The whole family is reborn, and their five-year-old child becomes the darling of the entire capital.

"Alright, now that you've confirmed it, move the body away." Yunnan waved his hand, wanting to end the matter as quickly as possible.

Xiao Xian must have had a reason for killing these two people.

Moreover, the reason must be related to Yu Xi.

It is highly likely that the First Madam harbored ill intentions towards Yu Xi, which is why he took action to warn her.

Moreover, the fact that two people were killed but the First Madam was left untouched is most likely because she was pregnant.

In his past life, he was someone who would never lay a hand on pregnant women or children.

"General Mu, isn't it a bit too quick of you to discard me after I've served my purpose? Could it be that General Mu knows who did it?"

Although Xie Yaochuan usually appears as a carefree playboy, he has exceptional observational skills; otherwise, he wouldn't have been allowed into the Dali Temple as an exception.

"Besides that bald fifth brother, who else would be so bored as to go to such lengths to scare a child born out of wedlock from the Mu family?"

Bald Fifth Prince was the nickname Mu Yunnan gave to the Fifth Prince of Nasha. She had cut off a piece of the Fifth Prince's head, so he always wore many braids to cover that spot.

Xie Yaochuan nodded indifferently, then turned and instructed, "Clean these up. Make sure to leave a clean place for the Duke of Mu's mansion."

After giving his instructions, he smiled and nodded at Mu Yunnan, "General Mu, farewell."

Xie Yaochuan turned and left, the smile on his face vanishing instantly.

Mu Yunnan definitely knows something.

If that person really had such power, he would have stormed the Ministry of Justice long ago and rescued their people. Why would he need to use such a roundabout method?

A large group of people arrived at the Dali Temple, only to leave in the same large group after finding nothing.

With such an incident occurring in the First Madam's courtyard, she had already moved to Concubine Min's room to rest during her pregnancy, leaving the courtyard practically deserted.

Mu Yunnan pondered for a moment, feeling that the matter had happened suddenly, but still decisively pushed open the door and entered the First Madam's room.

As expected of a merchant's daughter, the interior of her house is even more magnificent than her own.

It seems that Aunt Min also got quite a few good things from her.

I heard that they're planning to get the eldest son a government position recently.

Ha, you really know how to dream big.

Mu Yunnan scanned the entire room, finally walking to the dressing table. He reached out and opened the box on the table, lifting one layer inside, and sure enough, there was a hidden compartment.

It was only in her past life that she saw Yu Xi hiding hidden weapons here, and that's when she learned that such things existed.

Sure enough, upon opening it, several small bottles came into view.

Mu Yunnan silently packed up his belongings, put everything back in its place, and left leisurely.

She had previously suspected that the eldest madam had poisoned Xi, but she had handled the matter so thoroughly that there was no evidence.

What's strange is that this woman didn't poison Yun Chao, but instead poisoned Yu Xi, who wouldn't affect her position. It was really unnecessary.

Feng Yue took the bottle Mu Yunnan gave her, opened it, and immediately closed it. She then took several other bottles, her expression somewhat strange.

Where did you get these?

Seeing her strange expression, Mu Yunnan asked with some confusion, "Is there something wrong with this thing?"

Feng Yue gripped the bottle tightly. "Do you know about the Jade Lan Kingdom ten years ago?"

"Jade railing?"

Jade Lan was a country that suddenly disappeared ten years ago. Almost overnight, the entire royal family vanished, and the next day news came that Jade Lan had been destroyed by Na Sha.

"This country is famous for its spices, especially for their fragrances and poisons. Here are a few that I saw when I was studying medicine, but they have been lost for a long time. They all come from Yulan."

Mu Yunnan initially thought it was just ordinary poison, but it turned out to be related to the destroyed Yulan Kingdom.

The eldest son's wife?

Mu Yunnan thought about it carefully for a long time. She only remembered that she was drowned in a pig cage in her previous life, and she couldn't even remember what her name was.

I have absolutely no recollection of it.

Feng Yue handed the bottles and jars back to Mu Yunnan, saying, "I will pretend I knew nothing about this, Second Miss, please rest assured."

Yunnan is a military general; he's good at marching and fighting, but if you just use your brain to think about these complicated things, you'll get nothing but headaches.

But one thing is clear.

We can always find something by having someone keep a close eye on the First Madam's every move.

-

"The First Madam's pregnancy is stable, but..."

Physician Qin was brought along by the Dali Temple officials, so we decided to have him examine the First Madam's condition.

The old lady paused slightly while chanting Buddhist prayers and looked up at him.

Aunt Min rushed forward immediately, "Has something happened to my grandson?"

The imperial physician ignored her, only slightly turning his body to avoid physical contact.

This is terrible! How could this concubine of the Mu family be so ill-mannered?

"Go on," the old lady said, looking at him quietly.

It seems we need to find a way to separate the eldest son's family. One thing after another, all of them revolve around the wife the eldest son married.

"Judging from her pulse, it seems that she has been taking medications to induce and prevent miscarriage for a long time. The two medications have conflicting effects, which is a serious taboo!"

Before the old lady could speak, Concubine Min started wailing again, "I told you, there are people in this mansion who can't stand that I had a grandson first, so they're secretly framing me! Liu Xiang! Was it you?!"

Liu Xiang was a sickly beauty, and upon hearing this, she immediately stood up and hurriedly knelt on the ground.

She had been bedridden for two or three months and had just started to feel better when this happened. She rushed to the old lady's place, only to be suddenly burdened with this huge mess.

"Madam, please understand. I have been ill ever since my miscarriage three months ago, and I had absolutely no intention of harming an unborn child!" Liu Xiang knelt on the ground with tears in her eyes, a truly pitiful sight.

"You're convinced I killed your child! You want to harm my grandson, you're a vicious woman! You're always putting on an act! A mere courtesan, truly despicable..."

"Xu Min." The old lady covered Xiao Yuxi's ears and looked coldly at Aunt Min.

Aunt Min was taken aback and looked at the old lady with a wronged expression.

The old lady would never call them by their names unless she was extremely angry.

When Aunt Min saw the little girl in her arms, she knew that her slip of the tongue had caused this situation, so she immediately fell silent.

Mu Chi, who was being held in his wet nurse's arms, started crying loudly when he saw his aunt crying.

The Duchess glanced at the child and said, "Aunt Liu, please discipline Chi-ge'er more. What kind of behavior is it for a boy to cry like this?"

Liu Xiang quickly got up and hugged her child, patting his back reassuringly, "I will discipline him more carefully."

Mu Yunchen was not afraid of dead people at all. In his previous life, he was pulled out of a pile of dead bodies on the battlefield by Sister Xi. It was just two dead people, but they were so scared.

Mu Yunchen quietly squeezed over to the old lady's side and used a long stick to tease Xixi in her grandmother's arms.

Xi Xi looked over with her round eyes, and after seeing that it was a stick, she belatedly realized that she had forgotten something today.
