After making sure his daughter was safe, Mu Lie calmed down.

He looked at the two people beside his daughter, especially Mo Ye. At this moment, Mo Ye was still wearing a white robe, and the silver mask on his face was very curious.

After a month of living together day and night, Mo Ye had never hidden his appearance. However, this time when he came to the Mu Mansion, he insisted on wearing a mask, saying that it would make him more mysterious, although Xia Qin knew he was talking nonsense.

But Mo Ye didn't tell her the reason, and Xia Qin was helpless.

Mo Ye explained according to the words he had discussed with Xia Qin: "General Mu, I am Mo Ye, a wanderer in the martial arts world. A month ago, when I was paying tribute to an old friend in the western suburbs of the capital, I saw someone committing a crime, so I rescued Miss Mu. But she was unconscious at the time, and I didn't know her identity, so I took her back to Xiling City for treatment."

"A few days ago, I happened to see a notice looking for Miss Mu. After I knew her identity, I didn't delay and immediately escorted her back."

Mu Lie didn't think much after hearing this, and immediately expressed his gratitude: "So it's Young Master Mo, you are my Mu Lie, and the great benefactor of the Mu Mansion. Young Master, you must have worked hard all the way, come to the mansion and rest, the Mu Mansion will definitely reward you handsomely!"

Mo Ye gently waved his hand and said, "It was only by chance that I saved Miss Mu. Now I have some trivial matters to deal with. Now that the person has been safely delivered, I will not disturb you anymore."

Mu Lie would naturally not let Mo Ye leave like this: "Mr. Mo, wait a moment. Lao Meng, go get the 100 taels of gold. Mr. Mo has been taking care of you these days."

Mo Ye shook his head: "Old General, you don't have to be so polite, but there is one more thing..."

"Young Master Mo, please speak!"

Mo Ye looked at Xia Qin and sighed, "When I was treating Miss Mu, I found that she had an old brain disease. After a month of treatment, it has been alleviated, but it cannot be cured in the short term, so I want to arrange for my disciple to accompany her for treatment. I wonder what the old general thinks?"

Mu Lie seemed to be struck by lightning at this moment. He stared at Mo Ye in a daze, then glanced at Xia Qin, and slowly said, "Young Master Mo, do you mean that Yan'er's brain disease can be cured?"

Mo Ye nodded: "I am 70% sure. She is recovering slowly now. I just don't know when she will be fully recovered. Maybe a month, maybe half a year, maybe a year. But as for the amnesia, I can't do anything about it for now."

Mu Lie looked dazed. Over the years, he had asked people to look for a cure for his daughter, but it was a process of countless shattered hopes. Now his daughter has returned from missing, and she actually brought such great news.

The muscles on his face were trembling with excitement, and he said excitedly: "Young man, thank you for your kindness, please accept my respect!"

As he said this, Mu Lie was about to pay his respects to Mo Ye. Mo Ye was a little flustered for a moment, and quickly stepped forward to support Mu Lie: "General Mu, you must not do this!"

Mu Jinyu, who was standing by, quickly helped Mu Lie up.

Mu Jinyu stared at Mo Ye and said in a serious tone: "Brother Mo, I am grateful for your kindness! If you need anything from the Mu Mansion in the future, just let me know!"

Seeing that the matter had been dealt with, Mo Ye was afraid that something might happen if he stayed any longer, so he quickly clasped his fists and said, "I do have something urgent to attend to, so I'll leave now. I'll definitely visit you someday. Goodbye."

After saying that, he turned around and got on the carriage. Without stopping for a moment, he left quickly. Xia Qin stared at the carriage going away in a daze, feeling a little disappointed.

She had known for a long time that Mo Ye would not care about that little bit of money, and she didn't know how long it would take before they would see each other again.

Since he left his apprentice here, he will definitely come to visit often, right?

Suddenly, she began to look forward to the next reunion. She, who had never allowed herself to have any expectations in all those years amidst the gunfire and hail of bullets, actually had a connection with him at this moment.

Everyone was puzzled by Mo Ye's strange behavior. Only Xiaoyu waved his hands and shouted loudly: "Goodbye, Master! Come and see me and Sister Jinyan when you have time! Remember to bring more delicious food!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Mu Lie came back to his senses, "Old Meng, prepare more food. Yan'er must have suffered a lot outside these days."

After all, he still had to pretend to be stupid for a few more days, so Xia Qin didn't say much. He just took Xiaoyu's hand and followed everyone back to the mansion.

The meal was soon prepared. Xiaoyu, as the disciple of her benefactor Mo Ye, naturally sat next to Xia Qin. She very obediently picked up some dishes for Xia Qin, and then picked a few dishes that looked good and started eating herself.

"Sister, Master didn't lie to me. Life in a rich family is different," Xiaoyu praised while eating, but suddenly stopped and said, looking at Mu Lie, "By the way, Master Mu, when my master treated sister, he found that she was poisoned by a chronic poison, so she should pay more attention to what she eats."

Mu Lie, who was relieved and full of joy, suddenly became gloomy when he heard this: "Little doctor, are you saying that Yan'er was poisoned before?"

"My name is Xiaoyu. My master will definitely not be wrong. It seems that there are several kinds of chronic poisons such as Prunella Vulgaris, Nan Tian Xing, and Ksitigarbha Flower. They are not fatal, but they can make people dull and weak."

Not only Mu Lie, but also Mu Jinyu who was sitting next to him had a changed expression. He whispered, "Father, wait until Xiaoyan finishes her meal, and let everyone in the family gather in the attached hospital for a thorough checkup, otherwise there may be consequences."

"Old Meng, you go and arrange it!" Mu Lie had a gloomy face, wondering who did this.

After Xiaoyu finished speaking, she continued to taste the feast at the Mu Mansion, smacking her lips and saying, "But the food on the table today is fine. It's delicious. Really delicious."

Xia Qin, who was standing aside, was trying not to laugh, thinking that Xiaoyu's acting skills were good, as she expressed everything she had told her to do very naturally, and even added some of her own acting skills.

After dinner, it was already dusk and everyone in the mansion had been gathered in the front yard, where Mu Lie sat on a bamboo chair.

The second wife, Mu Jinqi and Mu Jinxin stood on Mu Lie's right side, while Xia Qin sat on a small bamboo chair on Mu Lie's left side, staring at the small flower in her hand with a dull look, and Xiaoyu stayed by her side.

Mu Jinyu stood beside Xia Qin, upright, and glanced at everyone in the mansion with an expressionless face.

Mu Lie asked Xiao Yu in a low voice: "Little Doctor, how did those drugs you mentioned poison you?"

Xiaoyu pointed to his mouth and said, "The entrance lasted for one and a half to two years."

"In the past two years, who was responsible for cooking Yan'er's meals, preparing her medicine, delivering her medicine, and staying by her side?"

Upon hearing this, Xiaolian immediately knelt down and explained, "Master, the meals and snacks are usually prepared by the kitchen in the mansion, and I am responsible for picking them up and delivering them. The medicine for the young lady is also prepared by me according to the prescription."

Mu Jinyu looked at her suspiciously and asked, "Didn't you notice anything unusual?"

Xiao Lian replied tremblingly, "My Lord, I didn't find anything unusual. I will test the food and medicine I prepare for Miss first, as instructed by the old housekeeper."

Mu Lie and Mu Jinyu did not ask any more questions, but just kept glancing at everyone, trying to find some clues from their expressions. The entire Mu Mansion suddenly became quiet, and even the sound of the breeze seemed a little harsh.

Now, there seems to be no clues to find out what happened, and we can't torture all the servants in the family to extract confessions.

Xia Qin looked at everyone and knew it was her turn to perform.

"Xiao Wu, come here," Xia Qin suddenly spoke to everyone's surprise. She looked at Wei Wu with a smile, "This dagger you gave me is no longer fun. I'll give it back to you."

“Dagger?” Mu Lie looked at Wei Wu, his expression suddenly turned cold, “Xiao Wu, what are you going to do with the dagger for Yan Er?!”

Wei Wu was in a panic at the moment. He recalled Xia Qin's eyes and actions on the night he committed the crime. Looking at Xia Qin's silly look now, he felt uneasy and stammered, "I didn't..."

Mu Jinyu glared at Wei Wu and said coldly, "You're fine? Didn't you hear the young lady ask you to come over?"

"Yes!" As he said that, Wei Wu staggered quickly to Xia Qin, knelt down and prepared to take the dagger.

Xia Qin took out the dagger and held it high, as if preparing to slowly hand it to Wei Wu.

However, when the scabbard was about to be placed in Wei Wu's hand, the scabbard accidentally slipped off, and the blade scratched Wei Wu's palm, leaving a not very deep wound.

"Ah!" Wei Wu screamed and was about to leave, but Xia Qin grabbed his sleeve.
