Mu Qingcheng returned to her room and started doing chemical experiments with simple ceramic tools, staying awake all night.

When it was almost dawn, she finally succeeded in extracting pure "hyoscyamine" that was like water. This thing was extremely toxic and could not be used directly. It needed to be diluted into liquid concentration.

However, Mu Qingcheng was stumped by the exact dosage. Although Yuan Zhi had specified the dosage in the treatment plan, she had no precise measuring equipment and could not determine the dosage.

What should I do? Mu Qingcheng thought about catching a few mice for experiments. But, it's a bit disgusting!

It was almost dawn, and Mrs. Lin should have gotten up by now. Mu Qingcheng quietly came to the door of the main house. She wanted to talk to Mrs. Lin because she thought she should know Yuan Zhi, and she urgently needed to know how Yuan Zhi achieved such precision.

Just as Mu Qingcheng was about to knock on the door, she heard someone whispering inside. It seemed that Mrs. Lin had something to do. She turned around and wanted to leave, but at that moment, she heard sobbing and crying coming from the room.

What was going on? Mu Qingcheng's curiosity got the better of her moral compass. She squatted down, pressed her ear to the crack in the door, and listened carefully.

"...What should I do? Wuuuuu...wuuuu...These two brothers have suffered enough. Back then, we couldn't intervene to help Ayi and had to watch him die of illness. Now, do we have to watch these two brothers suffer like this again without being able to intervene? Wuuuuu...wuuuu...My heart is about to break. When will this day end?"

"Madam... Madam! You are here again... What's the point of crying like this? Don't let anyone find out, otherwise it will not be just an injury, it will be fatal..." This was the voice of Fang Shuli, the village chief, and he spoke in a deliberately low voice.

Sure enough, Mrs. Lin’s crying was no longer heard.

Fang Shuli continued to persuade: "Madam! I think our chances have turned around."

"What's the turning point?"

"That's Miss Mu! What do you think?"

"We don't know Miss Mu's origins, but I think she is very unusual!"

"Hehehe...yes, I also think she is very unusual."

"Jingnian, do you think Miss Mu looks like Miss Yuan?" (Jingnian is Fang Shuli's pen name.)

There was silence in the room for a moment. "Madam, are you saying that she can understand Miss Yuan's handwriting?"

"That's one thing. I just think their temperaments are very similar. I've never seen anyone else with that ability to remain calm in the face of danger and to remain composed in the face of adversity!"

Mu Qingcheng felt very happy when she heard people praising her behind her back. She regretted eavesdropping on their conversation and thought she shouldn't have been eavesdropping. Just as she was about to leave, she heard a shocking piece of gossip.

"Speaking of Miss Yuan, I'm reminded of the war that raged over twenty years ago. Southern Yan attacked Northern Qi, and Crown Prince Shaojun personally led the army to Qingle County. That battle was so difficult! Countless soldiers and civilians were killed or wounded. If Miss Yuan hadn't intervened, I'm afraid even more people would have died.

Back then, Miss Yuan was always calm and composed when she stood before the bloody wounded. Even that high and mighty man couldn't move her in the slightest! From this point of view, they are indeed very similar?"

What what what!!! The father of Prince Yunqing of Shaojun had also been here... more than 20 years ago... and met Yuan Zhi here.

Then, this Yuan Zhi, Yuan Zhi… Mu Qingcheng screamed frantically in her heart, and thought of the jade lotus hairpin engraved with “Yuan Zhi Li Lan”, could it be Yuan Zhi’s???

Mu Qingcheng touched her head anxiously. There was nothing in her bun. How could she have lost such an important lotus hairpin at this time? If she had the lotus hairpin, she would have rushed in to ask for clarification.

If the person that Prince Shaojun likes is Yuan Zhi, then doesn't that mean she must be Yun Qing's mother?

But! Mu Qingcheng was confused again - who is Zhixi?

Just as Mu Qingcheng was stunned, the conversation in the room continued!

"So, letting Fang Bo leave with her might really be a turning point."

"No, no... I don't agree!" Mrs. Lin suddenly raised her voice.

"Madam, don't get excited! I think Miss Mu is a kind-hearted girl. Fang Bo saved her life. Miss Mu will definitely help Fang Bo out of gratitude for saving her life. We should give it a try."

"No, no, no, no, we can't do that. How can we involve an innocent person? The two brothers should stay in Fangjia Village..."

"Madam, you were just worried about the two children. This is a rare turning point! If Fang Bo can leave Fangjia Village, he might be able to escape from the sea of ​​suffering."

"Jingnian, have you forgotten how we got here? Have you forgotten that Ajin wanted to escape from here his entire life and ultimately died with hatred in his heart? If we stay, there's someone else who will continue the family line. Once we leave, how could those people let him go..."

"Madam, we can take the long view on this matter. Now is our chance. Fang Bo is seriously injured. We can tell everyone that he is recovering from his injuries. When Miss Mu is about to leave, I will secretly put him in Miss Mu's carriage and let him leave without anyone noticing. We can keep it a secret for as long as possible. By the time others find out, the two of them will have disappeared, and those people will have no way to find out."

After a while, without hearing any response from Mrs. Lin, Fang Shuli continued, "We just need to tell Miss Mu not to reveal her origins, so that no one will know where they went."

"Jingnian! Have you forgotten that Abo...what if he doesn't want to leave?"

"I'll go talk to him and tell him my life story if necessary."

"Hey! I watched Abo grow up, and I know his temper. If he knew his life story, he would never leave his brother."

"Then find a way to get them to leave together."

The room fell silent again!

Mu Qingcheng's heart was pounding with emotion and she fell into deep thought. The identity of this Fang Bo brother must be extraordinary.

Mu Qingcheng thought of the similar faces of the Fang Bo brothers again. Their appearance and behavior must have been influenced by their father. They really didn't look like country bumpkins.

Speaking of appearance, these two people looked very familiar to her. She had only been here a short time and didn't know many people, so they couldn't be the ones she met here. Could she have met them in the future?

Just as Mu Qingcheng was in a daze, there was movement in the east wing.

Mu Qingcheng quickly stood up and prepared to leave, but her legs were numb from squatting for so long that she almost fell. She gritted her teeth and limped towards her room. Just as she reached the middle of the yard, she heard the door to the main house open.

Mu Qingcheng turned around quickly again and walked towards the main room pretending nothing had happened.

It was Fang Shuli who opened the door. He looked up and saw Mu Qingcheng walking towards him: "Hey! Miss Mu? Why are you up so early?"

Mu Qingcheng walked over slowly and said, "Good morning, Village Chief Fang! I haven't slept all night yet! I finally found the antidote."

"Oh! That's great!" Fang Shuli slapped his thigh excitedly. "Thank you for your hard work, girl. Come on, come with me to eat. After dinner, you should have a good rest! Don't overwork yourself."

Mu Qingcheng smiled and said, "No hurry, no hurry. I have something to ask Madam Lin. It won't be too late to go to dinner after we finish talking."

Just as the two were talking, the door of the east wing suddenly opened and Fang Xueyun rushed out like a gust of wind.

She tightly grasped Mu Qingcheng's hand and asked in a trembling voice, "Sister Mu, have you... have you really made the antidote?"

Mu Qingcheng quickly comforted her, "Sister Xueyun, don't worry. The antidote has indeed been made, but..."

Before she could finish her words, she saw Madam Lin coming out of the main room. Her steps were a little slow, but her face was anxious, but she was much calmer than Fang Xueyun.

"Since Miss Mu is here, please come with me and sit inside. Old man, go prepare breakfast! Big girl, please go back to your room. It's so unbecoming of you to be so reckless!"
