Chapter 45: Murder

A gray rat was lying on the ground, its body already stiff.

And next to the rat was a piece of meat that had been bitten.

Mu Zhiling hurriedly took out the silver needle that Cuizhu had ordered to buy a few days ago from the drawer.

The silver needle is inserted into the meat and then taken out, and the part inserted into the meat turns black instantly.

With a sigh in her heart, Mu Zhiling staggered back a few steps and stood outside the door, speechless in surprise.

She hurriedly leaned over and hugged the shell beside her, clutching it tightly, as if it was going to disappear in the next second.

The shell obediently stuck out her tongue and gently licked her chin, the soft fur tickling her for a while.

Looking up at the raw meat wrapped in oiled paper on the sandalwood square table, and the piece that was dragged to the ground by the dead rat, Mu Zhiling bit her lip, and her eyes burst out with deep malice.

Those raw meats were retrieved by her fate Jinqiao last night.

Originally, Cuiliu was doing these things, but a few days ago, Cuiliu took leave and returned to the countryside for a while, and now the only person who can use it is Jinqiao.

At this time, Jin Qiao was about to enter the room to make the quilt, and when she saw Mu Zhiling standing outside the door, she didn't understand, her eyes seemed to be staring at the door all the time, and she said softly: "Miss, it's cold outside, it's better to go into the house." โ€

Mu Zhiling ignored her words.

Jin Qiao came closer, and wanted to muster up the courage to nag a few more words, but when he saw a qiฤ“ in the room, he was stunned.

She hurriedly knelt down behind Mu Zhiling, trembling, and even spoke.

"Miss, slave...... The slave and maid don't know anything, the slave and the maid just took the raw meat prepared by the king from the kitchen yesterday according to your instructions, and you didn't come back yesterday, the slave and maid put it on the table and left, the slave and the maid ...... Slaves and maids are also ......"

By the end, I couldn't stop crying.

Jin Qiao trembled, scared.

The young lady has not been good to her over the years, she was originally her eldest maid, but now she has gradually become a second-class maid, and she even does the work of making the bed quilt.

She acted tremblingly, for fear that one would accidentally anger the young lady.

"When you went to the kitchen yesterday, what was unusual?"

Mu Zhiling glanced lightly at Jin Qiao, who was lying on the ground and explaining in a panic, calm and cold, but there was no meaning to blame.

Jin Qiao looked up in a daze, she didn't expect Miss to ask like this, she thought that she couldn't argue with today's matter.

The facts are in front of her, not to mention that the young lady doesn't like her.

Mu Zhiling knew Jin Qiao's thoughts.

But this was not Jinqiao's doing, and she wasn't stupid enough to be like that.

What's more, over the years, Jin Qiao can also be regarded as a safe point, and he is like two people in his previous life.

In the previous life, Jin Qiao's so-called delusion, in the end, was actually the result of his own connivance.

If she had been a little more aggressive to Jin Qiao back then, Jin Qiao would not have been insatiable in the end and forgot her original identity.

"Miss, it was late when I went to the kitchen yesterday, and there was still someone-"

Before Jin Qiao finished speaking, Mu Zhixuan suddenly walked into the courtyard and said from a distance: "Why is the fifth sister angry early in the morning?" โ€

Mu Zhiling turned her head to look at Mu Zhixuan, who was walking quickly, her originally frowning brows stretched slightly, and she walked towards Mu Zhixuan and said, "Sister Xuan, why are you here?" โ€

It was just dawn now, and it was still a little time before the time to say goodbye.

Mu Zhixuan took her hand, stood on tiptoe and leaned into the room, and then whispered in Mu Zhiling's ear: "Fifth sister, I'm just worried, I'll go to my grandmother's place to say goodbye in a while, Mu Zhishuang mentioned yesterday's incident in front of my grandmother, what should we say, what if grandmother blames her?" โ€

Mu Zhiling shook her head and said, "No, she won't tell her grandmother." If the sixth sister did this, the fourth aunt would not agree to it first. โ€

Mu Zhixuan looked at Mu Zhiling suspiciously, and asked, "How not?" โ€

"First, how could grandmother believe her words, the long house has just come back, if she goes so recklessly, it will only provoke grandmother's disgust, and secondly, grandmother is not in good health now, if the sixth sister goes now, won't she slam her nose? The sixth sister couldn't think of these truths, and the fourth aunt couldn't have thought of them. โ€

Otherwise, she wouldn't have said that Mu Zhishuang was just unwell yesterday, but told the truth at that time.

Mu Zhishuang won't say this, but it doesn't mean that she will forget about it!

Mu Zhixuan looked into the room and couldn't help but scream when she saw the dead rat lying on the ground.

She grabbed Mu Zhiling's hand in a panic and said in a sharp voice, "Sister, what's going on?" โ€

Mu Zhiling hung her head and said with a solemn expression: "Sister Xuan, someone wants to poison the shells. Luckily, I went to my mother's room last night, and the shells went with me, otherwise I wouldn't have ...... I don't even know what will become of it......"

Mu Zhiling suddenly fell on Mu Zhixuan's shoulder and spoke tremblingly.

She couldn't imagine what it would be like if she left the shell alone in the room, and whether it would be as lifeless as the mouse lying on the bed.

Thinking of this, Mu Zhiling couldn't help but tremble.

In her previous life, her shell was broken by Mu Zhishuang and one leg was broken, and then she was lame for life due to Jinqiao's poor handling. In the end, it was also because of this reason that it could not run fast and was stabbed to death by a group of people.

She didn't protect it in her previous life, and she still almost harmed it in this life.

It was as if something was holding on to my heart.

If this matter was really Mu Zhishuang's doing, she would no longer tolerate it.

But can Mu Zhishuang really adjust her mentality in such a short period of time, and think so much? She's still a child under eleven years old.

"Fifth sister, when you find the person who wants to poison the shell, you must not let her go. If you don't resist such a vicious person, that person will definitely become even worse. But now that this 'big guy' is still there, you don't have to be too sad. โ€

Mu Zhixuan pointed to the shell, but the shell was suddenly covered in fluff, and anger grew.

Mu Zhiling had no choice but to withdraw her hand tremblingly.

After all these years, the big dog still doesn't like her.

Jin Qiao, who was lying on the ground, trembled even more, "Miss, the slave and maid really don't know anything at this time, the slave and maid actually like it very much...... If you like shells, how can slaves and maids be willing to harm them? The slave went to get food yesterday, and came back straight after taking it, how dare the slave and maid think like that......"

Jin Qiao spoke incoherently.

When he heard Mu Zhixuan's words, he looked up at the two of them, and just met Mu Zhixuan's deep gaze, which was frightened.

She is homeless, and she has regarded Mu Zhai as her home for the past five years.

Although the young lady doesn't like her, at least the lady treats her well, and the Mu family's monthly money is extremely rich, so she doesn't want to leave.

When Mu Zhixuan heard Jin Qiao's words, her eyes lit up, and she suddenly said, "When did you go to the kitchen last night?" If you think about it, on the way back, if you see any suspicious figures, it doesn't matter if it's not clear, as long as there is a vague shadow. โ€

Jin Qiao immediately stopped whimpering, but her body was still twitching slightly, and returned: "The slave maid went to the kitchen last night, there was only one maid burning the fire in the kitchen, she leaned on the stove and fell asleep, and then the slave maid took the meat prepared by the king chef in advance, and hurriedly walked back, as if she saw a figure on the way......

"Where did you see it?" Mu Zhixuan asked again.
