.

The coffin has been placed in the room.

Nangong Xue frowned: "When that coffin was brought over this morning, Brother Li also personally inspected it."

Li You nodded.

It was empty at the time.

But now, the mysterious murderer not only managed to sneak into the villa's many guards and deliver Chu Shenghan's body as planned, but he also put the body into the coffin instead of hanging it in the tree!

How meticulous, how skillful, how terrifying!

These people are all well-known figures in the martial arts world, yet the murderer managed to deceive them and do a series of things that seem impossible to outsiders. If he wanted to take someone's life in the dark, it would be as easy as turning his hand.

Li You frowned deeply: "Where did Brother Nangong park it back then?"

“It’s been in the east courtyard,” Nangong Xue shook her head. “I specifically told them not to move it, and I personally watched them carry it here.”

Yang Nianqing hesitated: "I'm afraid... even if we call them all here and ask them, we won't get any information out of them."

Li You nodded.

silence.

Madam Leng suddenly stood up: "It's getting late, let's talk about it tomorrow."

After saying that, she stopped looking at the crowd and turned to leave.

.

He Bi went back to her room without saying goodbye, while Nangong Xue went to the front hall to instruct the servants to prepare for Chu Shenghan's funeral. It was a night when probably no one could sleep.

Yang Nianqing was timid. Seeing He Bi run away first, she insisted on pulling Li You along.

"Can't some people be as bold as they are?" Li You smiled bitterly, but he was also worried inwardly as she pulled him forward by his sleeve.

Yang Nianqing glared at him fiercely, glancing around guiltily, but still refusing to back down: "Didn't you say you could do whatever you wanted with me if I lost the bet? Now I need you to get me safely back to my room, and also, you're not allowed to sleep too soundly tonight..."

Upon hearing this, Li You stopped in his tracks, his long eyelashes fluttering twice: "When did I lose?"

She glared at her: "You saw Madam Leng's behavior with your own eyes, are you trying to deny it?"

Li You shook his head and was about to speak when he suddenly stopped, because he saw that Madam Leng was walking towards the two of them from a distance.

.

She watched them silently.

Li You watched her quietly without asking any questions.

Tonight's events were actually expected. It seemed she was no longer sad. Yang Nianqing didn't know whether she should comfort her or not, and could only murmur, "Madam Leng..."

Madam Leng looked at her and said, "After I see him off, I'll be leaving too."

Li You nodded: "Take care, Madam."

moment.

Madam Leng suddenly said, "I've thought about it, and what you said makes some sense."

Before Li You could speak, she looked at Yang Nianqing and shook her head, her eyes dim and seemingly apologetic: "Although Xiao Nian is a bit willful, I'm sure I'll feel at ease with you here."

No way! You're saying I'm being capricious? Yang Nianqing almost fell to the ground, a classic line inexplicably popping into her head—"I'm entrusting her to you!" Does that mean the same thing?

Li You glanced at her, a smile curving his lips.

Seeing that inscrutable smile, Yang Nianqing felt a chill run down her spine and immediately waved her hand, "No need, no need, Madam, please don't worry, there are plenty of people taking care of me..."

If I let him take care of me, he'll probably use me as a hidden weapon every other day...

Considering all the possibilities for the future, Yang Nianqing quickly changed her words: "Actually, you just need to tell him not to use me as a hidden weapon, and the rest... don't worry about it, I can handle it myself..."

He can't afford to be dumped a few more times! My heart is actually very fragile.

Faced with her concerns, Madam Leng shook her head and smiled: "It's good that he understands these things. I'm afraid only he can take good care of you. Being able to follow him is a blessing."

Blessed? What a load of rubbish!

Yang Nianqing was speechless.

Li You smiled and said, "Don't worry, Madam."

Madam Leng nodded, then looked at Yang Nianqing with eyes full of tenderness and love: "I have no children. I will be leaving tomorrow, so let me give you something."

After saying that, she took off a jade bracelet from her hand and then took Yang Nianqing's hand to put it on for her.

In that instant, Yang Nianqing was truly moved, because she was reminded of her mother in modern times, and suddenly stammered, not knowing what to say: "Madam Leng..."

Madam Leng looked at her for a long time, then suddenly let go of her hand and sighed softly: "You are somewhat like me, but that may not be a good thing. You should stop thinking about it."

What does that mean? Yang Nianqing was completely baffled.

Madam Leng smiled and said, "It's getting late, you should rest early."

After saying that, she turned around and left.

Who knew—

"Please wait, madam."

.

She stopped, but did not turn around or ask any questions; she simply stood quietly with her back to the two of them.

Li You shook his head: "Madam still hasn't figured it out?"

She didn't answer.

"Madam finds joy in wandering the world not because she has forgotten me, but rather because she remembers me. It is because she knows that Hero Chu will surely remember you," Li You said, watching her retreating figure, but he squeezed Yang Nianqing's hand. "If you have feelings in your heart, why can't you be more forgiving? If you have feelings, how could you forget so easily?"

"There are not many people in this world who can be easily forgotten."

Yang Nianqing felt a warmth in her heart.

He wasn't saying these words specifically to Madam Leng, was he?

To be honest, although this person has a sharp tongue, he is actually a good person at heart... But the next moment, Yang Nianqing looked at Madam Leng with concern, knowing that these words would definitely make her angry again!

Unexpectedly - 63

Madam Leng was not agitated, but simply said, "There's no point in saying more. You should all get some rest."

After saying that, he walked away.

.

Watching Madam Leng walk away, it took Yang Nianqing a while to react. She tugged at Li You, saying, "What you said makes sense, but she doesn't seem really that sad..."

Li You murmured, "If I still can't figure it out, I'm afraid something bad will happen."

Yang Nianqing shook her head: "Yes, she talks strangely."

Li You looked at her, his long eyelashes concealing the many interesting thoughts in his eyes. After a moment, he shook his head and sighed, "All I know is that I've gained another fortunate troublemaker."

A blessed trouble?

Yang Nianqing curled her lip and sneered, "Tch, who do you think you are? Do you think I'd need you to take care of me? Maybe I can take care of you someday when you're too lazy to turn into a pig!"

Li You suppressed a laugh: "It's strange, why do women seem to prefer playing the role of elder the younger they are?"

Yang Nianqing rolled her eyes: "You think you know so much about women? Go study it yourself!"

Then, she added with a puzzled look, "She's been acting strangely today. She even said that what you said made sense. I never imagined that Master Chu... she really isn't sad at all..."

Li You sighed and suddenly interrupted her: "If you think that way, you're wrong."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yang Nianqing found herself airborne.

Yang Nianqing discovered that the Nangong Villa was quite large. As the pond, bridges, covered walkways, and shady trees passed beneath her feet, Li You finally carried her silently to the ground.

Not too close, not too far, just enough to see the coffin in the mourning hall, where two servants were dozing off.

Li You let her go.

Why did he bring me here? To see the corpse? Yang Nianqing looked at Li You in confusion, but he smiled slightly, looked into the distance, and gestured for her to be quiet.

moment.

Amidst the swirling wind and dew, a white, elegant figure walked slowly in. She reached the doorway, stood quietly inside for a long time, and then slowly went in.

It was actually Madam Leng.

Hasn't she forgotten? Why has she come alone again?

.

The two servants were still fast asleep and didn't notice anyone going in. Yang Nianqing was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized that they must have been acupunctured by Madam Leng.

With a slender hand, the coffin lid suddenly flew up and landed silently on the ground.

What flew out next was Chu Shenghan's corpse.

How could she leave her husband's body lying on the ground?

Yang Nianqing almost cried out in surprise, but Li You stopped her.

.

The candlelight flickered.

Under the light, his handsome face made his terrifying expression appear much gentler.
