When Pei Yuan left, master Mu personally sent him to the door. This move made the servants of the Mu family curious and looked at him more.

Obviously, he is an ordinary man who has nothing to do with the Mu family. Why does the master value him so much and even send him out in person?

Pei Yuan got into the carriage and dropped the curtain. His ambition in the bottom of his eyes was all dark and cold.

Now he controls the eight princesses and the Mu family. He has endless power and money. As long as he follows his plan, he can quickly ascend to a high position in only two or three years.

Pei Yuan hooked the corner of his mouth and showed a deep smile.

At this time, he suddenly remembered something, smiled and looked down at his wrist. There was a dark mark on his wrist, which hurt his eyes. As long as he saw it, he could think of his pain before he died.

"Who is the person with the red phoenix mark... Can that person be the fourth prince? The fourth Prince is dead, and no one in the world can kill me..."

"But if it weren't for the fourth Prince..."

Pei Yuan's face sank and pulled off his sleeve to cover the black mark on his wrist. "No matter who that person is, as long as I control the power, I can't move me! If you want to kill me, you will pay the price!"

The carriage shook and drove away from Mu's house.

In the hall of the Mu family, master Mu sat in the master's chair and was silent.

Mu Qing knelt on the cold ground and bowed his head deeply. "Dad, it's all my fault. Let the Mu family be threatened."

Master Mu sighed deeply, and the whole man was much older.

Mu Qing's body trembled slightly, clenched his fist and looked annoyed. "I was wrong... What should I do to save the Mu family..."

He regretted it.

If he had known that things would become so, he would not have done anything to murder the eighth princess. In order to vent his hatred, he involved the whole Mu family.

The Mu family was the work of their ancestors for hundreds of years, but it was destroyed by him. Since then, the Mu family has been coerced and is no longer an innocent Mu family.

Master Mu looked at the regretful Mu Qing and sighed, "don't mention the past. Now that it's over, there's no way to regret. After today, you should learn a lesson and don't be impulsive."

"Dad..." Mu Qing seemed to choke and couldn't speak.

"Dad will never watch you die. You have to live well. Dad has only you..." when he said this, master Mu's tone was very sad. "If you go too, what's the meaning of living in this world..."

"Dad! I was wrong." Mu Qing wept and regretted deeply.

Master Mu walked over and picked up Mu Qing. "OK, don't kneel. Now you have to think about countermeasures. Do you know Pei Yuan?"

Mu Qing wiped away his tears with one hand, quickly sorted out his mood, and his face became heavy.

After the calm, many questions floated to my mind.

How did Pei Yuan know that he did it? But also found the evidence of his burning. He arranged it foolproof. How did Pei Yuan detect it?

Mu Qing thought for a moment and said in a calm voice, "he happened to save the eighth princess on his way back to Beijing. If he didn't appear suddenly, my plan would be infallible and there would be no mistake."

Why so happened?

Pei Yuan saved the eighth princess on the way back to Beijing

Mu Qing frowned, and when he remembered it, he held his breath. It was Pei Yuan who ruined his plan!

"Maybe I found a clue when saving the eighth princess, and then found it on me." Mu Qing endured her anger and spoke quietly.

Master Mu sighed. If he had known earlier, he would have stopped Qing'er and wouldn't let him do it. But things have happened, and even reprimand will not help.

"Qing'er, you don't have to blame yourself. It's inevitable that you will do something wrong in life."

"..." Mu Qing bowed his head deeply. How could he not blame himself? Now Peiyuan has the handle. I don't know what the man will ask. It's hard to be coerced.

Master Mu patted Mu Qing on the shoulder. "Fortunately, we don't need to support the seventh prince, and the Mu family doesn't need to intervene in the prince's struggle. Although I don't know what Peiyuan wants, it's much better than the seventh prince."

This is already a blessing in misfortune.

If you participate in the prince's struggle, and finally if all the seven princes lose, the Mu family can't get good, and it is likely to end up in their vein.

Mu Qing doesn't think so. He vaguely feels that Pei is far more difficult than the seventh prince.

Pei Yuan's mind is gloomy. If all this is not by chance, but on purpose, Pei Yuan is much more terrible than the seventh prince.

Master Mu and Mu Qing were silent.

Meanwhile, the Jiang family.

Jiang Jingshu has been absent-minded since she came back from Pei's house. The whole person becomes silent and often looks out of the window, as if she is thinking about something.

Ping'er looked at it all and felt distressed.

In any case, the young lady once lived in the Lin family for more than ten years. Now all the sisters who grew up together have died. I should feel bad.

Ping'er went in with the sweet soup and put it on the table. "Miss, things are changeable and fate is hard to break... Don't be too sad. Don't spoil your body."

Jiang Jingshu's eyes became more heavy.

Is Lin Yiyao's death really because of fate?

Cui'er, Lin Yiyao's maid, said in a panic that she was killed.

"Try it, miss. It's your favorite snow swallow pear soup. It's just boiled in the kitchen." Ping'er opened the lid of the stewed Gu, scooped out a bowl and brought it to Jiang Jingshu.

Jiang Jingshu took the bowl and tasted it. The soup was sweet, but she couldn't taste it at all. She just tasted it and put the bowl down.

Ping'er worried, "is the sweet soup not to miss's taste? Do you want to let the kitchen cook a bowl again?"

"No need." Jiang Jingshu shook her head.

"Miss..." Ping'er wanted to persuade something, so she was interrupted by Jiang Jingshu, "go find lengxue."

"Yes." Ping'er answered and shouted lengxue.

After Ping'er went out, the room returned to silence, and Jiang Jingshu's heart sank.

She didn't want to get involved in the Lin family and Peiyuan, so she refused cui'er at that time, but she didn't forget it after she came back. Lin Yiyao's death was like a thorn deeply buried in her heart.

Lin Yiyao died. She was killed by someone.

No one knows about it. If she doesn't intervene, I'm afraid no one in the world will know the truth again.

In her previous life, she died unjustly. No one knows that she died miserably in Pei's house, and no one helped. Now Lin Yiyao's death is like her. How can she watch?

She wanted to forget and ignore it, but it was firmly in her mind.

After a while, lengxue came in.

"What can I do for you, miss?"

Jiang Jingshu raised her face, looked at her and said, "you go to Pei's house to meet someone secretly. Don't let anyone know. Can you do it?"

"Of course." Leng Xue replied briefly, "I don't know who the young lady wants to see?"

"Cui'er, Lin Yiyao's handmaid, said to her, I want to see her."

"Yes, the maidservant knows." lengxue answered and turned to walk out of the room.

Jiang Jingshu's heart fell a little. In her previous life, she died miserably in Pei's house. Now, Peiyuan must have something to do with Lin Yiyao's death. She did this not only for Lin Yiyao to get justice, but also for herself.

She can't let Peiyuan continue to do evil.

An hour later, lengxue returned to Jiang's house after inquiring about the news. Her face was a little ugly.

Seeing lengxue coming back, Jiang Jingshu immediately stood up and asked, "how's it going? Have you seen cui'er?"

Lengxue was silent and didn't know how to speak.

Seeing lengxue's hesitant face, Jiang Jingshu's heart clicked for a moment, and she had a bad feeling, "what's the matter? What happened?"

"Cui'er is dead." lengxue replied.

"Dead?" Jiang Jingshu's body shook, her whole body became stiff, and her face turned white a little. "What's going on? How did she die?"

"The maid heard a rumor from the Pei family that cui'er had a deep relationship with Mrs. Pei. She couldn't think of it for a moment. She hanged herself the day after her wife's funeral."

"No, it's impossible..." Jiang Jingshu murmured.

She didn't believe cui'er hanged herself.

When she went to Pei's house to mourn, cui'er asked her to help her find the murderer.

Cui'er is loyal and has the courage to say what she saw that day. She wants to avenge Lin Yiyao. She can never hang herself before her grievances come to light.

Someone killed cui'er and pretended to hang himself. Peiyuan is the only one who can do it.

Jiang Jingshu's eyes became cold, "it's him..."

Pei Yuan must have done this. Pei Yuan got rid of cui'er in order to seal it.

Thinking of this, Jiang Jingshu's face changed greatly and her hand slowly stroked her heart. Her heart seemed to be pinched and out of breath.

"I hurt cui'er..."

"Miss?" lengxue goes to help Jiang Jingshu.

Jiang Jingshu grabbed lengxue's hand, "I told cui'er that if there is any grievance, go to their master. Cui'er must have gone to Peiyuan to tell it, and Peiyuan will kill people!"

Jiang Jingshu's face turned white, her eyelashes trembled, and her hands trembled slightly.

If she hadn't said that at that time, if she had stretched out her hand to help cui'er, would cui'er not die?

Lengxue didn't know the whole story, but when she saw the young lady's changed face, she frowned, "young lady, do you mean that cui'er didn't hang herself, but was killed?"

Jiang Jingshu nodded slightly.

Lengxue in turn grabs Jiang Jingshu's hand and holds it tightly to give her strength to rely on. "It was not Miss Cui who killed cui'er, but the murderer who killed cui'er and pretended to hang."

Jiang Jingshu is in a complicated mood. If she had stepped in earlier

Lengxue looked at Jiang Jingshu. "Miss is not an immortal. It's impossible to predict everything."

Lengxue comforted Jiang Jingshu. Her words were cold, but in fact they were so cruel. She had seen many people die. Even if she tried her best to practice martial arts and knife skills, it was impossible to save everyone. She even saw her companions die miserably and could do nothing.

She knew that the young lady was kind-hearted and wanted to try her best to save everyone. When she was in danger, she was doing everything for the people around her.

She doesn't want the young lady to blame herself.
