The lady is reborn? The crazy villain kisses her forcefully and won't let go!

Chapter 26: The Reappearance of the Black Corpse Pill

His expression suddenly darkened. It would be better to die than to linger on. It was futile.

The shopkeeper prepared the medicine and then remembered a piece of news he had heard today. He also saw the person in front of him staring at the direction where the woman disappeared. He immediately slapped his forehead and said, "Could this young lady be the one who lit the life and death lamp today?"

Jun Zhao's eyes turned, he grabbed the medicine on the table and walked out of the pharmacy without looking back. After a moment, he was completely integrated into the night in his black robe.

The shopkeeper was left rubbing his hands in annoyance, "So that's how it is. If I had known about this, I should have given her a lower price on the contraceptive pills. Maybe we could become a regular customer in the future!"

General, side door.

A carriage slowly stopped at the door, and Mu Luan bent down and got off the carriage.

When they returned to the general's mansion, it was already late. The guards lit lights all the way and safely escorted Mu Luan back to Shaoguang Courtyard.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Yinxin trotting out of the inner room with tears in her eyes.

"Miss, you are finally back!"

Mu Luan felt a little sorry to see her sobbing out of fear.

If she hadn't been in a hurry to go out today and was determined to find something to hold against Qiao Yuanan, she wouldn't have let Yin Xin take her place and stay in the yard obediently.

Mu Luan patted her shoulder and said soothingly, "What's wrong? Did your mother come here today?"

Yinxin nodded, then shook her head, sobbing and unable to speak.

Mu Luan guessed that it was probably because her mother had been here, and the little girl didn't hide it because she was afraid of being punished.

"Don't worry, I sneaked out of the house on my own. I won't let you get beaten up while I'm here."

Seeing that her young lady was still in a bad mood, Yinxin kindly pointed behind her.

Mu Luan turned around in confusion and saw Mu Qingyu leaning against the antique display shelf with his arms folded, looking at her leisurely.

Mu Luan's body froze for a moment, and she pulled the corners of her lips and greeted him dryly, "Second brother is here too."

Mu Qingyu had a stern face and said in a mature manner: "You are quite righteous. You take responsibility for your own actions. You are quite heroic."

Mu Luan took a few steps forward, gently pulled the corner of Mu Qingyu's clothes, and imitated the way he usually acted in front of his mother, saying: "I was wrong, I just came back a little late because I was too playful. Please don't tell my father and mother, I promise there won't be a next time."

In the past, Mu Qingyu would always be soft-hearted and let her get away with it, but this time he still had a stern face.

He brushed her hand away and walked around her, obviously not buying her tricks to please him, but he said, "You still remember to come back. If I hadn't stopped my mother today, you would have been tried in court by now."

Mu Luan walked to the table attentively, picked up the teapot, poured a cup of water, and handed it to Mu Qingyu, "I knew that my second brother was the best. Mother always watched me closely, so I had to sneak out."

Mu Qingyu took the teacup, but didn't drink it. He patted Mu Luan's head rudely and put the teacup on the table.

"Stop talking so smoothly and tell me the truth. Where did you go and what did you do today in this outfit? Otherwise, I will tell my parents."

As he was about to walk out, Mu Luan quickly grabbed him and forced him to sit on a chair.

Seeing how aggressive he looked, she had no choice but to take off her cloak and veil and hand them to Yinxin, letting her leave first.

Second brother must know about her tonight, so Mu Luan simply told him about Qiao Yuanan.

However, the visit to Youming Inn was completely omitted.

After all, she wasn't hurt, and speaking up would only add to her worries.

"What did you say?"

Mu Qingyu slammed the table and said angrily: "Qiao Yuanan wants to harm the general's mansion? I must arrest this bastard and take him to the military camp to give him a good beating.

But this matter is of great importance and should be reported to my father."

Mu Luan disagreed with telling her father about the matter now, and advised: "We don't have any evidence. If Qiao Yuanan denies it to the death, we will end up wrongly accusing him..."

It is also easy to alert the enemy and allow the person behind the scenes to escape.

Qiao Yuanan is definitely just a chess piece. The person playing the chess is in the dark, while they are in the light, so they have to be cautious.

Mu Qingyu hesitated for a while and nodded, "We need to think about this matter carefully."

Mu Luan called Yun He in and asked, "How is the task I asked you to do today?"

Yun He took out a small box from his bosom, and presented it to Mu Luan with both hands, and reported truthfully: "Qiao Yuanan was locked up in a secret room by my subordinates. This was found on him. It should be something that the man in black gave him."

Mu Luan took the box and was about to open it when Mu Qingyu took it away, "Be careful, I'll open it."

Mu Qingyu has been following Mu Sinian and Mu Luoheng in the military camp since he was a child. Although he usually looks unreliable, he is actually very careful and cautious.

Mu Luan didn't refuse and took a few steps back.

Mu Qingyu placed the box on the table and threw a copper coin over it. The box opened with a click and a pill rolled out.

After making sure there was no danger, Mu Qingyu stepped forward to check, "It's just a pill. Did Qiao Yuanan go to the gambling house just to get the pill?"

Mu Luan was also a little confused and always felt that something was wrong.

Is there something wrong with this pill?

Mu Luan took out a handkerchief, wrapped the black pill in it and took a closer look. "Why does it look familiar?"

Mu Qingyu leaned forward and smelled it, but found nothing unusual.

But at this moment, a bloody scene suddenly flashed through Mu Luan's mind, and her thoughts seemed to be instantly pulled back to the time when she was still a wandering ghost.

She floated beside Jun Zhao and saw with her own eyes that he put a whole bottle of black pills into the mouth of Cao Mang, the eunuch of the imperial court, and dug out his heart that was covered with white worms.

If you look closely, you will find that there is a white spot on each black corpse pill.

Mu Luan turned the pill and looked at it carefully. There was actually a white spot on the pill.

This medicine is...Black Corpse Pill!

Mu Luan suddenly opened her eyes wide, and the hand holding the handkerchief trembled slightly unconsciously.

How could Qiao Yuanan, a mere commoner, hide such a powerful elixir, and why did he bring it back home?

Mu Luan felt as if she was trapped in a fog, and a hand might appear behind her at any time to push the Mu family into an abyss of no return.

What she could do now was not to tell her second brother about this and not let him take risks.

Fearing that Mu Qingyu might notice something, Mu Luan wrapped the pill tightly with a handkerchief and said casually, "It's just an ordinary pill. Maybe I'm worrying too much."

The clue ended with this pill. The pill was an ordinary pill. Apart from being addicted to gambling, Qiao Yuanan had never committed murder for money or harmed the general's mansion.

Mu Qingyu couldn't help but worry about her sister, wondering if there were any sequelae from that serious illness that caused her to be so worried.

He patted Mu Luan's shoulder gently and said, "Don't worry, Yaoyao. Father, brother and I are here. Nothing will happen to the Mu Mansion. Just relax and don't let your mind wander. I'll ask the kitchen to make you some soothing soup later so you can rest early."
