, raised her head, and her beautiful face was full of regret. "Since ancient times, it has been difficult to be both loyal and filial. Since I can't be loyal, I will be filial. My father's body is still missing. In fact, I came to southern Xinjiang this time to find my father's body. Since Lady Zhuoma wants to help, please help me find my father's bones, let me bring them back to the capital, and bury them with my mother, to complete my last filial piety as a daughter."
Zhuoma frowned, "It's been more than half a year since the war. How easy is it to find your father's body?"
"If it's easy, why would I need Lady Zhuoma's help? Southern Xinjiang is Lady Zhuoma's territory. I think Lady Zhuoma must have a way. Once I leave Southern Xinjiang this time, I'm afraid I won't have another chance to come back, so I must take this opportunity to complete this matter, otherwise, I will never leave."
Chu Yunxi's words were firm and unquestionable. Zhuoma had no choice but to say, "Then I will do my best to help Miss San find your father's body. Before we find it, please stay here for a while and don't wander around."
"Okay, thank you Master Zhuoma."
Three days passed in a flash, and Xiao Mubei was waiting anxiously in the inn. However, Chu Yunxi asked Wen Rulan to convey the message that "there is a major discovery, and we need to stay and continue to explore. Please be patient."
Xiao Mubei felt like he was living a year in a day. He repeatedly wanted to break into Zhuoma's house at all costs to see what Chu Yunxi had discovered.
But he knew that Chu Yunxi always did things in a planned way, and was afraid that he would disrupt her plans and make things worse, so he held back and just sent people to the place where he had agreed to meet with Wen Rulan every day to wait for news from Wen Rulan.
During the three days, Xiao Junxiang came almost every day, but Chu Yunxi turned him down every day. He didn't care at all. He would leave after being rejected and come again the next day, showing his perseverance.
Finally, on this day, Chu Yunxi opened the door, "What on earth does Young Master Xiao want?"
Xiao Junxiang opened his fan and waved it gently, saying, "A beautiful lady is a good match for a gentleman. I like you, can you give me a chance?"
Chu Yunxi said, "I am in mourning and don't want to talk about romance. Mr. Xiao, please go back."
Xiao Junxiang said, "Isn't it possible to just make friends first? Since the girl is also unable to leave this mansion, like me, then we can be considered to be in the same boat. Just think of it as finding someone to chat and relieve your loneliness."
Chu Yunxi frowned, "Master Xiao can't get out either?"
Xiao Junxiang smiled bitterly, "I have been trapped in this mansion for twenty years and have never been out. I can only see the world in books. I would like to ask you, young lady, what the world outside is like."
Chu Yunxi didn't expect that Xiao Junxiang was so pitiful. He had hardly left the house since he was a child. Are these people so cautious? They have locked him up since he was a child. Even if his identity needs to be kept secret, it shouldn't be like this, right?
Wen Rulan's voice was as soft as a mosquito behind him, "You can win sympathy and use the same trick against them."
Of course I know that Chu Yunxi was also complaining in her heart, but her face was full of sympathy, "I didn't expect Young Master Xiao to be like this... In this case, please come in, and I will tell you about the world outside."
Chu Yunxi was quite good at history, and she could talk very clearly about what she had seen and heard after traveling through time, which made Xiao Junxiang very envious, and he listened with great interest. The two of them actually had a very pleasant conversation that day.
The next day, Xiao Junxiang came to Chu Yunxi again with a few scrolls, "Miss Third, I did as you asked and drew the most impressive ones. I want to give them to you. I wonder if you like them?"
Chu Yunxi took the scroll in amazement and unfolded it. Immediately, several landscape paintings appeared vividly in front of Chu Yunxi. Chu Yunxi exclaimed: "It's so lifelike, as if I were there in person. I didn't expect that you, Mr. Xiao, are so good at painting. It's really admirable."
Xiao Junxiang smiled and said, "Miss Third, you are so kind. As long as you like it, it's fine. Next time, please tell me more, so that I can have more materials for painting."
"Okay." Chu Yunxi was in high spirits and the two started chatting again.
"I didn't bother to ask Master Xiao yesterday why he was locked up in the village chief's house for twenty years. Is there any hidden secret? Is there anything Yunxi can help with?"
Xiao Junxiang sighed, "My father and eldest brother Zhuoma's father were close friends. Because they committed some crimes, their entire family was executed. Eldest brother Zhuoma's father risked his life to save me. He was afraid that the government would find me and harm me, so he didn't let me go out. In fact, I know that my uncle did it for my own good. Although I couldn't go out, he hired a teacher to teach me literacy, etiquette, music, chess, calligraphy and painting. I learned everything that other children learned, and I also learned everything that other children didn't learn."
"But these are nothing compared to your freedom."
Chu Yunxi said, "I have been a wild child since I was young. I followed my two brothers out to run around and play all day. My parents said that girls should stay at home, but I didn't want to. Seeing that they couldn't control me, my parents simply dressed me up as a boy and let me go to school and play with my brothers. So, I think I can do without anything except freedom."
