Ye Shijie took them to Li Hanxi's house.
This is a three-story building with a small courtyard.
Compared to other places in the neighborhood, it is smaller and the yard is negligible.
There wasn't even a sign at the door, only a cold "931" number.
There were no funeral decorations in the yard, except that there were a few more people in plain clothes coming in and out than in other places.
There were two more guards standing at the door, and a hunched servant wearing a servant's uniform.
This man must be very old, but he still works here.
He checked the invitation that Ye Shijie presented, bowed and said, "Mr. Ye, Mr. Song, Ms. Ping, Ms. Xia, please come this way."
He gestured to make way.
The two men in black standing guard at the door also moved to the side.
Ye Shijie took Xia Chujian and the others into the yard.
The small yard is paved with cement, without the lawns and flowers that are common in this type of single-family house.
The four of them walked a few steps to the front of the small building.
The small building had only one staircase, and everyone quickly arrived at the living room on the first floor.
Only after entering did it feel a bit like a funeral, but not much.
The curtains in the room were changed to a simple and elegant ivory white.
There was a long table against the wall opposite the living room, on which was placed Li Fu's portrait.
There were two candles lit on both sides of the portrait, and in front of the portrait was an incense burner with a stick of incense stuck in it.
A woman in white stood quietly in front of the long table.
That incense looked like it was burned by her.
Xia Chujian carefully looked at the man's back and guessed that this person was Bai Cuiwei.
The man turned his head and looked at Ye Shijie and his group with surprise but not surprise.
This person is Bai Cuiwei.
Her gaze quickly passed Ye Shijie and fell on Xia Chumian, and then she looked at Song Mingqian and Sister Cai inconspicuously.
She nodded to Ye Shijie and said, "You are here."
"You are Afu's best friends. He must be very happy that you can come and see him off for the last time."
Ye Shijie said officially and politely, "Ms. Bai, Li Fu must be very happy that you can come and burn incense for him."
"Would you like to leave a hairpin for Li Fu to be buried with?"
According to the customs of the Beichen Empire, if an unmarried couple were to part ways due to death, the fiancée could bury one of her hairpins in the coffin of her fiancé as a token of companionship and to fulfill the unfinished bond between husband and wife.
This really means that Bai Cuiwei is regarded as Li Fu's widow.
Bai Cuiwei forced a smile and said, "Actually, my relationship with him is not what you think..."
This was not what she said last time she and Li Fu went to Xia Chujian's house.
This is the case where people no longer acknowledge their responsibility once they leave.
Xia Chujian said calmly, "What we think is not important. What is important is what Li Fu thinks."
"He is no longer in this world, so his thoughts cannot be changed."
"Lady Bai, is that right?"
The dead cannot lie, so the only ones who can lie are the living.
Xia Chujian was implying that Bai Cuiwei was lying.
A hint of resentment and embarrassment flashed in Bai Cuiwei's eyes.
She lowered her head quickly to hide the ruthlessness that suddenly emerged in her heart, and whispered, "He and I are not destined to be together. There's nothing I can do about it."
"I was also surprised by what happened that day... If I had arrived earlier, maybe I could have saved him."
Xia Chujian said: "Really? You really are in an accident? That's too coincidental..."
Bai Cuiwei's face remained normal, except for a slight redness at the corners of her eyes. She whispered, "This is the truth. If you don't believe me, I can't help it. Goodbye."
She hurried out the door.
Li Fu's father, Li Hanxi, then caught up with him and said courteously, "Ms. Bai, would you please sit for a moment?"
"Li Min, come and see Lady Bai off!"
A man who looked about 60% like Li Fu also walked out of the living room next to the living room and said with a smile, "Lady Bai, I'll see you out!"
Xia Chujian looked at this man, then looked at Li Hanxi's face, and thought to himself, it turns out that Li Fu and his father really look alike.
So this half-brother of my father looks similar to Li Fu.
They are all very tall, with rugged and very masculine faces.
However, although Li Fu's younger brother is also tall, he is not as strong and sturdy as Li Fu.
Just tall and thin.
But when he chased her to the door, Bai Cuiwei waved her hand as if to shoo away a fly and said impatiently: "I have something else to do, no need to see me off."
She stepped out of the yard almost in one step and came outside.
A flying vehicle appeared in mid-air.
Bai Cuiwei flew into the air and entered the aircraft.
Then the aircraft went into stealth mode and flew away with a whoosh.
Xia Chujian saw it through the window of Li Hanxi's living room and felt a little confused.
How could Bai Cuiwei’s aircraft fly over the Li family residential area?
Didn’t Ye Shijie say that this is a no-fly zone?
Not only is flying prohibited, but outside aircraft are not even allowed to park within the Li District.
Could it be that the Bai family, from which Bai Cuiwei came, was so powerful that even the Li family was wary of it?
But think about it again, the Li family is the Li family, and Li Fu's father, Li Hanxi, is not from the main branch of the Li family.
It is only because their ancestors four generations ago had a close relationship with the main line of the Li family that they can live here and enjoy the title of nobility.
Li Fu's generation is already the fifth generation.
When it came to Li Fu's next generation, they had no relationship with the Li family at all. They had to move out of the Li family's ancestral home and no longer enjoyed noble titles and status. They were just ordinary citizens.
