When Aunt Qiao heard this voice, her delicate body trembled and she raised her head in disbelief.

I saw an orange corner of my clothes at the door of the study, and a slender figure appeared from outside the study and walked in step by step. Aunt Qiao's gaze fell on her face, and she saw a young woman holding her hair in a bun, with a melon seed face with a well-defined outline, and her gaze was like lightning shooting at her.

"Isn't this Akitake?" Mu Zhizhao recognized her first and exclaimed.

When Qiu Zhu heard this, he turned around and waved at him, his eyes were clear and waveless, and he was extremely calm: "Back to the master, the slave is Qiu Zhu." ”

Mu Zhizhao stared at her for a long time before he sighed melancholy: "My mother is gone, didn't she already give the three of you a deed of sale, why do you call yourself a slave?" You...... Are you still blaming me? ”

Qiu Zhu shook his head, lowered his head and hissed: "The slave and maid are not blaming the master, the lord is as kind to the slave and maid as a mountain, how can the slave and the maid not know the severity?" The old man loves Mrs. Chong and refuses to listen to the old lady's instructions to take the slave and maid as concubines, and the slave and maid have also been sad and sad. But when I got out of the Mu family, I realized that the master was really thinking about Qiuzhu, what is good about being a concubine, he is always a dwarf. Now that the slave and maid are also married to wives, every time they think of the master, they are always grateful in their hearts! ”

"Then why do you call yourself a slave?" Mu Zhizhao listened to her sincerity, which was indeed what he thought in his heart, and he was a little surprised: "How can you say that Aunt Qiao is Qiulan?"

Qiu Zhu raised his head hatefully, stared at Aunt Qiao and said: "Although the slave maid is not the girl of the Mu family, she can thank the kindness of the Mu family, and she is afraid of the Mu family in her heart, and only by calling herself a slave can she atone for her sins......"

"What are you guilty of?" Mu Zhi asked.

Qiu Zhu gritted his teeth and said: "The sin of the slave is that he did not reveal Qiu Lan's true face!" ”

"Isn't Qiulan dead?" Mu Yunge interjected leisurely: "What do you care about with a dead man?" ”

"The eldest lady doesn't know that the slave maid and Qiulan are two sisters who have no guesses, and they are both children of the Mu family, so they naturally take care of each other in everything. Since an outing five years ago, I have only begun to feel rusty, and my relationship is not as good as before. No matter how bad it is, they know each other's temperament well, Qiulan was gentle in the past, and she was naturally timid, and she was reluctant to step on an ant on weekdays. Later, Qiulan looked weak, but the slave saw her cut off a snake with a kitchen knife without changing her face. Qiu Zhu whispered: "There are many places that are also very different from before, Qiu Lan originally didn't eat spicy, but since she came back from the outing, she began to eat spicy; Originally, I hated wearing green the most, but then I couldn't put it down...... These are nothing, the strangest thing is that she was originally a quiet character, after returning from the outing, she seemed to have lost her mind overnight, always making mistakes, making mistakes and saying that she had forgotten, and then asking everything, all caring, especially preferring to inquire about the old lady and the old man! ”

Mu Yunge frowned: "So, you started to observe her?" ”

Qiu Zhu nodded: "Yes, the slave maid always felt that something was wrong, so she always followed her secretly, and finally let the slave maid find a clue." ”

Mu Zhizhao couldn't say why, but became nervous: "What did you find?" ”

The slave maid found that Qiulan added some strange medicine to her meal every day. Not only that, but she also added some powder to the old lady's meal, but the portion was very small. Qiu Zhu had tears in her eyes, choked up and said: "After the slave found out, she wanted to expose her conspiracy every time, but the slave told the old lady, but the old lady didn't believe the slave and the maid, and said that the slave and the maid were jealous of Qiulan's lies!" ”

"Dad, speaking of which, my daughter also remembered that Qiu Zhu was scolded by her grandmother once five years ago, is it because of this incident?" Mu Yunge suddenly remembered something, and turned around to ask Mu Zhizhao.

Mu Zhizhao nodded, it was true, but I didn't expect it to be because of this reason.

It was about his mother, and he clasped his hands, expecting to hear the truth, but also afraid that Qiuzhu would continue.

Qiu Zhu said: "At that time, the slave maid knew that Qiu Lan had already discovered that the slave and maid were observing her, and she planned to trap the slave and maid in injustice. The slave had no choice but to find evidence again, but at this time, Qiulan died. ”

Mu Yunge snorted: "You also know that Qiu Lan is dead, how can you keep saying that she is Qiu Lan?" ”

"The slave maid originally thought she was really dead, but later I learned that not only did she not die, but she was still alive and well in the Mu family!" Qiu Zhu seemed to be fluctuating the strings in her heart, and suddenly raised her head: "After Qiu Lan died, the slave maid knew what she had been putting in her and the old lady's meal. The medicine would slowly kill people, and she had an antidote, and after taking it, she came back to life. But soon after her death, the old lady came back from a trip and became seriously ill. Lang Zhong said that the old lady was frightened and depressed, which caused her body to weaken. The slave secretly showed Lang Zhong the medicine stolen from Qiulan's room, and only then did she know that the medicine was the murderer. ”

The more Mu Zhizhao listened, the more angry he became: "Since you know, why don't you say it?" ”

"Master, who will believe the slave when she says it?" Qiu Zhu cried helplessly: "At that time, Qiu Lan's foundation was stable, and she was a good child in everyone's hearts in the Mu family, but the slave maid was said to be cruel and vicious because ......of that incident."

Mu Zhizhao fell silent, remembering that the situation was indeed the case back then, and he was speechless for a while.

Qiu Zhu cried for a while, and then said: "Qiu Lan is dead, and the slave maid thought that there would be no more threats to the Mu family, so she obeyed the master's arrangement and left the Mu family with this huge secret. The slave and maid left the Mu family, but their lives were restless, and they were stabbed and almost died. The slave and maid saw in a daze that the person who killed the slave and maid was Qiulan, and the slave and maid should not be killed, and was saved by the current husband. But the slave maid was really afraid that she would hurt the master, so she returned to Jinling as soon as the injury was healed, and found that she had changed her skin and became Qiao Yijun. The slave maid's whereabouts were not meticulous, and she found out once, the slave and maid were afraid that she would die in vain, and no one could correct her, so she had to hide until she was found...... Yes! ”

Suddenly, Qiu Zhu screamed in surprise and fell to the ground softly, bleeding from the corners of his mouth.

Mu Yunge stood up and was about to check, but Mei Shaoqing rushed forward with an arrow and grabbed Aunt Qiao's hand. Aunt Qiao exclaimed, and a silver needle landed at her feet.

"It's poison!" Mu Yunge only glanced at it, and knew that this poison was carmine.

Mei Shaoqing glanced at Aunt Qiao, snorted, reached out and flicked her sleeves and waist, and soon felt that there was a hidden bag in her sleeve, reached out and took out a thin paper bag from it, and threw it to Mu Yunge.

Mu Yunge sniffed the medicinal powder in the paper package, the medicinal taste was sweet and not like poison, and hurriedly fed Qiuzhu.

Qiu Zhu swallowed in a daze, and after a while, his pale face faded, and he spit out a mouthful of black blood. Mu Yunge touched her pulse and was already stable, knowing that it was indeed an antidote, and finally let go.

Mei Shaoqing detained Aunt Qiao, clicked on her acupoint, and threw the collapsed Aunt Qiao on the table, before sneering: "You woman, how can you be so vicious?" ”

The silver needle picked off Qiu Zhu's leg was thrown at his feet, glowing with blue light, who would have thought that this was the handwriting of the woman in front of him?

Mu Zhizhao kept looking at Aunt Qiao, his eyes changed from stunned to stunned, and finally turned into injury and hatred, his clenched fists and trembling shoulders were the result of his efforts to restrain himself and not kill her on impulse!

Mu Yunge waited for Mu Zhizhao's emotions to calm down a little, and Qiu Zhu also regained his senses before saying, "Qiu Zhu, you said that Qiu Lan's temperament changed greatly during the outing five years ago?" ”

Qiu Zhu didn't have the strength to speak, so he nodded.

Mu Yunge got the confirmation, turned his head to Mu Zhizhao and said solemnly: "Dad, speaking of which, I'm afraid that Qiulan was also poisoned by this woman, she pretended to be Qiulan to get close to grandma and father, so as to enter the Mu family smoothly." That Qiulan's identity is also fake, who is she, whether she has a helper or not, I don't know, I'm afraid that the Mu family will never live in peace! ”

Mu Zhizhao closed his eyes and replied with a trembling "um".

Suddenly, Aunt Qiao, who was sitting motionless on the seat, sneered, she opened her eyes and glanced at Mu Zhizhao sadly, seeing that his handsome face could not hide her sadness, she couldn't tell what she felt, she just didn't want to look at it anymore, and turned her eyes to look at Mu Yunge.

Mu Yunge squinted her eyes slightly, and looked back at her indifferently, she couldn't help sighing, and her tone was unwilling: "I didn't expect that I had planned for six years and given everything, but I lost to you, the eldest lady who is less than fourteen years old!" ”

Before Mu Yunge could speak, she laughed self-deprecatingly: "You don't have to check, I can tell you that I don't have a helper, I came to the Mu family alone!" As for who I am...... Haha, who am I! It's ridiculous that I've lived in this world for more than 20 years, and no one knows who I am! ”

"I was born in a dark alley, when I was young, I never saw my father, I had a beautiful mother, and a wet nurse." Aunt Qiao said in a low voice: "I only live in a small yard, and I inevitably feel lonely. Every time I ask my mother why I don't have a father, my mother will only cry, and after crying, she will beat me, and the nurse will persuade me on the side, and the more I persuade my mother, the more ruthless she will be, and later, the nurse will not dare to persuade her. ”

"Later, my mother was seriously ill and died, and a man came to the yard. The man took me and my nurse to another, bigger yard, and I began to have various masters. They taught me manners, taught me some messy things, and always said that one day I would use them. Aunt Qiao smiled bitterly: "I am growing up and looking better and better, and the masters are also very satisfied." One day, the man came again and said to me, I am an illegitimate daughter, and if I want to be recognized by the family, I must contribute to the family. I was so happy that I thought that I was finally accepted, and as long as there was a glimmer of hope, I would seize this opportunity. I arrived in Jinling, killed people I didn't want to kill, and did what I didn't want to do...... I am unscrupulous, I only need one identity, not the aunt of the Mu family, not the daughter of a small shop, not a lowly girl, but my real identity - my father's daughter! ”

"Your father...... Who is it? Now, Mu Zhizhao only wants to know the answer to this question.

Two tears slipped from the corners of Aunt Qiao's eyes, her shoulders twitched slightly, and after a while, she choked up, and suddenly turned into a howl and a bitter cry.

She didn't notice that another person came in the study, standing behind her, and slowly reached out and patted her on the back.
