She lowered her voice and looked at Lin Mengwu with disdain.
It seemed that Lin Mengwu's life and death were in her hands.
In an instant, the jealousy and hatred in Lin Mengwu's heart rolled like a huge wave.
"Miss Wu, if you understand, don't think too much in the future. The Gong Family doesn't need your food. "
She curled her lips into an indifferent smile.
It seemed that Lin Mengwu was just a clown in her eyes.
Lin Mengwu hated Su Mei from the bottom of her heart. Her arrogance of being superior to others had now been ruthlessly trampled on by Su Mei.
"Su Mei, how dare you!"
"Why wouldn't I dare? Fortunately, we are in the Mu Family. If we were somewhere else, I would have kicked you out! "
Lin Mengya turned around and nodded at Mu Yucheng.
"Sorry, I've made a fool of myself. I'll take my leave now."
She straightened her back and took Xiu with her and disappeared from their sight.
"Young Master, Miss Wu is tired."
Shangguan Qing grabbed Lin Mengwu's hand tightly, fearing that her daughter would do something stupid at this moment.
Mu Yucheng's face was still as cold as ice as he watched those women disappear from his sight.
It was … extremely stupid.
He leaned back slightly and relaxed his body against the chair.
At the end of the day, she was a woman. She always thought that she was smart, but in the end, she was just a group of trash that couldn't do anything right.
The Gong Family would be in his hands sooner or later.
Lin Mengya and Xiu didn't walk fast, and Xiu kept looking back as she walked.
Seeing her like this, Lin Mengya couldn't help shaking her head and tugging at her sleeve.
"Don't look. They won't catch up with us. Don't worry."
Xiu sighed, and her thin shoulders slumped slightly.
Her big, watery eyes were filled with a bit of worry.
"Elder Sister Ya, I'm afraid our days here will be even more difficult. You really shouldn't have acted on impulse just now … "
Xiu's voice became lower and lower.
In fact, in her heart, Elder Sister Ya had always been a smart and wise person.
Why did she lose her cool again and again when it came to the Mu Family?
Lin Mengya smiled. This little girl still liked to show everything on her face.
She poked Xiu's smooth and delicate forehead with her fair fingers. Knowing that there was no one around, she still lowered her voice and said.
"If I don't act rashly, how will they let down their guard against me?"
Hearing this, Xiu immediately understood.
He looked around nervously and then leaned over to whisper into her ear.
"Could it be that big sister Ya is pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger? But aren't we here to be hostages? "
She felt a little helpless.
This lass was really quick-witted when she was quick-witted.
But when he was confused, he was simply a little idiot.
"Why am I a hostage?"
"Naturally, it's because of Second Young Master."
"Then why hasn't the Second Young Master's matter been resolved yet?"
I know! You're saying that whoever started the trouble should untie it, right? "
Xiu was suddenly enlightened and finally understood her painstaking efforts.
Lin Mengya nodded and turned to look around before continuing.
"The death of the man from the Mu Family is too strange. If Mu Yucheng really wanted to avenge his clansmen, he would not have come to the Gong Family first. Instead, he would have used all means to punish the murderer. But as you can see, although Second Elder Brother was locked up by them, he was not hurt at all. Moreover, Mu Yucheng suggested that I be a hostage in exchange for a chance for the Gong Family to investigate. Don't you think it's a little strange? "
Xiu thought for a moment and felt that what Lin Mengya said made sense.
"So you want to take this opportunity to make Mu Yucheng let down his guard against you. In this way, you can find the evidence of them framing Second Young Master, right? "
"Yes, but this is only one of them. Let's go back first. Soon, Mu Yucheng will have an answer."
Looking at the mysterious look on Lin Mengya's face, Xiu felt an itch in her heart.
Her pretty face was full of curiosity and expectation. She always felt that Elder Sister Ya was hiding many things in her heart.
She was right. Not long after they returned to the courtyard, Mu Zhen came to deliver a message.
Mu Yucheng had agreed to her condition, but they had to go out once every five days.
Every time they went out, they could not go out for more than four hours, and they must be accompanied by the people of the Mu Family.
Two more old maids came to the courtyard, but they were much kinder than the first two.
However, Lin Mengya could sense that the two of them were skilled in martial arts.
After dinner, she tried to go out for a walk. Not only did they not stop her, but they also left one of them to look after the house, and the other followed her obediently.
No matter where she went, they did not say a word.
It seemed that Mu Yucheng allowed her to stroll around the mansion as she pleased.
Because it was a temporary residence, the size of the courtyard was not big.
But the servants of the Mu Family were very well-behaved. In these few days, she could feel that the Mu Family had a strong sense of hierarchy.
And those servants were all trembling with fear, for fear that they would do something wrong.
She was not so kind to care about these people.
The one who poisoned her was one of them.
Even if they did not do anything evil now, it was hard to guarantee that they would not do anything to her in the future.
After walking around for a while, they returned to the courtyard again.
Xiu politely kept the two old maids out of the door. After closing the door and windows, they washed up and chatted softly.
"Did you see anything unusual, Miss?"
Lin Mengya took the cloth towel from Xiu and wiped her hands.
In the system, the topographic map of the Mu Family had basically been constructed.
And the places that she was concerned about were also marked.
"The Mu Family is very strange. I heard that their puppets are always with them, no matter where they are. But I didn't see any medicinal materials for making puppets in the courtyard. "
In fact, the Shen Nung system did not find much.
Except for bits and pieces, she did not find anything else.
Whether it was a human puppet or an animal puppet, it needed to be maintained in order to maintain its normal operation.
It was like oiling a machine. To make a puppet durable and useful, it had to be maintained regularly.
But the strange thing was that there were no medicinal materials here.
Could it be that she had guessed the Mu Family's method of making puppets wrongly?
"Sister Ya, do you suspect that the person who framed Second Young Master has something to do with puppets?"
"It's very likely. Eldest Brother and Fourth Elder Brother had asked someone to secretly interrogate the people present. They all said that they saw Second Elder Brother cut off the man's head with their own eyes. But there was one thing. The head didn't fly up, but fell directly to the ground. "
Second Elder Brother was very strong.
When she was in Dragon City, she had heard about Second Elder Brother fighting with a vicious wolf when he was young.
It was said that the wolf was as tall as a man, but Second Elder Brother, who was born with great strength, cut off its head.
Second Elder Brother was good at using a long knife. With such strength, the wolf's head was splashed with blood. At that time, Second Elder Brother was known as Asura.
But a human's head was much more fragile than a beast's, right?
Second Elder Brother's martial arts were far more powerful than before. Why did the man's head fall to the ground?
It was probably because of this that Second Brother was distracted and got caught by the Mu Family.
In other words, he did not expect this to happen.
"Now that you mention it, it does not make sense. But now, the Mu Family insists that Second Young Master killed the man. We can't do anything about it. Moreover, who would be able to kill that person in front of Second Young Master without anyone noticing? "
That was where the problem lay.
She came to the Mu Family mainly for two things.
First, she wanted to find out what happened that day and get justice for Second Elder Brother.
Second, she wanted to use this place as a breakthrough point.
Over the past few days, those conspiracies that were clearly aimed at the five brothers and great-grandfather in the family had almost silently enveloped the Gong family.
She felt that these things could not be so coincidental that they happened at almost the same time.
These things must be related.
And among them, the first to jump out to pick a fight with the Gong Family was the Mu Family.
If that was the case, she could only go all the way from the Mu Family. She refused to believe that she could not find the reason.
"It's true that ordinary people can't do it, but the Mu Family can."
They had the puppetry skill and the fatal Life-fetching Thread.
In this way, it seemed that the Mu Family had put on a good show of a thief crying thief.
"But, the Mu Family must have gotten rid of all the evidence. How can we find out? "
Xiu looked worried. It was easy to say, but she felt helpless when it came to doing it.
"They can destroy any evidence, but they can't destroy one thing for the time being."
"Sister Ya is talking about the corpse?"
She nodded.
Although Mu Yucheng had ulterior motives, the other members of the Mu Family might not know the truth.
There must be someone who really thought that the Mu Family died tragically in the hands of Second Elder Brother and wanted justice.
Therefore, in order to arouse the hatred of the Mu Family, the corpse could not be buried for the time being.
The Mu Family had the technology to make puppets, so it was too easy for them to keep the corpse from rotting.
"But how could the Mu Family let us see the corpse?"
Unexpectedly, Lin Mengya blinked at him.
"Who said we're going to see the corpse?"
"But just now you …"
"Since they don't allow us to see the corpse, let's change to a way where we can see it freely."
A sense of uneasiness emerged from Xiu's heart.
She couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva nervously. Things couldn't be like what she thought, right?
The next day, when the disguised Fourth Young Master met Sister Ya in the teahouse, Xiu knew that her worry had come true.
