Chapter Fifty-Eight: A Brief Reunion
Either that Concubine Xi's efficiency is fast, it took only two days to find out the traitor. Early in the morning, Mama Gui came over to spread the word, asking Mu Yao to touch the melons and catch the mastermind behind the scenes as soon as possible.
The traitor is the palace maid Lianxin of Yongshou Palace, whose family lives on the South Street of Beijing, and when he got the token given by Concubine Xi, Mu Yao began to set off to prepare to go out of the palace to find out.
What Mu Yao never expected was that she was a step late, and when she arrived at Lianxin's residence, Lianxin had already been killed, and the murderer burned down the entire house in order not to leave any traces.
When she came back from South Street, Mu Yao didn't go back to the palace directly, she hadn't gone home for too long, so she just took advantage of this time to go home and have a look.
Today's Wuzhaku Mansion has lost the excitement of the past, Mu Yao just entered the door, she heard her mother's cry, she hurriedly ran in, I didn't expect to see her for a few days, her mother was so haggard!
"E-niang!" Mu Yao shouted loudly, and then threw himself into the arms of the Guerjia clan, who was still in a state of confusion.
Guerjia didn't expect Mu Yao to suddenly appear, she hugged her daughter tightly and cried, "Is my Yao'er back?" ”
Mu Yao nodded, she also cried bitterly, "Eniang, my daughter is not filial, so I worry you!" ”
"It's good to be back! It's good to be back! Guerjia shook his head and hugged Mu Yao tighter!
After the mother and daughter hugged their heads and cried for a while, they reluctantly separated, Guerjia touched Mu Yao's head, and said distressedly, "My Yao'er has lost weight!" ”
"I'm fine!" Mu Yao showed a bright smile at the Guerjia clan, so that her mother could feel at ease!
"Eniang, everything is fine in the palace, you must not worry!" Mu Yao took her mother's hand and continued, "Seeing her mother like this, my daughter really doesn't feel good in her heart!" ”
Guerjia nodded, she wiped the tears from her face, and said happily, "You return to Eniang, Eniang won't be sad anymore." ”
Mu Yao was silent for a moment, but still spoke, "Eniang, in fact, I just went out of the palace on an errand, and I have to go back later!" ”
When Guerjia heard this, she immediately jumped up from her chair, and she stopped, "It's hard to come out, let's never go to that place where we eat people and don't spit out bones!" ”
Mu Yao pulled Guerjia's hand closer, and she said firmly, "Eniang, now my daughter is charged with murdering the fourth elder brother, this crime is a big crime of the nine clans, I can't just carry the black cauldron, so my daughter must find out the real culprit and let herself come back innocent!" ”
"Well said! Worthy of being my Wu Zaku's child! At this time, Wushitu came in from outside, only to see him with tears in his eyes, and said to Mu Yao, "Good boy, you have grown up!" ”
Mu Yao threw himself into Wushitu's arms and said with tears in his eyes, "Grandma, my daughter misses you so much!" ”
Wushitu is a dignified second-class member, and at this moment he has also become a tender father, he gently patted Mu Yao's shoulder, and said, "Child, do whatever you want to do boldly, Grandma Eniang will always support you!" ”
Mu Yao's cat nodded vigorously in Wushitu's arms, and suddenly she raised her head and said to Wushitu, "Grandma, my daughter needs your help with something!" ”
Mu Yao explained the matter of Lianxin to Wushitu from beginning to end, and then she said, "This Lianxin definitely knows the inside story, although she is killed now, she will definitely leave some clues, so my daughter wants to ask Grandma to help with the killing of Lianxin, check it carefully!" ”
Wu Shitu agreed, time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is afternoon, Mu Yao must leave, otherwise she will not be able to go back as soon as the palace door is locked.
