    “If you want to stop now,” Princess Qing Li coldly snorted, “don’t think about it.”

    “Master, the Zhang Clan is afraid that they are not willing to get involved, for fear that they will be implicated at that time,” the subordinates were referring to their own intentions.

    “It’s just a cheap bastard, her soft underbelly is Mu Ling Rui, think of ways to get Mu Ling Rui out of the capital.” Princess Qing Li said in a cold voice, “It’s best to send him to the Northern Qing Kingdom.”

    “Yes.” The subordinates hung their heads and answered, “Master, the old madam’s place.”

    “There’s no need to pay attention to that old pious woman, sooner or later she’ll die.” Princess Qing Li said in a cold voice, “Keep an eye on that bitch Zhong Xuan, she’s the one who’s restless.”

    “Yes.” The henchman bowed in response and dashed away.

    The palace maid outside walked in, “Princess, the extra horse harnessed by the side of a team is here.”

    “En.” Princess Qing Li faintly answered and said in a deep voice, “Please.”

    .”

    “Yes.” The palace maid answered with her head hanging down and retreated.

    Not long after that, he saw Jun Qianlun walk in, looking at Princess Qing Li with a cold color, “I see the princess.”

    “The emperor’s son-in-law is still this rusty to me.” Princess Qing Li said indifferently.

    “The princess is a thousand gold, I can’t mess up the rules since.” Jun Qianlun continued.

    “you and I are husband and wife, extra horse harnessed by the side of a team is so cold, and why” Qing Li Princess got up, slowly walked to Jun Qian洺’s heel, “is not extra horse harnessed by the side of a team think that this palace is not worthy of you”

    “For the Princess to say so, it makes me fearful.” Jun Qianlun lowered his eyes and returned, taking a step backward without showing any trace.

    Qing Li Princess obviously have no patience, so long ago, Jun Qianlun since waking up never touched himself, even the minimum proximity are not, she is also a woman, is not really let her widowhood not

    Jun Qian Mia see Qing Li Princess eyes low flash through the sinister, he did not move and said, “Princess, I come is because of the North Qing country that came to the people.”

    “Oh” Princess Qing Li was about to lash out, but saw Jun Qian Lun mentioned another thing to, also can only be angry suppressed, doubtfully asked, “who is it”

    “I heard that it is the emissary of the Northern Qing Country, who is now in the hall.” Jun Qian lun continued.

    “I’ll go take a look.” Princess Qing Li said in a cold voice, lifting her steps and heading out.

    Jun Qianlun raised his eyes and swept them lightly before turning to leave.

    Princess Qing Li traveled to the front hall and saw a person coming, then she knelt down and said, “I see Your Highness.”

    “So it’s Lord Kuang.” Princess Qing Li’s eyes were slightly raised, then she sat down, “Lord Kuang leveled off.”

    “Yes.” The man in front of him was about just past his prime, with a stout figure and a murderous aura that made people not dare to look directly at him.

    Jun Qian洺自是知晓此人乃是武将,只是想着北青国为何突然派来使者

    Princess Qing Li looked at the man in front of her, her eyes flashed with a flash of ghostly light, then said, “I don’t know what Lord Kuang came for.”

    “The Empress knows that it will be Your Highness’s birthday in a few days, and has ordered me to send a birthday gift.” Lord Kuang lowered his eyes and said.

    “Empress Mother has a heart.” Princess Qing Li responded with a smile, and then ordered the birthday gifts to be received.

    As Lord Kuang bowed and retired, Princess Qing Li turned around and went back to her own courtyard.

    Jun Qian lun has not appeared since the beginning, but for the front hall of the matter since is like a finger in the eye.

    The Cool King suddenly came at this moment and raised his eyes to look at him, “The Northern Qing Kingdom is surprisingly so attached to Princess Qing Li”

    Jun Qianlun lowered his eyes and said, “It looks like it.”

    “Hmph.” King Liang coldly snorted, “You and Princess Qing Li are now a joke in the capital.”

    “this matter is two love things, it is hard to not father still want to let son hard to not” jun qian lun said slowly.

    “rebellious son ah.” The cool king sighed quietly, is a person will have a soft underbelly, and the cool king for jun qian luvia’s expectations have always been very high, and his temperament is also the most like their own, so the father and son to meet, every time is not the words more than half a sentence.

    Jun Qianlun does not care, only feel like he is caught in a cage can not break free, he hated his identity, also hate to have a father like the cool king, but there is no way, but he is the son of the cool king, with such an identity.

    Jun Qianlun secretly will Qing Li Princess received the news of the Queen of the Northern Qing Dynasty birthday gift to the Mu Zi Yan, knowing that now can help him get out of the cage of the person, perhaps this help him escape from the predicament of the Mu Zi Yan.

    Mu Zi Yan since received the news, Yunxiang drooping eyes stood aside, then said, “The princess will take that birthday gift to the secret passage, hidden one that did not see what is.”

    “Looks like Princess Qing Li is going to fight back as well.” Mu Zi Yan sneered.

    “Eldest Miss, why does the slave girl feel that this Northern Qing Kingdom is too godly, that it was able to spend several decades to place its pawns.” Yunxiang asked in disbelief.

    Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly, “This is just the beginning of the chess game.”

    “Eldest Miss, this messenger from the Northern Green Country didn’t come simply to send birthday gifts, right?” said Yun Xiang as she looked at her.

    “The messenger came, I think he must have another plan.” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes flashed with a flash of ghostly light, “And wait and see.”

    “Yes.” Yunxiang answered with her head hanging down, and then she retreated.

    The next morning, Mu Zi Yan went to the old mansion, and accompanied her along with Mu Lingxuan, brother and sister looked at the mansion in front of them, Mu Lingxuan since a long time has not come in, some memories have become fuzzy, the only thing I remember is the attic in the backyard.

    Mu Lingxuan looked at her, “Before my father left, he instructed me to keep an eye on you and never go near the attic.”

    “Even if I get close, I don’t have a key, so I can’t enter since.” Mu Zi Yan said with a light smile.

    “That’s true.” Mu Lingxuan continued, “But there are some oddities here, you’d better be careful.”

    “If there really is something odd, Second Uncle and the others have been living there for two years and nothing odd has happened.” Mu Zi Yan said with a smile.

    “But it’s strange to say.” Mu Lingxuan was silent for a moment, “I remember back then, I trespassed into the attic without authorization, as if it was because of another person who led me there.”

    “Brother but thought of something” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes moved slightly, turned her eyes to look at him and asked.

    “Yes, Second Uncle.” Mu Lingxuan said as he looked at Mu Zi Yan.

    “Second uncle,” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes sank, “it seems that second uncle also wanted to go in to take a look, but he knew grandfather’s temperament, and also knew that grandfather loved his brother, so he abetted his brother to go in.”

    “It should be, after I was rebuked by grandfather, second uncle even came to ask me what I saw inside.” Mu Lingxuan continued, “But I was rebuked by my grandfather, where else could I remember anything, so I didn’t talk about it with second uncle.”

    “It’s fortunate that it wasn’t mentioned, or else there might be something else happening within this attic.” Mu Zi Yan said in a low voice.

    “That’s true.” Mu Lingxuan nodded in response.

    But Mu Zi Yan felt

    Zi Yan but feel that things are not that simple, why the second uncle to go in is pure curiosity at the time of the second uncle but the old lady cultivated grown up, must be here must be the old lady behind the instigation of the old lady, it seems that the old lady has been wanting to know the secrets of the attic, then the old lady finally knew the

    Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to look at this attic and turned her eyes to look at Mu Ling Xuan, “Brother, what exactly do you think is hidden within this attic I only feel that what is hidden here is the secret that is at stake in the life and death of the Mu Marquis.”

    “If you say so, I’d like to find out instead.” Mu Lingxuan said with a smile.

    “That will also have to wait until after brother gets married.” Mu Zi Yan said with a light smile, now at this juncture, it’s better not to cause any more trouble.

    “You girl, you’ve started poking fun at me again.” Mu Lingxuan raised the folding fan in his hand and knocked on Mu Ziyan’s forehead.

    Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes and looked at him with dissatisfaction, “Brother, this folding fan of yours”

    “When I came here just now, there was something in the hall, it looked festive, so I brought it over to play with it.” Mu Lingxuan said with a light smile.

    Mu Zi Yan nodded and responded, “When Second Uncle and Second Aunt left, they didn’t take anything with them, right?”

    “Already ordered people to carefully count over, there’s nothing.” Mu Lingxuan said in a warm voice.

    “The things of the old mansion but not one thing can be missing, all the places are covered with formations, the lack of some inconspicuous objects will break the formation.” Mu Zi Yan looked at him and said.

    “If that’s the case, then it’s a good idea to count carefully.” Mu Lingxuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, “Good thing you didn’t ask Uncle Lu to come and personally count, don’t worry about it.”

    “En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded and answered.

    After a while, he saw Lu Zhong come and bow forward, “Eldest Young Master, Eldest Young Miss.”

    “Uncle Lu, is there something missing” Mu Zi Yan saw Lu Zhong’s gloomy expression, and knew that this item was very important.

    “Eldest Miss, there are two Golden Qilin missing.” Lu Zhong then handed Mu Zi Yan the inventory list, “And these things.”

    After Mu Zi Yan lowered her eyes and carefully compared, “Not a single thing can be missing, not even a single stone can be missing, Uncle Lu, you personally send someone to bring it, if you don’t give it to me, then we will come to the hard way.”

    “Yes.” Lu Zhong answered with his head hanging down and turned around to do so.

    Mu Lingxuan frowned, “These two Golden Qilin”

    “Brother, these two golden qilin are the treasure of the house, they are trying to get through the north and south feng shui, since they can’t be moved around.” Mu Zi Yan moved forward a little closer, “This thing isn’t worth much, but it relates to the secret passage of the organs within the attic, some people use it to ward off evil spirits and attract wealth.”

    “I see.” Mu Lingxuan said in a low voice, “Your focus is that this Golden Qilin is afraid that there is a hidden mechanism inside.”

    “It’s still brother who’s smart.” Mu Zi Yan blinked, “But who took it”

    “The person who could take this item must have found something in the mansion” Mu Lingxuan said as he looked at her.

    “Brother is right.” Mu Zi Yan was silent for a moment, “I should guess who it is.”

    “Who,” Mu Lingxuan asked suspiciously.

    “But nowadays can’t let her drop the bag.” Mu Zi Yan said in a cold voice, then lifted her steps and walked outside, “Brother, I see that Uncle Lu 80% can’t come back from collecting the scoops, I’ll go with brother.”

    “Good.” Mu Lingxuan mused for a moment, and the brother and sister duo left the mansion and went to the inside of Mu Qingran’s newly moved mansion.

    When they arrived at Mu Qing Ran’s mansion, the family guards outside stopped them from entering.

    Mu Zi Yan said in a deep voice, “It’s rather like a slave bullying his master.”

    “The slave is also only following the master’s orders.” That family servant said with downcast eyes, but his voice was permeated with a little fear.

    Bi Yun, however, suddenly stepped forward at this moment and kicked over, “Blind lackey, even the county master’s path dares to block, if you delay the county master’s errand, this dog’s life of yours will have to be lost here.”

    Where has the housekeeper seen such a tough girl, directly went up and kicked a foot, that force is still very big, directly kicked him to the ground, even with Mu Lingxuan look at all flashed a flash of surprise, and then it is approvingly nodded his head.

    Bi Yun fussily drank down the doorway’s housekeeper, and since he was on one side of his body, he opened the way, so Mu Zi Yan and Mu Ling Xuan entered the mansion.

    Mu Qingran happened to be absent, Zhang was looking at Lu Zhong standing in front of him with a cold face in the hall, and did not let Lu Zhong search.

    “Now that you say there are no more, how come I didn’t count them face to face when I left” Zhang pointed at Lu Zhong and said in a deep voice.

    Luzhong lowered his eyes and said, “I think the second lady is also out of the Mu Houfu, how can you still do this kind of underhanded thing.”

    Zhang’s see Lu Zhong actually also dare to sneer at her up, where can she still endure, now this place is not the old mansion, not Mu Houfu, but her territory, since she said, “This place does not have Mu Houfu lost things, not yet roll.”

    “Second Auntie has a big mouth.” Mu Zi Yan lifted her steps inside and stood in the hall with Mu Lingxuan.

    Lu Zhong stood behind Mu Zi Yan with his head hanging down and said in a low voice, “Eldest Miss, it’s the old slave who is useless.”

    “The second aunt may know that those things lost can be engraved, if the second aunt is not willing to hand over, I will ask the decree to search, if it is searched out one or two, this matter can not be the end of the day.” Mu Zi Yan looked straight at Zhang Clan and said in a cold voice.

    “The county lord this words is let the subject woman is not understand, now the subject woman has moved away from the old mansion, at first how can not face to face inventory, now on the contrary to come to ask for, the subject woman at first when she left but one thing did not take away.” Zhang’s thought will feel angry, she is nothing to take away, I do not know which one is looking for death to move this mind, but now she can not be gray to let them hands to search, in the future she in the mansion and what majesty!

    Mu Zi Yan said in a low voice, “I believe that the second aunt will not steal from the police, but also can not withstand some blind, the second aunt does not want to give those misbehavior of the back of the black pot.”

    Hearing Mu Ziyan say this, Zhang was silent for a moment and then said, ”Since that’s the case, then the county princess will search, and if the

    Search, and if there really is that start of greed, let the Sheriff do as she pleases.”

    “It’s still Second Auntie who is deeply righteous.” Mu Zi Yan also didn’t want to make an enemy out of Zhang, at this time, she knew that Zhang had no intention of dealing with her and the Marquis Mu, so she let her off the hook first.

    Lu in this time will be ordered to go to the search, straight wait until after an hour, Lu in this only held two Golden Qilin out, Mu Zi Yan also went up to look at a glance, and then looked to Lu in, “Lu uncle, these two can be false”

    “Eldest Miss, these two golden qilin are imitations, they were found in her courtyard.” Lu Zhong pointed at the woman who was brought in and said.

    The woman knelt on the ground, obviously frightened, and when she raised her eyes to look at Mu Ziyan, she said, “County Lord, Madam, these two seats of my concubine were given to me by a bystander, and were not stolen by my concubine.”

    “Who sent it,” Zhang snapped.

    “Yes yes Young Grandmother.” The woman answered back with her head hanging down.

    “She,” Zhang’s eyes went cold, turning to look at Sister Lu, “go summon her here.”

    “Yes.” With her eyes downcast, Sister Lu retreated.

    “Yun Xiang, follow and take a look.” Mu Zi Yan said in a cold voice.

    “Yes.” Yunxiang answered and followed Sister Lu along.

    Zhang’s see Mu Zi Yan so cautious, the heart also has a side calculation, raised his eyes to look at her, eyes flashed a flash of ghostly light, seems to have thought of something, and then said, “This girl since married in, since it is a peaceful and self-restraint, did not see her do anything unsettling.”

    Mu Zi Yan nodded her head and said, “Knowing people is not enough.”

    “That’s true.” Zhang was jealous of Qi and envied Qi even more, remembering her own daughter but hating Mu Zi Yan, but once it came to a matter of life and death, she had to suppress the hatred and envy in her heart, allowing herself to calmly judge.

    Mu Ziyan knew that her actions had made Zhang suspicious of Sister Lu, so she slowly asked, “Auntie, where did Second Brother go?”

    “He’s taking a break from his duties this day, so he went out to get some ink and brush.” Zhang said indifferently.

    “Who is there to follow,” Mu Zi Yan then asked.

    “Followed by only two scribes.” When Zhang saw Mu Zi Yan say this, she suddenly became alert in her heart and turned her eyes to look at the housekeeper at the side, “When did young master leave”

    “It’s been out for two hours.” The butler hung his head and returned.

    “Go find it.” Chapter whispered.

    “Yes.” The butler answered, and then he too retreated.

    Mu Zi Yan also no more words, straight until after a while, will see Yunxiang and Sister Lu came together, Zhang Yiqing is hanging his head into the interior, respectfully toward Mu Zi Yan and Zhang salute.

    Zhang whispered, “Let me ask you, did you give her these two golden qilin”

    “No.” Zhang Yiqing turned her eyes to look at it and shook her head, “How could my daughter-in-law have such a thing, even if she did, it would be filial piety to madam.”

    Zhang’s nodded slightly, then looked at the woman kneeling on the ground, the very aunt that Mu Qingran had just taken in, she said in a deep voice, “Still not telling the truth”

    That kneeling aunt just lowered her head and didn’t reply.

    The corner of Mu Zi Yan’s mouth hooked up into a cold smile, then looked at Yun Xiang, “Go and take a look.”

    “Yes.” Yunxiang answered with her head hanging down, so she stepped forward and gently touched it, and that aunt collapsed to the ground, apparently broken.

    “Dead,” Zhang’s surprised to get up, did not expect just a moment ago is still good, how can the blink of an eye is dead.

    Mu Zi Yan stepped forward to take a look before pulling out a silver needle from the top of her head, raising her eyes to look at Zhang Yiqing, “Second sister-in-law is so powerful.”

    “I don’t know what the Sheriff said,” Zhang Yiqing said as she looked at her in disbelief.

    “Go search inside Second Sister-in-law’s house.” Mu Zi Yan said as she looked at Yun Xiang.

    “Yes.” Yun Xiang answered with her head hanging down, and then went forward with Lu Zhong.

    Zhang’s see Mu Zi Yan so say, since the re-measure up Zhang Yiqing to, followed by a cold eyes, “Now, you still dare to hide”

    Zhang Yiqing, however, said doubtfully, “Daughter-in-law does not know anything, and what is hidden still hope that the lady to clarify.”
