"I have to go back to the Chu family, Your Highness, don't worry, I'm fine."

Immediately, she gently broke free of Kai Mingxiu's big hand that was tightly gripping her wrist, her face was dull, but her figure gradually straightened up.

Ming Xiu's eyes flashed with pity, and he didn't stop it anymore, seeing the weak man walking out of the door, he had no choice but to flash in his eyes, and after a while, he also followed.

When Chu Nian returned to the Chu family, there was still a Ming Xiu closely behind him, Mei Xiang saw Chu Nian's weak appearance, and her face showed pity, and she stepped forward to hug Chu Nian's body and said, "Lady, it's okay, if Mother Zhu sees the appearance of the lady, she will definitely not feel at ease." ”

Seeing Mei Xiang, Chu Nian's expression was only slightly fixed, she glanced at Mei Xiang sideways, and said comfortingly: "I'm fine, how is Mother Zhu's preparations for the future?" ”

Mei Xiang glanced at Chu Nian inquiringly, and saw that although Chu Nian still couldn't hide his sadness, he seemed to be much better, Mei Xiang was a little relieved in her heart, nodded, and her eyes were a little red: "Mother Zhu's body is now placed in the firewood room in the backyard, which was ordered by Xiao Chen, saying that she would be thrown into a mass grave tomorrow, and was stopped by Lord Yaoxian." ”

Hearing this, Chu Nian's eyes gradually recovered a little, and he turned his eyes to look at Mei Xiang and said, "Tell the housekeeper to give Mother Zhu a thick burial and bury her in the Chu family cemetery." ”

Big families generally have a cemetery, and those buried in it are generally the ancestors of the family, and some are the descendants who have made contributions to the family, hearing Chu Nian's words, Mei Xiang was obviously stunned, and after a while, her eyes became more and more moved, but she shook her head and said: "Lady, this move is not appropriate, I am afraid that it will provoke Xiao Chen to catch the handle of the lady, and it will be even more ...... when the time comes."

"I'm going to see who dares to find fault with me."

When the voice fell, Mei Xiang raised her eyes in some surprise, and saw that a raging flame was burning in Chu Nian's eyes, and Ming Xiu's eyes behind her flashed slightly, and she saw Chu Nian striding towards Vanilla House: "Mei Xiang, go and give instructions to the housekeeper, if you don't obey, it will go against the will of the unequaled county lord, and you will be killed!" ”

Mei Xiang froze, "Yes!" After dropping a word, he turned around and left, like a soldier who had received a military order, his eyes were still a little teardropped, but he forced himself out of a strong appearance.

Ming Xiu looked thoughtfully at the back of the road that gradually disappeared at the door of the vanilla house, and after a while, he frowned and hurriedly followed.

Zhu's mother was still buried in the Chu family cemetery as a clan gift, although the old lady was a little resentful, but in the face of Chu Nian, who had a tough attitude, she still couldn't say anything, Xiao Chen's complained a lot, but at this time, no one listened to what she said.

Zhu's mother has been working in the Chu family for more than 20 years, and almost all the people of the Chu family have been taken care of by this kind Zhu's mother.

This sad atmosphere lasted until half a month after Zhu's mother's burial, and when the spring flowers bloomed, the atmosphere of the Chu family gradually recovered a little.

The next day, everyone received the news, saying that Chu Nian invited Vanilla to live in a talk, and everyone wanted to know if Chu Nian was getting better, so they went there one after another.

When everyone gathered together in the Herb House, they found that Chu Nian's complexion had not only improved, but even walked in a tigerly manner, but when he treated people, he had a little more fierce momentum.

Li Le and Wu Liang have always lived in the Chu family, and they are naturally the first to understand the changes in Chu Nian, and this stall is looking at Chu Nian, who is sitting on the main seat with an indifferent face, with a complicated expression.

There was silence in the room, and Wu Liang could be heard whispering in Li Le's ear: "The county lord is really kind-hearted, but he is just a servant......

"Alright, you can stop talking."

Feeling the gaze of everyone gathering, Li Le hurriedly stopped his junior brother's ignorant behavior, and immediately raised his head and carefully observed Chu Nian's complexion, seeing that Chu Nian was no different, he breathed a sigh of relief, and at this point, he could hear Chu Nian's voice sound, with a bit of heat after rebirth, but there was also an inexplicable coldness.

"I think you already know what happened here." She paused, and turned her gaze to Tao Jinyan: "I was in a bad state that day, and I couldn't deal with it calmly, thank you Mr. Jinyan for your help, I don't know what clues you can find in the West Wing that day?" ”

Tao Jinyan glanced at Chu Nian's face and found that there was indeed nothing wrong with her, so she nodded, muttered for a while, and then said: "I think that the purpose of saying that the thief is not Mother Zhu, listening to what the little maid said, Mother Zhu seems to have been stabbed to death in order to protect her, and as for the thief, he heard the sound of us rushing over, so he fled through the window." ”

Chu Nian frowned, she hadn't thought about these things these days, but now that she heard Tao Jinyan say this, it seems that this is indeed the case.

"That means ...... The man's purpose was Qiao'er. ”

At this stall, Mei Xiang on the side said angrily: "If this is the case, then this person must be the person sent by Xiao Chen's family, that day she tried every possible way to kill Qiao'er, but was stopped by Zhu's mother and mother, so she simply sent someone to assassinate Li'er at night, but she didn't expect to assassinate Zhu's mother by mistake......"

Mei Xiang's voice weakened, but these words provoked everyone present to ponder, Chu Nian pondered for a while, nodded slowly, and said: "This is reasonable, Xiao Chen's performance that day seems to be true, and even later made up Qiao'er's private meeting with men, to soak Qiao'er in a pig cage." ”

The three of the Medicine King's master and apprentice glanced at each other, their faces were heavy, they had lived in the Chu family for so long, and they also knew about the situation of the Chu family, so they saw the Medicine King speak: "If this is the case, we have to reposition the strength of this Xiao Chen clan, and we can invite a master who is not weaker than Mr. Jin Yan to assassinate a maid, and Xiao Chen's ability should not be underestimated." ”

Shen Qianrong, who was on the side, also nodded thoughtfully, these days, he was sent to take care of Shen Dui, who was placed in the suburbs, and he didn't come back for a while, but he didn't expect such a big thing to happen, people who knew Chu Nian knew that the people around Chu Nian, whether they were a servant or a friend, were extremely important, and losing each one of them was a huge wound that could not be healed for Chu Nian.

Therefore, after hearing about this, Shen Qianrong also felt a little pity for Zhu's mother, but this time Chu Nian seemed to have recovered a little, and a little relief rose in his heart.

Ming Xiu sat beside Chu Nian, picked up the teacup and took a sip, his narrow eyes flickered slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

"This Xiao Chen is really a Xiao Qiang who can't be killed, he has died so many times, you show her mercy everywhere, but she has never missed it once."

Chu Nian raised her head and glanced at Tao Jinyan, who was speaking, and after a while, she put down the teacup in her hand with a calm face, and then said calmly: "No, it is impossible for her to miss me, after all, in her opinion, her husband and children were killed by me." ”

But she forgot that she was also the culprit who killed Chu Nian's mother.

Chu Nian didn't mention this sentence, she didn't want to put Xiao Chen to death, after all, she was still too busy with the affairs of the government and the opposition, and she really couldn't spare her hands to deal with such a small minion, but she didn't expect that this little minion would give her a heavy blow at such a time.

Chu Nian's eyes cooled down slightly, and then he saw Tao Jinyan's eyes flickering and said: "She doesn't look like a rich person who hired a murderer, I remember, did Chu Yuanlang also encounter an assassination by a master last time?" ”

Hearing this, Chu Nian suddenly remembered what he heard Mu Ao say when he was at the border pass, Chu Yuanlang was assassinated again and again when he rushed to the border pass, but the traces left by the work were too obvious, even Chu Yuanlang knew that it was Xiao Chen who assassinated him.

And the last time, that is, Lian Mo, when Lian Mo went to the border pass, it was originally because of Xiao Chen's assignment...... But he is a dark man!

Chu Nian's eyes flashed slightly, in this way, Xiao Chen's and Dark Rin had already been together, so was the assassin last night also Dark Rin's person?

The room fell into silence again, and Ming Xiu on the side looked at Chu Nian's side face intently, and after a while, he said softly as if he had seen through Chu Nian's thoughts: "Lone feels that this time, it is not a dark person. ”

Everyone looked up at Ming Xiu in unison, and saw Ming Xiu frowning and putting down the teacup, and said, "Dark Rin has no reason to help Xiao Chen's family to mutilate a maid, and according to Lone's recent understanding of Dark Rin's style of doing things, he is indeed not the kind of person who kills chickens with a knife......"

"If it was really Dark, he wouldn't let Xiao Chen use such an obvious trick to harm Nian'er, Xiao Chen is a fool, but Darken is not."

When these words fell, everyone suddenly fell into deep thought, Chu Nian's eyes flickered slightly, and after a while, he turned his eyes and looked at Ming Xiu inquiringly: "If it weren't for the darkness, who else could there be?" ”

Ming Xiu frowned: "Let's count it as a backstage of the Xiao Chen clan, do you remember, how did the Xiao Chen clan kill the Liu clan?" ”

Chu Nian fell into deep thought, and after a while, he turned his eyes to look at Wu Liang, and saw Wu Liang raise his head in hindsight, but his face showed a weak face: "Well, I just sold a painting, and at that time, someone made a special trip to ask me to sell that painting to Yuan Lang, I was only responsible for selling the painting, and the lotus seed soup was not my ...... for the Liu family."

As soon as these words came out, Chu Nian's face suddenly sank, and she looked at Wu Liang inquiringly: "Do you remember who it is?" ”

Wu Liang's face was a little stiff at the moment, and Li Le on the side saw Chu Nian mention this matter, but he didn't mean to say anything about Wu Liang, so he breathed a sigh of relief, pulled his stubborn junior brother's arm and said, "If you say it, it can be regarded as atonement." ”

Hearing this, Wu Liang had no choice but to sigh lightly before he spoke: "It was a man in black that day, I remember that he had a long scar on his hand......"

He reached out and gestured over his right palm, "Probably from here to here." ”

Chu Nian's gaze stayed on Wu Liang's palm, and after a while, he heard Wu Liang say honestly: "I don't know about the rest." ”

The person who went to instruct Wu Liang to sell paintings that day was not Xiao Chen, and he wanted to come...... It's Xiao Chen's backstage!

But with such a master, what kind of force will it be...... Chu Nian fell into deep thought, now, there are too many of their enemies, the Queen Mother, the Dark Rin, the Wang family, the princes with unknown attitudes, and Qinghe......

Chu Nian lowered his eyes slightly, thinking that it was time to chat with Hutongzhi.
