Origin System, I have a barren mountain

Cheng Yunmo didn't want to say much to Ning Yatou, but unexpectedly, he saw the servant boy next to Lord Liu again.

When he arrived again, the other person acted as if he didn't want anyone to know he was there.

Although Cheng Yunmo felt a little strange, he didn't say anything and just looked at the person Ning Yatou brought. He didn't notice anything special about this person.

Then, at Ning's suggestion, the person who came directly drew several pictures.

Cheng Yunmo was looking at the picture, not yet realizing what it was, when she noticed the servant beside Lord Liu looking away with a strange expression.

It was already clear the servant had something to say, and now his gaze...

Unexpectedly, Cheng Yunmo followed the gaze and saw another maid, Xia, who was also Qing Mama's most trusted maid.

However, quite by chance, a servant boy next to Lord Liu mentioned this girl, Xia, to her.

This girl's ability to get things done and her decisive personality are highly valued by Granny Qing. However, this Xia girl is someone who only believes in strength. She will only truly care about someone whose strength makes her feel respect.

Back then, Granny Qing had put in a lot of effort for this girl Xia, and it was because of their mutual support in the palace that Xia became so loyal to Granny Qing.

But now that Granny Qing is locked up, Xia Yatou has no chance to say a few words to her, which has led to the current situation.

This girl Xia arrived, but instead of coming in directly, she quietly hid away. No one knew what she meant by that.

With this matter on his mind, Cheng Yunmo was somewhat absent-minded when looking at the paper.

Ning was completely unaware that the young imperial advisor's mind had already wandered off, so she didn't notice any different feeling in the painting on the paper.

So, they directly asked the people who brought them to leave.

Ning Yatou returned after sending the person out, without seeing that the person who went out had just been about to leave when several people surrounded him and beat him to death in a short while.

It all happened so fast that no one had time to react, and by the time the screams started, it was too late.

Not to mention that by the time this matter reached Cheng Yunmo's ears, more than half a day had already passed.

Cheng Yunmo stared blankly at the scene, looking at the onlookers who were all staring at him silently, as if he were some strange person.

The servant stood in the crowd, and he understood that the dead must be related to this fight.

"Where is the murderer? Hasn't the murderer been caught either? Didn't any of them see the murderer?"

Cheng Yunmo's mind was empty, but he felt heavy-hearted, unable to let go of anything weighing on his mind.

Everyone knew Cheng Yunmo, just a minor imperial advisor. But now, they were worried that this incident might lead the incompetent Cheng Yunmo to believe that one of them was the murderer.

After everyone left, Cheng Yunmo looked at Ning Yatou, who was left behind, and the servant was watching her from not far away.

I understand, I understand everything.

Cheng Yunmo looked at Ning Yatou with a wry smile, "You're so focused on the old nanny, but you've forgotten your own place, haven't you?"

Ning looked at the young national teacher with disbelief, unable to believe that she had said those words.
