Distressed wife

Chapter 224 The Death of Cui Yunran (3)
I only saw a box. After opening it, there were some things used by women and a pair of men's socks in it.

"Master Cui, this person is trying to frame Cousin Yunran for having an affair with others. She expected that Cousin Yunran would die, and then ordered this girl to bury it here, and then ordered this girl to lead us here , dug out this thing to prove that Cousin Yunran committed suicide, and this is the evidence." Mu Ziyan took out the pair of socks, "My brother's name is also embroidered on them, obviously it's superfluous Alright."

Master Cui could not help coughing a few times, "This..."

Presumably this was not done by a woman, but why would a man's name be embroidered on his socks?That must have been done by a girl with shallow eyelids, who is it?
Seeing Master Cui thinking to himself, Mu Ziyan looked down at the girl who was kicked unconscious, and then looked at Steward Li, "Butler Li, wake this girl up."

"Yes, Miss Mu." Butler Li responded quickly, and ordered someone to bring a bucket of water over, and poured it on the girl.

The girl woke up suddenly, her whole body was wet, and she was in a panic. When she raised her eyes and saw the cold light from Mu Ziyan, she quickly shrank into a ball, "Master Hou, please spare me! This servant doesn't know anything."

Mu Ziyan let out a low laugh, and then looked at Steward Li, "Butler Li, send someone to search her house, and also, call all the girls who live with her."

"Miss Mu, this old slave will go now." Seeing that Master Cui was standing aside without saying a word, Steward Li knew that he had acquiesced to Mu Ziyan's order to him, so he didn't dare to delay, so he went to order someone to do it.

Mu Ziyan stared at the girl for a while, then turned to look at Lord Cui, "Master Cui, has there been any disputes at home in the past few days?"

"I don't know about the back house." Master Cui replied in a low voice.

Mu Ziyan thought for a moment, "Madam Cui Hou is awake?"

"She has always been in poor health, but now that Yun Ran is dead, hey, her health may be even worse." Master Cui sighed faintly.

Mu Ziyan thought of Mrs. Cui bringing the sachet, so she knew that Lord Cui Hou was not easy. She remembered that Mrs. Cui Hou was always weak in her previous life, and she passed away early, but in this life, she whispered, "Excuse me. Ziyan presumptuously, which aunt Cui Houye favors the most these days?"

Cui Houye raised his eyes and glanced at Mu Ziyan, his face froze, obviously this was a family matter, and it was very embarrassing to be asked about such things by a ten-year-old girl.

Seeing the embarrassment on Master Cui's face, Steward Li hurried forward and replied, "Master Hou has been resting at Aunt Ju's place for the past few days."

"Aunt Ju?" Mu Ziyan continued to ask, "What is the relationship between Aunt Ju and Cousin Yunran?"

"This..." Butler Li raised his eyes and glanced at Lord Cui.

Seeing Lord Cui looking down, Steward Li immediately said, "The relationship with the second lady is not good or bad, and Aunt Ju has only been in the house for three months."

"Then Marquis Cui has been staying in Aunt Ju's yard for the past three months?" Mu Ziyan asked very calmly.

But at this moment, Zhang Yi and Mu Lingxuan also arrived, leading a person behind them, who were rushing over at this moment. Naturally, they heard Mu Ziyan's words, and the two couldn't help but look at each other.

Butler Li was also embarrassed. He didn't know whether to answer at this moment. He looked at Lord Cui again, and then replied, "Yes."

"Before Aunt Ju, whose yard did Marquis Cui often go to?" Mu Ziyan asked, not forgetting to observe the expression of the girl lying on the ground, and saw that the girl didn't say anything when she heard Aunt Ju. reaction.

"Aunt Bai." Butler Li said in a low voice.

"What about the relationship between Aunt Bai and Cousin Yunran?" Mu Ziyan continued to ask.

"Aunt Bai and the Second Miss..." Butler Li seemed to think of something, "I remember that a year ago, Master Hou got a hairpin. He thought it was for the Second Miss, but Aunt Bai saw it. , and begged for it from Lord Hou, never thinking that the matter was known by the second lady, so she went to Aunt Bai's yard and destroyed the hairpin in front of Aunt Bai, and Aunt Bai was so angry She got fetal gas and then had a miscarriage.”

Mu Ziyan nodded slightly, the corners of her mouth curled up with evil spirits, she lowered her eyes to look at the girl, "Your master is Aunt Bai, right?"

"Slave...Slave doesn't know anything." The girl nervously dodged Mu Ziyan's eyes.

Mu Ziyan smiled lowly, "Just now when I mentioned Aunt Ju, your lips moved slightly, and when Butler Li mentioned Aunt Bai, your expression changed."

"Butler Li, chrysanthemums are blooming in Aunt Ju's yard these few days?" Mu Ziyan asked lightly.

"Hou Mansion, now only Aunt Ju's has chrysanthemums." Li Butler's eyes moved slightly, showing some admiration for Mu Ziyan.

Mu Ziyan continued, "This box has interlayers. If my guess is correct, there will be chrysanthemum petals in it. Anyone who is interested will definitely open it to have a look, even if it is later found out that Cousin Yun Ran did not commit suicide. It's murder, and we can use this to find out the real culprit, that is Aunt Ju."

"What a thoughtful thought." Zhang Ni couldn't help sighing at the side, he didn't expect a little aunt in Cui Hou's mansion to have such a calculation.

Master Cui's face turned red and then pale, and he discussed his aunt in front of the juniors. More importantly, his daughter's death was actually related to his aunt, which really made him feel ashamed.

Mu Ziyan looked down at the girl, "If you don't admit it, I have evidence."

Mu Ziyan looked up at Zhang Yu and Mu Lingxuan, and then at the person standing behind him, "Are you the shopkeeper of the sweet-scented osmanthus cake?"

"The small one is right." The shopkeeper replied in a low voice.

"What's your relationship with Shuanglan?" Seeing that the shopkeeper was handsome and young, Mu Ziyan suddenly thought of something, and his eyes lit up with a cold light, "Your words and demeanor don't look like a businessman , but like a scholar."

"I studied for a few years before, but I was useless as a scholar. In order to make a living, I had to make a living." The shopkeeper said.

Mu Ziyan stepped forward again, "You are not an ordinary scholar."

"Miss, why do you say that?" The shopkeeper looked up at Mu Ziyan, quite puzzled.

Mu Ziyan said with a low smile, "You can tell by looking at your hands. Your fingers are long and clean, obviously you have done heavy work, and there is a thick layer of calluses on your fingertips. It must be because you have practiced martial arts. And you Although the clothes are not fashionable materials, the workmanship is exquisite, and you cherish your clothes very much, so the clothes are spotless. You must be a person with integrity in your bones. Even if you do this business, you are afraid Are you disdainful in your heart?"
