The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple

"Do you know who the Wan family's daughter was promised to?"

"I don't know. I just heard that he was from the capital."

"I heard that it seemed like some prince?"

"That's impossible. It seems to be the prince's entourage, right?"

Gossip is human nature and it has never changed since ancient times. Everyone makes wild guesses, but no one dares to touch the topic of treason.

The auspicious time was approaching, and Madam Wan slowly walked out with the support of Aunt Xiangming. She had also changed into festive clothes and her hair was neatly combed. Although her steps were still unsteady, she was much better than in the past few days when she would gasp for air after moving.

Madam Wan has been managing the Wanjian Sect for many years and still has some authority. As soon as she came out, all the gossip voices immediately disappeared, and were replaced by endless greetings.

Madam Wan nodded to everyone and walked to the front. Xiao Mubei was already there. Madam Wan bowed to Xiao Mubei and said, "Your Highness, please take a seat."

Xiao Mubei did not refuse, and pointed to the seat a little below and said, "Madam, please."

The two of them sat down, and the rest of the people took their seats too. However, everyone was even more confused. It turned out that the prince was here, so the one who was engaged to the daughter of the Wan family must not be the prince.

When the auspicious time arrived, Wen Rulan and Wan Ruwei appeared in front of the people together. This was an engagement after all, so there was not so much red tape. The two walked all the way to the front along the flower path.

Wan Ruwei's elder, Madam Wan, was present, but Wen Rulan had no elders. Chu Yunxi, as a family member, exchanged engagement letters with Madam Wan, and the newlyweds toasted Xiao Mubei and Madam Wan, and the marriage was settled.

The feast began immediately afterwards. The villagers hadn't had such a lively time for a long time, and they all drank heartily. After three rounds of drinks, everyone started to speak more freely.

"If you ask me, the current emperor is quite good. There has been no famine in recent years, and the people live and work in peace. Although there was a war with Nandi before, it did not affect the people."

"Yes, I heard that when the King Dingbei of the imperial court was in Southern Xinjiang, he required his soldiers not to take anything from the people, not to trample on the people's fertile fields, and when fighting with the Southern Di, he would let the people evacuate in advance. The King Dingbei had the people in his heart."

"That's right, what's the point of having a legitimate bloodline? As long as he can make our people live a good life, he is a good emperor. Southern Xinjiang is so far away from the capital, why would you rush there and throw your life away in vain?"

"Madam Wan is still here, don't say that."

Although everyone's voices were not loud, bits and pieces of their conversations could always reach the ears of Xiao Mubei and Old Lady Wan. Old Lady Wan sighed and said, "Prince, I know that you held this engagement banquet to comfort me. In fact, I have figured it out these days. My son has been hiding in the capital for these years, living a life of hiding from place to place. He thought he was enduring and dormant, but he didn't know that the people's will is the orthodoxy. We were wrong. Fortunately, Xiaowei will not live that kind of life again. Your Majesty and Lord Prince are generous and will not bother with us. When I am a hundred years old, I will definitely go down to the underworld and scold my foolish husband so that he can do more good deeds in his next life to atone for the sins he committed in this life."

Madam Wan started to cry as she spoke. Wan Ruwei quickly took a handkerchief to wipe her tears. "Grandma, today is a happy day. Please don't cry."

"Yes, yes, it's a happy day." Old Madam Wan quickly wiped away her tears and smiled.

Xiao Mubei said: "It's great that the old lady can figure it out. In the future, you can stay in the capital with Xiao Wei, live a carefree life, let go of everything in the past, and enjoy your old age."

"Okay, okay." Madam Wan happily grabbed Wan Ruwei's hand, then grabbed Wen Rulan's hand, put their hands together, and said with a smile: "Even if you really are a three-yin body, I will accept it. I will hand my baby to you, you must treat her well for the rest of your life."

Wen Rulan nodded heavily, "Don't worry, grandma."

Wan Ruwei sniffed and smiled, "Grandma, you will follow me from now on. If he bullies me, you can beat him with your cane."

"In my opinion, Master Wen has such a gentle personality, I'm afraid you are the only one who can bully him." Madam Wan laughed heartily.

Seeing her grandma happy, Wan Ruwei was also happy, and she held Wen Rulan's hand even tighter.

The whole banquet was in full swing, and the villagers were all relaxed. Someone suddenly said, "This is our Dasui's King Dingbei. It was he who once controlled the soldiers in our southern border and fought against the Nandi. Long live King Dingbei!"

After the shout of "Long Live the Lord" was uttered, countless shouts followed. Soon, all the villagers in Lijia Village were shouting "Long Live the Lord". Xiao Mubei tried several times to suppress the shouts.

Xiao Mubei said: "My fellow villagers, I have only done my duty. I do not deserve your praise. If you have any problems that you cannot solve in the future, you can go to the Dali Temple in the capital to find me."

"Prince Dingbei is a good man. We feel at ease knowing that the court has him."

The people were very excited. Chu Yunxi watched the scene with a smile and couldn't help feeling proud of it.

At this moment, a woman with a child suddenly rushed to the front and shouted: "King Dingbei, I have been wronged. I want to sue Wang Youshan, a villager in this village, for murder!"

A single stone can cause a thousand ripples. As soon as the woman said this, the surroundings immediately became quiet, leaving only the sound of the woman's crying.

Xiao Mubei's face darkened and he said, "If you have any grievances, you can tell me one by one."

The woman cried, "Your Highness, a few days ago, my husband was killed by Wang Youshan. His body is still at home, leaving us an orphan and a widow. How can we live?"

At this time, a man jumped up and pointed at the mother and son and said, "Qin Shiyue, stop spitting blood at me. Your man hanged himself. What does it have to do with me?"

"It's you. It must be you. My husband has been seeing you every day these days. Who else could it be but you?"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Xiao Mubei hurriedly stopped them and said, "Stop quarreling. Miss, what is your name and where do you live?"

The woman lowered her head and said, "I am Qin Shiyue, and this is my son Qin Huai. We live in the east end of the village."

Chu Yunxi stood up and said, "You said that your husband's body is still at home, right? Take me to see it. Wang Youshan, you stay here for a while. We can all go home after we have eaten and drunk well. If you are not full, you can stay until you are full."

After saying that, Chu Yunxi walked to Qin Shiyue's side and said, "Let's go."

Qin Shiyue looked at Xiao Mubei, then at Chu Yunxi, and asked in confusion: "Who is the girl?"

Chu Yunxi said calmly: "I am the concubine of Prince Dingbei, and also the coroner of the Dali Temple!"
