After saying that, Zhuang Yuyan stood up and looked towards Mu Yunjin, "Sister Yunjin, sit here and wait for me, I will ask Ruhan to help me."
Upon hearing this, Mu Yunjin nodded slightly.
When Zhuang Yuyan and Wen Ruhan walked towards the kitchen, Mu Yunjin raised her eyebrows slightly, sat up as well, and quietly followed behind them.
At this time, the door of the kitchen was closed tightly, Mu Yunjin leaned against the corner outside the kitchen, pierced a hole in the window, and watched the movement inside.
In the kitchen, Zhuang Yuyan was kneading flour, talking and laughing with Wen Ruhan, the smile on his face was very real.
As for Wen Ruhan, although he was joking with Zhuang Yuyan, his eyes were wandering around, and his mind was not on the conversation with Zhuang Yuyan at all.
"Ruhan, add some water for me, and I'll prepare some brown sugar." After finishing speaking, Zhuang Yuyan wiped her hands, turned around, and went to prepare brown sugar.
Wen Ruhan heard this, nodded, and then looked back at Zhuang Yuyan, seeing that Zhuang Yuyan was preparing brown sugar, she quietly approached the flour that Zhuang Yuyan kneaded earlier.
After stopping in her tracks, Wen Ruhan glanced at Zhuang Yuyan again, then tremblingly took out a small paper bag from her sleeve, then gently opened it, and sprinkled all the powder inside into the flour.
Then crumpled the paper bag up and stuffed it back into his sleeve. After finishing this series of things, he secretly let out a sigh of relief.
Seeing this scene, Mu Yunjin slightly curled the corners of her lips, and secretly scolded Wen Ruhan, a fool who didn't know he was being used as a gun.
It seems that she still has to warn Chu Qingqiang.
…
After a while, after seeing the horseshoe cake was baked, Mu Yunjin walked back to the front hall first.
Sitting in the front hall, Mu Yunjin was drinking tea, and caught a glimpse of Zhuang Yuyan and Wen Ruhan walking side by side, with a smile on her face, "The horseshoe cake smells so good."
"That's right, horseshoe cake is what Yuyan is best at." Wen Ruhan smiled at Mu Yunjin.
Mu Yunjin nodded slightly, and then saw Zhuang Yuyan put the plate of horseshoe cake on the table, picked up a piece, and handed it to Mu Yunjin, "Sister Yunjin, try it."
Mu Yunjin smiled and took the horseshoe cake.
Seeing this, Wen Ruhan lowered her eyes slightly, then picked up a piece and handed it to Zhuang Yuyan, "Hey, you've worked so hard for so long, let's try it first."
"You are the best, Ruhan."
Zhuang Yuyan took the horseshoe cake and was about to open her mouth to take a bite when she heard a coughing sound, "cough cough cough..."
Following the prestige, Mu Yunjin was clutching her chest and coughing hard.
"Sister Yunjin, what's wrong with you?" Zhuang Yuyan put down the horseshoe cake in her hand, ran over, and patted Mu Yunjin's back lightly.
After Mu Yunjin finished coughing, she took a sip of tea and calmed down, then glanced at Wen Ruhan who was standing motionless from the corner of her eye.
Wen Ruhan caught Mu Yunjin's gaze, was slightly taken aback, and then smiled shyly, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." After saying that, Mu Yunjin picked up the plate of horseshoe cake and handed it to Wen Ruhan, "Didn't Sister Ruhan say she wanted to eat horseshoe cake? Why are you standing still? If you don't eat it, it will be cold."
Seeing this, Wen Ruhan hesitated a little.
After a while, there was a smile, "It's okay, you can eat first, I used to eat this horseshoe cake."
"But today, didn't you first propose to eat the horseshoe cake made by sister Yuyan? Don't be too polite now, such a big plate is enough for us to share." Mu Yunjin still maintained the posture of handing the plate, eyes There is a deep smile in it.
Zhuang Yuyan stood aside, Mu Yunjin's sudden change of attitude made her a little bit surprised, she couldn't help biting her lip, and stared at the plate of horseshoe cake.
Wen Ruhan was stared at by Mu Yunjin's meaningful eyes, her heart trembled slightly, and then she picked up a piece of horseshoe cake, with a smile on her face, "Okay, eat it quickly, too."
Seeing that Wen Ruhan just took it but didn't eat it, Mu Yunjin put down the plate in her hand, with a smile on her face, "Why doesn't Sister Ruhan eat?"
"I like to eat something cold, but it's still a little hot right now." Wen Ruhan smiled lightly.
Mu Yunjin snorted, nodded in amazement, glanced at Shi Chen, and the corners of her mouth curled up into a slight arc, "Then I'll give you time to let it cool down."
"Sister Yunjin, what do you mean? I didn't seem to offend you by coming here today, right?" Wen Ruhan put down the horseshoe cake in her hand, and looked at Mu Yunjin with some annoyance.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Zhuang Yuyan stood up by herself and looked around, "We are all sisters, so there is no need to hurt your friendship over these trivial matters."
Mu Yunjin supported her head, but did not speak.
"Forget it, it seems that I came here by mistake today. Yuyan, I will visit you another day." Wen Ruhan said, and was about to go out.
"Stop!" Mu Yunjin stopped her.
Wen Ruhan stopped in her tracks, bit her lip, and said aggrievedly, "What orders does the Sixth Prince have?"
"Ruhan, sister Yun Jin..." Zhuang Yuyan was a little embarrassed.
Mu Yunjin sat up, picked up the plate of horseshoe cake, walked to Wen Ruhan's side, her eyes were filled with coldness, "Eat it."
"What do you mean?" Wen Ruhan was a little annoyed.
"What do you mean?" Mu Yunjin smiled lightly, "Don't you know better than me?"
After saying that, Mu Yunjin yelled to the side, "Come here! Go and ask the magistrate to come over, and tell me that someone is going to poison and murder our Prime Minister's mansion!"
Zhuang Yuyan and Wen Ruhan's eyes widened at the same time when they heard the words poisoning and murder, one was in disbelief, the other was full of guilt.
"Sister Yun Jin, what does this mean?" Zhuang Yuyan asked with some fear.
Hearing that, Mu Yunjin put down the horseshoe cake in her hand, pulled out Wen Ruhan's right hand, and then took out a crumpled paper bag from her sleeve.
"Wen Ruhan, if you have the guts to poison the horseshoe cake, you must also have the guts to admit it. There is still powder left in this paper bag. When the time comes, let someone inspect it and you will know what is in this paper bag. , is it the same as the stuff in the horseshoe cake?"
Seeing what Mu Yunjin said, Wen Ruhan was so frightened that her feet went limp on the spot, and she slumped on the ground, "No, it's not me..."
"Ruhan, you, why are you..." Zhuang Yuyan couldn't believe it, but when she thought about Wen Ruhan's abnormalities just now, she couldn't help believing what Mu Yunjin said.
"Yuyan, you have to believe me, I didn't do it, and I don't know why that paper bag is here with me, someone must have wronged me!" Wen Ruhan said eagerly, with pleading eyes.
Looking at the scene, Zhuang Yuyan took a deep breath, and her eyes gradually darkened.
"Both stolen goods were obtained, but this Miss Wen is the daughter of the Ministry of Industry Minister's family, and has a special status. I am afraid that she will be handed over to Dali Temple to preside over the case." Mu Yunjin said calmly.
As soon as she heard about Dali Temple, Wen Ruhan's mind came up with Su Biqing's fate of being cut in half, no, no!
"Sixth Prince Concubine, Ruhan was wronged, Ruhan was also coerced by others, so she had no choice but to do this!" Wen Ruhan immediately changed her kneeling position, and kowtowed heavily to Mu Yunjin.
Seeing that Wen Ruhan really admitted this, Zhuang Yuyan couldn't hide her disappointment, she sat down on a chair beside her, turned her face away, and never looked at Wen Ruhan again.
"Concubine Sixth, in fact, the Fifth Princess ordered me to do this. She also gave me this medicine. She specially summoned me that day and asked me to do things for her! She also threatened me that if I didn't do things for her, I would have to kill you." If you show the evidence that my father was corrupt in the Ministry of Industry, then maybe our Wen family will end up with a whole family of robbers!"
"I know that my father has been a clean and honest official all his life, so it is impossible for him to accept bribes. But the other party is the fifth princess, who is a member of the royal family. She said that if she wants to produce evidence of my father's corruption, she must be able to produce it."
"I really have no choice. In order to protect our Wen family, I just got mad and did stupid things."
"Sixth Imperial Concubine, Sister Yuyan, I beg you, please forgive me this time, I was also forced."
As Wen Ruhan spoke, she kowtowed non-stop.
At this moment, Mu Yunhan walked in from the back garden, looking at the scene in the front hall with a tense face, he and Mu Yunjin looked at each other.
Seeing Mu Yunhan come out, Zhuang Yuyan lowered her eyes, feeling a little ashamed.
"Brother, Miss Wen, how do you deal with it?" Mu Yunjin threw the question to Mu Yunhan.
Mu Yunhan's elegant face turned cold when he heard this, "Since human life is involved, we must do business and hand over Miss Wen to Dali Temple for disposal."
"No! Young Master Mu, please spare my life! I know I was wrong, and I promise I won't dare to do it again next time!" Wen Ruhan immediately crawled to Mu Yunhan's side, grabbing the hem of his clothes.
She knew very well in her heart that once she entered Dali Temple and was involved in a murder case, even if she could get out without guilt, if she got involved in a murder case, her future life would almost be ruined.
"Yuyan has a kind heart, and she was used by powerful people like you in the past. Such things happened just a day after Yuyan married into my house. If I forgive you, how can I explain to Master Taifu!"
"Someone, drag her out and hand her over to Dali Temple!"
After saying that, several guards who usually followed Mu Yunhan came out and dragged the struggling Wen Ruhan out of the front hall door.
After the front hall returned to calm, Zhuang Yuyan frowned, her face full of displeasure.
"Sister Yuyan, don't be sad, it's a good thing to see this person's face clearly earlier." Mu Yunjin comforted.
Zhuang Yuyan nodded slightly, raised her eyes to look at Mu Yunjin, "Sister Yunjin, today's matter is thanks to you, otherwise, I..."
"Okay, we're all family, so there's no need to talk outside the box." Mu Yunjin said.
Zhuang Yuyan hummed, then rubbed her temples, her complexion turned pale, "I'm a little tired, let's go back and rest for a while."
"Cuizhu, help Madam down." Mu Yunhan said to the maidservant beside her.
After Zhuang Yuyan left, Mu Yunjin looked at Mu Yunhan, and said calmly, "In Chu Qingqiang's opinion, he really took what we said that day as a deaf ear."
"What are you going to do?" Mu Yunhan asked.
"You don't need to do anything. After the news of Wen Ruhan's entry into Dali Temple spreads, Chu Qingqiang will definitely admit it this time."
"If she doesn't behave this time, then I don't have to keep her secrets anymore."
After Mu Yunjin finished speaking, a sneer appeared on the corner of her lips, and she raised her eyebrows coldly.
