The snow that lasted for half a month pushed forward the winter in the imperial capital.
The winter scenery of the imperial capital is famous for its beauty throughout Nanzhou. The ice formed after being covered with snow makes many people stop and pause.
There are countless scenic spots and historic sites in Nanzhou here. The white snow covering these ancient buildings after winter seems to be telling the stories of the past, and the sense of age and atmosphere suddenly comes.
Therefore, every year after winter comes, the Imperial Capital always welcomes a group of tourists to enjoy the winter scenery.
Every year when winter comes, clearing the snow has become something that the servants of Yunzhao must do every morning.
Yun Yuwei got up very early in the morning. Things at home were complicated these two days, and she didn't sleep well for several days.
As the new year approaches, she has a lot of work at hand and is busy every day.
Yun Jinghang and his wife were already sitting at the dining table waiting. It was the family's luxury to have breakfast together these two days. Yun Yuwei had not had dinner at Yun's house for three days in a row.
Mu Qian went to Chi Si two days ago. Yun Jingyu's health was not good, and he was afraid of being exposed to the cold air, so he had three meals a day in his yard.
Only three members of Yun Jinghang's family were left at the entire dining table, and even Yun Zaichun ate breakfast in his yard.
"How has Zaichun's health been in the past two days?" Yun Jinghang asked.
Yun Yuwei held the bowl of porridge and said, "Brother, there was a cold wind when I went out two days ago, and I coughed badly."
So people should take good care of themselves and don't wander around randomly.
"His injury was not serious to begin with, and I have been working hard these days to ensure that he takes good care of himself."
Yun Jinghang couldn't help but sigh when he mentioned this. Ever since his father passed away, the Yun family has really been in turmoil.
Hidden arrows and cold arrows come one after another, making it difficult for people to guard against them.
"Qian Qian has been taken care of by Chi Si these two days, so we don't need to worry about it. I just don't know if she has any other thoughts in her mind." Nan Su was still worried about Mu Qian.
After all, Yun Jingyu is more concerned about Zhong Limo than anything else. No child wants to see his father neglecting him and being so kind to other children.
Although the child didn't say it, Nan Su could see her disappointment in Yun Jingyu from her eyes.
"It doesn't matter if you let her live with Chi Si, she will be out of sight and out of mind after all." Yun Jinghang said.
He now understood why his father asked Chi Si to take care of Mu Qian in the first place. The old man had settled everything.
"I'm full and I'm going out first."
Yun Yuwei stood up to say goodbye to her father, and watched her father's back disappear at the door. She sat down and looked at Nan Su with some worry.
"Mom, what should we do next?"
The second uncle's side was dead, and it was impossible for him not to save Zhong Limo, so even Yun Yuwei, who had always respected Yun Jingyu, was afraid this time that he would really trade Mu Qian for Zhong Limo.
"It's not like you don't understand Chi Si's character. It's the most difficult thing to do anything under his nose. Qian Qian is best taken care of by him. You don't have to worry about it. You can go to work in peace. I'm at home.
"
Nan Su calmed her daughter's emotions.
Hearing her words like this, Yun Yuwei still felt uneasy, after all, this was no joke.
Seeing that the Yun family's case is about to be concluded, what if the second uncle causes something to happen at this juncture?
"Don't worry." Nan Su gave her daughter a look of affirmation.
Yun Yuwei Wen Seminary was also busy with work, so he had no choice but to seize the time and go out to work.
Nan Su was the only one left at the table, and the servant behind her watched Nan Su slowly eat breakfast alone.
Why do I feel like my wife has a particularly good appetite this morning? She usually eats everything in just a few bites.
Nan Su drank two bowls of porridge, a box of steamed buns, and two cups of soy milk by herself.
Seeing her like this, the servants were all shocked. They were stunned for a while before they started to clear away the dishes.
It was not a long way from the main hall to the courtyard where they lived. As soon as Nan Sugu closed the courtyard door, two black shadows gathered on the ground and then formed a human shape.
"Master." The two of them nodded respectfully.
"How about the Shu Ling Office?" Nan Su took two steps forward and sat down on the wooden chair in the corridor.
The two people stood upright below, and one of them opened his mouth when he saw this.
"Two days ago, there was movement in the Shuling Department at night. Qin Hui secretly detained many of Xiao Yi's people. These people have now been controlled, and Xiao Yi has no one to use."
Two days have passed, and Xiao Yi is now so anxious at Shu Ling's place that it's useless to jump around.
Those people he had painstakingly cultivated for many years, but in the end they were all eliminated by Qin Hui with thunderous means. More importantly, he could not show any dissatisfaction.
"Qin Hui struck very quickly and with a clear target in mind."
If there is no definite and conclusive information on such a matter, you cannot act rashly, otherwise it will be a warning, which can easily cause unnecessary trouble.
If Qin Hui dared to take such a drastic action, he must have some corresponding information.
"Qin Hui met the eldest young master the night he took action." The two continued.
Nan Su knew in her heart that Zai Chun had been under Xiao Yi's hands for so many years and he was not a completely ignorant child. No matter what he did, it must have been recorded.
Qin Huineng watched with cold eyes as Xiao Yi used power for personal gain to threaten the Yun family without being moved, just because he wanted to get evidence from the Yun family that could restrain Xiao Yi.
"Zhong Limo was moved to the pursuit department and is now under Qiu Yuerong's hands."
The person also successfully passed from Xiao Yi's hands to Qiu Yuerong's hands. Everyone who knows Qiu Yuerong knows this well.
What kind of person is that? Qiu Yuerong can never be recruited casually.
Once a person is in her hands, there is only one way to go, and that is to face trial.
"Now that the person is in Qiu Yuerong's hands, it means that she has no use value at all. Since there will no longer be anyone to protect her, there is no need for us to bother. You can find an opportunity to send her away."
Nan Su looked at a worn amulet in his hand and spoke softly.
"Then what if Mr. Second blocks it?"
They all know the current situation. If Yun Zaichun cannot get the letter of understanding from the Yun family, then there will be only the last way to rescue Zhong Limo.
Just steal people directly from Shu Ling.
Or wait until you are on the road to exile before taking action. This is undoubtedly the best way.
"Don't worry about it. I've said everything I need to say. If he insists on having his own way, you don't have to worry about his face. Just don't hurt his life."
Although Zhong Limo's existence was insignificant, they did not take him seriously, but this person was regarded as a treasure by Yun Jingyu.
Nan Su has never liked Zhong Limo, but he has never cared about her dealings with the Yun family.
But this time, the turmoil Zhong Limo caused in the Yun family had already made Nan Su murderous.
If Mu Qian hadn't planned in advance, it's not certain how many of the Yun family would be left talking here.
Nan Su's dislike for her has now completely turned into disgust. Since she has done something wrong, she should be punished. No matter who gives the punishment, it should be the result she has to bear.
"yes."
The people below disappeared into the courtyard with the sound of wind.
…
Mu Qian was quite happy staying at Chi Si these two days. After all, it was a good day to be able to put on a shirt, put out food, and open one's mouth.
What makes people even happier is that there is always a handsome guy by his side, who can be looked at and entertained at any time.
But she had to prepare for going north. After getting up in the morning, Mu Qian dragged her back to Yunzhai.
Chi Si looked at the person sitting in front of the study, looking through things, and slowly took the water glass over, looking at her troubled expression.
"Just follow me, there's no need to prepare these things."
The man looked at the old map she had pulled out from somewhere in her hand.
"I have been to the border between the northern and southern states once, but I have not entered the hinterland, so I have to be more careful.
Time has passed and the land has changed, and the original appearance of Wuzhou Continent no longer exists, but the location of the border between the northern and southern states corresponds exactly to the north of the once prosperous dynasty.
The landforms in the north are unique, and even the weather varies after a ten-mile walk. It is full of wind and sand, but it also has a humid and hot forest climate.
Mu Qian thought of this and looked at Chi Si, "I remember the north of Pan Geng of the Night Clan. So, that's where you once lived."
There is nothing wrong with following him.
"Time has changed. After so many years, things will definitely change to some extent."
So don't worry too much, he might not be able to find the way.
"No matter how much things change, there are still some things that will remain." Chi Si responded.
Mu Qian had just sorted out the map when Heng Li hurriedly walked in from the door.
"The news from the Shuling Department is that Zhong Limo was poisoned."
Mu Qian raised her eyebrows. She could be poisoned while being locked up. This was because the people at Shuling Department couldn't tolerate her.
"Nowadays, people are being imprisoned by Qiu Yuerong. Qiu Yuerong is cautious in doing things and is not a lynching person. How could a good person be poisoned?" Mu Qian wondered.
Heng Li told the news exactly as it was, "Qiu Yuerong has caught the poisoner. The man didn't say anything, but our people saw him coming out of Zhong's house in the morning."
It would be interesting if the person who poisoned her belonged to the Zhong family, because Zhong Yuanzhi could no longer tolerate his daughter and wanted to avoid any further trouble before the people at Shu Ling Department found out anything.
That one was too cruel. After all, she was his biological daughter, so this person was really willing to do it.
"After all, she is my biological daughter who has watched her grow up. Zhong Yuanzhi is really ruthless." Mu Qian snorted and shook her head.
"Then should this news be released to the Yun family?"
Wouldn't it be bad if Yun Jingyu would become even more anxious if he knew about it?
"Wait a minute, are you sure that the poison is a lethal amount and not a trap set up by the Zhong family to force the Yun family to take action?"
According to Yun Jingyu's level of concern, now that Zhong Limo has been poisoned, wouldn't he be even more anxious and eager to save the person?
"It's not necessarily true. Zhong Limo's poisoning is of no harm to many people. If Qiu Yuerong's guards are unfavorable and the prisoner dies, then it's a matter of pursuing the department. This is a good thing for Xiao Yi. If Zhong Limo's poisoning
From Yuanzhi's perspective, it can force Yun Jingyu to make a decision as soon as possible."
After listening to Chi Si's words, Mu Qian also understood that there are too many people who have reasons to take Zhong Limo's life. If we want to calculate who the murderer is, I am afraid that even the least suspicious person will not be able to find one.
"Second Miss, Mr. Zhong is here and wants to see you." Mo Yun said at the door.
Before dinner, Zhong Yuanzhi came over to meet someone. He must have lost his temper.
Mu Qian took Chi Si to the living room to wait. Zhong Yuanzhi came in wrapped in wind and snow. When he saw the person in front of him, he bowed at 90 degrees.
"Please help Mr. Chi."
Mu Qian pushed the person next to her unhappily. Zhong Yuanzhi came here specially to beg Chi Si.
Why on earth does everyone think that as long as they find her, they can find Chi Si.
Why is such news circulating among everyone?
"I'm afraid Mr. Zhong is mistaken. There is no festive contact between the Chi family and the Zhong family. How do you start talking about this?" Heng Li said at the side.
Zhong Yuanzhi no longer cared about the etiquette of his elders and juniors, and kept an extremely low profile in front of the two of them.
"I know that the only person in the entire empire who can solve the Zhong family's predicament is Fourth Master Chi. Relevant departments have already begun investigating the Zhong family. I would like to ask you to help me save this property."
When Zhong Yuanzhi said this, he looked at Mu Qian with firm eyes, "No matter what price you pay, I can bear it."
Listening to his words, Mu Qian also knew what this man meant. The implication was that he wanted to abandon his daughter.
"Then I want to hear what price you can pay." Mu Qian said.
Zhong Yuanzhi handed over what he had brought. It was a voice recorder, and it looked to be quite old.
"I know that Miss Yun Er is currently investigating your mother and Lin Yiyi. I can help you."
Mu Qian made no move, "Really? Are you willing to tell me what happened between you and Lin Yiyi?"
"Back then, Lin Yiyi used your mother as a springboard to get to know me. She tried every means to seduce me and then became the woman next to me. I knew Jing Yu loved her, but what Jing Yu loved was just a false woman. Lin Yiyi kept saying she loved her back then.
I, in fact, what I fell in love with was just my status."
Speaking of this, Mu Qian was particularly confused. No matter from which perspective, it seemed that the Yun family was more prosperous than the Zhong family.
Lin Yiyi met Zhong Yuanzhi later than Yun Jingyu. If it was really for status, why didn't she choose the better Yun Jingyu.
As if he noticed her doubts, Zhong Yuanzhi continued.
"Because when Jing Yu entered Shu Ling Chu, he concealed his status from the outside world. Except for a few close people, no one in Shu Ling Chu knew that he was the second son of the Yun family."
In this way, this reason can be justified.
Seeing that she still seemed not very interested, Zhong Yuanzhi gritted his teeth and revealed an even more shocking secret.
"And the person who saved Yun Jingyu's life on the border between the two states was Ning Xi, not Lin Yiyi..."
