The legitimate daughter returns, and the princess goes crazy

Wang Xiao seemed to have guessed what Mu Yan was thinking and said, "The jade pendant of that woman is still with me."

Mu Yan frowned slightly: "Why is that jade pendant on you? Wasn't it just taken away as evidence?"

"That jade pendant is fake. The real one is still with me."

It turned out that Wang Xiao had a trick up her sleeve. She was afraid that the woman would turn against her and not help her save her daughter, so she kept the jade pendant as evidence and replaced it with a fake jade pendant and put it on Mu Yan. Although the two jade pendants looked exactly the same, the materials of the jade were very different.

Hearing this, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Mu Yan's frown finally relaxed, but the most important thing now was to know who the woman who framed her was. If she didn't find out who she was, she would definitely stab her in the back. It was hard to guard against: "How did you contact that woman?"

Wang Xiao shook his head: "I can't get in touch with her. She always comes to see me. When she needs to see me for something, she will put a note in the crack of the stone steps at the back door of Hua Man Lou, which will write the time and place of the meeting."

"When you talked to her, did this woman act like she knew me very well?"

She really couldn't think of who that woman was. Apart from Mu Xue, who else knew that she was the person in power behind Hua Manlou, or was it someone inside Hua Manlou who leaked the information?

Also, besides knowing that she was the person in charge of Hua Manlou, would that person know anything else? If people knew that she was the one who was killed by Fengdu Thirteen, then this person must not be kept.

Wang Xiao quickly recalled it in his mind and said seriously, "I don't know whether she knows you or not, but whenever that woman mentions you, she gnashes her teeth."

"And what else does that woman know?"

"He probably doesn't know your other identities, and I haven't revealed them to her." Wang Xiao was smart and knew what Mu Yan was worried about. He then promised solemnly, "Don't worry, as long as you can rescue my daughter, I promise to forget everything I've seen and heard here, and I won't say a word to anyone."

Then, fearing that Mu Yan might not believe him, he paused and raised his voice, "If you don't believe me, I can poison myself to become mute."

Although he had been in Hua Manlou for a month, he didn't know who the Lord they were talking about was, but he was sure that Mu Yan had another identity.

Mu Yan took a deep breath. He was indeed a ruthless man, but a good father. He did not forget to save his daughter at this time.

But she was not so cruel. After all, Wang Xiao had not done anything murderous or arsonous. He was just a good father who was used by others. Therefore, he did not deserve the death penalty, nor did she want to poison him to make him mute.

"I believe you won't tell anyone about this, but your daughter is very likely in that woman's hands. If time drags on, and the news that I've cleared the suspicion gets out tomorrow, then..."

She didn't say the rest of the words, but everyone knew that once a chess piece was no longer useful, it would only end up being destroyed.

That woman must know that Wang Xiao betrayed her, and his daughter will definitely be killed to silence her.

At this moment, after listening to the analysis anxiously, Bai Lu could no longer suppress her inner anxiety. She really could not accept what kind of danger such a young child would suffer.

Her face was filled with worry and anxiety, and she blurted out, "Oh, please think about it carefully again! Is there really no clue at all? For example, what does the woman look like? Does she have any particularly obvious features or body shape? How can we find her when you don't know anything?"

She stamped her feet as she spoke, as if this could ease the anxiety in her heart.

Wang Xiao was also stunned after hearing this, and realized the seriousness of the matter. His body was shaking violently uncontrollably. He held his head tightly with both hands, trying to recall every detail of his contact with the mysterious woman, but the fragments that flashed through his mind were all messy.

He thought, he thought hard, not wanting to miss even a single detail.

Suddenly he raised his head, and a light flashed in his black pupils.

"Yes, I remember now! Her figure is very similar to yours, but she is shorter than you. If she didn't have a grudge against you, I would have thought that you two were sisters."

sisters!?

Mu Yan's breathing stagnated.

The only sister who is related to her by blood is Mu Wan. Although Mu Xue also has the surname Mu, she is not related to her by blood.

And someone once said that she and Mu Wan had a similar figure and background, except that Mu Wan was shorter than her.

Most importantly, Mu Wan had seen the jade pendant her mother left her.

Oh, right! And the dagger. The pattern on the dagger was Mu Wan's favorite orchid pattern, so she felt a sense of familiarity.

Her eyes flashed, and she immediately had some thoughts in her mind. She first comforted Wang Xiao: "Don't worry, just stay in Hua Man Lou first, I promise to rescue your daughter."

Wang Xiao nodded, with a hint of pleading in his eyes: "Please, as long as you can save my daughter, I, Wang Xiao, will go through fire and water for just one word from you."

"Tang Wen, you keep an eye on him."

"Yes."

Then he said to Bai Lu with an apologetic look: "It seems that your New Year here will end early. I need you to go back to the Mu family now and tell the yamen runners guarding outside these clues, and ask them to pass them on to Shen Wanwei. Then he will clear my name."

Bai Lu smiled slightly and said softly: "In fact, even if you didn't mention this, I was planning to go home with you today." She thought to herself that since she came to Qiyun Pavilion, she had regarded this place as her home.

Tonight she enjoyed a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner with everyone here, and had a successful New Year.

And now, it's time to return to where you belong.

Hearing this, Mu Yan felt a warm feeling in his heart.

"Okay, but you need to go back by yourself. I have something else to do."

"Ah? Where are you going so late, miss?"

"Go to a place you should go." After saying that, he still worried about Bai Lu's safety and instructed, "Tang Wen, ask someone to send Bai Lu back."

As soon as the words fell, the woman who was originally standing here disappeared in an instant.

-

As soon as Mu Yan left Huamanlou, she flew towards the east. It was almost dawn, and she had to rescue Wang Niannian before that woman got the news.

He didn't stop until he saw a mansion with a golden roof and green stone.

Mu Yan was keenly aware that the mansion was heavily guarded, not only were there a large number of guards patrolling in the open, but there were also many nimble secret guards hiding. She was agile and swift, as if she was floating on the waves like the wind, and in an instant she arrived under the towering walls.

Then, she cleverly used the power of the wall, flew into the air like a bird, and easily crossed the wall and entered the mansion.

Mu Yan had a clear goal, and walked towards the most magnificent house in the center of the mansion without hesitation. However, she did not expect that as soon as she stepped into the house, she would see such an attractive scene.
