Distressed wife

Chapter 240
"Everyone is dead, there is no proof of death, and there is no clue to investigate, so naturally it will be nothing." Mu Lingxuan looked at her and said, "However, there is an interesting thing in the court today."

"What's the matter?" Mu Ziyan sat down and asked in a low voice.

"The Minister of the Ministry of Officials has read a copy of the third prince." Mu Lingxuan said in a low voice.

"What did you say?" Mu Ziyan was slightly taken aback, then asked.

"It is said that he embezzled Yunxi's disaster relief funds." Mu Lingxuan continued, "The evidence is solid."

"This..." Mu Ziyan thought about it carefully, but she felt that there must be a lot to write about here. She was busy with the affairs of the Muhou Mansion at this time in her previous life, and was sent to the family temple right afterward. Known.

"The emperor ordered people to thoroughly investigate this matter." Mu Lingxuan smiled, and a warm and cold light flashed across his handsome face.

"The evidence is convincing, but we still need to conduct a thorough investigation. It's obviously a cover-up." Mu Ziyan said with a low smile, "When the time comes to bring out a scapegoat, the matter will be settled."

"What my sister said is very true." Mu Lingxuan did not expect that Mu Ziyan would be able to see the mystery here, and praised, "What does my sister think is hidden behind this matter?"

"If the emperor wants to secure the throne, he must weigh the relationship between the crown prince and the third prince. If the third prince falls, then the prince will be alone. This matter may be caused by the prince or the third prince. "Mu Ziyan said in a low voice, "If the prince did it, he would act too aggressively and clearly, and it would surely arouse the emperor's suspicion. If it was the third prince's doing, to frame the prince, even if he would be punished now, but But he allowed the emperor to temporarily dispel his doubts about him, making the emperor even more wary of the prince, and he can also take this opportunity to cultivate his character and store his power, so it is indeed killing three birds with one stone."

"My sister is right." Mu Lingxuan continued, "However, my sister thinks that this matter was done by the crown prince or the third prince?"

"Third Prince." Mu Ziyan continued, "My brother is now in the Ministry of Officials, but the final verdict on this matter will require three joint trials, and it will involve the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Leng Hanfeng is now in the Ministry of Criminal Justice. This matter is inherently complicated, and all the evidence points to the crown prince's actions."

Mu Lingxuan nodded and said, "Yes, what does my sister think now?"

"Wait and see what happens." Mu Ziyan said in a low voice, "If the crown prince comes back and knows the mystery behind this matter, he will definitely take measures. He won't sit still, so we will not help each other."

"En, that's right." Mu Lingxuan nodded and said, "Sister has such a scheming heart, but it makes my brother feel ashamed."

"Brother, you, don't make fun of me." Mu Ziyan said with a smile, "How long will Daddy stay in Funan?"

"If things go well, there will be more than one month." Mu Lingxuan said in a low voice.

"Brother, I'm afraid things are not that simple. The Muhou Mansion and the Duke's Mansion are involved too much. Although the border is safe now, there is no guarantee that there will be no wars. Now that the princes have grown up, the Muhou Mansion has become the Duke of the State. The weakness of the mansion, I don’t think it will go well with my father.” Mu Ziyan is always worried, after all, there are too many people coveting Muhou’s mansion, the enemy is in the dark, they are in the open, and now we must take precautions as much as possible Prepare.

Mu Ziyan's words made Mu Lingxuan fall into deep thought, and nodded slightly, "My sister is very worried, so I will write to my father to tell him to be more careful."

"En." Mu Ziyan nodded, and then said, "Brother is tired?"

"Are you issuing an order to evict guests?" Mu Lingxuan said with a low smile, but he didn't stay any longer, got up and left.

After Mu Lingxuan left, Mu Ziyan went back to the inner room, picked up the unfinished book and began to read it, but her mind was absent.

"Miss, Miss San is here." Yun Xiang entered the room and replied softly.

"Let her in." Mu Ziyan replied lightly, and then put away the scroll again.

Mu Zi entered the room quietly, and hurriedly stepped forward to pay respects to Mu Zi, "Big sister."

"I've suffered these days." Seeing Mu Zijing's firm expression, Mu Ziyan knew that the old lady was indeed capable.

Seeing that Mu Ziyan's expression was fine, Mu Zijing felt relieved, and then said with a smile, "It's good that big sister doesn't blame younger sister."

"Where are you talking about, they are all my sisters." Mu Ziyan doesn't plan to tear up her face with Mu Zijing yet, with Mu Zijing around, she might know the old lady's intentions.

Mu Zijing smiled and said, "Big sister, it was your birthday yesterday, my sister didn't have anything nice to give you, so I specially embroidered this for you."

Mu Ziyan raised her hand to take it, staring at the embroidery on the embroidered handkerchief, said with a slight smile, "Third sister has a heart."

"Big sister, what happened in the past is that my younger sister is ignorant, please forgive me." Mu Zijing knelt down towards Mu Ziyan as she spoke.

Mu Ziyan saw that she was really different, she was much smarter than Mu Zixi, a friendly smile curled up on the corner of her mouth, "Where is the third sister, get up quickly."

"Thank you, Big Sister." Mu Zijing quickly got up and stood obediently beside her.

Seeing her like this, Mu Ziyan thought to herself, luckily she came back earlier, otherwise if she stayed for a while, this girl might be trained by the old lady to become a sharp cold sword.

Once a person has hatred in his heart, he will unleash a huge potential, which is unpredictable but terrifying. She is aware of this, so she understands that at this moment, Mu Zijing is afraid of being The seeds of hatred have been planted and have germinated, just waiting to bear fruit.

After Mu Zijing left, Mu Ziyan stared at the handkerchief again and again, and then said, "Keep it well."

"Yes." Rue Xiang took it with both hands, and immediately put it into the box.

Mu Zijing came out of Yanluo courtyard and stayed back in her courtyard. The meekness on her face had long since disappeared, her eyes were condensed with flames of hatred, and her expression looked terrifying.

The death of Cui Shi was always a scar in her heart. To her, the only way to avenge Cui Shi was by killing Mu Ziyan.

Shuang'er stood aside and did not dare to speak. For the current third lady, she understood that she was no longer the naive and ignorant third lady back then. Today's third lady is really terrible.
