Xiu's shout immediately alerted the people guarding outside.
Someone rushed in immediately, but Xiu saw that the person's clothes were covered with dust, and there was a burnt smell on his body.
But she seemed not to see it, and said anxiously with a sobbing tone.
"What should I do? My husband said he was not feeling well early in the morning. I guess he has not recovered from the poison a while ago. Hurry up and get the doctor!"
The person looked around the room vaguely, and apparently realized something, and immediately answered.
"Okay, I'll go get the doctor now. You'd better watch your husband."
Xiu wiped her tears, and seemed to be suddenly enlightened and helpless.
Then she ran into the room and deliberately shouted.
"Sir, you have to hold on! The doctor will be here soon. You can't fall down! "
Lin Mengya couldn't help smiling when she saw that this girl was so clever and worked hard.
Why didn't she feel that all the people around her were all drama queens?
"It seems that the fire last night was really big. They all seemed to have rolled in the soil."
"The courtyard has been burned down, how can it be small? By the way, when they come later, do as I say, understand? "
Xiu instantly patted her chest and promised.
"Don't worry, I'll do my best!"
Lin Mengya was quite helpless. This was another movie queen who was delayed.
Soon there were other noises outside, and Lin Mengya immediately lay on the bed. After a night of torment, she looked a little pale and haggard.
"Doctor, doctor, you're finally here! Hurry up and check on my husband to see if the poison has acted up again. "
The gray-haired old doctor was almost pulled down by Xiu.
But he was the patient's family member, and there was nothing he could do even if he was anxious. He could only take a deep breath and then said breathlessly.
"I say, Miss, this old body of mine can't withstand your torment."
Xiu immediately pursed her lips and stood aside aggrievedly. She played the role of a loyal little girl to the fullest.
"Miss, how do you feel now?"
Lin Mengya stretched out one hand to let the doctor feel her pulse, and then said softly.
"I don't know if it was because I was scared that day, but I felt like I couldn't move at all last night. It was like I was being held down by a ghost."
Hearing what she said, the old doctor and the shop assistant exchanged a glance vaguely.
Lin Mengya pretended not to see it. The old doctor also acted as if nothing had happened and said with a smile.
"Your body is too weak, and you've suffered a shock. I'll just prescribe a few pills for you."
"Thank you, doctor."
In front of an expert like her, the quack doctor, who was not skilled enough, could not see any clues.
Xiu followed the doctor out and then boiled the medicine herself. She carefully brought it to Lin Mengya.
Based on their performance, it was likely that the other party would completely believe that she had fallen into the trap.
She poured the medicine in the corner. Although the medicine did not work on her, who would like to drink this bitter juice?
She had thought that she would be able to stay in the courtyard quietly, but she did not expect that someone would come looking for her so soon.
Looking at Muyucheng, who was visibly more dispirited than before, Lin Mengya could not help but be extra careful.
After all, he had been tricked last night, so he must be in a bad mood now.
Well, his life was more important.
"Good morning, Young Master."
She sat on the bed and wanted to get up to greet him, but she did not have the strength to do so.
Mu Yucheng did not say a word. He just stood in front of her and stared at her with his long and sinister eyes, like a wild beast looking at its prey.
Lin Mengya smiled apologetically. Her eyes were still full of fear, like a frightened deer. Her eyes were misty and she looked at him timidly.
"Have you heard about what happened last night?"
"Young Master, you know about it too?"
She asked in puzzlement. Mu Yucheng raised his eyebrows and the aura around him became colder.
"It seems that I have underestimated Mr. Su Mei."
Lin Mengya subconsciously shrank back and said cautiously.
"Young Patriarch, this matter isn't my fault in the first place. After I was poisoned, I was frightened, and that's why my body is in such a poor state. Su Mei, I really don't understand what you mean. "
Mu Yucheng paused for a while and then sneered.
"You really didn't give me any face when you set fire to my house. I should ask Mr. Su Mei how I have offended you, or who gave you the courage to do so! "
Her slender neck was tightly gripped by a pair of pale hands.
She opened her eyes wide and tried to break it off, but the strength of the other party was several times stronger than hers.
Xiu screamed and immediately went to help.
"Let go of my master! What fire? My master suffered last night. I think we should be the ones who have fire! "
Mu Yucheng glared at the maidservant and she immediately retreated, but there was still anger in her eyes.
At this moment, Mu Yucheng realized that he might have made a mistake.
He loosened his fingers a little, and Lin Mengya immediately gasped for breath, looking at him in shock.
"You really don't know anything about what happened in my house last night?"
Lin Mengya struggled to get rid of his hand, rolled and crawled to the innermost part of the room, and looked at him tremblingly.
"I … I was held down by a ghost last night. What do you mean? Are you saying that the Mu family is also haunted? "
Mu Yucheng's murderous intent subsided a little when he saw that what she said was not true.
In that instant, he had almost killed her.
But judging from her reaction, it seemed that she really did not know about the arson.
Mu Yucheng withdrew his hand and stared at her, but the doubts in his heart lessened a little.
"You were held down by a ghost last night?"
Lin Mengya nodded desperately and her eyes were full of fear.
"I'm sorry, I was too impulsive."
Mu Yucheng took a step back and said that he was apologizing, but it was not sincere.
He sat by the table and looked at her with a faint smile.
"Last night, my house was set on fire and many people were burned to death. I thought someone wanted to take revenge on me, so I offended you. "
Bah, he was obviously suspecting that she did it.
But Lin Mengya did not show it on her face.
"I … I can't do anything about it. But I really didn't set the fire last night. You know that I can't leave this place, and the people outside can testify that I haven't left this place since I came in. "
"Ha, of course. But it seems that you went out a few days ago, but I don't know who you met or what you did. "
Mu Yucheng squinted and looked at her.
As expected, he came. Lin Mengya knew that with his suspicious mind, he would definitely suspect her.
Fortunately, she had already made ample preparations.
"I, I remember that I went shopping that day and bought some clothes and jewelry. I can't remember anything else. Oh yes, didn't you send someone to follow me? Su Mei obeyed your order and didn't dare to leave. "
This was in line with what Mu Yucheng had heard. Indeed, when Su Mei went out that day, his men were not left behind.
Could it be that she really did not collude with the Gong family?
After thinking for a while, Mu Yucheng threw out another piece of news.
"Then do you know that the corpse of my clan brother was also stolen last night during the chaos?"
She really didn't know about this matter.
"I, I don't know about this. Young Master, if you suspect that this has something to do with Su Mei, you can investigate it. I have a clear conscience. But since I volunteered to be a hostage of the Mu family, it represents the sincerity of the Gong family. The Gong family also wants to investigate this matter clearly, so that justice can be served to the deceased. But stealing the corpse will intensify the conflict between our two sides. I hope that Young Master will not fall into someone else's trap! "
In fact, what she said was exactly the same as what Mu Yucheng had thought.
If this was not done by the Gong family, then it must be done by those guys who wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.
However, the suspicion of the Gong family could not be cleared just like that.
"Mr. Su Mei, you were trembling in fear just now, but now your mind is so clear. Did you already know the inside story?"
Hearing this, Lin Mengya swallowed and let out a long breath.
"Of course I'm afraid, but I'm more afraid that you will be provoked and kill me."
After saying that, she looked timidly at the big hand that was about to snap her neck.
Mu Yucheng looked at her with a fake smile. It seemed that she was quick-witted in the face of danger.
Well, whether it was the Gong family or not, she was in his hands. Sooner or later, he would find out the answer.
"Since you don't want to die, then stay here obediently."
"Young Master, may I ask, where is the good-for-nothing Miss Wu now?"
Mu Yucheng was surprised.
"Oh? I didn't expect Mr. Su Mei to be so concerned about the woman who almost killed you. "
Lin Mengya bit her lip and shook her head.
"I don't care about her. Although we don't get along well and she has long wanted to replace me, we are both members of the Gong family. The conflict between us is a family matter. Since we came out together, we should go back together. "
A trace of disdain flashed across Mu Yucheng's eyes.
"I didn't expect you to learn the hypocrisy and pedantry of the Gong family. She is not dead yet, so I will let her go back to the Gong family alive. "
After saying this, Mu Yucheng left before she could ask any more questions.
"Are you alright, Sir?"
Xiu immediately went to close the door and turned back to the bed. She looked at the red and swollen finger mark on Lin Mengya's snow-white neck.
"Damn Mu Yucheng! I would have poisoned him to death if I hadn't wasted all my efforts! "
Lin Mengya was no longer timid and her eyes were full of coldness.
"Just let him be for a few days. He doesn't even know that his backyard is on fire. Sooner or later, the fire will burn him."
"But why did you plead for Lin Mengwu just now?"
"Silly girl, I was not pleading for her. I was just reminding Mu Yucheng."
She gently flicked Xiu's forehead and raised the corners of her mouth.
