"There is no final decision on this matter.
I don't want my wife to go back."
After Mrs.
Guojiu said this, she sat on a stone bench nearby.
Mrs.
Cui Hou sneered, "Master Zhang has left.
Since Mrs.
Guo has such ability, she will investigate it herself."
Mrs.
Guojiu smiled contemptuously, "He is Jing Zhaoyin.
I didn't believe that he was serious, so she just walked away like this."
Mrs.
Cuihou ignored her anymore.
Even though she was angry, now was not the time to argue, so she simply turned and left.
Cui Ming was kneeling on the ground.
Mu Ziyan and Lady Lu came out and were about to leave.
Upon seeing this, Mr.
Cui hurriedly stepped forward and said, "You two girls, this is" "The uncle's wife is quite powerful.
She would rather leave her young lady's body there to be embarrassed than live up to her taste.
Since she looks down on civilian girls, why should civilian girls bother with this?"
Mu Ziyan snorted, " Lord Marquis, you should ask someone else to do this.
Even if the emperor wants to punish you, the daughter of the people will admit it. " "This" Mr.
Cui Hou had an even bigger headache now.
It was so hard for Zhang Zong to come to investigate the case, but now he was disturbed by this uncle's wife.
His face turned dark immediately, and when he turned his eyes, he saw that Mrs.
Cui Hou was also gloomy.
Come out with a face.
"Why did you come out?"
Mr.
Cui said in a deep voice.
"Master, my uncle's wife is very capable and I can't afford to mess with you."
Mrs.
Cui Hou lowered her eyes and glanced at Cui Ming, "Ming'er, if you have any shortcomings, my mother will let you go."
Cui Ming lowered his eyes and said nothing.
He was extremely depressed at the moment.
Lan Xiner was the one he didn't want to marry, but this happened inexplicably today.
He still hasn't come to his senses yet.
When Mu Ziyan saw Cui Ming lowering his head and not reacting at all, he couldn't help but feel that this person was calm.
He turned to look at Mr.
Cui Ming, and then said, "Goodbye, the daughter of the people."
After that, he and Lady Lu walked out together.
Zhang Zong said at this moment, "Master Hou, I will go to the palace to report this matter to the emperor.
I will definitely let the capable people come."
"Oops."
Mr.

Cui Hou said quickly, "Master Zhang, who else but you is in charge of this matter now?"
"I am an official of the imperial court, but I was accused by the uncle's wife of having an affair without a matchmaker.
I am not worthy to interfere in the affairs of the uncle's house."
Zhang Zong said in a deep voice, turned around and walked out.
"Nonsense!"
Zhang Zong was about to leave when he bumped into Uncle Guo who was coming towards him.
He had a square face and seemed to have an upright attitude.
He took a step forward, looked at Zhang Zong and lowered his head.
He said, "Why should Mr.
Zhang take the views of women to heart?"
"This is what the country's uncle means.
If a civilian girl says that the country's uncle sees his daughter being insulted, he only goes to file a complaint, but insists on leaving her there with only a robe covering her.
Behind the rockery, this is the first time a civilian girl has seen such a shameless father," Mu Ziyan said coldly.
"Presumptuous" Uncle Guo looked at Mu Ziyan and shouted sternly.
"People's daughters are naturally wanton, but according to what the country's uncle just said, people's girls are just women's opinions.
You are the country's uncle, so why should you take it to heart?"
Mu Ziyan retorted without being humble or overbearing.
Looking at the uncle of the country, he said, "The women of the people want to He said, although Mrs.
Guojiu has a noble status, insulting a third-rank official is equivalent to a slap in the emperor's face.
If this matter is reported to the Emperor, even if Concubine Liu intercedes, Mrs.
Guojiu's mouth will probably be torn apart.
It’s rotten” "If you go by what you said, and you speak like this to my uncle now, should I tear your mouth to pieces?"
Uncle Guo narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice.
"The civilian girl simply risked her life.
If the civilian girl told this matter, the uncle of the country would become a famous celebrity in the capital.
Even if the civilian girl's mouth is torn apart, it is worth it."
Mu Ziyan said slowly After saying that, Fu Shen said, "If uncle Guo doesn't take action, then the daughter of the people will follow Mr.
Zhang into the palace."
"What a loud tone."
Mrs.
Guojiu stepped forward and shouted angrily at Mu Ziyan, "Whoever comes here, don't tear her mouth to pieces."
Mu Ziyan raised her eyebrows and looked at Mrs.
Guojiu with a smile, "Mrs.
Guojiu, you can give it a try, but I can't guarantee that if Mrs.
Guoji takes action, in less than half an hour, there will be news in the capital about Uncle Guo."
News about Madam using her power to bully others.”
Mrs.
Guojiu's eyes narrowed slightly and she said in a deep voice, "Huh, then I have to tear your mouth to pieces first."
Mu Ziyan glanced at the angry face of Mrs.
Guojiu lightly.
When Mrs.
Guojiu's people came forward, Zhang Zong said in a deep voice, "Come here, take down Mrs.
Guojiu."
"Yes."
The officer behind him took the order and stepped forward to capture the uncle's wife.

"What are you doing?"
Uncle Guo looked at Zhang Zong coldly, his expression cold.
"Uncle Guo, I don't know that your majestic Uncle Guo actually dares to let his wife insult me.
Just now, I want to show some kindness to Uncle Guo.
If Uncle Guo wants to If you want to stop her, I will tell you the truth.
As for now, I will take Mrs.
Guo back to Jingzhao Yinfu Yamen.
"Zhang Zong.
His face was condensed, and he immediately became angry.
With his original temper, how could he tolerate the uncle's wife being so presumptuous in front of him?
If he could say those words, he would make the uncle's wife unable to eat and walk away.
It was only because of concerns about Mu Ziyan and Madam Lu that she took a step back, which only encouraged the other party's arrogance.
He then opened the imperial edict, "Anyone who dares to obstruct my handling of the case will be punished with a thirty-year rod."
After Zhang Zong said this, he turned around and walked out of Cuihou Mansion without looking at Uncle Guo.
Uncle Guo was stunned on the spot, as well as Mr.
Cui Hou and Mrs.
Cui Hou.
It was not until Mu Ziyan and Madam Lu left with Zhang Zong that the two of them looked at each other and raised their eyes to look at Uncle Guo.
Master, he snorted coldly, turned around and entered the front hall.
This uncle is the brother of Concubine Liu.
Although he will not commit any murders or arson, it is common for him to be domineering.
Especially this uncle and his wife are notoriously domineering people. , his eyes were higher than his head, and he had offended many people.
Now that he saw Cui Marquis treating him like this, he just snorted coldly, threw up his sleeves and left, without paying any attention to the man who was still lying behind the rockery.
His own daughter.
Mu Ziyan only said that this uncle and his wife were really the best of the weird.
They only cared about their own face and did not care about their daughter at all.
She and Madam Lu were sitting in the carriage, with a cold expression on her face, and whispered, "The corpse of the lady from the uncle's residence."
"Hey."
Madam Lu sighed and said angrily, "Today I must make my uncle and wife remember a little more."
Mu Ziyan had never seen Madam Lu so angry before, and immediately said, "Yes, let her learn a lesson."
Before Zhang Zong left, he had ordered people to enter the rockery, collect the body of the lady, and carry it back to Jingzhao Yinfu Yamen.
After arriving at the government office, Zhang Zongtie got off his horse with a livid face, and immediately entered the court wearing official robes.
Mrs.
Guojiu was escorted into the court by two government officials.
Mrs.
Guojiu had never seen such a battle before, and she immediately shouted, "You are just a third-grade official, and I am a second-grade wife.
How dare you touch me?"
"So what if you are a second-rank officer?"
Zhang Zong then picked up the imperial edict in his hand, "Under the emperor's imperial edict, anyone who dares to obstruct my handling of the case will be punished as a crime regardless of rank."
"Hello, Zhang Zong, what did I say wrong about you eating and living with that shameless woman?
Isn't it true that you had an affair without a matchmaker?"
Mrs.
Guojiu was furious.
She was used to being lawless, but now she didn't care about this.
Wherever he was, he started to curse angrily.

At this time, Mu Ziyan and Madam Lu arrived just in time.
She turned around and saw Madam Lu's eyes filled with cold light.
Madam Lu had never seen such a look before.
She whispered, "Sister Lu, leave this matter to me."
Brother Zhang.”
"Yes."
Mrs.
Lu nodded and responded, then she restrained her cold glare, turned around and went behind the screen.
Zhang Zong said in a deep voice, "Palm your mouth" "Yes."
The officer on the side accepted the order, then took the token and stepped forward to hit it.
With a "pop" sound, the token hit the white cheek of Mrs.
Guo's wife, and a red mark immediately appeared.
"Ah" Mrs.
Guojiu screamed in pain and tried to break away from the two government servants who were holding her down.
However, she was not strong enough, so she could only shake randomly.
Her bun was messy and her hairpins were scattered on the floor.
Before Mrs.
Guojiu could react, she hit the second paddle, and then the third paddle, dozens of times in succession.
From the initial scream, Mrs.
Guojiu only made a "buzzing" sound.
His voice was loud, his cheeks were already red and swollen, and his whole face looked like a pig's head from a distance.
What Uncle Guo saw when he arrived was the scene in front of him.
He was so angry that he ran straight to the court, but was stopped by the government officials.
Zhang Zong looked coldly at Uncle Guo's wife as she collapsed on the ground.
However, he did not feel soft-hearted at all, but was cold.
He said in a voice, "Pull off the stick and punish him for thirty years, handcuff him in shackles, and kneel outside the yamen for a day."
"Yes."
This is no different from the woman in the back house.
What she wants is to be quick and agile.
The Yamen servants will not be lenient, so they immediately dragged Guojiu's wife out.
The attack was ruthless.
Guojiu's wife was slapped, and she couldn't scream at all.
He came out, his voice was hoarse now, but his voice was gone.
After the beating, half of his life was lost.
When Uncle Guo looked at it, he just felt that his wife was not being hit.
It was clearly a slap on his face, and the slap was loud.
Now that he saw Mrs.
Guo being escorted and kneeling outside the yamen, he immediately surrounded him.
Few people came to watch.
Some people began to whisper.
There are many people in the capital who have been insulted by this uncle's wife.
Now they see her wearing luxurious clothes, her hair is messy, and her back is stained with blood.
The people are not worried.
Those who sympathized with him applauded happily.
This made the uncle very angry.

Thinking that he was surrounded by people wherever he went, but now he was ridiculed like this.
He turned around and hurried into the palace to file a complaint.
Zhang Zong turned around and entered the back hall, looking at Lady Lu with a condensed expression.
Seeing this, Madam Lu whispered, "I'd better go."
"Why are you leaving?"
Zhang Zong was anxious at that moment.
He suddenly stepped forward, and he didn't know where the courage came from.
He said in one breath, "Can't you see my heart for you?
I don't know what you are worried about, but when I am here, I won't let you be wronged.
I don't have much ability.
Even if I sit in this position, I haven't saved any savings.
I only rely on my salary to survive.
If you don't dislike my dull temper, you can accept me. " Madam Lu looked at him, her eyes filled with tears, she turned around and ran out without answering.
Zhang Zong was stunned now and seemed at a loss.
Mu Ziyan sighed, "Why don't you chase me?"
"Oh."
Only then did Zhang Zong react, and he quickly chased after him.
Mu Ziyan clapped her hands and said, "This is considered a good thing is about to happen."
She looked at Mrs.
Guo outside and knew that Uncle Guo must have gone to complain.
She narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "Yinyi, Uncle Guo accidentally broke his leg while riding.
This is a common thing."
"Yes."
Yin Yi accepted the order and went to do it.
Uncle Guo rushed to the palace on horseback.
He was halfway through the ride and exited the busiest street.
When he turned the corner, he didn't know where the horse came from.
He was suddenly frightened and then galloped forward.
Uncle Guo The master quickly grabbed the horse's rein and tried to steady it, but he didn't know that the horse seemed to be crazy.
Then suddenly his two front hooves fell forward, and Uncle Guo was thrown out.
He knelt on the ground with his hands in a daze.
At that moment, he heard the sound of his knees shattering, and Uncle Guo wailed in pain.
After making a sound, the guards behind him rushed over, and upon seeing this, they hurriedly carried him to the nearest hospital.
Uncle Guo covered his knees with his hands in pain.
When he arrived at the hospital, the doctor hurriedly went to diagnose and treat him.
He immediately sighed and said, "Uncle Guo's legs are broken and he needs to rest for a while."
"Broken bone."
Uncle Guo's eyes turned cold, "Go, why don't you go to the palace and ask for the imperial doctor."
"Yes."
The guard took the order and immediately took the uncle's sign and went to the palace.
And Uncle Guo was carefully carried back to Uncle Guo's house.
Where could he think about filing a complaint?
Now he only thought about his own legs, together with Mrs.
Guo who was kneeling pitifully outside the Yamen.
Except for his mother-in-law, no one cares about him.

Mu Ziyan waited for a while and saw Madam Lu walking over with her eyes lowered.
She stepped forward and said, "Sister Lu, just follow Brother Zhang."
"Girl, don't talk nonsense."
Madam Lu looked up at her and whispered, "You are not allowed to talk nonsense in the future.
How can a woman who has not left the court say such wild words."
Mu Ziyan smiled lowly and said, "Yes."
Seeing her like this, Madam Lu said, "Let's go to Cuihou Mansion."
"Yes."
Mu Ziyan nodded and responded, looking up to see Zhang Zong coming over happily.
Mu Ziyan was happy immediately.
He didn't expect that his uncle's wife would make such a fuss, but instead let Zhang Zong tell the truth.
Now everyone was happy.
However, Mu Ziyan did not intend to let her go so easily.
He might as well let her kneel outside for a day as it was freezing cold.
Mrs.
Guojiu was sweating profusely in pain.
There was a cold wind blowing outside, and the people on the road were shivering from the cold.
But she was sweating profusely.
She looked up and saw the grandmother beside her.
She wanted to get up, but she didn't make any move.
She was so angry that she was gritting her teeth because she had no strength, and there were government servants watching from the side.
She only thought that after Uncle Guo entered the palace, she would definitely leave Zhang Zong with nothing to eat.
But as she knelt there, her whole body felt numb from the cold, her whole body was extremely stiff, and she was in so much pain that she couldn't move, but her uncle Guo hadn't come yet.
After Mu Ziyan and the others returned to Cui Hou Mansion, Cui Houye hurriedly stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Sir Zhang, tomorrow is the wedding day, so it would be better to close the case as soon as possible."
"Master Cui, I will investigate this matter myself, but I also need to know how the lady from my uncle's house died."
Zhang Zong looked at Cui Ming still kneeling on the ground.
Cui Ming knelt like this.
Lord Cui turned to look at Cui Ming and said in a deep voice, "Don't say anything yet."
Cui Ming then raised his head.
Now Zhang Zongke knew why Cui Ming lowered his head.
It was just because his nose and face were bruised and swollen.
Now his handsome appearance was nowhere to be seen.
His current appearance was really miserable.
Mu Ziyan and Madam Lu naturally saw it.
They lowered their eyes and coughed a few times before walking to one side in silence.
When Mu Ziyan and Madam Lu left the Jingzhao Yin Mansion Office, they carried back the After examining the young lady's body, a preliminary judgment was made.
So now he went to the back of the rockery again.
Mu Ziyan looked at it carefully, and then looked at Madam Lu, "Sister Lu, how far is it from the front of the rockery?"
"You are saying that although this rockery is a hidden place, it is not the best place to have fun," Lady Lu continued.
"Yes."
Mu Ziyan nodded and responded, then squatted down and glanced at the marks on the ground, including the blood stains on the skin that had been scratched due to friction, and some dirty things.
She narrowed her eyes slightly and then took a look inside the rockery.
She remembered that when she came to Cuihou Mansion last time, she also observed Cuihou Mansion because of Cui Yunran's incident.
Now that she thought about it, there was something strange here.
Anyone who can think of this must be someone who is familiar with Cuihou Mansion.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
If Cui Ming really kidnapped the young lady and was discovered by others, it would be too much of a coincidence for Uncle Guo to break in directly with someone.
It's natural She raised her eyes and looked at Madam Lu, "Don't you think this matter is a little too obvious?"
"Deliberately."
Lady Lu continued.
"That's right."
Mu Ziyan nodded, "But it's a pity for this young lady from the uncle's residence."
"Hey."
Madam Lu sighed, "This is the tragedy of a lady from an aristocratic family.
A legitimate daughter has status, but a concubine can only bear it passively."
"Really?"
Mu Ziyan chuckled, "What about Zhong Xuan?
She is a concubine, but now she is the third prince's concubine."
"But most of them are like this."
Madam Lu looked at Mu Ziyan and said.
"Sister Lu now wants to discuss with me the distinction between concubines and concubines," Mu Ziyan continued, "Then I ask you, if Brother Zhang takes a concubine in the future, will you treat the children he gives birth to equally?"
Lady Lu whispered, "If he dares to take a concubine, I will make peace with him."
Lady Lu whispered.
"Sister Lu, in this world, male supremacy is supreme.
Any man who doesn't have three wives and four concubines, even those who are just traffickers, can't have only one wife."
Mu Ziyan whispered, "But, sister Lu, what you said I agree."
"You see everything so clearly."
Lady Lu smiled helplessly and then said, "I just think it's rare for a woman to have a choice."
Mu Ziyan raised her eyes and saw Zhang Zong coming.
She stood up and said, "Prince Cui can speak."
"How can I speak after being beaten like that?"
Zhang Zong continued, "I'm afraid my wedding tomorrow will be a joke."
"Yes, the groom is a pig."
Mu Ziyan curled her lips and smiled, "And the day before the wedding, he kidnapped the young lady from the uncle's house on the street and tortured her to death."
"But what did you find out?"
Zhang Zong also laughed, knowing that what he did was too obvious.
He was just taking the opportunity to humiliate Cui Ming, but the lady from the uncle's house became the scapegoat.
"What did Brother Zhang find out?"
Mu Ziyan asked in a low voice.
"Prince Cui is the victim in this matter."
Zhang Zong continued, "That lady was not his fault."
"I know."
Mu Ziyan continued, "That young lady was abused by another person, and then left her here, and then put Crown Prince Cui here.
Therefore, with such a loud noise outside, Crown Prince Cui himself It can’t be heard.”
"Yes."
Zhang Zong nodded, "But you found evidence."
"Evidence," Mu Ziyan continued, "If she was really here, the woman would definitely scream out, and others would certainly hear her.
Even if she did not dare to speak out, how could this young lady face being insulted?
I can't help but struggle, and everything around this place is neat and orderly.
There were no signs of struggle, only the hay here showed traces of being touched.
It was the murderer who dragged the humiliated deceased onto the hay, causing him to struggle while being humiliated, and then threw Prince Cui on the hay.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
This is why traces like this are left.”
"In that case, this is not the scene of the first murder," Zhang Zong said while looking at Mu Ziyan.
"Yes."
Mu Ziyan nodded in response, "As for the scene of the first murder, it should be in the Cuihou Mansion.
Moreover, the person who did this must have cooperated with the people in the Cuihou Mansion.
After all, he brought someone who had been insulted.
I am a woman, and I have to do all this before the people in the uncle's house make trouble.
The time required is very short. " "You are right."
Zhang Zong nodded.
"Then, the accomplice is still in Cui Hou's house."
Mu Ziyan whispered, then turned to look at Madam Lu beside him, and continued, "Sister Lu, I remember you said that when you were checking the body, you discovered A few hair strands that don’t belong to that lady” "Yes."
Lady Lu nodded and replied, "It belongs to another woman."
"What about the hair?"
Mu Ziyan asked next.
"I brought it."
Madam Lu then took out a white cloth and handed her the wrapped hair.
Mu Ziyan immediately took the hair, sniffed it carefully close to her nose, and then said, "There is a scent of wintersweet."
"Is there any?"
Madam Lu took it and sniffed it a few times, "How come I didn't smell anything."
Mu Ziyan smiled lightly and said, "Ordinary people can't smell it."
"Yes, your nose has been specially trained."
Lady Lu said with a smile.
Mu Ziyan acquiesced, and then turned to look at Mr.
Cui Hou and Madam Cui Hou who were following him, "May I ask, madam, whose yard here has wintersweet growing in it?"
"Wangmei" Mrs.
Cui Hou thought for a moment, "it's in the yard of the second younger brother and sister."
"Second Madam" Mu Ziyan asked next.
"Exactly."
Mrs.
Cui Hou looked at her, "Miss Lu Er wants to take a look."
"Okay."
Mu Ziyan nodded and followed Mrs.
Cuihou.
The group of people arrived at Mrs.
Cui's yard.
As expected, there were several wintersweet trees planted there.
Mu Ziyan stepped forward to take a look, then turned to look at the yard, and then walked towards the backyard.
Mrs.
Cui Er came out of the house and looked up at Mrs.
Cui Hou, "Sister-in-law, what's going on?"
Mrs.
Cuihou said in a low voice, "My brothers and sisters are at leisure."
Mrs.
Cui Er saw that Mrs.
Cui Hou was about to attack, and immediately said, "Not really, I was just a little sleepy just now, so I took a nap."
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
"Er Niang Lu has met the Second Madam."
Mu Ziyan stepped forward and said with a slight blessing when Madam Cui Hou spoke.
"You are Miss Lu Er."
Mrs.
Cui Er had heard of it, so she replied.
"Exactly."
Mu Ziyan said immediately, "Second Madam, the wintersweet in the yard is blooming very well, but I don't know who in the Marquis' residence has asked for wintersweet to see it in the past few days."
"Let me think about it."
Mrs.
Cui was silent for a moment, "It's true that the girl in front of the third lady broke a few branches yesterday."
"Third Miss" Mrs.
Cui Hou's eyes were slightly cold, "Second Miss Lu, how does this matter relate to Ming'er's incident?"
"Then who else is there?"
Mu Ziyan did not reply to Mrs.
Cui Hou, but looked at Mrs.
Cui Er and asked.
Mrs.
Cui Er saw that the wintersweet was related to Cui Ming's incident, and immediately said, "There is no one else."
Mu Ziyan smiled lowly and said, "Second Madam, I think it's not just Miss Three who is here."
"It's really only the third lady."
The second lady continued.
"The wintersweet trees that Er Niang saw just now are in full bloom, so there will be traces of them being broken off.
The Second Madam also gave them to another person."
Mu Ziyan continued.
Mrs.
Cui Er was obviously startled, but she denied it, "Really not."
"The Second Madam denies this, so this person must be related to the Second Fang."
Mu Ziyan said lightly, "Since the Second Madam is inconvenient to tell, Madam might as well send someone to find out."
When Mrs.
Cui Hou saw that Mrs.
Cui was hiding something, she immediately turned down and ordered people to go find her.
After a while, I saw grandma coming to report, "Madam, I found it in the third young master's house."
When Mrs.
Cui heard this, she immediately said, "Sister-in-law, Yuan'er will not harm the eldest young master."
"Humph."
Mrs.
Cui Hou looked at Mrs.
Cui Er, "We'll find out after we check."
She was not one of those ignorant people, but she wanted to find out the situation in person, so as not to disturb the Cuihou Mansion.
She was already angry when she thought that her son married Miss Lan Er.
It's been a while, and now I feel even more depressed.
I haven't even gotten married yet, but something like this happened.
If I get married in the future, it won't cause such a big fuss.
Seeing Mrs.
Cui Hou's sullen face, Mu Ziyan knew that she was so afraid that she was disgusted with Lan Xiner, but so what, Cui Hou's house made it clear that they were standing over the third prince, and they would definitely suffer.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
This humiliating.
If the Cuihou Mansion knew that Lan Xiner was the real head of the Lan family, it would be too late to flatter her, so why would they dislike her so much?
However, Mu Ziyan will definitely not tell the Cui Hou Mansion.
She is happy to watch the Lan family and the Cui family turn upside down, but before that, she must successfully let Lan Xiner marry into the Cui family.
Mu Ziyan thought of Cui Yuanlai, the third young master of Cuihou Mansion.
This person had mediocre qualifications and had no achievements.
He was just a man who lived a stable life.
She went to Cui Yuan's yard, and Cui Yuan was there.
When she saw Mu Ziyan, she was slightly startled, and stepped forward to salute Mrs.
Cui Hou and Mrs.
Cui, "Auntie, mother."
"Brother Yuan, where are the wintersweets in your house?"
Mrs.
Cui Hou said bluntly.
Cui Yuan then pointed to the treasure vase on the long table by the window, "It's always been there."
Mu Ziyan turned to look at the vase, then looked at the yard, and then walked to the window to take a look.
She happened to see the attic opposite the yard, and then looked at Cui Yuan, "Third Young Master, there is someone living next to the attic.
Who's "That is" Cui Yuan was about to say.
Then Mrs.
Cui rushed to say, "She is the girl from my mother's family."
"Oh."
Mu Ziyan continued, "Dare I ask?"
"Cousin Li."
Cui Yuan whispered when he saw that Mu Ziyan was still asking him.
"Miss Li has lived here for some time, right?"
Mu Ziyan asked lightly.
"Maybe, I just returned home in the past few days, so I don't know."
Cui Yuan replied truthfully.
Seeing how calmly he replied, Mu Ziyan knew that this matter had nothing to do with him.
This wintersweet, "Miss Li has been to the third young master's place before."
"I've been here before, and I've been here again today."
Cui Yuan continued, "I stood by the window and stared at the wintersweet for a long time."
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Mu Ziyan's mouth, and then he turned to look at Mrs.
Cui Hou, "Madam, I want to meet Miss Li."
"Okay."
Mrs.
Cui Hou nodded and responded.
In this situation, she could only follow Mu Ziyan's words.
Mrs.
Cui Er looked at Mu Ziyan and then Cui Yuan, feeling faintly uneasy in her heart.
Mu Ziyan walked out of Cui Yuan's yard.
Cui Yuan was stunned for a while, and then followed him.
After a while, they arrived in the small courtyard under the attic opposite, and saw a girl coming to greet her, "I have met the Madam and the Second Madam."
"Yes."
Mrs.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Cui Hou whispered, "Where is my cousin?"
"Back to Madam, the young lady just had some wind and is feeling a little unwell.
She is resting now.
I will go and ask the young lady to come out."
After that, the girl turned around and entered the house.
Mu Ziyan raised her eyes and looked around, then walked to the backyard.
Lady Lu came over and whispered, "This place looks like..."
"It's better to go for a walk."
Mu Ziyan said with a smile.
The two of them left through the back door.
In front of them was a bluestone path.
Once they passed this path and walked forward, they would reach the long corridor.
If they reached the rockery, it would be impossible, but if they walked through it along the wall on one side, , you can arrive quickly.
Mu Ziyan saw shoe prints along the wall, and turned to look at Madam Lu.
Then the two of them discovered that there was an abandoned penthouse here.
After entering, Mu Ziyan saw that it was full of There were blood stains and signs of struggle.
Madam Lu secretly cursed, "Beast."
Mu Ziyan's eyes darkened slightly, "It seems that this is the scene of the murder."
The two of them turned around and left.
When they returned to the courtyard, they saw a delicate woman coming forward.
Her appearance was somewhat beautiful, but her eyes had a hint of gloom and had lost their original beauty.
Mu Ziyan then stepped forward, took out the hair, and compared it, "Miss Li, this was found from the deceased."
"I don't know what this girl is talking about."
The woman in front of her looked up at her and said in confusion.
"I'll go take a look inside the house."
Madam Lu said and entered the house.
After a while, she took out a pair of shoes, the soles of which were covered with mud.
Mu Ziyan looked at her, "If Miss Li has forgotten, I might as well remember it for Miss Li."
"This girl, who are you?"
The eyes of the woman in front of her were filled with doubts, but there was a cold light in her eyes.
Mu Ziyan whispered, "Lv Erniang."
"Oh."
The woman whispered, "I've heard of it."
"Miss Li, please."
Mu Ziyan said, turning to look at Mrs.
Cui Hou, "Madam is coming with my second mother."
"Yes."
Mrs.
Cuihou saw the calmness flashing across Mu Ziyan's eyes.
She paused slightly and then followed.
Everyone followed, and Zhang Zong also rushed over at this moment.
Together with Mr.
Cui Hou, he followed Mu Ziyan and Madam Lu out of the back door, walked through the bluestone path, and then walked to the base of the wall.
Mu Ziyan immediately entered and placed the shoes on the shoe prints.
He raised his eyes and looked at Miss Li, "I don't know what Miss Li's explanation is."

"How do I know?"
The woman looked at her innocently, quite puzzled.
Mu Ziyan immediately led everyone to the abandoned wing on the side of the wall.
When everyone entered, they saw the scene in front of them and immediately knew that this was the scene of the first murder.
Zhang Zong turned to look at Mu Ziyan, "I found it, but why didn't the murderer clear this place?"
"He thought he did it perfectly, so he never expected anyone to find out."
Mu Ziyan looked at the woman in front of him, "Am I right, Miss Li?"
"So it's you."
Mrs.
Cui Hou stepped forward and gave Miss Li a slap in the face.
Mrs.
Cui Er also looked at her in disbelief, "How could that be?"
"It's not me."
The woman covered her face and immediately knelt on the ground.
Mu Ziyan continued, "Miss Li, first of all, you colluded with the murderer and locked the target.
The two of them acted separately.
You were responsible for taking care of the situation in the Marquis's residence, while the murderer kidnapped the young lady from the uncle's residence.
He should have been wearing It is Crown Prince Cui’s clothes, and his body shape is very similar to Crown Prince Cui, so some people mistakenly think it is Crown Prince Cui.
As for Crown Prince Cui, he has been fascinated by your design since early on.
Wow, after the murderer kidnapped the young lady from the uncle's house, you took him to this wing, and you went back to your own yard, changed your shoes, and went to the third young master's yard.
Your yard can be seen from the young master's house, so you can see the signal sent by the murderer.
After the incident is completed, you return to your yard and hide the murderer. " "You're talking nonsense."
The woman knelt on the ground and said with tears streaming down her face, "I have no enmity with my eldest cousin, why would I do this?"
"This is your shrewdness."
Mu Ziyan continued, "Even if this matter is exposed, no one will think that it was Miss Li.
But it is a pity that Miss Li still made a wrong calculation and should not have The hair stained with the fragrance of wintersweet remained on the deceased's body, and the shoe prints, don't they explain everything?
If I remember correctly, the deceased must have seen you when he was kidnapped, so there must be traces of it on you.
Got scratches."
"No, don't accuse me wrongly."
The woman shook her head quickly, turned around and knelt in front of Mrs.
Cui Er, "Aunt, she wronged me."
When Mrs.
Cui saw this, she sighed quietly, then turned around and ignored her.
Mu Ziyan stepped forward and lifted her sleeves, and saw obvious scratches on her arms.
Mrs.
Cui Hou looked at her and said, "Why can't Cui Hou Mansion forgive you?
You actually did such an unscrupulous thing."
"No, it's not me."
The woman denied it.
Mu Ziyan raised her eyes and looked into the distance, "Since Miss Li doesn't admit it, I will let Miss Li see clearly what this is."
She said and took out a sachet, "I think this belongs to Crown Prince Cui."
"No, give it back to me."
Miss Li, who had been complaining just now, suddenly stood up and rushed towards Mu Ziyan.
Mu Ziyan's body flashed, and she jumped into the air, her eyes showing fear.
Then she rushed over again, but was subdued by the yamen servant.

"Miss Li has been taken advantage of by others, and she doesn't know it yet."
Mu Ziyan sneered, "Tell me, who is the murderer?"
"I" She raised her eyes to look at Mu Ziyan, her eyes narrowed slightly, knowing that the situation was over, and then she lowered her eyes and said nothing.
"Miss Li, I thought you had a crush on Crown Prince Cui, but you didn't expect that he would marry Miss Lan Er.
You knew Miss Lan Er's reputation, so you felt that Miss Lan was not worthy of Crown Prince Cui. , and the murderer just happened to find you, and he came up with an idea to prevent Cui Shizi and Miss Lan Er from getting married, so you agreed," Mu Ziyan looked at her and said.
"No" Miss Li burst into tears and was about to break free and leave.
Mu Ziyan sighed, "You are just being used by him.
You have to know that even so, Prince Cui will definitely get married tomorrow.
What you are doing is just making Cuihou Mansion a joke in the capital. , I’m afraid it will be difficult for Crown Prince Cui to hold his head high in front of other aristocratic families in the future.”
"No, that's not what he said."
Miss Li went crazy at the moment, shaking her head desperately, and then looked at her, "He lied to me, he lied to me."
"Miss Li, who is that person?"
Mu Ziyan asked coldly.
"He, he is."
Miss Li looked at Mu Ziyan and was about to say her name, but suddenly there was a noise from the dark, and two darts were seen flying towards her.
"Be careful."
Zhang Zong and Lady Lu quickly stepped forward and pulled Mu Ziyan over, grabbing one of the darts, but the other dart hit Miss Li right between the eyebrows.
"Dead."
Zhang Zong looked at Mu Ziyan and said.
"Yes."
Mu Ziyan whispered, "The clue is gone."
"How could this be so?"
Mrs.
Cui Er raised her eyes to look at Mrs.
Cui Hou and whispered, "Sister-in-law, it was the younger brother and sister who lured the wolf into the house, and this is how the eldest young master was harmed."
"Humph."
Mrs.
Cui Hou snorted coldly, glared at Miss Li who had been killed, and turned to leave.
Zhang Zong looked at Mu Ziyan, "Now that the murderer has been found, this matter is finally settled."
"What about the real murderer?"
Lord Cui looked at Zhang Zong and asked, "Did our Cui family treat it as a joke in vain?"
"Master Cui Hou, now that the clues have been cut off, we will definitely not be able to find the real culprit for a while.
I think Cui Houye also knows who did this."
Mu Ziyan said calmly, feeling slightly blessed, and then He and Madam Lu walked away.
Zhang Zong cupped his hands and said, "Master Marquis, I will take my leave."
Lord Cui lowered his eyes, turned around and left.
When Mu Ziyan left Cuihou Mansion, Madam Lu looked at her and said, "Yan'er, who is the mastermind behind this?"
