When Mu Yan walked into the main hall, she just saw Liu Wenmei, who was kneeling on the ground, being kicked down by Mu Jun.

Madam Mu, who was sitting in the middle, opened her mouth but ultimately said nothing.

Sun and Zou on the side both showed a gloating expression.

"You two mother and daughter are going to destroy our Mu family."

One stole and sold the imperial gift, and the other was not only thrown into jail, but also dared to deceive the king.

Because rumors were flying around during this period, he was kept after the court session and scolded for not teaching his daughter well.

If it weren't for his diligence and great achievements in his career, he would have been demoted three levels long ago. Now he is fortunately only given a verbal reprimand and a one-year salary deduction.

"I, I don't know."

Liu looked innocent and sat weakly on the ground, trying to awaken Mu Jun's sympathy.

But what the mother and daughter had done one after another had already touched his bottom line, and the little gratitude he had felt in the early years had been gradually eroded.

Seeing that Mu Jun was unmoved, Liu Wenmei hurriedly knelt down and crawled to the old lady's feet, grabbing her trouser legs tightly, "Aunt, don't you care about me anymore?"

She didn't call her old lady, but called her according to her generation from her natal family, hoping that the old lady could help her again.

Madam Mu finally sighed. After all, she was a blood-related niece. "Jun'er, what do you want to do with her? I think it's better to send her to the farm in my hometown and let her fend for herself."

But what's the difference between sending her to the farm and imprisoning her in the mansion now?

A hint of coldness flashed in Mu Yan's eyes, and he raised his eyes and gave Qin Xiaoniang a wink.

Some time ago, Mu Yan personally begged her father to release her from Qin Yi Pavilion.

Qin Xiaoniang immediately understood, took two steps forward, and knelt on the ground with a plop, "Madam, Master, I have something important to report."

At this moment, Mu Jun was annoyed. He frowned and said unhappily, "Why do you have to say it now?"

"This matter is related to the Liu family."

Seeing everyone's confusion, Qin Xiaoniang continued, "In fact, it was Aunt Liu who instructed the evil monk Xichen to frame the eldest lady. I was coerced by her to admit the crime."

Liu was anxious. "You are talking nonsense. I didn't do it. If you have the ability, show me the evidence. I am looking at you because I know..."

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Mu Yan, "This is Xi Chen's confession. My daughter thought the incident was strange, so she sent someone to investigate in detail. I didn't expect that there was another mastermind behind this incident."

Mu Jun took the confession and looked at it. His expression became increasingly unfriendly. He raised his eyes and looked at Liu.

There was no anger in his eyes as at the beginning, but a creepy calmness.

Mu Jun is a person who rarely gets angry, but once he gets angry, his anger is not something that ordinary people can bear.

Liu trembled under Mu Jun's gaze, and her body moved back reflexively, unable to even utter a word of rebuttal.

"Liu Wenmei, not only did you fail to educate your daughter, you also amassed wealth and framed the legitimate daughter. Your crime is unforgivable. According to the Mu family rules, you will be beaten to death!"

Then he stood up and strode out of the lobby without even bothering to glance at her.

The whole hall was as silent as ink, and those words spread out like splashed ink, filling the entire hall.

Liu recovered from her shock and screamed, "No, Master, you can't do this to me!"

But her screams were useless and she was eventually dragged away by the servants.

Even Madam Mu ignored her, closed her eyes and chanted the Buddha's name, but the Buddhist beads in her hand were spinning rapidly.

Because it was inconvenient to disclose the cause of Liu's death, it was only said that she died of illness.

Perhaps it was because Liu's resentment was too great. After her death, a fire broke out in the Mu family for no reason. The entire Qin Yi Pavilion was burned all night. The flames shot up to the sky, illuminating half of the capital city like day.

The fire broke out in the middle of the night. Qin Xiaoniang and Master Ran of the Mu family were still asleep and did not run out in time. After the fire was put out, even the bodies were not found. Everyone said that they had been burned to ashes.

……

Post station outside the capital.

A woman in plain clothes looked at the veiled woman in front of her with gratitude, "Miss, thank you for your kindness. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would..."

Mu Yan waved her hand and took out a bulging silver bag from her bosom. "I have bought a property and a shop for you in the south. Take this silver. It will be enough for you to spend for a while."

The woman was full of gratitude, and she pulled the scholar-like man beside her to kneel down, "Quick, let's thank the young lady for her help."

"Hurry up, Qin... No, Madam Li, you are no longer the aunt of the Mu family. You have a new identity and life."

Then she looked at the boy and girl next to the woman. They seemed unaware of what was happening and were still eating the candied haws with gusto.

The boy saw Mu Yan looking at him and grinned and shouted, "Sister, big sister!"

Although Muran is not her biological brother, they have lived together for so many years that it would be a lie to say that she has no feelings for him.

She raised her hand and poked his chubby little face, then gently stroked the girl's head.

The girl's eyebrows and eyes resemble Qin Xiaoniang, but her face shape is very similar to Mu Yan.

Maybe it was related to blood relationship, Mu Yan felt very familiar with her when he first saw her, and the girl seemed to like her very much, "What's her name?"

The scholar had a simple and honest face, "Li Zhiyu."

When the wind blows over the mountains and rivers, we know it will rain; when the dew wets, we know autumn is coming.

Mu Yan said softly, "If there is anything in the future, send someone to tell me."

Although she was very angry about what Qin Xiaoniang did, Muran and Li Zhiyu were still her brothers and sisters, and she would lend a hand if they needed help.

The two looked at Mu Yan with gratitude.

"It's getting late, you should set off early."

……

People in the Mu family died one after another, and finally Madam Mu couldn't hold on and fell seriously ill.

The power of the housekeeper naturally fell to Sun Moyu. During that period, she held her head high in the sky and even walked with the wind.

But Zou from the third room was no pushover either. She was so jealous of the housekeeper's huge lucrativeness that she had to die. During this period of time, she had been serving the old lady tea and water every day, hoping to find a way to take back the housekeeper's power.

"Miss, your face!"

As soon as Shi Ying entered the room, she saw Mu Yan sitting in front of the dressing table.

The person in the mirror has skin as smooth as water, without a single blemish.

Mu Yan glanced at Shi Ying, looking like she had never seen the world before: "Yes, your young lady's face is completely healed."

Shi Ying was overjoyed and wanted to run out to tell everyone the news. Before she turned around, she heard Mu Yan say, "Don't be a morning glory yet. Come with me."

"Where are we going, miss?"

"Dali Temple Prison!"
