The legitimate daughter returns, and the princess goes crazy

"What do you want to do?" At this time, Qin Xiaoniang's eyes were full of panic and her voice trembled.

"I want you to tell me, are you the one who has been poisoning Mu Zhao? Did you plan this yourself, or was someone else instructing you?" Mu Yan's voice was cold and unquestionable. She was not questioning, but was questioning because she was sure that this matter must be related to her.

Looking at Mu Yan with shock on her face, she originally thought that Mu Yan would at most come to ask her if there was another mastermind behind the last witchcraft, but she didn't expect that this matter would be discovered by her, even though she had done it very secretly.

"I don't know what the young lady is talking about."

Mu Yan sneered, took a few steps forward, grabbed her jaw, raised his hand and slapped her twice.

"Don't know? I'll let your bastard try out the Chixian poison."

She knew that beating her father's aunt herself would be beneath her dignity, but Mu Zhao was her biological brother. Whenever she thought of the suffering Mu Zhao had endured in his previous life, she wished she could cut Qin Xiaoniang into pieces.

Qin Xiaoniang, who was originally dazed by Mu Yan's two slaps, suddenly woke up.

"Bastard? What bastard? Miss, why don't I understand what you said today?"

Mu Yan narrowed his eyes and looked at her as if she were his prey. Qin Xiaoniang suddenly felt her scalp tingling.

"That teacher has an adopted daughter who is about the same age as Muran. She looks very similar to you, Auntie. You have played the trick of replacing the prince with a cat very well!"

At this moment, Qin Xiaoniang's psychological defenses were completely broken, her whole head buzzed, and her face was full of fear.

No, it's impossible, how could she know.

She did this matter perfectly. Those who knew about it were driven out of the house with various reasons. Even Liu, who had been in charge of the Mu family for many years, was unable to find any clues.

Seeing that Qin Xiaoniang still didn't speak, Mu Yan lost his patience and turned away: "The portrait of the girl is still with me. I will go and let my father take a look."

At this moment, Qin Xiaoniang was anxious. Regardless of the scars on her body, she immediately rolled over from the bed, knelt at Mu Yan's feet and trembled, hugging her legs with both hands: "Miss, I will tell you everything."

Qin Xiaoniang didn't care about anything else at this moment. If Mu Jun knew about her correspondence with Qingyi, Qingyi was the name of the teacher, then the worst that could happen was death. But if this matter got out, then not only she would die, but also Muran. Although Muran was not her biological son, she had raised him for so many years and had long regarded him as her own son.

Even her family members might be in danger of losing their lives given Mu Jun's personality.

How could the head of the family tolerate being deceived like this?

Originally, Mu Yan was not sure when he saw the portrait of the little girl. He just wanted to trick Qin Xiaoniang, but seeing her expression, he guessed it was right.

Back then, Qin Xiaoniang gave birth to a daughter instead of a son. However, she was not favored in the mansion. In order to gain a foothold in the Mu family, she asked her mother to find a newborn boy from outside and swap the boy with her own daughter.

Qin Xiaoniang sighed, a look of regret on her face: "The Madam treated me very well back then, and even made me her concubine after she became pregnant with the young master. I shouldn't have treated the young master like this, but I was coerced and had no choice."

Being coerced, by whom? Could it be Liu Wenmei?

Mu Yan's eyes were dark, with a hint of murderous intent flashing in them, and her tone left no room for doubt.

"Say, who is it?"

"It was Aunt Liu. One time, she saw the letters between Qingyi and I, so she used this to threaten me to do things for her. Not only did she poison the eldest young master, she was also the mastermind behind the last witchcraft incident. She was also responsible for the miscarriage of Sun from the second house a few years ago."

Sun had a miscarriage?

Mu Yan still remembered this incident. It happened about a year before Mu Yan went to the border. At that time, Sun Moyu was about three months pregnant and the fetus was very stable. The court doctor diagnosed that it was most likely a boy. At that time, Sun went out for a stroll every day to show off, but after a while she had a miscarriage. At that time, the court doctor said that it was caused by Sun's excessive fatigue in those days, and there was no evidence that it was man-made.

Seeing the doubt on Mu Yan's face, Qin Xiaoniang was afraid that Mu Yan would not believe her.

"It was Liu who asked me to prepare a kind of spice. When ordinary women smell it, it has the effect of promoting menstruation and activating blood circulation. However, if pregnant women smell it too much, it will cause miscarriage. She was afraid that Sun Moyu would get suspicious, so she only asked me to prepare a little bit each time, so that even the palace doctor would not find out."

Mu Yan originally thought that the incident was just an accident, but she didn't expect it was done by Liu.

Mu Hong puts all his energy into court and seldom sets foot in the backyard, so currently he has only one daughter, Mu Ning. If the second wife has no son, then after Mu Hong and his wife pass away and Mu Ning gets married, the second wife's property will naturally belong to the first wife. The third wife is also a member of the Mu family in name, but after all, they cannot be considered true members of the Mu family.

So if all of Liu's plans succeed, then the Mu family's property will be in her pocket. What a vicious mind she has.

Qin Xiaoniang hated Liu with a vengeance. She had no intention of harming anyone, but was forced by Liu to become a murderer with blood on her hands.

Every time she woke up in the middle of the night, she blamed herself. She picked up the scissors on the table and stabbed herself in the chest.

When the knife was less than an inch away from her heart, a strong hand grabbed her wrist.

"You do deserve to die, but not now."

Qin Xiaoniang really deserves to die. Whether it is murdering the eldest son or confusing the descendants of the Mu family, each of them is a capital crime. But she still has use for Qin Xiaoniang, so she can't die now.

Mu Yan spoke again, "Since you feel so guilty, I will give you a chance to atone for your sins. After everything is settled, I will give you some money. Take the money and go back to the countryside, and never show up again."

Although Qin Xiaoniang did many evil things, they were not intentional. Since she is repentant, she is willing to give her a chance to live and atone for her sins.

As for the matter of confusing the Mu family's bloodline, she did not intend to make it public, because it not only concerned the reputation of the Mu family, but also her father's face. She knew how much of a blow it would be to her father, who had always been strong-willed, once this matter got out.

Muran will certainly not be able to stay in the Mu family anymore, and the sister she has never met may never be able to return to the Mu family in this lifetime, but she will ensure that she will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life.

After saying everything, Mu Yan walked out of the house without looking back, nor did he glance back at Qin Xiaoniang who was sitting on the ground in a daze.

After so many years of planning, in the end everything is gone.

But she knew clearly that this ending was the best for her.
