"She will commit suicide, she absolutely will!"
At the shooting range, Ye Wanqing cried loudly, no more sad than that day by the river. She had never imagined that the annoying guy who always teased her could be so depressed.
She sympathized with Shen Xu's past as well as her own experience. As a girl, if it was her who faced the bandits that day, she would definitely make the same choice!
Murong Yan's heart was also in turmoil. The way Miss Ye cried with Shen Xu's body was so touching!
In the past, he had no feelings for Shen Xu at all and always regarded him as a smart and naughty younger brother.
But ever since he saw Shen Xu wearing women's clothes that day, his heart has been inexplicably restless, and he even had improper thoughts about him.
If... then the person wearing women's clothing that day must have been Miss Ye, which is why I could always smell the scent of her powder afterwards.
So, that kiss and those intimate actions all happened between him and Miss Ye!
Although she uses Ah Xu's body on the outside, she is a real woman on the inside!
Murong Yan's face flushed red. He reached out to hug her helplessly, his voice returning to its usual gentle tone: "Alright, alright, he will, he will. Don't use Ah Xu's body to cry so unpleasantly. He will be very angry if he sees it."
Ye Wanqing sobbed bitterly. She wiped her tears and snot vigorously, sniffing and speaking haltingly, "We...must...avenge...her...revenge! I...will...definitely...take...her...share...and work hard together...to survive."
"Okay, okay, don't cry anymore." Murong Yan buried her face in his chest and rubbed her hair hard.
Ye Wanqing rested her head on his chest, pounded her fist on his chest, and sobbed, "Why are you so perfunctory? Your Ah Xu is dead, how come you are not sad at all?"
Murong Yan remained silent, his deep eyes looking at the target in the distance.
He saw Chen Xu and Jiang Yu dragging him by his arms, calling him "Brother Yan" and excitedly showing off their masterpiece. When the stars in the dome lit up, his smile was as bright as the stars.
I still remember when I first met him, in order to avoid Fu Yi, he hid under his desk and kept silent, and even stretched out his little hands to steal his cakes. He looked lively and cute.
He is sincere and straightforward, smart and clever, and much better than his younger brothers.
But now, I can never see this brother again.
How can I not be sad!
Murong Yan sighed heavily, patted her on the back, and said in a muffled voice: "Let's find the murderer first."
He let go of Ye Wanqing, bent down to pick up the crossbow on the ground, and carefully wiped the dirt off it with his sleeve.
"In short, my two good sisters are definitely not the murderers. I suspect it is Ye Xueruo or my second mother." Ye Wanqing told Murong Yan her thoughts.
Since the two of them have reached the same front, they naturally have to exchange information.
"Well, I will send people to investigate the Ye Mansion and also go to the outer city to look for clues, including clues about the poison and the inn."
Ye Wanqing grabbed Murong Yan's hand holding the crossbow, as if she placed everything on him. She warned him, "You must be careful."
Murong Yan was slightly stunned, then gently patted the back of her hand and said solemnly, "You too, Ah Xu died for you, and you must live on for him. From now on, you are the Marquis's son, Chen Xu. You must help my brother Xu protect his body and keep this secret."
Ye Wanqing swallowed hard, trying to calm herself down. She raised her red eyes, grabbed Murong Yan's arm and said firmly, "Yes, I will definitely protect her body and all her secrets for her. Her death will not be in vain, and neither will mine. From today on, I am Chen Xu, the prince of the Marquisate. I will take revenge, for her, and for myself!"
"Let's go. Time waits for no one. You have to get into Shen Xu's state as soon as possible. From today on, I will come to give you extra lessons every day and learn everything that Shen Xu knows." Murong Yan held the crossbow in his arms and strode towards the original house.
"Ah?" Ye Wanqing looked at the gleaming crossbow and immediately lost her temper. She could barely learn arithmetic and literacy...
Want her to make a crossbow? Haha, great!
…
Murong Yan took her on a tour of the Jiang Mansion. Although the Jiang Mansion was not as big as the Marquis' Mansion, it had everything.
Shooting range, workshop, blacksmith furnace, material warehouse... it's like moving the Ministry of Works and the Ordnance Battalion back home.
Murong Yan told Ye Wanqing that the Jiang Mansion was the secret research base of the three of them. There were traps and arrays set up in some places near the mansion, so ordinary people could not break in, so they could conduct research in peace.
In addition to the house with a dome and starlight that he had shown her, Murong Yan opened the study in Jiang Yu's backyard. The room was filled with bookshelves, all of which were filled with books.
He said that these were the books that the three of them had read, covering a wide range of topics, and they were all collected on the shelves. If there was anything they didn't understand, they could look through them.
"Have you seen all of this?"
"Yeah, that's about right." Murong Yan pointed to a row of shelves filled with books and said, "This row contains Chen Xu's notes and his drawings. Take a look when you have time and remember as much as you can."
Ye Wanqing felt that her vision had suddenly narrowed a lot. She originally thought that Chen Xu was just like her, just an ordinary aristocratic girl who spent her free time dressing up, drinking tea and chatting. At most, she had learned a few more young master's tricks than her.
But she actually read so many books!
She casually flipped through a notebook written by Shen Xu. The running script was beautiful and neat. She had carefully marked and translated the foreign and ancient characters that she could not understand.
