The mother-in-law said that Li Renxun's family was considered rich in the village, not to mention one of the best, but it was also ranked high.

Li Renxun had several daughters, but only one son. He only married this year when he was in his mid-twenties.

This is very strange.

People in this era get married early, and there are many people who are fifteen or sixteen years old. Unless they are extremely poor, even if they are a little ugly, they will not be able to find a wife in their mid-twenties.

Ye Caitang asked with interest: "Why is that?"

The mother-in-law whispered softly: "I heard... he can't do it."

Xia Yue almost spit out a mouthful of water.

Ye Caitang said with great interest: "How do you say it? Tell me carefully."

The mother-in-law said: "How can I put this? It's not a good thing, and I can't explain it carefully. The main reason is that their family always hires Doctor Liu from the next village. Doctor Liu happens to be the best at this, so everyone can't help but guess.

.”

It makes sense, and the guess is reasonable.

The mother-in-law said: "The family he was looking for didn't have any other names. It just had one word: poor."

At this moment, Ye Caitang inexplicably felt that the village customs of the Li family were pretty good. Otherwise, if Li Ren had found a son, he would not have married a daughter-in-law at such an old age.

He should have exchanged his money for a wife and come back.

"As for whether they lived well after marriage, no one knows." The mother-in-law suddenly changed her tone: "But the new daughter-in-law died of a sudden illness for no apparent reason. I heard that she died with her eyes closed..."

Ye Caitang said: "Then what should we do now?"

The mother-in-law said: "In the morning, Li Renxun and his family invited Taoist priests, bought many sacrifices, and went to his daughter-in-law's grave to perform a ritual ceremony."

There is nothing wrong with doing things, but Ye Caitang said: "But if you do things in such a hurry, aren't you afraid of being gossiped about?"

The mother-in-law thought about it: "I guess that's what I want to say, but...compared to seeing a ghost, I'd rather be stabbed in the spine."

There's nothing wrong with being rude or disrespectful.

The mother-in-law chatted for a while, and when she saw that the two of them had finished eating, she packed up and went down.

Xia Yue said: "Go and take a look?"

It was definitely necessary to go and see it, but Ye Caitang still felt that it didn't make much sense.

After all, digging a grave and opening a coffin is not about opening the door for inspection, and it is not something that can be done based on suspicion. This is a taboo matter, and neither the government nor the public will support it.

But as the old saying goes.

Come all come!

So Xia Yue and Ye Caitang came to the grave of Li Renxun's daughter-in-law Yu Yanxi.

I regretted it when I arrived at Ye Caitang.

I regretted it when I arrived in Xia Yue.

Unexpectedly, Chu Shijing was also there, leading a small team of about ten people.

Although Ye Caitang had never seen Chu Shijing, after hearing Xia Yue's description yesterday and seeing a group of men and horses wearing armor, she immediately thought of it.

I have never eaten pork but I have seen pigs running away. We have seen many generals in TV and movies. The one wearing the most distinctive clothes must be a senior official.

And Xia Yue's face wasn't looking good either.

Ye Caitang's first thought was to run. If she didn't run now, then later, she immediately took a small step back and planned to apply oil on the soles of her feet.

But Xia Yue grabbed his wrist.

"My lord, let go." Ye Caitang whispered: "Is that person Chu Shijing? Please let me get out of the way."

"You've already seen us, why are you avoiding us?" Xia Yue also whispered: "He has already seen us. Doesn't it seem guilty to avoid us at this time?"

Ye Caitang secretly looked over with the corner of his eye, and sure enough, he saw that Chu Shijing was talking to a local villager, and now he was looking over.

As a general, it is inevitable to lead troops to fight. He is the most vigilant. He can detect the slightest movement around him, let alone two big living people just walked past.

Ye Caitang did feel a little guilty, but when he thought about it, what Xia Yue said was right.

A monk can't hide in a temple if he can hide. He can hide for a while, but he can't hide for a lifetime.

If I don’t see you now, I will always see you again when I return to the capital.

It's better to give it all.

When Ye Caitang thought about it, he felt it was very reasonable.

Change tactics and take risks.

So she gritted her teeth and said, "Your Majesty is right."

Xia Yue was very pleased and was about to comfort her when suddenly Ye Caitang took a step forward and took his arm.

Xia Yue was shocked.

Miss, you, what kind of performance are you doing?

"Let's go." Ye Caitang smiled like a flower: "Sir, you see that young master keeps looking at you. Do you know him?"

This delicate voice gave Xia Yue goosebumps all over her body.

I know that Chu Shijing knows me. But I almost don’t know you anymore. Is this your way to deal with the enemy? It’s really too scary.

But despite Xia Yue's martial arts prowess at this moment, Ye Caitang firmly grabbed his arm with gentle movements, unable to throw it away or break away, so he could only endure it.

Xia Yue put on a very ugly smile and stepped forward to greet him.

He was a little worried that she would be angry if the incident happened suddenly yesterday and he decided to kill it first without discussing it with Ye Caitang in advance.

Now it seems that it won't happen anymore.

When Chu Shijing saw Ye Caitang walking over with Xia Yue on his arm, his face turned a little dark.

Even lovers who love each other, in this era, never cling to each other like this in front of outsiders.

Xia Yue felt that his reputation might be affected to some extent if he went back this time. But Ye Caitang refused to let go, and there was nothing he could do.

He could only smile awkwardly but politely at Chu Shijing.

Chu Shijing didn't know who he wanted to strangle to death more.

He pinched the bridge of his nose in pain and decided to go home and strangle his brother to death. This look would also kill him.

After all these years, you have not been able to choose a rich lady among all the other ladies, but in the end, you have chosen this one.

Ye Caitang saw safety in Chu Shijing's face and eyes, and she glanced at Xia Yue with satisfaction.

Of course, this glance meant something else to Chu Shijing.

I simply can’t see how decent it is!

frivolous!

Xia Yue did not dare to look at Ye Caitang, he felt guilty.

"General Chu." Xia Yue could only pretend to be calm when facing Chu Shijing: "Long time no see."

Chu Shijing clasped his fists: "Long time no see, General Xia. My people didn't bother the general last night, right?"

"Of course not." Xia Yue said with a smile: "But I thought General Chu had some important military affairs to report when he returned to Beijing, and he would come to Beijing overnight. So I didn't expect to see you here."

Chu Shijing said: "Master Xia has misunderstood. He returned to Beijing this time to deal with some private matters."

"Oh." Xia Yue pretended to be surprised and said, "Then... Master Xia is leaving now?"
