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

Seeing that they were all staring at him expectantly, Qian Mingshu lifted his chin proudly.

"Master Qi, I heard that you have been in the Prime Minister's Mansion for many years, who is the servant who is closer to you?"

"Butler Xu." Qi Ming said bluntly.

"Then do you know where Steward Xu's family members are, how many are his family members, and where are they?"

"..."

Qi Ming frowned deeply, and finally shook his head.

Only then did Qian Mingshu grin, and asked again: "The lives of domestic servants are cheap. If some of these bones are domestic servants, the master's family is also dead. Only relatives will notice their life and death."

"Then ask their family members, won't you know if they are dead or not?" Mo Qian replied.

Qian Mingshu shook his head: "Their family members may all be dead."

Mo Qian opened his eyes wide.

Xia Bai'an also didn't believe it: "There is no proof, how can you make such an assertion?"

"Because you said that they were all murdered, their bones were buried deep in the ground, and there were organs in the tunnels below. If such organs are exhausted, it can be seen that these people have touched the bottom line of the murderer and must be completely eradicated. If my father is asked to do it For this matter, he will only say..."

"When weeds are cut, the roots must be removed, and the roots must be removed to leave soil, and the soil must be ground into powder and thrown into the sea, so that secrets will not go with the wind."

It seems that there is so much truth.

Xia Bai'an gradually calmed down, while Qi Ming's expression was solemn: "It seems that this matter is indeed too strange, I have to go back and let the Prime Minister ask the Xia family..."

"No."

Mo Che put down his glass and looked at him coldly, "Master Qi hasn't investigated the case before?"

Qi Ming was confused: "What do you mean?"

Xia Bai'an sighed: "The Xia family and the servants of the Xia family died here. If it is true as Qian Lao San guessed, all the family members of the servants have been wiped out, so this matter can become a secret. Then, who is the most suspected person now? "

"..." Qi Ming fell into deep thought.

Qian Mingshu couldn't stand it anymore, and slapped the table: "The people who are still alive in the Xia family must be suspects!"

"Ah?" Qi Ming opened his eyes wide.

"Stupid, if all the family members of the deceased were wiped out and kept secrets for more than ten years, why are there only a few members left in the Xia family? It just so happens that so many things happened in the Xia family, and the remaining Xia family members did not report to the officials. It must be suspected of hiding this matter."

After Mo Qian finished explaining, he also sighed.

After hearing this, Qi Ming finally understood, and bowed his hand to Mo Qian respectfully.

"Young master is smart, I admire you."

"...You're welcome." Mo Qian looked at the adult saluting to him in embarrassment, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Seeing him, Xia Bai'an was still a little embarrassed, and reminded him: "When people praise you, they don't reply with these four words."

Mo Qian was dumbfounded for a moment, and bowed his hands respectfully to Qi Ming: "Thank you for the compliment."

Only then did Xia Bai'an nod his head.

And Mo Che watched from the side, seeing that Mo Qian now had a childlike shyness and smile on his face, and took another deep look at Xia Bai'an.

"You taught Qian'er very well."

Xia Bai'an almost spit out the tea in his mouth, why did he tease her?

But when she saw that Mo Che was serious, she had no choice but to respond: "Thank you for the compliment, I will try harder next time."

"En." Mo Che nodded slightly.

Ok?

Uh, what, what does Mo Che mean by this?

Xia Bai'an was puzzled, shook his head again and again, and continued to drink tea.

"So, I should temporarily hide this matter from the Xia family and investigate it secretly." Qi Ming said seriously.

"Well, and this matter, Madam cannot be known."

Mo Che nodded.

Qi Ming only gave a few simple instructions, and was about to leave, but he remembered something and turned back.

Xia Bai'an asked, "Did something fall?"

"I just think that Dr. Xia is always so reckless in doing things. I want to tell Mr. Captain, it's better not to let you take risks alone, so as to avoid accidents."

"..."

Why is there always someone trying to control me.

Xia Bai'an curled his lips impatiently.

But Mo Che said: "She and I both know how to measure."

"This subordinate will leave." Qi Ming walked away through the night.

The craftsmen came in with hot meals, and soon filled the whole table.

Wang Mang saw that Mo Che and Xia Bai'an had returned to their normal appearance, and quietly moved his eyes away.

While everyone was having a lively meal, Xia Bai'an and Mo Che were sitting in the corner eating. Mo Che took a look at the simple dishes and put down his chopsticks.

Xia Bai'an raised his eyebrows: "Why don't you eat?"

"no appetite."

Seeing his uneasy expression, Xia Bai'an knew that this young master had committed a temper again, so he also put down the bowl and chopsticks: "I'll go get you some food."

"No need." Mo Che grabbed her and whispered, "I'll give you another meal later."

"That's a good relationship." Xia Bai'an hurriedly sat back, she should eat and drink, anyway, she was tired from climbing up and down today, so it's no problem to eat two meals.

Qian Mingshu leaned over eagerly: "Master, can I rub some too?"

As an apprentice, he was really the slightest blessing of an apprentice.

"Yes." Mo Che looked at him with a smile, "Change the title first."

"What's your name?"

"Call her Shi Niang instead," Mo Che said.

"Ah--" Xia Bai'an was choked up, grabbed the teacup and gulped down two sips of water, "Don't change it, it won't kill me."

Qian Mingshu's face was as ugly as if he had eaten a fly.

Mo Che looked coldly: "Then don't eat it."

"..." If you don't eat, you don't eat!

Qian Mingshu's eyes widened, he ate happily, and didn't think about the next meal at all.

Xia Bai'an watched with joy, but privately made a gesture with Qian Mingshu - I'll bring it to you later.

Only then did Qian Mingshu give a thumbs up.

Mo Che naturally took in the movements of the two of them, and Mo Qian also saw it. Sitting on the other side of Mo Che, he couldn't help but ask, "The relationship between Mother and Third Uncle is very strange."

"It's not surprising, it's also heartless."

Mo Qian opened his mouth, but finally held back his complaints.

When he was full of wine and food, Mo Che secretly went to the kitchen to cook, and made a small stove for Xia Bai'an and Mo Qian. Xia Bai'an didn't forget Qian Mingshu, and secretly stuffed a pig's trotter into his arms, and was caught by Mo Che. .

"Packed in a food box with soup."

Xia Bai'an was taken aback, and changed the soup bowl with a smile: "Do you still care about Qian Laosan's apprentice?"

"I have to bother him to take care of the child. I still understand this kind of favor." Seeing that she had packed it, Mo Che gave the food box to Mo Qian. "Your shoulder still hurts, so don't touch it."

Mo Qian hurried away with the food box in his arms.

Xia Bai'an rubbed his aching shoulder, it was okay if he didn't mention it, but when he mentioned it, he got angry, and broke away from Mo Che sullenly and walked outside.

Mo Che, seeing the displeasure in her eyes, began to think seriously.

It's not that Xia Bai'an has no fluctuations in feelings.

It's just that her mood fluctuates, and even she herself can't find the reason.

Mo Che smiled helplessly, followed her closely, followed her all the way to the bedroom, and was immediately stopped outside the screen: "Go to sleep with Qian'er, what are you doing here?"

"We were originally husband and wife."

"You're a hooligan."

"A husband and wife is also called hooliganism?" Mo Che asked her calmly instead, "I remember when I was lying on the bed before, you gave me medicine and massage every time, and you touched my whole body, isn't it considered hooliganism?"
