Mu Zhen did not want to fall out completely, so he could only be patient and explain with a cold face.
"Miss Gong Wu, I'm afraid you've misunderstood me. Now Mr. Su Mei is in danger. Even if you want to know who the murderer is, you have to wait until the murderer wakes up before confronting him. I'm doing this for the sake of Miss Gong Wu's innocence. I hope you can understand my painstaking efforts. "
Lin Mengwu gritted her teeth with hatred.
Looking at their eyes, it was obvious that they regarded her as the murderer.
Just when she was about to argue, Shangguan Qing stood in front of her.
"What Mr. Mu Zhen said makes sense. But my lady is of high status. Don't you think it's a little inappropriate for you to do this?"
After all, Lin Mengya was much more experienced than Lin Mengwu. She felt a little pity when she was carried to the bed.
She really wanted Lin Mengwu to make a scene, so that the Mu family would be more suspicious of her.
Now it seemed that she would have to give a discount.
As expected, Mu Zhen changed his attitude slightly.
And Lin Mengwu also took a step back. Although she was still unwilling, at least she did not lose her temper on the spot.
Soon, the doctor invited by the Mu family arrived.
After checking her pulse and giving her medicine, the master and the servant finally "woke up".
Seeing that they were getting better, Mu Zhen immediately stood in front of them.
"Mr. Mu, what's wrong with me?"
In the eyes of others, her face was pale, her eyes were dim, and her voice was slightly weak and a little hoarse.
One could tell that she had suffered a lot at first glance.
Mu Zhen looked a little serious, and there was a little more scrutiny in his eyes when he looked at her.
"I'm afraid that Mr. Su Mei has been poisoned."
Hearing this, she showed fear at the right time.
But she managed to suppress it in an instant, and unconsciously put her hand on her chest and clenched it into a fist.
"Who is it that wants to take my life? Don't tell me that the Mu family wants to silence us? "
Her eyes were glistening with tears.
Although Mu Zhen was a little dissatisfied in his heart, he also knew that anyone who had a trip to the gates of hell would not be particularly calm.
At that moment, he could only comfort her with warm words.
"Sir, you've wronged us. Furthermore, it's not that my Mu Family sincerely wants to reconcile with the Gong Family. Even if we want to play tricks, we wouldn't do it so crudely. If we really had the heart, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to save you by now. "
She hesitated for a moment, but soon revealed an indignant expression.
"No matter what, I was harmed by your Mu family. Young Master, I'm afraid you'll have to give me an explanation! "
Seeing that her attitude had softened a little, Mu Zhen was not worried about anything else.
After all, he was poisoned in the Mu family's territory. The Mu family naturally had to investigate the matter thoroughly.
"Don't worry, sir. We will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."
Unexpectedly, Su Mei struggled to sit up.
"No! Since the incident happened in your house, my basic necessities are all taken care of by your family. Now that something like this has happened, I must see the Young Patriarch! "
She had always been a shrewd person. Now that she had recovered a little, it was time for her to show something different.
Seeing her like this, Mu Zhen felt a little relieved.
In fact, he was suspecting whether Su Mei and Gong Wu had collaborated to put on such a show.
But now it seemed that it was not the case.
Su Mei's reaction seemed to be an accident.
Seeing the Young Patriarch's action, apart from wanting an answer, she should also be feeling uneasy. She was afraid that the Mu family was the culprit.
Thinking of this, Mu Zhen bowed and said.
"The Young Patriarch still has something to deal with. I'll report it to him. Now, you'd better take care of yourself. "
She leaned against the bed. Her breathing was a little unstable after a slight movement, not to mention going out to settle the score with someone.
Biting her lips, she finally nodded gently, but the tiredness on her face and the wariness in her eyes were deeper than before.
Mu Zhen looked at her expressionlessly, then went out of the courtyard and went to the study.
At this moment, there were two corpses in front of Mu Yucheng's study.
He frowned slightly. He recognized the two people. They were the two old maids he had assigned to watch over Su Mei.
How could it be …
His heart sank. Oh no, he was the one who did this. If something really happened to these two people, he would also be investigated.
Feeling uneasy, he knocked on the Young Patriarch's door.
Mu Yucheng was sitting on the chair, and there was rarely any other expression on his face.
Even so, Mu Zhen felt cold sweat dripping down his face.
It was as if in the eyes of the Young Patriarch, he was no different from the two dead people outside.
Immediately, he knelt on the ground with a thud.
"It's all my fault! I'm not good enough to make such a mistake. I hope the Young Patriarch will punish me severely! "
Mu Yucheng only glanced at Mu Zhen for a moment before looking away.
"How is she?"
"I've sent for a doctor, and she has woken up now. But the person who poisoned her has not been found yet. "
Mu Zhen immediately felt a cold wind blowing in the study.
He knelt on the ground even more humbly, fearing that the Young Patriarch would punish him.
"Useless."
"Yes, I'm useless."
Mu Zhen did not dare to plead for himself, but he was really afraid.
Mu Yucheng hated this kind of incompetent dog, but now was not the time to punish him.
His eyes fell on the courtyard again.
"The two people were killed. Find out and send them to the puppet room."
Mu Yucheng's words were simple, but it meant two things.
The old maid guarding the place was killed before they could find her.
In this case, it was highly possible that the poison was done by these two old maids.
As for the person who poisoned her, he might have angered the Young Patriarch.
The puppet room was the core place of the Mu Family, and also the darkest and bloodiest place.
In that room, people were not people, but just slightly better materials.
Mu Zhen immediately kowtowed and left in fear.
From the beginning to the end, there was no obvious change in Mu Yucheng's expression.
He slightly tilted his head and looked behind the screen in the study.
In his eyes, there was some kind of crazy flame flashing.
No one could stop him from doing what he wanted to do.
If there was, he would step on it as a stepping stone to success!
Under the intentional control of Lin Mengya and Xiu, they gradually "recovered".
But their bodies were still very "weak", and every time they ate or took medicine, they would be suspicious and use silver needles to test for poison.
Only in this way could they behave like two birds that were frightened by the mere twang of a bow.
Soon, Mu Zhen's side had a result.
"Mr. Mu, you mean the person who hurt me was Miss Wu?"
Lin Mengya sat in the chair, looking surprised and incredulous at the result of Mu Zhen's investigation.
Mu Zhen nodded and put the thing wrapped in a handkerchief in his hand in front of her.
"This was found in Miss Wu's place. It was hidden in an inconspicuous hole in the corner. If it wasn't for the meticulous maid who did the cleaning. I'm afraid it wouldn't have been easy to find. "
She glanced at it, but she was sneering in her heart.
The Mu Family was really biased. Lin Mengwu was not the only one living in that courtyard.
But at present, it seemed that Song Lin 'er had no reason to hurt her.
But she already knew the truth of the matter.
What was the purpose of Song Lin 'er's framing?
Therefore, at least for now, in order to find out Song Lin 'er's real purpose, she had to continue acting.
"I don't believe it! After all, she and I are from the Gong Family. No matter how bad our relationship is, it's our family's business. Why would she hurt me in the Mu Family? I want to see Gong Wu, and I want to confront her on the spot! "
Mu Zhen had guessed that she would do this, but he did not stop her.
He also felt that there was something fishy about this matter, but after a detailed interrogation, there was no trace of falsification in even the smallest details.
But it was better to be cautious.
Lin Mengya went to Lin Mengwu angrily with Xiu.
At this moment, Lin Mengwu was also full of anxiety.
She had been imprisoned here for a few days, unable to see anyone, and unable to send messages.
It was all Song Lin 'er's fault. She was so careless and dragged her down!
But she had something to rely on. After all, she was not completely unaware of the secret agreement between Uncle Tu and the Mu Family.
No matter what, Mu Yucheng would not harm her.
As she thought of this, she gradually suppressed the restlessness in her heart.
But unexpectedly, Su Mei came at this moment.
Lin Mengya kicked open Lin Mengwu's room, and stared at the person with red eyes in exasperation.
Lin Mengwu was obviously shocked, and then she questioned him unhappily.
"Why are you here instead of recuperating from your illness? Don't tell me that you've been poisoned, and your brain is also damaged! "
Lin Mengwu, who was arrogant, would not continue to pretend after being imprisoned and suspected for so many days.
Lin Mengya did not stand on ceremony. She pointed at the person angrily and asked while gritting her teeth.
"Are you the one who poisoned me? Gong Wu, what kind of hatred do you have for me? Why do you have to kill me! "
Lin Mengwu's eyebrows twitched, but when she saw Mu Zhen, who had followed her in, she knew that she could not make a slip of the tongue again, lest they had more evidence against her.
"Su Mei, what you said is unreasonable. You and I are both from the Gong Family, why would I hurt you?"
Lin Mengya sneered and continued to shout.
"Why? It's because I'm on the Master's side! You have long coveted the position of the Master. Now that the Master is not around, it's a good time for you to seize the power! Gong Wu, you'd better give up on this idea. Even if I die, the Gong Family will not fall into your hands! "
Lin Mengwu couldn't take it anymore when she roared at her so recklessly.
