Chapter 329: Refusing to Tell the Cause of Death
Wei Qingyan responded to her, "What do you want me to help you with?"
"I would like to ask my sister..." Liang Fuzhu fell silent.
After a moment, he smiled bitterly and said, "I was stupid. After so many years, my house is probably no longer what it used to be. That thing must have been gone long ago."
Wei Qingyan, "Tell me about it, I'll try my best."
While investigating Liang Fuzhu's affairs, they also discovered another thing: the current Marquis of Zhenbei is a supporter of the Queen.
The old Marquis of Zhenbei, Fu Zhuzhu's grandfather, was a loyal royalist. If the old marquis was still in charge of the Marquis of Zhenbei's Mansion, he probably would not support the queen's rule.
It’s terrifying to think about it!
When Fu Zhuzhu got into trouble, Shi Yu was not yet born and Emperor Feng Zhao was still in power. The Queen knew that the porcelain vase was unlucky and should have known the cause of Fu Zhuzhu's death.
Just the mention of her father brought back Bok Joo-joo's memory, as well as her shrill cries, pleading in pain and despair, which might mean that her father was present when she died.
However, he concealed the real cause of Fu Zhuzhu's death and told others that his daughter committed suicide for love with a man. He destroyed his daughter's reputation in this way. He is definitely not a good father.
As a result, he inherited the title and submitted to the queen. The queen was also a vested interest in this matter, and she might have been involved in Fu Zhuzhu's death.
If this is true, the queen would have started to gather supporters for herself so early.
Can we really believe the rumors about the emperor and empress's love for each other, and that after Emperor Feng Zhao was seriously injured in the fire, he personally taught the empress how to govern the country and cultivated her?
Thinking more darkly, if the queen had intended to seize power from the beginning, and used Fu Zhuzhu's death to plot against the old Marquis of Zhenbei, then were the palace coup, the injury of Emperor Feng Zhao, and even Shi Yu's kidnapping also her doing?
These thoughts shocked Wei Qingyan and Shi Yu.
Moreover, it was true that the Queen concealed the clues of finding Shi Yu, and it was also true that she gave him the porcelain bottle. In addition, Qing Wu's abnormal behavior today made them both realize that something was wrong, and perhaps they should take the initiative to investigate.
Fu Zhuzhu didn't know that Wei Qingyan had thought about it, and said bitterly, "I prepared this as a birthday gift for my grandmother. I wanted to surprise her, so I hid it in the secret compartment next to my bed.
If that house were occupied now, the thing would have been discovered long ago."
Wei Qingyan disagreed. Fu Zhuzhu died a violent death, and the people in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion might not dare to live in that house.
Moreover, the old Zhenbei Marquis and his wife regarded Fu Zhuzhu as their precious daughter, and they might not agree that others occupied Fu Zhuzhu's house. "I'll go and show it to you later."
Fu Zhuzhu was touched and said, "Sister, you are so kind."
Wei Qingyan drew a soul-soothing talisman in the air and sent it into her forehead. She wanted to help Fu Zhuzhu, but she also had her own purpose.
Perhaps Fu Zhuzhu is the opportunity for them to find out something.
"Is there anything else you want to know?" Wei Qingyan asked when he saw that she was hesitant to speak.
"Are my grandparents still alive?"
This was what she wanted to ask the most, but she didn't dare to ask.
The day after her death was my grandmother's 57th birthday. Because of the successive deaths of my aunts and uncles, my grandmother had not celebrated her birthday for many years.
She wanted to please her grandmother, and after much persuasion, her grandmother finally agreed to not invite guests but just have a small birthday celebration at home.
But after she entered the palace that day, she was never able to leave. She broke her promise after all. My grandmother must have been very upset.
If they were still alive, they would be over 80 years old now, which is extremely rare. Fu Zhuzhu did not dare to have too high expectations.
"I've just arrived in Fengzhao and don't know much. I only know that your grandmother is not in good health. Both of them are very old and have not returned to the imperial city in recent years."
After Wei Qingyan told him the truth about what he knew, he asked, "How did you die?"
The remnant soul, who had originally been happy to hear that his grandparents were still alive, fell silent again after hearing this question. After a long while, he shook his head and said, "It's bad luck, so let's not talk about it. Sister just stopped me from going crazy. You are good at magic. Are you the extraditionist?"
Wei Qingyan hummed, "Do you want to reincarnate?"
"I'm just thinking about it, but I'm trapped in this porcelain bottle and can't leave. Does sister have any ideas?"
Since she regained her memory, she no longer had her previous cheerfulness and openness, and a faint sadness covered her face.
"Yes, but you still have an obsession in your heart. Do you remember what you want to do with Qingwu?"
It is not so much that the porcelain bottle bound her, but rather that it was the obsession in her heart that kept her in this world. In addition, she had previously lost her memory and forgot what she was obsessed with, so her soul was trapped here and could not break free.
"If my obsession is not resolved, will I be unable to enter the cycle of reincarnation?" Her voice was faint, with a hint of loss.
Wei Qingyan nodded. You could say that.
"It is not appropriate for a living soul to remain in the human world for long. You are now only a remnant of your soul. If you linger any longer, you will completely disappear from this world and there will be no reincarnation."
The talisman she just cast was to buy some time for Fu Zhuzhu.
There was another long silence.
"If you can't get in, then don't get in."
Fu Zhuzhu smiled sadly, "I just want to see my grandparents, but I'm trapped in this porcelain vase. This porcelain vase... is too eye-catching to take out."
Wei Qingyan understood what she meant. The porcelain vase was stained with human life, and the other party would definitely pay more attention to it because they felt guilty.
"No problem, I'll take you out of the city tomorrow."
She suddenly thought of something. If the Marquis of Zhenbei and the Queen were really involved in Fu Zhuzhu's death, then this porcelain bottle could be the Queen's leverage over the Marquis of Zhenbei.
The Queen sent this evidence to the Crown Prince's Mansion. Was it to intimidate Liang Yongan, the Marquis of Zhenbei, or to test her ability?
No matter which one it was, as Shi Yu said, since the other party had already made a move, she should just fight back.
After nightfall, the two men dressed in night clothes and arrived outside the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.
The Zhenbei Marquis Mansion was a founding meritorious organization. Although it had experienced decline in the past, it rose again under the leadership of the old Zhenbei Marquis. He was a powerful general under Shi Yu's grandfather.
It was heard that he was extremely brave and that he had completely subdued the nomadic country that had invaded the border many times with his 100,000 soldiers, but he also sacrificed four of his sons, and only the second son Liang Yongan survived.
The home of a military commander like this should be well-defended, but the two men easily sneaked into Fu Zhuzhu's yard.
I think the current Marquis of Zhenbei is not as good as his father.
As Wei Qingyan expected, after Fu Zhuzhu died, her yard became deserted, without even a gatekeeper, and the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion abandoned it.
The two men found Fu Zhuzhu's boudoir and found a worn headband in the secret compartment beside her bed.
There were many gems inlaid on the headband. Wei Qingyan wiped it with a handkerchief, and the dusty gems shone again with their brilliance.
"These gems are very expensive." Shi Yu took a look and whispered.
This secret compartment can be found with careful attention. Although the house is old, one can still see the wealth of its past.
How guilty must the other party be that he doesn't even dare to touch this house.
If the house was cleaned more tidily, Shi Yu would also wonder if it was the family's longing for the deceased that made him keep the house as it was before.
But, the dust on the table is three feet thick...
Perhaps because he felt the same way, a trace of sadness appeared on Shi Yu's lips.
