Mu Chaoyang felt that he was too cowardly and useless.

Mu Yan said that he believed that he did not kill anyone......

Mu Chaoyang felt a burst of warmth flow in his heart, but no matter what, he couldn't tell others who killed Si Qin.

His lips pursed together, and he stopped talking after a long time, "I can only tell you that I definitely didn't kill people, and I have never killed anyone." ”

Mu Yan's body was inexplicably relieved when he heard this.

It's ridiculous to say, in her previous life, it was clear that Mu Chaoyang owed her so much, and she should have taken revenge.

But now, when it happened, she could have used the jade pendant to push Mu Chaoyang into hell, but in the end, she still had no way to do so.

It's really weird, people......

A subtle wry smile tugged at the corners of her mouth.

However, since Mu Chaoyang has been ruled out, it is very certain that it must be the eldest wife's hand.

Only Mu Chaoyang, he should know something, but the eldest lady is his mother after all, and he will definitely not say anything about it.

Mu Yan didn't intend to embarrass Mu Chaoyang, she pursed her lips slightly, and said lightly, "I believe you didn't kill Si Qin, but ...... I know you must have seen something last night, and maybe you know in your heart now who the killer of Si Qin is, but you can't say right? ”

Mu Chaoyang listened to Mu Yan's words, and his heart felt as if he was being spread by ice water, and his whole body felt cold.

From now on, how should he face his mother?

He knew that his mother would never be the kind mother in his eyes again......

"Forget it, I won't force you to answer if it's not good." Mu Yan exhaled and took the tea bowl on the table and drank the tea one by one.

The sun is quiet outside, and time flows gently between your fingers.

I vaguely remember that in her previous life, she and Mu Chaoyang had also sat under the window together and drank tea together, and the two never got tired of looking at each other.

Now that I think about it, in fact, she and Mu Chaoyang had a lot of good times together in their previous lives.

She raised her hand and gently brushed a few green silks, and her movements were as beautiful as a shock.

Mu Chaoyang kept looking at him, in fact, he had always had a doubt in his heart, and he never dared to ask.

Now, it seems to be the right time to ask.

His lips pursed together slightly for a long time, and he finally looked at Mu Yan and asked, "Mu Yan, are you...... Can you tell me that you ......" he licked his lips and paused for a long time before asking, "Are you willing to marry me?" ”

Mu Yanzhao's identity as a child is actually involuntary.

He always felt that she should be willing to marry him, after all, if she marries him, she will be able to be the eldest and youngest grandmother of the Mu family, what a noble status, she should be very yearning!

But after getting along these days, he gradually couldn't figure her out, and he wasn't even sure, and he wasn't sure whether she was really willing to marry him.

The tea bowl in Mu Yan's hand shook.

After waiting for so long, Mu Chaoyang finally asked her.

If this question had been answered by her in her previous life, she would have told her shyly and timidly that she was willing.

She looked at the man in front of her, no, it should be said that he was a teenager, he was not mature enough to be a qualified man.

The boy's eyes were hot and confused.

He waited quietly for her answer.

"I ......" Mu Yan looked at Mu Chaoyang's eyes a little unbearable.

But she didn't want to deceive, she didn't want to deceive herself, and she didn't want to deceive Mu Chaoyang, and she also wanted to gamble, and if she won the bet, maybe this wedding date would end here......

Pinching the edge of the tea bowl, she finally mustered up the courage to answer him, "I don't actually want to marry my uncle." ”

Mu Chaoyang's eyes shattered suddenly, she was full of hope and ambition, and even burned with a flame of enthusiasm, but her answer was undoubtedly a basin of cold water that penetrated her heart, and she went head-on, all the way to her toes, and every part of her body felt cold.

He stared at Mu Yan tightly, his teeth chattering, and asked, "Why?" Why not? You...... Are you someone on your heart? ”

"No, it's not because of my sweetheart." Mu Yan shook her head, she lowered her eyes and said lightly, "Actually, Uncle should understand in his heart that you and I are not from the same world. I know very well in my heart that no one wants me to marry you, Mrs., old lady, including the eldest lady, and the reason why they have tolerated me until now is actually just for a face, and they don't want to bear the infamy of dishonesty in Yanjing City......"

Mu Yan said the words from the bottom of her heart, her eyes were very calm, and her tone was very calm, as if she had practiced countless times, "...... The marriage contract between you and me is actually quite ridiculous, recruiting children? Do you really think I recruited you and the eldest lady? ”

Mu Chaoyang only felt a tightness in his chest for a while, which was very uncomfortable.

“…… Uncle should understand in his heart that you and the eldest lady did not come to this world because of me at all, so it was absurd for me to come to the Mu family, and our marriage contract was even more absurd. ”

Mu Chaoyang swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, he was a little unwilling, "Just because my mother and grandmother don't like you, right?" So if I tell you I'm ......"

"No, it's not just because of that." Mu Yan hurriedly interrupted Mu Chaoyang's words, she was afraid of hearing words such as "like" from Mu Chaoyang's mouth.

"Actually, a big part of it is because I don't feel like I fit in with everything about this mansion." She exhaled a long breath, and suddenly smiled, the smile on her white face was very bitter and helpless, "Have you ever felt the feeling of being trapped in a cage and unable to get out?" Have you ever felt the feeling that it was so hard to even breathe all the time? ”

Mu Chaoyang's brows shrank tighter, he didn't know that Mu Yan would have such a hard time, he always thought that she might be better off in the Mu Mansion than in their Jiang family.

Could it be that he was wrong?

“…… Uncle, I've really had a hard time, in fact, I'm not telling you, I'm thinking about it all the time, what should I do to escape this cage, how can I do it, how can I ruin your marriage contract, although these words sound a little cruel, even hurtful, after all...... After all, the Mu family has provided me with food and housing for many years, so I shouldn't have no conscience to say these things in front of you. ”

She pursed her lips, her fingers caressing the edge of the tea bowl crampedly, and a trace of sadness appeared on her thin face.

With such an expression, in this way, Mu Chaoyang couldn't get angry, and more sadness and pity rose in his heart......

He grew up with Mu Yan, and for so many years, he had never listened carefully to her heart, nor experienced her discomfort.

Her despair, her helplessness, he didn't know anything.

He still naively thought that marrying him was her best choice, it turned out that this was a cage, a shackle, and she had been looking for a way to escape.

With a sharp pain that was almost suffocating, he touched his chest with one hand and breathed heavily, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to have such a hard ......" (to be continued.) )
