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

Governor Cao glanced at Mu Baodi.

"What is this for?"

Mu Liangze sighed: "Your Excellency may not know that my daughter has been under great stress because of so many things that have happened recently."

He pointed his finger, implying: "My mind is a little unclear, but I can't help it. There is a funeral today, and I can't make any mistakes. I am afraid of making a fool of myself, so I want to send her to the farm."

Mu Liangze's face showed pain, and he held his chest and said, "I can't hold on any longer. My wife passed away, my daughter is like this, and my son is still lying in bed. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to be saved. The doctor said there is no serious problem, otherwise I would not be able to survive."

It's quite miserable.

Governor Cao cleared his throat and said in a more gentle tone: "Lord Mu, please accept my condolences and think more positively."

"I am here today because of the death of your maid."

Mu Liangze felt relieved: "Mrs. Wu? She is indeed good. When my wife was alive, she was very important to her and was her housekeeper."

"I have sent someone to notify her family and have given them some funeral expenses. Once the adults have investigated the matter thoroughly, I will hand the body over to them so that they can rest in peace."

Governor Cao waved his hand and said, "No, no, this matter is not that simple."

"Master Mu, let's talk somewhere else, maybe we can go to the yard where the corpse is."

Mu Liangze seemed to have just come back to his senses and nodded, "Yes, sir, this way please."

Governor Cao looked back at Mu Baodi and said, "The eldest lady is coming too."

"But she..."

"It doesn't matter."

Governor Cao didn't say much, but his attitude was firm and could not be questioned.

Helplessly, Mu Liangze had to take things one step at a time.

After taking the person away, Huo Changhe went to see Yan Ruyu.

Yan Ruyu went with him to Mu Baodi's yard. At this time, the yard and the house were empty, with no one there.

They both went into the house and closed the door.

Yan Ruyu looked around. She had been here before, and although she had seen it through the window, she could still get a general idea of ​​the situation.

The places to put valuable things are nothing more than dressing tables, bookshelves and wardrobes.

The two of them went their separate ways. Yan Ruyu was looking at the wardrobe when Huo Changhe said, "Yu'er, come and take a look."

There is a secret compartment on the bookshelf, and in the compartment there is a small wooden box, the size of a palm. When you open it, there is a white dried flower inside.

Five petals, a light yellow core, and a light fluffy substance on the petals, which looks like a layer of white frost from a distance.

"That should be it," Yan Ruyu picked it up carefully and looked at it. "There are three in total. The first one made Madam Mu sick, the second one killed her, and there is one left."

He put the flowers back and closed the box: "This is the evidence."

But it can only be regarded as one of the evidences.

Yan Ruyu looked for other things and found a letter on the desk.

It was written on the envelope: From the Prince of Zhennan himself.

She handed the letter to Huo Changhe: "Here, it's for you."

Huo Changhe: "..."

What's wrong with that woman!

Why do you always keep causing him all kinds of unimaginable troubles?

Just when I had coaxed Yan Ruyu, another trouble came up.

It’s really endless.

Huo Changhe raised his hand to throw the letter into the brazier, but was stopped by Yan Ruyu.

"Don't burn it in a hurry. What if there is some important information? Maybe she thought she was going to be taken away and wrote something in it."

"Look, you look, I won't look."

Yan Ruyu said this while turning her back.

Huo Changhe: "..."

Ah, it’s so worrying!

So annoying!

……

The troublemaker Mu Baodi was taken to the yard where Nanny Wu kept the corpse.

Governor Cao looked at the autopsy report and then at Mu Baodi.

"Miss Mu, if you can hear me clearly and are willing to cooperate, just nod your head."

Mu Baodi was also wavering.

She didn't know why Governor Cao was looking for her or what he knew, but she knew that this was a turning point.

If she doesn't cooperate, it will be confirmed that she is mentally ill, and she will be at the mercy of Mu Liangze from now on, and no one will listen to her anymore - even if she is telling the truth.

She shuddered at the thought of being sent back to the Yuan family, being abused, and having to raise someone else's child, trapped in the Yuan family's backyard for the rest of her life.

She had clearly received guidance from the gods and clearly had other better opportunities.

Thinking of this, Mu Baodi also took the risk and nodded heavily.

She should take care of the present and get rid of the Yuan family first. If Governor Cao has evidence in his hands, then it will not be too late for her to play dumb.

When Governor Cao saw her nod, he waved his hand and asked his men to come forward, bring her in front of him, and remove the gag.

Mu Liangze watched from the side, his heart slowly tightening.

Governor Cao asked, "Miss Mu, where were you when Mrs. Wu died?"

"Your Excellency, I just left the mourning hall not long ago. I heard from several maids that they saw Mrs. Wu dead by the bamboo forest, so I took the maids to see her."

"That's right," Governor Cao asked again, "then do you know why she died?"

Mu Baodi thought about it and shook her head: "I don't know."

Governor Cao smiled lightly, but the smile did not reach his eyes: "Miss Mu, you said you didn't know, then how come some people said that you said at the time that she died because someone was asking for her life?"

Mu Baodi thought to herself, which servant is so mean?

"Don't blame me, sir. I was afraid too. I've always been timid and I've never seen a dead person before. I was scared for a moment. Besides, the way she died was really scary. I might have said it all at once, but I forgot it later."

When Governor Cao saw that she was tall and strong, yet pretended to be timid and weak, he felt uncomfortable with her attitude.

He frowned slightly, then returned to normal.

"That makes sense," Governor Cao asked again, "then what do you mean by taking my life?"

"You won't forget this, will you?"

"I..." Mu Baodi sighed, "I also heard it from Mrs. Wu herself. She said before that she had talked to the monk who came to the mansion to pray for Liu... my stepmother's soul, saying that she wanted to take my life and was afraid. I heard it at the time and remembered it."

"The next moment, Mrs. Wu also died, so I subconsciously said it was a revenge."

"That's right," Governor Cao nodded.

Mu Liangze said at the right time: "Sir, my daughter is really timid, otherwise how could she be frightened to the point of having brain problems by such a series of events?"

"She also loves to listen to other people's gossip and takes it seriously. Oh, there's nothing you can do about her. Please don't mind it."

Mu Baodi glared at him. It turned out that she was so unbearable in his heart. Regardless of whether it was true or not, saying so in front of outsiders was really disrespectful to her.

Governor Cao smiled and said, "From what I have seen, Miss Mu speaks clearly and thinks normally. She doesn't look like she has a brain problem."

"Ms. Mu, I heard that you, your stepmother, and your brother don't have a good relationship. Is that true?"

Mu Baodi lowered her eyes, a scornful smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and then disappeared in a flash.

"Sir, I think that anyone who can have a good relationship with his stepmother is a devil."
