Fang Qingqing and Master Cui rode in the same carriage, yet they were as far apart as heaven and earth. They sized each other up with contempt and disdain.

Fang Qingqing really hated the person in front of her, who looked so superior and looked down on everyone.

"Your mistress's son, you, as a mother, are quite concerned about him." People outside said that Sun Jiye was Xiao Lan's biological son, and the Xiao family specially invited a Taoist priest from Xuanqing Temple to perform the French ceremony, so everyone believed it.

"That's our Sun family's child. Shouldn't I care about him? Even if an unknown child is lost on the street, you shouldn't be so indifferent." Fang Qingqing rolled her eyes at Master Cui, but because Master Cui kept looking at her, she didn't want to be outdone and kept staring at him.

"I'm just not as hypocritical as you. Don't you hate Xiao Lan? And how could I not hate the mistress?" Master Cui leaned forward and stared into Fang Qingqing's eyes, as if he wanted to see something from her eyes.

"She's the one who married you later, and you're still following her around like a slave. I didn't know you had such a broad mind."

Master Cui came closer, but Fang Qingqing did not step back. She just felt that the person in front of her was very puzzling.

"You don't need to get involved in our family affairs! I can follow whoever I want. What does it have to do with you whether my ambition is big or small?"

"I don't care. I just watch it for fun." Master Cui leaned back on the cushion of the carriage and stopped talking. Fang Qingqing looked at this man who was lost in thought. This person always gave him a familiar feeling.

When the two got off the carriage, Mr. Cui acted as if nothing had happened and led Fang Qingqing to the morgue inside the yamen.

Su Ze was in the morgue, listening to what the coroner was saying. Master Cui did not go in because he disliked the smell. Fang Qingqing, on the other hand, rushed in fearlessly and ran out quickly.

It was a cold day, but not that cold. The body had been gutted, and the smell inside was truly awful.

Fang Qingqing leaned against the doorway and retched. Master Cui offered her a handkerchief, but was rejected. Su Ze came out of the morgue and saw Fang Qingqing's distress. He didn't know what to say. After all, the person who came was not the one he wanted to see.

As a result, Su Ze became even more worried about Xiao Lan's current condition. After all, this was devastating news for everyone.

"Miss Qing." Su Ze knew that this was the daughter of the Sun family, but he also knew that Xiao Lan told everyone that this was Miss Qing in order to let her walk around outside.

Fang Qingqing took a long time to calm down before she stood up straight. She had been prepared, but once again seeing Su Ze's face so close to her, she stared blankly.

"The smell inside is terrible, but if the girl comes to identify the body, you have to endure it." Su Ze turned around and called Xu Yi over.

Xu Yi brought out a small bottle and told Fang Qingqing to apply it under her nose to ward off the stench of corpses. However, the bottle was still stained with blood after the corpses were killed, leaving Fang Qingqing at a loss as to where to start.

Fang Qingqing shook her head, "No need!"

She took a deep breath, held it, and ran back into the house. She told herself that this was just a haunted house in an amusement park, nothing special, and everyone had seen the world before, so she must not embarrass herself.

Xu Yi followed Fang Qingqing, asking every question, "Does this person have scars on his wrist?"

Fang Qingqing didn't care about wrists or not, as long as their faces met, it was fine. She held her breath and walked around the room, looked around, and turned to run out, but was blocked by Xu Yi.

Fang Qingqing could hardly hold her breath any longer, so she grabbed Xu Yi's chest and pushed him out the door.

Xiao Lan and Fang Qingqing don't have such a strict rule about physical contact between men and women, but people in this era are different.

Xu Yi was so startled by Fang Qingqing's actions that he stepped back repeatedly, but even then, Fang Qingqing pressed against his chest and pushed him out the door. Xu Yi opened his arms, at a loss, not daring to reach out and pull Fang Qingqing away. He felt unwell all over, his face burning, and his ears almost burning.

In his haste to retreat, Xu Yi didn't even bother to look at the threshold, and fell backwards. Su Ze reached out to help him, but Fang Qingqing also fell headfirst into Xu Yi's arms.

Xu Yi was still wearing his autopsy clothes, and the blood from them had stained Fang Qingqing's face. Fang Qingqing's courage suddenly disappeared. She screamed, jumped up, and climbed onto the nearby pillar.

Su Ze felt a headache when he saw the two of them. On the other hand, Master Cui looked at Fang Qingqing as if she was laughing at a joke. Fang Qingqing was once again furious at Master Cui's gaze. She pointed at Master Cui and cursed, "What are you looking at! Close your eyes!"

Master Cui spread his hands and shrugged, no longer looking at him. Su Ze also helped Xu Yi to stand steadily.

Xu Yi's head was almost buried in his stomach, his whole head was red. He didn't care what others said, he rushed into the morgue and closed the door.

The slam of the door slamming shut startled Fang Qingqing, but she calmed down. She stopped hugging the pillar and walked towards Su Ze in a calm and composed manner.

"It's my master Sun. The servants and grooms are all from my family."

Su Ze knew that women were most afraid of these things, and it was already good enough that she could run in and recognize people. So he nodded and said, "Okay, why didn't your wife come?"

"My wife couldn't bear the bad news, so she couldn't come." Fang Qingqing calmed her thoughts and answered Su Ze's question slowly.

Su Ze thought that Xiao Lan couldn't bear it, but he felt a little worried. He hesitated and said, "I have something to ask your wife, or..."

"Madam asked you to go to Sun's house. I wonder if you can get away!" Fang Qingqing looked at Su Ze with a scrutinizing look in her eyes. She stared at him too closely, and even Su Ze felt a little embarrassed.

Master Cui coughed dryly behind her, and Fang Qingqing withdrew her gaze.

"Let's go." Su Ze led the way out, followed by Master Cui. Fang Qingqing saw that Master Cui was also a little unhappy, and she really didn't want to continue to be with this person.

Fortunately, the government office had prepared a horse-drawn carriage, so I didn't have to take a car back.

"Miss Qing also likes you, sir." Master Cui glanced at Su Ze in the carriage and sighed.

“Don’t talk nonsense, I asked, and I look like an old acquaintance of Madam Sun. Maybe Miss Qing has seen him too.”

"Heh... I'm afraid it's more than just a resemblance. Miss Qing's eyes are almost popping out." Master Cui smiled disdainfully.

"This old acquaintance is not a good person, so they have some hatred towards me." Su Ze has a lot of trust in Master Cui. After all, he was a dying beggar he picked up on the street, so he can tell him anything.

Master Cui did not comment on the phrase "hate the whole house and the whole family", but said: "Now that the Sun family has no man, Madam Sun has lost her backbone. You must take good care of her."

"Mrs. Sun is her own backbone." Su Ze didn't know what Xiao Lan was like now, and whether she really couldn't hold on as Fang Qingqing said.

"No matter how determined you are, you're still a woman, and this is a very vulnerable time. You've lost your husband, your child, and if you don't have anyone to rely on, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on."

What Master Cui said touched Su Ze's heart. He didn't reply for a long time, and no one knew what he was thinking.
