Dressed as a villain's stepmother, I use spiritual springs to raise cubs

Ao Pingchuan didn't believe it: "Are you sure you read it right this time?"

"From beginning to end, those people's clothes haven't changed." Wu Yue nodded seriously, and then looked at the sacrificial mother-in-law.

The sacrificial mother-in-law pondered for a long time, and then frowned.

"Wu Yue is right, the clothes of the two groups of people are the same, the only difference is the military flag of Li State."

Ao Pingchuan was silent.

Xia Bai'an also frowned deeply.

"If you put it this way, the first batch of people who copied the clothes probably knew everything about the frontier. In addition... General Lin died in the frontier without anyone noticing, and another group of people can get the same clothes as Lin Qingya. The military uniforms, could it be that the officers and soldiers in the frontier have problems."

After she finished analyzing, the door behind her was pushed open again.

Mo Che walked in with Mo Xue, and looked at him coldly: "This possibility cannot be ruled out. A few years ago, in order to gather military power, the emperor changed a lot of the layout and personnel in the frontier. These rosters were sent by people from various places. , it is not surprising that it was arranged by someone."

Xia Bai'an looked sideways: "Doesn't the emperor have any means of monitoring the border?"

"The country is not peaceful yet, and there is no threat from other countries for the time being, so the emperor naturally doesn't care about some matters on the frontier."

Mo Che put Mo Xue on the small desk next to him, and asked her to start copying books with a cold face.

Mo Xue was a little aggrieved, and looked at Mo Qian pitifully.

Mo Qian couldn't make a suggestion, so he simply walked to Mo Xue's side: "Father, let me copy with Xueer."

"Concentrate."

Mo Che nodded his head.

Xia Bai'an couldn't help frowning: "You are too strict with the children."

"Let's talk about the business first." Mo Che walked to Xia Bai'an's side and sat down, pinched her chin and looked at the sacrificial mother-in-law.

Although Xia Bai'an was a little dissatisfied, but from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the two children sitting together, so he had to calm down.

Ao Pingchuan watched everything from the side, and tapped the table anxiously.

The atmosphere in the room was a bit eerie.

In the end, the sacrificial mother-in-law continued: "I don't know how they did it, but when General Lin came to clean up the mess, everyone fled in all directions, leaving only a few of us. General Lin saw that Tuya was bleeding Cheng He kindly brought us back to the land of Li Country."

"In my heart, I thank General Lin for relocating our clansmen, but suddenly one night, a quarrel broke out in General Lin's tent. We wanted to go over and listen, but we were suddenly arrested and thrown into human teeth as slaves. .”

Speaking of this, the sacrificial mother-in-law's arms couldn't help trembling, and she lowered her head, "Fortunately, we all know Li Guo's characters, so we weren't killed directly, or thrown directly into the mass grave."

"Grandma—"

Wu Yue leaned forward with distress, and tightly held both of her mother-in-law's hands.

The mother-in-law forced a smile, waved her hand to Wuyue, and continued: "It's nothing at all. Slaves are the same wherever you go. As long as you swallow your anger, you'll be fine... It's just that I heard that General Lin was wronged. , I wanted to come and testify, and ransomed at Renyazi, but when I returned to Beijing, the refugees rioted, and Renyazi despised me for being old and occupying land, so he threw me away... I thought that I would never be able to do anything in this life Testified to General Lin."

Xia Bai'an couldn't help being moved.

No wonder they were able to find the sacrificial mother-in-law near the outskirts of Beijing.

It turned out that the mother-in-law knew the truth and knew that Lin Qingya was a benefactor, so she came here on purpose.

There is no need to continue to ask about the following things.

A few people let Wu Yue and her mother-in-law chat in the room, and Mo Che took advantage of the situation to put the two children copying books inside, firstly to let them listen to the movement inside, and secondly, to be able to accompany Wuyue.

Ao Pingchuan closed the door, raised his hand and stroked his forehead: "And about the gold mine and the robbers, there is no news from the frontier."

"The frontier is no longer trustworthy, but if you can find gold mines, or those fake troops, you can prove Lin Qingya's innocence."

Xia Bai'an suggested.

Mo Che behind him also nodded, and continued: "I will make arrangements for the forbidden courtyard."

"Thank you."

It was rare for Ao Pingchuan to soften his tone. After nodding, he went to the direction of the guest room and did not talk to the two of them.

Xia Bai'an and Mo Che didn't catch up to make fun of themselves.

It's just that at night, Mo Che suddenly called Wang Mang and Li Fugui to the mansion, and asked them to set up the same table again.

Li Fugui was shocked: "My good guy, who is so capable, he broke off the corners of the table and smashed them into pieces."

Xia Bai'an glanced at Mo Che resentfully, and then thought of the fate of this table, then looked away resentfully, rubbed his nose: "It doesn't matter."

Clearly out of tune.

Mo Che laughed, and coaxed him into the room to rest.

At night, when the two of them were sleeping together, Mo Che asked, "How much money is there in the mansion?"

Xia Bai'an hugged the quilt, and when he heard the word "money", his eyes lit up instantly.

"What do you want to do?"

"If you don't have enough money, I have some here."

"Where did you get your private money?" Xia Bai'an narrowed his eyes slightly, turned over, faced Mo Che, and grabbed his arm, "Tell me, where is the small treasury?"

Mo Che didn't say a word, pretending to sleep.

Instead, Xia Bai'an couldn't fall asleep.

In the early morning of the next day, Mo Che got up first, and while looking at Xia Bai'an who was still deeply asleep, he leaned forward and kissed the side of her face, just when he heard her murmur a few times: "The treasury...private money..."

Mo Che hooked the corners of his lips, reluctantly tore her off his arm, got up, changed his clothes and walked outside.

Outside the door, A Gao has been waiting for a long time.

"it's time."

"Ah."

Mo Che and A Gao exchanged a look, took two steps, and stopped abruptly.

A Gao was puzzled: "Does the master have any orders?"

"The money in the government is not enough."

Mo Che left only these words, turned around and left.

A Gao thought about it, and finally just glanced at the door of the room, but didn't say anything, turned around and disappeared at the back door, no one knew.

And Mo Che called Ao Pingchuan alone: ​​"There are few people in the early morning, so it's suitable for us to meet."

Ao Pingchuan hurriedly got up and hurriedly followed Mo Che to the forbidden courtyard.

When Ao Pingchuan entered and saw Lin Qingya, Mo Che did not go in, but looked at the dean in the corner, and hurriedly bent over: "Sir."

"Don't be in a hurry."

The dean only left these four words, and then walked out slowly holding a scroll.

Mo Che raised his eyebrows and did not speak, but heard the sound of the door being lowered from behind.

Ao Pingchuan seemed to have got the answer, and he walked out with red eyes: "It seems that what the sacrificial mother-in-law said is correct, I will find someone to investigate now."

"Well, leave the forbidden courtyard to me."

After Mo Che finished speaking, Ao Pingchuan left in a hurry.

And when no one knew, Mo Che turned around and walked into Lin Qingya's room, closing the door.

Lin Qingya was lying on the bed, her limbs were firmly bound by iron chains, when she saw Mo Che: "You..."

Mo Che looked coldly: "General Lin, haven't you seen the true face of the Dog Emperor?"
