Before Nanny Wu could react, Yan Ruyu had already walked around behind the table.

There was no master in the mourning hall. What could a maid like her do? Could she stop the princess?

She didn't dare.

But the princess couldn’t see it at all.

Yan Ruyu turned to the table and couldn't help but be surprised.

"Has the coffin lid been closed?"

Mrs. Rong was also surprised when she heard this: "It shouldn't be possible, right? Didn't he just pass away? According to the rules and customs, we have to wait three days to find an auspicious time before nailing the coffin in, closing the lid and then three days before we can take the coffin out and bury it."

The eldest lady also nodded: "Although the customs vary slightly from place to place, they are basically the same. I have never seen a coffin lid closed like this."

Yan Ruyu came out again and looked at Aunt Wu: "What's going on?"

Madam Wu lowered her head and said, "This old slave... This old slave doesn't know either."

Yan Ruyu laughed briefly, "You really don't know? Yu Qing, you said that the lady treated you well. She died strangely and her coffin was closed in a hurry. There must be something fishy about it, but you don't want to tell me the truth."

"Mr. Yu, if Madam Mu's death was really unjust, it is a matter of life and death, and it should be investigated by the government. You should tell the truth."

Madam Cao immediately agreed: "What the princess said is very true. It seems that you want to go to the lobby to talk!"

Nanny Wu was so frightened that she quickly knelt down and said, "Princess, Madams, I dare not!"

"I am really... just a servant, how dare I say anything?"

The eldest lady cleared her throat and said in a gentle tone: "It's not that I'm talking too much. I'm just telling the truth. Don't worry, even if you said it, we won't tell anyone that it was you who said it."

"If you don't tell the truth, it will come to light sooner or later. You will have to tell the truth sooner or later. It's better to tell the truth now so that we can speak for you in the future."

Whether it was coercion or seduction, Nanny Wu could not withstand any of them.

She wiped her tears and whispered, "I don't know this is against the rules, but this is the master's will, how can I disobey?"

"Just now, the master...had an argument with the young lady here, and then he took the young lady back to the courtyard."

So that's why. No wonder the father and daughter were not there. Mu Liangze didn't faint from excessive grief and go to rest, but took his daughter away.

Needless to say, Mu Baodi would have spoken rudely in the mourning hall. Everyone coming and going was a guest, and Mu Liangze still had to maintain his dignity.

"I can understand taking the young lady away, but why do you want to close the coffin?" Yan Ruyu asked.

"The master meant that the lady was young, and her death was painful and... a little strange. He was afraid that it was not good, so he wanted to close the coffin first to avoid any inappropriateness and disturbing the guests."

Yan Ruyu sneered in her heart, something was strange, something was wrong, it was a collision, Mu Liangze was probably thinking that Madam Mu's death was not normal, not only that, he should also know something.

Because he felt guilty and nervous, he was afraid that Madam Mu would turn into a ghost or something. He believed in those strange and supernatural things, so he closed the coffin in a hurry to seek peace of mind.

The eldest lady also felt contemptuous, cursing in her heart, but speaking more amiably: "Since your master thought so, didn't he ask a high monk to come and pray for the lady's soul?"

Nanny Wu thought for a moment and said, "It seems that they want to invite someone. The young lady also said that it's okay to invite someone. It seems that they want to invite the monks from Shenyuan Temple."

Yan Ruyu's heart was slightly moved, but she remained calm on the surface.

It was Shenyuan Temple again, and it was Mu Baodi’s request. What kind of agreement did she reach with that temple in that cave?

As they were talking, Huo Changhe came hurriedly over. When Yan Ruyu saw his look, she knew something had happened.

Put aside your thoughts for a moment and turn around to meet him.

"My lord, what's wrong?"

Before Yan Ruyu could finish her words, Huo Changhe grabbed her wrist.

"Yu'er, let's go."

Yan Ruyu: "??"

I'm totally confused. What's going on?

Before I could ask clearly, Linlang came back.

Linlang was in high spirits, her face flushed, her eyes sparkling, and she was in a completely different state from Huo Changhe.

Yan Ruyu was suspicious and her eyes moved between the two of them.

"Master, let's go."

Yan Ruyu: "??"

The two people are in different situations, but both of them want to leave. What is going on?

She didn't have to think about it, the "situation" came by itself.

Then I heard a burst of wailing outside the courtyard gate, as well as crying and shouting voices complaining.

"Father, you can decide for me, is this still in the Mu Mansion, or is this in our own home?"

"Your daughter was beaten like this by a cheap maid, twice! I really can't swallow this breath. If you don't take care of it for me, I will die!"

There was also anger in Mu Liangze's voice: "How much trouble do you want to cause me before you stop? Whose maid is that? Why did she hit you for no reason?"

"He is from a poor family. How can he be exiled here? How can he be more prominent than our family? No, you have to make the decision for me."

"Otherwise I will do it myself, beat that maid to death, burn down the mourning hall, and make sure no one has an easy life!"

Yan Ruyu looked at Linlang and finally understood where this girl's spirit came from.

It was a call from someone who was beaten up.

However, Yan Ruyu also knew that although Linlang was a little impulsive, she would not hit others for no reason.

This Mu Baodi must have done something to make her angry again.

As they were talking, Mu Liangze and Mu Baodi had already walked through the moon gate into the yard.

Mu Liangze stroked his forehead with one hand and said with a headache: "Didn't I tell you to stay in the yard? Why did you have to come out? If you listened to me, you wouldn't be beaten."

"Humph, this is my own home. I don't care where I go. Do I have to be shy about a cheap girl from another mansion? This is outrageous!"

Mu Liangze wanted to say something, but when he looked up, he saw the people in the mourning hall. He was visibly stunned for a moment, then immediately trotted forward.

Huo Changhe's face was so cold that water seemed to drip out of it, and his eyes were like knives, as if he wanted to stab him a few times.

Although Mu Liangze had never dealt with Huo Changhe and had never had the chance to talk to him, he also knew Huo Changhe.

So many things happened in Youcheng before and after the New Year, and Huo Changhe often showed up in public. Moreover, some time ago, Governor Cao held a banquet for his little grandson, and he also went. Although he was not qualified to sit in the front, he had seen the style of those big shots in front.

The one who impressed me the most was Huo Changhe.

At this moment, he suddenly saw Huo Changhe appear in his house and thought he was dazzled.

I ran over excitedly, not knowing what to say.

Even if he didn't say it, Mu Baodi could.

Mu Baodi strode towards Huo Changhe, and Huo Changhe subconsciously stepped back.

Mu Baodi held Mu Liangze and looked at Huo Changhe: "Dad, he is the marriage that God has given me. He is the man I want to marry!"

The scene fell silent.

Not only Mu Liangze, everyone was stunned.

Yan Ruyu suddenly understood why Huo Changhe had that expression just now and why he was in such a hurry to leave.

Mu Liangze came back to his senses and looked at his daughter in shock: "Do you know what you are talking about? Do you know who he is?"

"Of course I..."

Mu Baodi wanted to say that Huo Changhe really didn't want to hear her talk about "the man given by God", for fear that he would not be able to control himself and strangle her to death.

So, he said in a cold voice: "I am the poor man you just mentioned."
