Chapter 218 Ending

——The capital city.

Li Enhua now lives in an inn not far from Jingzhao Prefecture. As for the house she lived in before, she moved out after the incident. She ignored the other servants in the mansion for the time being. She only cared about Liuli and Douyan who followed her. After asking their opinions, she gave Liuli some silver and let her go. Douyan was unwilling to leave, so she continued to follow Li Enhua.

When she was notified to go to Jingzhao Prefecture, Li Enhua was doing needlework in the house. At this time, only such things could calm her mind.

At first she just thought that there was progress in the case, and didn't think much about it. She put down her things and went to Jingzhao Prefecture.

Who knew what happened next, she didn't know how to react. Xu Heng actually committed suicide, Li Enhua didn't know how to describe her feelings at the moment.

"Miss Li, although Xu Heng is no longer with us, the Li family's case will not be left uninvestigated because of this. Don't worry."

The people in Jingzhao Prefecture are now in a state of panic. Since Xu Heng cannot be considered a criminal yet, he is being guarded alone. This morning, the guards outside suddenly realized that they had not heard any movement inside since last night, so they opened the door inappropriately.

As a result, Xu Heng was frightened as soon as the door was opened, and he committed suicide with his own belt. This matter was of great importance, so the guard immediately reported it to his superior, who finally reported it to Lord Su, the Jingzhao Yin.

Lord Su did not delay. After he had personally examined the patient, he immediately went into the palace. After all, the emperor had intended to let the Jingzhao Prefecture take care of the patient. Now that they had managed to keep the patient dead, the Jingzhao Prefecture would have a hard time explaining themselves.

Because Xu Heng had no other relatives, Jingzhao Prefecture found Li Enhua. Regardless of whether she was Xu Heng's sister or fiancée, she was the only person who had some connection with Xu Heng.

The people from Jingzhao Prefecture handed the things on Xu Heng's body to Li Enhua, and told her that if she didn't want to deal with the corpse, she could hand it over to the government office for disposal. Li Enhua agreed to hand it over to the government office.

Xu Heng didn't have much on him, except for clothes, a handkerchief, and a purse. Inside the purse was a gold bracelet inlaid with gems.

"My brother said that when he returns to the capital, he will buy me a gold bracelet that I like, with colorful gemstones on it."

This is what Xu Ying once said.

Xu Heng did not leave a single word, and no one knew why he committed suicide, so some people speculated that he had killed his fiancée's family, and now his suicide out of fear of punishment was proof.

Shen Yun quickly returned to the capital and reported the results of the case review to the emperor. In the Li family case, Xu Heng did not do anything. He was not in the area at the time of the crime and had no contact with the gang of criminals before.

The portrait of "Xu Ying" in the capital was also sent to Qingzhou. After identification by many people, it was confirmed that the person in the painting was Li Enhua, not Xu Ying.

It is true that he did not commit murder, but it is true that he concealed the truth and took Li Enhua to Beijing as Xu Ying. However, what kind of case is this? There is no precedent in the Dazhao Law, so how should it be judged?

But now that Xu Heng is dead, the verdict is no longer that important.

Li Enhua finally became Li Enhua again. She returned the house that Xu Heng had rented before, and gave part of the remaining money to the servants in the house, asking them to find new masters. She donated the rest to the charity in the city.

She was not unfamiliar with Xu Heng, and could probably guess why he committed suicide. He was an extremely proud man, and he certainly could not accept the current situation. He knew that even if the truth came out in the end, he would probably not be able to become the third place winner.

The news that this year's new top scholar died suddenly of illness spread in the capital. People who didn't know the truth couldn't help but sigh that God was jealous of his talent, but that was all. No one paid any more attention to it.

Li Enhua never thought that someone still remembered him.

Duan Wanxin was still in the same bad temper. As soon as she entered the inn, she wrinkled her nose in disdain. "You're going to live here? Why don't you come to me when you run out of money? You can live at my house. I have plenty of rooms."

Li Enhua was a little puzzled and asked her, "How do you know I live here?"

"You still have the nerve to say that you have already been to my house to play. Aren't we friends? Why didn't you tell me that something happened to your brother? After I heard about it, I went to your house to look for you, but there was no one there. I asked my servants to find out that you live here after asking for a long time."

"I'm sorry, I didn't think of it at the moment."

"Oh, it's okay. My second sister-in-law said that you must be in a bad mood now. It's normal that you don't want to see anyone. But what are you going to do in the future?"

"I'm going back to Qingzhou, and maybe I'll go to my grandparents' home in Minzhou later."

Duan Wanxin pouted when she heard this, "Minzhou is so far away, will we be able to meet again in the future?"

Li Enhua smiled but said nothing. Perhaps after leaving, she would never return to the capital.

She took out the things she had made recently. She had originally planned to have someone deliver them to Duan's house when she left, but she didn't expect Duan Wanxin to come over today.

"This is a purse for you. I made it myself. Wanxin, thank you for coming to see me. And this ball is for Jun Ge'er. I was in a hurry last time and didn't make it well."

Duan Wanxin did not take the exquisite and beautiful purse and colorful balls on the table. She felt a little sad. She had never felt this way before. It was even sadder than when she was spanked on the palm by her sister-in-law.

"Yingying, can you please not leave? If you have nowhere else to stay, just stay at my house."

Li Enhua thought for a moment and said to Duan Wanxin, "You can call me Enhua. I like others to call me Enhua."

"Enhua!"

Duan Wanxin didn't ask why and just let her scream.

"Wanxin, I'm sorry. My grandparents won't let me stay alone in the capital. I'll come to see you in the capital again if I have the chance."

"Well, then, when you leave, I'll take you there."

"No need, Wanxin. We have met today, so let's just say goodbye."

"Don't count it."

Duan Wan, who was rejected, left angrily. When she reached the door, she turned back and took the purse and colored balls on the table.

Two hours later, Li Enhua received a bundle containing some small change, a pile of dried meat, dried fruits, and cakes, as well as a letter.

The handwriting was not beautiful and there were only a few words, but it made Li Enhua burst into tears.

"These are my favorites. I'll give them to you on your way. Remember to come back and see me!"

Before returning to Minzhou, Li Enhua had to go back to Qingzhou. She wanted to go back and see her grandparents and uncle. They thought that the tombstone with "Li Enhua" written on it should be smashed down, as it was unlucky, and the grave should be moved.

Li Enhua did not object. She personally went to choose a place for Xu Ying, a very quiet and beautiful place, and erected a new monument for her.

Before leaving, she dug a hole and buried the gem-encrusted bracelet in front of Xu Ying's grave.
