Hearing this, the man in the black cloak gently raised his hand, took off his hat, and revealed his face.

It was Mrs. Mu who "died" a few days ago.

Madam Mu smiled bitterly: "How did the princess know it was mine?"

How did Yan Ruyu know? Of course, the abbot told her.

Before entering the alley, Yan Ruyu received a call from the abbot, telling her that when Sun Jishi rushed towards him, he put the hairpin into the space in panic.

The person who helped Sun Jishi change his clothes also reported to him that there was a silk handkerchief in Sun Jishi's pocket, which should have belonged to a woman.

The abbot thought that it might be the same as the hairpin, which was given to his daughter by Sun Jishi, so he wanted to keep it for him and wait until he woke up.

I didn't think much of it at the time, but when I put the things in, something didn't seem right.

According to the positioning system, the hairpin and handkerchief went to two different places.

The hairpin is in the governor's mansion and it undoubtedly belongs to Zhu'er, there is no doubt about that.

But the handkerchief went to another place, and the abbot was surprised to find that the location of the handkerchief and Ms. Song overlapped.

Overlapping with these two things is Madam Mu's "corpse."

Looking more closely, it was not just these that moved. The little cloth tiger representing Mu Xiaobao also went to the vicinity of Shenyuan Temple again.

The abbot also told us a piece of news that Mu Liangze brought his soldiers to the farm and heard that his son was missing again.

These questions popped up all at once, seemingly messy, but in fact they were extremely clear in Yan Ruyu's eyes.

Some things that were previously incomprehensible suddenly became clear.

Of course, Yan Ruyu couldn't tell Madam Mu these reasons.

"I told you, I know a lot more than you think."

Yan Ruyu looked at her, her tone full of chillness: "Why did you want to marry Mu Liangze? Was it because of his position as a lieutenant general? Because he was in charge of guarding the granary?"

"Back then, Wu Lao San was so bold as to resell military rations. Mu Liangze must have been involved, right?"

Madam Mu sighed softly: "What the princess said is right. We chose him because he was the one guarding the granary."

"The guards of Youcheng were originally under the rule of Shen Huaixin. Although they are not as good as those of Shencheng, they are still acceptable. If we want to cause chaos in Shencheng, we have to work hard and use our brains."

"It's not a coincidence that Mu Liangze and I met and got to know each other. After a while, we got to know each other well. It wasn't difficult for me to make him fall in love with me."

Yan Ruyu asked, "When Mu Liangze's first wife passed away, you were also responsible, right?"

"You can't hide it from the princess, it's true," Madam Mu said, "Mu Liangze is ruthless and cold-blooded. He seems to be cowardly and easy to bully, and he lets me make the decisions for him in everything. But in fact, he is too lazy to care and too lazy to care. Apart from money and interests, there is nothing worth his attention."

"Mu Baodi said that you were the one who decided her marriage and she hated you. I thought she was extreme at first, but now I think what she said must be true."

Speaking of Mu Baodi, Madam Mu gave a short laugh: "Yes, that's true. Mu Baodi's mother died when she was still very young, but she inherited Mu Liangze's cold heart. She is also good at flattering me and pretending to be close to me and filial. She just knows that I will be the mistress of the family in the future and I will be in control of her marriage."

"At first she treated my son well, but how could I trust her? She once taught my son to say bad things about her and reminded him not to be deceived by appearances and get too close to her. Maybe she heard it, and from then on, her attitude towards my son changed."

"But it doesn't matter. She will be married soon by then," Mrs. Mu sneered, feeling the pleasure of having succeeded in her plan. "Yuan Sishan is a useless man. Mu Baodi will not have a good life if she marries him."

Madam Mu chuckled: "But what can I do? I just don't want her to have a good life."

Yan Ruyu interrupted her: "It's not just because of this, right? Isn't it because of the treasure mountain in Yuan's manor?"

Madam Mu's expression froze. Not only her, but even Madam Wu immediately turned to look at Yan Ruyu.

"You..." the two said in unison.

"How should I know?" Yan Ruyu's smile turned cold, and she looked at them with a cold gaze, "You two, one is looking for the treasure map, and the other is looking for the military rations."

"Are you Mr. Mo's men, or someone else's?"

Yan Ruyu felt that the treasure map and the mine were like a huge net, slowly opening up, waiting for bigger prey.

Master Wu clenched his hands in silence for a long time, then said slowly, "I am not Mr. Mo's man, I am no one's man, I just... want to make a deal with Mr. Mo."

She slowly raised her hand and touched her bandaged face.

"Do you want to change your face?" Yan Ruyu felt a chill on her back when she said this.

She suddenly remembered that terrible island, the island that was like hell on earth.

There were corpses, ashes, and faces soaked in potion.

Madam Wu's eyes were dim and her voice was a little vague: "You are really amazing, Princess. You know everything and you can guess everything correctly."

"You're right, it was indeed... a face-changing. I don't want to have anything to do with the Wu family anymore, and I don't want to remember those idiots anymore. If I want to put a stop to that period of time, I have to completely change and start over."

Yan Ruyu felt that there was something else behind her words. She really didn't seem like a subordinate loyal to Mr. Mo. Her tone and eyes were different.

But she seemed to have a yearning for it, and there must be a huge force leading her to complete this process, no matter how difficult or dangerous it was.

Even if it's a face change, it's unrecognizable.

Yan Ruyu narrowed her eyes slightly: "Who are you doing this for?"

Madam Wu was startled, looked at her, and chuckled: "Don't you know everything?"

"But, whether you know it or not, I can't tell you this."

Mrs. Wu added, "Even if I die."

Yan Ruyu stared at her for a long while: "It doesn't matter, it's up to you."

Yan Ruyu looked at Madam Mu and said, "What about you? You made such a big fuss, faked your death, kidnapped me, you did it all by yourself, right?"

"By the way, you hired someone to kill Mrs. Wu, right?"

"Mrs. Wu is also a capable servant by your side. In this respect, you two are quite similar."

Madam Mu did not feel ashamed at all: "He is just a servant, why shouldn't he die? Besides, didn't the Mu family compensate their family? It's even."

She said lightly: "As for the kidnapping, I kidnapped my own son. The one who died was that dog Mu Baodi. I had to pin the blame on her."

Madam Mu looked at Yan Ruyu with admiration in her eyes: "Mu Liangze was able to find the person. I guess it was also the princess's work, right?"

Yan Ruyu didn't comment: "Not bad."

"It's a pity. I didn't think it through at the time. It was not convenient to move the coffin. However, a monk came to the funeral hall later. I could tell that the sutra he was chanting was not for salvation."

Yan Ruyu remained calm, and Madam Mu continued, "What he was reciting was not even a sutra."

Yan Ruyu: "..."
