Tranquility was restored in Shihua Pavilion.
"Zixiang, are you okay?" After Su Biqing and the others left, Mu Yunjin glanced sideways at Zixiang's red and swollen face.
Zixiang shook her head, "It's good that Miss is fine."
"I have wronged you, I will get it back for you sooner or later." Mu Yunjin put away the phoenix tail whip, glanced at Zixiang, and sighed slightly.
Zixiang's face turned pale, she bit her lip, and frowned slightly, "Miss, these days, things haven't been peaceful at all, the eldest lady and the fourth lady, every day they change tricks to punish you, and they have done so much. Everything is aimed at you."
Hearing this, Mu Yunjin curled her lips slightly and smiled slightly, "Yeah, I can't even count how many things I have dealt with. It seems that they have really spent a lot of effort in order to prevent my marriage with Chu Li .”
"There are still a few days left, I don't know what else will happen, this servant really wishes that Miss would marry into the Sixth Prince's Mansion as soon as possible, and leave this place of right and wrong." Zixiang said.
Mu Yunjin pulled out a smile and didn't reply.
…
On the second day, news of Mu Yiyang's death came from Diehua City.
For a while, the streets and alleys were full of discussions again. Combined with what happened in Diehua City in the past two days, everyone soon pointed their finger at Mu Xiangfu.
Just as Mu Xiang came down to court, when he heard the news of Mu Yiyang's tragic death, he became furious, his throat was fishy and sweet, and he vomited a mouthful of blood.
At this time, Wei Hanqiao, who reported to the official at the first time, came in with a group of officers and soldiers. As soon as he entered the prime minister's mansion, he screamed, "Where is Mu Yunjin? She killed my son. Yang pays for his life!"
"What evidence do you have to prove that Yun Jin did it?" Su Biqing's face was sullen, her eyes were full of worry, and she occasionally showed success.
Wei Hanqiao was already close to hysteria, staring at Su Biqing, "I have someone to testify, I have already reported to the police, don't protect your daughter anymore! Your two daughters are all vixen, they killed my daughter." son!"
"Shut up! Your son almost defiled Zhu'er, do you still have the guts to say it?" Su Biqing retorted when she saw Wei Hanqiao scolding her daughter as a vixen.
At this time, Mu Yunjin, who heard the wind, came in from the back garden, followed by Mu Yunhan. When she saw Wei Hanqiao with disheveled hair and the officers and soldiers in the room, she frowned slightly.
"Mu Yunjin! You poisonous woman, you actually killed my son, you will die..." Wei Hanqiao rushed towards Mu Yunjin when he saw Mu Yunjin's figure.
Mu Yunhan stood in front of him, and mercilessly pushed Wei Hanqiao aside.
At this time, there was chaos in Mu Xiangfu. Outside the mansion, many people gathered to watch the excitement.
Just when the atmosphere was somewhat stalemate, a guard hurried in from outside the door, and said to the people in the room, "The emperor has issued an order for the matter of Er Shao Mu, and Chen Pu, Minister of Dali Temple, will decide the case. Now, please help me." Everyone in the government, go to Dali Temple for interrogation."
As soon as Dali Temple was disturbed, Wei Hanqiao smiled sadly, "Okay, okay, let's see who the heavens can get around this time!"
…
Dali Temple.
As soon as Mu Yunjin stepped into the interrogation room of Dali Temple, she was shocked by the "luxurious lineup" in the room.
I saw Chen Pu sitting on the interrogation platform in the center, with Empress Dowager Zheng and Concubine Qin sitting on the left and right respectively, and Chu Li, Chu Ye, Chu Qingqiang and Chu Qingyuan sitting on the side seats at the bottom.
It seems that this matter has completely become a big deal. After Mu Yunjin stood up, she subconsciously glanced in Chu Li's direction. Chu Li was rarely wearing a moon-white brocade robe today, and his whole body showed a sense of ease, but the cold air around him still remained undiminished.
Chu Li's gaze also faintly passed over Mu Yunjin's body, and then moved away, as if he hadn't seen it.
When Chen Pu saw that almost everyone in the Mu family was present, he couldn't help but feel pressured, so he called a few guards to bring some chairs, and then looked at Mu Yunjin apologetically.
"Third Miss, you are the biggest suspect today, so you need to stand up for interrogation and cannot sit down."
Mu Yunjin gave a casual hum, and glanced at Mu Yiyang's body which had been covered with a white cloth on the ground.
Concubine Qin sat in the main seat, looked at Mu Yunjin, and there was a trace of worry in her brows, so she didn't make a sound to interrupt, but just told Chen Pu, "Let's get started."
Chen Pu nodded.
"Wei Shi, when did you find out that the victim had been killed?" Chen Pu said, looking at Wei Hanqiao.
When Wei Hanqiao heard this, he burst into tears, and said dumbly, "When I got up this morning, I was going to deliver breakfast to Yiyang, but I knocked on the door for a long time without any movement. Then I felt something was wrong, so I opened the door and saw Yi Yang has already been killed."
"Then you keep accusing that Miss Mu was the murderer, do you have evidence?" Chen Pu continued.
Wei Hanqiao wiped away his tears and sniffed, "Combined with what happened in the past few days, who else can there be except her!"
"Wei Shi, what you say is groundless! If you can't produce any evidence, how can you have the confidence to testify that Jin'er was the murderer?" Princess Qin spoke for Mu Yunjin when she heard that Wei Hanqiao had no evidence at all.
Hearing this, Empress Dowager Zheng paused, glanced at Mu Lingzhu and Su Biqing who were sitting down, and then looked sideways at a clerk standing beside her.
"You just checked Er Shao Mu's body, did you find anything unusual?" Queen Mother Zheng said.
Wu Zuo, who was named, stood up and said in a clear voice, "The little one just inspected Mu Ershao's body for the first time. When he died, around four o'clock, the little one found Mu Ershao's neck. There was an extremely thin and deep wound, which must have been strangled to death by silk thread. Later, I tested Mu Ershao's blood and found that there were some aphrodisiac ingredients in the blood, which is a bit unbelievable."
"Aphrodisiac?" After Wu Zuo finished speaking, Su Biqing screamed, with a surprised expression on her face.
Wu Zuo glanced at Su Biqing and nodded.
After a pause, Su Biqing sat up, and said angrily, "Yesterday, in Diehua City, there were rumors that Yiyang and Zhu'er were having trouble in a teahouse. Later, I took Zhu'er back to the house, and the doctor also diagnosed that Zhu'er had died. Aphrodisiac drugs."
"If Mr. Chen doesn't believe it, you can take Zhu'er's blood and test it. I believe it can still be tested now."
Hearing this, Chen Pu frowned and nodded, and ordered the guards beside him, "Take Fourth Miss down for a blood test."
Mu Lingzhu was taken away.
Mu Yunjin stood on the spot without any expression on her face. Listening to the words just now, she said inwardly, what happened today is a big mess.
In about a cup of tea, the guards had already extracted Mu Lingzhu's blood. In the interrogation room, two assistants took turns to test the blood, and finally came to a conclusion—
"Miss Fourth does have medicinal ingredients in her blood."
After Wu Zuo finished his words, Wei Hanqiao sneered, "Okay, isn't this matter clear now? A few days ago, Yiyang revealed Mu Yunjin's unethical feelings. Mu Yunjin must be in a hurry to help I excused myself, so I cruelly gave Lingzhu and Yiyang aphrodisiacs, so as to divert their attention and throw the blame on Lingzhu."
Su Biqing and Mu Xiang couldn't refute Wei Hanqiao's words, so Su Biqing spoke first, with a look of disappointment in his eyes, "Yun Jin, is it really like what your second mother said, you just let yourself be excused? Is my sister your scapegoat?"
All eyes immediately turned to Mu Yunjin.
At this time, Mu Yunjin was watched by everyone, not only did she not show any cowardice, but she even raised her chin slightly, showing a bit of arrogance in her demeanor.
"I want to plead guilty and show the evidence! Otherwise, how would I know that Mu Yiyang and Mu Lingzhu have aphrodisiacs in their bodies, and they didn't want to have a good time beforehand?!"
Mu Yunjin's cold and arrogant words shocked everyone in the interrogation room again.
After hearing Mu Yunjin's words, Chu Li raised his eyebrows, his cold and indifferent eyes became brighter, and there was a faint smile on his face.
Concubine Qin also looked at Mu Yunjin in admiration, and then she also said, "Yes, unless you show evidence that Jin'er drugged her, it will be difficult to convince everyone based on conjecture."
"By the way, this princess heard two days ago that Second Young Master Mu came to the door and said that he had had an affair with Miss Mu San. That day, Miss Mu San was supposed to be taken away by some old ladies for a physical examination. First Young Master Mu came back suddenly, so he gave up on this matter. Therefore, it is indeed possible that Third Miss Mu killed Second Young Master Mu because of a guilty conscience." Fifth Princess Chu Qingqiang, who had been sitting on one side all the time, said calmly .
"My princess also heard that the Third Miss Mu and the Second Young Master Mu have had a grudge for a long time, and not long ago they even beat the Second Young Master Mu to a cripple. The Prime Minister should also know about this?"
Mu Xiang, who was named, had a pale face about this matter. Although his son was not up to date, he was still his own flesh and blood. Now that he died for no reason, he felt uncomfortable.
And the spearhead of this matter was directed at Mu Yunjin again, which reminded him of Mu Yunjin's abnormal behavior recently, and he secretly felt a little scared.
"Mu Xiang, is this really the case?" Queen Mother Zheng also asked aloud.
After a while, Mu Xiang put on a sad face and nodded, "It is true."
After a pause, Empress Dowager Zheng said, "Since Wu Zuo said that Er Shao Mu was strangled to death around the fourth watch, then Miss Mu San, do you have proof that you have been with me before the fourth watch?" in the yard?"
Mu Yunjin's eyebrows turned cold, "No."
"Since you have no proof, you are the biggest suspect in this case. Because all indications show that the person who benefited the most from the death of Mu Er Shao is you." Queen Mother Zheng sneered.
Mu Yunjin frowned slightly, and a smile slowly appeared on the corners of her lips. She raised her eyes to look at Queen Mother Zheng, and then at Chen Pu, "When it comes to trial, Mr. Chen seems to be more professional?"
In a word, the Empress Dowager Zheng was directly rejected.
Chen Pu was sitting in the center right now, feeling like he was sitting on pins and needles. There had never been a case that was so difficult.
Both sides are not easy to offend, but when it comes to suspicion, Miss Mu San is indeed the most suspicious, but there is no substantial evidence to prove it, which is really a big headache.
Just when the atmosphere was a little condensed, Chu Li, who had been silent all the time, let out a soft voice, "Mu Yunjin is the person who will enter the prince's mansion, and you are targeting me with baseless suspicions, and you have taken the prince seriously." Is it?"
