Chapter 185 – Zhong Xuan’s Provocation (Second Shift) (1 / 2)

“Yiyi sister, it’s not that I’m cruel, I can’t make a decision on this matter.” Mu Zi Yan sighed helplessly and turned to look at Zhang Zong, “Elder Zhang, I will leave first.”

“Good.” Zhang Zong bowed and said, “Respectfully send off the county princess.”

When Hou Yi Yi saw Mu Zi Yan leave like this, she followed along with her as her body shifted.

Zhang Zong’s eyes flashed with a cold light as he raised his eyes and glanced at the scene, “Carry the dead back.”

“Yes.” The yamen behind him answered, and after Zhang Zong left, they carried Rusu’s body away.

Hou Yi Yi followed Mu Zi Yan downstairs and blocked in front of her, looking at her angrily, “Are you seriously not helping”

“It’s me who can’t help.” Mu Zi Yan looked straight at her, “Yiyi sister, as you can see, the Waiting Prince himself admitted that he killed the man, so how can I help”

“Good, Mu Zi Yan, from now on, you and I are strangers.” Hou Yi Yi coldly snorted, and at that moment, she lifted her steps to leave.

Mu Zi Yan froze in place, her face shocked, and when Zhang Zong came, he looked at her with downcast eyes, “Sheriff, I’ll leave.”

Obviously, Zhang Zong’s actions had since alienated Mu Zi Yan quite a bit.

Yunxiang and Biyun followed behind, looking at the situation in front of them, eyes downcast, eyes low flashed through the incomprehension, how come this Hou Da Miss suddenly flipped out with the eldest Miss it

Mu Zi Yan sighed helplessly, so she got on the carriage and returned to the Mu Hou Mansion.

“Eldest Miss, the slave girl doesn’t understand.” Bi Yun stepped forward and looked at her, “How can Eldest Miss Hou misunderstand you like this”

“She’s just impatient.” Mu Zi Yan said faintly.

“But, this,” Bi Yun thought and felt that Missy was too aggrieved.

Mu Zi Yan whispered, “If I were to say that I had run into such a thing, I would have done the same.”

“Eldest Miss, what should be done about this matter” Yunxiang asked in a low voice as she handed over the tea.

“How” Mu Zi Yan raised her eyebrows lightly, “How can I, even if I can find out that Rusu was not killed by Hou Shi Zi, but Hou Shi Zi is bent on death, what can I do?”

“It’s just that nowadays the outside world is also spreading, and I don’t know who told the inside story, but now it’s only said that Missy saw death.” Yunxiang whispered.

Mu Zi Yan hooked her lips and smiled lightly, “But it’s just the talk of the people after dinner, don’t care.”

“Then the matter is to be left at that,” continued Rueyang.

“Things are already difficult, and based on the attitude of the Waiting Prince, I instead feel that he is not compelled by Rusu, and I think that he is trying to harbor another person.” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly and said in a deep voice.

“Harboring,” Yunxiang continued, “this day Hou Da Miss came to say is waiting for the son of the world is obsessed with that Rusu, is it not so.”

“Maybe.” Mu Zi Yan put down her tea, “Let’s wait first.”

“Yes.” Yunxiang understood the meaning of Mu Zi Yan’s words, so she did not say anything more.

The Hou family.

Hou Yi Yi came back angrily, her eyes overflowing with tears, raising her eyes to see Mrs. Hou, she stepped forward and fell into Mrs. Hou’s arms, “Mother, how could Sister Mu be so cruel, why can’t she save her brother?”

“You this girl this is how it is,” Mrs. Hou’s mood at the moment is very irritable, more worried, she can only have a son, if there is a long or short, how she should live!

“Brother is also a deadbeat, Sister Mu clearly said that he didn’t kill the person, but he flatly admitted that the person was killed by him.” Hou Yi Yi raised her eyes and looked at Mrs. Hou and said.

“What,” Mrs. Hou’s eyes narrowed, “is this again?”

“Mother, that Rusu charmed her brother to death, even if she dies, her brother will have to bury her with her.” Hou Yi Yi said indignantly.

“That’s more than enough.” Mrs. Hou immediately got up, “How did Sheriff Cheng’an say it?”

“The most irritating one is her.” Hou Yi Yi hastily twisted her body, “She even allowed her brother to be like this and stopped meddling in this matter.”

“Impossible.” Mrs. Hou looked at Hou Yi Yi, “She has always been a good friend to you, how could she see death and save you?”

“How do I know” Hou Yi Yi said and then fell into tears, “Mother, what should my brother do ah is it really want to give that woman to accompany the funeral not”

“Where is my father,” Mrs. Hou continued.

“Father was going to kill brother at that time, fortunately I blocked it, but father doesn’t care about brother anymore.” Hou Yi Yi was saddened, and when she had finished speaking, she raised her eyes to look at Mrs. Hou, “Mother, my brother is afraid that this time he will not be able to escape.”

“How can this be.” As soon as Mrs. Hou heard this she was instantly stimulated and fainted.

“Mother, don’t scare me.” Hou Yi Yi hurriedly supported the fainting Mrs. Hou, crying with tears in her voice.

When Su Qinrou arrived, she saw such a scene and said, “What the hell is going on?”

“Don’t you care, I’ve seen her true colors clearly now.” Hou Yi Yi said hatefully, then ordered people to carry Mrs. Hou back to the courtyard.

Su Qinrou stood in the hall and wanted to go forward, then she saw that Hou Yi Yi seemed to be involved even with her, so she turned around and went out of the Hou family and headed to the Mu Hou residence.

Without waiting to be informed, she rushed aggressively to Mu Ziyan’s courtyard, “Sister Mu, is it true what is rumored outside?”

“Sister Su, there is really nothing I can do about this matter.” Mu Zi Yan said in a rather difficult manner, clearly looking as if she was standing by with her arms folded.

“Sister Mu, I didn’t expect you to have such a face.” After Su Qinru said that, she turned around incredulously and left again.

Yunxiang and Bi Yun raised their eyes to look at her, the two wanted to say something, but in the end, they didn’t open their mouths.

The corner of Mu Zi Yan’s mouth slightly hooked, slowly got up and entered the inner room.

“Eldest Miss, the things you explained have already been ordered by the slave girl.” Yunxiang said in a low voice.

“Good.” Mu Zi Yan answered softly, “Stand down.”

“Yes.” Yun Xiang answered with her head hanging down and retreated.

Su Qinrou left the Marquis Mu Mansion, so she took the carriage and went to the Hou family again.

In the government office of Beijing Zhaoyin, Zhang Zong was looking at the female corpse in front of him with a worried frown, when he saw Niangzi Lu walking over.

“Why would this Hou Shi Zi admit to killing someone” Zhang Zong asked as he looked at Niangzi Lu in puzzlement.

“What did Smokey say there” Niangzi Lu looked at Zhang Zong and asked.

“Don’t mention it, because of this matter, Miss Hou and her quarreled, and are now at loggerheads.” Zhang Zong looked at Lady Lu, “I really don’t know what to do about this matter”

“Ah,” Lady Lu was silent for a moment, “Let’s wait and see, I think Smokey must have her plans if she’s doing this.”

“En.” Zhang Zong also sensed that something was wrong, only because they all knew very well that Hou Yi Yi’s nature, and Mu Zi Yan would definitely not really fall out, and only those who couldn’t understand from the outside would think so.

Zhang Zong also stopped saying anything, “Where is Qian’er”

“Sleeping.” Luna said with a smile.

“Oh.” Zhang Zong nodded slightly, “This kid.”

Lady Lu laughed lightly, “Don’t worry about it, it’s just that I’m wondering what’s involved behind this”

“Anyway, I have been traveling with the Third Prince for this period of time, and this heart has not been solid since I returned.” Zhang Zong knew that Jun Qianhao was too dangerous, had a deep heart, and was genuinely interested in Smokey.

Mu Zi Yan, regarding her saying so, said in a low voice, “Just relax and wait and see.”

“En.” Zhang Zong nodded his head, and the two of them went out of the autopsy room together.

This case happened two days, but no progress, Hou Elder since that day, the intention to give up waiting for the son, Hou Yi Yi also because of this matter on Mu Zi Yan hate a few points.

Su Qinrou made it difficult, but also do not know how to solve, straight to the crowd atmosphere for the wonderful.

Mu Zi Yan was waking up from a nap, Bi Yun had already entered with hot water and came forward to serve her to clean her hands and wash.

Rue Xiang hung her head and stepped forward, whispering, “Eldest Miss, there is movement.”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan looked at her with raised eyebrows, “They did it.”

“Yes.” Yunxiang whispered, “Secretly tampering within Waiting for the World’s son’s meal.”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan faintly responded, “Don’t frighten the snakes, let’s take the trick.”

“Yes.” Rue Xiang answered and went to make arrangements.

Early the next morning, Zhang Zong rushed to the prison, and after seeing the corpse of the Waiting Prince, his face turned cold, and Niangzi Lu came forward to examine the corpse and whispered, “Death by poisoning.”

“Poisoned,” Zhang Zong’s eyes sank, “how was he poisoned?”

“There is poison within the meal.” Lady Lu whispered.

“The rice,” Zhang Zong’s eyes flashed with a ghostly light, “looks like someone inside has moved.”

“En.” Lady Lu nodded her head in response.

“Question the people inside one by one.” Zhang Zong raised his eyes to look at the magistrates behind him and said in a cold voice.

“Yes, my lord.” The yamen behind him answered, and then went to interrogate them one by one.

Not long after, they saw Hou Yi Yi rushed over, and when she saw the body of Hou Shi Zi, she cried at once and directly pounced over, kneeling on the ground, “Brother, brother”

Zhang Zong looked at her, “Eldest Miss Hou, Shizi Hou died from poisoning.”

“Poisoned,” Hou Yi Yi raised her eyes to look at him and spoke incredulously, “How can it be poisoned?”

“This,” Zhang Zong whispered, “I will find out.”

“Brother,” Hou Yi Yi looked down, then got up, “If it wasn’t for Mu Zi Yan letting go of his hands, brother wouldn’t have died.”

“Eldest Miss Hou, this matter of investigating the case originally has nothing to do with the county princess, and there is nothing she can do about it.” Zhang Zong explained for Mu Zi Yan.

“Elder Zhang, I’ve been friends with her for ages, can’t I still resist these” Hou Yi Yi coldly snorted, “Just think of it as me being blind.”

Zhang Zong turned away when he saw Hou Yi Yi say that.

Mu Zi Yan since the news, then see Hou Yi Yi directly rushed in, pointing at her then cursed, “I did not expect that you are actually this kind of good-hearted people, if you think about my friendship with you, you certainly will not be ignored, and my brother would not have been assassinated.”

Mu Zi Yan said in a low voice, “Yi Yi Sister, Waiting for the World’s son is bent on seeking death, since such a thing happened, it’s also the will of God, Yi Yi Sister even if she blames it, she can’t blame it on my head.”

“Yes, you’re a county princess, and now that you have a status, I can’t climb high since.” Hou Yi Yi said indignantly and turned to leave.

Mu Zi Yan looked at her indignant departing back, sighed quietly, turned around and helplessly went back to the inner room.

Inside the Long Pine Courtyard, from Sister since the movement of this place reported to the old madam, “Old madam, you did not see, that Hou Da Miss will accuse the big miss in public, that scolding don’t mention how hard to hear.”

“Good scolding.” The old lady clapped her hands.

“Elder Lady, do you think this is true or not,” asked Sister From, not without doubt.

“I think it must be true, just say that this Hou Shizi has died, even if you do drama, Hou Da Miss can’t really flip with the smoke girl, now all can be this kind of finger scolding, since it is not false.” The old madam’s eyes narrowed slightly, said in a low voice.

“Yes, now that this matter is making a big fuss in the city, there are many people who are pointing their fingers at the eldest young miss, saying that she saw her death and saved her life.” From Sister said with a smile.

“The bigger the fuss the better.” The old madam coldly snorted, “She will reach maturity next month, so I’m afraid it will be even more lively.”

“Elder Mistress is extremely right.” From the Sister’s downcast eyes, she smiled and responded.

Qi’s since heard the rumors outside, since it is unable to hold back, came to find Mu Zi Yan, see her calm and relaxed, not half dead unhappy, Qi’s whispered, “Smoke, what’s going on?”

“Mother, this matter is a bit complicated, it will subside in a few days.” Mu Zi Yan didn’t want Qi to worry, so she said with hidden meaning

“That’s good.” Qi nodded slightly, and then she saw Mu Ling Jue tilting his head back and lunging towards Mu Zi Yan.

“Big sister, play with me.” Mu Ling Jue tugged on her sleeve, smiling brightly.

Mu Zi Yan looked at him with downcast eyes, “Good.”

Qi laughed lowly, “You don’t want to spoil him.”

“Mother, why don’t you go rest for a while, and leave Jue’er to my daughter.” Mu Zi Yan picked up Mu Ling Jue and said with a light smile.

“You, who swore in the beginning that you would teach him a good lesson after he was born” Qi said helplessly.

“Mother, this is not childish talk.” Mu Zi Yan quickly argued, and then waited for Qi to leave, hugging Mu Ling Jue and playing around.

Inside the Marquis Mansion, when Mrs. Marquis learned of the death of her husband’s son, she lay on her bed and wailed in grief and pain.

Hou Yi Yi accompanied Mrs. Hou since, and said indignantly, “Mother, when brother is gone, there is still a daughter.”

“Daughter, where is your brother’s body,” Mrs. Hou asked, looking at her.

“It’s still in the government office today, and it will take three days at the latest before it can be sent over.” Hou Yi Yi looked at her and said.

“Your brother has always been a good boy, how come he met this kind of thing, but if you can find out the real culprit earlier, he would not have lost his life.” Mrs. Hou said this is to blame up Mu Zi Yan, if not she let go and ignore, maybe her son will not die.

Hou Yi Yi listened to the more and more sad, looked at Mrs. Hou, forced to hold back tears, “Mother don’t worry, my daughter will definitely find out the murderer.”

“Your brother is gone, find out the real culprit so what” Mrs. Hou only wants her son at the moment, see Hou Yi Yi said so, is even more sad.

Hou Yi Yi is since the relief of Mrs. Hou a few words, then ordered people to wait well, which went out of the courtyard, to be traveling to the front hall, see the Hou old master sitting with a heavy face, she went forward to bless, “Father.”

“Treat your brother’s corpse back to the house in a couple days.” After Master Hou said that, he got up and left.

Hou Yi Yi stood within the hall, her eyes flashed with a ghostly light, so she left the mansion and went to the Jingzhao Yin’s government office.

Zhang Zong looked to Niangzi Lu, and the two of them stared at the corpse of Shizi Hou, waiting for Hou Yi Yi to come, and said in a low voice, “Miss Hou, Shizi Hou’s corpse can’t be retrieved until three days later”

“I know.” Hou Yi Yi replied in a low voice, “I just don’t know when Senior Zhang will solve the case”

“Now all the clues are broken, this case is very tricky and strange, the key is that Hou Shizi personally admitted to be the murderer, so there is no way to investigate, but please rest assured Miss Hou, I will find out the murderer.” Zhang Zong looked at Hou Yi Yi and said.

Hou Yi Yi nodded her head slightly and looked at the corpse of Hou Shi Zi, her eyes turning away with tears in her eyes.

Only that night, strangely enough, the body of the waiting son had disappeared, which made Zhang Zong annoyed, being able to take the body away from under his nose was a blatant provocation to the government office of the Beijing Zhaoyin.

Apparently this matter also alarmed the emperor, but also gave Zhang Zong to catch the real culprits of the deadline, if the deadline has not been found out the real culprits, will take Zhang Zong questioned.

Mu Zi Yan after learning this news, a faint smile, straight until Zhang Zong personally come, the two since the secret talk for a while, Zhang Zong left the Mu Hou House.

“Eldest Miss, there is already an end in sight.” Yunxiang handed over the secret letter with both hands and stood aside with her head hanging down.

“Good.” Mu Zi Yan faintly responded, and after reading the secret letter, “Continue to keep an eye on it.”

“Eldest Miss, waiting for Shizi’s place,” Yunxiang was inevitably still a little worried.

“They want to utilize this matter, they will definitely not make a sound.” Mu Zi Yan said indifferently.

“Yes.” Yun Xiang answered with her head hanging down and retreated.

So after two days, from the emperor set the period of solving the case there are two days, Zhang Zong is anxious since the fire, but no clue.

Straight until the deadline has arrived, the murderer has not been found, the emperor was furious, and immediately will Zhang Zong dismissed into the prison.

Niangzi Lu was so anxious that she held Zhang Qian and came to look for Mu Zi Yan, but she was blocked by Mu Zi Yan.

And Zhang Zong was imprisoned, the people learned, have knelt outside the Beijing Zhaoyin government office, since the matter can not be really lost because of this so upright and upright governor.

Mu Zi Yan sat calmly on the soft couch, listening to Yun Xiang’s report, the corner of her mouth hooked up in an evil smile, “It seems that they are also calm.”

“Eldest Miss, this matter is getting more and more heated now.” Yunxiang said with downcast eyes.

“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded and responded, “The bigger the fuss the better.”

“But, the slave girl is worried about whether Elder Zhang will be in fear of his life,” Yun Xiang said as she looked at Mu Zi Yan.

“Will not.” Mu Zi Yan said faintly, “the emperor is also just in the anger, besides, the king has no drama, this case can not be solved, since it is necessary for someone to take the blame, Zhang Zong is also just subjected to some prison disaster.”

“Yes.” Rue Xiang then stopped asking more questions.

Niangzi Lu anxiously paced back and forth in the hall, her face condensed, I do not know what Mu Ziyan is playing in the idea, and now will be the Lord into it, if the time to find out, then the Lord will not be

Hou Yi Yi arrived at this moment, and when she saw Lady Lu’s worried brow, she snorted coldly, “It’s really a case of looking at the wrong person.”

Niangzi Lu raised her eyes to look at Hou Yi Yi, “Miss Hou saying so, on the contrary, gives me chills, after all, this matter indeed has nothing to do with the county princess.”

“Is that so,” Hou Yi Yi snorted coldly, “If she hadn’t stood by and watched, it’s unlikely that Lord Zhang would be imprisoned today.”

“If you say so, then I have nothing to say.” Niangzi Lu was on Mu Zi Yan’s side since, if she shifted too quickly, it would instead cause suspicion.

And Hou Yi Yi was like she was losing her mind, after all, losing her loved ones, where could she still have any semblance of sanity?

Su Qinrou rushed over and stopped Hou Yi Yi right away, “How could you make trouble here?”
