As for the Qi family, they naturally wanted to take Qi Moyu's body back. Qi Moyu was the only male member of their Qi family in this generation. He was unmarried and had never had a concubine.
The Qi family's situation appears to be worse than the Feng family's.
...
After Gu Xin and her group finished explaining their plans, they borrowed a carriage from the temple to go down the mountain.
Qiyun Temple was going to hold a religious ceremony for the two young ladies of the Feng family, and they didn't want to rest at the temple, so they planned to go back to Lord Liu's villa to rest.
Just in time, Gu Xin also asked Constable Chen to tell Lord Liu after escorting the murderer back to the yamen that he should come to the villa to pick up the case file himself, and come early, because they would all be resting if it was late.
No one has had a good rest these past two days, and there hasn't been time to invite Lord Liu to dinner.
Bai Er and Fatty Wang drove the carriage, while Gu Xin, Zheng Qiu, Gu En, and Bai Yi Dongxue sat in the carriage.
A gentle breeze blew through the mountains, instantly clearing my mind.
Dongxue sighed, "Third Miss, we've only stayed at the temple for two nights and three days, but it feels like an eternity has passed."
Gu Xin smiled and said, "Because so much has happened these past few days! I haven't been sleeping much, my mind has been filled with cases, and I haven't had time to think about anything else. So when I suddenly relax, it feels like a very, very long time has passed, doesn't it? It feels like I haven't felt this relaxed in ages. Actually, we were just this relaxed and happy two days ago!"
Fatty Wang chimed in, "Third Miss, I was in a terrible mood two days ago. I felt like my legs weren't even mine anymore."
Gu En said, "Brother Wang, there is a mountain in the capital that is even higher than Qiyun Mountain. When we get back, I will take you to climb it."
Fatty Wang quickly refused: "No, no, please, Gu Xiaosi, my dear Gu Xiaosi, aren't you putting your brother in a difficult position? Do you want your sister-in-law and nephews to have a husband and father with a broken leg? What are you thinking!"
Everyone laughed.
He's so lazy, he doesn't even try to hide it, he's even bringing his wife and kids into it.
In short, the journey down the mountain was pleasant. With Fatty Wang there to crack jokes, no one needed to create a lively atmosphere.
It was already dark when they returned to the villa. Lord Liu was already waiting there. Upon seeing the carriage, he quickly stepped forward to greet them: "This humble official greets the princess!"
Gu Xin waved her hand: "Lord Liu, have you finished dealing with your matter?"
Lord Liu smiled and nodded: "Thank you for your concern, Princess. I have already taken care of the matter."
Gu Xin raised an eyebrow, a half-smile on her face, and said, "You're really fast! We finished investigating your case and you've already taken care of your business. Isn't that too much of a coincidence?"
Lord Liu chuckled and said, "This humble official thanks the princess once again for solving the Qiyun Temple case and upholding justice for the deceased! Fortunately, the princess was present; otherwise, with my abilities, it is likely that the matter would have dragged on for a very long time. This humble official is extremely grateful."
Gu Xin tossed the case file to him: "Stop flattering me. The entire case process has been recorded, so keep it safe. We're leaving for Beijing the day after tomorrow, so we won't tell you. We'll just leave from this villa. You don't need to send anyone to see us off; I've already spoken to General Ying."
After saying that, Gu Xin took two steps forward and patted Lord Liu on the shoulder: "Lord Liu, do a good job. I look forward to seeing you in the capital soon. I have high hopes for you."
Lord Liu was greatly surprised, then bowed deeply: "This humble official will remember the princess's teachings and will certainly work diligently to live up to her expectations. This humble official will definitely do his job well, do practical things, and seek benefits for the people of Taizhou!"
