Chapter 82: The Search for the Truth

After dinner, Mu Qingwan went to Mrs. Mu's courtyard to eat, and handed over the wine and tea sent by Jin Ling'er to Mrs. Mu by the way.

Second Master Mu drank a few more cups greedily, and was blinded by Mrs. Mu.

The first day of Mu Chen and Mu Yan's report to Tongren Academy was quite smooth, and Mu Qingwan was also relieved.

Mu Qingwan mentioned to Mu Chen about Calm Qiu's fiancé by the way, and asked Mu Chen to help pay attention to it.

It's a new day, and the days go by as usual.

The list of draft reports has been decided, and Mu Qingwan heard Mrs. Mu mention that Anle Houfu originally planned to report Zhao Yun to it, but now it has been replaced by a concubine in the big house, and it has been recorded in Mrs. Zhao's name.

Now Mama Rong no longer cares about Mu Qingwan and these people, and teaches Mu Qingyin alone, Mu Qingwan is happy and comfortable, and she can concentrate on reading her own books.

Yide Academy resumed normal classes, and Mu Qingjia and Mu Qingrou began to go to school every day. And Mu Qingwan doesn't plan to go to Yide Academy to report now, mainly because it is Concubine De who is involved in running the school, Mu Qingwan is worried that the modern set will be made into four dislikes, and she really doesn't want to be offended, so it is better to stay in the house and read books by herself. I heard that Li Ying is now a big celebrity in Yide Academy, a good student with excellent subjects in various subjects, but Mu Qingwan is not too interested.

A few days passed, and Mu Chen told Mu Qingwan that Calm Qiu's fiancé found out, he was very stable and responsible, but his knowledge was not outstanding, just middle and upper, Mu Qingwan truthfully and objectively informed Calm Autumn of the situation, without personal evaluation, after all, whether it is suitable depends on her own choice, of course, unnecessary details are omitted.

On this day, the painting fan came to Mu Qingwan to go to Mrs. Mu's yard, saying that Mu Qi had something important to report.

"Miss asked me to keep an eye on Miss Five that day, and my subordinates sent people to take turns to keep an eye on it, and sure enough, there was an important discovery?"

Mu Qi's expression was very cautious.

"Qingwan, listen to it too, after all, you noticed it first."

Second Master Mu and Mrs. Mu both agreed that Mu Qingwan understood the truth of the matter.

After the death of the second miss, Aunt Ma held a grudge against the fifth miss, ostensibly eating fast and reciting Buddha in the Buddhist hall, but in fact she was planning how to retaliate. Aunt Ma rescued a little maid in the early years, and in order to repay her kindness, the maid helped Aunt Ma to drug Miss Five's meals every day, but one day the maid was discovered, and the maid hit the wall and died on the spot. The subordinates felt that the opportunity might come, so they went to stare at the people in person, who knew the biological mother of the fifth lady, and the nurse was eager to find a person in the house that no one could imagine. ”

"Who is it?"

Second Master Mu felt that the truth that had been hidden for many years might be right in front of him, so he suppressed his excitement and asked.

"It's a confidant mother-in-law by An's side, Mrs. Zhao. The subordinates followed Aunt Zheng only to find out that this mother-in-law knew medical skills, and she gave Aunt Zheng the antidote. It seems that Aunt Zheng has what she needs in her hands and is blackmailing her. The subordinates only knew this for the time being, so they hurried back to report it. ”

Mu Qi explained the situation again.

"It's her! We actually left her out, could it be that everything is done by her? But why? ”

Second Master Mu and Mrs. Mu glanced at each other, and they could see the shock in each other's eyes, after so many years of investigation, they missed this person.

An's temper is very strange, over the years, her subordinates have killed a lot of people, but Mama Zhao has been with her for many years, and she is still her confidant, which has to be said to be very strange.

"Dad, mother, this Mama Zhao is so deeply hidden, mainly because An's has attracted the main attention, so that Mama Zhao has not been noticed. Why don't you quietly search her room, she can't say that she herself has already neglected to take precautions, and she wouldn't have thought that there would be such a thing. and Aunt Zheng also sent someone to probe the message, she should know something. ”

Mu Qingwan thought about it and said what she thought.

"It's true, An's temperament is tyrannical, but in fact, he is not so shrewd, and the person behind it is this Mama Zhao. I thought it was just a small person, but I didn't expect it to involve others. ”

Mrs. Mu nodded.

"Mu Qi, you send someone to keep an eye on Mama Zhao to see who she is in contact with, don't startle the snake first. and Aunt Zheng, who also sent someone to keep an eye on it. When I have to, I ...... Forget it, don't hurt anyone. Anyway, after so many years, there is no rush for a while. ”

Second Master Mu originally wanted to say that he would start with Mu Qingrou, but after thinking about it, he gave up.

"I think Aunt Ma won't give up, we don't have to do it, just wait and see. By the way, I went to my father and borrowed from him a master of disguise. ”

Mrs. Mu knew what Second Master Mu meant, and said with relief.

After Mu Qingwan returned to her courtyard, she was still thinking about this matter, it seemed that those old people who had been in the mansion for many years knew more or less something. Mama Zhao has endured for so many years, what is it for? And what is Aunt Zheng holding in her hand? Could it have something to do with Mu Qingwan's cheap grandmother's secret? Mu Qingwan remembered that Master Wuchen said that there was a secret on her grandmother, what was it? and Mama Zhao, Mu Qingwan is now basically sure that Mu Lan's poisoning is related to her nine times out of ten......

"Miss, my subordinates will be able to disguise."

Su Mei suddenly told Mu Qingwan.

"Huh? It's true? You can show me the appearance of Aunt Zheng. ”

About two hours later, Su Mei came in from the side room, if it weren't for the fact that her clothes hadn't changed, Mu Qingwan wouldn't have seen that this was Su Mei at all.

"Like, it's like, it's exactly the same."

Su Mei, who was simple and easy to disguise, couldn't help but exclaim, Mu Qingwan had never seen Aunt Zheng herself, but she also believed in the superb disguise technique of Su Mei.

"Ruyi, prepare two night clothes for me, and I will go with Su Mei to investigate the situation tonight."

At night, Mu Qingwan and Su Mei avoided everyone and ran to Mama Zhao's residence. Mama Zhao is also an old man in the house, and she lives in a separate small courtyard, but there is no one to keep watch in the courtyard.

Quietly watching the movement in Mama Zhao's room, I saw Mama Zhao leaning on her body, and she was tinkering with a few bottles and cans. There was also a "hissing" sound coming from the inside of a jar.

Mu Qingwan frowned and continued to look at the situation in the room.

After Mama Zhao finished fiddling with the jar, she sat on the couch, embroidering a pair of tiger head shoes with the help of a kerosene lamp, Mu Qingwan saw that there were already embroidered men's clothes and girls' clothes next to her, and most importantly, Mu Qingwan saw the familiar fabric! On that day, Mu Lan's nurse took Mu Lan out of Hanxiangyuan because she received fifty taels of silver, and it turned out that the initiator was really this Mama Zhao!

Mu Qingwan's eyes are sharp, the materials used by Mama Zhao are all good fabrics, where can ordinary people buy them?

Mama Zhao was embroidering things almost reverently, and the light in the room was dim, and Mu Qingwan's eyes were sour when she saw it.

Half an hour later, Mama Zhao finally stopped. Carefully putting the clothes into a cabinet, Mu Qingwan saw that there were already a lot of clothes in the cabinet, as well as several pairs of children's shoes.

Mama Zhao lifted the mattress on the bed, fumbled in the corner for a while, turned out a sandalwood box, held it in her hand and fiddled with it for a long time, and finally put it down in disappointment, put the things back in place, and finally turned off the lights and went to bed.

Mu Qingwan glanced at Su Mei and left quietly.
