On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

While crying, Nanny Wu recounted the story of Madam Mu's death.

"The lady screamed in her sleep, frowned and struggled, as if in great pain. The old servant hurried to wake her up, but she kept mumbling, sometimes asking for a marriage, sometimes asking for mercy."

As Madam Wu spoke, a look of horror appeared on her face: "I was terrified at the time. Madam looked like..."

Mrs. Cao was a little nervous, but she was also very curious: "What does it look like?"

Nanny Wu swallowed her saliva: "It sounds like the Madam is talking to... to the evil ghost who is asking for her life."

Mrs. Cao's heart tightened, she clutched the handkerchief tightly and glanced at Yan Ruyu.

Yan Ruyu frowned slightly. She didn't believe in the stories of gods and ghosts. However, if Madam Mu's situation was really as Nanny Wu said, it was indeed strange.

First of all, he shouldn't have died, but he did. Secondly, he behaved so strangely before his death.

The first lady asked, "What happened next?"

Nanny Wu continued, "Later, I was so frightened that I tried to wake up the lady, but she kept her eyes shut and refused to wake up. Her hands and feet were still flailing around. I couldn't handle her alone, so I called Cuizhi, the maid, to come over as well."

"The old servant and Cuizhi held the lady down together, fearing that she would hurt herself. After about a quarter of an hour, the lady slowly woke up."

"But after she woke up, her eyes were filled with fear, her lips were trembling, and she tightly grasped the old slave's hand, as if she had experienced something terrible."

"Madam told me that she didn't want to die. She still had Ming Ge'er to take care of. It was not worth exchanging her life for marriage. Before she finished her words, Madam..."

Nanny Wu couldn't help crying again, she was filled with grief: "Since Madam got married, I have been with her. Madam has always been kind and treated me very well. My family also took good care of me. I have long regarded Madam as my own family member and wanted to serve her for the rest of my life..."

Madam Cao and the first lady looked at each other, and the first lady asked, "What does it mean to exchange your life for marriage?"

Madam Wu shook her head: "This old servant doesn't understand either. I just wrote down the situation at that time to avoid any omissions. What if it is useful?"

"Even if it's useless, it's Madam's last words."

The eldest lady quietly pulled Yan Ruyu's sleeve and signaled with her eyes.

Yan Ruyu knew that the eldest lady was thinking of Shenyuan Temple.

So does she.

What's more, Mu Baodi had been to Shenyuan Temple. What she was seeking must be marriage, but how could she exchange her life for marriage?

Yan Ruyu also felt confused.

Madam Cao looked around and asked, "Why is Miss Mu not here?"

Nanny Wu was silent for a moment before she said, "Young lady said she was not feeling well and it was too cold here and she couldn't stand it."

Mrs. Cao's face darkened: "This is really outrageous."

Nanny Wu almost cried again: "Madam, you have been managing the family for many years. It is really unfair, but I am just a servant..."

What can she do? She is just a woman.

She cried for Madam Mu, but also for her own future. Madam was gone, so which courtyard would she live in? This was the business of the rear house, and Mu Liangze would not care.

The only one left is the eldest daughter, Mu Baodi.

Mu Baodi has always been at odds with Madam Mu, and since she is close to Madam Mu, how could she not torture her in some way?

Yan Ruyu also understood her concerns, but since this was someone else's family affair, she didn't say much.

Yan Ruyu was still thinking about how to start talking about wanting to see Madam Mu's body, but she had no idea that Huo Changhe had encountered some trouble.

According to what Yan Ruyu said, Huo Changhe wanted to find out more about Madam Mu's death from other sources.

He had never been to the Mu Mansion, but fortunately the place was not big, so he would not get lost.

After passing through a moon gate, there is a garden in front. Looking at the layout, Huo Changhe realized that the backyard should be further in.

He immediately stopped and prepared to change direction.

But after taking a few steps, I heard someone behind me say, "Please stay!"

Huo Changhe heard that the voice belonged to a woman. He didn't want to turn back, so he pretended not to hear it and continued walking forward.

But I heard the footsteps behind me getting faster, and there was a fragrant breeze.

This fragrance... Huo Changhe felt it was a little familiar.

He suddenly remembered that Yan Ruyu had been making perfume for a while, and this was one of the scents she made.

Realizing that this might be the buyer of Yan Ruyu perfume, he stopped subconsciously.

The people behind him caught up and had already circled in front of him.

She was a tall woman, much taller than the average woman, with a particularly long neck. It seemed that she herself cared a lot about her height, and would unconsciously hunch her shoulders, making her look a little hunched.

Her hair was combed neatly, not a woman's hairstyle, but when you look at her face... she doesn't look particularly young, so it just looks out of place.

However, Huo Changhe didn't have the habit of staring at women. He lowered his eyes and asked calmly, "What's the matter, young lady?"

Mu Baodi was surprised and happy, her heart was trembling with excitement. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would hardly have believed it!

The person she had been thinking about day and night was actually right in front of her!

Is this the power of God?

She looked at Huo Changhe's face and couldn't take her eyes off him.

I saw him briefly from a distance that day, but now I see him up close.

The eyebrows, the eyes, the nose, the lips, every one of them made her want to scream and go crazy.

Even the voice is so nice!

"I...you...dare I ask your name?"

Huo Changhe frowned slightly. What's wrong? Who is this person? He asked his name right away.

Shouldn't an unmarried woman be more reserved even if she is older?

The first thing he did was ask him what the foreign man's name was.

Huo Changhe said nothing, just nodded slightly, turned sideways and was about to leave.

How could Mu Baodi let him leave so easily? She stood in front of him again and said, "Sir, don't leave yet. You haven't told me your name yet."

Huo Changhe was feeling a little angry. If it wasn't at someone else's house, he really wouldn't want to endure it.

"Nothing to do with you."

He slammed down those four words coldly and walked away with big strides, thinking that he had to leave quickly. He didn't want to find out how Madam Mu died or how she died as she pleased.

It’s better to go back to Ruyu. It’s safest to be with Ruyu.

Unexpectedly, Mu Baodi not only did not step back, but reached out to grab his sleeve.

"Sir, you..."

Huo Changhe was really annoyed now. This was one of his favorite pieces of clothing. There were flowers embroidered for him by Ruyu on it. Although it was a little ugly, it was embroidered by Ruyu.

How could he want it if he was touched by this woman?

He took a few steps back, glaring.

"What are you doing? Stand back!"

Mu Baodi was also frightened when he shouted at her, but she quickly retreated out of fear.

This man looks so good even when he’s angry!

The man sent by God is indeed the best.

She took a step forward with a shy smile on her face: "Why should I step back? You were given to me by God, so I must hold on tightly."

"Sir, we are destined to be together by the gods."

Huo Changhe's mind was filled with a sentence that Myna once said: Stupidity is a disease and must be treated.
