After walking around the market and tasting almost all the delicious things, Mu Xinya patted her stomach and walked to a shop contentedly.

"Miss Xinya?"

She had just stopped at the door and had not been long before the sharp-eyed woman in the shop saw her at a glance, and then put down her work and hurried out to meet her.

"Aunt Fang!" Mu Xinya smiled sweetly at the visitor.

"It's really Xinya girl, I thought I was dazzled, come on, come on, come in, don't stand outside!" The woman who was called Aunt Fang's eyebrows and kind eyes smiled and pulled Mu Xinya and walked to the shop.

Aunt Fang is the proprietress of the "Jinhe Embroidery Workshop", and she takes great care of her on weekdays, and Mu Xinya has been embroidering for her for the past six or seven years to earn some silver taels to supplement the family. Otherwise, she and her mother, Leling, would have been on the streets.

"Aunt Fang, I'm sorry, I was delayed a few days ago, so I haven't been able to come, have you been busy with business in the workshop recently?"

"It's a little busy, but it's okay. Xinya, is your mother's illness better?"

"My mother...... Well, it's better", Mu Xinya nodded hesitantly. She hadn't seen her mother for several days, and she must have been very anxious, but she couldn't do anything about it.

"Alas, it's really not easy for you orphans and widows", Aunt Fang couldn't help but sigh. In fact, she didn't know Mu Xinya's true identity all along, thinking that she was just a poor child. Speaking of which, who in the world would have thought that the daughter of the Prime Minister would be so depressed that she would show up to make a living.

"Thank you Aunt Fang for taking care of you all these years", Mu Xinya looked at Aunt Fang gratefully. She lives in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but she can't get a penny of silver for a month, if it weren't for Aunt Fang's help, she wouldn't even be able to afford a doctor when her mother was sick all these years.

"That's also Xinya, your craftsmanship is good, and the guests can like the things embroidered by your hands. Oh, these are needlework and thread samples, you can take them back, you don't need to embroider slowly in a hurry", Aunt Fang was so familiar that she handed the pre-prepared sewing box to her as usual.

The two talked about it again, and after saying goodbye, Mu Xinya left from the "Jinhe Embroidery Workshop" with a sewing box.

Aunt Fang has a surplus of needles and threads for her every time, hehe, this time she can secretly embroider something for Fang Yunting! Well, what should I embroider for him?

In the lively bazaar, people of all shapes and shapes gathered at this hour, and the voices of people were mixed. Mu Xinya lingered alone in the crowd, still worrying about what to embroider, when suddenly a person slammed into her shoulder.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, girl, are you in trouble?"

Before she could stand firmly, the man who bumped into her immediately asked in a sharp voice, Mu Xinya raised her eyes and saw that the person standing in front of her was a thin and small black-faced man with rat eyes, and there was a particularly conspicuous black mole on his chin.

This person is so familiar, she seems to have seen it somewhere......

Seeing that he was looking at her left and right as if waiting for her answer, she didn't have time to think so much, Mu Xinya just wanted to open her mouth to answer that it was not a big deal, but she just gently pulled the corners of her mouth, and the pain in her abdomen immediately came from the heart-piercing and bone-eating pain, and quickly spread to her limbs and five bones, making her forehead gush cold sweat in an instant, and the drops slid down after converging.

What's going on?

Mu Xinya subconsciously reached out and touched her abdomen, a wet and warm touch came, and when she raised her hand, she saw that her hands and lilac dress were all patches of shocking scarlet.

Blood, lots of blood...... It was when this thief-eyed man had just hit her......

Mu Xinya's body was almost stiff in pain, and when she raised her head, she saw a sly and sinister smile on the man's lips.

"You-"

As soon as she struggled to spit out a word from her throat, the man immediately snorted coldly, hid the dagger stained with her blood in his sleeve robe, stretched out his arm and waved his hand directly at her face, and the white yellowish fine powder spilled in the wind, all of which entered her body with her breathing.

"Ahh

Her consciousness became more and more blurred, and Mu Xinya gradually couldn't see the face of the person in front of her clearly, and only vaguely saw the hideous and ugly black mole.

Is she dying?Fang Yunting......

Just as she was about to slowly close her eyes, losing all her strength and almost falling, the man with the black mole sensitively took out a golden bell from his arms and sent it to her ear.

"Bell-bell-bell-bell", the crisp sound of the bell sounded in her ears, hitting her heart like lightning, making Mu Xinya's whole heart shocked, and her spiritual consciousness and soul were almost shattered, Fang Yunting's broken face in her mind was replaced by a large shadow, and the eyes that were about to close suddenly opened. Seeing this, the man quickly moved the bell in front of her, and Mu Xinya's wandering gaze immediately followed its movement and firmly locked on it.

"Miss Mu, come with me", the black mole man commanded in a deep voice, his posture and expression were like an ancient rakshasa.

"Yes. Mu Xinya Muran replied.

Looking at Mu Xinya's sluggish eyes, a ruthlessness suddenly flashed in the eyes of the black mole man. Oh, control her mind, succeeded.

Walking through the hustle and bustle of the market, the man with the black mole walked in front, looking back at Mu Xinya who was one step behind him from time to time, and did not stop until he walked into a dark alley.

He first sneakily looked around, and saw that there was no one around, and even if one or two passers-by passed by the entrance of the alley, they were all in a hurry and did not notice the situation here.

The man with the black mole stretched out his hand and began to grope around the cyan stone wall, and after touching the place he was looking for, he gently tapped seven times with his index finger, and after a while, he only heard a "clang", and half of the wall was pulled away from the inside, revealing a gap that was just enough for people to understand. How many people in the world would have thought that there was such a mysterious stone gate hidden in this ordinary alley!

"Second brother, come in quickly", a hoarse and deep voice came from behind the stone door.
