Li Sisi's expression froze, and her tone was clearly hostile: "What are you doubting?"
Xiao Yunchen's brows relaxed, and he said slowly and gently, "My lady, don't be angry. I just found out something recently. Miss Wen Er may not be the real murderer who killed my sister-in-law."
His voice was neither hurried nor slow, and as if he noticed that she was in a bad mood, his voice became softer and gentler, even with a hint of appeal.
"Now that my sister-in-law is gone, the clues have been cut off from her, so I wanted to ask if you know anything."
Li Sisi was shocked when she heard this, and said bluntly: "Oh, Xiao Yunchen, you really have deep feelings for Wen Luoxin."
She stood up from Xiao Yunchen's legs, facing him, and said in a mocking tone, "Now Nian Nian is dead, and Wen Luoxin is still alive and well! You want to clear Wen Luoxin's name? Okay, then let Nian Nian come back to life?"
Xiao Yunchen's relaxed brows slightly furrowed, and he reached out to pull her back into his arms, explaining in a soft voice, "My wife..."
"Get out! Don't touch me!" Li Sisi waved his hand away, her voice cold and solemn, filled with anger: "Since you trust Wen Luoxin so much, then go find her!"
Xiao Yunchen hurriedly explained: "My lady, please don't misunderstand me. I don't trust her. I just agreed to her request and helped her investigate the matter. If she really did something to harm others, I will naturally deal with it impartially."
Li Sisi said with a hint of disgust, "Who wants you to handle things impartially? Who cares whether you're fair or not?"
Li Sisi grabbed Xiao Yunchen's arm and walked towards the door. She pushed Xiao Yunchen out with all her strength and shouted angrily, "Get out of here! I don't care where you go. Now! I don't want to see you!"
With a "bang", the door closed and was bolted.
Xiao Yunchen stood outside the door and shouted, "Wife? Wife! I won't ask anymore. Let's talk it out. Don't let outsiders cause discord between husband and wife, wife..."
Xiao Yunchen knocked on the door outside the house to explain, but Li Sisi turned a deaf ear.
Li Sisi didn't expect that although what Li Nian did was almost flawless, Xiao Yunchen still found out something.
No! Xiao Yunchen must not be allowed to investigate further! She couldn't stay any longer!
The knocking on the door outside had stopped. I guess Xiao Yunchen had given up struggling and went to the study.
Night had completely fallen, the evening stars and the waning moon hung on the branches, soft light sprinkled in the courtyard, and the entire Xiao Mansion fell into a deep and quiet sleep.
[System, exchange for a suspended dead body] Li Sisi sat on the bed with an expressionless face.
[Okay, now I will eliminate ten years of the host's lifespan and exchange it for a suspended animation body.]
When the system finished speaking, Li Sisi felt something sink beside her. A body wearing the same clothes as hers was lying flat on the bed.
"Oh shit!"
Li Sisi was so scared that she quickly climbed down from the bed without even having time to put on her shoes!
The candlelight in the room was dim, and the flickering flames made the face of the fake flesh-and-blood figure beside him flicker.
The face and body were exactly the same, really exactly the same. Li Sisi even suspected that the fake on the bed would open his eyes and look at her in the next second.
She quickly shook her head vigorously, saying, "Don't think about it, don't think about it. This is just scaring herself!"
She will have to walk at night soon!
Not daring to look at the dummy on the bed again, Li Sisi quickly took out the package that she had hidden long ago from under the bed.
Just as I was about to open the door, I remembered that I didn’t seem to explain the cause of death?
So I took out a pen and paper and wrote down a poem at random.
"I don't want to be alone in this life, in the dark and lonely world. If my shadow is still in the human world, why not live and die together?"
After writing it, she nodded with satisfaction. This way, her death was justified!
Instead of going out the door, she climbed out the window.
In the silent night, the sound of her feet landing on the ground after she jumped out of the window was particularly abrupt.
Li Sisi quickly looked around, luckily the maid in the yard was fast asleep and didn't hear any noise.
There was a dog hole next to the woodshed in the backyard. She had tried it once before and it was the right size. She could barely squeeze out if she squeezed.
Along the way, Li Sisi's dog crouched down stealthily and tiptoed towards the woodshed in the backyard.
In order to facilitate movement at night, she had already customized a pure black nightgown like those in TV dramas, and she specifically chose to walk in dark corners where the moonlight could not reach.
"Hey, did you see that just now?" A low voice of conversation suddenly sounded.
Li Sisi's breathing stagnated, and she quickly looked around and found two maids walking towards her from the front yard.
She quickly lowered her body. The cat was around the corner, and she was so scared that she stopped breathing for a few seconds.
"What did you see? The eldest young master is crying again? Speaking of which, the eldest young master is really pitiful. Not only was he forced by the old lady to marry a concubine of low status, but he finally fell in love with the lady, but before they could enjoy the sweet time for a few days, the lady was murdered."
Another maid nodded repeatedly: "Yes, come to think of it, the eldest son and the marquis do look a bit alike, worthy of being father and son!"
The maid suddenly excitedly pulled the hand of the person next to her, and lowered her voice: "Oh, that's not it! I tell you, I just saw the eldest master took such a thick stack of banknotes!" She exaggeratedly pointed with her fingers.
Another maid said calmly, "The eldest young master has a lot of assets outside the family. Even the Marquis and the old lady don't know how much they have. He must be very wealthy, so it's normal for him to have that little money."
"It's normal to have so many banknotes, but!" The maid's face was full of shock and confusion, "The eldest young master stuffed such a stack of banknotes into the eldest lady's clothes!"
"Ah? Impossible? The eldest young master is not stupid. The eldest lady is dead. What's the point of giving her silver notes for the living? It would be better to burn more paper money or put some gold, silver, jade or something in the coffin."
