Tragic death and rebirth, I remarried the scumbag uncle on the spot

When Yu Guiwan heard about his father, his eyes became slightly more serious and he silently observed the expressions of the two people opposite him.

General Xiao sighed before saying, "To be honest with you, Young Marquis, I do have some connections in Yuanzhou over the years, and General Yu is someone I admire. Unfortunately, General Yu has disappeared."

"There's another battle at the border. I've been secretly searching for General Yu's whereabouts. When I went to reinforce the border a few days ago, I even specifically asked the soldiers what the situation was like."

"Unfortunately, no one knows that none of the people General Yu took out were able to return."

At this point, General Xiao's face was filled with grief. Yu Guiwan clenched her hands under the table. When she heard these details, she almost held her breath and didn't even dare to think further.

Pei Jin frowned, and couldn't help but worry about General Yu. He was also worried about whether Yu Guiwan could still hold on at this time.

Before Pei Jin could speak, Zhuang Feilu spoke again. He stood up and bowed to Pei Jin, "Actually, the general and I rushed back to Yuanzhou because we have an important matter that I would like to ask the young marquis for help with."

"Just say it." In fact, Pei Jin was also very confused. He had never had any intersection with these two people, and now he was far away in Yuanzhou. How could he help?

General Xiao's expression turned even more sorrowful. "In fact, we brought back the remains of Marshal Yu this time."

Upon hearing this, Yu Guiwan almost couldn't control herself and stood up. It was Bei Li beside her who quietly stopped her subconscious excited movement with his hand, preventing her from revealing her identity.

She slowly closed her palms and controlled her expression.

"What a pity! Such a good man was assassinated and finally burned to ashes."

"We also want to send his remains back to the capital for the Yu family, but we cannot leave Yuanzhou without His Majesty's summons. We think that Young Marquis Pei will be returning to the capital soon, so we would like to trouble him to escort the remains back."

Pei Jin knew what Yu Guiwan wanted to do most at the moment, and immediately said, "Of course, Marshal Yu sacrificed his life for his country, and I, Pei, will definitely help him. I wonder if the general would allow me to pay tribute to Marshal Yu."

"Of course you can. It won't be too late to go after dinner."

"No, I'd better go see him first and come back, otherwise I will feel bad. Generals, please wait a moment, I will be back soon." Pei Jin said, stood up and walked out of the house.

Pei Jin insisted on going, and the others couldn't sit still any longer so they followed him out. Zhuang Feilu took Pei Jin to a room where a coffin was placed.

Yu Guiwan followed behind Pei Jin and only heard Pei Jin say, "Excuse me." Then Pei Jin pushed open the wooden board above the coffin. This action made the others gasp, and they didn't understand what Pei Jin was going to do?

This is extremely disrespectful to the deceased.

"Young Marquis, what are you doing! Young Marshal Yu sacrificed his life for the country, you can't be so presumptuous here!" General Xiao's face looked very ugly. He didn't expect that the worship Pei Jin mentioned was actually like this.

At the moment the coffin lid was pushed open, Yu Guiwan almost held his breath, and his heart seemed to stop beating suddenly.

The next second, a charred corpse appeared in front of her. It was indeed as Zhuang Feilu and the others had said, completely unrecognizable. There was no trace of Yu Yanlin at all. The only thing that could be identified was that of a male corpse.

But this may not be her brother's body, she thought.

But just as Yu Guiwan was thinking this, she caught a glimpse of a jade pendant placed next to the corpse. She recognized that jade pendant.

That was the jade pendant she gave to her brother, and her brother always wore it.

She wouldn't admit it.

Yu Guiwan withdrew her gaze, still trying to maintain a calm expression, only to hear Pei Jin's doubtful voice ring out, "The body is already like this, are you sure it is really Marshal Yu?"

As Pei Jin spoke, she immediately closed the coffin and completely integrated herself into the identity of a subordinate.

Only then did Governor Li breathe a sigh of relief. It turned out that Pei Jin was suspicious of the corpse.

"We were skeptical at first, but the people who went in to put out the fire did see the body, and also the jade pendant. Those in the barracks who were close to Young Marshal Yu knew that the jade pendant was a gift from his sister, and he wore it all year round."

Zhuang Feilu explained.

"If Young Marquis Pei has any concerns, you can carefully question the people in the military camp after arriving at the border. I'm sure they will be able to explain it in more detail."

Pei Jin bowed his head towards the coffin in a moment of silence, then looked over and said, "Then I'll trouble General Xiao to lead the way tomorrow."

After dinner, Pei Jin returned to the house and had someone guard outside before he dared to speak to Yu Guiwan. Seeing her expressionless face, he couldn't help but want to comfort her. "This body doesn't mean anything. Maybe we found the wrong person?"

Pei Jin tried to comfort Yu Guiwan, but Yu Guiwan blinked and held back the tears that were about to fall.

"Thank you for comforting me, young marquis. I will go back and rest first."

Yu Guiwan walked out of the house. At this moment, she was a little at a loss. She couldn't believe that her brother had died like this. She couldn't believe it, and she didn't want to believe it.

Xie Sui was also rushing to the border as fast as he could. When Xie Sui set out, Yu Guiwan had already been walking for several days. He originally wanted to catch up with Yu Guiwan, but due to Xie Sui's health, they had to stop and rest at the post station.

A carriage stopped at the entrance of the post station, and Xie Sui got off the carriage. Originally, he also rode a horse to travel, but unfortunately his body could not support long-term riding. So every two days, Xie Sui would get on the carriage, and change horses every two days. Therefore, his speed was much slower than Yu Guiwan and the others.

Originally, he was thinking of riding all the way to the border regardless of anything, but Bei Chu's words made Xie Sui give up this idea.

"The princess originally asked you to wait for her in the capital. If you fall ill on the way and arrive at the border, you know her temper." Bei Chu deliberately mentioned Yu Guiwan. Now everyone in the palace knows that only the princess can control their prince.

With Bei Chu's words, Xie Sui paid extra attention along the way. He took his daily medicine on time and wore a cloak and a hat when riding. He was originally worried that A Wan would be angry when she saw him, just as Bei Chu said.

If he went to the border while sick, he probably wouldn't dare to see A Wan. The main reason was that he was worried that she would be angry and afraid that she would think he was a person who did not keep his promises.
