Ning Wen nodded and said, "It is indeed true. However, few people in Shengjing City knew about this matter at the time. After all, Madam Huang is the Empress's niece, so no one dared to speak of it."
Qi Yuning was disgusted with Jiedushi Huang, who had an affair with the Qin family's daughter while his wife was pregnant. "It really proves the saying that all men in the world are unfaithful!"
Shen Nian sighed softly, looking at the child in her arms, her eyes full of sadness.
Qi Yuning asked, "How did your husband die? Why do they all say that you committed adultery and angered him to death?"
Shen Nian said, "I don't know how my husband died. Ever since I became pregnant with Han'er, he has had a beautiful concubine named Manniang.
Manniang was born in a brothel, and I have always looked down on her. I was also angry that my husband would take such a concubine, so I simply refused to allow my husband to enter my room."
Shen Nian looked down at the soft child in her arms and said, “After the child was born, I was already very satisfied with having Han’er. I only wanted to raise my Han’er well and not let my husband enter my courtyard.
Three days ago, I returned to the courtyard and did not see any servants. When I entered the bedroom, I saw my husband lying on the ground, his body stiff.
My maid and I were startled. A man suddenly emerged from inside, knocked my maid unconscious, and tore my clothes to shreds. Not long after, my wife arrived with her men. They were convinced that I had committed adultery and angered my husband to death...
Because I had indeed kicked my husband out of the room several times, they were certain that I had already had feelings for someone else. I really had not done anything shameless like that. I had only given birth a hundred days earlier, so how could I have committed adultery?
Seeing Shen Nian's tears, Qi Yuning stepped forward to comfort her, "Don't cry, we will definitely give you justice."
Ning Wen supported Chen Nian and said, "Niannian, you must take good care of yourself now."
Chen Nian choked up and said, "Foster mother, I'm not afraid of myself. I've already lost all hope. I'm afraid they'll do something to Han'er. They'll forcibly take Han'er to the blood test, and that man actually said my Han'er is his blood..."
Shen Nian reached out and touched the child's face, feeling extremely sad and grief-stricken.
…
In the mourning hall.
The Huang family has invited monks to come and perform rituals for the deceased.
Lu Ze walked inside and approached the coffin. He took one look at the corpse and preliminarily determined the cause of death.
Lu Ze swirled the Buddhist beads over the corpse and said mysteriously, "Amitabha, Mr. Huang, your son has a deep grudge. I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to reincarnate with this grudge. We need to find the real culprit and bury him with him. Only then can the grudge be dispelled and he can be reincarnated in the underworld."
Huang Tao frowned and looked at Chen Qian. Although Chen Nian was only an adopted daughter of Chen Qian, she was still a girl who was recorded in the genealogy of the Shen family and had changed her surname. His wife had previously said that she would beat Chen Nian to death as compensation for her life, but Huang Tao knew how powerful the Shen family was in Shuofang.
What's more, there is the Ning family.
Huang Tao clenched his hands and said to Chen Qian, "Brother Chen, you also heard what the monk said. My Rui'er's resentment is hard to let go, and the real murderer must be buried with her! That slut Chen Nian must die!"
Chen Qian said: "Brother Huang, my Nian'er can't be the real murderer!"
Huang Tao said angrily, "There are witnesses and evidence. When Chen Nian was having an affair with her adulterer and Rui'er was furious, my wife caught them in the act. Do you still want to make excuses for that bitch?"
"Amitabha." Lu Ze clasped his hands together and said, "Young Master Huang didn't die of anger, but of suffocation due to someone covering his mouth and nose."
Huang Tao frowned and asked, "What did you say?"
Lu Ze pointed at the corpse and said, "Young Master Huang's face is cyanotic, and his lips are purple. If nothing unexpected happened, there would be blood spots in his eyes, and his pupils should also be dilated. I wonder if Young Master Huang was like this when he died?"
"Yes." Huang Tao said, "Isn't this the symptom of being pissed off to death?"
Lu Ze said, "It's hard to be pissed off all of a sudden. There's a difference between dying from suffocation and dying from anger. Suffocation is when blood spots appear in the eyes."
Huang Tao looked at the monk in front of him and felt that he looked more and more familiar. "How can a monk like you know all this?"
Lu Ze clasped his hands together and said, "Before I became a monk, I was a coroner."
Chen Qian also said, "This eminent monk was a famous coroner in Lingzhou City before he became a monk. He has found many murderers by performing autopsies in Lingzhou City. Brother Huang, why don't you give us three days to find the murderer and clear Nian'er's name and give Huang Rui justice."
Huang Tao narrowed his eyes and said, "Okay, then I'll give you three days. After three days, if you can't find the murderer, I will kill Chen Nian and that evil creature!"
Chen Qian also agreed and said, "Okay."
Lu Ze chanted the Buddha's name to Huang Tao, then walked up to the corpse, picked up the corpse's hand, and looked closely at his nails. He smelled an indescribable smell from his nails.
Lu Ze put the stuff from under his fingernails onto the silk handkerchief and handed it to Lu Yun beside him.
Lu Yun didn't want to take it at first, but he still took it while suppressing his nausea.
Huang Tao stepped forward and asked, "What is this?"
Lu Ze said, "We need to investigate carefully to find out. I would like to meet the eldest young lady. Is that convenient?"
Huang Tao said: "It's convenient. Someone take the master to see the eldest young lady."
Huang Fei stepped forward and said, "Dad, I'll take the master with me..."
Huang Tao glared at Huang Fei and said, "Shut up!"
When Lu Ze passed by Huang Fei, he smelled a familiar sweet fragrance. He looked up at Huang Fei and went to Shen Nian's courtyard.
In the Chen Nian courtyard, Qi Yuning saw Lu Ze and Chen Qian coming, walked up to Lu Yun, and looked at him holding a handkerchief with great disgust.
