Chapter 5 There is a Reborn Person in the Mansion 4
Yu Muhuai slept straight through to the next morning.

Upon hearing that his younger sister had woken up, Qin Shuye and He Mo rushed over to visit her.

Seeing Yan Qing following behind the two, Yu Muhuai silently rolled his eyes.

Yu Muhuai was helped to sit up by the maid. Leaning against the cushion by the bed, he looked at Qin Shuye beside him and shook his head to indicate that he was fine. "Brother, don't worry, I'm not in pain anymore."

"How could it not hurt? Xiaomeng, your wound, the doctor said it's very deep, it must hurt a lot." He Mo choked up as he spoke, and picked up a handkerchief to wipe away his tears.

Qin Shuye sighed and said, "Mengmeng, you should rest well. I will find the best medicine for you and make sure you don't have any scars!"

Yu Muhuai pinched his thigh hard with his right hand hidden under the covers, and immediately felt grateful and his eyes filled with tears.

With tears welling up in her eyes, she nodded and continued to comfort her brother and sister-in-law, the three of them enacting a heartwarming family drama.

But there will always be someone who breaks this harmony.

The one who was so blind was naturally Yan Qing, who had memories of an extra lifetime.

What she couldn't understand was that what happened yesterday was completely different from her memories of her previous life.

Since her rebirth, everything has happened according to her memory, with only minor discrepancies in time or place.

But this doesn't stop her from planning and manipulating other people's lives.

But what happened yesterday was completely outside of Yan Qing's plan.

Yan Qing returned early yesterday with Qin Shuye, and later heard from outside that Pang Yuan had actually died.

While the outside world was in chaos and turmoil, this family was still living happily and lovingly together. How could Yan Qing tolerate this?
Since she couldn't figure it out after thinking about it all night, she decided to come along and ask him herself.

"Xiao Meng, what exactly happened to you yesterday? Why would someone try to assassinate you? And what happened to that Young Master Pang? How did he suddenly die?"

Suddenly interrupted from their cozy atmosphere, Qin Shuye frowned and turned back to look at Yan Qing with displeasure.

However, he did not stop Yan Qing from asking questions, because he also wanted to know what exactly happened yesterday.

After all, someone had died, and it was the legitimate son of a high-ranking official in the court, with the Pang family also having connections with a favored concubine in the palace.

If the matter is investigated, Yu Muhuai, the person involved, will certainly be implicated and may even be taken away by the Dali Temple.

The matter is rather tricky. If Qin Shuye could know the details in advance, he could make preparations earlier.

Yu Muhuai nodded, his face filled with fear, and delivered the prepared statement.

"Yesterday, a maid accidentally spilled wine on me, so I was taken to that courtyard to change clothes. Later, I waited inside for a long time, but the maid didn't come. Instead, I heard cries for help outside."

I rushed out to see what was happening, and saw a man in black struggling with another man. When the other man saw me open the door, he ran towards me while calling for help, trying to hide inside.

Unexpectedly, the man tripped and fell, and the man in black caught up, picked up some kind of weapon, and stabbed it directly into the man's throat.

All of this happened right next to me. I was terrified. My first instinct was to run away.

When the man in black saw me trying to run, he drew his weapon and was about to stab me. That's when I was splattered with blood.

As the young master struggled on the ground, he tripped the man in black, causing the man in black to miss his target and only injure my shoulder.

He drew his weapon, intending to continue the pursuit. I ran for my life; if he caught me, I would surely die.
Then I kept running and running, running for my life, not daring to look back to see if the man in black was still chasing me. Then, then I encountered the two maids, and only then did I dare to turn around, but there was no one behind me.

I reckon the man in black saw someone approaching, was afraid of being discovered, and therefore ran away.

After listening to Yu Muhuai's seemingly logical but actually flawed statement, Qin Shuye lowered his head and remained silent.

After thinking for a long time, he said in a low voice, "Hmm, I understand." Understand what? Yan Qing's face twisted slightly.

In her opinion, there were too many illogical points in this statement.

First of all, how could a man in black suddenly appear at the Yue residence?

Secondly, how did Pang Yuan end up being chased into Yu Muhuai's courtyard?
Third, the assassin could kill Pang Yuan, but he couldn't kill you, a woman?

Moreover, Yan Qing knew very well that Pang Yuan had been instigated by her to go and find Yu Muhuai, intending to seduce her.

But she absolutely cannot reveal this, otherwise she will be implicated and may even face serious trouble.

So Yan Qing could only force a smile and offer a few words of comfort to Yu Muhuai.

Yan Qing feigned concern on the surface, but her mind was racing with various speculations.

The most likely inference is that Yu Muhuai, unwilling to be humiliated, rose up in resistance. In the fight with Pang Yuan, he accidentally killed him.

Then she pretended that an assassin had come in, injured herself, and then ran outside to turn the tables on him.

Anyway, dead people can't talk, so let her make up whatever she wants.

The more Yan Qing thought about it, the more likely it seemed, and the more suspicious she became when she looked at Yu Muhuai.

Noticing the disbelief on Yan Qing's face, Yu Muhuai didn't care.

Even if some people doubt what she said, there is no evidence to prove that the man in black does not exist.

Erasing a person's traces is difficult, but proving that a person does not exist is even more difficult—this is a philosophical question.

This is her greatest asset.

Qin Shuye sighed, then looked up at Yu Muhuai.

A determined look appeared in his eyes as he said firmly, "Mengmeng, don't worry, I'll handle this. If anyone from the Dali Temple questions you, just tell them the whole story."

"A clear conscience fears no accusation. Our Qin family won't cause trouble, but we won't be afraid of trouble either. As long as we haven't done anything wrong, we're not afraid of anyone's investigation!"

Yu Muhuai immediately pretended to be still a little scared, but to trust his brother completely.

Her inner monologue, however, was, "Yes, I rid the people of a scourge, eliminating a pest for the people of Zuluan City and restoring their peace. It's not a guilty conscience, I'm not afraid."

Qin Shuye and He Mo gave her many more instructions, and finally, fearing that they would disturb Yu Muhuai's rest, they said goodbye to her and left with Yan Qing.

They finally left.
After dealing with her brother and sister-in-law, Yu Muhuai felt utterly exhausted. With the help of her maid, she lay down, grimacing.

"I'm really ruthless to myself," Yu Muhuai thought to himself.

After the maids had all gone to sleep that night, Yu Muhuai quietly got up, washed the bloodstained hairpin in a basin of water, and then put it back into the small box on the dressing table.

She's not able to go out right now. Once she's more mobile, she'll take the hairpin to a safe place and bury it.

Having done all this, Yu Muhuai carefully returned to bed and quickly fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, people from the Dali Temple came and specifically asked to take Yu Muhuai away.

Qin Shuye did not stop him, but instead put on his official robes and prepared to go to court.

He instructed the Dali Temple not to abuse its power, then left the Qin residence, mounted his horse, and headed towards the palace.
