After a brief snowfall, the weather is getting colder.

Mu Yan sat in the carriage, wearing a honey-colored embroidered plum blossom and cotton cloak, and gently lifted the curtain with his little finger to look out.

The scenery outside is still the same, but her mood is different, and she feels good at everything.

Peach and Green also stretched out half of their heads to look out, and the two of them were in a good mood with a smile.

Mu Yan first instructed the coachman to go to Jiang's house, she still had some things to ask Ming Niu's family.

The Jiang family and their husband have been panicking these days, for fear that the Lin family would secretly send someone to kill them and destroy the whole family.

But he didn't dare to run away, for fear that once he escaped, he would die faster.

The couple spent almost every day in fear, sleeping with one eye open at night, and the slightest disturbance outside, they would be scared and go straight to the cupboard.

After being tortured like this for a few days, both husband and wife took off their skin.

When Mu Yan knocked on the door and saw Niu, Niu's face was sallow, his face was full of tiredness, his eyes seemed to be congested, covered with wisps of scarlet, his eye sockets were deeply sunken, and the whole person lost weight several times.

Niu's appearance, even Peach and Green felt that it looked very terrifying, and the two grinned at the same time.

Mu Yan was extremely calm.

After all, the evildoer can't escape punishment, and the way Niu is now is also her own fault, and she can't blame others.

Niu Shi looked at Mu Yan, she couldn't help but rub her eyes, as if she couldn't believe it, her lips pursed, "Big girl? ”

When she saw it clearly, she immediately cried and threw herself on the ground, grabbed Mu Yan's skirt, and had a lot of tears and snot, "Big girl, no, eldest lady, can you save me?" ”

Mu Yan didn't bend down to pull Niu's, but just stretched out his hand and pulled the corner of his skirt, and said lightly, "Eat the bitter fruit you brewed yourself, I can't save you." ”

When Niu Shi heard this, he immediately fell to the ground in despair and hung on the ground, "Why are you so ruthless?" Anyway, you called me mother for a few days. ”

Jiang De, Jiang Yuelan and others in the house all came out.

The expression on Jiang De's face was also very exciting, as if he was crying but not crying, which was very ugly.

Jiang Yuelan and Jiang Yunwang usually have the best relationship with Mu Yan, but now that they see Mu Yan, they both have a sense of distance in their eyes, and they dare not step forward, and salute Mu Yan with their eyebrows lowered.

Mu Yan couldn't tell the taste in his heart, and only said to Niu Shi, who was crying into a puddle of mud, "Aren't you afraid of attracting people to see the excitement when you cry like this?" ”

Hearing this, Niu stretched out his sleeves and wiped his tears, got up from the ground with a grunt, and then welcomed Mu Yan into the door, closed the door again, and then sniffed and said, "If the eldest lady doesn't dislike it, just go into the house and talk!" ”

Mu Yan didn't pay attention to Niu, but walked over quickly to greet Jiang Yuelan and Jiang Yunwang.

As for Jiang De and Jiang Yuncai, she didn't even bother to look at them.

Mu Yan held Jiang Yuelan's fingers, smiled lightly, and shouted, "Yuelan." ”

Jiang Yuelan obviously showed a little smile in her eyes, but the smile quickly faded, and at the same time, she withdrew her hand, lowered her eyes and shouted, "Miss Lin." ”

Mu Yan's fingertips stiffened, and Miss Lin narrowed the distance between her and Jiang Yuelan.

She knew that this sense of distance might not be repaired for a lifetime.

She didn't force it, she just felt a pity.

Jiang Yunwang lowered his head and refused to look at her.

Mu Yan took a deep breath, but turned sideways to Tao Hong and said, "Divide the gifts I prepared between the two of them." ”

She only prepared gifts for Jiang Yuelan and Jiang Yunwang, and she didn't want to pay attention to the rest.

Jiang De's old face tightened, as if he was afraid to see Mu Yan.

Mu Yan glanced at him, and then said to Niu, "I happen to be thirsty, I wonder if I can ask for a cup of tea?" ”

She carried the corner of her skirt and entered the hall.

Niu Shi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly followed, and the rest of the people did not dare to come in, only guarding the door.

Mu Yan sat down.

Niu Shi hung her head to pour her tea, she raised her sleeves and said lightly, "No need, I just want to ask you a few words." ”

Niu shrunk his neck, and his face was very embarrassed.

"What does the eldest lady want to ask?"

Mu Yan didn't bother to beat around the bush, and asked the question she wanted to ask directly, "Do you know why my mother entrusted me to Grandma Jiang back then?" ”

The Grandma Jiang in her mouth is Niu's mother-in-law.

Niu raised a pair of eyebrows, and immediately shook his head, "I really don't know about this." Seeing Mu Yan's suspicious expression, she was even more anxious, and hurriedly explained, "Back then, I only knew that my mother-in-law brought you back, as for why she brought you back, she never said it, I really don't know." ”

Niu's appearance doesn't look like she's lying, it seems that she really doesn't know.

Mu Yan pursed his lips and asked again, "Then after you brought me back, did I wear any tokens?" ”

"Tokens?" Niu Shi thought about it with his head stuffy, and suddenly shrank his eyes and said, "When you were sent over, you were still wearing a golden lock around your neck, which was a longevity lock, by the way, there was also a jade pendant hanging on the longevity lock." ”

Hearing this, Mu Yan couldn't help but lean forward, his voice a little eager, "What about the longevity lock?" ”

Niu's ten fingers were twisted together, not daring to look at Mu Yan's eyes, "When I changed the child, I changed the longevity lock to my daughter, and now the longevity lock should be with her." ”

"Still." Niu Shi pinched the cuffs crampedly, and said, "The jade pendant on it is ...... with me."

Mu Yan glanced at Niu.

Niu Shi didn't say that she could guess that it must be Niu Shi who saw the jade eyes open, and took the jade to his own place with a trace of luck.

Mu Yan sneered.

Niu Shi hurriedly flattered, "Don't worry, I'll go get it for you." She pursed her lips again, looked at Mu Yan with blank eyes, and said, "I can give you something, but, but I want to ask you for one thing......"

Hearing this, Mu Yan almost wanted to sneer.

At this time, the Niu family still wants to hold the jade to threaten her.

Mu Yan leaned his body on the kang table, his fingers gently flicked a half-old tea bowl on the kang table, and his voice was neither high nor low, "You want to blackmail me?" ”

Niu Shi hurriedly said, "That's not what I meant. ”

"So what do you mean? Do you think I might be blackmailed by you? Mu Yan smiled lightly, but his tone was extremely cold, "I know that the jade is in your hands, and with my current status, even if you don't give it to me, I still have a way to get it." ”

Listening to Mu Yan's words, Niu Shi only felt cold.

She originally wanted to use the jade pendant to ask Mu Yan for a guarantee to ensure that their family would live a safe life without food and clothing in the future.

She underestimated Mu Yan.

The Mu Yan in front of her is no longer the soft persimmon Mu Yan she used to be, she already has a very powerful aura on her body, which is not something she can afford to provoke.

Niu didn't dare to make trouble again, so he quickly shrunk his neck and said, "Don't be angry, I really don't mean to blackmail you, I'll go get you a pendant." ”

Mu Yan didn't speak.

Niu hurriedly went out to the bedroom, rummaged through the cabinets and looked for a while, and finally entered the hall again. (To be continued.) )
