Chapter 705 Something is wrong, something is particularly wrong
Seeing Shen Wantang remained silent, Qin Xin assumed she didn't believe in such supernatural things. She couldn't help but whisper, "Young Madam, although the idea of rebirth is a bit mysterious, I don't think Chu Yanluo is lying. And I'm not the only one who thinks so; many people believe her story."
Shen Wantang came back to his senses and asked calmly, "Really? Why?"
"Because... because Chu Yanluo knows a lot of other people's secrets. She even predicted the life and death of several people. The way those people died was exactly the same as she said. If she is not reborn, then she may have the ability to predict the future."
Qin Xin said cautiously, "Besides Chu Yanluo, Prince Xiao has also been saying that he was reborn. He always says that he married you as his consort in his previous life, and that Qiyu and I were your maids in our previous lives."
"I have served the princess in the palace for many years and I understand the prince's character. He rarely lies. Maybe, maybe what he said is true."
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Shen Wantang and saw that she didn't seem unhappy, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Wantang naturally wouldn't be unhappy because of Qin Xin's words, because Qin Xin's guesses were all correct.
In her previous life, she did marry Xiao Qingyuan.
However, she would not tell anyone about this, nor would she admit it.
Her expression became slightly more serious. "You can say this to me once, but don't tell anyone else. I've already married into the Duke's Mansion, married to the Second Young Master. What good will it do me if you continue to say this?"
Qin Xin quickly knelt down: "I know I was wrong! I was just... just shocked by the news of my rebirth. I spoke too quickly and said the wrong thing! Madam, don't worry, I have never said such words to anyone else. I know the seriousness of the matter!"
Shen Wantang shook her head helplessly. This maid was good in every way except that she was too gossipy and liked to get to the bottom of things. In addition, because she trusted Qin Xin too much, she was particularly indulgent towards her in this life, so she spoke without any scruples.
"Okay, get up! Be mindful of your words and actions from now on. Think carefully before you decide what to say or what not to say."
Qin Xin stood up and said with her head down, "Yes, Madam, I'll make a note of it."
"Is there any other news about Chu Yanluo's suicide? Does Xiao Qingyuan know about it? Did he go to Wanhua Tower to check?"
"Prince Xiao knew about it, and he also went to Wanhua Tower and wanted to have someone bury Chu Yanluo, but he was stopped. Chu Yanluo's body was snatched away by another group of people. The leader said they were sent by the Chu family, so Prince Xiao didn't argue."
Shen Wantang frowned slightly: "Sent by the Chu family? How is that possible?"
"What's wrong, Madam? Is there something wrong? Among the onlookers, someone recognized the leader and said he was Chu Yanluo's father's personal servant!"
"Something is indeed wrong. When Chu Yanluo was alive, the Chu family had already severed ties with her and no longer acknowledged her as their daughter. Otherwise, they wouldn't have sent her to Jixin Temple to become a nun. Later, Chu Yanluo was sold to Wanhua Tower. The Chu family felt that she was a disgrace and was even more unwilling to acknowledge this daughter. Why are they acknowledging her now?"
"Ah? Could it be that the Chu family felt that Chu Yanluo was already dead, so they let bygones be bygones? Perhaps Lord Chu still loved his daughter, so he couldn't bear to let her body lie exposed in the wilderness, so he specially sent someone to bring her body back for a proper burial."
Shen Wantang shook her head. She didn't think such a possibility existed.
Although Qin Xin still called Chu Yanluo's father "Lord Chu", he had actually lost his official position long ago. The reason was naturally that Chu Yanluo was pregnant with a bastard and had fooled Xiao Qingyuan around, angering Prince Ning and Princess Ning.
He hated Chu Yanluo so much, how could he still love her?
If he had any love for his daughter, he would not be willing to send her pregnant daughter directly to Jixin Temple.
Jixin Temple was not a kind place. The nuns there were all fierce and cruel, and their methods of torture were extremely vicious. Especially for a woman with bad morals like Chu Yanluo, they would punish her to death and would never let her give birth to the bastard in her belly.
It was because Xiao Qingyuan took care of her everywhere, otherwise Chu Yanluo would have died in Jixin Temple long ago.
"Something's wrong. Something's really wrong."
The more Shen Wantang thought about it, the more suspicious it seemed. He couldn't help but tell Qin Xin, "Keep watching this matter. In particular, find out what the Chu family did after they brought Chu Yanluo's body back."
"Yes, I have remembered it."
Qin Xin was talking, and suddenly added: "Oh, by the way, Chu Yanluo also wrote down the names of the people he wanted to avenge in the blood letter. It's a long list. The first one is Xiao Shizi, the second one is Liu Nanshi, the eldest lady Liu, and the third one is you, Madam!"
"The young lady had no grudge against her, so why would she seek revenge on her? You say, the Chu family took her body back, could it be that they wanted to summon her wronged soul and have her turn into a ghost and kill people for revenge?"
Shen Wantang looked at Qin Xin with both anger and amusement: "One moment you're reborn, the next moment a ghost kills people. You should read less strange stories!"
Qin Xin was a little embarrassed: "You know that I love to read these, but Madam, you don't know that the books nowadays are becoming more and more absurd and bizarre."
"You know it's absurd and bizarre, but you still watch it? And you still believe it?"
"The more absurd, the more interesting it is! I didn't believe it at first, but now that Chu Yanluo has been reborn, I think what's written in the storybook might be true!"
Qin Xin said seriously, "Young Madam, you'd better be careful. It's best to ask a Taoist priest to make a ghost-exorcising talisman. With the talisman, even if Chu Yanluo turns into a fierce ghost, he won't dare to get close to you!"
Shen Wantang also looked serious: "Don't worry, even if Chu Yanluo really turns into a fierce ghost, it won't be my turn for a while. Aren't there two people ahead of me? If she wants to kill someone, she should kill Xiao Qingyuan first. After Xiao Qingyuan is dead, it won't be too late for me to ask the Taoist priest for help."
"That's...okay!"
"Okay, we've been out for a while, it's time to go back."
Shen Wantang stood up and said goodbye to Jiang Yan. As they walked out, she said, "By the way, Du Juan, tell the coachman that we should go back through the street that leads to Wanhua Tower."
"Yes, young lady!"
After leaving Jinxiu Pavilion, the carriage headed straight for Xihe Street.
A quarter of an hour later, the carriage slowed down.
Shen Wantang lifted the curtain and saw Wanhua Tower not far away.
At this moment, the outside of Wanhua Tower was crowded with people, and outside the crowd, there were several carriages parked on the street facing the river, which had blocked the entire Xihe Street.
Qin Xin was sharp-eyed and immediately pointed in one direction: "Young Madam, look, there's Prince Xiao's carriage over there! He hasn't left yet!"
