When Shen Zhao mentioned the term "substitute", Duan Lu Chong turned around. For the first time, Shen Zhao felt that he was looking at her straight in the eye, and his attitude seemed to have changed a lot.

"It seems that you know quite a lot, but as you have heard, what I want to know most now is how he stood up. From what I understand, if he is poisoned without a good doctor, there is no chance of survival."

"You've seen it too, Mu Guichao. He's completely dependent on drugs. His body has long been used up. He looks even worse than Mu Yanchen."

"Do you know who the doctor next to Mu Yanchen is?"

Shen Zhao felt that the medicinal properties in her body had been consumed again. She secretly tried to move her fingers and found that they were able to bend.

She looked at Duan Luchong intently, "It was a man named Zhao Qing, but I only met him a few times and never saw him again."

Shen Zhao's words were half true and half false, so his expression would not let anyone notice any clues.

And what she said was indeed the fact that Duan Lu Chong knew. Zhao Qing was indeed still in the manor when Mu Yanchen fell ill, but he was kidnapped by Li Chengyi afterwards. There was indeed a time difference here, and Zhao Qing could have prescribed medicine to prolong his life during this period.

Duan Luchong narrowed his eyes, as if he accepted Shen Zhao's words.

Shen Zhao then asked tentatively: "If I contribute my own value, can you let me go?"

Duan Lu Chong grinned after hearing this. In the quiet night, the empty room was creepy.

"Does Mu Yanchen know about your face? I really want to record this moment and then show it to him, so that he can see what kind of person he has found as a companion!"

"What? I'm the one who's surprised," Shen Zhao said with a look of hatred for Mu Yanchen, "It turns out that he has been supporting me since I was a child because I look like his deceased lover! Isn't this even more disgusting? He's a pedophile!"

Duan Luchong's eyes were frivolous, as if he didn't expect her to say that. He smiled even more happily, but the smile did not reach his eyes, and there was even a darkness that Shen Zhao could not see. "Yes, those people can do it."

He suddenly approached Shen Zhao, face to face, "Do you hate him? You should hate him. He started coveting you at such a young age. You never thought about it, did you?"

The cold words were like vines on the wall, cold and thorny, slowly wrapping around her and making it hard for her to breathe. However, she could not show her fear and had to express the same hatred as them.

But as Duan Lu Chong said, this is definitely not the first time it has happened. So who else in the Mu family is so perverted?

"Why are you saying so much to her?" the female voice outside the door sounded.

Shen Zhao's heart suddenly tightened. She tried to move her fingers again, but they could only bend and could not do anything else. But she had no time!

If it was just Duan Lu Chong, she would still be confident that she could get something out of him, but if that woman joined in, all her actions would be exposed. After all, that woman could observe her from a more objective perspective.

Shen Zhao tried desperately to raise his head, but the woman had already turned in from the door.

"Don't waste your energy. This medicine won't work in a short time!"

The woman lowered her eyes and looked at her indifferently.

Shen Zhao had seen this woman before. Although at that time there was only an outline and even her face could not be seen clearly, Shen Zhao knew that they were indeed the same person.

The difference between being in the garden and being here is like a world of difference, a transformation from a mental patient to a superior person.

At this moment, she was no longer unkempt, her hair was neatly draped over her shoulders, revealing her complete face. She looked to be in her early thirties, with extremely delicate features, but nothing about her resembled Mu Yingfeng. Shen Zhao guessed that she must have the same bloodline as her mother.

The dress with muddy hem was replaced by a simple black satin long skirt, making this person look even more cold and distant.

They seemed to be very confident in their medication, otherwise Mu Daying would not show up at this time, or they felt that she could not change the outcome of tonight at all, so she did not bother to hide.

Shen Zhao curled his lips and there was no need to guess anymore. The person behind the scenes was Mu Daying. She must have endured all these years just for tonight, but did she have such a deep hatred for the men in Mu's house?

"Second Miss, should I call you that?"

Mu Daiying found a seat at random and sat down, changing her crazy behavior. At this moment, under the moonlight, she showed the pride and grace of a noble lady.

Duan Lu Chong's eyes have never left her since she came in.

"It's up to you. It's just a name."

"Why did you arrest me?"

Mu Daiying didn't even look at Shen Zhao. "You are of no use to me. You are just trying to drive Mu Yanchen crazy. If it doesn't work once, I'll try a second time."

"The first time?"

Mu Daiying turned her head, one side of her face was hidden in the dark, the other side was exposed under the light, her eyes were full of mockery, "You can't imagine it, he is a lovesick man, he doesn't look like Mu Yingfeng or the fourth wife, sometimes I feel that he is not of the Mu family, but his eyes are very much like Mu Yingfeng, don't you think it's ridiculous?"

No one found it funny. The only sound in the room was Mu Daying's faint and sarcastic laughter.

"The first time, we killed his lover, and he still hasn't traced it back to me," she said, twisting her fingers around her drooping hair and loosening it up. "He got angry that time, but I didn't expect him to suppress it so quickly. I wanted him to make the Mu family restless, but he didn't take any action. So I'm going to give him a second time!"

"Do you think I can do it?"

Mu Daiying said confidently: "You can definitely do it. We checked that person. No matter your behavior or appearance, you are very similar to her. If you were not so young, I would have thought that the original plan had failed and that person was not dead at all."

"How did you kill her?"

Seeing Shen Zhao so calm, Mu Daiying also patiently said, "Anyway, it will take some time for Mu Yanchen to find you, so it's not that I can't tell you. Besides, you won't live long, so it's okay to let you understand a little."

When facing someone who is about to die, Mu Daying is always generous. She cannot be said to be merciful, but she can give the deceased an understanding.

She smiled sinisterly, "You know what? We sank that woman into the pond. What kind of death do you think that was? She must have been in great pain in the end, but I think Mu Yanchen would have been even more painful to see her dead appearance after being fished out. I heard about his actions at the funeral home, saying that she couldn't be cremated until the murderer was found, so his lover is still lying in the freezer! She's been soaked beyond recognition!"

Shen Zhao's eyes widened when she heard this, bloodshot gathered in the whites of her eyes, veins on her forehead were visible, and she looked like she would jump up and fight Mu Daying to the death as soon as the effect of the medicine wore off.

It turned out to be the person in front of me!
