That night, Liu Yun slept very uneasily, and there was always a suppressed breath in his heart, which made him extremely uncomfortable.
"Who?" Liu Yun was very alert and noticed someone standing beside the bed. Her hand quickly reached under the pillow and took out a dagger. Her movements were smooth and ruthless, not like a woman in purdah at all.
"Young Madam, this move is too cruel." Qin Yi's voice was a bit joking.
Liu Yun frowned, not quite understanding why Qin Yi came to her boudoir in the middle of the night. Although she believed that Qin Yi would never have any undue thoughts about his master's wife, and she didn't
I believe in Qin Yi's character from the bottom of my heart. He is a gentleman and will never do anything sneaky.
But the question is, why did Qin Yi break into her room in the middle of the night?
"Why is it you? Are you okay?" Liu Yun put away the dagger, reached for the coat on the side and put it on his body. Qin Yi's face could not be seen clearly under the weak moonlight, but his pair of shining eyes were
His eyes are still very bright even in the dark night.
"Don't get up. It's very cold in the middle of the night. When the young lady gets sick, the master will blame me again when he comes back." Liu Yun and Dongfang Ye got married, and he told Liu Yun his identity as the owner of Murong Village. Qin Yi naturally
Therefore, he considers himself a subordinate. Although Liuyun is much younger than him, she is still the wife of their master. There is a distinction between master and servant, and there is an order of hierarchy, so naturally she should be respected.
While Qin Yi was speaking, he had already sat on a chair not far from the bed. The two of them kept a safe distance. Qin Yi immediately explained the purpose of his visit, "I heard that the young lady planned to get involved in Xia's death, so I came here.
Yes, I do know something here, maybe the young lady will be interested."
What kind of place is Murong Villa? It is not only rich in the world, but also has very powerful spies scattered in every corner. This is why Murong Villa can come back and rise in such a short period of time and gain a firm foothold. Except for those who can control the black and white.
In addition to one's own strength, one must also have the ability to hold others within their grasp.
"What's the matter?" Liu Yun was just wondering if Qin Yi was here to help her, but now that she heard what he said, it turned out to be true.
"I was ordered to investigate Shen Yi a while ago, and then I investigated all the people related to him, including your Mu family. Then I discovered a very interesting thing. I wonder if the young lady knows about it." Qin Yi also
Without being too pretentious, he gave the answer directly, "More than ten years ago, a concubine in the Mu Mansion gave birth to a son. At the same time, a farmer in the suburbs also gave birth to a son. It is said that the child died in birth, but
Since the child died in infancy, the farmer's family seemed to have become rich overnight, buying land, but it didn't take long for the farmer's family to disappear without a trace."
Liuyun frowned. She didn't quite understand what Qin Yi meant. Did he want to express the connection between this farmer and their Mu Mansion?
"I heard that when this child was born, he had a mole on his shoulder and a brown birthmark on the sole of his foot." Qin Yi added another sentence, teasing with a half-smile, "Young madam, you haven't figured out who it is yet?"
"Hong Jing." Liu Yun's voice was very cold, which seemed extremely abrupt in the middle of the night, giving people a chilling feeling.
"It seems that the young lady also knows that the eldest young master of the Mu family has a mole on his shoulder and a birthmark on the sole of his foot." Qin Yi said with a hint of smile in his tone, "This matter made my subordinates very curious, so I have no time to do so."
I was bored, so I checked it out, and found out that someone gave the farmer a sum of money at that time, and that person was also someone the young lady knew."
"Lin Youzhi." Liu Yun raised the corners of his lips with a faint smile. Everything related to the Lin family will always be related to the Lin family. This has become a law.
At first, the Lin family tried their best to gain access to their Mu family. Later, although Mrs. Lin married into the Mu family, she was always suppressed by her mother, Ji Mengxian, until later she became pregnant before her mother. Mrs. Lin is a sensible person.
, she knew that this might be her only chance to turn around in her life, as long as... there was a boy in her belly.
At that time, Lin Youzhi found several families who were too poor to expose the blame. A son was precious in any family, but for a family that had problems with food and clothing, if someone gave them a sum of money, their son would be given away.
Anyone would be willing to take it back and raise it as a young master.
Mrs. Lin gave birth to a daughter. She was taken away by Lin Youzhi's people before she even had time to take a look at her. Then she gave birth to a son from a farmer. It was because of this eldest son that Mrs. Lin's status rose steadily.
, and even later became half the head of the house, all because her son was the eldest son of the Mu family.
"It seems that the young lady really knows a lot about the Lin family." Qin Yi admired. I have to say that this eldest lady is really very smart. He just gave her a few words and she was able to figure out a lot on her own.
thing.
"So, what you mean is... Aunt Xia probably knows about this, so that's why Aunt Lin wants to silence her?" If this is really the case, Mrs. Lin does have a motive to kill Aunt Xia, after all, she knows
This secret is so big that it may plunge Lin into eternal doom.
"I'm not a god, and I haven't arranged anyone in Mu Mansion. How could I possibly know what happened between the two of them? I'm just here to tell the young lady something that I should know. It may be helpful but not necessarily
." Qin Yi shrugged and answered irresponsibly.
Liu Yun nodded. It was good that he could tell her so much. At least half of her doubts had been solved.
"Okay, I've finished what I want to say, so I'll take my leave." As he spoke, Qin Yi stood up to leave.
"Wait a minute." Liu Yun suddenly raised her voice, even she was startled. Seeing Qin Yi cast a confused look, she hesitated and said, "Um... I also want to ask, Ye...
…I mean the little Marquis, the owner of your village, how is he doing in the capital?"
In the dark night, Qin Yi had a smirk hanging on the corner of his mouth. Of course, Liu Yun couldn't see it because it was too dark.
"There were constant turmoils in the imperial court. The master used to be a shadow. Now that he is going to the capital with Dongfang Jing this time, it is no wonder that he is a little timid in doing things. However, there are advantages to being open and aboveboard. After all, Dongfang Ye's name as a wise man is still a bit of a deterrent.
"Qin Yi briefly talked about Dongfang Ye's situation, then paused and said, "My master has always been calm and cautious, and will not put himself in danger. Young Madam, you can rest assured."
"Then... when will he come back?" Liu Yun secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, it was in the dark and Qin Yi couldn't see her slightly red cheeks.
"I'm not sure. Now King An's people are standing still. My master went there this time just to make them take the initiative. As long as they take action, my master will have a way to make his people fall." Qin Yi's tone was a little more proud.
, Liu Yun couldn't help but yearn for it, it was a world she had never touched.
"Well, I understand. If you... run into him, tell him to be careful and don't get hurt." Her voice became softer and softer, and in the end it seemed like she was speaking to herself.
However, Qin Yi's hearing was excellent, but he could hear everything clearly. He said, "Don't worry, young lady, I will definitely take your worries and thoughts with you," and walked away.
"Damn Qin Yi." Liu Yun's cheeks became even hotter, but a slight smile appeared on his lips.
Because, although she didn't want to admit it on the face, in fact she had already admitted it in her heart.
She, very much, very much, Dongfang Ye.
