After raising a cub, I won by doing nothing

Chapter 296 I don’t know any half-demon

Just one look and Nanny Jin's face turned pale instantly.

Empress Dowager Bai also glanced at the brocade box, and the blood in her body seemed to freeze in an instant, and a chill ran from the soles of her feet to her forehead!
I saw that inside the brocade box was a phoenix hairpin.

It was the phoenix hairpin that Mu Wanxi had given her before and then disappeared. She suspected that it was stolen by the Wu sisters!
"Does that phoenix hairpin look familiar, Grandmother?" Mu Wanxi asked with a smile, admiring Empress Dowager Bai's panic-stricken expression.

"This, isn't this the phoenix hairpin you gave me before? But then I accidentally lost it, how did it end up in your hands?" Queen Mother Bai tried hard to drive away the shock and fear in her heart, and asked Mu Wanxi with a stiff smile.

At this time, she had no time to continue talking to Mu Wanxi about Mu Yuhua.

Her mind was full of thoughts about why this phoenix hairpin ended up in Mu Wanxi's hands.

"It's a coincidence." Mu Wanxi's beautiful phoenix eyes stared straight at Empress Dowager Bai, not missing any changes in her expression. No special emotions could be heard in her casual tone. "Some time ago, I was attacked by two half-demons, and this phoenix hairpin was searched from them. At that time, I was very curious, why did this phoenix hairpin fall into their hands? I am also very sure that this phoenix hairpin was given by me to the Royal Grandmother, because my name is engraved on it, it can't be fake."

The previous owner of this body, Mu Wanxi, had a habit of engraving her name on the gold and silver jewelry she obtained.

Being stared at by Mu Wanxi with a gaze as deep as the night, a drop of cold sweat ran down the forehead of Empress Dowager Bai. She felt as if her body had fallen into an ice cellar and was so cold that she wanted to shiver.

"I don't know about that either." Queen Mother Bai's tone was obviously a little guilty, "Maybe they broke into the palace and stole the phoenix hairpin."

"I think so too." Mu Wanxi raised the corners of his lips slightly and said, "Grandmother, those two half-demons have nothing to do with you, right?"

"It doesn't matter!" Queen Mother Bai denied without thinking, "I don't know any half-demon."

I knew that Queen Mother Bai would not admit it so easily, and Mu Wanxi did not intend for her to admit it now. She just wanted to scare her on a whim. Just like the game of cat and mouse, this game is fun only if you play it slowly.

"In that case, the Empress Dowager must keep this phoenix hairpin well and never lose it again. Well, I won't disturb the Empress Dowager's rest. I'll take my leave first." After saying that, Mu Wanxi got up and left.

After Mu Wanxi left the bedroom, Empress Dowager Bai seemed to have left her world and collapsed on the bed.

There were waves of needle-like pain in her chest. Empress Dowager Bai gasped for air and said to Nanny Jin, "My chest hurts so much. Hurry, go get the imperial physician."

Mu Wanxi stayed in the palace until noon, and only returned home after having lunch there.

She calculated that by this time, Helian Chiyue should have finished teaching the three little brats and returned to his own house.

That way, she wouldn't have to meet him.

But imagination is rich and reality is cruel.

Mu Wanxi had just stepped out of the carriage when she happened to meet Helian Chiyue who was standing at the gate of the mansion.

The two met each other unexpectedly.

The ambiguous scene from yesterday came to his mind again. Mu Wanxi was standing on the carriage. It was not right for him to go back into the carriage, nor was it right for him to get off the carriage.
