The legitimate daughter returns, and the princess goes crazy

"Two days ago, I personally witnessed the eldest lady placing a puppet with the Third Young Master's birth information under the bed. It was also covered with silver needles and put in a rectangular box. This was absolutely true. The eldest lady threatened me not to tell anyone, but seeing that the Third Young Master is now in an uncertain state of life or death, I couldn't bear it and had to tell the truth."

Qingxiu's words were so certain and plausible that people believed them at first sight.

"Mother, Qingxiu is the eldest lady's close personal, so what she said should be correct." Seeing Qingxiu's words, Liu Wenmei also continued speaking.

"Oh, a close personal? Auntie has been locked up for so many days that she may not be clear about some things. Some time ago, Qingxiu offended me, so I have demoted her to a third-class maid."

She turned around and looked at Qingxiu with disappointment, with a hint of cold murderous intent hidden deep in her eyes, "Qingxiu, Qingxiu, you are really great. I demoted you to a third-class maid temporarily just because you made a mistake. I didn't expect that you would hold a grudge and frame me."

Qingxiu's heart skipped a beat when she saw the coldness in Mu Yan's eyes, but things had come to this point and there was no turning back. She suppressed the fear in her heart and raised her voice to accuse.

"My lady, I didn't want to reveal these things, but I just couldn't get over it. God is watching what you do, and you know what you did."

Mu Yan's face was calm, with a smile on her lips, and her bright eyes were full of determination and mockery.

"You said you saw me put something under the bed two days ago. You know that a third-class maid cannot enter the house without the master's order. Did you sneak in? What did you do? Steal something or spy on me?"

Madam Mu's face darkened. What she could not tolerate most was servants who did not follow the rules. It was a serious crime for a servant to steal things in the Mu Mansion, and it was an unforgivable crime to spy on the master. "

Qingxiu also realized that he had said the wrong thing and hurried to make amends.

"No, I remembered it wrongly. I saw it some time ago when I was still a maid."

But such an explanation seemed so far-fetched that even Liu Wenmei rolled her eyes secretly, thinking what an idiot.

Mu Yan's thin lips beneath the veil curled up into a mocking smile.

"It happened half a month ago when you were still the head maid. Could it be that the witchcraft I cast on Muran at that time took half a month to take effect?"

"Slave..."

Qingxiu was speechless for a while and was about to cry. She didn't know how to explain it. If the young lady was okay today, she could think of her own fate and could only kowtow repeatedly.

Liu Wenmei wanted to slap this maid in the face. She was so stupid that she kept talking too much. Was she going to let this little bitch escape again?

Just when everyone was in a stalemate, several people strode into the yard.

The leader had an anxious look on his face. It was Mu Jun who had just returned from court. Following behind him was a man in palace clothes.

After Mu Jun's introduction, they found out that this person was Lu Chenglin, the chief judge of the Imperial Medical Bureau. Everyone was shocked to learn his identity.

Lu Chenglin is deeply trusted by the emperor, and ordinary ministers are rarely invited. I didn’t expect Mu Jun to be so bold as to invite him.

In fact, Mu Jun did not expect that after he left the court, he would learn from the servants that Mu Ran was sick and unconscious.

The Mu family does not have many male descendants, so he was very worried when Muran fell ill and took it very seriously.

He immediately handed the sign to the Imperial Medical Service. Unexpectedly, the person sent was Doctor Lu, which made him happy. But without thinking too much, he rode back to the mansion at full speed.

But he didn't expect that when he arrived at Qin Yi Pavilion, there was no one in the room. Even Muran, who had a fever, was nowhere to be seen. He caught a servant and asked him, only to find out that they had all come to Qiyun Pavilion.

At this time, Muran was being held in Qin Xiaoniang's arms. Xi Chen said that only if the victim stayed with him could they find the witchcraft items, so they had no choice but to bring him along.

On the way here, Mu Jun was in a hurry and did not ask the servants what happened. When he saw everyone, Mu Jun took two steps forward and asked, "What happened? Ran'er is sick, why don't you let him rest well? What are you doing here?"

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to start.

It was Shi Ying who stepped forward and told Mu Jun what had happened. She narrated the whole incident in vivid and moving voice, without missing a single detail.

Not only did she narrate orally, she also used actions to express Mu Yan's grievances to the extreme. Mu Yan never thought that Shi Ying had such eloquence. It would be a pity if she didn't go to the teahouse to tell stories. She must give her two chicken legs at noon today.

Shi Ying talked a lot of nonsense, even repeating word for word those disrespectful words that Mu Ning said to Mu Yan, which made Mu Ning receive a cold look from Mu Jun, which frightened her to death.

After hearing this, Mu Jun's veins popped up on his forehead and he was furious. He immediately felt that his daughter had been wronged. In such a short period of time, not only was her face disfigured, but she was also framed like this. It was simply outrageous.

"Where did this evil monk come from? What grudge do you have against my daughter that you framed her like this? Why don't you kick her out?"

Xi Chen was also panicking at this time, and shouted, "Just because we haven't found the witchcraft items yet doesn't mean they don't exist. It's also possible that the donor arranged for someone to go back to the house and take the items away in advance."

Mu Ning pointed at the maid beside Mu Yan and said hurriedly, "Yes, isn't there a maid named Ling Yu beside Big Sister who is very good at martial arts?"

"How can you say that, Fourth Sister? Although Ling Yu's maid is good at martial arts, there is no evidence that she got there before us and took the things away. I believe that my eldest sister would not do such a thing."

Mu Wan stood up to defend Mu Yan. Although it was just protection, what she actually meant was that Mu Yan was afraid that the truth would be exposed, so she had already arranged for Ling Yu, who was good at kung fu, to come back and destroy the evidence.

Mu Yan was too lazy to watch the two of them acting in unison, so she interrupted their conversation and asked, "What evidence do you have to prove that Ling Yu was not with me at the time? Why did you come back to destroy the evidence?"

Everyone was speechless. Everyone was busy watching the show and no one noticed whether Ling Yu was in the crowd or not.

A hint of sneer appeared on Mu Yan's face.

"Besides, who says that Mu Ran's illness is definitely related to witchcraft? It is also possible that our Mu family doctors are not good at medicine and cannot diagnose the cause. Since Imperial Doctor Lu is here, why don't we let him diagnose it?"

Liu Wenmei's face suddenly changed. These three court doctors were all promoted by her, and everything they said was instructed by her. If she asked Imperial Physician Lu to take her pulse, wouldn't it be exposed if he found out something? She hurriedly walked to Mu Jun and whispered.

"Master, the doctors in our Mu family are all well-known doctors. A child's fever is not a big deal. It may get better on its own in a couple of days. I think there is no need to bother Imperial Doctor Lu. Moreover, if Imperial Doctor Lu intervenes in this matter, it will be bad for our Mu family if the news gets out."
