But why did he die?
Si Muran was really puzzled by this question. However, this might not be a bad thing. If she was 'dead', no one would be able to track her down. At most, she would just wear a human skin mask for the rest of her life. Perhaps after everything calmed down, after ten or twenty years, no one would remember her. At that time, her appearance would also change.
No matter who created the illusion that she was dead, Si Muran felt that the person had done her a great favor after she thought it through. Besides, there probably wouldn't be many people who would be able to attend her funeral.
Si Muran was prepared to leave with the mentality of starting over again, but when she turned around, she saw Pei Chenshuo's exclusive carriage. She subconsciously hid behind the stone lion at the entrance of the Minister's residence, but she did not expect that the carriage was also parked here. If Si Muran escaped now, she would definitely be caught red-handed, so she could only wait.
There was a faint conversation coming from the carriage. One of them was Pei Chenshuo, and the other was a woman. The voices sounded familiar, and Si Muran immediately had a candidate in mind.
Pei Chenshuo was indeed in the same carriage as a woman, but the woman was wearing a veil, so he could not tell who it was.
"Do you believe that woman is really dead?”Judging from the voice, this woman was Concubine Ning. When she heard that Pei Chenshuo was coming to the Minister's residence, it was obvious that he was here for that b * tch, Si Muran. Hence, she did not hesitate to take the risk to leave the palace and even came to the Minister's residence with Pei Chenshuo.
Si Muran is indeed dead." Pei Chenshuo's tone was strange when he said this, but Si Muran could not pinpoint what was wrong. It was not as easy as she had imagined. Didn't he send someone to kill her? Why are you pretending to be innocent at this time?
"Have you ever thought that she might have faked her death? She would do anything to escape.”Concubine Ning was fanning the flames without any scruples. She could not stand by Pei Chenshuo's side openly, so she would eliminate all the women around him one by one.
"I saw her corpse." Pei Chenshuo had once thought of this possibility, but he had rejected it personally.
Pei Chenshuo had not given up searching for Si Muran ever since she went missing. He had seen her in the market, but the man beside her had shot him with a hidden weapon. By the time he woke up, the two of them had already disappeared without a trace.
Until he received a tip-off that a ruined temple outside the city had been burned to ashes. The question was, why would a ruined temple catch fire for no reason? This gave Pei Chenshuo a bad feeling. As expected, his feeling came true.
By the time Pei Chenshuo arrived, the fire had almost destroyed the entire temple. There were a few charred bodies lying in the middle of the temple, including a female corpse.
Initially, he wasn't sure if the female corpse was Si Muran. However, when he saw the accessory on the corpse, it was something that miser Si Muran treasured. She had spent money to make it herself. Such a design should be unique. Moreover, the height and body shape of the female corpse were extremely similar to Si Muran's. He had no choice but to believe that Si Muran was dead.
Concubine Ning was still skeptical about this matter, so she said," That woman has read the 'Heavenly Works Canon.' Perhaps there is a way to fake death in the Canon. Otherwise, how could things be so coincidental?”
Si Muran was also suspicious. She was clearly squatting here alive, so why did Pei Chenshuo say that he saw her corpse? When she left through the tunnel, there were no more corpses in the ruined temple, let alone a female corpse.
Si Muran felt that she must have overlooked something. Things might not be as simple as they were now. There must be a bigger conspiracy behind this.
Si Muran broke out in a cold sweat from her own assumption. She wanted to leave this place as soon as possible, but who knew that more haste, less speed. She moved slightly and alerted Pei Chenshuo who was in the carriage. Before she could take a step, Pei Chenshuo grabbed her wrist.
Pei Chenshuo's cold eyes sized up the village girl in front of him. He scolded her sternly," Who are you? Why are you here?"
Si Muran widened her eyes and tried her best to act as if she did not know anything. She waved her hands and shouted at Pei Chenshuo," Let go of me, let go of me!"”If she was captured by him again, she could imagine her tragic fate in the future.
Pei Chenshuo frowned, wondering where this abnormal guy came from. He looked like a fool.
Si Muran saw that Pei Chenshuo had no intention of letting go, so she took a big bite out of his wrist and said," I let you touch me, what right do you have to touch me?!"”
Pei Chenshuo retracted his hand in pain. Si Muran took the opportunity to run away. Her speed did not seem like that of a person who had just recovered from a sprain.
Concubine Ning watched the whole process from the carriage. She naturally did not care about a village girl. From her appearance, it was obvious that she had not seen much of the world. No one in the entire Heaven's Pole would dare to treat Pei Chenshuo like this. She was really stupid.
Pei Chenshuo did not care about this little episode. He entered the Minister's residence alone and left Concubine Ning in the carriage. It was indeed not suitable for her to appear here.
When Pei Chenshuo stepped into the Minister's residence, he could clearly feel that other than the whiteness in his eyes, he could not feel any sadness. Only Si Muran's nanny was sobbing beside the coffin. How could she not be sad to see her daughter die?
Minister Si's sharp eyes spotted Pei Chenshuo's appearance. He bent over and walked towards him, but who knew that Pei Chenshuo would not even bother with him. Si Muran had already passed away, and Minister Si was nothing in his eyes.
Minister Si looked a little embarrassed, but this was nothing to the old fox in the officialdom. Pei Chenshuo was just too sad because of Si Muran's death.
However, Si Muran, that wretched girl, died at the wrong time. At least she had to wait until she entered the residence and became Pei Chenshuo's concubine before she died. She had no name when she died, and in the end, she was still the daughter of the Si family.
Pei Chenshuo walked to Si Muran's coffin. After the fire, no one could see her face again. However, Pei Chenshuo realized that Si Muran's voice and smile were imprinted in his mind. He did not even need to think about it, she appeared there naturally.
Pei Chenshuo felt strange about his change and almost fled from the Minister's residence. Concubine Ning noticed that his expression was not too good, but she did not ask further.
Si Muran did not know how far she had run. It seemed that Pei Chenshuo did not send anyone to chase after her. That was right, a nobody like her was not worthy of Pei Chenshuo's attention. This made Si Muran heave a sigh of relief.
He could not go back to the Minister's Mansion now, no matter what. Otherwise, he was afraid that there would really be a scene of a corpse coming back to life. At that time, he did not know who to act for.
Si Muran walked aimlessly on the street, her stomach rumbling. She felt like she hadn't eaten for a long time, but she still didn't have a single cent in her pocket.
She really didn't know how long it would take for her to earn enough money to eat in ancient times. Why didn't she think of bringing money with her when she left with Tianxuan?
Thinking of Tianxuan, Pei Chenshuo must have found his body too. He died to protect her, but she could not take his body away from there. Si Muran felt guilty. If there was another life, she would definitely repay Tianxuan.
The aroma of the food interrupted Si Muran's inner world. Her stomach was empty, and she felt even hungrier. She seemed to be so weak that she could barely walk.
" Woo…" A child's cry was heard. It was like a demonic sound that pierced Si Muran's ears, causing her to suddenly wake up.
Si Muran looked towards the source of the sound and realized that it was a pair of parents who had tried to feed their child medicine, but the child refused to take it. Judging from the way the child was trembling, it was most likely that he had caught a cold, but he still refused to take the medicine. Even the doctor could not do anything about it. The whole family was frozen in place, extremely anxious.
Si Muran looked at the child's pitiful appearance and her motherly instincts flooded her as she strode over.
"Eldest Brother, Eldest Sister-in-law, I might have a way to make the child take the medicine.”Si Muran tried her best to show her goodwill. She definitely had no ulterior motives.
The couple looked at each other and then at Si Muran. This girl didn't look like a bad person. Why don't they let her try?
Si Muran saw that the child's parents had nodded in agreement, so she discussed with the doctor in the hospital about borrowing the place where the medicine was brewed. The doctor must have been annoyed by the child's crying, so his attitude towards Si Muran wasn't very good. However, he still agreed to Si Muran's method.
Si Muran searched for recipes in the Encyclopedia and found a recipe that had the same effect as the bowl of medicine. It turned out that it could be made into spicy soup.
Si Muran was also very good at her work. She quickly made a bowl of spicy soup. The soup was rich in flavor and bright in color. The child smelled the fragrance and tasted a spoonful before Si Muran could introduce it. In the end, the subsequent process could not be stopped at all. The bowl of spicy soup was instantly finished. The child looked at Si Muran with an expression of wanting more.
"Eldest Brother, Eldest Sister-in-law, hold the child and let him sweat.”Si Muran experienced the feeling of being a doctor. It was better to save a life than to build a seven-story pagoda.
The couple naturally did as they were told. Not long after the child perspired, he felt his entire body relax. His face was also much ruddy, and he seemed to be in a better mental state.
"Miss, thank you for saving our son.”The child's mother grabbed Si Muran's hand. The gratitude in her eyes could not be expressed with words, so she said," Miss, if you don't mind, I would like to invite you to my humble abode for dinner."”
Si Muran nodded. Of course, she wouldn't decline. It would be best if there was food to eat!# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:111420184: 24PM #Cancel Review All: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 55PM #
