The mind-reading coroner drove the court crazy

Xia Liqian and Lu Qingchen both looked at Qin Miaoxi, which suddenly made her feel an inexplicable sense of guilt, and she wondered if she was too ignorant?

Xia Liqian sighed slightly, then handed her a booklet and said, "Take a look for yourself!"

When Qin Miaoxi opened it, she found that it was a list of candidates for the palace selection, and her name was on the list.

"What's going on? The contestants are all daughters of ministers. How could a commoner like me be among them?"

A cold light flashed in Lu Qingchen's eyes, but he had a new understanding of Qin Miaoxi's senior sister. Being able to obtain the list of concubines that had not yet been reported was not something that an ordinary person could do.

Xia Liqian's eyes were cold. "We don't know who did this yet. Before this list is sent up, arrange your marriage as soon as possible to avoid any further mistakes."

Qin Miaoxi held the audition booklet tightly in both hands, still resisting.

Seeing her silence, Lu Qingchen politely said to Xia Liqian, "Senior Sister Xia, I want to talk to Xixi alone."

"Go ahead! You two should bond more."

Qin Miaoxi's lips were pouted so much that three bottles of soy sauce could be hung on them. She looked unhappy as if she had been betrayed, but she still followed Lu Qingchen out obediently.

Outside the room, Lu Qingchen cornered Qin Miaoxi and pressed her, "Why on earth did you not agree?"

Qin Miaoxi felt her face getting hot. She avoided his burning gaze, rolled her eyes, and immediately came up with a perfect answer.

"You don't have money, why should I marry you?"

Lu Qingchen pointed at himself in astonishment. He had no money?

You can say he is not good at other things, but he can't bear the injustice of being told that he has no money.

"Who told you I have no money?"

Qin Miaoxi raised her eyebrows unwillingly, "Didn't you give all your belongings to the Emperor?"

Lu Qingchen suddenly felt like he was shooting himself in the foot. If he had known, he would have donated it later. He struggled to explain, "That's just the superficial silver. The most valuable things I have are those shops, which can make money."

Qin Miaoxi disagreed, "But you also sold those shops."

Lu Qingchen was mad and about to collapse. Could he tell the truth now? No.

In the end, he could only choose a new way between being cowardly and angry, and be angry and cowardly.

"In short, listen to me. The Marquis's Mansion is definitely not as impoverished as people say. If you're worried, I can give you all the Marquis's assets when we get engaged. You'll understand when you see it."

Unexpectedly, Qin Miaoxi refused without hesitation, "If you don't need me, I don't want those unexpected fortunes."

When she said this, her heart was bleeding. She also wanted to see how magnificent the two hundred loads of dowry would be. The main thing was that she couldn't keep it even if it fell into her hands!

This damn bad luck, even that broken system is so powerful that it can’t change it, is this really God’s will?

"What do you want me to agree to marry you?" Lu Qingchen scratched his head impatiently. "Do you really want to enter the palace to be selected?"

"Who said I'm going to the draft?"

She was just a little hesitant. Although she didn't know what she wanted, getting married was a matter of life and death, so she couldn't just make a decision so hastily!

"You don't hate me and don't want to marry me, do you?"

When Lu Qingchen thought of this possibility, his eyes instantly turned red with grievance. This was the only reason he could think of. Otherwise, why would Qin Miaoxi be so opposed to marrying him?

"No."

Qin Miaoxi blurted out, then realized she had overreacted. She then explained guiltily, "Although you're not very efficient in your work, you're still reliable. I don't hate you."

However, when Lu Qingchen heard this, it meant that not hating it was the same as liking it.

Then he started to boast again, "You really do like me."

Qin Miaoxi looked up at the sky speechlessly and couldn't help cursing in her heart.

Lu Qingchen's eyes became even redder. "Don't call me shameless and despicable in your heart."

Qin Miaoxi was shocked, "Can you hear what I say?"

Could it be that he also has the ability to read minds?

Lu Qingchen confessed honestly, "No, it's mainly because your expression just now was too dirty."

Their eyes met, their gazes almost drawing lines in the air. Qin Miaoxi suddenly pushed him away, her eyes filled with three parts of doubt, two parts of certainty, and five parts of bewilderment as she asked, "You're not in love with me, are you?"

"You and I……"

Lu Qingchen's heart was pounding and he was at a loss as to what to do.

But in my heart I was roaring: [She knows, she finally knows my feelings, does that mean we are connected now? ]

Qin Miaoxi's mind was buzzing, and she only said, "Don't love me, it will be fruitless."

Lu Qingchen: "..."

In an instant, he became furious and accused, "Do you have another dog?"

"Ah I……"

Qin Miaoxi's eyes turned dark. What did he say?

"Why should he be your dog? Does he understand?"

Lu Qingchen was getting more and more angry the more he spoke. He had been following Qin Miaoxi all day, so how could someone take advantage of him? If he knew who that bastard was, he would definitely beat the shit out of him and let him know that this woman was not someone that anyone could care about.

Qin Miaoxi was so angry that she laughed, "Do you think you understand?"

Lu Qingchen boasted with immense pride, "Of course, I've been a professional bootlicker for twenty years."

Okay, okay, you have been licking since you were born!

"Well, since you don't want to enter the palace for the selection, and my family is also in a lot of trouble, how about we work together privately?"

"Talk about it."

"If you help me drive out those ungrateful people in my house, I'll pay you accordingly, one thousand gold coins a month."

As soon as Lu Qingchen finished speaking, Qin Miaoxi was deeply moved. If this happened, it would be her normal income and would not be lost for no reason.

Seeing that she was interested, Lu Qingchen said more forcefully, "Marriage is just a superficial form of cooperation. After marriage, everything will be as you say. I can sleep in the study."

"Do everything I say?"

"Of course, if you still want to perform autopsies and solve crimes after you get married, you can even run a paper-making shop. I will not restrict your activities."

Qin Miaoxi didn't even realize that she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.

"In that case, let's sign the contract!"

She really had no way to refuse such favorable conditions. Moreover, getting married could solve multiple problems. She wouldn't have to go through the palace selection and wouldn't have to be nagged by her senior brothers and sisters. What moved her the most was that she could continue to perform autopsies after marriage. Plus, she could get a thousand gold coins. This was definitely a multiple-choice question!

If getting married is a must, then Lu Qingchen is the best choice she can find at the moment.

"What contract?"

"Of course I'm going to record everything you just said. If you deny it after we get married, where can I go to seek justice?"

Lu Qingchen's mind was completely occupied by the word "marriage", and he nodded hurriedly, "Okay, whatever you say is fine."

Immediately, the two signed a contract at Yunyin Pavilion. Not only did they write down everything they had said before, but Lu Qingchen also specifically added that he would not have three wives and four concubines to disgust Qin Miaoxi. If this contract was violated, Lu Qingchen would leave all his assets to Qin Miaoxi and leave the house with nothing.

Qin Miaoxi looked at the additional clause and said sheepishly, "Actually, you don't have to do this."

She wasn't planning on turning her fake relationship into reality with him. It seemed unreasonable not to let him take a concubine, and she felt like she was taking too much advantage.

"It's okay. Too many people in the house will make the house restless."

"insightful!"

Qin Miaoxi happily ran towards the wing room with the contract. This time she could really choose an auspicious day.

Lu Qingchen followed behind her with a meaningful smile.
