Hearing this, Chang Xiao'e covered her face and coughed twice, the moment she lowered her eyebrows, her thoughts turned, this Young Master Mu smiled like a spring breeze, harmless to humans and animals, but his words were mostly probing, Chang Xiao'e didn't know where she was showing up After much deliberation, I had no choice but to focus on the present first.

After coughing for a long time, Chang Xiao'e took the tea in Suyun's hand and took a sip of it. She spoke in an authentic Beijing accent, "Although Chengxue is from Beijing, she is now the daughter-in-law of the Mu family. The so-called marrying a chicken is easy." Chicken, marry..."

Speaking of this, Chang Xiao'e took a sneak look at Mu Xiang, who just smiled lightly and didn't take it seriously, so Chang Xiao'e went on to say, "And thanks to the care of Mu Xiang on the road, I taught Chengxue a lot of Jiangnan people. Dialect, that's why..."

After Chang Xiaoe finished speaking, she coughed twice again, half leaning on the head of the bed with a cowardly look, but laughed loudly in her heart, not to mention that Chongjin and Chongyu are out-and-out Minjing people, and they have been with them since childhood. Chang Xiaoe, who hangs out with others, is naturally fascinated by it, and has learned a lot of dialects in central Beijing. What's more, Chang Xiaoe traveled all over the country with her father when she was a child.

This young master Mu wants to join her army, dreaming!

"Miss Liu is really smart, you can learn it as soon as you learn it."

Mu Xiang nodded lightly, got up and walked to the window, looked at the sunlight outside and asked again, "Miss Liu must be good at martial arts after being a general, right?"

One word awakened the dreamer, Chang Xiaoe suddenly thought of the family general whom she had never met and the pair of spotless white boots, her eyebrows twitched for no reason, could it be that the man stole the gold and silver and fled without alarming Mu? Everyone in the family, and Mu Xiang happened to pass by and saved himself?

Seeing her in a daze, Mu Xiang asked again patiently. Chang Xiaoe felt that this hypothesis was very likely to be true, and she finally put down the big stone in her heart. The big one, I once learned a little fur from his old man."

"Old General Liu is a hero among men and a role model for our younger generation. Mu Xiang passed by Beijing a few years ago and was fortunate to meet him as an old man. I remember that Miss Liu was only 15 years old at that time. Mu Xiang is deeply regretful that we can't see each other again..."

Chang Xiaoe listened to his long-winded recollection of the past, relaxed her mind, and sighed in harmony, "That's not it."

"I don't know if the dragon and phoenix jade that Xiangtuo brought to Miss Liu when I went to Beijing is still there?"

"..."

Chang Xiao'e watched in shock as he suddenly turned around and stared at her eagerly. She had no impression of the dragon and phoenix jade.

Being stared at by those eagle-like eyes, Chang Xiao'e's palms were filled with cold sweat. If she had known, she would have asked Suyun a little more about this Miss Liu, and she would not have been so embarrassing.

During the stalemate, Chang Xiao'e suddenly coughed violently. Suyun hurriedly came forward and patted her on the back, and said with a smile, "Last time my uncle ordered the dragon and phoenix jade from Zhenyufang, because It was a pair, so my uncle kept the 'Xianglong' one and only gave our lady a 'Yufeng'. Later, our lady liked it so much that she played with it every day and accidentally dropped it on the ground and broke it. A corner of it was sent by my aunt who ordered someone to repair it again, why did my aunt forget it?"

Chang Xiao'e secretly sighed that Suyun was really smart, but she didn't know that the jade bi was not accidentally dropped but was broken by Liu Chengxue's hard fall to the ground.

"Mu Xiang is so stupid that he forgot."

Chang Xiao'e smiled slightly, with a tolerant expression on her face, "Master Mu, as the grandson of Mu's parents, there are so many important things waiting for you to deal with, how can you remember such trivial matters."

Mu Xiang smiled and was noncommittal. At this time, some maids came in with a few plates of pastries. Mu Xiang personally took the plate from one of the maids and walked to Chang Xiaoe's bed. Sugar cake, I know Miss Liu likes to eat sweets, so I hurried to get someone to bring it here, and Miss Liu will taste it to see if it suits your taste..."

Just as Su Yun was about to say something, Mu Xiang's cold eyes suddenly fixed her on the spot, and she silently stepped aside, not daring to interrupt.

Chang Xiao'e didn't back down, and happily picked up a piece and took a bite, "It's so sweet, I like Shijinzhai's pastries the most, thank you, Young Master Mu!"

Chang Xiao'e thought that Young Master Mu was trying to test her own taste, so she cooperatively praised the delicious cakes of this shop, laughed while eating, and unconsciously let go of her guard, revealing a trace of cuteness.

Mu Xiang looked at her for a while before saying calmly, "There are still some matters to be dealt with in the mansion. Mu Xiang bids farewell and will come to see you later."

Chang Xiao'e took a mouthful of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and said in her heart that you should get out of here, and never come back. She laughed so hard that her aunt's face became sore, thinking so in her heart, Chang Xiao'e still nodded slightly to get out of bed to see him off , was stopped by Mu Xiang.

After Mu Xiang left, Chang Xiao'e let out a long breath, took a bite of the snack, and lay on her back on the bed, silently thinking in her heart that this place cannot stay any longer. Cleverness didn't show her feet, but she was not Liu Chengxue after all, even though she was reborn, she didn't have any memories of her, so she wouldn't be played to death if she stayed like this, but she finally came here and ran around empty-handed, Chang Xiao'e had a heart Unwilling...

Just as she was struggling, Suyun suddenly looked at her suspiciously, "Miss, have you forgotten? Shijinzhai closed down last year..."

In the afternoon, it suddenly rained. After a long drought, when the rain came suddenly, even the members of the Mu family who lived in the wealthy Xiuhu family felt bursts of joy. The old lady led the crowd to burn incense and worship Buddha. Sitting in the old lady's room laughing and having fun.

Only Chang Xiao'e was sitting in her room anxiously. After all, she was fooled by this young master Mu, but her old wounds were not healed and new wounds were added, and this time it was an internal injury, and her chest hurt when she raised her breath. Without martial arts, it is even more difficult to figure out this wealthy compound, let alone carry a sack of jewels!

For several days in succession, the rain was lingering, and the people in Rongcheng went outdoors, knelt on the street, and thanked God for his mercy.

At the same time, Mu Xiang was standing behind the large table in the study, painting a picture of a crane in detail with splashes of ink. The wind and rain were raging outside the window, and the rainwater flew in from the corridor and hit the mahogany window sill. The crisp sound of glazed tiles being hit by rainwater.

From time to time, flashes of lightning flashed outside the window, followed by roaring thunder, but the house was surprisingly quiet. Under the west wall, a man in black night clothes was half-kneeling on the ground, with his head bowed and his hair tied very low. There are still drops of water dripping from the face and body, and a drop of water falls on the ground paved with white marble under the feet.

After another quarter of an hour, Mu Xiang made a final move, put down the pen in his hand, took a handkerchief from the side of the case, and wiped his fingertips without looking at the person, "Have you found everything?"

"Yes, the Young Madam did grow up beside Old General Liu, and she knew some kung fu. Since she was a child, she had a maid named Suyun who fell in love with the second son of the Chu family at first sight at the edge of Bichun Lake when she was 15 years old. The two eloped many times and were captured by the Liu family."

Mu Xiang listened quietly for a long while without saying a word, but a smile of unknown meaning appeared on his lips, it was just a flash in the pan, fleeting, at this time there was another bright light outside the window, illuminating the room brightly, Mu Xiang went to the window By the side, his face is silent.

"What's the progress of the Xu family's affairs?"

"The 76 members of the Xu family were killed last night, including the second wife who was eight months pregnant."

Mu Xiang's body shook slightly, and it took a moment for him to let go of his clenched fists, "Has the government got the news?"

"As far as my subordinates know, not yet."

After hesitating for a moment, the man still said, "When my subordinates arrived, everyone in the Xu family was hanged in the hall. The man's eyes were gouged out, and the woman's feet were chopped off..."

Mu Xiang suddenly sneered, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked out the window coldly, his exquisite facial features seemed to be coated with a thin layer of mercury by lightning, his face was filled with sternness, but his tone was a little joking, "Unexpectedly, more than ten Years have passed, and they still have nothing new!" Turning around, Mu Xiang saw the hastily bandaged wound on his arm, "Have you fought against them?"

"The subordinate is incompetent. I only saw a shadow flashing in front of me, but I didn't see who it was..."
