On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

When Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe arrived at the gate of the courtyard, they happened to hear Mu Baodi say this.

Mu Baodi could not hide the sarcasm in her tone. Although her words were unpleasant to the ear, they made people feel that they were true.

"My mother died, so she had the chance to marry into our family and take the position of mistress. She took my mother's place, and everything she enjoyed should have belonged to my mother! Am I crazy? Do I have a good relationship with her?"

"Sir, if your wife were to go, would your daughter like her stepmother?"

Governor Cao: “…” What kind of weird metaphor is this?

"How dare you," Mu Liangze quickly scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Cao, please don't be offended..."

Governor Cao's face darkened: "It's hard for me not to be offended. If you say it to me, it's fine, but if you curse my wife, I'm not very happy."

"Ms. Mu, just tell the truth and don't extend it to other people. My wife has nothing to do with this matter."

Yan Ruyu didn't rush in and listened patiently.

Mu Baodi was silent for a moment and then said, "Sir, I have no ill intentions, it's just..."

"Okay, let's talk about something else," Governor Cao interrupted, "Where were you when Madam Mu died?"

"Your Excellency, my daughter is in her own courtyard, under house arrest."

"Is there any witness?"

"Yes, all the maids and servants in the courtyard can testify to this."

"It was said that Madam Mu's illness was not serious enough to kill her, but she died suddenly. Moreover, she nailed the coffin lid shut before the due date. Why?"

"It is said?" Mu Baodi asked, "Who did you hear that from, sir?"

"Could it be the Princess of Zhennan?"

"Excuse me for being blunt, but what kind of doctor is she? I doubt whether she has any medical skills. Several doctors have come to see me and said they don't know how to treat it. But she said that it is not only easy to treat, but also not life-threatening. Now that the facts are in place, why should we still take her words as the standard?"

"Why is that? Just because she is a princess and her words did not come true, you have to suspect that there is something fishy about her death? What a ridiculous excuse!"

Yan Ruyu listened with a half-smile on her face. Huo Changhe next to her frowned and wanted to go over to question and reprimand her, but was stopped by her.

What was this doubt worth? To Yan Ruyu, it was no different from the buzzing of flies and mosquitoes, not worth mentioning.

Not only Huo Changhe, but Governor Cao was also very angry.

"Miss Mu, what you said is ridiculous. Many people know that the princess's medical skills are unparalleled in the world! My daughter's difficult labor, the broken hand of the guard in the princess's mansion, and the internal bleeding of the Sima family were all saved by the princess's miraculous hands."

"Let's not talk about the distant past. Even the emergency of the soldiers in the main camp was saved by the princess. But you, a mere common woman with no knowledge, worse than a frog in a well, dare to slander the princess here. You really don't know what you are talking about!"

Governor Cao glared at Mu Liangze. What a joke! He had taught her for so many years, and yet he raised a daughter like this.

Mu Baodi was scolded and felt dissatisfied, but she rolled her eyes on the surface and didn't say anything else.

Governor Cao looked at her unwilling expression and became even more angry: "If that's the case, then open the coffin. I want to see how Madam Mu died."

Before Mu Liangze could say anything, Mu Baodi said, "What? Open the coffin? No way!"

Governor Cao sneered: "You said no, so it's no? Who do you think you are? Are you from the government or the Mu family?"

Mu Baodi said anxiously, "It's impossible. The monk who came to pray for her soul said that she didn't die of old age and has resentment in her heart. If she is not nailed to death early, she might turn into a resentful corpse and affect us!"

Hearing such ridiculous remarks, Governor Cao really wanted to slap her a few times.

"Commander Mu, what do you say?"

Mu Liangze glanced at Mu Baodi and thought quickly. He didn't want to cause any trouble. The person was already dead, so why bother toss and turn? He couldn't survive.

Furthermore, judging from Mu Baodi’s words and deeds, the lady’s death was most likely related to her.

If they find out something else and put her in jail, how can I go to Yuan's house then?

Thinking of this, Mu Liangze smiled awkwardly: "Sir, I said before that this daughter is not smart and was frightened. What she said does not count."

"However," he changed the subject, "my wife has passed away, and the funeral will be held today. There are already many guests in front, and the music band has also arrived. If the coffin is opened now, I'm afraid..."

"She worked hard for the family and gave birth to a son for me. I really can't bear to see her being criticized by others after she passed away. This..."

When he was moved, he shed a few tears: "I feel so ashamed of her. One day I will ask a senior monk to pray for her soul to be reborn, repair her tomb and help her to reach heaven soon."

"Sir, please, for my sake, allow the funeral to proceed smoothly."

After hearing the end, Governor Cao felt something was not right. Why was he so determined to find out the truth about Madam Mu's death, but in the end it seemed like he was looking for trouble and didn't want other people's funeral to go smoothly?

Yan Ruyu stroked the ring on her finger, thoughtfully.

"Mu Baodi doesn't want to be investigated because she has something to hide. Mu Liangze also doesn't allow it..."

Huo Changhe took over and said, "He probably knows something and wants to cover it up."

"Not only is he trying to cover it up, he also wants to end it quickly and send Mu Baodi back to the Yuan family." Yan Ruyu couldn't figure it out for a moment, "What does the Yuan family have?"

Just as she was thinking, suddenly a small figure rushed over. Yan Ruyu was stunned for a moment and failed to stop him. Huo Changhe didn't even want to stop him.

Mu Xiaobao rushed towards Mu Baodi like a little cannonball.

"It's all your fault, you bad guy, you killed my mother!"

"I'll beat you to death and give my mother back her life!"

Mu Xiaobao kicked, scratched and bit. Although he was small, he did that for more than ten times in a row and Mu Baodi couldn't stand it anymore.

She grabbed him by the back of his neck and dragged him, staring at him angrily: "Stop!"

Mu Xiaobao was breathing heavily and staring at her fiercely, like a little wolf cub.

Mu Baodi sneered and looked at Governor Cao: "Sir, didn't you ask me if I had a bad relationship with my stepmother and brother? Look at this kid, how can I have a good relationship with him?"

Governor Cao said calmly, "He thought you killed his mother, so he spoke ill of you."

Before Mu Baodi could say anything, Mu Xiaobao shouted, "It was you who killed my mother! You are a poisonous scorpion that kills people. You killed your own mother, and now you are killing my mother!"

"My mother was killed by you. She has always been in poor health. You finally got married, but you didn't behave yourself in your husband's house. You came back to kill my mother. Now my mother has been killed by you!"

Yan Ruyu's eyes narrowed slightly.

Mu Xiaobao's words at the beginning were childish, but the words "harmony to others" and "poisonous scorpion" that came later on did not sound like something a child would say.

Governor Cao frowned, but before he could ask any further questions, Mu Baodi slapped Mu Xiaobao in the face.

There was a "pop" sound.
