There was no one else in the room except the two of them, but just now, the candle flame on the table moved slightly, and a heavy dark shadow fell in the dark corner.

"You hurt your own people for her."

The man's voice was so complaining that he couldn't distinguish between man and woman.

"Your own people?" Mu Jingzhu chuckled, his voice was deep, and he was murderous and wanton in an instant, "I just say that I am a subordinate, and if I make a mistake, I will be punished." ”

"Hey, that's what the young master said, right?" Although the man called him Young Master, he really couldn't hear the slightest respect in his tone, "The Lord is very angry that he didn't get the ancient scroll this time, I hope you can get the 'Seven Sufferings of the Buddhist Family', because this task is very simple for you, I hope you don't let her down again." If you don't get it, she'll make you lose everything you least want to lose. ”

The corners of Mu Jingzhu's mouth were slightly hooked, and the cold killing intent was vividly realized, and even Qu Youying, who was in her sleep, frowned slightly, "So, is she threatening me?" ”

"Yes." The other party said bluntly, "Young master, please know your own identity, don't really think that you are Mu Jingzhu, the little son of Mufu." That child, when he was five years old, died at your hands. ”

Mu Jingzhu's eyes darkened, and his cold eyes went straight to the corner of the wall, and he didn't see his body move a minute, but the person in the corner suddenly heard a muffled sound, and then took a deep breath.

"You can kill me, but I'm dead, and the people who come to inform you of the news won't take care of Qu Youying's existence, for them, anyone who stands in the way of completing the task should be damned. Today's words, I hope you will remember it well and say goodbye, young master. ”

The candle flame on the table was blown again, and when he looked up again, the man was gone, leaving only a silent wooden candle.

He held Qu Youying's hand tightly, his eyes were gloomy, he didn't know what he was thinking, even the person in the dark quietly opened his eyes, he didn't notice it.

On the second day, Yun Shu knocked on the door with the decoction, and only after getting Mu Jingzhu's permission did she push the door in.

"Young Master Jing Zhu, this is a decoction for Miss, the doctor said that you will take it when you wake up."

"Give it to me." Mu Jingzhu took the decoction and put it aside, intending to wake up Qu Youying later, but when he saw Yun Shu's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, he asked, "What's going on outside?" ”

"The slave maid heard that last night the old lady met the water prince and the fourth prince overnight, I don't know what to talk about, in short, I said one night, early this morning, the old lady in front of King Ji, announced the head of the family, and the princess of the candidate, and announced it. Then the old lady thought that he was unwell and wanted to meditate and cultivate, so he handed over everything to the fourth prince and went to the temple himself. ”

"Hmm."

These, Mu Jingzhu had long expected that such a big thing happened in Shuifu, and the old lady would not ask anything more in the future, whether Shuifu could survive for a long time depended on Shui Linze's means.

But after Yun Shu said this, she still didn't leave, Mu Jingzhu knew that she still had something to say, "If you have anything else, just say it." ”

Yun Shu took out a palm-sized box from his arms and handed it to Mu Jingzhu, "This is what the eldest prince asked the slave to give to the young lady, saying that it was the old lady's request." The slave felt that the old lady had nothing to do with the young lady, and she didn't know what she would give the young lady, so she hesitated. ”

"It's okay, give it to me."

Yun Shu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled slightly, "The slave went out first." ”

She turned around and went out to close the door, Mu Jingzhu opened the box, there was a hairpin in the box, the hairpin was an ordinary magnolia texture, but the orchid carving on it was lifelike, it was a budding orchid from a distance, but it was an orchid that had bloomed from a distance, and under the illumination of the light, its jade faintly exuded a touch of red, very beautiful.

"This is my mother's hairpin."

The person who should have been sleeping opened his eyes and looked at the hairpin in Mu Jingzhu's hand, his eyes were a little moist.

"Master showed me a picture of this hairpin, and he said that this is something that my grandmother left to my mother, and it is an ancestral heirloom of their family." It's also my pass to the Heavenly Occult Sect.

Qu Youying didn't say this, she reached out and touched the orchid on it, and her face was full of laughter.

"I didn't expect that in my lifetime, I would still receive such a precious gift from my mother. The mother left it in Shuifu, did she know at that time that many years later, there would be her descendants to take it home? ”

Mu Jingzhu looked down at her, looking at the laughter in her eyes, the tears in her eyes, and the great miss for her mother.

"I'll put it on for you, your mother is very beautiful, and if you put it on, it must be very beautiful."

"Okay."

Qu Youying sat up and asked him to insert the hairpin into her hair with his own hands.

"I'll get you a mirror."

"Wait." Qu Youying took his hand, shook his head and said, "I want to comb the same hair accessories as my mother, can you help me?" ”

"Okay."

Mu Jingzhu called Yun Shu, waited for her to get up, and then combed her hair according to her request.

Qu Youying has not yet left the pavilion, and she will not pull the woman's hair bun, but on that painting, Xin Niang is combing her wife's hair in a bun, so when Qu Youying combed the same bun and wore a white magnolia hairpin, when she walked out, the eldest man in the group of people who happened to pass by saw it and was really stunned.

"Xin Niang?"

Qu Youying's eyes lit up, and with the support of Mu Jingzhu, she stepped forward and said, "Does the eldest master think that my appearance is like my mother?" ”

"Xin Niang is your mother?" The eldest man touched his beard, as if he had just figured out something, "No wonder, when I saw you for the first time, I felt very familiar, but I didn't expect you to be Xin Niang's child." At the beginning, Xin Niang saved my Shuifu, and now you have also saved Shuifu, this kindness, Shuifu will definitely repay you. ”

"The eldest lord is polite, I can get my mother's hairpin on this trip, I am worth it."

The eldest man smiled slightly, heard a sound behind him, turned around and saw that it was Jiang Tong.

He was dressed in brocade clothes, and he was followed by a thousand rhinos who were silent.

"Where are they?" Jiang Tong walked over generously and saw Qu Youying smile slightly, "You woke up quickly." I thought I wouldn't be able to wait for you to wake up. ”

"Is there something wrong with the prince looking for me?"

"Let me tell you, I'm going back to Beijing to resume my life, and I'll leave now. But the murderer has not yet been found, however, Shuifu is like this now, she should not come back to do it, but you are different. ”

"Me?"

Jiang Tong approached her, saw Mu Jingzhu beside her, and also whispered bluntly, "Last night, the person she obviously wanted to kill was you, the first time you pretended to be a miracle doctor in Shuifu, she failed to kill you, last night still, with my understanding of women, she will definitely come to kill you, you have to go back to Beijing with me, this king will protect you." ”

The last few words, he looked at Mu Jingzhu and said.

"Don't bother the prince, I will protect her."

Mu Jingzhu interrupted bluntly, Jiang Tong was not angry, touched his nose, winked at Qu Youying, and said, "I will come to you soon, remember, wait for me." ”

After speaking, he walked away, Qu Youying stood in place, not saying a word and laughing.

And Qianxi over there, she didn't say a word from beginning to end, she saw Jiang Tong turn around and leave, silently glanced at Qu Youying, and followed.

Qu Youying realized that something was wrong, but she still waited for the group to disperse before she asked Mu Jingzhu in a low voice, "What about Xie Xiaoduo?" He hasn't been there since Qianxi came back, could it be that I was wrong, he didn't know that Qianxi was coming back? ”

"He left me a letter telling me not to look for him, and to go back and tell his father that he was out on a journey."

"In the end, I still don't worry about Qianxi, I'm just worried that he can't fight Jiang Tong at all."

"But at least there are thousands of rhinos, and Jiang Tong will not be unfavorable to him, so don't worry!"

"Hmm."

Qu Youying nodded, turned around and went back to the room.

After recuperating in Shuifu for a few days, Qu Youying waited for his father, and his father knew that Qu Qiluo was dead and Aunt Sun had become like this, and he was very sad, but he didn't say anything after all, and after staying for a day, he planned to go home.

On the day of leaving, everyone in Shuifu came to see them off, and after a few polite words, they got into the carriage and drove towards Xiangling Town.

The carriage went all the way, Qu Youying sat in the car and looked at the street outside, the life of the people here was still the same, and it had not changed in the slightest because of a disaster in Shuifu.

When approaching the city gate, there were officers and soldiers at the city gate checking the people and carriages entering and exiting, and they were about to get off the car to be checked, but the leader let him go as soon as he saw Mu Jingzhu.

Yun Shu was very curious about this and asked, "We are so easy to pass?" Is it that Young Master Jing Zhu also became famous in Mist City? ”

Qu Youying shook her head and smiled, "Those officers and soldiers have been searching Qinghe's whereabouts in Shuifu recently, if there is no greeting from Shuifu, we won't come out so easily." ”

Yun Shu nodded, lowered the curtain, pouted and said, "But so many days have passed, and it is enough for Shuifu and Yamen to join forces to search Shuishui Mist City, why haven't you found anyone yet?" ”

Qu Youying glanced at Mu Jingzhu who was driving the car outside, blinked his eyes, and said in a low voice, "Because the real Qinghe died in that fire as early as possible." ”

"Fire? He's dead? Yun Shu thought about it for a while, and said in surprise, "Is it the fire that killed the fourth lady?" ”

Seeing Qu Youying nodding, she asked again, "But how are you sure?" ”

"I have privately confirmed with Shui Linze who the person who pretended to be Shui Wuyue in front of the old lady but was not discovered, and he told me that it was Qinghe. Only Qing He, who has been by Lao Taijun's side since she was a child, will know Lao Taijun's preferences, even if she pretends that Shui Wuyue is not ten out of ten, it is feasible to deceive Lao Taijun in a short time. And Qinghe, who seems to be an orphan girl, has an unrelated sister named Qingli. After Qinghe died, she pretended to be Qinghe to stay with Lao Taijun, and now that her behavior is exposed, in order to avoid being hunted down, she will definitely reveal her true colors. ”

"But Miss, how did you know that Qinghe has a sister?"

"Because—"

Qu Youying looked at the back that was blocked by the car curtain, and recalled what Shui Tongze said when he suddenly came to her the night before.

In fact, as early as when she suspected that Qing He was the murderer, she had suspected the identity of the woman who was dead and alive, but Shui Tongze's words made her even more convinced.

But she was sure that he was not the only one who knew about it.

It's just that there are some words, although she knows in her heart, she doesn't want to expose them before she has to do it.
