The voices behind them grew softer and softer until they could no longer be heard.
Ji Zi's expression darkened. It seemed like there were some things that she did not know.
Madam Xiao had lost her mind, and the doctor had already confirmed that there was no cure. Ji Yang used the excuse of resting to send her to another courtyard to rest, but the next day, there were some rumors on the streets of Jingdou.
Ji Manor's Furen seduced a servant and did not abide by her womanly principles. She was divorced by Sir Ji and was even beaten up until she was a fool. In order to settle the matter, Sir Ji sent her to a courtyard and locked her up.
Once these rumors came out, they spread like wildfire through the streets of the capital. Ji Yang was summoned to the palace, and when he returned, his temples were white.
Ji Zi did not do anything these few days. He only listened to Bai Fei's reports on the dirty and hidden matters of the Ji Manor.
In the end, she sorted out a person.
Mother Xin had always served Liu-shi. However, Liu-shi died two years later, and she also died of illness. Mother Xin had no relatives, not even two distant cousins. If she wanted to ask anything, she couldn't even find anyone.
The clue was cut off here. Ji Zi leaned back on the red wood chair, his fingers tapping on the armrest, thinking about it for a while.
An hour later, she called Bai Fei in and told him to come back as soon as possible.
Bai Fei was very efficient. Before noon, he had already found out the news." Miss, Mother Xin's tomb is in the funeral garden outside the city. Mother Xin seemed to know that she was about to die, so she bought a memorial tablet in the funeral garden a month in advance. She even persuaded a few servants in the Ji residence who were short of money to collect her body when she died. Also, remember that she must be buried in the place she bought in the funeral garden. It cannot be shifted or changed.”
It couldn't be shifted or replaced. The requirements were quite special.
Ji Zi stood up and tidied his sleeves. He said indifferently," Qianyan, go and arrange the carriage."”
"Yes."
The carriage traveled for half a day and only left the city when it was almost night. It was almost dark and they finally arrived at the funeral garden.
There were workers in the Yiyuan who knew that they were here to pay their respects to their ancestors, but it was too late now, so they called them to stay.
After the worker left, Bai Fei followed him to the gatehouse and pressed the worker's sleeping acupoint before returning." Miss, it's done."”
"Yes." " Understood!" Ji Zi responded softly, his gaze cast towards the huge cemetery." Where's the shovel?”
"In the carriage. I'm going to get it.”
Before it was time to die, the sound of shovels being swung could be heard in the Yiyuan in the suburbs. The three of them dug for an hour before they finally found the coffin…
Qian Yan was a little scared." Miss, are we really going to pry open the coffin?”
"If we don't pry it open, how would we know what Mother Xin hid back then? She served my mother, and my mother's death was full of suspicious points.”
" But it might not be in a coffin. This…" Qian Yan had seen dead people before and had killed people before. However, the thought of a skeleton that had been buried for nearly ten years made her hair stand on end.
Ji Zi glanced at her." If you're afraid, go outside first."”
Qian Yan stammered, but in the end, she mustered up her courage and stayed.
Bai Fei pried open the lid of the coffin. Immediately, a rotten smell came out from inside. Qian Yan's face turned pale, and she turned around, covering her mouth and almost puking.
Ji Zi gave her a heart-clearing pill and used the Breath Holding Technique to squat down to take a look.
The situation in the coffin was indeed very bad. The bones of Mother Xin were black and smelly. She used a wooden stick to pick up the clothes on them, but after searching for fifteen minutes, she still could not find anything.
"It seems that the investigation was wrong. Mom really doesn't know anything about this letter.”
Ji Zi didn't think so, but now that it was the truth, she didn't want to disturb the ancestors anymore. She ordered Bai Fei to nail the coffin and bury it back. Let's call it a night.
However, when Bai Fei lifted the coffin lid, he bumped into the coffin and made a cracking sound.
The sound was crisp and fleeting.
Ji Zi's eyes lit up. He stared at the coffin lid and ordered," Bai Fei, lay the lid flat.”
Bai Fei put it away.
Ji Zi squatted down and touched it with his hand. This wood was made of high-quality mahogany. The wood was really heavy and was very good. She knocked on the lid with her hand and felt different parts of the lid. Finally, she found a small lock on the flip button in the corner.
She pressed down on the lock, and with a crack, a small hole slowly opened in the middle of the coffin lid. Inside was a small flat box.
He took out the box. Inside was a metal plate and a piece of paper.
The next day, on the return carriage, Ji Zi repeatedly looked at the metal plate in his hand. This metal plate looked ordinary, and there was even rust on it. It should not be worth much, but this thing was hidden by Xin's mother in such a tricky way. Why?
After looking at it for a while, she picked up the note again.
The note had been there for some time. The paper had turned yellow, and the words inside were blurry. There was only one line on it…The sky was sparse.
What was the meaning of this? It was neither a poem nor a poem. It seemed to have some meaning.
Ji Zi looked at it for a long time and also could not make out what it was. Instead, it was the azure cloud pattern on the back of that piece of paper that made her feel familiar.
But where had he seen her before?
At this moment, in the secret room of the Yunhe Inn on the main street of Jingdou, Yuchi Yan heard Qing Xiao's report and grunted. She raised her hand to write a letter and handed it to him." Hand it over. Before the wedding ceremony, deliver it to the Prince Regent."”
Qing Huo nodded and quickly left.
After he left, Yuchi Yan was the only one left in the secret room.
Yuchi Yan got up and changed her medicine. She felt that her clothes were a little dirty, so she changed her clothes as well.
He took off his clothes, revealing his lean upper body. He reached for his clothes at the end of the bed. Just as he turned around, a birthmark with a blue cloud pattern on his back was faintly discernible.
If Ji Zi saw it, he would definitely be very familiar with it.
This was exactly the same as the lines on the back of the paper.
The night sky was like a huge net that enveloped the area. The silence of the night revealed a slight chill. At this moment, two white figures mysteriously shuttled out from a city wall. After which, they quickly arrived at the largest brothel in the capital. Blooming Flowers Pavilion was a name that Ji Zi had personally named when he was in the limelight. If people in the modern world knew about it, they would definitely say that she had plagiarized the name.
Looking at the golden words " Blooming Flowers Pavilion ", it complemented each other quite well in the bustling capital. Coupled with the coquettish old brothel lady at the door, it seemed to highlight the extravagance of the music inside.
"Young miss…g-gongzi, are we really going in?”
At the entrance of Blooming Flowers Brothel, a man dressed in white stood elegantly at the door. His facial features were as exquisite as a sculpture, lying flat on his perfectly chiseled face. There was a faint and gentle smile on his face. Even in the dark of the night, it could instantly make people's eyes light up.
Beside him stood a manservant. However, the manservant's face could be considered to be unusually delicate, but there was still a hint of worry on her face.
