The empress is pregnant, and the emperor's incense continues

Does this mean you don’t want to leave and want to continue crying?

Xie Jinbao had a headache, especially when he heard that Xie Nanan's soul was coming to take a look, he was so scared that he almost fainted.

"Sister-in-law, the seventh day has passed. Brother will not come. If you are worried, we can leave one person behind."

It was impossible for him to stay. Xie Chenyi was not close to them, so he certainly could not stay either. As for Meng Wenyao, as the eldest sister-in-law, she naturally could not be left alone.

Only Xie Ruxue was left. He said coldly, "Xue'er, you stay here to guard the body. If Big Brother comes back and sees you, he will feel much better. Big Brother has loved you the most since you were a child. It is your duty to guard Big Brother."

Xie Ruxue was dumbfounded. She didn't expect that she would be the only one left in the end. Of course she would not stay obediently. She was almost starving to death.

"Third brother, why don't we go to eat in batches? My sister-in-law and I will go first, and you and second brother will come later. This way, there will always be someone to watch over the eldest brother."

Meng Wenyao immediately shook her head and retorted, "Fourth sister, you are so sensible. You just said you had no appetite, but now you are willing to accompany us despite your grief in order to let everyone eat. How can we force you? At this time, you want to spend more time with the eldest master. We all understand. Don't worry, we will be back soon."

After saying that, Meng Wenyao left without looking back. Xie Chenyi followed her, holding back his smile. Xie Jinbao glared at Xie Ruxue again and said angrily, "Just stay here."

After a simple meal, everyone returned to the mourning hall. Xie Jinbao thought that there were many ancestral tablets in the ancestral temple. What if one of the ancestors was displeased with him for killing Xie Nanping and came out to cause trouble for him?

"Sister-in-law, second brother, please pray for your brother at Jinfu Temple tomorrow. I'll go over and see if there's anything you haven't prepared yet."

Meng Wen Yao nodded. She had completely figured out Ma Yang's activities in the past few days. It seemed that after Xie Nanan's death, Xie Jinbao and Ma Yang had no contact again. She had not found any evidence between them yet.

Now that Xie Jinbao is going to act alone, it is a good time for her to investigate Xie Jinbao's privacy.

"Thank you for your hard work, Third Brother."

When they arrived at the mourning hall, Xie Ruxue saw that everyone had eaten their fill, while she was almost fainting from hunger. She glared at Meng Wen Yao fiercely and found an excuse to leave.

She made her way around to the kitchen, thinking she would finally get something to eat, and found it completely empty.

"Nothing to eat?"

Xie Ruxue was shocked and grabbed the kitchen manager to teach him a lesson. The manager quickly begged for mercy: "Fourth Miss, everyone is really hungry today, and all the food we prepared has been eaten. If you want to eat something, I will make it for you now."

Even though she wanted to beat up the kitchen manager, Xie Ruxue also knew that she had to fill her stomach. After giving orders, she returned to the mourning hall to wait again in a depressed mood.

There were only Meng Wen Yao and Xie Chen Yi in the mourning hall. Meng Wen Yao saw that the male protagonist of the strategy was just opposite her, but unfortunately, they were now sister-in-law and brother-in-law, so it was not easy for them to communicate.

With Xie Nanan's coffin sandwiched in the middle, Meng Wen Yao could only sigh in despair as she looked across.

Perhaps it was her continuous sighs that finally caught Xie Chenyi's attention, and he actually took the initiative to speak: "Sister-in-law, I am sorry for your loss."

The word "sister-in-law" made Meng Wen Yao swallow the words that were about to come out of her mouth, and she could only nod with tears in her eyes.

"Thank you, Second Young Master."

Just when Meng Wenyao thought that the two of them would have some communication when they were not together, Xie Chenyi said again: "If you encounter any problems in the future, you can always look for your mother. She is not the kind of person who can't tell good from bad."

This is to remind Meng Wen Yao that the princess hates Concubine Bao, but won’t it implicate her?

Meng Wen Yao stopped crying and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Second Young Master, do you also think that the eldest young master really committed suicide?"

Xie Chenyi was panicked, fearing that Meng Wenyao would think it was the princess who did it. If that happened, the two of them would be on opposite sides of each other in the future.

He said calmly, "I've only been back for a few days, and I'm not familiar with the things going on at home. Did my sister-in-law find out anything?"

If Meng Wen Yao wanted to find something to hold against Xie Jinbao and Ma Yang, she could naturally ask the princess for help in the inner house. But now that Xie Jinbao had gone to Jinfu Temple, although she had sent a servant to follow him, Xie Chenyi still had more manpower.

Moreover, if they really find any evidence against Xie Jinbao, and if Xie Chenyi comes forward to expose it, Meng Wenyao can also hide in the dark and watch the fight.

She shook her head slowly, and said in surprise, "I didn't find anything. You may have heard that when I got married, the Third Young Master took the place of the First Young Master to marry and attend the wedding ceremony. After entering the bridal chamber, the First Young Master did not go over to lift the veil. I was a little worried, so I wanted to ask the maid to go over and see what was going on. The maid said that she seemed to have seen the Third Young Master go to the First Young Master's courtyard. Since the maid is not familiar with the palace, it is possible that she was wrong."

The alertness developed from years of military service made Xie Chenyi instantly think of the most unlikely thing. Everyone thought that the person who killed Xie Nanan must be the enemy of Concubine Bao, and never thought that it might be Xie Jinbao. After all, they were brothers from the same mother.

But there is only one position of the Crown Prince. Xie Chenyi wants it, but Xie Jinbao doesn’t want it too?

If it was really done by Xie Jinbao, then this plan was really vicious. Not only did it eliminate a strong competitor, but it also allowed Concubine Bao to bite the princess and Xie Chenyi in the future, and he just happened to be the one who benefited.

Thinking of this, Xie Chenyi suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. The little bully who had been so arrogant since childhood and seemed to have no brains, would actually resort to such tricks when he grew up.

His expression gradually became serious, and he said seriously: "After all, this is my eldest brother's ritual, and I can't let my third brother handle tomorrow's affairs alone. I will send a few people over to help."

Meng Wenyao nodded with a smile. It seemed that Xie Chenyi was still willing to believe her. She said, "But the eldest and third sons are from the same mother. Perhaps the eldest son does not want the second son to interfere, so the second son should be more cautious when sending people."

"What the eldest sister-in-law said is true. I will send someone to take a look first. If the third brother can handle it, my people will definitely not disturb the third brother."

The two people who had a tacit understanding smiled at each other, which happened to be seen by Xie Ruxue who had just returned. She immediately got furious.

"Ms. Meng, my elder brother's body is still warm, and you are actually here talking and laughing with another man. How can you be so uneducated!"

"presumptuous!"

Before Meng Wen Yao could say anything, Xie Chenyi immediately started to scold her. He stood up and the pressure from his whole body continued to attack Xie Ruxue.

"I just told you a few things about my eldest brother when he was young, and my eldest sister-in-law thought it was interesting. How could you come up with such a vicious idea? Are you worthy of my dead eldest brother?"

Xie Ruxue was usually a little afraid of her second brother. She originally thought that her second brother, who was always aloof, would not interfere in matters between women, so she thought about verbally insulting Meng Wen Yao.
