Who Said I Was a Coquettish Bitch

Xiao Chuan strode towards them with obvious anxiety on his face.

When seeing him for the first time, Bai Chen almost couldn't help showing his feet, but once he knew that this was not that person, even if the face was exactly the same, there would be no big fluctuations.

"My servant has seen the young master." Yuyan bowed and saluted.

"Mother, is she okay?" Xiao Chuan asked again after approaching.

Xiao Lin: "My mother was a little frightened, she just drank the medicine, and my father stayed with her."

"Then I'm relieved." Xiao Chuan let out a long sigh of relief and smiled.

The dimples on his face appeared faintly, and his smile seemed to be able to make people feel the light in the dark night.

Bai Chen lowered his eyes, if it wasn't for this harmless and poisonous smile, he would not have fallen into such a deep-rooted situation in his previous life.

——But once you break free from the shackles and become an outsider, when you look at this smile again, you will feel that there are many deliberately designed things hidden in it.

"Mom is probably already asleep." Xiao Lin said, "Brother, have you just returned home?"

"That's right, I just came back home on errands, and before I reached Tingtao Pavilion, I heard that something happened in my mother's courtyard, so I hurried here." Xiao Chuan sighed a little, "Father's considerate care for mother, us juniors I really can't keep up with flattery, I'll go and have a look, if mother has already fallen asleep, I won't bother you."

Xiao Chuan nodded: "Then let's go first."

"It's so late..." Xiao Chuan glanced at Bai Chen unintentionally, "Where are you going?"

Bai Chen stared straight into the distance, acting as if he didn't notice this vague gaze.

Xiao Lin said: "Go to the lotus pond and have a look."

"Well, I'll visit my mother first." Xiao Chuan bowed his hands and said goodbye.

Xiao Lin replied: "Brother, go slowly."

"Eldest son, go slowly."

Bai Chen followed suit, stopped staying, and continued walking forward with the wheelchair.

——He wanted to go to the lotus pond quickly to see the condition of the corpse, and he knew that Xiao Lin was the same.

Xiao Chuan stopped after walking for a while, then turned his head and looked at the few people who had gone away.

The young man's thin back gradually disappeared into the darkness, but within a few days, he seemed to have become much quieter and more sensible. Along with his mischievousness and willfulness, the focus and... hotness in his eyes disappeared along with him.

Xiao Chuan took out a triangular safety talisman decorated with red silk thread from his belt. He looked at the safety talisman in his hand, and there was a complex look in his eyes that he hadn't noticed.

Then he put the peace talisman back on his waist, and turned to leave.

Bai Chen and Xiao Lin soon came to the lotus pond.

About seven or eight guards of the palace stood guard by the pond with torches, forming a cordon in front of the corpse, and also stopped the maids and women outside.

Most of the onlookers were spectators, talking quietly while watching, only a servant girl who looked only 50 or [-] years old and a [-]-year-old woman were crying very sadly.

Through Xiao Lin's previous "listening to identify people", one can guess that these two are Dongmei, who does chores, and Mrs. Zhao, who is in charge of cleaning.

The flames illuminated the lotus pond quite brightly. The guards with expressionless faces, the two women crying bitterly, and the excited onlookers intertwined into a strange scene that was somewhat indescribable.

"Young Master, Young Madam!" The guard who reported the letter before saw Xiao Lin and immediately saluted.

His energetic voice awakened everyone who was addicted to watching the excitement and who was immersed in grief.

The maids and women who were watching and gossiping immediately shut up, and even the grief-stricken two people stopped crying instantly, hurriedly wiped the tears on their faces with their sleeves, then looked at Xiao Lin together, saluted him in unison.

Bai Chen: ...

So is it because he is too well trained or is Xiao Lin's domineering aura that overwhelmed the audience?

"It's all gone, go back and rest." Xiao Lin didn't reprimand them, and even his tone was always flat.

This was somewhat beyond Bai Chen's expectation, he thought he would teach them a lesson with a dark face.

"Yes, young master."

A woman who seemed to be older agreed, and then beckoned the group of people to leave quietly, very quickly.

The place went quiet.

The guards all showed the expressions of the rest of their lives -- the group of people who couldn't be beaten or scolded finally left.

Xiao Lin asked, "Where's the corpse?"

As soon as his words fell, the guards immediately split into two sides, revealing a road, and the corpse was placed behind.

After walking a few steps, Bai Chen realized that the lotus pond in Wangfei's small courtyard is relatively small, mainly to play a harmonious and beautiful role with other landscapes.

Nuan Chun's body was lying quietly by the lotus pond, her dress was covered with mud and tightly wrapped around her thin body, looking embarrassed and pitiful.

Bai Chen remembered that the girl was not outstanding in appearance, but she had two small dimples when she smiled, and she was a bit cute.

Now her face is also covered with a lot of mud, and her original appearance can no longer be discerned.

Xiao Lin frowned again, he looked up and down Nuan Chun's body, as if he had many doubts.

"I'll take a look at the corpse." Bai Chen reckoned that Xiao Lin wanted to check the corpse, but he was inconvenient, so he offered to check it.

Xiao Lin: "Alright."

"Miss Yuyan, give me the torch."

Yu Yan was stunned for a moment, "Yes, little madam."

Bai Chen took the torch, took two steps forward, and squatted next to Nuan Chun's body.

He first took a general look at the condition of the corpse, and then ordered a guard next to him, "Sit up the corpse."

The guard didn't understand what he was doing, and out of taboo about the corpse, he froze for a moment and didn't respond.

Xiao Lin was a little displeased: "I still don't do it."

The guard standing next to him was much smarter, and quickly pulled him forward, and the two of them worked together to help Nuan Chun's already stiff corpse to sit up.

Holding a torch, Bai Chen took a closer look, took out a handkerchief and roughly wiped off the mud on her face, and observed it carefully.

Not to mention that, he even went around and looked behind the corpse.

Yuyan smacked her tongue secretly, he dared to touch such an unlucky thing as a corpse, and the young master agreed, it was unbelievable.

After a while, Bai Chen got up and said, "It's fine."

The two guards put down the body with relief.

Bai Chen and Xiao Lin exchanged glances, and Xiao Lin told the guards, "Put the body in the west courtyard temporarily, and go to the coffin shop tomorrow to buy a coffin and take her away."

The guard took the order: "Yes."

……

On the way back, Xiao Lin didn't ask any questions, so Bai Chen wisely said nothing.

——Now is indeed not a good place to talk.

They went back to the gate of Songzhu Garden in silence.

Bai Chen let go of the wheelchair, and said to Xiao Lin: "Then I'm going back to Fengyu Building. If your knee swelling subsides tomorrow, you can have the next treatment."

"Okay." Xiao Lin paused, "Thank you."

Before Bai Chen could respond to the veteran cadre's caring tone, Xiao Lin turned the wheelchair and walked inside.

Yuyan hurriedly followed.

... Well, he passed too.

Back to Fengyu Tower, Binger was still waiting for him.

In order to let Binger sleep well, Bai Chen didn't tell her the truth, and after sending Binger to sleep, he also went to bed.

I have to exercise tomorrow morning, nothing is more important than rest.

——Even if he has a lot of discoveries today.

When Bai Chen came to the courtyard ahead of time, he found that Lin Feiyun had already arrived.

Not only Lin Feiyun came, even Xiao Lin was waiting in the courtyard.

Bai Chen understands that this is a serious matter, and today's exercise seems to be postponed.

"Let's go in and talk."

Xiao Lin nodded, and the three entered the hall.

When Bai Chen was exercising, Bing'er was upstairs and would not come down to disturb her, and other servants would not appear at this time, it was a good time to discuss things.

According to the old rules, when the door is closed, Lin Feiyun will let the wind out at the door.

Xiao Lin cut to the chase: "What did you find about Nuan Chun's body?"

"I deduce..." In order to appear less decisive and professional, Bai Chen used a vague word, "Nan Chun may not have committed suicide."

——What is possible, it is not suicide at all.

“How come you see?”

"I took a look at the lotus pond in Wangfei's courtyard, and it's not that deep." Bai Chen said, "There's a layer of accumulated mud underneath. If she wants to commit suicide, it's much more convenient to choose other ways than jumping into the lotus pond."

Xiao Lin: "What if she insists on jumping into the lotus pond?"

"If she insists on choosing this way of death, it's okay, but when she jumps into the lotus pond, people will struggle instinctively. In that case, her mouth and nose will inhale a lot of water and mud. But when I checked her body just now, her face and Although there is mud all over the body, the nostrils are clean."

Bai Chen slowed down, looked at Xiao Lin, "There is no mud at all, what does this mean?"

Xiao Lin thought for a while: "She was thrown in after she died."

The author has something to say: Don't look at Ah Chen's gentleness and easy-going talk, but he is also full of toughness and arrogance in his bones. If he is not 2333% sincere, he will not be moved. Well, the official spoiler ends here~[-]

There is also the little angel's question about acupuncture. Bai Chen said that he remembered the skills of acupuncture and moxibustion when he remembered traveling doctors in the Western Regions.
