Mrs. Xu looked blank, looking at the blood on her husband's shoulder, and then at the jade hairpin next to her, her face turned pale, her lips trembling slightly:

"I'm sorry master... I... I..."

She didn't know what was going on, but she was so angry just now.

She even wanted to kill her husband.

She could clearly perceive anger, but she couldn't suppress it rationally.

After all, Xu Youxin was an official of the imperial court, so he calmed down quickly, picked up a handkerchief and pressed it on the wound, and looked at Chen Mu: "Tell me, what's going on."

Chen Mu clasped his fists in salute: "My lord, just before that, Zhang Awei fell into madness just like Mrs. Ling."

Xu Youxin narrowed his eyes.

Chen Mudao: "Because I'm the supervisor of Zhenmagic Division, I can see that Zhang Awei and Mrs. Ling have a black spider tattoo on their wrists."

"Spider tattoo?" Xu Youxin frowned.

Chen Mu nodded: "Now I suspect that someone secretly put a voodoo on Zhang Awei and Madam Ling, and this kind of voodoo will affect emotions and make people lose control."

Xu Youxin recalled his wife's crazy behavior just now.

Although his wife would quarrel with him on weekdays, she would never kill someone like a lunatic, even if the death of her child was very irritating to her.

"Continue." Xu Youxin said calmly.

Chen Mu glanced at Mrs. Xu, and said, "At present, we don't know who the vomiter is and what their purpose is, but according to my speculation, there is a big conspiracy in it. Maybe the death of Young Master Ling was also planned. And Zhang Awei is just a tool to take the blame for others."

"Does this Gu have any side effects?" Xu Youxin asked.

Chen Mu shook his head: "I don't know, but this Gu should be determined by emotions. If a person's emotions are stimulated, then the Gu poison will break out, causing the person to completely lose control and eventually kill someone."

Emotions are stimulated...

Xu Youxin's eyes flickered towards his wife.

As a third-rank official of the imperial court, it is not a trivial matter that the wife beside him has fallen into a gu.

If there is a conspiracy, then there is a big problem.

When Madam Xu heard Chen Mu's words, she was also terrified: "You...don't talk nonsense, how could I be tricked into me—"

Seeing the wound on her husband's shoulder, the woman closed her mouth again.

Eyes full of fear.

Seeing that Xu Youxin was a little shaken, Chen Mu added another fire:

"My lord, I'm afraid that it's not just Zhang Awei and your lady who have been poisoned, there may be other people, such as the wives of other officials in the court..."

Xu Youxin's eyes were sharp, releasing a chill like the eyes of an eagle.

After a while, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth:

"You are very good at seizing the opportunity. Before you reach a conclusion, you start to make the case bigger and clear your brother's name."

"My lord, the lower officials are just worried."

Having been peeked into his mind, Chen Mu was not embarrassed, and his tone was serious. "This matter is really strange. I hope that the adults will give me more time so that the officials can investigate it carefully."

Xu Youxin suddenly asked: "Can you Zhenmai division solve this Gu?"

Chen Mu hesitated for a while, telling the truth:

"This has to be reported and investigated by professional experts, but Madam Ling's Gu is controlled by emotions, as long as you don't provoke her, it should be fine.

But just to be on the safe side, the next official suggested to lock Madam Ling in the room first, and then help Madam Ling after we find a way to understand Gu. "

Chen Mu is just speculating now.

Whether it is Gu or not is hard to say.

But now that there is a new clue, it is necessary to seize this clue and make the matter as big as possible, so as to keep Zhang Awei completely.

Xu Youxin moved his shoulders a little, blood seeped from the handkerchief.

He lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then said softly:

"If you can really find out that there is a murderer behind the scenes who is estimated to have killed my son, then I will not pursue Zhang Awei's responsibility, and treat it as an exchange of benefits for you to save my life.

But if you can't find it out, I don't care if he was used because of a Gu, I have to give my son an explanation! "

Hearing this, Chen Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Ah Wei's fate was recovered.

After all, Young Master Xu was indeed killed by Ah Wei, this cannot be denied, if Xu Youxin insists on this point, he will be fine.

Now as long as there is evidence to prove that there is another reason for Xu Wuqing's death, Ah Wei can be saved.

And from his intuition, Chen Mu believed that Master Xu's death was definitely something tricky.

"Come on, send Madam to the backyard first."

Xu Youxin waved to the servants in the mansion, and said in a low voice. "Shut up in the house, and don't allow anyone to come near her without my permission."

"Yes."

The servant nodded and took Mrs. Xu away.

"My lord, I will send someone to your house to ask Madam some questions later, I hope Madam will cooperate."

Chen Mu said sincerely.

Xu Youxin waved his hand: "Yes, but if you want to make a big fuss about this matter, it will alarm the Queen Mother and the Emperor. You have to think clearly."

"Don't worry, my lord, I know it well."

Chen Mu's eyes were bright.

Looking at the handsome young man in front of him, Xu Youxin squinted his moist and deep black pupils, and said in a tone of mixed emotions, "Chen Mu, you are really amazing... Also thank you for saving me."

"This is the duty of a subordinate officer."

Chen Mu cupped his hands.

Xu Youxin was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "You have heard some rumors about the prince's civet cat recently."
