"Miss Murong, I don't know what you mean?" Shui Haotian looked at Murong with a face full of temptation, "You admit that you broke into Ruolan's yard before and seriously injured her? "
"That's right, we did this." Murong shrugged and said indifferently, "Since I did it, there's nothing to deny."
Although she didn't personally take action on this matter, Jue did the same, just like her. Since they dared to take action directly on the Shui family's territory, they would certainly not be afraid to admit it.
Murong Qingyan answered so bluntly, but it made everyone's heart a little doubtful and unbelievable. They haven't seen a single person who admits it like this after hurting someone.
"Miss Murong, then I don't know why you do this?" After all, Shui Lihe had seen a lot of the world, he looked at Murong and asked, "You hurt her, there must be a reason! "
He could see that this Huangfu Jue and Murong Qingyan were not ordinary people. Although he didn't know the way they did things, he could see that these two were not unreasonable people, so they definitely wouldn't hurt Nanfeng Ruolan for no reason.
"Actually, it's very simple!" Murong's face curled into a small smile, and then continued, "Because when she sent someone to hunt down Lingxin, I happened to be with Lingxin. Of course, I This action is not to avenge the soul, but because I was also seriously injured in that one time."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes immediately focused on Nanfeng Ruolan.
"Nanfeng Ruolan, is what she said true?" When Shui Haotian looked at Nanfeng Ruolan, the tenderness of the past was long gone, and his eyes flashed with a chill, "Did you send someone to chase after him? Killing the soul?"
After this incident happened, the first thing he suspected was Nanfeng Ruolan, but because so many things happened later, he gradually gave up the idea. But now he has heard such news. To be honest, he has no doubts about the authenticity of Murong's face.
Because there was no need for Murong Qingyan to lie to him, after all, Murong Qingyan was also one of the victims in this matter.
"Father, you can't just listen to Murong's face!" Shui Lingshan stood up and said, "Mother is not that kind of person, they must be trying to frame her."
"You step back first." Shui Haotian said coldly, "Now there is no place for you to speak."
"Father, I—" Shui Lingshan opened her mouth to say something, but she had to close her mouth under Shui Haotian's indifferent eyes, but her worried eyes kept falling on Nanfeng Ruolan.
"Husband, this matter is none of my business." Nanfeng Ruolan raised her head and looked at Shui Haotian, her eyes filled with determination, "I didn't find someone to hunt down Lingxin."
Seeing Nanfeng Ruolan's determined expression, Shui Haotian did not believe it. After all, Nanfeng Ruolan had already learned from the past. Moreover, so many things happened today, which also let him know that his wife is definitely not as gentle and generous as she seems on the surface.
"Actually, there's no need for you to react so much!" At this moment, Murong Qingyan spoke up again, "To be honest, it's not me who attacked Nanfeng Ruolan, but Jue. But, I thought all of you should know about this!"
"Miss Murong, what are you trying to say?" When Shui Haotian looked at Murong, there was a hint of displeasure in his eyes, "Are you provoking our Shui family?"
For a long time, because he really couldn't see through Huangfu Jue's inscrutable cultivation, and he couldn't figure out the origins of these two people, he always treated them with courtesy. But this does not mean that he is really afraid of these two people. In any case, he is the head of the Shui family, and now he is very displeased when faced with such provocative behavior by Murong Qingyan.
"Patriarch Shui, I didn't provoke you at all." Facing Shui Haotian's cold face, the expression on Murong's face did not change in any way, she said with a smile, "It's just that I went to attack Nanan. When we were in Feng Ruolan, we didn't have any pretense. So, no one else would say it, but Nan Feng Ruolan knew for sure that we did it. So, I thought you already knew!"
When speaking, Murong's face was sincere, and it seemed that there was no provocation at all. It seemed that she was really just curious about this matter.
As soon as these words came out, Nan Feng Ruolan's face became even paler, and she looked like she was about to faint at any moment. She felt that all the things that happened today were directed at her. She really didn't know how to deal with what was going to happen next.
After listening to Murong Qingyan's words, Shui Haotian's face became even more ugly. When he looked at Nanfeng Ruolan, his eyes almost seemed to want to kill someone.
At this time, he couldn't help thinking of Nanfeng Ruolan's unusual behaviors. Also, if it wasn't for Nanfeng Ruolan's reminder, he wouldn't suspect the enemy of the Shui family.
Now that I think about it, it seems that Nanfeng Ruolan can guide all of this! If the person who shot at Nanfeng Ruolan was really Huangfu Jue, then the person who shot at Lingxin would probably be Nanfeng Ruolan. However, Huangfu Jue was able to have such a cultivation, he could come and go freely in the Shui family, and even when he hurt Nanfeng Ruolan, no one noticed.
For a while, towards Nanfeng Ruolan, Shui Haotian's heart rushed to a burst of disgust.
"Husband, I—" Facing Shui Haotian's disappointment, Nanfeng Ruolan's heart was like being cut by a knife.
She doesn't know how she should defend herself now. She doesn't even know that if she speaks to defend herself, there are a few people who are willing to believe it.
"Come on, take the lady down first." Shuilihe said directly, "until the matter is clarified, send someone to protect the lady well, and there must be no mistakes."
Soon, a guard came in and took Nanfeng Ruolan out of the front hall directly.
Although Shui Lihe was talking about protection, everyone understood in their hearts. Everyone understands what this means. What he meant was very clear, that is, before the truth of the matter was found out, Nanfeng Ruolan had to be placed under house arrest and monitored.
Although Shui Qiankun and Shui Lingshan had the heart to speak for their mother, at this time, they also knew that no matter what they said was useless. Maybe it will only be self-defeating in the end, and even put myself in it.
Seeing that things were almost done, Murong Qingyan didn't have such a good interest to stay, so she got up directly, took Huangfu Jue's hand and left.
Although just now, Murong Qingyan had already admitted that the injuries on Nanfeng Ruolan were theirs. But even so, in the face of their departure, no one was able to stop them.
After returning to Shui Lingxin's courtyard, Huangfu Jue looked at Murong and said suddenly, "Now that Nanfeng Ruolan has been placed under house arrest, I believe that all the things she did will soon be known. What are your plans next?"
"What's next?" After hearing Huangfu Jue's words, the corner of Murong's face twitched into a smile, "Tonight, let's go to Nanfeng Ruolan's courtyard! I believe that after today's events, She should already know very well that she has no room to turn around. I think she should tell us everything she knows! "
Huangfu Jue had no objection to Murong's words.
After nightfall, some people are cultivating, while others are already resting. Nanfeng Ruolan's yard should have been a better yard in the Shui family. This yard is only second only to the yard of the old owner and the owner. Usually, even at night, the yard is brightly lit. However, this evening, only a few rooms in the yard were lit, and there were many fewer people serving them.
There is only a huge yard, which is a bit desolate because of the lack of popularity.
At this time, Nanfeng Ruolan was sitting in her room, her brows furrowed, and she kept thinking about what other way she could get rid of her current predicament.
I have to say that these things that happened today really caught her off guard, and it could even be said that she felt at a loss. But, fortunately, she still has some dark guards in her hands. At this time, Lan Yi and the others are her last yellow cards.
As long as her strength has not been fully exposed, she still has room to turn around. The most important thing for her now is to let Lan Yi find a way to stop the old family owner from continuing to investigate the incident back then. If that matter is really confirmed, then whether it is the head of the family or the head of the old family, he will never let her go.
Thinking of this, Nanfeng Ruolan took out a whistle or something from her arms and blew it. Normally, this is how she communicates with Lan Yi.
However, what surprised her was that she had blown several times, but there was no movement at all.
For a time, Nanfeng Ruolan frowned. She looked at the whistle in her hand suspiciously, and began to wonder if the whistle in her hand was broken, or because of other reasons, Lan Yi was delayed, so she didn't make it in time. Come out to see her.
"Mrs. Shui, don't continue to blow. Before you blow, before your dark guards come, I'm afraid those guards will come first."
The sudden voice made Nanfeng Ruolan in the room startled, she jumped up immediately, looked around, and then said with a cold face, "Who on earth dares to play tricks here? Come out. , or I will kill you."
"Haha, Madam Shui is really powerful!"
With the sound of a light voice, there was a wave in the air, and the figures of Huangfu Jue and Murong appeared in the room like this.
Seeing the arrival of Huangfu Jue and Murong Qingyan, Nanfeng Ruolan became vigilant. She looked at the two people who suddenly appeared in front of her, with a trace of panic in her heart.
She didn't know why these two people suddenly appeared here, but she was sure that they were hostile to her. The last time, Huangfu Jue suddenly appeared in front of her like this, and then seriously injured her directly.
In her heyday before, she was not Huangfu Jue's opponent, let alone her who was seriously injured now! Moreover, now that there are two people, it is even more impossible for her to do anything.
Unlike Nanfeng Ruolan's enemy, Murong Qingyan looked very relaxed and at ease. She took Huangfu Jue's hand and found a place to sit down by herself, not even forgetting to pour herself a cup. Tea. It looks like it's in my own home.
Huangfu Jue didn't say a word, just looked at Murong's face, and didn't say anything. If it weren't for the fact that his presence was so strong, it would have been easy for people to ignore it.
"Miss Murong, this is my room, please leave immediately." Nanfeng Ruolan looked at Murong's face and said calmly, "Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."
After hearing Nanfeng Ruolan's words, Murong Qingyan not only didn't get angry, but instead asked back with a smile, "Then I don't know how you plan to be rude to me? I really want to see it! "
After hearing Murong Qingyan's words, Nanfeng Ruolan felt that she was about to vomit blood. She looked at Murong Qingyan and said through gritted teeth, "What exactly are you here for?"
She didn't know if Murong Qingyan came this time to seek revenge for her. Although before, Huangfu Jue had seriously injured her once. But she still couldn't fathom the mind of the young woman in front of her, and she didn't even know if Huangfu Jue really let her go like this.
"Actually, Mrs. Shui, you don't need to be so nervous." After drinking a sip of tea, Murong said with a smile, "I came here today just to ask you a few questions. I hope you can know everything. Words, words are endless."
After hearing Murong Qingyan's words, Nanfeng Ruolan's eyes flickered, she didn't know what Murong Qingyan meant. However, she always felt that Murong's purpose of showing her face should not be so simple.
Murong Qingyan didn't care what Nanfeng Ruolan was thinking, she said directly, "I just want to ask, where did the eighth-grade medicinal pill in your hand come from?"
"What?" Nanfeng Ruolan widened her eyes and looked at Murong Qingyan in disbelief, as if she didn't understand what Murong Qingyan was asking.
She was already prepared to deal with Murong Qingyan's various tricky questions, but she never expected that Murong Qingyan would ask such a question. Moreover, she has a lot of eight-grade medicinal herbs on her body, and it is impossible for others to know. This can almost be regarded as her secret, how could this Murong Qingyan know it
"I don't understand what you're talking about?" Nanfeng Ruolan's eyes wandered and she said, "What is the eighth-grade pill? If you need eighth-grade pills, then ask the Patriarch, I don't have anything."
"Hehe, Mrs. Shui, you don't think I'm joking with you!" Murong said with a sneer, "Since I asked you, you just need to answer honestly. Don't give me care here. About him."
In an accidental situation, she knew that Nanfeng Ruolan had a large amount of eighth-grade medicinal herbs on her body. However, this is not the key to attracting her attention. After all, Nanfeng Ruolan is the head mistress of the Shui family. Even if she has a lot of eighth-grade medicinal herbs on her body, it is not a big deal.
What caught her attention was that the breath on the medicine pill was very familiar, and it was clearly the medicine pill refined by the Chen family.
You must know that the medicinal pills refined by an alchemist will be more or less contaminated with the breath of some alchemists. There are even some alchemists who like to make a mark on their own medicinal pills!
When she inadvertently felt that familiar aura from Nanfeng Ruolan's body, she already had doubts in her heart. However, she also knew that even if she asked, Nanfeng Ruolan would not necessarily tell her. Moreover, this Nanfeng Ruolan is the head mistress of the Shui family, and she is not good at being strong to others. So, she is waiting for a suitable time to find out the truth of the matter.
Now is obviously a good time. With so many things happening, the Shui family is no longer Nanfeng Ruolan's umbrella.
"I didn't—" Nanfeng Ruolan was still reluctant to admit that she had medicinal pills on her body, but just as she spoke, she was directly interrupted by Murong's face.
"Mrs. Shui, since I ask you this way, it means that I am sure that you have a lot of eighth-grade medicinal herbs on you." Murong looked at Nanfeng Ruolan coldly, "I am just If you want to know the origin of these pills, you don’t have to be sloppy here. Also, don’t worry, I never thought of taking your pills away.”
She was sure that the medicinal pill on Nanfeng Ruolan definitely had the aura of someone from the Chen family. It's just, I don't know how Nanfeng Ruolan has a medicinal pill that is contaminated with the breath of the Chen family. She thought, could these be related to what happened to her parents back then
Nanfeng Ruolan looked at Murong Qingyan with a suspicious look in her eyes. She seemed to be weighing the truth of Murong Qingyan's words.
Facing Nanfeng Ruolan's hesitation, Murong Qingyan was not in such a good mood anymore, she said directly, "I am not asking you now, but ordering you to answer me. Of course, don't even think about it. Just say something to fool me, otherwise, you don't care about my anger on your child."
"What?" Nanfeng Ruolan felt like a cat whose tail was stepped on when she heard Murong's face to mention her child, and jumped up, "I warn you, don't try to hurt Qiankun and Qiankun. Lingshan, otherwise, I would never let you go."
"Don't let me go?" After hearing Nanfeng Ruolan's words, Murong Qingyan seemed to have heard a joke, "How do you think you can not let me go? You are about to become a prisoner now. Do you still have the guts to tell me this?"
"Hmph, it's not because of you that I've become like this." Thinking of what happened today, Nanfeng Ruolan gritted her teeth with hatred, "If it wasn't for your help, Shui Lingxin wouldn't have known it. so many things."
"Then you're wrong." Murong shrugged her shoulders and said amusingly, "The reason why you have become what you are today is your own fault and nothing to do with anyone else. However, the next thing, I'm not going to take care of it anymore. I just want to know the answer."
Nanfeng Ruolan's eyes kept rolling, as if she was thinking about something.
After a long time, she finally spoke again, "If I told you how the eighth-pin pills on my body came from, would you be able to protect my two children for me? No matter what happens, I don't want to. Get involved with them."
Things have come to this point, although she is already trying to find a way to see if she can escape this disaster. However, her heart is not bottomless.
So no matter what happened, he just wanted to not involve his children.
After hearing Nanfeng Ruolan's words, Murong smiled and said, "Nanfeng Ruolan, are you out of your mind! I came here today not to negotiate terms with you. Don't forget that before. I haven't settled with you yet when the person you sent out seriously injured me?"
After hearing Murong's words, Nanfeng Ruolan suddenly raised her head, "But, haven't I paid the price for this? I almost died."
Just because of what hurt Murong's face, Huangfu Jue almost killed her. Although she was spared her life in the end, she was seriously injured, several times heavier than Murong Qingyan's injury. Even the bones of her whole body have been shattered. Although later taking the medicine pill made those broken bones grow back. However, the pain in this is that outsiders cannot understand.
Even now, the wounds on her body have not healed. Even just talking here, she could feel the pain coming from her body.
But now Murong Qingyan said, she has not paid the price for it
"Indeed!" Murong shrugged and said with a smile, "It's Jue who hurt you, not me. So, how can this be said to be a price to pay? However, considering that you have already suffered For the sake of serious injury, I won't bother with you for the time being. You just need to tell me what I want to know."
After pondering for a while, Nanfeng Ruolan gritted her teeth, and finally said, "I do have a lot of eighth-grade medicinal herbs on me, but they were given to me by the current head mistress of the Beiying family."
