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

As soon as the box was taken out, not only Mu Baodi's, but also Mu Liangze's expression changed slightly.

Yan Ruyu's eyes moved between the two of them: "Do you recognize me?"

Mu Xiaobao shouted, "I know! This box was left to that woman by her mother. She treated it as a treasure and would not let anyone else touch it. I touched it once and she beat me up and my hand became swollen. I couldn't write for several days."

Mu Liangze: “…”

Yan Ruyu asked Mu Baodi: "What do you have to say?"

Mu Baodi's breathing quickened slightly, and she clenched her hands tightly. "It's mine, so what? But it was stolen two days ago."

"Stolen?" Yan Ruyu chuckled, "But this box was found by me in your room."

Mu Baodi's eyes flickered: "This is impossible. Anyway, I just lost it."

"Where did you lose it? How did you lose it? Why didn't you look for it after you lost it? Isn't this thing very important to you?"

Yan Ruyu peppered Mu Baodi with questions, leaving her a little confused.

"I... don't know where I lost it. It's gone. Why didn't I look for it? I looked for it, but I just couldn't find it."

Mu Baodi spoke incoherently: "I was in a bad mood at the time, and there were many and complicated things going on in the mansion..."

After she finished speaking, she fell silent. She couldn't explain it clearly.

Yan Ruyu glanced at Governor Cao, who came back to his senses and said in a cold voice: "Mu Baodi, whether this flower is yours or not, whether this thing is yours or not, what's the point? Tell the truth!"

Mu Baodi trembled with fear, but she pursed her lips tightly, looking as if she was unwilling to cooperate.

Governor Cao snorted and laughed: "Mu Baodi, don't think that because you are a woman, I dare not do anything to you. I am the governor of a city. I have been to court countless times, tried countless cases, and seen countless prisoners. What kind of people have I not seen?"

"I'm asking you here now because of your father's face. If you don't want to tell me, then go to the hall and tell me. Once you go to the hall, no one will have face left."

Mu Baodi's face turned even paler, as fragile as a piece of thin paper.

Mu Liangze's forehead was also sweating. He bowed to Governor Cao and said, "Thank you, Lord Cao, for giving me this little face."

He turned around and scolded Mu Baodi: "Where did your fierceness go? Aren't you very talkative? At the critical moment, you don't know what to say!"

"Your box, didn't you come to me crying a few days ago, saying that you lost it and asked me to send someone to find it for you? Didn't I scold you?"

After a moment of confusion, Mu Baodi nodded reluctantly: "Yes, that's right."

She didn't want to admit it, but she had to admit it now.

Mu Liangze smiled again and said to Yan Ruyu: "Princess, my daughter mentioned this to me before, but I was busy with other things at the time and ignored her. The box was left by my late wife, and she had always treasured it. Naturally, she was anxious when she lost it, so..."

Yan Ruyu flipped through the box and interrupted casually: "Mu Liangze, the deceased wife you mentioned refers to your original wife, right?"

“…Exactly.”

"What we need to investigate now is how your current wife died," Yan Ruyu said with a half-smile, "Which side do you favor?"

Mu Liangze was stunned: Is this considered partiality?

While he was stunned, Yan Ruyu looked at Mu Baodi again: "Mu Baodi, you are really contradictory and have no stance at all."

"One moment he said this in order to avoid going to Yuan's house, and the next moment he said that in order to avoid suspicion of murder. It's contradictory and full of loopholes."

Mu Baodi opened her mouth, wanted to say something, but closed it angrily.

Yan Ruyu continued: "Instead of doing this, it is better to tell the truth."

Mu Liangze came back to his senses and said, "Princess, what I just said is the truth."

Yan Ruyu glanced at him and said, "Mu Liangze, you'd better shut up."

As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Changhe clapped his hands, and Yinding walked in with a maid.

This maid was Mu Baodi's personal maid.

When Mu Baodi saw her, before she could say anything, Mu Liangze angrily said, "You slut, what did you do to offend the princess? You are so bold!"

"You'd better plead guilty immediately. Otherwise, not only you, but also your family members will not be able to save their lives."

Yan Ruyu's eyes turned cold and she tilted her head to look at him: "Mu Liangze, are you openly threatening the witness?"

Mu Liangze also knew that this was a bad idea, but he had no choice.

Huo Changhe said coldly: "He can take the lives of your family members, and so can I. Tell the truth, he can't save the lives of your family members, but I can."

The maid knelt down with a plop: "Miss, I am just a maid, a worthless life, I really can't bear too much... I'm sorry!"

She kowtowed twice, then turned to Yan Ruyu and said, "Princess, that box is indeed the young lady's. It originally contained the white frost flowers, the kind you are holding in your hand."

"But the box was indeed lost. The young lady said that the box was missing. Maybe it fell somewhere after she used the flowers. But the young lady took the box to the kitchen, so it is not difficult to find it if it is lost. As for when it was found, I know."

"Although I am the young lady's personal maid, she is very wary of me and won't tell me many things."

"Then tell me everything you know."

"Yes." The maid said, "The young lady bought this flower from Wuji Tower. As for the name, I only knew it after she bought it. Because it is quite unique and rare, I remember it."

"At first, I didn't know what it was used for. Later, the young lady asked me to keep an eye on the kitchen to see when the lady's medicine was usually taken away. I guessed that it might be related to the lady."

The blood drained from the maid's face. "I am timid and don't dare to ask too much. I will ask whatever the young lady asks me to ask, and I will not say anything about what she doesn't allow me to ask."

"Later, after asking for the exact time, the young lady went to the kitchen herself and asked the servant to keep watch outside. Later... I heard that the lady was ill."

The maid bowed her head and said, "Princess, please understand. Madam's death has nothing to do with me. Even if I had ten guts, I would not dare to attack Madam."

Governor Cao rebuked: "Don't dare? Nothing to do? In my opinion, you are an accomplice!"

The maid was so scared that she started crying: "I am helpless... I have no choice. The young lady said that if I don't do it, she will stop paying me and sell me to a brothel."

"My younger brother needs to study, and my mother needs medical treatment. They all depend on my monthly salary to survive. I ..."

Before she finished, Mu Baodi started to curse: "Bitch! Bitch! I should have sold you out long ago, I wouldn't have given you the chance to talk now."

"You are a traitor who sells out his master for fame and fortune, and a lowly slave who has no idea what loyalty and righteousness are!"

Yan Ruyu glared at her angrily: "Shut up! Are you worthy of mentioning the word loyalty?"

"You are a selfish person who treats other people's lives as grass and only cares about your own life. What loyalty can you talk about? You are a mean person who speaks vulgarly all the time. How much more noble are you than others?"

"You do all kinds of dirty things and say all kinds of filthy words. You are the most despicable person!"
