The eldest lady suddenly became worried, and even her neck stood up.

What should I do?

She paced back and forth, her palms sweating.

Mother Sun could only persuade cautiously, "You wait and see, maybe Sun Ping will come back tomorrow?" ”

The eldest lady exhaled, "It's only like this, but the situation is very unfavorable to us at the moment, you and I have to be more careful." ”

Mother Sun nodded, "The slave knows that the slave must be cautious." ”

…………

After Mu Yan came out of the eldest master's study, she stood on the edge of the rockery in the garden for a long time, she held Mu Chaoyang's jade pendant in her sleeve with one hand.

The jade pendant is warm to the touch.

Her mind was full of twists.

Does Siqin's death have anything to do with Mu Chaoyang?

She looked at Shun'an Hall not far away, her eyes were very hesitant.

Do you want to ask?

She paced back and forth on the side of the rockery, and the peach and green were anxious, and she didn't dare to speak, so she could only accompany her silently.

After turning back and forth for more than a dozen times, Mu Yan finally stood still, frowned slightly, and said, "Let's go, go to the uncle's house to see the uncle." ”

Pink and green were stunned.

This was the first time that the girl had taken the initiative to find Mu Chaoyang, and both of them felt a little strange.

However, since Mu Yan is willing to be close to Mu Chaoyang, this is also a good thing.

The three of them went all the way to Shun'an Hall, and Mu Yan's footsteps were very fast, without stopping halfway.

Mu Chaoyang had hardly slept all night, he was sitting on the Taishi chair as if he had lost his soul, and in front of him was a bowl of black decoction, which had already cooled down.

"Uncle......" Suddenly a girl broke in, Mu Chaoyang was startled, and his dull eyes finally turned to the little girl.

"What's the matter?"

The little girl curtched and said, "Miss Yan has come to see you." ”

Mu Yan?

Mu Chaoyang blinked, then lowered his head and flicked the placket of his clothes before he spoke, "Please come in!" ”

"Yes." The little girl lowered her eyebrows and retreated.

A moment later, Mu Yan stepped into the chamber lightly.

As soon as she entered the house, she smelled a strong smell of medicine.

She curtsied her knees, and then asked, "Uncle only drinks medicine?" ”

There was a bowl of decoction on the table, which had not been touched.

Mu Chaoyang's face turned yellow, and his eyes were dark blue, obviously caused by staying up late.

"Well, my grandmother was afraid that I would be frightened, so she specially ordered someone to boil a decoction to calm the nerves." He raised his hand, invited Mu Yan to sit down, and said, "I'm afraid it's too hot, so I haven't drunk it yet!" ”

As he spoke, he picked up the soup bowl and drank it with his neck raised, and frowned slightly after drinking, the soup was very bitter.

Mu Yan hurriedly handed over a bowl of warm water in person, "Uncle, please rinse your mouth." ”

In her previous life, she also served Mu Chaoyang like this, when she was still his wife.

Taohong came over with a spittoon, and Mu Chaoyang rinsed his mouth.

None of the maids and daughters in Mu Chaoyang's house were there, and they were all guarding outside......

It seems that Mu Chaoyang has something to worry about, is it related to Siqin's death last night?

Mu Yan remained silent, and after Mu Chaoyang finished rinsing her mouth, she said in a low voice, "Uncle knows, Si Qin bit his tongue and committed suicide last night." ”

At the mention of the word "Siqin", the expression on Mu Chaoyang's face obviously changed, and his hand on the kang table couldn't help but clench into a fist.

"Dead? I haven't heard of it yet. Mu Chaoyang replied, although his tone was calm, his expression was very unnatural.

Mu Yan saw it in her eyes, she hesitated for a moment, and then waved her hand to let Peach and Green Turnip retreat.

Taohong and Luwu stood in place and hesitated, although Mu Yan wanted to marry Mu Chaoyang in the future, but lonely men and widows were in the same room like this, I was afraid that it would not be appropriate.

"Girl, this ......," Pink couldn't help but say, "I'm afraid it's not good, right?" ”

Mu Yan looked left and right, understood, and then ordered, "Go to the screen outside and keep it, I have something to say to my uncle." ”

Peach and Green looked at the screen of the landscape ink painting, hesitated for a moment, and then moved over.

Only then did Mu Yan open his mouth and asked in a low voice, "Uncle, I have a few words to ask you, I hope you can answer me truthfully." ”

It was the first time Mu Chaoyang had seen Mu Yan so serious, the girl in front of him had fair skin, ruddy cheeks, a pair of dark eyes, and her eyes were as bright as stars when she was serious.

Before I knew it, she was already so charming......

Mu Chaoyang suddenly felt his heart fluttering, and his whole body was hot, he reached out and rubbed the tip of his nose, picked up the teacup very unnaturally and said, "Say it!" ”

Mu Yan didn't know what Mu Chaoyang was thinking, she looked left and right, and then asked in a low voice, "What did Uncle do last night?" ”

As soon as Mu Chaoyang heard Mu Yan's question, he immediately felt uneasy, and almost missed the tea bowl in his hand.

Why did Mu Yan suddenly ask him what he was doing last night?

Don't......

His eyes suddenly shrank, and sweat was on his back.

He had lost something very important last night, and he only realized it this morning when he changed his clothes.

Mu Yan has never been a reckless person, and the questions she asked must have deep meaning.

So, did she pick up his jade pendant?

He stared at Mu Yan tightly with his lips together, Mu Yan also stared at him for a moment, the two stared at each other for a long time before Mu Chaoyang broke the situation and spoke first, "What do you want to say?" ”

Mu Yan only felt that her throat was dry, and it took a long time before she took out the jade pendant from her sleeve and handed it to Mu Chaoyang, "This is what my people found from the window of the firewood room where Si Qin died, and I recognized it as you, so I didn't tell anyone about it, I just thought of you and asked you, Si Qin...... You didn't kill it. ”

Her words were direct.

Mu Chaoyang was shocked or shocked when he heard these words, he swallowed his saliva with difficulty, remembering what he heard the man in black say under the window last night, "Who let you mess with the eldest wife, I don't know what the sky is high and the earth is thick, you can still have a good end if you provoke the eldest wife, die!" ”

His heart almost stopped beating when he heard this, and he didn't expect his mother to send someone to kill Siqin......

Growing up so big, he had always respected his mother, and he never thought that his mother would kill someone.

But the facts were in front of him, and he could not be unbelieving.

Therefore, he stayed awake all night last night, thinking about Siqin's death all the time, thinking about what kind of person his mother was, who had grown so big, he actually felt that he suddenly didn't know his own mother.

He was silent and did not speak, and squeezed the jade pendant in his hand tightly.

Mu Yan kept staring at him, and said again, "In all fairness, I don't believe you will kill, after all, you and Si Qin have had a ...... I don't believe you would cut off her tongue so cruelly, and I don't believe you would poison the murder weapon......"

Mu Chaoyang listened to these bloody words, and a very three-dimensional picture suddenly appeared in front of him.

In the darkness of the night, a tall man pinched Siqin's neck and cut off her tongue, and he, so useless, hid under the window, didn't even dare to call for help...... (To be continued.) )
