The subtle fragrance of cotton needles

There was no such thing as Mo Yuchen in her previous life. Could it be that she was reborn and caused things to change?

"Are you sure you don't want to tell me?" Mo Yuchen smiled evilly and repeated, "If you don't tell me, I will really send you to prison. I will personally send someone to take you there and leave someone in the mansion to search for evidence. If we find more information, you won't be able to protect the people behind you no matter how you argue."

The thief raised his head tremblingly and looked straight at Xia Pinxiang.

Everyone's eyes followed the thief's gaze and turned to Xia Pinxiang. Each of them had an unclear expression, yet seemed to understand.

"You, what are you looking at me for? It's not me, why are you looking at me?" Xia Pinxiang was a little panicked. She had indeed met this person in private, but had never helped him to stay. After all, this was the backyard, and it was not easy to hide someone. Moreover, the housekeeper's power was in Tu's hands, and all the servants could become her spies.

Mo Yuchen also looked over, his expression unchanged, still unfathomable, but he still spoke to this person: "Don't make random accusations. If the person who ordered you is not the Second Young Lady, then you will know the consequences."

The man was startled, and immediately began to shake his head, trembling, "No, no one ordered me to do that, no..."

"Really?" Mo Yuchen pressed on, staring at the man intently, as if he had seen through him.

"No, no one ordered me to..." The man was still stubborn and refused to say anything.

"Then what do you mean by looking at the Second Young Lady? Besides, you have the Second Young Lady's pearl hairpin in your hand. Did you steal it, or did the Second Young Lady give it to you?" Mo Yuchen asked slowly.

The man trembled all over, did not dare to raise his head, and kept shaking his head, but refused to identify.

Xia Pinxiang's heart was in her throat. She dared not breathe, and just waited for that person to point the finger at other people.

"Yes, I stole it. It has nothing to do with the Second Miss..." The man obviously knew that not changing the subject would lead to unpredictable consequences.

"Really? Think it over carefully before you speak." Mo Yuchen put away the smile on his face and replaced it with a dissatisfied look, "I am too lazy to talk to you anymore. If you don't tell the truth, I will send you to prison."

The man just kept shaking his head and didn't answer Mo Yuchen's words.

Suddenly the man trembled and fell to the side in full view of everyone.

"Ah!" Xia Pinxiang screamed in fright and stood up in an instant. No one else reacted at first, but Xia Pinxiang's reaction scared everyone.

At this time, Xia Liu was also shocked by Xia Pinxiang's reaction, and quickly winked at her, asking her to calm down. Wasn't it obvious that she was suspicious if she was so excited?

Mo Yuchen also looked at Xia Pinxiang, his eyes unclear, but his words were blunt: "Second Miss, why are you so nervous?"

Mo Fuchen's guard Yi Zhu had already gone forward to check on the man. After Mo Fuchen asked Xia Pinxiang, he reported to Mo Fuchen, "Your Highness, he is dead. He was severely poisoned. It is estimated that he was poisoned long ago and was activated by someone."

Dead? Mo Yuchen was still a little surprised. Who had done it so early?

Xia Yanxiang was also a little surprised. After she had poisoned him, she actually activated the poison to kill him at this time. It seemed that she had been prepared for this. Once the truth was revealed, all problems would be solved.

Xia Liu secretly wiped the sweat from his hands and said respectfully to Mo Yuchen, "Your Highness, since this person is already dead, someone must have done something to him. We are all here, and no one has the time or ability to poison this person. So he must have been instructed by an outsider to enter my house. But since this person is already dead, why not expose this matter and preserve the reputation of the women in my family? What do you think, Your Highness?"

"My Lord, do you really want to expose this matter so quickly?" Mo Yuchen glanced at Xia Liu and said in a very impolite tone, "He almost ruined the reputation of the Third Miss, and he was also involved with the Second Miss. Moreover, he has been in your house for many days and has been hiding for so long. The threat is so great, are you going to expose it so easily?"

It turns out that this is how she lived in the Shangshu Mansion!

Xia Liu was a little embarrassed, but since it had come to this, there was nothing she could do: "Even so, the man is already dead, and the matter has not developed to the point where it is out of control. In order to prevent the matter from getting out of hand, it is better to stop here. The person has been dealt with, and the reputation of the female family member has been saved. This is the best result. I think there is no need to investigate further."

Didn't Xia Yanxiang know what Xia Liu was thinking? Was she just worried that if Mo Yuchen continued to investigate, he would be implicated?

However, as far as Xia Yanxiang knew, Mo Yuchen never meddlesomed in other people’s business in his previous life. Why did he suddenly start to meddle in other people’s business today?
