Shen Zhao stretched out his hand skillfully and pressed his fingertips on Mu Sheng's pulse, feeling the extremely similar yet messy pulse.
She closed her eyes, and after about five minutes, she slowly opened her eyes and looked at Mu Yanchen with complicated eyes.
Mo Xinqi looked back and forth nervously between Mu Yanchen and Shen Zhao, wanting to say something but stopping herself, feeling inexplicably anxious.
"What's wrong?" Mu Yanchen's voice was very light, but when facing Shen Zhao, there was a kind of intimacy that was different from others.
Shen Zhao looked at Mu Sheng, without stopping his hands, and quickly took out the medicine from the box and quickly injected it into Mu Sheng's veins. Then he spread out the cloth bag containing silver needles and skillfully inserted the silver needles into Mu Sheng's acupuncture points.
"Mu Yanchen, Mu Sheng's pulse is indeed somewhat similar to yours. I felt from the beginning that you two should be similar, but Mu Sheng's pulse is much better than yours at the time," Shen Zhao pursed her lips, she turned her head away, her eyes full of pain, "What on earth did they do to you!"
Although Mo Xinqi didn't know what they were talking about, the word "OK" made her feel a lot more at ease. But now seeing Shen Zhao's expression, she didn't dare to go up to Shen Zhao and ask about Mu Sheng's situation.
Mu Ying did not have the same concerns as Mo Xinqi. In her opinion, her mother had done a favor to Mu Yanchen first, so saving Mu Sheng was natural.
She asked anxiously, "How is Mu Sheng now?"
The words were spoken, breaking the stalemate between Mu Yanchen and Shen Zhao. Mu Yanchen's expression remained indifferent, as if everything had nothing to do with him, even though all the pain was borne by him.
Shen Zhao didn't want to see him looking like this, just like when she first met him, his whole body was just a shell, there was no hope for the future in his eyes, he was gloomy, all his vitality was obscured by hatred, and he didn't care about the harm that happened to him.
She looked at him for a while, then looked away. She said to Mu Ying, "He is stable for now. He has not been poisoned for long, so it is relatively easy to control. But if we want to completely remove the toxins from his body, we must get the Cai family's secret medicine."
"The Cai family's secret medicine?!" they both asked at the same time.
Mo Xinqi was so anxious that she almost grabbed Shen Zhao's hand, "Miss, what is this secret medicine of the Cai family that you mentioned?"
"What do you know? This concerns the safety of the remaining male descendants of the Mu family." Shen Zhao did not keep or hide anything. Now anyone who can provide reliable information will be of great help in a race against time.
Mo Xinqi glanced at Mu Sheng, who had calmed down. The silver needles on his body glowed coldly. She turned her head and looked at Shen Zhao sincerely, and said slowly, "I don't know if what you said is what I know, but I know that time is urgent." She glanced at Mu Yanchen, pursed her lips and continued, "I had just entered the Mu family not long ago, but many things had already been settled, such as the fight between the second and first houses."
Mo Xinqi didn't say what it was specifically, but Shen Zhao guessed it.
It was nothing more than that Song Si persecuted her eldest son, sent Cai Ninglian to a nursing home, and left the mentally immature Mu Daying in the Mu residence. However, there was no real evidence for these, and outsiders could only make vague guesses.
"Mu Yingfeng took me in as well. I did covet the rich life that Mu Yingfeng could give me, but I also cherished my life and knew that I didn't have the ability to confront the second branch head-on, so I chose to avoid it. Mu Yingfeng and I even discussed it long ago. If I could give birth to his children, then I just needed to ensure that they had a rich life. So I asked my children to take out a sum of money from the family trust fund every month, and I gave up the inheritance rights of other industries."
Mu Ying had never heard of Mo Xinqi's plan and was also shocked at this moment.
Regardless of how Mu Ying looked at her, Mo Xinqi continued, "This decision has indeed brought me a stable and prosperous life in the future. Mu Yingfeng also treats me as a confidant. Whenever he is unhappy, he will come to me to talk. Although Song Si arranged people to monitor our family, he did not do anything excessive. I am very satisfied."
"At the time, I thought the Cai family had fallen on hard times, and Cai Ninglian was either crazy or insane, and would never make it. I lived in a remote area, so a lot of news was delayed. It was too late to look for clues after the incident happened."
"I completely let my guard down in the other courtyard. I was very naive at the time. I thought I could easily raise my son and daughter. But I never expected that a few years after the Seventh Young Master was sent to the south, my son would be poisoned."
"At first, I didn't know that Mu Yingfeng, Mu Guichao, and even the Seventh Young Master were poisoned by that rare poison. I just felt that even though I had tried so hard to avoid them, my son was still harmed. My first reaction was to suspect Song Si. After all, in my opinion, the First Young Master was harmed by her."
"When I went to argue with Mu Yingfeng, I found out that Mu Yingfeng, Mu Guichao, and the Seventh Young Master all had the same disease as Mu Sheng. But I calmed down at that time because Song Si would not harm his own son!"
"I lived in the other courtyard and observed the Mu residence from a distance. The family I suspected the most was the Cai family. Of course, I told Mu Yingfeng about this, but he stared at me arrogantly. What he said at the time dispelled my doubts. He said that the Mu family had so many enemies, and the Cai family had been suppressed to the point where they couldn't get back on their feet. They couldn't infiltrate their Mu residence at all, so it couldn't be the Cai family at all, let alone Cai Ninglian, who already had mental problems, and Mu Daiying, who had been driven insane by Mu Yingfeng."
Shen Zhao's eyes were clear and sharp, and when Mo Xinqi was stared at, she felt as if she was seen through.
Mo Xinqi opened her mouth and Shen Zhao looked away.
Shen Zhao opened his lips and said in a cold voice, "According to what you said before, how did you know about the Cai family's secret medicine?"
Mo Xinqi calmed herself down, swallowed her saliva, and said in a trembling voice, "It's like this. My two children and I were all in the other courtyard. We didn't show up at the Mu residence because of any grand event, but Mu Sheng still got sick. Afterwards, I speculated that Mu Sheng was killed in the other courtyard. Maybe it was because they thought that I, a powerless third wife, probably didn't have much strength or brains. I traced the person who killed Mu Sheng to a side chain of the Cai family. On the surface, he really had nothing to do with the Cai family, because that person was separated from the Cai family by several families, and the blood relationship was very weak. If you don't look carefully, you can't find any connection at all. But at that time, I was already obsessed. I must find the murderer who killed Mu Sheng! When I was more certain, that person had died in an accident."
Mo Xinqi was still panicking when she talked about this. "I was surprised at the power behind that person. I immediately called back all the people who were investigating. I didn't dare to make any moves afterwards. If they could do something to Mu Sheng, then it would be easy for them to kill him. That person's death was like a warning. I didn't dare to act rashly, but I still vaguely knew the connection between it and the Cai family."
She glanced at Mu Yanchen and said, "There was really no other way. I saw the potential of the Seventh Young Master and I was willing to take a chance, so I advised Mu Yingfeng to send the Seventh Young Master to the south."
"After I found out about the connection with the Cai family, I didn't dare to make it public because I knew no one would believe it. But I also started to try to show my kind side when I came into contact with people from the Cai family, especially to the remaining bloodline of the Cai and Mu families, that is Mu Daiying."
"She has tattoos on her body. I found out about that by bribing a personal maid."
"Do you have a pattern of the tattoos on her body?"
Mo Xinqi reached out and pressed her beating heart, then nodded, "I have kept it under my berth."
