Mu Jinnian was still angry, but when he heard Shen Qianjiao's words, he immediately shifted his attention.

"You said there's something fishy going on between these two people?"

"Is Xiao Qianmo targeting our Xiangfu because of that damn girl?"

After Shen Qianjiao heard this, her heart skipped a beat for no reason.

She knew the man in front of her too well. Everyone thought that he was sincere to her, but in fact, in his heart, people were divided into two types.

One is valuable and the other is worthless.

Her greatest value was that she gave birth to a pair of good children for him, and Mingzhu was even more ambitious. Not only did she hold the Third Prince tightly in her hands, but she also made the Crown Prince favor her.

If he knew that bitch Mu Yunyao had boarded Xiao Qianmo's ship...

Shen Qianjiao didn't dare to think about it.

Although Xiao Qianmo is a eunuch, he holds a very important position in the emperor's heart.

Even to the prince and the crown prince, they are not as good as him. After all, he is a dog who will never betray his master.

And the fact that Xiao Qianmo dared to act without any scruples was probably because the emperor deliberately indulged him.

Although Mu Jinnian looked down on Xiao Qianmo from the bottom of his heart, he was also really afraid of him.

Shen Qianjiao reacted and immediately tried to make amends.

"That's not what I meant. I just felt that the young lady had just returned from the countryside and didn't understand the situation in the capital. I was worried that she would be used by someone with ulterior motives."

When Mu Jinnian heard this, his expression, which had originally relaxed somewhat, instantly turned ugly.

"After all, she is lacking in education. You should keep an eye on her from now on and don't let her do anything that would damage the reputation of the Xiangfu."

Having said that, he waved and walked towards the study.

He also needs to use his connections. Mu Junsheng is his most promising son. Even if he has to go to the Ministry of Punishment, he has to get him out as soon as possible.

There is also a need to find a way to quell the rumors in the capital as soon as possible.

The best way to quell a rumor is to replace it with a more explosive rumor.

Mu Jinnian couldn't help but think of Mu Yunyao.

Mu Yunyao never imagined that his good father would actually set his sights on himself in order to restore his son's reputation.

At this time, Miss Mu, who had just finished dinner, was soaking in hot water and thinking about the Shen family. What else could she do?

Although Qiu Ziyu had been sent to Xiao Qianmo by her, and the Shen family had also sent people to protect her secretly, she still felt uneasy.

She always felt like she was missing something.

Just as she was wondering what she had forgotten, there was a crisp sound outside the window and a cool breeze blew in.

Goose bumps appeared on the exposed skin.

Mu Yunyao didn't have time to think, she jumped out of the bathtub, raised her hand to take off the dress hanging on the screen, and wrapped herself tightly.

"Who?"

Xiao Qianyi didn't expect that he would encounter such an embarrassing scene when he climbed in through the window.

He immediately turned his back to the screen and whispered.

"It's me. I disturbed Miss Mu."

Mu Yunyao knew who the person was by the voice, but she always felt that there was something wrong with the person's voice, as if it was deliberately lowered a little.

The last time he came over in the middle of the night, she was too nervous to notice, but this time she heard it clearly.

"Why did Lord Qian Yi come to visit in the middle of the night?"

Mu Yunyao didn't dwell on his impoliteness. After all, she had already been impolite before, and regardless of whether he had seen it or not, she couldn't possibly ask the man to take off all his clothes so that she could see it back.

"cough."

Xiao Qianyi cleared his cough uncomfortably. After a while, he heard footsteps approaching and turned around.

Seeing Mu Yunyao, who was already dressed neatly, he couldn't help but think of the stunning glimpse he had just had, and his face flushed.

"Feel sorry."

Xiao Qianyi bowed and clasped his fists. He was rude and an apology was necessary.

Mu Yunyao walked to the table and sat down, pouring a cup of tea and pushing it in front of Xiao Qianyi.

Seeing his blushing face, she really didn't expect that the dignified owner of Qianxue Tower would be so innocent.

If he doesn't calm down, I'm really afraid he'll catch fire.

"Master Qian Yi came here late at night just to say 'sorry'?"

Xiao Qianyi picked up the teacup and took a big gulp. Only then did he feel that his heart, which was about to jump out of his throat, calm down a little.

Thinking of Mu Yunyao's words, he cleared his throat and said.

"Xiao Qianmo has found out about you."

When he said this, his ears started to feel hot unconsciously.

Perhaps he himself didn't know that in order to have a legitimate reason to see her, he could even betray himself.

"Ok?"

Now it was Mu Yunyao's turn to be confused. She had just met Xiao Qianmo in the afternoon, so how come she didn't notice anything?

Given Governor Xiao's character, if he really suspected her, shouldn't she be taken back to the Ministry of Punishment for questioning like Mu Junsheng?

Looking at Mu Yunyao's innocent yet slightly puzzled expression, Xiao Qianyi felt that she looked cuter and cuter.

Inwardly, I felt embarrassed at my poor excuse.

Her hand unconsciously touched the cuffs, where the new and old hairpins that fell from her head were hidden. Suddenly, he thought of something, and Xiao Qianyi spoke with more confidence.

"Did you lose a hairpin?"

Mu Yunyao subconsciously wanted to touch her temples, but suddenly remembered that she had just taken off her hairpins and let her hair down.

And she also remembered what the buyao that Xiao Qianyi mentioned was?

She didn't expect that the hairpin would happen to hook onto the hem of Governor Xiao's clothes.

"What's wrong with that hairpin?"

Mu Yunyao's expression of surprise did not seem fake, but her heart was in turmoil. She had never expected that Xiao Qianmo would find out about the hairpin so quickly.

Although it was not her intention that the hairpin was caught by someone's clothes, she did take it out with her on purpose.

The things were sent by Shen Qianjiao.

When she first returned home that day, she asked someone to hire an embroiderer to make clothes for her. This matter eventually reached Mu Jinnian's ears. Shen Qianjiao was afraid that she would cause trouble again and ruin the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

So he simply asked someone to send a batch of jewelry over.

In her previous life, Mu Yunyao entered the Third Prince's mansion and took care of the harem for him. She had certainly seen some good things. The hairpins were delicate and beautiful, and they were obviously of the Jiangnan style.

Judging from its quality, it seems to be quite old. She originally thought that it was the leftovers selected by Shen Mingzhu and was used by Shen Qianjiao to fool her.

But when my fingers touched the hairpin and the inconspicuous mark, my long-sealed memory suddenly awakened.

She had seen this mark before her rebirth, but had never heard Qiu Ziyu talk about the origin of this mark and the identity it represented in the Qiu family.

She had deliberately taken it out that day, and originally wanted to put this thing in front of Xiao Qianmo.

I just didn't expect that things would be so coincidental.

"That thing is related to a case that Governor Xiao is investigating."

Xiao Qianyi did not hide it from her, but he did not tell her directly that it was the Qiu family, for fear of scaring the little girl in front of him.

It was expected, but Mu Yunyao still pretended to be surprised and asked.
