Distressed wife

Chapter 361 Mu Zixi's Fate (4)
"Of course I know this truth, but these days, I can't think of a good way." Lord Zhonghou was also very troubled about this.

"My daughter just got the news that the Beiqing Kingdom attacked Jiaomen Town at night, and World War I was unavoidable. There is a shortage of food and grass here. Although the treasury is abundant now, but the north has just been hit by locust plagues, it can't be allocated much. As long as my father offers to reduce his salary by one year." Yue, with this relief, other officials will follow suit, and this can be regarded as a solution to the urgent need of the emperor." Zhong Xuan said softly.

"That's right, so the emperor will reuse the old madam." Lord Zhong Hou raised his eyebrows and turned to look at Zhong Xuan, "Xuan'er, you are really the lucky star of this old man."

"Father, as for your daughter's marriage, it depends on how much the emperor places on you." Zhong Xuan's words were naturally reminding Lord Zhonghou that whether she married well or not had a direct relationship with his favor in front of the emperor.

Lord Zhong Hou paused for a moment, his eyes flashed a faint light, "You are just a concubine, even if the emperor thinks highly of this old man, he will give your third sister a good marriage."

Zhong Xuan smiled slightly, "Father is absolutely right."

"Okay, the old man will not treat you badly." Lord Zhong Hou didn't want to marry Zhong Xuan so early, he hadn't completely tamed her yet, there was no guarantee that she would cross the river and tear down the bridge in the future.

Zhong Xuan knew what Master Zhong was thinking, but she didn't expose it.

When Lord Zhong Hou left, she turned around and went back to the room, "It seems that the third sister has been living too leisurely recently."

"Master." The servant girl at the side bowed her head and replied, "I will do it now, servant girl."

"Let her lie down for a few days." Zhong Xuan narrowed her eyes slightly, and then leaned on the soft couch to take a nap.

That night, Mu Ziyan and Biyun sneaked into Mu Zixi's courtyard, and went straight to the inside. The inside was much clearer, she just stood there and looked around, and then walked to her bed.

"Miss..." Biyun lowered her voice and followed behind her.

Mu Ziyan stared at the bed for a while, then lifted the quilt, and tapped lightly on the wooden boards of the bed. Without any mechanism, she immediately knocked along the wall, then walked to the dressing table, bowed her head He stared at the dowry for a while.

She raised her hand and gently turned the dowry, and saw a crack in the floor on the right side of the bed. Mu Ziyan squatted forward and pushed the floor to the sides, and there was a box inside.

After Mu Ziyan opened the box, she saw a letter inside, and when she opened it, there were two shop title deeds and some jewelry inside.

A faint light flashed across Mu Ziyan's eyes, then she got up, closed the floor, took the box and left, and when she returned to Yanluo Courtyard, she stared at the two land deeds, "Let me go and have a look tomorrow." .”

"Yes." Biyun and Yunxiang replied.

Mu Ziyan put away the two title deeds, washed and undressed, and then sat on the bed to practice internal strength.

The next day, after returning from Jiyue Courtyard, she left Muhou Mansion with Yunxiang and Biyun, and went to the shop with the title deed, which was a silk shop. After she entered, she looked back and forth.

The shopkeeper was making calculations at the moment, there were only two shop assistants busy in the shop, because it was still early and there were no customers, when he saw Mu Ziyan entering, the shopkeeper raised his eyes and saw that she was dressed in extraordinary clothes, and quickly Putting down the account book in his hand, he greeted him with a smile, "Miss, the store just brought in a piece of fine silk, but you want to see it?"

Mu Ziyan saw that the shopkeeper was very enthusiastic, she turned her eyes to look at the two guys, she was slightly taken aback at this moment, and then went to work separately.

A faint light flashed across her eyes, "Just turn around casually."

"What are you doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and make tea." The shopkeeper coldly shouted at a waiter.

"Yes." The guy quickly put down what he was doing, and got into the back hall.

Mu Ziyan turned around slowly, "I don't like anything."

After saying that, he walked away from the shop, and after sitting in the carriage, he looked at Yun Xiang, "Look carefully, there is something wrong with this shop."

"Yes." Rue Xiang replied, and immediately went to give instructions.

Biyun looked at Mu Ziyan, "Miss, this servant also thinks it's weird."

"En." Mu Ziyan nodded, and after the carriage left, the shopkeeper returned to the shop, raised his eyes to look at the two people, and then saw the shop closed, until Mu Ziyan walked away, and after a while, The shop suddenly caught fire.

Mu Ziyan went to another shop at this moment, this is the rice shop, and the opposite is the shop of Mu Ziyue's family, Mu Ziyan immediately got off the carriage, and happened to see Zhang Zong coming out of the rice shop.

"Yan'er, I was going to visit, so you came." Zhang Zong saw that it was Mu Ziyan, and walked over with a smile.

Seeing him so happy, Mu Ziyan presumably had some clues about the case, so she smiled and stepped forward, "Master Zhang."

"Let's go, let's go back to the government office." Zhang Zong said with a smile.

"Okay." Mu Ziyan nodded slightly, then turned around and got into the carriage. When passing by the rice shop, she saw a figure flash past.

"Miss, look." Biyun found something at this moment and said in a low voice.

Mu Ziyan lifted the curtain of the car, and saw the rice shop suddenly caught fire, and was submerged in the fire in an instant.

Just as Zhang Zong got on his horse, he saw a sudden fire in the rice store opposite, so he quickly dismounted again and led his men to put out the fire.

Yun Xiang just got the news, "Miss, the silk shop is also on fire."

"What about the shopkeeper and the two guys?" Mu Ziyan continued to ask.

"It's gone." Rue Xiang whispered.

"Okay, very good." Mu Ziyan sneered, "Let's go to the Jingzhao Yin Mansion first."

"Yes." Rue Xiang replied in a low voice, and ordered the coachman to drive.

Mu Ziyan has now become a frequent visitor to the Jingzhao Yin Mansion's Yamen, so the yamen servants are very respectful when they see Mu Ziyan, and when Mu Ziyan enters the back hall, they see Mrs. Lu playing with her autopsy tools.

Mu Ziyan immediately stepped forward, "Sister Lu."

Seeing her coming in, Mrs. Lu got up with a smile, "How come this hour has come?"

"When I was passing by the rice shop just now, I happened to run into Big Brother Zhang. He saw me coming and said that the case had some clues and asked me to come." Mu Ziyan sat down while talking.
