After entering the book, the cold prince begs for favor
Chapter 151: It’s an Empty Coffin
On the tombstone, it was written "Tomb of Yuan Chuan and His Wife". The mountain breeze blew, and the grass beside the grave swayed gently. Yuan Wanru was silent for a long time, and finally spoke.
"Uncle Yuan, Aunt Yuan, your heroic spirits should know that I am not the same person I used to be."
"Your daughter is no longer with us. I can't explain the fate of their marriage. I just hope that your family can be reunited."
"This time, I brought some old things with me. When the graves are moved, I will put them in your coffins. It will be like you and your family of three are buried together."
"Although it was not my wish, I did take possession of your daughter's body. In return, I will help the Yuan family and work hard to find the murderer who killed your daughter to comfort her soul in heaven."
After saying this, she had nothing more to say. She kowtowed several times and stood up to walk downstairs.
Lu Jiangnian looked at her from afar. Her slender figure looked particularly desolate and lonely in the forest of graves, so pitiful that it made people feel distressed.
Only at this moment did he realize that his wife was so small and thin, and he should feed her more in the future.
Her parents had passed away long ago, and she was all alone and helpless. It was heartbreaking to think about it. He had treated her badly and ignored her in the past, and he would have to make it up to her double in the future.
Yuan Wanru's face was calm as she walked over and said to Lu Jiangnian, "That's enough."
But when she met his distressed eyes, she thought that something unfortunate had happened to her?
Nothing serious happened just now, right? Why was he looking at her like that?
"My lady, I will treat you well in the future."
Yuan Wanru pulled the corner of her mouth awkwardly: "Isn't this as it should be?"
Lu Jiangnian choked, reached out and touched her temples, and smiled gently: "It's what I should do."
There was deep affection in his eyes, and in his dark pupils, there was unquestionable seriousness and pity.
Yuan Wanru's heart moved. He might think that she told her this sentence on purpose because she was sad about Yuan Chuan and his wife.
Feeling a little warm in her heart, she smiled sweetly at him. Lu Jiangnian thought this smile was particularly charming. He stared at her, unable to take his eyes off her.
The couple acted as if no one was around, their eyes locked on each other, and the atmosphere was so ambiguous that Yuanshan, who came to call for help, didn't know how to start.
"Cough cough."
He really couldn't hold it in any longer. Seeing his niece's husband getting closer and closer, he was really afraid of seeing something inappropriate for children, so he had to warn him.
"It's getting late, let's go check out the place."
After saying that, she didn't dare to look at her niece's husband's eyes, and turned her head quickly, for fear of meeting Lu Jiangnian's sharp eyes. After all, he had disturbed their good thing.
Yuan Wanru came back to her senses and saw Yuan Shan's slightly staggering back. She was silent for a while before saying, "Why is Second Uncle walking so fast?"
Lu Jiangnian took the fallen leaves off her hair: "He might think I want to kiss you."
Yuan Wanru guessed it. What a coincidence. Lu Jiangnian just told her that there was a leaf fallen on her head and he wanted to help her take it off.
She also jokingly asked if he was teasing her this time, as she might have forgotten the time he teased her at Lingshuiju.
At this time, Yuanshan just happened to walk over.
Yuan Wanru's face was a little depressed: "Next time, don't get so close to me. It will have a bad influence."
Lu Jiangnian raised the corners of his eyes: "I'm sorry, I can't obey your order."
"Outside, I can restrain myself from kissing you, but how can I bear to stay away from you?"
His eyes were deep and locked on her tightly, as if she was the only one left in the world, his gaze was focused and deep.
Yuan Wanru felt uncomfortable when he looked at her. If they were not outside, she was afraid that he would force her to do whatever he wanted.
Her heart burned and she walked away with a red face.
Yuanshan took them for a walk. The newly selected tomb site was higher than the previous one and was surrounded by mountains and rivers.
Yuan Wanru didn't understand Feng Shui, but she thought it was pretty good. Lu Jiangnian had a rough understanding of it and said it was okay.
Yuanshan explained: "Before, our ancestors chose that hillside as the burial place for our ancestors, and the Feng Shui master also said it was a good place."
“I didn’t expect it to be flooded.”
"This time, I chose a high place on purpose to avoid this accident from happening again."
Since Yuan Wanru has no objection, then this matter is settled.
September 8th is coming soon.
The relocation of ancestral tombs was a big event in the village. Most of the villagers came, and the hillside was crowded with people and noisy.
Because every household needs to take care of their own graves, even though there are many people, they are all busy with their own things.
Because Yuan Wanru had said in advance that she wanted to open the coffin and put old things in, Yuan Shan invited a Taoist priest to perform a ritual in advance.
After everything was settled, the coffins of Yuanchuan and his wife were lifted up separately.
Yuan Shan was worried that Yuan Wanru would be scared when she saw the bones after the coffin was opened, so he suggested that he help put the old things away.
Yuan Wanru didn't care about these things. They were just skeletons. She had seen them before.
Lu Jiangnian knew that she was very brave and did not try to dissuade her.
After the coffin was opened, the old man in charge was horrified: "How could this happen..."
Yuanshan walked over and took a look, and his face changed drastically: "Why, it's empty!"
empty?
Yuan Wanru and Lu Jiangnian walked over and found that there were only clothes in Zhou Jin's coffin, and no bones at all.
This is an empty coffin!
"Second Uncle, what's going on?"
Yuan Shan stared at the coffin blankly for a long time before he uttered a word: "I don't know what's going on."
That year, my eldest brother suddenly wrote to me, saying that my eldest sister-in-law had an acute illness and died.
Not long after, the eldest brother brought the coffin back to his hometown, chose a grave site and buried his eldest sister-in-law, and told him that if he passed away in the future, he should bury the couple together.
For so many years, Yuanshan has been guarding his brother and sister-in-law's tomb and has never slacked off.
The current situation can only mean one thing, that is, the coffin that Yuanchuan sent back to his hometown was empty.
In other words, Zhou Jin might not be dead at all.
The Yuan family's grandfather said calmly, "Don't make this matter public."
Lu Jiangnian took out a silver ingot and handed it to the man who opened the coffin: "I don't want to hear any rumors outside about what happened today."
Seeing Lu Jiangnian's aura, the man almost didn't dare to ask for the money.
"I... understand. Don't worry."
Although everyone is afraid of their profession, they often get exposed to other people's private affairs. They have a good sense of what should be said and what should not be said.
Everything after that will proceed as usual.
The Yuan family also didn't understand Yuan Chuan's intention, so they kept the matter a secret.
After a busy day, we finally completed the relocation of the grave.
At night, Yuan Wanru lay in bed, still thinking about the empty coffin. Lu Jiangnian came back from bathing, looked at her and asked, "Your mother may not be dead. Do you want to look for her? If so, I will send someone to look for her right away."
