    “What’s this,” Muziran was getting more and more flustered, but trying to keep her composure.

    Zhang Zong snorted coldly and said in a low voice, “This is the evidence that Green Bud left behind before she died.”

    Mu Zi Lan’s face showed surprise, “My daughter does not know.”

    Zhang Zong also stopped asking her, but said directly, “Passing on the certificate.”

    “Yes.” The magistrate answered, and in a short while, he saw a maid walk in with her head bowed.

    Then she knelt down, “Slave servant Caiyu greets the Grand Master.”

    “Do you recognize this object,” Zhang Zong said in a cold voice.

    That Caiyu and Caiyun are both Zhang’s courtyard head of the second-class maids, the two of them have been deeply friendship, so, raised his hand to receive the earrings, said in a low voice, “Back to the Grand Master, this is Caiyun’s personal belongings.”

    “In this public hall, if what you say is not true, do you know the consequences,” Zhang Zong majestically cold voice said.

    “The slave girl does not dare to have half a word of falsehood, the great master please see, this ear pendant has a total of two pairs, it is the second madam together rewarded the slave girl and Caiyun, so the slave girl also has a pair of this place, the great master please see.” Caiyu hurriedly said, then unclasped the earrings and handed them up with both hands.

    “You and kneel aside.” Zhang Zong said in a low voice after looking at him.

    “Yes.” Caiyu hung her head and stood to the side.

    “Green buds that place how will appear color cloud earrings” Zhang Zong turned his eyes to the side of the kneeling girl, “by the coroner’s autopsy, according to the footprints of the initial judgment of the murderer’s size and age, are women, this is this official in the crime scene topped off the footprints, as long as the two of you a comparison, you will know the true or false. “

    When that girl heard this, she hastily shrunk her feet and lowered her eyes, not daring to make a sound, but she was also trembling with fear.

    The woman, however, appeared to be a bit calmer and seemed to be resisting death.

    Zhang Zong took those two footprints over, and then the other two, “These two footprints, one can be compared to Green Bud, and the other, since it’s going to be compared to the Fourth Miss.”

    Upon hearing this, Mu Zi Lan raised her eyes to Zhang Zong, “Grand Master, if the case is decided in this manner, my daughter feels that it is unfair.”

    “Injustice,” Zhang Zong snorted coldly, “Fourth Miss, this is but one of them.”

    Mu Zi Lan heard, eyebrows slightly knit, but also did not dare to struggle, to be that footprints of with her, that woman, a side of the maid, and green buds after making a comparison, it is clear that the footprints are exactly the same.

    Mu Zi Yan listened in the back and whispered, “Elder Zhang is forcing Fourth Sister’s hand.”

    “En.” Nymphet Lu answered softly.

    Zhang Zong then put the footprints down, and then said, “This is what this official found in your yard.”

    Mu Zi Lan raised her eyes and her eyes sank slightly, and she instantly collapsed to the ground.

    If what came before was not enough as evidence, then what Zhang Zong had in his hands at the moment was fatal, she bowed her head and kept quiet, as if she was thinking of excusing herself by saying that she was wrong.

    Zhang Zong continued, “This is the clothing you wore when you killed Aunt Li, but it was stained with blood, you ordered this clothing to be burned, but you were worried that once the fire started, it would cause suspicion from bystanders, so you simply buried this clothing.”

    Mu Zi Lan’s eyes slightly converged, so she no longer tried to argue, she raised her eyes to look at Elder Zhang, “Grand Master, Aunt Li was killed by my daughter, and Cai Yun was also killed by my daughter.”

    Once these words came out, the people who were watching outside the hall immediately started to talk, but also pointed at Mu Zi Lan inside, not realizing that at her young age, she could actually do such inhumane things.

    Mu Zi Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly, “Why did she admit it so simply”

    “Now that the evidence has been conclusively established, how else can she argue” Niangzi Lu turned her eyes to Mu Zi Yan and said in a low voice.

    “Not right.” Mu Zi Yan shook her head, “This matter is not right.”

    “What’s wrong with that,” Nyx Lui spoke in disbelief.

    “Look at her eyes.” Mu Zi Yan stared straight into those eyes of Mu Zi Lan, from the forced composure just now, to the calmness at this moment, this is obviously ready to die, then, what was the purpose of her previous struggles

    “It is a bit strange.” Lady Lu looked carefully before looking at Mu Zi Yan, “Could it be that she is not the real murderer”

    “No, Aunt Li was killed by her, but Caiyun definitely wasn’t.” Mu Zi Yan faintly opened her lips.

    “Then why did she admit it all together,” Nyonya Lu was even more puzzled.

    “It seems that there is someone behind her.” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes flashed with a cold light before she looked at Niang Zi Lu, “It seems that Cai Yun’s matter is not Zhang’s doing, and between Mu Zi Lan and Zhang, there should be another person.”

    “Hey, I’m really confused.” Niangzi Lu felt why things were so complicated, there were so many twists and turns to killing a person.

    Mu Zi Yan didn’t want to see things as so complicated, however, looking at the situation now, Mu Zi Lan was nothing more than a pawn.

    She’s acting like this now, naturally she’s ready to die, so does she have a fallback or is this a way to end her fallback and protect the one behind her

    Zhang Zong saw that Mu Zi Lan was just now still sophomoric, but suddenly admitted so readily, his eyes condensed, and then said in a low voice, “The witnesses and material evidence are all there, the offender has confessed, according to the Amazing Law, the offender Mu Zi Lan is sentenced to be beheaded three days later.”

    “Accessory to the crime shall be punished with thirty strokes of the cane, and shall be executed after the fall.” After Zhang Zong said that, he ordered Mu Zi Lan and that girl to draw a pledge with the granny, and then retired from the hall.

    When he returned behind the screen, he saw Mu Zi Yan, “She did not tell the truth.”

    “En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded, “Let’s leave this matter at that.”

    Zhang Zong thought for a moment, seeing Mu Zi Yan say so, he thought that the things involved behind the scenes were afraid that he would not be able to figure them out for a while.

    “Since this is the case, and she has already ambushed the law and confessed to her crime, I will fulfill it myself.” Zhang Zong also responded, if it were in the past, he would have definitely investigated to the end, however, nowadays, he knew that even if he investigated, it would be to no avail.

    Mu Zi Yan said a few words to Zhang Zong and then returned to the Marquis Mu Mansion.

    Yunxiang looked at her, “Eldest Miss, last night, the Crown Prince and the Third Prince were recalled by decree of the Emperor shortly after they left the capital.”

    Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly, “It seems that someone’s plan has once again fallen through, and now he is afraid that he is going to go on a rampage.”

    As expected, Zhong Xuan did not expect the emperor to move so quickly, she was so angry that she flopped down on the bed couch and waved the medicine bowl out, “Darn it, really really darn it”

    “Master, I’m afraid it won’t be easy to cause another fight between the Crown Prince and the Third Prince.” The maidservant at the side whispered.

    “Hmph.” Zhong Xuan snorted coldly, “Then we have to give them some color as well.”

    After Mu Zi Yan returned to the Mu Marquis’ residence, the old madam learned that Mu Zi Lan was going to be executed, but only slightly moved her eyes for a moment, and then appeared indifferent.

    Mu Ling Rui because of the Ming An County Lord early this morning to come to seek trouble Mu Zi Yan, trouble did not find, but was Mu Zi Yan to teach a lesson, angry back to the Liang Wang House, and he just sat in the study, said a deep voice, “waste” will no longer pay attention to this matter.

    From this, it can be seen that this Mu Ling Rui is really more blue than blue compared to Mu Qing Ran, the same coolness, but even more vicious than Mu Qing Ran.

    After Mu Lingxuan landed his shift, he went back to the Mu Hou Mansion and went straight to the Smokefall Courtyard.

    When Mu Zi Yan saw him return, she smiled and opened her mouth, “Brother, this day, above the court, it’s finally out of the way.”

    “It’s still younger sister who is smart.” Mu Lingxuan looked at Mu Zi Yan with a smile.

    Mu Zi Yan then sat down and personally made tea and handed it to him, “Brother, this matter has only just begun, Zhong Xuan has lost one after another, she won’t be able to let it go, before, she just thought I was a small character, so she didn’t care much, but now I’m afraid she’ll do something crazier.”

    Mu Lingxuan’s eyes were slightly cold, he lowered his head and lightly sipped a mouthful of tea before putting it down, “If that’s the case, what should my sister do”

    “If a person commits a crime against me, I will definitely commit a crime.” Mu Zi Yan said in a deep voice, “Brother, leave Zhong Xuan’s matter to me.”

    “You seem to be extremely dissatisfied with her” Mu Lingxuan could see that Mu Zi Yan was emitting a cold and chilling aura whenever she mentioned Leng Hanfeng and Zhong Xuan.

    Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly and said, “It’s just looking bad.”

    When Mu Lingxuan saw that she didn’t say anything, he didn’t ask, which person doesn’t have a secret, so why bother to ask for an understanding?

    “By the way, father brought birthday gifts from Funan.” Mu Lingxuan said with a smile.

    “The ones father brought are naturally my favorites.” Mu Zi Yan said with a smile, “Brother, what about yours”

    “You will know by then.” Mu Lingxuan said in a mysterious manner.

    “Rather, I’m looking forward to it.” Mu Zi Yan had an expectant look on her face.

    Mu Lingxuan watched Mu Zi Yan finally show her old smile, and then also followed with a gentle smile, for him, so with his family and happy together, is his greatest satisfaction.

    Mu Lingxuan and Mu Zi Yan joked and laughed for a while, and then left on their own.

    Mu Zi Yan counted the time, thinking since the Divine Doctor door back, have not gone to pay respects to the master, just now to smooth out some troubles, it should also be a trip to the State Duke House.

    Yunxiang walked over, “Eldest Miss, tomorrow the Second Master will return to the house.”

    “En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded and answered.

    “Eldest Miss, the Second Mistress has asked you to come over.” Bi Yun also walked up at this moment.

    Mu Zi Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly, “What is the reason for Second Aunt to call me forward at this time?”

    “Eldest Miss, but you’re going,” Bi Yun asked carefully.

    “Go.” Mu Zi Yan spoke faintly.

    He then went to Zhang’s courtyard, where Sister Lu was waiting early in the morning, welcoming Mu Zi Yan inside and then retreating.

    Now that only Zhang and Mu Zi Yan are left in the inner room, she raises her eyes to look at Mu Zi Yan, “There is no need for you to be polite, sit.”

    Mu Zi Yan then sat down and looked at Zhang with a pale expression, seeing that she looked as normal as ever, it seemed that she had already returned to normal.

    “What did Auntie Two call me here for,” Mu Zi Yan asked in a low voice.

    “Missy, would you like to make a deal with me” Zhang’s didn’t beat around the bush and spoke bluntly.

    “Second Auntie but there is no harm in saying so.” Mu Zi Yan was silent for a moment and answered in a low voice.

    “If I tell you one of the old madam’s secrets, will the eldest miss agree to divide the second house” Zhang looked at Mu Zi Yan and said with a smile.

    “Second aunt is not fighting” Mu Zi Yan said bluntly.

    “What to fight for” Zhang’s cold smile, “even if you fight for it is just flashy, this matter, in addition to the old lady, I and Sister Lu, no one knows, as long as the eldest Miss promised to be able to let go of the second house, I will tell the truth.”

    “Let go of the second house” Mu Zi Yan can not forget, in the previous life of the second house is how the big house will be trampled on the bottom of the foot, is how she will be wantonly humiliated, let go of her not intend to let go.

    right now

    Zhang saw Mu Zi Yan condensingly looking straight at her, but she didn’t panic, she just spoke faintly, “I believe that this secret, Missy is definitely worth her weight in gold.”

    Mu Zi Yan weighed it for a moment, then said, “As long as the second house doesn’t take the initiative to mess with me, I will let the second house off the hook, and if the second house comes to die, then I will give the second house a ride.”

    Zhang listened to Mu Zi Yan words, know that she has loosened the mouth, she knows, now if not say, once Mu Zi Yan themselves know the truth, then, she is also no bargaining chips, can change a moment of peace is also good, she fought for so long, ultimately lost in their own hands, her heart is not willing, and now even more do not deal with the old lady of the person is only Mu Zi Yan, you can know that, sometimes, the enemy of the enemy is a friend.

    There are no eternal enemies in this world, there are only eternal interests.

    Zhang looked at Mu Zi Yan, then said, “As long as the second house is separated from the Mu Marquis, it will not pose a threat to the Mu Marquis, as for my pair of sons and daughters, if they are restless, I can’t control it anymore, let them toss and turn.”

    Mu Zi Yan was full of doubts when she saw Zhang saying so, she didn’t believe that Zhang was a person without ambition, and her pride didn’t allow her to compromise at this time and become like this.

    So what was it that made her change her mind? I’m afraid it was a fatal blow.

    Mu Zi Yan nodded slightly, “Second Auntie don’t worry, I, Mu Zi Yan, naturally won’t go back on what I said.”

    Zhang looked at this Mu Zi Yan in front of her and her own daughter’s age, her heart is just full of regrets, if her Ruoxi can have half of her intelligence, it is not so much ah, everything is fate ah.

    Zhang’s heart was full of sourness, but now she could only swallow it temporarily, she then said, “In fact, the second master is not the old madam’s own son.”

    “What” Mu Zi Yan felt that this news was too unbelievable, the second uncle was not the old lady’s biological son how could this be possible

    Chapter snorted, “I knew you wouldn’t believe it, but it’s true.”

    “How did Auntie Two learn about this” Mu Zi Yan asked in confusion.

    “How cunning is the old madam, since she is able to hide the truth from the world, she must have her skills, however, the net of heaven is not a net, there are no eternal secrets in this world.” Zhang looked at Mu Zi Yan, “Eldest Miss, this matter is true, I will not lie to you, as for how I learned about it, I can’t say, what does Eldest Miss think of such a deal”

    Mu Zi Yan continued to ask, “Then Third Uncle”

    “Miss see more than anyone else, and why ask many times” Zhang said, and then got up, “tomorrow your second uncle will return to the house, Miss would like to do a scene with me”

    Mu Zi Yan know, Zhang’s a person is impossible to move out, the only method is to use the power of others, then, now can use will make her.

    Mu Zi Yan felt that the second house now moved out is indeed to reduce unnecessary trouble, especially, she looked at Mu Zi Ruoxi is really bored, and Mu Ling Rui, she does not want to Mu Houfu to attract unnecessary trouble, she can concentrate on dealing with Leng Hanfeng and Zhong Xuan that pair of dogs and girls.

    “Second Auntie feel free to say it.” Mu Zi Yan smiled back.

    “Eldest Miss, tomorrow,” Zhang now smiled with satisfaction, and then stared at Mu Zi Yan for a long time after conferring with her, “This is the will of heaven.”

    Mu Zi Yan could hear the meaning of Zhang’s last words, God’s will

    If it was the will of God, she would not have ended up in such a miserable situation in her previous life, which was just the will of God that she had exchanged after a thousand years.

    She turned and left the Second Lady’s courtyard.

    In an instant, the news that Mu Zi Yan had gone to the second madam’s courtyard reached the old madam’s place.

    “Old madam, why did the eldest young lady suddenly go to the second madam’s courtyard, moreover, the two seemed to stay in one place for a long time.” From the side, Sister carefully reminded.

    The old lady’s eyes narrowed slightly, “She’s restless.”

    Seeing that the old madam seemed to have guessed something, “Could it be that the Second Mistress is still undeterred?”

    “She has never died,” said the old lady coldly, “but I shall see what she can toss out.”

    “The old lady doesn’t care,” from Sister’s eyes flashed a flash of surprise.

    “Now is not the time to mind her.” The old lady whispered, “Is everything done?”

    “Don’t worry old madam, it’s all been taken care of.” From Sister whispered, “It was definitely handled cleanly.”

    “En.” Only then did the old madam close her eyes and twirl her Buddha beads at ease.

    That night, Mu Zi Yan was lying down when she saw Yun Xiang walk in, “Eldest Miss, Fourth Miss committed suicide in prison.”

    “Suicide,” Mu Zi Yan snorted coldly, “I don’t think so.”

    “Eldest Miss, the fourth miss died from poisoning.” Yunxiang continued, “The poison suffered was exactly the same as the Third Lady’s.”

    “I think that when Mu Zi Lan was taken away by Elder Zhang, the old madam already had a killing intent, it seems that Mu Zi Lan knew some of the old madam’s secrets.” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly as she faintly opened her lips.

    “Eldest Miss, this matter,” Yunxiang felt that this Mu Hou House, as long as there is a day when the old madam is around, there will be no peace.

    “There is no harm, after this, the old madam won’t make a move again, and when the second house is thrown out tomorrow, the old madam will live in peace for some time.” Mu Zi Yan of course knows clearly that Zhang Clan is trying to use her to deal with the old madam.

    She had been cheated by the old madam for so long, how could she swallow this breath in her heart, although she had hatred for the big house, but compared to the old madam’s deception and Mu Qingran’s betrayal, Zhang was very clear about who she was dealing with at the moment.

    Mu Qingran came back this time and was afraid that he would fall into Zhang’s hands.

    The next morning, Mu Zi Yan had just gotten up when she heard a commotion outside.

    The corner of Mu Zi Yan’s mouth hooked, it was too late to wash up, and with her hair spread out and a plain white cloak on her body, she went out of the house.
