The daughter of the prime minister died tragically and was reborn to kill people everywhere

When Liuyun heard that it was not a serious matter, he didn't take it to heart anymore.

The carriage continued to move forward, and Princess Liuyun finally asked the questions in her mind.

"Yun Yao, how did you know that Zhao Xuan had a mistress?"

Mu Yunyao looked into her eyes with a hint of meaning in them. After a long while, she sighed and said.

"That woman is not his mistress."

Princess Liuyun is even more confused now?

"If not a concubine, then what is it? She already calls Zhao Xuanxuanlang? Could it be that the child is not Zhao Xuan's?"

Seeing a hint of expectation in her eyes, Mu Yunyao couldn't bear to disappoint her.

But in order to prevent her from being tricked by others in the future, Mu Yunyao decided to let her experience the dangers of this world.

"That woman is Zhao Xuan's first wife from his hometown."

Seeing Liuyun subconsciously reaching out to cover her mouth which was wide open in shock, Mu Yunyao raised her hand, grabbed her wrist and pulled it away.

This is just the beginning, there are more surprises for her to come.

"Do you remember the old woman who just stopped us from entering? Was she very surprised and panicked when she first saw you?"

Liuyun thought about it and it seemed that this was really the case.

She felt strange at the time, wondering how the old woman knew her.

Seeing her confused face, Mu Yunyao simply told her everything she knew.

"That's Zhao Xuan's aunt. The young lady who is giving birth is from Zhang's family. The old woman was sold to the Zhang family when she was young and served in the courtyard of young lady Zhang.

Because she had served the Zhang family for a long time and was matched with a servant boy in the family, people called her Mrs. Zhang after her husband's surname.

This aunt had no children, and Zhao Xuan lost both his parents when he was young. It was this aunt who raised him and sent him to school.

He was really hardworking and won the third place in the imperial examination when he was in his twenties.

But Mrs. Zhang was just a servant who sold herself, and her husband’s family didn’t have enough money to support a scholar.

The two men then set their sights on the young lady of the host family.

Zhao Xuan was indeed well-educated and handsome. Without anyone knowing about their relationship, Mrs. Zhang secretly took Miss Zhang to meet Zhao Xuan several times, and she fell deeply in love with him.

Zhao Xuan had some abilities and someone was planning for him, so it wasn't a big deal for him to marry Miss Zhang.

However, the Zhang family had only one daughter, and Zhao Xuan had no parents, so he thought of marrying a daughter-in-law.

Zhao Xuan also had his own little thoughts. Although he agreed to marry into the wife's family, he refused to hold a big banquet on the grounds of the imperial examination. The family just had a meal, and he and Miss Zhang got married in front of Mr. Zhang and his wife.

He didn't even tell the Zhang family that Mrs. Zhang was his aunt.

After getting married, he brought Miss Zhang, several servants, the money funded by the Zhang family, and Miss Zhang's dowry to Beijing for the exam.

The house in Xuanpingfang was bought by Miss Zhang with her dowry.

He bought a house somewhere else on the pretext that he wanted to concentrate on preparing for the exam, and he also told others that he was still married.

Miss Zhang was also aware of this, but she thought that he was afraid that his status as a son-in-law would make people look down on him, so she would not take the initiative to look for him on weekdays.

Even if we meet, pretend not to know each other.

But judging from the look on Mrs. Zhang's face, he was afraid that she had already told her that the Emperor intended to marry him to Princess Liuyun.

I'm afraid Mrs. Zhang has already asked around, or even seen County Lady Liuyun from afar, otherwise she wouldn't have this reaction.

Mu Yunyao's words made Princess Liuyun feel cold on her back. How could there be such a person in this world?

If His Majesty really grants the marriage, how will he deal with Miss Zhang? Keep her as a concubine outside, or bring her into the mansion to treat her as an equal to him?

Liuyun didn't dare to think about it at all. Seeing how anxious Zhao Xuan was when Miss Zhang was giving birth, it seemed that he had some feelings for Miss Zhang.

So when that time comes, how should I deal with the deep love between them as a young couple?

The more Lady Liuyun thought about it, the more horrified she felt. At the same time, she felt sorry for Miss Zhang who had also been deceived.

"How do you know these things about Yunyao?"

After all, she is a girl who grew up in the palace, so she has the necessary scheming. The fact that she asked so directly instead of asking someone to investigate also shows that she is willing to trust Mu Yunyao.

Mu Yunyao had guessed that she would ask, and had already prepared an answer in her mind.

Instead of answering, he asked, "Do you know about the Qiu family?"

Princess Liuyun was a little puzzled. How could Zhao Xuan be related to the Qiu family? Could it be that he had something to do with the Qiu family's case?

Thinking this way, I asked the question.

"Is he related to the Qiu family's affairs?"

After knowing Zhao Xuan's character, Princess Liuyun unconsciously thought the worst of him.

Mu Yunyao shook her head. "No, he can't reach a behemoth like the Qiu family."

Mu Yunyao's words aroused the curiosity of Liuyun County Lord, and she hurriedly grabbed her hand and asked more questions.

"Tell me, how is he related to the Qiu family?"

"The Qiu family's affairs have made all the wealthy merchants in Daqi feel insecure. The county lady should also know that although my grandfather's Shen family has kept a low profile in recent years, it can still be ranked among the top ten."

Princess Liuyun thought to herself that you are too modest. Only the Shen family knows how much resources they have provided to the court over the years.

When Shen was in power, all these things were out in the open. Since there was no one from the Shen family in the court, these commendations naturally fell on Shen and Mu Jinnian, which could be considered as the Shen family paving the way for them.

But ever since Shen passed away, everyone else thought that these things had ended, but in fact, they were just turning from obvious to hidden.

Otherwise, would the Queen Mother easily agree to interfere in the matter of Shen’s dowry?

She should not have known all this, but she had been with the empress dowager for a long time and was able to discover some clues.

Liu Yun did not rush to urge her, but waited quietly for Mu Yunyao to continue.

“After I returned to Beijing, I was always worried about the safety of the Shen family. My mother left me a lot of money, so I took some out and went to Qianxue Tower to buy some information.

They discovered that the orphan of the Qiu family was hiding in the house next to Miss Zhang in Xuanpingfang.

I was able to find out what I could, and I thought that if someone knew that there were still people alive in the Qiu family, they would find them sooner or later.

It's not safe for them to live here anyway. Those people never leave anyone alive. It's amazing that someone from the Qiu family managed to escape. Maybe he has some clues.

Rather than waiting for those people to come and kill him, I sent him to a safer place."

When Liuyun heard this, he suddenly remembered something.

"Minister of Punishment, hand the man over to Governor Xiao."

No wonder His Majesty told the Queen Mother some time ago that Xiao Qianmo had found the orphan of the Qiu family, and this unsolved case should be about to be solved.

It turned out that she was the one who sent the people from the Qiu family over there.

Mu Yunyao smiled and nodded. She admitted that she had selfish motives.

Even though entering the Ministry of Punishment might be a bit hard, it is certainly safer than staying in Xuanpingfang, isn't it?

It's better to have Xiao Qianmo helping him investigate than to do it alone.

At least, he wouldn't be seriously injured because of being chased and almost cause a mother and son to die in the fire.
