Looking at Xie Guangling who was getting married with his bride, Yan Cheng thought about his friend's character, and thought that maybe his friend did not cancel the engagement because he did not want to damage the woman's reputation.
The niece of Marquis Haining has already broken off the engagement once, and to do so a second time would be detrimental to her reputation.
only……
Yan Cheng looked at the bride with a complicated expression as she was helped to stand up after the ceremony. She probably didn't want to marry a husband who was unwilling to marry her, right?
"A Cheng."
A low voice suddenly sounded beside his ear. Yan Cheng, who was distracted, couldn't help but tremble and almost punched someone. Fortunately, he recognized who the voice belonged to in time.
He glanced ahead and saw the bride being taken away, walking towards a less crowded area with Leng Yan, whose robe was miraculously smooth but who didn't know how he had squeezed to the front.
He walked to a corner, looked around to make sure he wouldn't be heard, and then asked quietly, "What did you find?"
"A corpse."
Corpse?
Yan Cheng's eyes widened a little.
Is that corpse the trouble at this wedding?
The identity of the corpse that almost caused the Xie family to get into big trouble must be no simple matter.
Yan Cheng asked in a low voice: "Who is it?"
"Mu Zhao."
“…”
Yan Cheng looked at Leng Yan's calm face, patted his heart, and thought to himself, no wonder the Xie family almost got into big trouble.
Mu Zhao has been missing for three days, and his body suddenly appeared in Xie's house today. It seems like a conspiracy no matter how you look at it.
Who is this Mu Zhao?
The only son of Princess Qingyang, and the only male from the second branch of the Mu family, one of the four major families in Changping.
Changping is the place where the literary style of Daxia is most prosperous. The four major families firmly control the literary context. If the scholars in Changping want to make a name for themselves, they have to rely on the four major families. Therefore, there are many people in the officialdom who have connections with the four major families.
Mu Zhao died, and the bloodline of the second branch of the Mu family was cut off.
Even though Prime Minister Xie was second only to the emperor in the court, he could not afford to offend Princess Qingyang and the Mu family. The former had the emperor's protection, and the latter had the three major families as his kin.
No matter who killed Mu Zhao, he died in the Xie Mansion. If this matter is exposed, Princess Qingyang and the Mu family will definitely not let the Xie family go easily.
Thinking of this, Yan Cheng lit a candle in his heart for the Xie family. Someone died at such a nice wedding, and now they were being troubled by others.
But he quickly extinguished the candle flame.
He would definitely not allow such a thing to happen that would be disadvantageous to Xie Guangling.
By the way, how did the son of the time-traveling girl in the novel solve this problem?
