And now this girl is talking about this here.

"Mu Yunyao, you should know that your last name is also Mu. You insist on linking me to the traitors. Aren't you afraid that you will also be implicated when the nine clans are executed?"

Mu Jinnian was really panicked and had already started threatening her.

Seeing his frustrated look, Mu Yunyao already knew what was going on, and the look she gave Mu Jinnian became even colder.

"You don't need to tell me this, Mu Xiang."

Having said that, he went back to his yard without looking back.

Mu Jinnian looked at her leaving back, with hatred and fear in his eyes.

Looking at the servants around him, he said coldly, "Anyone who dares to tell others about what happened just now... will die!"

Looking at his sinister expression, everyone trembled in fear.

Kneeling down and kowtowed, "We heard nothing."

Mu Jinnian was quite satisfied with their words, waved his sleeves and turned to leave.

It seems that he has to think of a solution carefully. He is afraid that he can no longer stay in the capital.

Mu Jinnian glanced at Old Lady Mu with a complicated look.

What Mu Yunyao knows, His Majesty will know sooner or later. I'm afraid he has already been targeted.

It seems there is only one way to escape.

Mu Jinnian seemed to have made a decision in his mind, but Old Lady Mu was completely unaware of it.

After coming back to her senses from being beaten by Mu Yunyao again, she looked at Mu Jinnian and started crying.

"Look at what a thing you gave birth to. I am her grandmother. Just because she becomes a princess, does that mean she can stop acknowledging her grandmother?"

"Okay, this isn't the first time she's hit you, can't you just be quiet and not provoke her?"

Mu Jinnian was also helpless. His mother was just stupid.

"You've been beaten by her so many times, why are you still going to challenge her?

Even before she became a princess, she dared to attack you. Why do you think she will take you seriously now that she is a princess? "

Every word Mu Jinnian spoke was like a knife stabbing old lady Mu's heart.

She hated herself for giving birth to such a useless son.

If she had known earlier, she should have dumped him long ago and kept Jin Shun by her side, so that her life would not be like this.

Mu Jinnian saw the regret in Old Mrs. Mu's eyes.

He also understood his mother. Mu Jinnian could see at a glance what she was thinking, which made him more certain of his previous thoughts.

After Mu Yunyao returned to the courtyard, she said to Qingyun.

"Let someone check. I haven't been in the capital for the past few months. What happened to the Mu family?"

She didn't believe that after what happened, Mu Jinnian would still be nice to Old Lady Mu and keep her alive and well.

With that man's cruelty, he was able to leave her alive and let her live in this world because he was reluctant to give up his official career and did not want to return to his hometown to mourn his father.

"Yes, slave, go right away."

Qingyun bent her knees slightly, responded, and then retreated.

In just fifteen minutes, she returned to the house with another cup of tea.

"Master, I have found out everything."

Mu Yunyao took the teacup, took a sip, and knocked on the table to signal her to continue.

Qingyun continued.

"It is said that two months ago, a monk came to the mansion. After staying there for half a month, the old lady's illness was cured."

"Does anyone know the identity of that monk? Which temple is he from? Does he have a certificate of ordination?"

Qingyun shook her head. "Since that monk came to the Prime Minister's Mansion, some of the old people in the mansion have been sold off. Now the servants in the mansion are those who have just bought into the mansion."

She was able to find out all this because she had bribed a few servants in the concubine's courtyard.

Those people don't know much.

Mu Yunyao frowned in confusion. She had just come back and saw a few familiar faces. She meant that not all the servants in this mansion had been replaced.

So what does it mean that they replaced those elderly people who had served them for many years? Could it be that those elderly people knew something?

But if this is true, given Mu Jinnian's ruthlessness, he should have killed the person to silence him instead of selling him out.

It seems that they didn't know whether those people would know anything, so they chose to sell them out instead of silencing them.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, Mu Jinnian really has no money and sells people out to make up for the loss.

Regardless of the reason, Mu Yunyao felt it was necessary to investigate. She might find the information she wanted.

Thinking of this, Mu Yunyao said.

"Tell Xingchen to find those people and ask them what they know."

"Yes."

Qingyun responded and left. Mu Yunyao picked up the teacup and sipped it slowly.

By the way, think about what she should do about the Mu family’s affairs?

Although she hated Mu Jinnian, there was one thing he was right about.

If the fact that he was involved with the King of the Southwest were to be exposed, it would definitely not be a good thing for them.

She was not worried about herself. She would not think it was a big deal even if the emperor took away her title of princess.

The world is so big, and she has never thought of staying in Da Qi forever. When things here are settled, she wants to go somewhere else and go out to sea on a merchant ship to see the world on the other side of the sea.

However, she also has a brother who is an official appointed by the court and a military general, and is the person most likely to be suspected.

Even though the current emperor is a wise ruler, there are still factional struggles in the court.

Even without any evidence, he would be easily attacked, let alone if people knew that his father was related to the rebels.

Mu Yunyao felt that maybe it was time to think of other solutions.

Mu Yunyao stayed at the Mu family for two days. During these two days, her courtyard was exceptionally quiet, and no one came to cause trouble for her.

But there was one very strange thing. On the night she came back, Old Mrs. Mu fell ill. At first she just had a headache, but in the past two days she had difficulty getting out of bed.

Qingyun also heard some rumors that the old lady was still scolding her while lying in bed.

They said she was a disaster star and was born to bring bad luck to others.

If I had known this earlier, I should have strangled her when she was born instead of sending her to the countryside.

When Mu Yunyao heard this, something flashed through her mind.

It seems like some things are about to have answers.

However, she didn't have the heart to think about these things now, because the day had come to set Chen Qinghui's bones.

Mu Yunyao was wearing a sterilized linen overall, gloves on her hands, and a cloth covering her face, leaving only her eyes exposed.

Chen Qinghui's leg bones were crooked. If he wanted to stand up again, he had to first break the crooked leg bones, then straighten them and fix them again, and then connect the broken tendons.

It is not difficult to set bones, but breaking bones is difficult. If the broken bones are located in the wrong place, not only will his leg not be cured, but it is likely to cause secondary injuries to him.

Mu Yunyao originally wanted to let Qingyun do it because Qingyun knew kung fu and had great strength. But after she found a few pig leg bones and asked her to try it, she found that she was still too naive.

Although she could break bones easily, her control over strength was not so precise.
