”You actually have this kind of ability? ”Don't tell me that you learned this from a certain book collection when you were a child. Only ghosts would believe you!” Fourth Prince crossed his arms in front of his chest, waiting for Qin Feng to make up any other excuses.

Qin Feng knew that these words were something that Fourth Prince would not believe sooner or later, but how could she tell him that she actually came here from the modern world after a very, very long time? If she said that, the Fourth Prince would treat him like a fool.

No one would believe such a thing. Rather than saying it, it would be better to just leave it unspoken. Leaving such a mysterious feeling behind would cause people to feel a sense of reverence. Humans would feel a sense of respect for things that they did not understand.

”Then how do you want me to tell you? There are many things about me that you don't know. You can slowly understand it in the future.” Qin Fei said to the Fourth Prince.

Fourth Prince was a little unhappy in his heart, because what Qin Feng had said to him made him feel like a country bumpkin. Although he, a dignified prince, did not dare to say that he was knowledgeable about the affairs of the world, at the very least, he was a knowledgeable and knowledgeable scholar.

Fourth Prince said with a sigh, ”Sometimes I really wonder if you are that young miss of the General's Estate. There was a rumor in Xuanyuan City that the young miss of the General's Estate did not have a second young miss to be pampered. ”But you are not weak at all. You are simply too heroic.”

”Actually, what you heard was not wrong. I was extremely weak before and was bullied by others. But after I died once, I changed. I won't let anyone bully me again. As long as it's someone who dares to challenge us, I will return it a thousand times over. ” Qin Feng did not lie. In the memories left behind by his previous life, his previous life was truly miserable.

Fourth Prince looked at Qin Feng's casual words without a trace of pain, but her heart still did not feel the pain that came from nowhere. Perhaps Qin Feng was right. Only those who had died once would be able to understand the profound mysteries of life and death, and would be able to live to their true self.

There was a period of silence between the two, but in the end it was Qin Feng who broke the deadlock and said to Fourth Prince: ”Let's take me to see Zhou Yixue's corpse first. Right now, the most important thing is to find the mastermind behind this and then defeat him!”

”I reckon that the corpse has already been passed to Zhou Yixue's widow and should be left in the mourning hall. It's not good for us to go over and check on the body now. ” The Fourth Prince thought, after all the other party's husband had died, so if he went with him, it would only make others sad.

Qin Feng didn't think this way: ”Zhou Yixue died perfectly fine, I think his wife wants to know what happened exactly, and why she doesn't want us to solve this mystery, so Zhou Yixue can die in peace.”

Fourth Prince thought for a moment, then nodded and said, ”Alright, but it can't be just the two of us. Even if it's the prince, he has no reason to search the corpses of other people.

”Master Li?” Qin Feng asked curiously.

”Yes, this Master Li is also someone who is in charge of dealing with Zhou Yixue's case. Since he is going to appear, I think it will be much smoother for me to return.”

”That's good as well. After we have a look at the corpses, we can have him help find the person who casted the crossbow.”

As a result, Fourth Prince and Qin Feng left the backyard from the entrance, observing and wondering if anyone was following them. Luckily, there weren't any suspicious people.

When the Fourth Prince arrived at the yamen, he lit up his signboard and told Xue Ming his purpose there. Xue Ming also agreed without hesitation, because he really wanted to know exactly what was going on.

When the three of them arrived at Zhou Yixue's residence, although it wasn't as impressive as the Duke Palaces, this courtyard wasn't too bad either. It could be seen how wealthy Zhou Yixue was.

The Zhou Mansion had already been set up with a mourning hall, and white cloth hung from the doorposts. The entire mansion was filled with a desolate atmosphere. There were quite a few people who came to offer their condolences, Qin Feng carefully observed for a while, but did not find anyone whose expression was off.

Zhou Yixue's widow and his two sons knelt there crying bitterly. The eldest son was already married, and the woman beside him was his wife.

His youngest son was only six years old, but he already knew something. He knew that his father was lying there and would never be able to get up again. His tears were like beads with a broken string, making people sad.

This scene made Qin Feng feel extremely uncomfortable. The departure of his family was something that was difficult to accept. She thought back to her previous life. If she died just like that, and the white-haired man gave away the black-haired man, how sad would his parents be? How sad would they be? They had raised him for more than twenty years, and before she had a chance to show some filial piety, they had left the two old men behind.

Fourth Prince looked at Qin Feng who had tears in her eyes and thought to herself, It's said that her birth mother died young when she was young, but his father quickly married another woman and from now on, he was no longer the favoured young miss, but a pitiful child that anyone could bully.

”What do we do? There are too many mourners. We can't start the autopsy right now, can we?” Xue Ming said to Qin Feng with great respect.
