It's a woman!

Only women and children would look weird in men's clothing. Women's waists are relatively thin, and men's clothing in the Northern Qi Dynasty was mostly loose.

So even if you wear men's clothing of the same size, it will give people a very inconsistent feeling.

"Dong dong dong."

There was a rapid knock on the door.

"who is it?"

Tang Wen opened the door doubtfully. He had clearly told them not to bother them unless it was something important.

The person who opened the door was the shopkeeper from before. He looked hurried, as if in a hurry. He looked inside the door tentatively and said, "There is a girl named Shi Ying outside the door who is looking for Miss Mu and asked her to return home quickly. She said that a matter of life and death is at stake, so I dare not neglect it and came to inform you right away."

"Shi Ying?"

Because there were some miscellaneous matters to deal with in the mansion, Shi Ying did not come out this time.

Mu Yan and the others hurriedly said goodbye to Tang Wen and the others and walked out the door.

As soon as he stepped out of the door of Huamanlou, he saw Shi Ying running hurriedly to Mu Yan, with tears in her eyes.

"Miss, Master Zhao is in trouble."

There was a buzzing sound in Mu Yan's mind, and the appearance of Mu Zhao before his death in his previous life suddenly appeared in front of her.

"What happened to him? Tell me, tell me quickly." Mu Yan's heart was trembling, and he grabbed Shi Ying's shoulders and asked, tears seemed to well up in his eyes.

"Master Zhao, he killed someone!"

what?

"He beat the young master Qi of the Duke of Qi's mansion to death, and he has now been detained in the Dali Temple."

Is Young Master Qi dead?

The young Master Qi is the only legitimate son that the Duke of Qi had when he was old, and the wife of the Duke of Qi holds him in her heart.

As a result, Young Master Qi was spoiled and became a mess. He was in his twenties, but he didn't do any serious work and spent his days idling around in brothels.

It would be the end of all for this kind of waste to die, but he couldn't die at the hands of Mu Zhao.

The Duke of Qi will never forgive him and will make him pay with his life.

Mu Yan's body trembled, he took a deep breath, and asked, "What's going on? Tell me clearly."

She knew her brother. Although he was usually aggressive, he was not an impulsive person. How could he kill someone this time?

“Miss, I don’t know the details, but when Young Master Zhao and Young Master Qi had a conflict, Third Miss was also present.”

Mu Wan? Why was she here?

"Go back home first!"

"Wow, father, it's all my fault. If I hadn't asked Zhao'er to accompany me to choose a gift for Big Sister today, he wouldn't have met Young Master Qi."

As soon as I stepped into the lobby of the Mu Mansion, I saw Mu Wan kneeling on the ground, crying and narrating the whole incident.

"What was the conflict about? How could such a thing happen?" Mu Jun slammed the table with his hand and asked anxiously. He was completely different from his usual calm appearance. At this moment, he was a father who was anxiously concerned about his child.

"When we met Young Master Qi, we wanted to greet them out of politeness, but we didn't expect Young Master Qi to mock our elder sister behind her back, saying she was an ugly woman with a disfigured face. Mu Zhao got angry and started a fight with him, and then somehow he beat Young Master Qi to death."

Mu Wan's voice was choked with sobs, her face full of regret, her head lowered very low, and a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes from an angle where no one could see.

Hearing this, a strong murderous intent emerged in Mu Yan's black pupils, and her hands under her sleeves clenched into fists. Just from these two sentences, she was sure that this matter must be related to Mu Wan.

She hated herself so much, how could she be so kind as to buy herself a gift, and it was such a coincidence that she met Young Master Qi while choosing a gift.

Besides, she had heard that she had been very close to Young Master Qi's sister, Princess Qi Ning, recently.

Originally, with Qi Ning's status, she disdained to make friends with people like Mu Wan, but after Mu Wan became the county lord, her status rose. Although she embarrassed herself at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, Mu Wan was very good at pleasing her, so she developed some good feelings towards Mu Wan.

So she would never believe that this matter had nothing to do with Mu Wan.

The more Mu Yan thought about it, the angrier he became. His rage kept rising. He instantly rushed forward, raised his foot and kicked her hard on the back of the shoulder.

"what--"

Mu Wan didn't have time to react and fell forward, landing on her face. She immediately felt her entire jaw go numb.

"Who kicked me?" Mu Wan got up and looked back subconsciously, with a fierce look in her eyes.

He finally reacted after seeing that it was Mu Yan, but was frightened by the murderous intent in Mu Yan's eyes. He immediately turned into a watery little white rabbit, and his expression changed like a magic trick.

"what you do!"

Mu Jun stood up suddenly and shouted at Mu Yan.

No matter how much he doted on Mu Yan, he could not tolerate her treating her sisters like this in front of him. After all, family harmony was what he wanted to see most.

"Father, my third sister did something wrong, and I am helping my deceased mother to discipline her."

When Mu Jun heard Mu Yan mention Han Yunyan, his expression immediately relaxed.

"My mother died early. They say that the eldest sister is like a mother. If my third sister does something wrong, I will naturally discipline her. Otherwise, if it gets out, won't people say that our Mu family has no family rules?"

"Big sister, what did I do wrong to deserve your beating?" Mu Wan looked unconvinced.

Mu Yan narrowed her eyes slightly, and her voice was indescribably cold. "Mu Zhao is young and naive. As his sister, you did not stop him in the first place when he got into trouble, and you are to blame for letting him get into such a huge disaster. Tell me, should I hit you?"

Mu Wan was speechless after hearing these words. She wanted to refute but couldn't find a reason. After all, it was she who really took Mu Zhao out that caused the accident. She had no choice but to swallow her anger. Tears kept falling down her face as she looked at Mu Jun for help.

Mu Jun couldn't bear it after all, so he interrupted the two sisters' argument at the right time.

"Okay, okay, now that something serious has happened, you guys shouldn't argue about it. You should think about what to do first. I'll talk to your second uncle first."

Mu Jun waved at the two of them and hurried out.

This matter is of great importance. If it is not handled properly, not only Mu Zhao but the entire Mu family will suffer.

After all, the dead person was the only son of the Duke of Qi, and the Duke of Qi’s wrath was not something the Mu family could bear.

As soon as Mu Jun stepped out of the lobby door, Mu Wan instantly stopped her hypocritical tears and looked at Mu Yan with resentment, which was tinged with a hint of ridicule.

Now that everyone has fallen out, there is no need for her to pretend anymore. Mu Yan made her look so ugly at the Hundred Flowers Banquet again, and she just couldn't swallow this.

Don't you care about Mu Zhao the most? Then I want to see how you can break this situation?

"Big sister, instead of beating me, why don't you think of a way to rescue Mu Zhao?"

Then he changed the subject, covered his mouth and chuckled.
