Rebirth of the Return of Chu

After talking with Gu Qing, Mu Chu secretly planned how to get out of this situation.

At night, thinking about what he had said during the day, he suddenly remembered the purple cloud hairpin his mother had left for him, and asked Xiaotao to find it out of the box.

After groping for a long time with his hands, he didn't find anything unusual. Maybe he was worrying too much. If this thing was the secret key, how could the killer of the Nanxiao royal family not have seen it last time.

Mu Chu was a little tired these days and was lying on the bed in a daze. Xiao Tao came in and called her, "Miss, can I change the medicine for you?"

Mu Chu nodded and put away his messy thoughts.

Xiaotao helped her take off her clothes, changed the bloody bandage, applied medicine skillfully, and re-bandaged the wound, her movements as smooth as flowing water.

Mu Chu teased her: "Xiao Tao, you look like a doctor. It turns out that all your studies were not in vain."

Xiao Tao tilted her head proudly: "Of course, my young lady is a disciple of Taohua Valley, how can I be inferior?"

As he spoke, he went to pick up the gauze that had just been changed. The hairpin covered by the bloody bandage suddenly emitted a faint purple light, which became stronger and stronger, as if it was flowing.

The last time she saw it glow, Mu Chu was assassinated. Xiao Tao felt her hair stand on end for an instant.

Mu Chu was also a little scared. Before he could say anything, he heard Xiao Tao shouting, "Gingxing, Gingxing, go find Master Gu. Something's happened to the young lady."

Ginkgo had just gone to get some hot water when she heard Xiaotao's shout. She immediately ran back, "I'll be there right away."

After a while, Gu Qing hurried over, pushed the door open, and saw that Mu Chu was safe and sound. He took a deep breath and said, "I'm glad you're okay."

Hearing Mu Chu signaling him to look at the hairpin, Gu Qing was a little confused.

The three were studying when Taxue rushed in, his whole body fur standing on end, and he took an attacking stance to block in front of Mu Chu.

Before anyone could react, they saw two white ferrets running in from outside. They were even bigger than the ones they had seen last time in Kongling Mountain.

Gu Qing stood up and waved his arm. A silver needle flew out and a snow ferret fell down. The other one ran towards Mu Chu, jumped over directly on the snow, and after chasing it back and forth for two rounds, he finally grabbed the little snow ferret's neck.

"Taxue, don't bite it to death," Mu Chu exclaimed. Taxue seemed to understand what Mu Chu said. It shook it a few times and put it in Mu Chu's hand reluctantly.

Mu Chu grabbed it and took a look at it. It was somewhat cute and not aggressive. It was trembling a little as it looked at Mu Chu.

"Xiao Tao, go find a cage and lock it up," Gu Qing ordered Xiao Tao.

After Xiao Tao went to find the cage, Mu Chu looked at the one on the ground and asked Gu Qing: "Brother, is that dead?"

"No, the needle was poisonous, it just fainted".

After a while, Xiaotao came in with a cage, and they put both ferrets in the cage.

What was a little strange was that several people waited around the cage for a whole night, but no killer appeared like last time. When the sky was gray and gloomy, Mu Chu couldn't bear it anymore and asked everyone to go to bed first.

After all, there are secret guards guarding outside the door, and ordinary people cannot break in for a while. Besides, it is already daybreak, and the killer should not come.

Unexpectedly, instead of the killer, Mo Yu came. When Mu Chu heard the servant report that Mo Yu came to ask for a meeting, he was a little surprised.

When Ginkgo brought Moyu in, Mu Chu had already asked Xiaotao to tidy up the ferret and change into neat clothes.

When Mo Yu saw Mu Chu, she immediately bowed. Mu Chu asked her, "I wonder what is it that made you come to see me, Miss Mo Yu?"

Then he asked her to sit down.

Mo Yu looked at Xiao Tao and Ginkgo in the room and said nothing.

Mu Chu thought that she must have something private to say, so he told Xiao Tao and Ginkgo to wait outside the door.

After the two of them went down, Mo Yu suddenly spoke, "Miss Qin, I came to disturb you rashly because I want to clarify something. I hope you can give me a clear answer."

Mu Chu looked at her in surprise. He had always thought that she couldn't speak. He felt sorry for her for a long time. Such a good girl turned out to be a mute.

After calming down, he said, "I wonder if there is anything I can do to help you?"

After listening to this, Mo Yu slowly took out a painting from his sleeve pocket. The woman in the painting was Mu Chu's mother. When Mu Chu was a child, he had seen his mother's portrait in his father's study. After his father passed away, Mu Chu kept the portrait.

"What exactly do you want to do?" Mu Chu looked at Mo Yu with some caution.

"Don't worry, Miss Qin. I'm not a bad person. This person is my master. I have been hiding in the capital for many years just to find out about her. She suddenly disappeared many years ago, and we have been looking for her."

"Are you from Jinghua Shuiyue?" Mu Chu asked tentatively.

Mo Yu couldn't hide her surprise on her face: "Yes, I am. Miss Qin really knows her whereabouts?"

"She passed away." Mu Chu said lightly.
