Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Li Lianhua: "He is the son of the current Minister of the Imperial Secretariat, and is in charge of the Inspectorate."

Master Guo: "My dealings with my servants are minor matters, not under the jurisdiction of the Supervisory Department!"

Fang Duobing drew his sword: "I have always been very interested in strange cases. I heard that your bride died mysteriously, so I came here to investigate."

Li Lianhua: "This time it could be an accident, but if it happens two or three times, there will definitely be a problem, so we must find out the truth!"

Having no other option, Master Guo had to spare the maid for the time being.

I led them inside, served them tea, and then told them the truth.

Ivia sat down beside Li Lianhua, took a sip of her tea, and felt a little stuffy. She told Li Lianhua that she was going to go outside for a walk.

I already know those things, so I don't want to listen.

Xiao Qi followed her outside: "Host, these lotus flowers don't even look clean!"

Ivy: "If everyone knew that this was made by soaking corpses, no one would come to see it."

Xiao Qi: "That Master Guo is really despicable! He said that the maid just now defiled Lotus, does he think that a corpse isn't defiled either!"

Ivia: "It's just self-deception!"

After strolling around for a while, Li Lianhua and Fang Duobing came out.

Li Lianhua: "We'll stay at Lianhua Village for now, and leave after we've found out everything."

Ivia had no objection: "Sure."

Li Lianhua: "Let's go to our accommodation first!"

The three followed the servants to the rooms where they were to stay.

Fang Duobing glanced at his room and then came to find them.

Li Lianhua: "Master Guo wasn't telling the truth just now!"

Fang Duobing: "Hmm, he's definitely hiding something!"

Ivy: "The way he cultivates these lotus flowers is something that ordinary people can't do, so he's definitely not a good person."

Li Lianhua looked at her: "By the way, when you came in just now, you said that the method of growing lotus flowers is very special. Do you know how to grow them?"

Ivia nodded: "These lotus flowers were all grown using corpses."

Fang Duobing's expression changed: "What!"

Li Lianhua's expression remained unchanged: "Do you remember what the people at the next table said during dinner?"

Fang Duobing thought for a moment, then clapped his hands and said, "No wonder, when we were eating, those people said that corpses often went missing. It turns out that Master Guo was using the corpses to grow lotus flowers!"

Li Lianhua: "But this method must have been devised by someone who is knowledgeable in the field."

Fang Duobing: "That idea is too malicious!"

Ivia nodded: "Indeed vicious."

Li Lianhua analyzed: "These three brides all died in the lotus pond while wearing their wedding dresses, and they all said that the wedding dresses killed them. So what did these wedding dresses look like?"

Fang Duobing suggested, "Why don't we go take a look tonight?"

Ivia thought that the wedding dress was also key to solving the case, so she nodded: "Okay, we'll go take a look tonight."

Li Lianhua had no objection.

That night, the three men went to the room where the bride had stayed.

Touching the wedding dress, Li Lianhua said, "This is no wedding dress, it's a mountain of silver, it must weigh dozens of pounds!"

Fang Duobing: "Don't you understand? This is a pomegranate skirt!"

Ivia glanced at the two of them and said, "Which of you two should try it on? Isn't it said that wedding dresses are murderous? Maybe if you wear one, the murderer will appear!"

Fang Duobing and Li Lianhua exchanged a glance: "Master, to be fair, let's play rock-paper-scissors!"

Li Lianhua: "You've already called me master, how can you not treat an old man like me!"

Fang Duobing: "Uh..."

In the end, Fang Duobing put it on, and Ivy looked at it and wanted to laugh.

Xiao Qi: "Host, the male lead has escaped death!"

Ivy: "Hahaha."

They discovered the mystery of the bride falling into the water by looking at her wedding dress.

They also caught the culprit who caused the bride to fall into the water—the insane younger brother of Master Guo.

Of course, this is just the surface reason; things are definitely not that simple.

On the way back, Fang Duobing said, "Why does Guo Kun go crazy every time the bride looks in the mirror? And what about the placement of the Shoushan stone?"

Li Lianhua: "It seems that Guo Kun keeps repeating what others say. Today in the hall, he kept repeating what Master Guo and Young Master Guo said."

Ivy: "So he would come over every time the bride looked in the mirror. Who was he imitating in the first place? The death of the first bride should be the key."

Fang Duobing nodded: "What Master's wife said is right."

Ivia: "You guys go check tomorrow. I'm planning to go out shopping and buy some things."

Li Lianhua: "I'll go with you!"

Ivy: "No need, you guys go investigate the case, I'll take Xiao Qi with me."

Seeing her insistence, Li Lianhua had no choice but to compromise: "Then be careful!"

Ivia: "Don't worry, ordinary people can't hurt me."

She's being modest by saying that; it means no one here can hurt her.

Li Lianhua nodded and led her back to their room.

After asking someone to bring water to wash up and go to bed, Li Lianhua held Aivia tightly.

Ivy teased him, "Want to be sucked blood again?"

Li Lianhua didn't say anything, but showed it through her actions.

The elegant and exquisite wooden bed swayed slightly, and a faint smell of blood wafted through the room.

……

When Ivy woke up the next day, Li Lianhua had already left.

She had breakfast delivered, and after eating, she took Xiao Qi to the street.

Xiao Qi: "Host, what do you want to buy?"

Ivy: "I'll buy everything—food, household items, clothes, and pretty things."

Xiao Qi looked at the delicious food on both sides of the street and swallowed hard: "Let's try some of this first!"

Ivy: "I just ate, so I'm not hungry right now. If you want to eat, I'll buy you some."

Xiao Qi: "Thank you, host."

After buying some snacks for Xiaoqi, Ivy decided to go look at clothes first.

She picked a store that looked nice and went inside.

"Miss, what do you need?" The waiter came forward to greet her.

Ivy: "Get me some nice clothes, both men's and women's, and all of them must be of the best quality."

Upon hearing this, the waiter's smile became even more enthusiastic.

"Okay, please wait a moment and look at the others first. I'll go get them for you right away."

Ivia nodded and looked at the clothes hanging in the store.

After waiting for a while, the waiter came out with a middle-aged woman dressed as a shopkeeper, each carrying several sets of clothes.

"Miss, what do you think of these? They're all new styles from the store, and the materials used are the best."

Ivia touched it and said, "Not bad."

Then she pointed to two women's outfits, one red and one dark purple, and then to two men's outfits, one cyan and one white.

"I'll take all of these, and also the dark green and black ones on the wall."

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper smiled broadly and said, "Alright, miss, please wait a moment, I'll wrap it up for you right away."

After receiving the wrapped clothes, Ivia readily paid for them.

After being warmly seen off by the shopkeeper and his staff, I left the shop.

Then we went to a jewelry store next door.

The jewelry store owner was a middle-aged man who was using an abacus at the counter. When he saw Ivy enter, he walked over to her.
