The daughter of a noble family is reborn, and she is doted on by her godmother.

Chapter 159

Yuan Chen and Xu Huibing hurriedly stopped Yun Qingjin while shouting loudly.

"Qingqing, please accept my condolences. Boss Yun... she's really gone!"

"Waaaaah! I don't believe it! I don't believe it! Mother just went out to buy goods! How could she be gone?"

The three people were speaking very loudly, and the employees of Yunji Restaurant outside were also listening. Once they heard that the identity of the deceased had been confirmed, some of the employees knocked on the door and prepared to come in.

"Boss Xiaoyun! What's going on!"

Xu Huibing opened the door, her face filled with grief, and announced to those outside.

"It seems that Boss Yun has encountered an enemy... she..."

Yun Qingjin laid down the body and rushed out the door.

The shop assistants stopped Yun Qingjin, "Little Yun, don't do anything foolish!"

"Quickly, send someone to report to the authorities! I need to find the murderer!"

“Then I’ll report it to the authorities!” one of the shop assistants said.

"Is it really Boss Yun? How is that possible! This is too sudden... Also... should we start making preparations for the funeral?"

Yuan Chen also came out of the house. As a veteran of Yunji, her appearance was quite intimidating.

"Phew... Although I really don't want to admit it..." Yuan Chen adjusted his emotions several times, took a few breaths, and finally expressed his judgment.

"Based on her clothes and accessories, she should indeed be our boss, Yun Yuke..."

"No! I don't believe it!" Although Yun Qingjin was being held back by the other shop assistants, she still struggled with all her might, even rushing directly to Yuan Chen. "Sister Chenchen! You said you saw wrong, that's not my mother..."

Yun Qingjin deliberately tilted her head back and fainted. (Of course, it was an act.)

"Qingqing! Quick, Huibing, send Qingqing back immediately." Although Yuan Chen was well aware of the arrangement, he did not expect the girl to be so engrossed in the role. If something happened to the girl, it would be a great loss.

Yuan Chen composed himself and instructed the others on what to do next.

"Yunji will temporarily suspend operations and stop accepting new customers. For goods that need to be delivered during this period, each order should be assigned to a specific person to ensure that there are no delays."

"...Boss Yun...sigh, perhaps what Qingqing said is right. Let's put it another way...the body was dumped in front of our door, we should still report it to the authorities..."

"The Prefect of the Capital has already sent people." Someone at the door saw that the Prefect of the Capital's constables had arrived and announced this to the shop.

"Okay, cooperate fully." Yuan Chen nodded and instructed the goalkeeper to pay attention.

"A funeral... let's send someone to invite a funeral director," Yuan Chen muttered. "Who would be a good choice in the capital..."

After that, Yunji had a lot to deal with.

A car accident involving a body dumping—regardless of who the victim was, such a case is shocking to the entire capital. It's safe to say that this is not something Yunji can handle on its own.

In broad daylight, a seemingly indistinguishable speeding car fell from the sky, seemingly to dump a body – a truly bizarre case.

The body suspected to belong to Boss Yun was dragged back to the government office by the constables of the Prefect of the Capital, and handed over to the Prefect to send a coroner for a detailed investigation before making a judgment.

Regardless of the circumstances, Yunji still arranged for a funeral director to preside over a series of subsequent ceremonies.

Yun Qingjin's feigned unconsciousness didn't last long, after all, she couldn't put all the blame on Sister Yuan Chen.

After being unconscious for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Yun Qingjin recovered. When she came out, she had a white cloth tied around her head, her face was ashen, and she looked like she was in pain.

A makeshift mourning hall had been set up at the entrance of Yunji Restaurant, but no words were written on the memorial tablets inside.

In the capital, the person in charge of the funeral arrangements for the female guests, named Madam Fang, is already busy at the Yun residence.

After the Prefect of the Capital came, it was considered that Yuan Chen's judgment was confirmed.

It's hard to say whether the body belongs to Boss Yun.

That's why Madam Fang said to leave the memorial tablet empty for now and put the items on it first. There would be time to write the memorial tablet after the identities were confirmed.

Even if it is later discovered that the body is not that of Boss Yun, giving a final farewell to a woman who has unfortunately passed away can still be considered as accumulating merit.

"The Prefect of the Capital has already investigated, and the head constable said that the most important thing is that flying car."

Yuan Chen relayed the results of the investigation by the Prefect of the Capital to Yun Qingjin. Both of them wore white cloths tied around their waists, not in full mourning attire.

"Those in the capital who can send out flying chariots are either rich or noble."

Since this was in front of others, they couldn't be too explicit. So even though Yuan Chen and Yun Qingjin knew that Yun Yuke's enemy was the Grand Preceptor Fan, they had to pretend they knew nothing and maintain a sorrowful demeanor.

"Boss Yun! What happened?"

An anxious voice came from behind Yun Qingjin; it was Lady Su Ru, the wife of the Marquis of Changxing.

"As soon as I heard that something happened here, I rushed over. Ms. Qing... Ms. Yun, the one who had the accident... was it your adoptive mother?"

Yun Qingjin wiped away her tears, stood up, and bowed to Su Ru.

“My adoptive mother found me in the mountains back then. If it weren’t for her, I would have died there long ago. My adoptive mother’s kindness is as heavy as a mountain, and I, Yun Qingjin, can never repay her even if I die ten thousand times.”

Su Ru nodded emphatically, "I understand, you're a good child... I'll go offer incense to Boss Yun..."

"Madam! Your status is so important..." A maidservant whispered a reminder to the Lady of the Marquis.

“I am a mother first, and then a lady of the Marquis! Didn’t you hear? Boss Yun has done a favor for Boss Yun, it’s just a matter of offering incense.”

Ignoring everything else, Su Ru went straight to the incense burner and bowed several times.

Yun Qingjin returned the greeting and stepped forward to help the Lady Hou up, saying, "You're so kind, Madam."

Seeing that Yun Qingjin's attitude had softened, Su Ru grasped Yun Qingjin's hand in return, wanting to take the opportunity to acknowledge the child as her own. She waved for someone to bring a food box.

"Qingqing, these next few days will probably be tough. I've asked the Marquis's residence to prepare some vegetarian dishes for you. It's just a token of my appreciation."

"...Madam, Yunji has encountered an unexpected situation, and it is really difficult to receive guests these days. You should return to the Marquis's residence first. Once things have settled down, Qingqing will definitely come to return the favor."

Yun Qingjin took the food box and forced a smile.

He really didn't want to deal with Lady Hou anymore, so he persuaded her to go back after a few words.

Afterwards, a large crowd gathered around Yunji, including Yunji's customers and onlookers who wanted to see what was going on.

Yun Qingjin stood outside the door the whole time. After all, as the daughter of the deceased, she couldn't skip the proper etiquette.

It's also a great spot by the entrance, making it easy for Yun Qingjin to observe the onlookers.

From the moment the corpse fell from the sky, Yun Qingjin sensed something strange about her surroundings.

Many spies had appeared around her shop, keeping watch on it. While feigning unconsciousness, Yun Qingjin used her divine sense to survey the surroundings and indeed discovered several people skilled in martial arts, who remained motionless.

These people must be the experts sent by the Grand Preceptor Fan.

The gruesome knife wounds on the fake corpse were likely added later to cover up fatal injuries. That's what Yun Qingjin thought when she first saw the body.

So the mother used a fake corpse to deceive the Grand Preceptor Fan, and the Grand Preceptor Fan also discovered that the corpse was fake. That's why he disfigured the body and threw it at the entrance of the Yun residence to cause chaos and lure out Yun Yuke, the snake.

Therefore, Yun Qingjin must not panic; she must pretend to be heartbroken so that outsiders will not discover any flaws.

The key question is... how did Grand Preceptor Fan know to use the Cloud Record to intimidate?

Yun Yuke's true identity... even Yun Qingjin only recently learned about it...

How did it get exposed right after Yun Yuke went to see Grand Preceptor Fan?

Before Yun Qingjin's eyes came the food box from the Marquis of Changxing's residence.
