Mu Luan got into bed in a daze and slept until almost evening.

The lights were on in the house, the sound of rain could be clearly heard, and it was foggy outside the floor-to-ceiling windows. Water vapor rushed in through the gaps that were never closed tightly, bringing a cool breeze.

"It's raining?"

Mu Luan listened to the sound of rain pouring into her ears, lifted the soft quilt and lay down on the bed.

Her snow-black hair fell slowly as she stood up, ironing her exquisite figure.

Mu Luan raised her hand to tuck the loose hair behind her ear and called softly, "Yin Xin."

After shouting twice but no one came, Mu Luan frowned and gave up. The next moment, she heard hurried footsteps in the rain.

Then Yin Xin hurriedly ran into the house.

She was dusty and felt a chill, so Mu Luan unconsciously raised her hands and hugged her arms.

Seeing this, Yin Xin hurriedly picked up the robe beside her and put it on Mu Luan, and said anxiously in her tone: "Miss, put on the robe quickly, be careful not to catch a cold."

Mu Luan noticed that Yin Xin's dress was loose and baggy, as if she had just changed her clothes.

She put on her clothes obediently and comforted the anxious Yin Xin, saying, "It's nothing. I just got up."

Yin Xin helped her young lady put on her clothes, then sighed heavily and complained, "It's all that troublesome woman's fault."

Mu Luan asked casually: "Who?"

"That's Qiao Yiliu, Miss Qiao."

Mu Luan blinked and remembered the woman he met in front of the mansion today.

I've already reminded her today, is it possible that she still has evil intentions?

Yin Xin said this and went to the outer room to get a hand warmer and placed it between Mu Luan's hands.

She continued, "Miss, you don't know that Qiao Yiliu was kneeling outside the mansion gate in the rain and couldn't get up. The general and the young master saw her when they came back. She was already dying. I happened to be passing by the front yard and was called to help, so I came back late."

"Kneeling in front of the gate?"

Mu Luan's eyes turned cold. It was no wonder that she thought too much. Qiao Yiliu was not such a simple person in her previous life.

She had a grudge against her, and her first reaction was to find her behavior suspicious.

But this scene did not happen in the previous life, so Mu Luan couldn't guess what she wanted to do?

So she immediately called Yinxin to change clothes, and she wanted to go to the front yard to take a look.

When Mu Luan arrived at the front yard corridor, he saw a group of people coming towards the backyard.

Seeing his father and elder brother walking in front of him soaking wet, Mu Luan was startled and hurriedly asked, "Father, elder brother, why are you so wet?"

When Mu Sinian saw the pretty girl, his tiger eyes softened instantly, and he waved his hand generously, "It's okay, I just came back from the Ministry of Justice, and it started to rain heavily on the way. I was almost home, so I didn't find a place to hide from the rain."

Madam Mu glared at Mu Sinian and said angrily, "With a father like you, you don't hide from the rain and you don't let your son hide from the rain either."

Mu Sinian said helplessly, "It's just a little rain, just treat it as a way to keep fit."

Mu Luan curled the corners of her mouth and looked at the water droplets flowing down their bodies with a dry laugh.

It was as if they had just been fished out of the water, and not a single corner of the clothes was dry.

This drizzle is a bit heavy.

Mu Luan quickly said, "The weather is cold, Dad and Big Brother, go change into dry clothes."

Madam Mu did not say anything else and urged the two to hurry up.

Mu Luoheng looked at Mu Luan and chuckled. He wanted to reach out and touch her head, but stopped himself to avoid passing the cold to her.

"It's cold outside, go into the inner room with your mother."

Although he was soaking wet, he did not look embarrassed at all, and there was a gentle look between his brows.

Mu Luan agreed, took A Niang's arm, and urged, "I know, go quickly, big brother."

After the two left, Mu Luan accompanied A Niang to the kitchen.

Mother was still worried that father and eldest brother would catch a cold, so she planned to prepare two bowls of ginger soup to warm them up.

As Mu Luan walked, she casually asked, "Mother, I just heard from Yin Xin that Qiao Yiliu fainted in front of the mansion gate?"

Madam Mu gently stroked the back of her daughter's tender hand and sighed, "Yes, this child is really pitiful, having such parents and a brother."

Hearing A Niang's pitying tone, Mu Luan had a bad feeling in her heart and quickly stopped talking, "A Niang, we are not living Bodhisattvas who are compassionate, nor are we saints who can forgive everything.

Jiang Yanyun wants to put the Mu family to death. This is an indisputable fact. Qiao Yiliu cannot stay in the general's mansion."

Her tone was very firm, but Madam Mu was a little surprised. She stopped and tilted her head to look at her, "How did Yaoer know this?"

A hint of mischief flashed across Mu Luan's eyes, and she said calmly, "Today, the young master of the Qiao family made quite a commotion in front of the mansion gate. Many servants in the mansion saw it, and even Yin Xin knew about it. Do you think your daughter would not know about it?"

Madam Mu lowered her eyes slightly, then raised them again and said gently, "Don't worry, your father and I have discussed it. When the child recovers from her illness, we will give her some money to live on and let her leave the house. But she is still unconscious. After all, this is a life. If we send her away like this, I'm afraid her life will be in danger."

Mu Luan didn't say anything more. As long as Qiao Yilu didn't stay in the mansion in the end, the disease would be cured.

On the way, Mrs. Mu's legs and feet suddenly felt a little pain. Mu Luan knew it was because of the weather and her mother's old illness had come back again.

So she asked the maid to help A Niang go back to her room to rest, and she went to the kitchen alone to prepare ginger soup.

When Mu Luan prepared the ginger soup and was about to send it to his father and elder brother, he was told by the guards that the two had gone to the study.

So she went straight to the study.

At the door, I inadvertently heard the elder brother's gentle yet serious voice, "I didn't expect this poison to be so powerful that it can kill people silently. It's a pity that we haven't been able to find the source of the poison."

Mu Sinian said in a deep voice: "There are countless people who deal with things from the black market. They have found a good place."

Mu Luoheng said unhappily, "Sooner or later, the Youming Inn will be shut down. It is a filthy and foul place, and I don't know how many people have been killed."

He suddenly changed the subject and said, "Father, after this incident, a lot of mystery has been cleared up. Someone in the court wants to take action against us."

Mu Sinian said: "Father knows that the incident in the suburbs and the death of Qiao Fugui all point to the third prince. It seems that we are blocking the way of some people."

Mu Luoheng was a little puzzled and said, "The Third Prince appears to be noble, but in fact he is corrupt. However, given his cunningness, I don't think he is a match for us."

Mu Sinian's eyes were heavy. "The Third Prince has been punished to guard the imperial mausoleum, and Liu Yiyuan has been sentenced to death. The Mu family has escaped a disaster. No matter what the truth is, we cannot take it lightly."

After a pause, he continued, "Fortunately, Yao'er proposed to provide porridge and shelters for the refugees. This good deed was carried out in the name of the emperor, and the emperor was very pleased. With the third prince's corruption and blasphemy as a foil, the emperor finally stood on our side."

Mu Luoheng thought of the bright woman standing on the high platform outside the city gate that day, and his eyes softened unconsciously.
