Chapter 8 A man's face, the source of trouble
"The status of our Zhenguo General Mansion in Dachen is already the highest. My mother was born in the Anguo Duke Mansion, and my aunt is the current queen mother." Shan Li's tone did not sound boastful, but rather a little helpless.
It sounds like this, the General's Mansion is really a royal family with outstanding achievements. They have real power and prestige. I don't know if the person sitting on the dragon throne feels uneasy or if the chair is still stable.
"The General's Mansion is now in a state of turmoil. We can no longer marry noble ladies. But we can't marry women from low-class families either. So your Song family is very suitable at this time." At this point, Shan Li glanced at Song Qingci and continued, "Shangshu Song is a nobleman in the capital and has no clique foundation. So..."
I understand. They are called noble families. They are just peasants. They have no other support except themselves. The position of Minister of Rites is not low either. It is a second-rank official position. Although the general guarding the country is a super-rank official, Shan Li, the newly appointed general Xuanwu, is only a third-rank official. Marrying a daughter is not considered marrying up.
By this calculation, it really is a win-win situation for everyone.
Song Qingci suddenly smiled. She stared at Shan Li's face, looking carefully over and over. Shan Li's ears suddenly turned red. He turned his head away and said unnaturally, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Nothing, I just want to take a closer look at this face. Wow, these eyebrows, this temperament, what a handsome young man~~" Song Qingci couldn't help laughing after he finished speaking.
Her sudden laughter dazzled Shan Li's eyes.
When he reacted, he realized that he was just teased by her?!
''What do you mean?''
Stopping his smile, Song Qingci pointed at Shan Li's face and said, "Since this marriage has nothing to do with the court or the political situation, then you are the only one left. To be honest, how many women in this capital city are envious of you?"
"You mean, the one who hit you was a woman?!" Shan Li is not stupid, he is just a bit straight.
Song Qingci stopped talking, and he reacted immediately. But he still couldn't believe it. He was away from home all year round. He only came back to Beijing occasionally. He hadn't been close to any women in these years. How could a woman kill his new wife because of him? And it seemed that there was more than one person.
"Yes, otherwise, do you have any other explanation?" "When a woman's jealousy gets crazy, it's very scary. When she was in Lingxiao, she went on a mission. A female Gu Master, who couldn't get the love she wanted, not only poisoned all the women around the man to death, but also made the man into a living Gu. She still can't forget the scene she saw in the female Gu Master's lair. It was too scary! After she came back, she only ate vegetarian food for a long time.
"Do you want to think carefully about who has the biggest motive?" She had no clues on this aspect. The original owner's memory did not have this part. Before the wedding, the original owner had never seen Shan Li. Oh, no, it should be said that the original owner had never seen Shan Li before she died. When she was picking up the bride and worshipping in the hall, she was covered with a veil and could not see anything at all. Before Shan Li returned to her room, she had been poisoned to death.
Since I traveled through time last night, I have only seen people from the General’s Mansion.
Shan Li really couldn't think of it. He had never had any contact with any women. The women he had contact with were either relatives or elders, or sisters at home. Even the people who served him were servants and guards, and there were no maids.
Seeing Shan Li's confused look, Song Qingci knew that this guy also had no clues at all.
Oh, for women, these straight men and scumbags are both deadly creatures. Straight men are like "I don't think anyone loves me", and scumbags are like "I don't think anyone doesn't love me".
"Forget it. From your look, you don't know who the suspects are. Then, let me investigate." Song Qingci inherited the body of the original owner, which was considered a favor from her. She would repay a favor and a grudge.
Find the person who poisoned her to death, and then return the favor. This can be considered revenge for her.
"Shan Li, how much power can you give me in this general's mansion?" Song Qingci asked formally. This was also the first time she called him by his name.
"How much power do you want?" Shan Li asked.
"I don't like to be constrained when doing things. So, of course, the more power, the better. But don't worry. I am not a power-hungry person. After I have done what I want to do, I can also be a salted fish in this Chixiao Courtyard." After helping the original owner to avenge, she will lie down for a while and live a carefree life. Then she can leave this general's mansion and live a life of leisure.
Shan Li didn't understand what "being a salted fish" meant, but that didn't stop him from understanding it by looking at the context.
"In this general's mansion, you can do whatever you want, and Feng Yi and Feng Er can also obey your orders. But the premise is that they don't harm my family." Shan Li inexplicably believed in her ability, but he was also a little afraid of her ability. He knew that if she really wanted to do something to hurt his family, he couldn't stop her at all. If she wanted to kill everyone in this mansion, it would only take a few breaths. Even if she wanted to kill him, it would be easy.
"Of course. I'm not a bloodthirsty devil. I kill people for fun. As long as the poisoning has nothing to do with your family, I won't do anything to them. I can also promise you that as long as I stay in the general's mansion, I will keep it safe." She was repaying him for what he had done.
"Thank you very much." He believed that she would keep her word.

"Okay, now that we've finished our business, I'm hungry. When can I have breakfast?" She got up at the beginning of the Mao hour, changed the furniture, and went to pay respects. Now it's already the Si hour. She's really hungry.
Although there are a lot of food in her space, they are basically compressed food and fast food, such as compressed biscuits, chocolate, instant noodles, etc. She stockpiled them for the convenience of missions. In [Lingxiao], in addition to her strong combat power, she also has an added value, which is everyone's mobile warehouse.
There were quite a lot of those things, and because I was too lazy to restock, I remember that I just swept through several food factories at once. Anyway, they wouldn't expire if they were kept in the space. And it was [Ling Xiao] who paid for them. It would be a waste if she didn't want them. But she wasn't starving to death, she just didn't want to eat those things.
For her, only good food and handsome men are worth living up to. Eating good food and seeing handsome men are both enjoyable.
