32. Chapter 32(2/2)
But Pei Jingzhe ignored him and asked Butler Lu to take them to the mourning hall and invite Lu Ti over.
The coffin had already been closed, and the hall used to entertain guests was temporarily changed into a mourning hall. The basin for burning paper money was ready, but there was nothing inside. The mistress of the Lu family, Li, was wearing plain clothes and sat in a daze in the hall, staring at the coffin in a daze, turning a deafening look at the maids on both sides. The Lu family, which was once full of guests, looked more and more desolate.
Cui Bulu crossed the threshold, took the incense from his maid, bowed to the coffin, walked over to burn the incense himself, and then came to Li.
"Sad."
Li was already heartbroken, his face was sallow, and he didn't even care about his usual carefully maintained face.
After hearing this, she did not react anyway, and the woman beside her had to greet her: "Thank you, Master Cui."
Cui Bulu said, "I want to open the coffin and perform the autopsy."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was shocked.
Not only was the servants of the Lu family in an uproar, but Li, who was stunned just now, also raised his head to look at him.
Butler Lu was furious: "Aren't you here to burn incense?"
Cui Bugu: "I am here to pay condolences and investigate the case. I suspect that there is something else that is strange about your little lady's death."
Butler Lu: "Master Cui, I respect you for your kindness to our mistress Lu family, but you can't be a fool and become a lackey in Jiejian Mansion!"
Pei Jingzhe curled his lips and thought to himself that our Jiejian Mansion could not attract this great Buddha.
Cui Bugu woke up and his vitality had not yet recovered. He felt tired from walking, so he took the initiative to find an empty seat without waiting for his master to greet him.
"Stop talking nonsense, I can just open it. Do you still want me to do it yourself?" He said impatiently to Pei Jingzhe.
"Whoever dares to open the coffin, step over my body first!"
Luti rushed over and heard Cui Bugui's last words. She was furious and wished she could roll up her sleeves and beat Cui Bugui to death.
Seeing this, Qiao Xian stepped forward and pushed Luti. She was a fairy in white clothes, and seemed to have no force to push Luti so hard that she couldn't help but step back five or six steps, grabbing the wall beside her to stabilize her body.
Cui Bugu was too lazy to talk nonsense with them, so he just put down two words.
"Open the coffin!"
When Pei Jingzhe came out of Fengxiao, he had already received instructions. Fengxiao told him that as long as Cui did not agree to help, he would do whatever the other party said.
Since the other party had something to say, although this request sounded unreliable, the Jie Jian Mansion and the Lu family had already had a stalemate and didn't care about this more. He no longer hesitated, stepped forward a few steps, walked to the coffin, reached out to use internal force, pushed the lid hard, and lifted it open.
Seeing this, the Lu couple couldn't help but let out a cry of grief.
