The legitimate daughter returns, and the princess goes crazy

After returning home, Mu Yan dismissed the servants and locked herself in the room.

Shi Ying was very tactful when she saw this. She stood guard outside the room and did not allow anyone to approach.

When there was no one in the room, she took out the jade pendant that Lin Shishi had given her today from her bosom and combined it with the jade pendant her mother had left for her.

This is the secret order that can command the Thirteen Killers of Fengdu.

The key to the secret order is not the jade pendant in front of him, but a kind of Gu from Miaojiang - the mother-child Gu.

The mother Gu lives in this jade pendant. The mother Gu can control the child Gu, and the child Gu lives in the body of Thirteen Killers. There is no cure for this Gu, and it can only wait for the host to die. The child Gu will then live in the body of the host's closest blood relative and be passed down from generation to generation.

As long as the Thirteen Killers have ill intentions towards their master, the mother host can activate the child Gu, causing the child host's flesh and bones to burn as if they were burned by fire, until the poison burns the blood in the body dry.

This method was vicious, so in her previous life she had never used this secret method to control the Thirteen Killers. She wanted her subordinates to follow her willingly.

She will give everyone the right to choose. If they are unwilling to follow her, as long as they do not become her enemy, then she will give them freedom and let them be content to be ordinary people.

This is the real secret to controlling the Thirteen Killers of Fengdu.

She chanted a spell, took out a silver needle and pricked her finger, and a drop of bright red blood dripped onto the jade pendant.

The originally transparent white jade was slowly stained by blood, and soon the entire jade pendant turned as bright red as blood.

Then, a dark red jade pendant pattern gradually appeared on the back of her white and tender hand, and the pattern began to heat up, which was a sign that the insect had successfully recognized its master.

At this time, the symbols on the backs of the thirteen killers scattered around the place all became hot, indicating that they had a new master.

After a while, the dark red pattern on the arm gradually disappeared. This pattern would only appear when it recognized its master and when it sensed the Thirteen Killers around. The closer it was, the stronger the sense.

It will not show up at ordinary times. This is a kind of protection that the first Lord of the Thirteen Killings gives to himself.

After everything was done, Mu Yan heard a slight noise outside, thinking it must be Shi Ying and the other one.

"come in."

After hiding the jade pendant, Mu Yan raised her voice to the door and said that the fewer people who knew the secret of the jade pendant, the better. Although she knew that Shi Ying and Ling Yu were loyal, a secret would no longer be a secret if it was known by another person.

Shi Ying agreed and opened the door, only to see a man in his forties or fifties, dressed simply and looking pale, walk in. When he saw Mu Yan, he immediately lifted his robe and knelt in front of her, kowtowed solemnly several times.

This person was none other than the waiter who was sweeping the floor at Linglongfang just now. Seeing that he looked hesitant, Mu Yan asked Ling Yu to quietly bring him into the Mu Mansion through the back door after he left Linglongfang.

"Little Miss, I finally see you."

Little Miss? Only the dowry from my mother's side would call her that. It seems that this person is undoubtedly my mother's dowry slave.

Mu Yan thought about his actions in his previous life and this life, and he should be loyal to his mother.

"Get up quickly."

Mu Yan signaled with her eyes for Shi Ying to help the man up, but the man did not get up.

He leaned forward and kowtowed again, saying, "Please save us loyal old slaves. We have followed the young lady for many years and worked hard without complaint, but now we have lost our integrity."

He was the previous shopkeeper of Linglongfang. His surname was Chen and he was his mother's dowry slave. After Mu Yan left the capital, Madam Mu arranged her trusted confidant, Shopkeeper Zhou, to work in Linglongfang.

A month later, Shopkeeper Zhou found a pair of valuable jade bracelets that were lost from the shop from under his pillow and reported it to the old lady.

The evidence was irrefutable and Shopkeeper Chen had no way to defend himself.

Madam Mu was furious and wanted to kick Shopkeeper Chen out on the spot. Shopkeeper Chen had been working in this shop for half his life, so naturally he was unwilling to do so. He clamored to ask the government to investigate the matter.

The old lady refused to report to the police on the grounds that family disgrace should not be made public. In the end, she allowed him to stay in the store and do odd jobs, but he was no longer allowed to serve as the manager.

Manager Zhou also rose to power because of this incident.

Strangely, not long after, the other loyal servants who came from the Han family as dowry to the Mu family in the shop were either inexplicably searched of the shop's money or items, or were inexplicably knocked down by carriages on the street or hit by flower pots on the second floor while walking and became bedridden and were fired.

Mu Yan didn't say anything. She frowned and tapped on the table with her fingers. This matter might not be that simple.

If it happens once or twice it is an accident, but if it happens too many times it is no longer an accident. My mother owns more than one shop, and I am afraid that similar situations will occur in the remaining shops.

"How could it be such a coincidence?" Ling Yu realized something was wrong after hearing this, and subconsciously lowered the volume. He also looked towards the door on purpose to make sure there were no eavesdroppers on the other side of the wall.

Shi Ying was also filled with righteous indignation, and she could hear the twists and turns in the story.

"Miss, this is an attempt to undermine you!"

I'm afraid that they don't just want to overthrow it, but replace it.

Although the shop deed and the land title are in my hands now, there are too many tricks in running a shop. If the shop and the account books are not managed by my own people, many things can be manipulated. It doesn't matter who pockets the money I earn, but slowly the whole shop will be gone.

No wonder after she married into Prince Wei’s palace in her previous life, her personal finances were often tight.

At that time, Qingxiu was in charge of my dowry, and I trusted her very much, so I never checked the dowry list.

And Qingxiu is from the Liu family.

It turned out that I had been at the mercy of others without realizing it, and anger rose in my heart.

But she couldn't fire these people for no reason. If it was just Liu, she would not take him seriously.

But these people are obviously the old lady's people. If we insist on expelling them, wouldn't it be a clear sign that we don't trust the old lady?

Although Mu Yan didn't have a good impression of the old lady and didn't intend to please her, she was her grandmother after all. Even for her father, she couldn't get along too badly with the old lady.

After thinking for a moment with her head down, she hooked her finger and motioned for everyone to take a few steps forward.

Then he whispered something in their ears.

The three of them talked in low voices in the room for a long time, until the night gradually covered the capital.
