Sixi couldn't help pursing her lips but didn't say much. This was exactly what was meant by "he who accepts benefits is prone to favoritism"!
Ye Zhe shook his head helplessly, thinking that she was truly a glutton!
The three of them came to the coroner's workshop. To their surprise, it was covered in dust. They had to put in quite some effort to clean it up.
However, it was encouraging that Sixi was no longer afraid of the skeleton!
Liu Rumei looked at the empty shop. Mixed feelings welled up in her heart. She was probably the only one who could have run the coroner's workshop like this.
After having some pastries, Liu Rumei went upstairs to take a short rest. Unexpectedly, a visitor suddenly arrived outside.
Sixi's eyes were filled with hostility, and she shouted, "Miss Liu, the Princess Anning is here!"
What on earth did this woman want? Could it be that she still hadn't given up on the prince?
Ye Zhe, hiding in the dark, couldn't help frowning. His eyes were full of vigilance.
Although Liu Rumei was reluctant to deal with Ning Yan'er, a guest should always be welcomed!
Reluctantly, she got up and walked downstairs.
Ning Yan'er had a smile in her eyes, and beside her was Miss Bai of the Bai family, Bai Jinmian!
Bai Jinmian's eyes were full of impatience. She swept her beautiful eyes around and looked disdainful. "Yan'er, can she really do it?"
Ning Yan'er smiled faintly, a mysterious look on her face. "Jinmian, Miss Liu's ability is obvious to all. She will surely help aunt solve the trouble."
Bai Jinmian didn't believe it at all. "Did she solve those cases? And those in the palace? It should be the Crown Prince and the Prince Guoan who found out, right? She probably just took a look at the corpses!"
This Liu Rumei must have used some despicable means to get a share of the credit from the prince and the Crown Prince!
Although Ning Yan'er thought the same way in her heart, she didn't show it at all on her face. Seeing Liu Rumei slowly walking downstairs, she smiled and said, "Miss Liu."
Liu Rumei had a faint smile on her face. "What important matter brings the Princess Anning here?"
Ning Yan'er also put on a smile. "I heard that Miss Liu moved out of the Prince Guoan's mansion and is now living in the Youyuan Inn. Is it that the mansion I provided is not suitable?"
Thinking of the damaged mansion, Liu Rumei felt helpless. "It's not that. The Youyuan Inn is opened by a friend. It's convenient for us to take care of each other."
Ning Yan'er nodded, and the smile in her eyes deepened. No matter where Liu Rumei lived, as long as she wasn't in the Prince Guoan's mansion, everything would be fine!
Ye Zhe, hiding in the dark, felt helpless. Thinking of the time he led people to smash the yard in the middle of the night, he couldn't help sighing.
He hoped that the Princess Anning wouldn't cause any more trouble. Otherwise, they might not be able to sleep well again.
Bai Jinmian widened her eyes. "Yan'er, you gave her a mansion?"
Although she understood Ning Yan'er's plan, wasn't it a loss to give this woman a mansion?
Liu Rumei's smile remained unchanged. She said calmly, "Miss Bai misunderstood. It's a fair deal, payment in hand for goods delivered!"
She didn't like to take advantage of others, especially Ning Yan'er's!
Ning Yan'er also smiled faintly. "That's right!"
Sixi stood behind Liu Rumei. She disliked the Princess Anning very much. What on earth was this woman doing coming to the coroner's workshop and talking so much? Was she just looking for trouble?
Liu Rumei was no longer patient enough to beat around the bush with them. She asked again, "What exactly brings the two of you here?"
Ning Yan'er didn't entangle any longer. She sighed sadly and said softly, "I'm here this time because of Jinmian's family matter!"
Liu Rumei raised her eyebrows. "Family matter?"
Could it be that there was a murder case in the Bai family? Why hadn't she heard about it? "Princess Anning, I'm afraid I'm powerless in the Bai family's family matter!"
The Princess Anning glanced at Bai Jinmian beside her. "The matter is quite complicated. Let Jinmian tell you in detail!"
Liu Rumei listened attentively. She took the hot tea poured by Sixi and sipped it leisurely.
Bai Jinmian's eyes were full of impatience. She firmly believed that Liu Rumei couldn't solve this matter. However, with Ning Yan'er beside her, she didn't dare to leave. So she pursed her lips and said, "A few days ago, my father took a noble concubine into the house and doted on her very much. Who would have thought that not long after, she died. Now, everyone in the Bai family thinks it was my mother who did it! So, I want you to find out the real culprit behind this!"
In this way, the relationship between her parents could also be eased. Thinking of the quarrels at home in the past few days, Bai Jinmian's eyes turned cold.
Liu Rumei frowned tightly and said indifferently, "Why didn't you report this matter to the authorities?"
Hearing this, Bai Jinmian seemed to have heard a big joke. She sneered, "She was just a concubine. Although she was a noble concubine, she couldn't change her status as a concubine. Her name might sound nice, but she was just a plaything for venting! A servant. If this matter didn't involve my mother, it wouldn't have been so troublesome!"
They could just throw her into the mass grave or bury her somewhere!
This was an unspoken rule among everyone. It was really ridiculous that she still wanted the Bai family to lose face in front of the yamen!
A cold light flashed in Liu Rumei's eyes. This was simply not taking human lives seriously!
Sixi also pursed her lips. Looking at Liu Rumei's cold expression, she couldn't help shaking her head helplessly. There was probably no one as unique as Miss Liu in this world! Among the families, it was not uncommon to beat and kill servants, and the government couldn't do anything about it. As for concubines, just like what Miss Bai said, they were just nicer in name.
Bai Jinmian's eyes were full of impatience. "Just give me a straight answer. Will you help or not? If you find out the real culprit, there will surely be rewards!"
The Princess Anning also said softly, "Miss Liu, because of the death of this noble concubine, everyone suspects that it was Mrs. Bai. Even Lord Bai thinks so. If this continues, I'm afraid..."
Liu Rumei understood that if this continued, the relationship between the husband and wife would surely break! "Where is the body? Take me to have a look!"
Sixi was instantly worried. How could Miss Liu agree to this? What if it was a trick played by these two people?
A look of embarrassment flashed across the Princess Anning's face. She subconsciously looked at Bai Jinmian beside her. "This..."
Liu Rumei frowned. "Is there something inconvenient?"
"The body was buried outside the city. If you want to see it, I'll order someone to dig it out for you!"
Liu Rumei was slightly stunned. She didn't expect that the body had already been buried. However, as a coroner, if she wanted to find out the truth, she had to see the body before she could make a plan. "That's fine!"
Bai Jinmian looked at her strangely. Was this woman really not afraid of the body?
"You guys, go and dig out the body and send it here!"
"Yes!"
