On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Chapter 1736 Confirming the truth

Yan Ruyu looked at Madam Qiu. Madam Qiu stopped crying and her eyes were shining with anticipation.

She didn't know what Yan Ruyu wanted to say to her, but she vaguely felt that things might take a turn for the better.

Although she knew that her son was dead and was in the mourning hall in front of her, how could anything turn out?

However, as a mother, I still want to look forward to it, even if there is only a glimmer of hope.

Yan Ruyu said slowly: "Have you checked to see if the characteristics you just mentioned are still there?"

Mrs. Qiu's mind exploded.

She didn't know where she got the strength from, and struggled to sit up: "What do you mean, Princess?"

"Madam Qiu, did Mr. Qiu say goodbye to you before he left for the government office?"

Mrs. Qiu shook her head: "No."

It was because of this, because she didn't see him for the last time, didn't even say a word, that she was so sad and couldn't accept it.

Yan Ruyu could almost conclude that the dead person lying in the mourning hall was not Qiu Ke Shi.

Although she still couldn't figure out the trick.

She should have thought of it earlier when Qiu Keshi calmly went to the yamen, frankly confessed his guilt, and was determined to die.

However, because it was so similar, and because it was taken away from the mansion, and the woman's testimony, the characteristics she described were consistent with the corpse, so she was misled for so long.

If she hadn't always had doubts, if it weren't possible to test whether the child was her own, she would still be kept in the dark.

Yan Ruyu felt a little angry.

"Madam Qiu, have you ever noticed whether your husband is as grief-stricken as you are?"

Mrs. Qiu was stunned. To be honest, she didn't pay much attention to her husband.

Her son died suddenly, and she felt like the sky had fallen. How could she care about others?

However, when Yan Ruyu reminded her of this, she thought about it carefully and felt that although her husband said so much, he did not shed much tears.

Tonight, before she fainted in the mourning hall, she vaguely heard someone say, "Hurry and find the master, he is having a meal in the study."

Then she fainted completely and was carried back. After she woke up, she didn't remember anything about it.

Now that we are together, he still has the mind to eat?

It's not normal.

Madam Qiu's expression suddenly changed, and she grabbed Yan Ruyu's hand and said, "Princess, could it be that my cruel husband killed my son? Did he have an affair with someone else and gave birth to a son? Did he want the illegitimate son to inherit the family business?"

Yan Ruyu: "..."

Sometimes, I don’t think about anything, and sometimes I think too much.

Neither is good.

Yan Ruyu pulled her hand back: "Madam Qiu, I want to remind you to go and take another look at the corpse. Maybe you will find something."

……

Mrs. Qiu's heart was pounding. She didn't bring anyone with her and came to the mourning hall alone, carrying a lantern.

Master Qiu had already made arrangements that someone had to be on guard day and night.

There are not as many people in the funeral hall as during the day, but there are still some.

She walked over, burned a few pieces of paper money, and quietly mixed in some powder.

Soon, everyone inside and outside the mourning hall yawned and fell asleep.

She immediately got up and went to the coffin.

Looking at that familiar face, she couldn't help wanting to cry again, but remembering Yan Ruyu's words, she forced herself to hold back.

The corpse has been dressed, and the coffin will be closed tomorrow morning.

She had to find out tonight.

Look at that scar, there.

Her heart sank.

If you can’t see the fracture from the outside, how else can you see it?

My son doesn't have birthmarks...

Suddenly, she focused her eyes and found a mole on the inside of her elbow.

Not big, about the size of a grain of rice, but very clear.

She scratched it and found that it was indeed a real mole.

This……

Her fingers trembled as she unbuttoned her clothes a little more and found another one on the side of the corpse's belly button. This one was larger than the one on her elbow and was about the size of a small green bean.

This is not right.

Mrs. Qiu’s mind was filled with shocking thoughts - her son had no moles on his body, so how could he suddenly have two more?

She pondered over it and looked at other parts of her body, but there were no moles or birthmarks anywhere else.

However, when I picked up his hand, I found that his fingers were slightly short, his nails were also short, and there were some vertical lines on his nails, which were angular and not smooth at all.

Looking at the face more closely, although his eyes were closed, she could see from a close distance that his lips were slightly thicker.

Her heart was beating so fast that she almost fell. She bit her tongue, and the sharp pain kept her awake. With trembling fingers, she put clothes on the corpse, picked up the lantern, but without lighting it, she left in a hurry.

She didn't know what she was thinking or what she should be thinking, but she felt that her husband should know.

I have to ask for clarification.

She was about to pass through the Moon Gate when she saw two figures in front of her.

She was startled and the lantern in her hand fell to the ground.

"who!"

Yan Ruyu picked up the lantern and returned it to her: "Madam, how is it?"

Mrs. Qiu wanted to say something, but felt it was inappropriate.

She was sure that the person in the coffin was not her son Qiu Ke Shi, so who could it be?

Why did he go to the governor's mansion on behalf of his son, and why did he commit suicide in prison?

She was in a state of confusion and made up her mind that she could not say anything until she found out the truth and knew the whereabouts of her son.

Thinking of this, she sighed and sobbed, "Princess, the body in the coffin is my son's."

"It's a pity that I still had a glimmer of hope, but now it seems that it's really... powerless to save the situation."

Yan Ruyu narrowed her eyes slightly. Madam Qiu had been silent and evasive just now, but now she started crying again. This change of emotion was too sudden.

Mrs. Qiu probably doesn't know that there is a huge difference between real crying and fake crying.

However, Yan Ruyu didn't have to expose her now. It would be enough to confirm it from her reaction and get the answer she wanted.

"Mrs. Qiu, please accept my condolences."

"Thank you, Princess."

Yan Ruyu said no more and pulled Huo Changhe away.

Seeing them walking away, Mrs. Qiu hurried back to look for her husband.

Huo Changhe said coldly: "There are no good people in the Qiu family. If you hadn't reminded her, she would still be kept in the dark, crying and sad. Now that it is confirmed, she refuses to admit it."

"This is really unreasonable!"

Yan Ruyu was also a little annoyed, but it was also expected.

"She probably also thought that Qiu Keshi used this trick to fake his death to evade responsibility. Now that she knew this, she didn't want to reveal her son's whereabouts, even though she still didn't know where Qiu Keshi was."

"Let's go back home."

Huo Changhe pulled Yan Ruyu away, feeling so annoyed. He couldn't stand being in this shabby place for even a moment.

Yan Ruyu pointed to the house next to her and said, "Since we are here, let's go and take a look."

The last time Li Jingyao came, he set a fire over there. I wonder if it has been repaired now.

However, the people living inside should still be there. Since that night, we have sent secret guards to keep an eye on the place, but nothing unusual has been found.

Huo Changhe took her to the house next door and saw the study room that had been burned down. It had not been repaired yet, or rather, it had not been repaired at all and was still in the same state as when it was burned down.

Looking at these ruins, Yan Ruyu had a bad feeling in her heart.

Could it be that... the key figures here have already left, and those who are left are insignificant people, is this an illusion?

The two of them walked around the house, and Yan Ruyu became more and more certain that her guess was correct.
