The legitimate daughter returns, and the princess goes crazy

Ling Yu shook her head solemnly, "Miss, I followed your instructions and went to the Dali Temple Prison every night to wait, but I never found anything unusual, let alone someone breaking into the prison."

Mu Wan's matter had not yet been decided, and Mu Yan was afraid that something might happen along the way, so she deliberately left Ling Yu in the capital so that she could keep an eye on Mu Wan's movements.

Normally nothing would happen during the day, and if there was any noise it would be too obvious, so Ling Yu would be on guard during this time at night every day.

Shi Ying teased, "Could it be that you secretly fell asleep at night?"

Ling Yu poked her head hard and gave her a big eye roll.

"You think I am you!"

Mu Yan understood her personality. She was serious and careful in her work. She would always concentrate on the situation in the Dali Temple Prison and would never sleep or do anything else.

In this case, there is only one possibility, that is, there is an insider in the Dali Temple Prison who stole Mu Wan away.

She remembered the note that Mu Xue had given her, which said that Mu Wan had been secretly having an affair with Mo Xingchen for a long time. It would not be surprising if Mo Xingchen had done it.

No matter what, Mo Xingchen is a prince after all, and he has the ability to rescue someone from the Dali Temple Prison without leaving any trace.

But Mu Wan's face is now disfigured and she is charged with crimes. The most important thing Mo Xingchen should do is to silence her and prevent her from saying things she shouldn't. Why did he go to so much trouble to rescue her?

She didn't think that Mo Xingchen went through the trouble to rescue her just to kill her outside. There was no need for that at all.

Could it be that Mu Wan has other secrets that make Mo Xingchen reluctant to abandon her?

Mu Yan thought about it over and over again, and could only think of this possibility, but what exactly was the secret?

"Forget it, let's pack up and go back to the Mu family first."

Since you can’t figure it out, just think about it slowly.

When Mu Yan and his group returned to the Mu family, his father and two elders had already gone out to work.

She went back to Qiyun Pavilion, washed up a bit, and then went to Madam Mu's Ning'an Hall. She had been staying in the villa for a few days, so naturally she had to pay her respects to all the elders after returning home.

If the other elders were not around, she would only have to pay her respects to Madam Mu. However, she did not expect to hear laughter coming from inside the house before she even stepped into it. It seemed that Madam Mu was in much better physical and mental condition than before.

Nanny Tian beside Madam Mu said, "Recently, the second young lady has been coming to chat with the old lady. The old lady is in a much better mood and her health is also getting better."

Mu Yan's lips curled slightly, "Grandmother was originally in good health, but something happened a while ago that caused her to be depressed. Now that she is in a better mood, her health will naturally improve as well."

Nanny Tian didn't notice Mu Yan's expression and continued to praise, "I think this second young lady is really good. She is not only well-educated, but also filial. The old lady likes her very much."

Mu Yan raised a hint of disdain at the corner of her mouth: "Since the second sister can make grandma happy, let her come to accompany grandma more often, and I, as the eldest granddaughter, will feel relieved."

It seems that her second sister is quite capable and smart. She was able to see the situation clearly soon after entering the mansion and knew who to find for support.

But as a grandmother, she likes all other grandchildren very much, as long as they are not her.

As soon as Mu Yan stepped into the house, the smiles in the room stopped abruptly, as if her appearance was very inappropriate.

"It's Yan girl who's here."

Madam Mu's voice was a little distant. The previous incidents with Liu and Mu Wan had always made her feel resentful towards Mu Yan.

Mu Yan walked to the front and bowed properly, and no one could find any fault with her.

Madam Mu waved her hand: "Okay, get up."

Mu Xue also stood up after seeing Mu Yan: "Big sister, I wonder if you are feeling comfortable in the other courtyard these days."

Mu Yan sneered softly: "I was originally living comfortably, but today, for some reason, a mouse appeared in the courtyard. I don't know if the servants let it in on purpose. It really ruined my mood, so I returned home."

There was something else in her words. The mouse was referring to Wang Peiru, and the servant who intentionally let the mouse in was referring to Mu Xue.

Sure enough, after hearing what Mu Yan said, Mu Xue's face showed a little embarrassment, but she quickly regained her composure.

"It's just a mouse. It must have gotten in when the servants weren't paying attention. Don't take it to heart, big sister."

Mu Yan sneered in her heart: "He's just a clown. I won't take him seriously."

Madam Mu seemed very impatient, "Okay, I'm going to rest, you all go down first."

Her eyesight was not blurry yet, so how could she not hear the verbal battle between the two sisters? Then she looked at Mu Yan with dissatisfaction. This granddaughter was really hard to like. She always ruined the atmosphere for no reason.

Mu Yan automatically ignored the displeasure in her eyes and said calmly, "Yes, grandmother, your granddaughter will take her leave."

In contrast, Mu Xue was very respectful and enthusiastic: "Then grandma, please take a rest first. Xue'er will also take her leave. I will come back to chat with you tomorrow."

Madam Mu looked at Mu Xue with admiration. She was really good at pleasing her. "Okay, okay, you are such a good child. Grandmother will be waiting for you to come and pay your respects tomorrow."

Afterwards, the two of them left Ning'an Hall together and walked out of the yard together, but no one spoke along the way. Since returning from the Lin Mansion last time, Mu Xue no longer deliberately found topics to bring the two closer together as before.

But in the end, Mu Xue couldn't help but speak first to break the awkward atmosphere: "Big sister, you have lived in the villa for so long not just to relax, right?"

Mu Yan did not give a direct answer, but asked: "I'm not going there to relax, what am I going there for?"

Mu Xue was choked by this and didn't say anything else.

But Mu Yan didn't plan to let her go so easily today. She stopped and asked all the maids to retreat. Then, with a stern look in her eyes, she asked Mu Xue repeatedly, "You led Wang Peiru away today, right? You were the one who sent me the letter at Hua Man Lou that day, right? And you were the one who came up with the idea for the birthday banquet at the Lin Mansion, right?"

When Mu Yan said these words, her tone was not one of doubt, but one of certainty and even questioning.

She had sufficient evidence to prove that these things were done by Mu Xue. Hua Manlou sent the letter in order to make her fight with Mu Wan more intense. Needless to say, the purpose of the other two things was nothing more than to make trouble for herself.

She really couldn't figure out how she had offended Mu Xue that made her treat her like this.

Mu Yan was not afraid of having one more enemy, she just wanted to get to the bottom of it.

Seeing that the matter could not be concealed, Mu Xue did not intend to hide it any longer. She pursed her lips and said:

"I once had a dream."

Mu Yan took a breath. This opening line sounded familiar, as if she had said it to her master before.

Mu Wan continued, "In my dream, I was inferior and cowardly, and was always bullied by Mu Wan and Mu Ning. But you were different. Not only did you not bully me, you would even speak up for me if you had the chance."

Mu Yan frowned. If that was the case, why did she still hate him?

Then she changed the subject: "I always thought you were a kind person, until my father betrothed me to an old man, I realized that I was wrong about you.

It was a snowy day, and I ran to find you, begging you to save me. I even lost my shoes. So I waited for you barefoot in the snow, waiting and waiting, from dawn to dusk, but you not only let the doorman speak ill of me, but also drove me away viciously.

With your status at that time, if you had said just one word, I wouldn't have to die in that dilapidated yard in the winter of the following year, but you didn't, you didn't help me."
