After the marriage, the cousin was spoiled by the whole family of the Marquis's Mansion

Chapter 47 Mu Chun's Plan
A few days ago.

Linshui River is located in the suburbs of Beijing.

By the cold and bleak river, the wind was so strong that it seemed to blow into people's bones.

In the distance, three cargo ships were floating quietly on the river.

Only if you get closer can you see the horrific scene on board the cargo ship.

Whether they were elderly people or hungry babies, they were all brutally killed.

Blood flowed like a river, and the bottomless river water was dyed dark red.

The killer was dressed in black, with blood stains on the long knife in his hand and several cuts on the blade.

The assassin in black jumped off the boat and came behind the man who had been waiting on the shore. "Sir, everything has been dealt with."

The man did not look back, but just stood by the river with his hands behind his back.

After a long while, he slowly turned around and asked, "Did you keep the things I asked you to leave behind?"

"Stayed."

The handkerchief was left on the boat by the master on purpose, and there was a line of poetry with the master's name clearly written on it.

In front of the sick tree, thousands of trees spring.

Mu Chun pulled his cloak closer and couldn't help but cough twice.

He glanced at the blood on his knife and said, "You guys go ahead and clean it up."

"Yes."

The killer in black returned to the boat, with five other killers in similar attire on board.

Several people rowed the boat and soon disappeared along the river bank.

When Mu Chun returned to the carriage, Hua Yuan was almost asleep in the carriage.

She was startled awake by the sound of someone getting on the bus.

Hua Yuan rubbed his eyes and said, "Uncle Mu, why did you take so long?"

Mu Chun had a warm smile on his lips. "Mu Chun had a stomachache yesterday. I was sick for a long time. I am sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

Hua Yuan pursed his lips with some guilt, "I didn't know Uncle Mu was not feeling well today, otherwise we would have gone two days later.

Mu Chun couldn't help coughing a few times again, "Nothing, there is a hot spring on the mountain of Zhuangzi, and the princess left in such a hurry because she wanted to treat Mu Chun's illness."

Seeing that he had become increasingly frail since the beginning of autumn, Hua Yuan anxiously patted the carriage wall and said, "Hurry up."

Mu Chun's right face was covered with a silver mask, and his left face was blocked by his long hair, so his appearance and expression could not be seen clearly.

He worked as an aide to Prince Qing's palace for only three years, but he accompanied Hua Yuan during his most important three years.

To this day, Hua Yuan relies more on Muchun than on Prince Qing.

Hua Yuan didn't know Muchun's past, she only knew that Muchun was full of knowledge. She often thought that if Muchun was a normal person, he would be an elegant scholar with high spirits.

She had secretly seen Mu Chun's appearance. Apart from the scar on the right side of his face, his left side was obviously a handsome face. However, he always covered it with his long hair, so that no one could see his true face.

Hua Yuan didn't know where Muchun came from, he only knew that he was brought back by his father.

Mu Chun has been living in Prince Qing's Mansion. Sometimes he would sit under the corridor beside the garden and stay there for the whole day.

Later she found out that Mu Chun saw the shadow of his daughter in her.

There is always a slight sense of alienation about Mu Chun, and she becomes as warm and gentle as the breeze only when she is talking to her.

Hua Yuan knew that Mu Chun was just pinning his longing for his daughter on her.

But she slowly fell under Mu Chun's care and tenderness.

Mu Chun leaned against the wall of the carriage and closed his eyes to rest, but Hua Yuan just wanted the carriage to keep moving like this forever.

Suddenly, there was a short sound of birds singing outside the car. Mu Chun opened his eyes suddenly, and he lifted the car curtain. There was nothing in the small woods passing by quickly outside the window.

Hua Yuan also glanced out the window, "Uncle Mu, what's going on?"

"Nothing." Mu Chun lowered the curtains and said casually, "Did the princess have fun playing polo yesterday?"

Hua Yuan thought about yesterday's polo game and pursed his lips, a little unhappy. "If it weren't for that Liu Qiwei beating people up, would the polo game have ended so early? I didn't even have the chance to play!"

Mu Chun added, "There is no misunderstanding here. Young Master Liu has been imprisoned, and Young Master Jin has not woken up yet. Everything is still uncertain."

Hua Yuan disagreed with him, "What kind of destiny is this? Liu Qiwei beat someone up in public. Could it be that Second Brother Jin asked him to do it?"

Mu Chun lowered his eyes, "If the two of them have a grudge against each other privately, and Second Master Jin is provoking him with words on the field, it would probably cause Third Master Liu to do something extreme."

As he said this, he changed the subject and said, "The princess is on good terms with Miss Jin, so it's normal for her to be biased in her words."

Hua Yuan frowned, "Uncle Mu, what happened to you today?"

Normally, Muchun was like an elder who could tolerate any mistakes Hua Yuan made. No matter what she did, as soon as Prince Qing started to blame her, Muchun had already found an excuse for her and always let her escape punishment.

Today, Mu Chun seemed like a different person. He, who never cared about others, not only asked questions, but also refuted her for the first time.

Mu Chun lowered his head and coughed a few times, "Nothing, I just thought of an old thing."

Hua Yuan pursed his lips, thinking that his words had touched upon the sad past in Mu Chun's heart.

She softened her tone, "There were so many people there that day, I was the only one who was biased, others would not be biased, and besides, the Crown Princess immediately returned to the palace to report it."

Mu Chun said casually, "Crown Princess? The Crown Prince has confined you to your room. How did you leave the East Palace?"

"The Crown Princess is not under house arrest. Lady Wenyuan organized this polo match for the sake of Wenyuan's son. Most of the young ladies and gentlemen in the capital went. She should have done it for Liu Yongnan."

Mu Chun nodded, and suddenly changed the subject, "Last year during the spring outing, the princess was full of praise for the Crown Princess' exquisite little carriage. Mu Chun said he wanted to build one for the princess, but his health was inconsistent, so the matter has been delayed."

Hua Yuan's eyes immediately showed some distress, "It's just a carriage. It looks good, but it can't hold much. I haven't seen the Crown Princess ride in it since then. Yesterday, the Crown Princess rode in a large carriage, which was not much different from the carriage my father has in the mansion."

"It's okay, I don't want it anymore. Uncle Mu, please don't worry about it anymore!"

Mu Chun calmed down and nodded.

The prince quietly left the palace.

The prince's wings had been plucked out, but he always felt that there must be someone behind the prince.

What emerged in his mind at this moment was the day when a house in West City caught fire, and the girl with a blood-stained but determined face in the green-shed carriage.

He twirled his fingertips, Ji family.

-

"Sir."

Wei Chi came in from outside, his face was unusually solemn, "Mr. Qin is dead."

"Dead?!" Ji Yunzhang's eyes were red with anger when he heard the news, "Where's Chong'er? I left so many people for him!"

Wei Chi pursed his lips, "They are all dead, on the returning ship."

"Mr. Qin and Chong'er, the father and son in disguise, were on a cargo ship. All three cargo ships that left the port at the same time were killed. All the civilians and boat workers, more than 200 people, were brutally killed."

Ji Yunzhang's eyes were slightly red, and his fists were clenched tightly at his sides. After a long while, he squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, "Do you have any clues?"

He knew in his heart who did it, but he couldn't do anything about it just because of his words.

"Our people found this handkerchief on one of the boats. We have checked and found that it is a handkerchief from Ruyifang."

A white square handkerchief with an orchid embroidered on the corner and a line of small words on the edge.

In front of the sick tree, thousands of trees spring.

Ji Yunzhang's teeth were about to break, "Muchun! Prince Qing!"
