The legitimate daughter returns, and the princess goes crazy

Mu Yan raised her eyes and looked at Qi Ning, "How did you get these two things?"

Qi Ning raised his head suddenly.

Correct!

This one sentence woke the dreamer up. She realized that the powder and pearl necklace were not bought by herself, but given to her by others.

"It's Mu Wan. These two things were given to me by the third young lady of the Mu family."

Mu Wan, it really is related to her!

"It's still related to the Mu family."

Duke Qi snorted coldly. After hearing that it was someone from the Mu family again, the coldness in his eyes deepened.

Could it be that the people from the Mu family are determined to kill my son?

Mo Yuche also said after hearing this, "If that's the case, then let's bring the Third Miss of the Mu family here to ask her about it."

Mo Xingchen's eyes twitched and his expression was complicated.

When Zhou Zheng heard the order, he quickly stood up and took his people out, not daring to delay for a moment.

"Let me go. I am the county lord. How can I allow you to be so presumptuous?"

After a while, Mu Wan was brought in by the yamen runners. It seemed that Zhou Zheng did not give her a good look. After all, Mu Wan was very likely related to the death of Young Master Qi. How could a mere county lady compare with the Duke of Qi who had done him a favor?

Mu Wan looked around and finally her eyes fell on Mo Xingchen.

Perhaps it was because her eyes were too hot, Mo Xingchen felt her gaze, met her gaze immediately, and gave her a stern warning.

Of course Mu Wan knew what this warning meant?

Although the eye contact between the two was brief, Mu Yan still caught it.

Only then did Mu Wan realize that Mu Yan was also here. She was already upset about Mu Yan hitting her today, and now she was even more unhappy with her.

When Mu Yan saw Mu Wan's pale and blue face, a meaningful smile appeared on her lips. This expression of watching a good show hurt Mu Wan. She didn't care about maintaining her image as a lady and rolled her eyes at Mu Yan in public.

But this roll of eyes turned into a provocation in Qi Ning's eyes. Seeing Mu Wan being so arrogant, Qi Ning could hardly contain his hatred. He didn't care about his own identity, rushed to Mu Wan and raised his hand.

Snapped--

Snapped--

He slapped her twice in the face, "Mu Wan, I didn't despise your status as a concubine and treated you as a friend, but you are so vicious that you went to such great lengths to kill my brother."

At this moment, she wished she could kill Mu Wan. Not only did she kill her brother, but she also just suffered such a great injustice in public. She could not swallow this humiliation no matter what.

Mu Wan was a little confused by the two slaps, and it took her a while to react, "Princess Qi Ning, I don't know what you are talking about. Wasn't Young Master Qi beaten to death by Mu Zhao? What does it have to do with me?"

"Okay, okay, okay!" Qi Ning was so angry that he laughed.

She grabbed Mu Wan's hair, then threw her hard and threw her in front of the pearl necklace.

"My brother was bitten to death by a golden fox snake because of the scented powder you gave me. I was wrongly accused because of this red string soaked in sulfur. The scented powder and this string were both given by you. Are you still saying that you have nothing to do with it?"

Mu Yan was confused after hearing this. She had done it so secretly, how did they know about it? She quickly opened her mouth to defend herself.

"Princess, don't listen to hearsay."

Qi Ning snorted coldly, "Others, this is what your own sister said, and there is also an experienced coroner from the Dali Temple to testify."

Hearing that this matter was related to Mu Yan, Mu Wan clenched her fists in hatred and said resentfully.

"Big sister, why do you want to hurt me like this? I know you are unhappy that my sister was named the county lady, but there is no need for you to make up such a false lie to frame me."

Mu Yan sneered in her heart, staring at the embarrassed Mu Wan and slowly said, "I framed you? As the eldest daughter of the Mu family, why would I frame a bastard sister who is not presentable? Moreover, a mere county lady is not worthy of my displeasure. Besides, there is a coroner to testify in this matter, and it is not something I can assert alone."

A concubine's daughter? A mere county lady?

These words were sarcastic and had deep meanings, and Mu Wan's face turned the color of liver.

Mu Yan's disdainful expression further hit her little bit of self-esteem. She gritted her teeth and decided to never admit it.

"I was indeed the one who gave the powder and the pearl necklace. I just thought the Impatiens powder smelled good, so I gave it to the princess. How would I know about its efficacy and origin? As for why the red string of the pearl necklace was stained with sulfur, I have no idea. Maybe, maybe you accidentally stained it somewhere."

Qi Ning felt a tightness in her chest and trembled with anger. "You, you bitch, are you still talking nonsense here? Even if you don't know about the red string, don't you know a lot about Impatiens? It was you who told me that Impatiens usually grows deep in the river and that it can be made into fragrant powder to help calm the mind. You went down to the river to pick them just for me. I was very touched at the time and took you as a true friend. I didn't expect this was all a conspiracy."

The more she spoke, the angrier she became. She raised her foot and wanted to kick Mu Wan.

Mu Yan sneered, "It turns out that the third sister is really loyal to Princess Qi Ning. She is willing to go to the river to pick the fruits herself. But I remember that the third sister couldn't swim since she was a child, right?"

Her words made it seem as if Mu Wan was a servant trying to please her master. Mu Wan was so angry that she almost fainted. She blurted out, "I can't swim, so how can I go into the water to pick Impatiens? I didn't say such a thing. I'm afraid the princess remembered it wrongly."

Mo Xingchen quickly stood up and coughed lightly, but he still didn't have time to stop Mu Wan from speaking.

The more you talk, the more mistakes you make. He was afraid that Mu Wan, this idiot, would say something unfavorable again, so he quickly stepped forward to speak: "As the presiding judge of this case, I would like to ask you now, was this your own doing, or was it directed by someone else?"

Instigated by others?

Mu Wan regained some of her sanity after hearing Mo Xingchen speak, and quickly tried to unravel his words to find the key points.

Correct!

When Zhou Zheng brought her here just now, she heard the conversation between the yamen runners. The dead masked man...

"Even if it's as you said, then the whole thing is just a coincidence. I just heard from the yamen runner that an assassin wanted to destroy the young master's body. I'm afraid this person is the real murderer. Why not catch that person and ask him about it?"

Mo Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this woman was not so stupid that she could follow what he said.

"In that case, please ask the emperor to bring the masked man up."

Mo Yuche's face was gloomy. He didn't know what Mo Xingchen was up to. The masked man had been dead for a long time, so why did he bring his body up here?

Although he was confused, he still gave Han Feng a look.

Han Feng was extremely efficient and brought in the masked man's body in less than a minute.

Mo Xingchen looked confident, "The corpse can speak. Please ask the coroner to check this person up and down to see if there are any clues or things left that can prove the murderer."

Mu Yan also followed Mo Xingchen's thoughts and looked at the deceased, and suddenly her almond-shaped eyes widened.

That tattoo on the back of the masked man's neck!
