After the house was confiscated, I relied on billions of dollars in supplies to become a group favor

Chapter 153
Mrs. Mutai was sitting on a high chair in the main room, her old face showing a bit of fatigue, and she was taking a nap with her eyes lowered, but she refused to take a rest no matter how much the junior tried to persuade her.

Brothers Mu Yunxiao and Mu Yunchao accompanied their grandmother. Both of them looked helpless and could only wait silently for Ruan He to return.

Hearing the sound of walking, the two brothers raised their heads. Mu Yunchao happily called out: "Sister-in-law is back!"

Mu Yunchao's voice immediately woke up Mrs. Mutai who was still dozing off.

Seeing Ruan He come back safe and sound, the stone that Mrs. Mutai had been hanging on her heart fell steadily, and she said kindly: "Xiao He is back."

"Grandma... I have something important to discuss with you."

Ruan He nodded, looked at several people solemnly, and spoke slowly.

Before she could say anything, a shout came from her sleeve.

"Squeak!"

Panda poked out his furry head, looked around with his small black eyes, then swooped forward and landed firmly in Mrs. Mutai's hand.

The little guy bumped into the center of Mrs. Mutai's hand, staggered dizzy, and fell down.

Seeing its naive appearance, Mrs. Mutai couldn't help but lower her voice, nodded its head gently, and muttered: "You're back? Are you full?"

She still remembered that this little glutton refused to follow her back first for a few pieces of preserved fruit.

Panda pretended not to understand, and lay obediently in Mrs. Mutai's hand, motionless.

Mrs. Mutai only teased it, then raised her head, straightened her expression, and asked: "Xiaohe, what happened?"

Ruan He explained what happened in the dining room in detail, which made several people in the room look surprised.

"Sister-in-law, you mean...Shuang'er wants to poison our family!?" Mu Yunchao looked stunned for a moment, his eyes widened in disbelief, and asked again.

Mrs. Mu Tai sighed, showing a somewhat sad expression, and said, "I didn't expect how much Mu Zhengbai has spoiled these two daughters. Shuang'er is so cruel."

Originally, they had guessed that Mrs. Zhang and her two daughters were probably hiding in Zhizhou Mansion, but they never said anything more.

"If the three of them, mother and daughter, were hiding here, our family wouldn't hold them captive. I didn't expect... they would actually want to kill them all!"

If this is the case, then there is no need for them to talk about friendship.

"Grandma, what are you going to do about it?" After Ruan He finished speaking, he picked up the water glass handed over by Mu Yunxiao, lowered his head and took a sip to moisten his dry lips. ,
Ruan He made a special trip back to ask Mrs. Mutai's opinion.

The Zhang family and the pair of daughters are, after all, members of the Mu family, so it is not easy for Ruan He to intervene.

More importantly, she knew that Mrs. Mutai was a rational and wise patriarch and would definitely handle this matter well without being biased.

Mrs. Mutai looked calm, thought for a moment, looked at her grandchildren and grandson-in-law who were waiting aside, and calmly ordered: "Xiao'er, Xiaohe, go and invite Mr. Li over and let him handle this matter."

Zhang, mother and daughter are all fugitives from the imperial court. As an official, Li Jiang naturally has the right to come and deal with this matter.

"Okay." Ruan He and Mu Yunxiao looked at each other and went out together.After a while, Li Jiang was found by the two people, and Ruan He briefly introduced the cause of the matter.

The more he heard, the more solemn Li Jiang's expression became. However, this was a family matter of the Mu family, so he did not comment and just nodded.

"Master Li, the cook should still be in the dining room. We can go over and ask."

The cook was indeed what she said. She didn't even dare to step out of the dining room and just sat on the stool.

Li Jiangliang showed his official mission order and said with a cold face: "Mu Qingshuang, her mother and sister are all prisoners under my jurisdiction. If you are helping others to do evil, what will he do if I inform the governor?" , you should know it yourself.”

Naturally, the cook was so frightened that she nodded repeatedly and explained the whole story.

"In the afternoon...Miss Qinghong Biao came over. She hid behind the pillar and blamed us for lending the stove to others, but she didn't let me tell anyone that she had been here."

It seems that Mu Qinghong first discovered that she was steaming preserved fruits, and then what happened next.

"In the evening, Miss Qingshuang Biao also came. She came here alone and hid behind here. She asked me to call out the people inside, so I did... Just like that, Miss Qingshuang Biao was ejaculating in the preserved fruit. Poisoned."

Ruan He listened to her story with cold eyes, suddenly narrowed his eyes, glanced away, and asked calmly and in a deep voice: "How do you know she was poisoned?"

The cook was suddenly questioned, paused, then turned around, showing a cautious look, and said: "I...I saw her poisoning with my own eyes...I was facing the back room at the time. Find out clearly."

This was also the reason why she didn't dare to eat the preserved fruit.

While they were talking, Mu Qingshuang also hid in a secluded place outside, quietly observing the situation in Ruan He's yard.

But after squatting for a long time, she didn't see any big movement coming from inside. It was so quiet that she couldn't help but feel a little panicked.

Mu Qingshuang specially selected a poison that was quick-acting but slow-killing. It should take less than a quarter of an hour. Some of the family members must have taken advantage of the poison. There was no way there would be no movement at all.

She waited for another two-quarters of an hour, but there was no news of any deaths.

Mu Qingshuang's heart was pounding, and she knew that something must have gone wrong, otherwise it would not be so peaceful.

She left here quietly and went straight back to her house.

Mu Qingshuang opened the quilt, took the knife hidden by the bed, cut a small slit in the quilt, and took out a few banknotes. She then changed her hands and took out several valuable items from the dressing cabinet. Gold, silver and jade ornaments.

These were all she used as backup. Compared to her stupid and naive mother and sister, Mu Qingshuang knew very well that her grandfather could not keep them forever.

In fact, she had long suspected that her grandfather had some unusual intention in bringing the mother and daughter over.

Putting the banknotes into her arms, Mu Qingshuang hid a few light gold, silver and jade ornaments in her sleeves and walked straight outside.

She didn't plan to tell her mother and sister, otherwise she might get into an accident.
