Chapter 077 – Cui’s Death (Second Shift) (1 / 2)

“Uncle Lu, what are you still standing there for,” Mu Zi Yan turned her eyes to coldly look at Lu Zhong.

Lu Zhong bowed and responded, “The old slave will go now.”

After saying that, he turned around and left at a brisk pace, Cui had the intention to stop, but Lu Zhong had already run away.

Mu Zi Yan also looked sadly at Cui Clan, “Third aunt, you can rest assured, if this matter is handed over to Beijing Zhaoyin, it will surely be found out.”

Cui lowered her eyes and pinched her handkerchief to cover her face as she responded, “Rather, this will also allow Sister Lin to rest in peace.”

“Yeah.” Mu Zi Yan chimed in, her eyes slipping past a touch of cunning.

Sister Cui looked on from the sidelines, the corners of her mouth uncontrollably revealing an imperceptible smirk, and then she hung her head and stood by the sidelines again.

Biyun heart early happy flowers, look at the third lady that face colorful, want to drag Missy down, that also depends on whether you have that ability.

Yunxiang immobile stand aside, it is clear that the third lady is to divert the attention of the young lady, so as not to focus on other things, but also to prevent the young lady from having the heart to find out where the third lady has gone, but also to implicate the third master.

Just this kind of insidious method, according to the third lady’s brain since is not come up with, then who is behind the instruction it is a pity ah, the third lady reaction is not as good as the big miss, this really is a stolen chicken can’t etch the rice.

Cui secretly screamed bitter, she sacrificed a half-dead Lin Sister, want to Mu Zi Yan to stall, but now it’s good, people did not stall, but also dragged themselves into the water, she has heard that the Beijing Zhaoyin’s powerful, if he really found out the cause of death of Lin Sister, then she is not to give herself into the

She is like an ant on a hot pan at the moment, anxious, but unfortunately, now there is not even a person to discuss a solution, she is really anxious crazy.

Mu Zi Yan will Cui’s look a clear, know that she is now the most anxious and uneasy, do also pretend to be unaware of the general, and then a line of people will be so waiting, this point with Cui’s time to consume or have.

Seeing that an incense stick had already been burned, Sister Cui raised her eyes to look at Mu Ziyan, “Eldest Miss, you’d better sit down for a while.”

Mu Zi Yan shook her head and said, “Ai, how can we live with it now, look, Sister Lin’s eyes are still open, and I don’t know which one of them has a blackened heart, and even laid such a cruel hand on Sister Lin.”

Cui heard, only feel the back of the cold, the whole person also obviously stiffened a lot, she raised her eyes to look at Mu Zi Yan, for some reason, only feel in front of the eyes of this girl, the surface seems innocent, but it is like a refined fox, how can not touch it at all!

Cui’s is also a conceited, but, this period of time successive setbacks, so also messed up the mind, some time to do things inevitably some bound feet, more importantly, now is the juncture, can not be half a point of error, or else, the three houses are afraid of completely finished, not only the three houses, and even the second house will be followed by uprooting.

Cui’s face was saddened, but her eyes were constantly turning, thinking of emergency methods.

Inside the Long Pine Courtyard, Sister From had since reported the situation of the third house to the old madam.

The old madam sighed quietly, “Cui is no match for that girl.”

“Then why does the Old Lady still let the Third Mistress do so,” said the puzzled from Sister.

“It’s just a matter of dragging it out for a while, I’d like to see what that girl is hiding from me” The old madam’s eyes narrowed slightly, she was using Cui to test Mu Zi Yan’s skill.

Mu Zi Yan stood in the courtyard, more or less guessed the twists and turns of this, Cui wanted to use the death of Sister Lin to stall her, the old lady is trying to use Cui’s hand to test her, so, this day there is still some time, will accompany them to play.

Her ability is limited, the hands of the people but also just er, but can not borrow the state government’s momentum, if the dark hand is the dark hand to find some traces of words, then, not only the Marquis of Mu, I am afraid that even the state government will follow the bad luck.

More importantly, after these days of events, Mu Zi Yan think, the previous life of the big house suffered, here is afraid to harbor a huge conspiracy, she could not think carefully in the previous life, was driven to the family temple, and then came out, and was led by the nose by Leng Hanfeng, and therefore did not go to investigate the cause of the death of the father, the brother behind the death of the father and brother, and this life, she must check out the stones, the old lady behind the people in the end is who!

Mu Zi Yan convergence of the eyes low that is like a swirling black fog, Yunxiang at this time quietly retreated out.

So after half an hour, Lu Zhong hurried back, followed by a thirty-year-old man in front of him, walking with windy steps, steady and majestic, no extra expression on his face, a look is a cold-faced judge.

Mu Zi Yan since I know him, this person is absolutely one-dimensional, dead-eyed, obsessed with the deep truth, in his hands can escape the murderer, so far no one.

Mu Zi Yan respectfully greeted the front, toward the front just stopped Zhang Daoren Zhang Zong see in front of the eyes of not yet reached maturity, but the ten-year-old Mu Zi Yan, also slightly nodded, whispered, “Miss Mu, now can start?”

“Since.” Mu Zi Yan saw him single-handedly enter, and also answered in a low voice, and then with a sideways glance, she personally led Zhang Zong into the courtyard.

Cui stood aside and bowed her head without saying anything, Zhang Zong looked straight ahead, but his afterglow caught the entire courtyard’s colorful changes, and when that pair of deep, dark eyes landed on Cui’s body, they sank slightly, and then lifted his steps to walk directly to Sister Lin’s corpse.

Mu Zi Yan said in a low voice, “really is the death of Sister Lin strange, although she is a slave, but also is the third aunt’s milk grandmother, since the pro-thick, such a tragic death, the third aunt is sad, and the appearance of Sister Lin, look is not rest in peace, which invited Zhang Daimao to come.”

Mu Zi Yan’s words, will be the things expounded once again, Zhang Zong see her articulate, well-organized, but did not have half a point of fear and panic, face with sadness, but also does not lose the style of the young lady should be.

Zhang Zong secretly thought, thinking that at a young age there is such a spirit, if given time, I am afraid that it is even more remarkable.

Zhang Zong did not respond, but carefully examined the corpse of Sister Lin, at this time, suddenly broke into a pretty face wearing a peach red dress of the woman, between the eyes and eyebrows through an overbearing air, to see Mu Zi Yan, towards her slight nod, considered to be a salute, and then stood in the side of Zhang Zong, “I’ll do it.”

“Also good.” Zhang Zong raised his eyes to look at her, then he got up to look at Mu Zi Yan.

Mu Zi Yan looked at the woman and raised her eyes to look at Zhang Zong again, “This girl must be Lady Lu.”

“Eldest Miss Mu is quite knowledgeable.” Zhang Zong looked at Mu Zi Yan, thinking that a young lady who had not yet left the court was aware of the affairs of this neighborhood, which made him quite surprised as well.

Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly and said, “It’s the unstable nature of the heart, so I often listen to the maids say some interesting things outside, and this is how I know that there is a confidante beside Mr. Zhang who has an orchid heart.”

That Lu Niangzi listened to Mu Ziyan’s words, but did not react too much, still concentrating on examining the corpse.

Zhang Zong color but obviously with a few points of narrow-minded, must be Lang intention ah, a case expert, a fine with the autopsy of the woman, the two really complement each other, Lang talented woman ah.

Mu Zi Yan likes the straightforwardness of these two people, but also admires the noble character of these two people, able to insist on their own in this world, when it is really rare and precious.

In his previous life, Zhang Zong and Lv Niangzi ultimately did not come together, as for what reason, but not enough outsiders, only to remember that later Lv Niangzi left alone, never appeared again, and Zhang Zong is alone for a lifetime.

Mu Zi Yan thinking about the many tragedies in his previous life, and this life, able to all change it

She couldn’t help but snicker a little, she hadn’t even reversed the tragedy in front of her yet, so why should she care about the love affairs of the others

She did not save the world, is just an ordinary people in the world of floating, want nothing more than to be comfortable and simple, but it seems that the heavens are too favorable to her, so that their own life is so uprooted.

When she was secretly slandering, Niangzi Lu has risen, and then looked at Zhang Zong, “Initial judgment, the deceased time of death is between noon and shenzhen, the body is not yet all stiff, there is still a little body temperature, there are some body spots, before the body has suffered a very serious injury, and the life is not long to go, the cause of death is poisoned, was forced to pour down, there is at first a little bit of struggle, and then but then no resistance. No resistance, tears in the corner of her eyes, the corners of her mouth rose, the person who killed her should be someone who was familiar with her, and the relationship is very shallow, able to make her give up her life.”

Mu Zi Yan looked at Lu Niangzi, this a preliminary analysis, roughly will be able to rule out some suspicion, the focus is on the latter, she rushed to Lu Niangzi slightly nodded, inadvertently drifted through Cui’s face, the corner of the mouth hooked up a faint smile.

Zhang Zong turned around and looked at the magistrate who had finished his questioning, and then looked at Mu Zi Yan, “Miss Mu, can this place be blocked off”

“This is my third aunt’s courtyard, so you should ask her.” Mu Zi Yan raised her eyebrows and directed her words towards Cui.

Cui shuddered, raised her eyes to Zhang Zong, suppressed the panic in her heart, and said in a low voice, “Since I want it.”

Zhang Zong then ordered the men to seal off this courtyard completely, and then Niangzi Lu entered the house, and under Cui’s guidance, sought out the first scene of Sister Lin’s murder.

So after another half an hour, the sky is gradually dark, the setting sun’s afterglow sprinkled in the courtyard, but a few more points of bleak and bizarre.

Mu Zi Yan looked at Zhang Zong and asked in a low voice, “I wonder if Senior Zhang wants to go back to the government office or break the case in the residence”

“Eldest Miss Mu is polite, this official is going back to the Yamen since.” Mr. Zhang was a bit uncomfortable with Mu Zi Yan’s polite and considerate manners, no matter whether it was a dignitary or a nobleman in the palace, they were not the least bit kind when they saw him, and when they were facing him, they were only superficially flattering, or just being courteous.

And Mu Zi Yan’s young age, the tone of voice with a sincere inquiry, but let Zhang Zong to Mu Zi Yan this little girl a few more points of reverence.

Mu Zi Yan nodded slightly, “Forgive me, then I won’t keep Elder Zhang for dinner.”

“Miss Mu is polite.” Zhang Zong hurriedly arched his hand in return, his attitude too different from the one he had when he had entered just now.

Mu Zi Yan nodded her head with a smile, and Niangzi Lu stood beside Zhang Zong, looking at Mu Zi Yan in front of her, she also showed a rare smile at her.

Mu Zi Yan knows that Lu Niangzi is a rare strange woman, this world, the status of women is not as good as men, not to mention the era of men’s rights, a woman is able to risk universal condemnation and be a pallbearer, it is indeed rare and courageous, can be imagined that this Lu Niangzi is a free-spirited person.

She likes such pure people, especially frank, but does not lose the temperament of the people, so now the two meet, but some of the heart of the feeling.

In her previous life, Mu Zi Yan was happy and happy before the age of ten, after the age of ten until her death, are for others to live, therefore, every thing is done to calculate, and what is done is for Leng Hanfeng can step by step to climb to that high position, unfortunately, ah, to the end, she realized that she is just a pawn in the hands of the Leng Hanfeng, the use of the end of the can be discarded, her previous life is how ridiculous!

In this life, Mu Zi Yan will no longer live for anyone but her closest relatives, she is who she is, a nirvana reborn Mu Zi Yan.

After sending Zhang Zong and Niangzi Lu away, Cui could not stay in her own courtyard and raised her eyes to look at Mu Zi Yan, “Missy, can I go and sit in your courtyard, I can’t go to Jing’er’s courtyard since I can’t go there, and seeing Missy, I can feel a little more at ease.”

Mu Zi Yan saw that she was determined to follow her, but she opened her mouth with difficulty, “I’m afraid this won’t be possible, just now the State Duke’s old lady sent a letter to let me go to the State Duke’s residence.”

Cui this time froze, heart alarm bells ringing, this time to go to the State House to do what is not the State House that have noticed the

She looked at Mu Zi Yan, “I think that the last birthday banquet, I was not able to go to the State Duke’s residence to congratulate the State Duke’s old lady because of my discomfort, so how about going along with the eldest young lady now”

Mu Zi Yan laughed coldly in her heart and showed a difficult expression, “I’m afraid this won’t work, Third Aunt, Sister Lin has just gone, I’m afraid it’s not right for you to go with me at this moment”

Cui also knows that she is indeed a bit ill-considered, but how can she be assured that Mu Ziyan will leave?

“This is also hard for me to stay here, why don’t I go along with the eldest young lady, it’s good to take a break.” Cui looked at Mu Zi Yan and said expectantly.

Sister Cui listened to the side of that screamed a annoyed, this three Mrs. really is not face, this kind of words can also say out.

Mu Zi Yan but whispered, “This way, the old lady is the most compassionate and kind-hearted, all day long to eat fasting Buddha, must be blessed by the Buddha, if you want to ask for peace of mind, you can go to the old lady’s place, it is possible to recite the scriptures to Buddha, superdegree of the dead souls.”

This sounds like pure nonsense, just a few words are in praise of the old lady, but carefully pondered, this is a mockery of Cui’s heart has a ghost, rather than doing unnecessary entanglement with her here, it is better to go to the old lady’s place to recite the scriptures, so that Sister Lin can go to the peace of mind.

Cui’s this time anxious as burning, where can hear Mu Zi Yan that words in the head of the mockery implied, knowing that this is not to follow, then can only secretly send people to follow, raised his eyes sadly sighed, “It seems that can only be so.”

Mu Zi Yan saw Cui’s not pestering, also whispered, “Third Auntie is not too sad, Sister Cui, you can send Third Auntie to the old madam’s place.”

“Yes.” Sister Cui answered in a low voice, raising her eyes to look at Cui, “Third Mistress, don’t be too upset, take care of your body.”

It was all Cui could do, just wiping her tears as she slowly made her way to the Long Pine Courtyard.

When Bi Yun saw Cui leave, the corner of her mouth twitched, “Eldest Miss, this Third Lady is also too good at pretending.”

Mu Zi Yan merely smiled faintly, “If she likes it, just let her go.”

“Eldest Miss, do you really want to go to the State Duke’s Mansion,” Bi Yun inquired in a low voice from the side.

“Go.” Mu Zi Yan turned to look at Yun Xiang who had already returned, “But it was passed over.”

“Don’t worry, Eldest Miss, the slave girl has already done it, and Table Young Master has already gotten the message.” Yunxiang answered in a low voice.

“Then let’s go.” Mu Zi Yan didn’t make any delays, but instead led Yun Xiang and Bi Yun out of the Marquis Mu Mansion and boarded a carriage to the State Duke’s Mansion.

Ling’er is now reporting in detail what happened in the third house to Zhong Hui, who, after hearing it, coldly rebuked, “This Cui, is one that is not enough to make things happen.”

“That matter of the incense bag, the Third Mistress then did it improperly, and ended up letting the eldest young lady catch the handle.” Ling’er also felt that this Third Mistress was superficially a shrewd Quinn, but was actually a stupid one.

Zhong Hui said in a low voice, “Now say these are also useless, since Cui did, Zhang Zong is a straight man, once found traces, that is bound to be able to pull out the truth, Cui’s this place is also useless.”

“What does Young Grandmother mean,” Ling’er looked to Zhong Hui and carefully inquired.

“In addition to the death of this road, she has other roads,” Zhong Hui hooked his lips and sneered, “Zhang Houfu that place is afraid to have gotten the letter, you and see, Cui will not live through tonight.”

“Young granny, that Missy’s place” Ling’er also thinks that it’s good that Cui’s death is over, otherwise, they will also be exposed, thinking that Cui’s is a timid and fearful person, and may end up leaking out something in order to protect herself.

“This sister-in-law of mine, is not a simple one.” Zhong Hui had already collected her mind now, more than moving that little bit of love towards Mu Lingxuan outside, she knew that her life was more important.

She is just a fish on the chopping block, in the end may only end up with a miserable end, but people are so cheap, even if they know it’s a death, but they also want to live a few more days, struggling, I do not know what exactly for!

Zhong Hui regained her old look, and then said, “Continue to send people to keep an eye on her, and tell my good sister about her movements, she should have a method.”

“Yes.” Ling’er answered and turned around, then exited the house.

Zhong Hui raised her wrist and caressed the white jade bracelet, “Husband, don’t blame me for being hard-hearted, if you really go, wait for me under the Yellow Springs Road, I will come to accompany you.”

Mu Zi Yan rode the carriage to the State Duke’s Mansion, Cui entered the Chang Song courtyard, only felt a pain in the heart, thought that he was too nervous, so he did not care.

When the old madam saw her coming, but she was not annoyed, she only spoke faintly, “Go to the Buddha Hall to recite sutras.”

“Yes.” Knowing that there is nothing safer than the old madam’s place nowadays, Cui also lowered her guard and turned around to go to the Buddha Hall along with Sister From.

When Mu Zi Yan arrived at the State Duke’s Mansion, she saw Qi Xuan standing outside the mansion, waiting for the carriage to stop, he slowly stepped forward, waiting for her to get out of the carriage, with a gentle smile, “Cousin can use the dinner.”

“Troublesome cousin to worry about this kind of thing, but has not been used, just just in the carriage ate two pieces of pastry, now not hungry.” Bi Yun carefully went up to assist her, waiting for her to stand still, only then quietly retreated behind her.

Qi Xuan looked at her with a smile, “It’s windy at night, it’s better to go into the mansion.”

“Good.” Mu Zi Yan answered with a light smile, and then entered the State Duke’s Mansion with Qi Xuan and the two of them.

The State Duke’s old madam got the letter and waited for her early in the morning, seeing her come, she looked at her lovingly, “This girl of yours came diligently, I was still reading about you early this morning.”

Mu Zi Yan smiled brightly towards Elder Duchess of State and hurriedly bowed, “Yan’er greets grandmother.”

“Get up quickly.” Old Lady Guo Gong loved Mu Zi Yan the most, this girl looked exactly like Qi when she was a child, smart and lovable.

Mu Zi Yan took a few steps and marched to the Duke of State’s Elder Lady’s heel, then softly leaned into the Duke of State’s Elder Lady’s embrace, “Grandmother, Smokey is here to rub her nose in the blessings.”

“You this girl, this mouth ah as if smeared with honey, I heard that your mother yesterday and suffered” Duke of the country old lady looked at Mu Zi Yan with downcast eyes, eyes low crossed a touch of coldness.

Mu Zi Yan whispered, “Fortunately, Master is here, otherwise, ai”

Elder Duchess of State whispered, “You’re a ghostly girl, you’ve been busy these past few days, don’t get exhausted, I’m going to be heartbroken.”

Mu Zi Yan saw the State Duke old lady said so, most likely is aware of her in the Marquis House as, and her words, undoubtedly is to give her a pill of peace of mind, which is to tell her, you boldly rest assured to do, the State Duke House will certainly be your strong backing.
