In troubled times, the daughter-in-law returns

Chapter 102
Looking away, a wry smile appeared on Sikong Ye's lips. Could it be that he is going to die here today?
How could Mu Xue, who was rescued by him, be any better?
That is to say, the two of them are going to be a pair of ghost mandarin ducks?
He suddenly felt two scorching gazes on his face, and when he turned his head, he saw that Mu Xue had opened his eyes at some point.

Mu Xue didn't know how to describe her mood at the moment, she just felt her heart bulging, as if something was about to burst out of her body.

In the past, Sikong Ye was indifferent and cold, always wearing black clothes that could not reveal any emotion.

Although his face was handsome, it was difficult for people to notice his appearance at first sight, because few people could look directly at his face without being afraid of his majesty.

Most of the reason why thousands of girls in Yecheng admire him so much is because of the power he holds in his hands.

Mu Xue has seen many beautiful men, at least Huo Liangzhi is one of them.

However, Huo Liangzhi's beauty is mostly feminine, and sometimes he looks dark, and when he looks at him with gloomy eyes, it will make people feel depressed.

Among the killers in Death City, there are quite a few handsome ones, but in her eyes, each of these people is like those famous swords.

Compared with those people, Sikong Ye's appearance was sunny and cold.It's not the type that Mu Xue likes, maybe it's because she has been in the dark for too long, what she likes in her heart is the kind of gentle appearance that can give people warmth, even if it is not first-class, just looking at it will make people feel Warmth in the heart is the best.

At this moment, Sikong Ye's face was still tense, but because half of his hair was burned off, only half of his bun was tilted to one side, which was quite ridiculous.

In addition to the black ashes on his face, he also had several burns, which is really not good-looking.

What's more, there were only a few rags left on the clothes on his body, and he was soaked in the water to reminisce about the old days, falling apart, unable to cover his body at all, such a mess.

But Mu Xue felt that Sikong Ye was the most handsome man she had ever seen in her short ten years of life, which made her heart pound.

Sikong Ye turned his head and met Mu Xue's obsessed gaze, his heart softened into a puddle of water, but he asked lightly, "Don't hide from me anymore?"

"How did I escape?" Mu Xue withdrew her gaze and lowered her eyelashes, "Young City Lord thinks too much."

Having just narrowly escaped from death, and it is not known whether he will be able to get out of the Jinxiu pile alive, Sikong Ye naturally didn't have the heart to bother with her about these trivial matters, so he just asked, "How did you fall into the trap?"

When mentioning this, Mu Xue felt that this matter was really a big failure in her life, and replied angrily: "It should be because someone tampered with it in the water."

It is not that there are no wells in Jinxiudui, but the water quality is not good. It can barely make do with watering the flowers, but it is not good for drinking or cooking.

As Sikong Ye who lives at the top, he naturally has the best food and clothing, and Jinxiu piled up Mu Xue, and he never used a second-class thing.

The water used here is mountain spring water transported from Yuquan Mountain.

Yuquan Mountain got its name because of the many springs, not to mention the city lord's mansion, but anyone with certain conditions in Yecheng must bring water from there. This mountain spring water is used for cooking tea.

Yuquan Mountain is about a hundred miles away from the main city of Yecheng, and the road is rugged, so it is not impossible for someone to tamper with it, even though Yunshui is escorted by government soldiers along the way.

Moreover, the amount of things in the water must be very small, and even people like Mu Xue have not noticed it.

The first time he administered the medicine, he might have been tempted, so he must be very cautious. Once he found that Jinxiudui hadn't noticed it, he would increase the dose every day.

This kind of water is used all over Jinxiudui, because a lot of water is brought back every day, even Mu Xue still has a lot of leftovers besides drinking, washing, and bathing.

Sikong Ye is not that kind of stingy person either, if there is any surplus, Jinxiu Heap can use it, but the remaining water is not too much, it is only enough for food and tea, as for the water needed for daily use, it has to be obtained from the city. The sweet water well was brought over.

It is precisely because the servants feel that the spring water of Yuquan Mountain is rare, so there is no waste, and this is one of the reasons why they are more poisoned than Mu Xue.

Another main reason is that Mu Xue has experienced resistance to various drugs in the city of death, so her sensitivity to drugs is not that high.

The last time she used water, more drugs were given, but this time Mu Xue didn't drink tea, she just ate and drank soup. The taste of the food and soup covered up the smell of the drugs, so she still didn't notice it.

But Xiao Ning and other servants are different. I don't know how much water I drank during the day, and the natural symptoms will appear faster.

Although Mu Xue had never seen how the people hiding in the dark plotted against her, she could figure it out if she thought about it carefully.

Sikong Ye naturally figured it out, the corners of his lips were very cold and hard, that's good, that's good, and he actually made his mind on the city's water supply, did he really think he was dead?

Mu Xue rolled her eyes and asked, "Young City Master, it's been a habit for many years to transport water from Yuquan Mountain, isn't it?" Leaks.

Not to mention that ordinary thieves and grassroots would never dare to attack these waters, even those who have enemies with Sikong's family don't have the ability to come and do it.

Does Yecheng still lack martial arts masters?Stealing chickens is not a matter of losing money, who would do it?

Therefore, the person who can move hands and feet in the mountain spring water without anyone noticing must be an inner ghost!

Sikong Ye's eyes were gloomy, "Don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter."

Mu Xue sighed for a long time, and stopped talking. In fact, although Sikong Ye gave her a lot of water, her throat would still ache as soon as she spoke.

In addition, my body is still weak, and the strength of the medicine has not passed.

Looking at the fires all around, Mu Xue secretly clenched her fists as she thought of being the servant of Jinxiu Dui, who was a dead ghost without a sound, and her heart was filled with a sense of desolation.

At that time, when she was young, she watched the fire raging, but there was nothing she could do; now that she has learned martial arts all over her body, she is still powerless when encountering the same thing!
Although she tried her best not to have unnecessary feelings with the people in Jinxiudui, she was not a cold-blooded person after all, how could she remain indifferent when seeing so many innocent people die because of her?

Sikong Ye noticed Mu Xue's sad and indignant expression, so he knew what she was thinking at the moment, his eyes darkened involuntarily, and he didn't know whether he should be happy or unhappy.
