Shen Muwan walked towards the Cui family's back flower courtyard under the guidance of Cui Lingyun, and met many other people who came to celebrate his birthday on the way, because the old man's birthday was tomorrow, and these people all arrived in advance, so they were all arranged to rest in different places.

Shen Muwan rarely walked around in the Xianmen before, that is, many people in the Xianmen didn't know him much, not to mention that most of the people who came today were from the Xianmen family, and even fewer had seen her.

Many people had originally gathered together to greet each other, but then they all stopped and looked at them curiously when they saw Chief Manager Qi respectfully leading a young man in his twenties and a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old to the place where the old lady in the backyard lived.

It's not that these people don't know anything, it's just that this scene looks too disobedient, although the head of the Cui family's Qi usually looks easy-going, but in fact, there is a sense of arrogance in his bones.

Although he is not domineering in his usual dealings, it can be seen from his attitude that few people can enter his eyes.

The entire Cui family may only be convinced by the old lady Cui Yuanfan, and even the second old lady of the Cui family, who is currently in power, sometimes does not give face. It's unheard of to be so polite to two juniors now.

And if you look closer, you will find that he is polite to the two young boys and girls, and between the two people, the young man is more polite to the girl, which is a bit flattering. Her hand was hanging on one side all the time, for fear that she would fall while walking, as if she was serving her ancestors.

And this girl dressed in blue, with fluttering clothes, did not have those crested ibis jade pendants brought by big families on her head, and her face was not powdered, but her slightly green little face carried a majesty that did not belong to her age. Although it does not have the enchanting charm of a mature woman, it has a cold and beautiful temperament, which makes people feel that they can only be watched from a distance and cannot be blasphemed.

The girl's gait was steady when she walked, the small fan in her hand swayed gently, and she carried a chic and calm in front of and behind her. It makes people feel that everything in the world is not in their eyes.

During this time, some people in the crowd might be familiar with Steward Qi, so they asked loudly, "Steward Qi, who are these two?" ”

Steward Qi didn't hide it, and pointed at Cui Lingyun, "This is the grandson of the old lady of our family, Cui Lingyun!" This is our eldest young master's uncle, Lord Shen Feng of the Xuanji Sect! ”

At this introduction, those people immediately boiled a little, and they all hurriedly greeted the future head of the Cui family and the current master of the Xuanji Sect, Shen Feng.

Shen Muwan hated this kind of entertainment that no one knew the most, so she had to reluctantly nod to everyone, which was regarded as a greeting.

As soon as the three of them were gone, the men began to talk about it.

"This is the next head of the Cui family? That's too young! If only his father were here, it should be his father who would take over the position of head of the family! ”

"Who said it wasn't, but nineteen years ago, I didn't know what happened to the Cui family, and the son and daughter-in-law of the old lady Cui died overnight, and I heard that it seemed to have been killed by the demons. The spiritual power of both of them was sucked dry! ”

"Poor old lady Cui only cared about cultivation in his early years, and he only had such an only son at the age of one hundred and fifty or sixty, but he didn't expect that even this only son would be lost when he was nearly two hundred years old. And this Cui Lingyun, his parents died overnight at a young age, it's really miserable! ”

“……”

There was everything to say for a while. Although Shen Muwan and the others had already gone far, it was not difficult to hear them speak with her spiritual power, and she used a trick to "probe the ground and listen", connecting her feet with the ground, and anyone who wanted to hear them within a radius of one mile could hear them, of course, the premise was that the other party's spiritual power was lower than hers.

When she heard those people say that Cui Lingyun's parents were killed nineteen years ago, she couldn't help but chuckle in her heart.

Is this a coincidence? Yan Hanze's mother went in the direction of the Cui family nineteen years ago, and the Cui family died two people nineteen years ago, doesn't it matter? Shen Muwan definitely doesn't believe in this kind of coincidence, but if it's not a coincidence, what does the death of Cui Lingyun's parents have to do with Yan Hanze's mother?

She sorted out her thoughts, Yan Hanze's mother was pregnant at that time, and she almost died after being thundered, so she finally raised her body, what did she do when she came to Cui's house? Is it to kill Cui Lingyun and his wife?

So what is the relationship between them, so that Yan Hanze's mother can run over to kill people while pregnant?

This is too unreasonable, under normal circumstances, it is a female devil who kills people without blinking, and after pregnancy, she will accumulate blessings for the child in her womb and do not kill. What's more, no matter what she heard from the residents of Lotus Town or from the mouth of Hua Wuying, Yan Hanze's mother was a gentle and kind person, how could she go to someone's house to kill people?

Unless she has a reason to kill.

The more Shen Muwan thought about it, the more nonsense she became, and she felt that the clues in her brain were a mess, and the more she became, the more chaotic she became.

She thought about these things in her mind, but she still obediently followed Cui Lingyun to the backyard of Old Man Cui, and then entered the house.

Then I heard Cui Lingyun's exclamation: "Grandpa! Y-What's wrong with you? How so. ”

Shen Muwan came back to her senses at this time, and when she looked closely, she saw an old man half-lying on a large collapse, with white hair and a layer of dead gray on his face.

Cui Lingyun rushed to the old man's side and knelt on the ground, the old man stretched out his hand and stroked his head kindly, "Xiaoyun, you're finally back!" The old man said, with tears in the corners of his eyes.

"Grandpa, how can this be? You are already a cultivator in the late stage of the Yuan Infant, why did you become like this? Cui Lingyun held the old man's hand tightly, more than ten years may be a long time for ordinary people, but for cultivators like them, more than ten years will not change their appearance and body like this.

More than ten years ago, Cui Yuanfan was still middle-aged, and now he shouldn't be so old and weak.

Cui Yuanfan raised his eyes and looked at Steward Qi who came in with them, and Steward Qi nodded understandingly, and let all the people in the room retreat.

Shen Muwan, as an outsider, saw that the ancestors and grandchildren of the family wanted to talk about themselves, it was not good for them to stay here, and they were going to quit, but they were stopped by Cui Yuanfan, and asked Steward Qi to move a chair and let her sit aside.

Obviously, he asked Shen Muwan to come to the backyard together, and he made plans to let her know the inside story.

Shen Muwan sat on the Taishi chair, picked up the tea handed over by Steward Qi, took a sip of tea slowly, and couldn't help frowning. Peel off the lid of the teacup and take a closer look at the tea soup, the light green is still glowing with a little yellow luster, and the aura of just one cup of tea is extremely abundant.

It seems that the Cui family's spiritual spring is really a big spiritual spring with a lot of spiritual power, but there is such a spiritual spring to nourish this old man's body, how can this be like this? There is a kind of appearance of running out of oil and drying up.

Shen Muwan looked at Cui Yuanfan's expression carefully, "Old lady Cui, please forgive the younger generation for many things, the old lady is not sick, but it seems to be ...... Poisoning! ”

Cui Yuanfan's cloudy eyes glanced at her with some surprise, "I didn't expect Lord Shen Feng to understand poison?" ”

Shen Muwan was inevitably a little embarrassed in her heart, how could she guess, she asked the system, and the system didn't stop her soft grinding and hard bubbles before revealing a little plot.

These are all side plots.,There's no real connection with the male protagonist.,The explanations in the book are all brushed aside.。 It's only because it's related to Cui Lingyun that he has some explanations, and many of Cui Lingyun's subsequent experiences are related to his family, and because of these things, he later became one of the male protagonist's right-hand men.

Shen Muwan heard Cui Yuanfan ask that, so he had to shake his head profoundly, "No, it's just that I have seen a similar illness to Old Lady Cui from the second senior brother before, but your poisoning is much deeper than that person." ”

"It's all my fault that I didn't notice the use of people, so that the old man was poisoned for three years in a row, and then he would ......" Steward Qi stomped his foot, with a look of remorse, Shen Muwan suspected that if he had a knife in his hand, he would be able to apologize for his crimes.

"Lao Qi, don't blame you, don't I see it? Who would have thought that he would betray me! Old lady Cui's slightly cloudy eyes were closed, and there was a bit of tiredness and regret between her eyebrows.

"Who? Who poisoned Grandpa? Cui Lingyun's anger was ignited instantly, and the usually gentle person looked like he was going to eat people at this time, he looked at Cui Yuanfan first, and when he saw that his grandfather didn't speak, he looked at Steward Qi, "Uncle Qi, you say!" Who the hell is it? ”

"Young Master, you, don't ask!" Steward Qi obviously didn't want to say it.

Cui Lingyun suddenly remembered something, and his eyes suddenly widened, "What about Ma Jie?" What about Ma Jie? ”

Seeing that neither of them spoke, Steward Qi was able to kill a mosquito between his eyebrows.

Apparently he guessed right.

"It's Ma Jie? I said why I haven't seen this kid just now, how can it be him, it can't be his! He grew up with me, and he told me a lot of things at home over the years. We have always had correspondence, I treat him as a brother, and he also treats his grandfather as his own grandfather, how can it be ......" Although Cui Lingyun guessed the result, he didn't want to believe his guess.

"Where is he? Where is he? Take me there, I'm going to ask him for myself, why ......" He was about to walk outside when he got up, and almost fell when he stood up because he was too excited.

"Young Master, he's dead! Until he died, he didn't say who was behind it, and he didn't say why he poisoned the master. But after he died, I found a lot of gold and silver in his room, and I think it was probably because of greed! Steward Qi said.

"Ma Jie? How is it possible to poison your grandfather for money? No way! I don't believe it. Cui Lingyun fell into a state of madness, and his eyes were red.

Just when Cui Yuanfan and Steward Qi were about to say something, a crisp voice sounded in the room with a bit of spiritual power, making people listen like a clear spring flowing into their hearts, and Cui Yuanfan gradually woke up in this voice.

"Lingyun! People can't be resurrected after death, and if there are suspicious points, they can be checked again in the future, the most important thing now is that tomorrow is your grandfather's birthday banquet, and the old lady Cui is not suitable for participating in this state now. But there are so many people from all walks of life outside......" Shen Muwan raised his hand and pressed it on Cui Lingyun's shoulder, calming him down, while looking at Old Lady Cui with a question in his eyes.

Cui Yuanfan looked at Shen Muwan with appreciation, "You are worthy of being the master of the first peak of the Xuanji Sect, you can always focus on the overall situation, having you by Xiaoyun's side is a blessing for this kid, since the old man is planning to hold this birthday banquet, he is already ready."

It's just that the old man is going to do some things tomorrow with his current body is a little powerless, originally thinking that Xiao Yun would invite his master Liu Feng to help the old man, but he didn't expect him to invite Shen Feng to come, so he ...... tomorrow"

"If you can help Mrs. Cui, this seat will naturally not let you, but Mrs. Cui forgive me for a lot of trouble, do you really want to take that kind of medicine?" Shen Muwan's face was a little gloomy, and her eyes seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts.

Cui Yuanfan's eyes suddenly sharpened, "What does Lord Shen Feng know?" ”
