The mind-reading coroner drove the court crazy

Qin Miaoxi was extremely anxious and hurried towards the yamen. The image of the corpse was all in her mind. She was so worried that she could not care about anything else.

Lu Qingchen followed closely behind her, while Zi Yan and Wen Zhu appeared beside him quietly like ghosts.

"Son-in-law, I heard that someone went to the Marquis's Mansion to cause trouble. Are you going to teach them a lesson?" Although Zi Yan had a stern face, the gloating in her tone was beyond words, which made people feel a little abrupt when listening to it.

Lu Qingchen glanced at her in surprise, raised an eyebrow and asked, "As Xiao Xixi's maid, I see you're so busy running around, you're even busier than Xiao Xixi herself."

Zi Yan paused and turned to Wen Zhu, mocking him. "Look at your Marquis, what a coward! As the young lady's husband, he can't even protect her safety. I think I'll have to take the trouble to personally protect her from now on."

Wen Zhu looked helpless, opened his mouth, but only uttered a few ellipsis: "..." He felt aggrieved and secretly complained to himself, what did this matter have to do with him, why was he always the one who got caught in the crossfire.

Lu Qingchen was so angry that his face turned red, veins on his neck were visible, and anger was surging in his heart, but he couldn't vent it.

After all, Xiao Xixi hasn't warmed up to him yet, so he'll let this cunning little maid be proud for a while. When he becomes a son-in-law in the future, he will definitely teach this girl a lesson for using shady tricks and speaking harshly.

In the next moment, there was a loud "bang" and Qin Miaoxi ran headfirst into a man's arms without any preparation.

In an instant, a familiar scent of ink drifted into her nose. The fragrance seemed familiar, yet elusive, which made her startle slightly.

Lu Qingchen nervously looked Qin Miaoxi up and down, his eyes full of concern. His hands trembled slightly as he carefully checked her for injuries, muttering to himself, "Are you hurt anywhere? Does it hurt?"

After confirming that Qin Miaoxi was fine, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around and stared at the weak scholar in front of him with a fierce look.

As Lu Qingchen spoke, he very reluctantly took out a piece of silver from his pocket and quickly stuffed it into the scholar's arms. His movements seemed a bit stiff and perfunctory, and he muttered insincerely: "I apologize on behalf of my wife. This is for you. Go to the clinic and have a look!"

After saying that, he took Qin Miaoxi's hand and turned to leave.

But after pulling several times, Qin Miaoxi seemed to have taken root and did not move at all.

Lu Qingchen couldn't help but be stunned. He followed Qin Miaoxi's gaze and saw that she was staring at the scholar with her eyes wide open, as if she wanted to eat him.

The scholar seemed to have noticed Qin Miaoxi's gaze. The corners of his mouth rose slightly and he responded with a faint smile. A wonderful breath filled the air.

In Lu Qingchen's eyes, the scholar's smile seemed like he was communicating with Qin Miaoxi through his eyes. Suddenly, a nameless fire surged in his heart, and his face instantly became gloomy, as if he had drunk a jar of old vinegar, sour.

Lu Qingchen couldn't help but mutter to himself: "What are you looking at? He's just a man. What's so good about him?"

His heart was filled with doubts and jealousy, but he couldn't show it, so he could only sulk in secret.

Qin Miaoxi seemed lost in memories. She looked at the scholar, a strange light flickering in her eyes, as if she was reminiscing about something. She whispered, "He dances beautifully."

Lu Qingchen glanced at the scholar with disdain and said, "What's so great about this? It's just dancing! Since you like watching it so much, I'll dance for you."

After that, he ignored everyone's gazes and began to twist his waist and hips and jumped up.

Although his dancing posture was a little weird, it had a fiery flavor that made people laugh.

Zi Yan, who had been standing by, saw this and her eyelids twitched wildly. Unable to bear it any longer, she secretly tugged at the corner of Wen Zhu's clothes and whispered, "Son-in-law, is this considered domestic violence?"

After hearing this, Wen Zhu's mouth twitched slightly, and he shook his head helplessly, signaling her not to say anything more.

Qin Miaoxi was so angry when she heard Zi Yan's words that her back teeth creaked. She glared at Lu Qingchen fiercely and cursed in a low voice: "Well, he's whipping my brain."

She was angry and annoyed, but helpless. She could only let Lu Qingchen make a fuss while she walked towards the scholar.

Lu Qingchen was so anxious that he could no longer hold back and blurted out, "Xiao Xixi, is my dance not beautiful? Or is it not passionate enough? That nerd is a male demon. He actually bewitched you so much that you feel dizzy and like you've lost your soul..."

He spoke more and more anxiously, his speech as fast as a machine gun, and his cheeks flushed with excitement.

Qin Miaoxi, however, seemed to have completely ignored his words. She lightly walked up to the scholar with lotus steps. Her eyebrows curved into crescents in an instant and she called out happily, "Second Senior Brother, why are you here?"

The sound was filled with an unconcealable surprise, like the clearest bird song in spring.

For a moment, the air around seemed to freeze and become dead silent.

Lu Qingchen was like a rooster whose neck was pinched by an invisible hand. All the noise in his heart stopped abruptly. He just stood there with his eyes wide open. The madness on his face had not yet faded away. He just stood there stiffly, with only the surging unwillingness and disbelief in his eyes.

"You call him Second Senior Brother?"

Qin Miaoxi's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, her eyes full of disdain. She only glanced at him lightly, but still nodded slightly and replied, "Yes, this is my second senior brother, Xie Baiyan."

Lu Qingchen was stunned as if he had been struck by thunder. It was not until this moment that he realized the hidden meaning in Qin Miaoxi's previous words.

"Second Senior Brother, I've heard a lot about you!" His mind raced, and a fawning smile instantly appeared on his face. He looked as flattering as he could be. "I'm Xiao Xixi's husband. You can just call me Xiao Luzi from now on."

His mind was as clear as a mirror, and he knew very well that the man in front of him was his real brother-in-law, and he held a great position in Qin Miaoxi's heart.

He knew very well that sometimes the "whispers" from his brother-in-law were more powerful than his own "whispers", so he must not leave a bad impression on his brother-in-law, otherwise, he would have a hard time in front of Qin Miaoxi in the future, and he would definitely have to pay the price.

Xie Boyan had a faint smile on his face, his gaze resting on him, and spoke with a hint of teasing, "Oh? I thought others saw me as that enchanting male demon. I didn't expect the young marquis to be so modest today, which made me seem overconfident. Junior Sister! This is all thanks to you!"

After saying that, he raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of mischief flashing in his eyes.

Lu Qingchen: "..."

The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and he secretly complained in his heart: Are you still remembering what happened just now and trying to compete with me?

Lu Qingchen quickly put on a smile again and waved his hands repeatedly, the amplitude of his movements so large that it seemed to tear the air around him apart. "Second Brother, what are you talking about? You are so graceful and elegant, you are a figure that is unparalleled in the world. I am just an ordinary person. I was just squinted by your grace just now, which is why I spoke so quickly. Please be magnanimous and don't take it personally."

As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Xie Baiyan's expression out of the corner of his eye, fearing that this gentleman would be unhappy and try to trip him up again.

Xie Baiyan, however, seemed oblivious to his cautiousness. He folded his arms across his chest, tilted his head slightly, and said in a very arrogant manner, "Haha! Young Marquis, since you've married my junior sister, you must treat her well. If I find out that you dare to bully her in the slightest, don't blame me for being rude."

As he spoke, his calm eyes revealed a terrifying intimidation.

Lu Qingchen nodded hurriedly, his head nodding like a chick pecking at rice, "Of course, Second Senior Brother, don't worry. I love her so much that I want to pluck all the stars in the sky for her. How could I bully her in the slightest?"

Seeing him like this, Xie Baiyan's expression relaxed slightly, and a barely perceptible arc appeared at the corner of his mouth. "That's more or less. Well, since we're meeting for the first time today, I won't make things difficult for you. I came here just to see how Junior Sister is doing."

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingchen breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand to wipe the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead, and secretly rejoiced that he had temporarily passed this hurdle.

Qin Miaoxi asked curiously, "Second Brother, you came to see me?"

Since they came down the mountain, they have been apart for most of the time and mostly communicated through letters. She couldn't help but wonder what was so important that could make her second senior brother travel thousands of miles to the capital.

Xie Baiyan looked at her like this, feeling both amused and helpless. He sighed helplessly and said, "What else could it be? It's naturally about your fiefdom. Ma Shang Mansion is located in a remote area, not only is the land sparsely populated, but the economy is also in a slump. I really don't know what you were thinking at the time. Why did you want such a place?"

Qin Miaoxi blinked speechlessly, "Second Brother, can I have the final say on the matter of this fiefdom?"

Xie Baiyan sighed slightly and said sympathetically, "Yeah, it's good to have one. With your fate, even if you were allowed to choose, it probably wouldn't be a good place. It's worse than the one you have now."

Qin Miaoxi: "..."
