Soon after Mu Tian left, a person carrying something in their hand walked in...

Qin Qing snapped out of her daze and remained in that position, quietly watching the person approach.

The visitor seemed quite certain that she was unconscious, and placed the lunchbox he was carrying aside.

"Sigh, of all people to offend, why did I have to offend Lord Chen's godson? Oh well, I'll be a smarter person in my next life!"

Only after hearing the voice did Qin Qing realize that it was an old woman!

In the darkness, the man continued to unbuckle Qin Qing's belt, completely unaware that the person lying on the ground had wide eyes.

As she watched the old woman hang the belt on the roof beam, she instantly understood what was happening, her heart filled with horror, and her gaze gradually hardened.

What an unfilial son! He actually wanted to hang his elderly mother? She clearly did nothing wrong, and the original owner of this body doted on him, even sending him to school despite their poverty!

As the old woman got up, Qin Qing, her eyes filled with anger and sarcasm, suddenly turned and stood up. She quickly covered the old woman's mouth with her left hand and held a sharp scalpel in her right hand. As she got closer, she could vaguely see the fear in the old woman's eyes. Qin Qing calmed down a little.

I'm sorry!

Suddenly, a vase appeared out of thin air in his hand, and he smashed it over the person's head, knocking him unconscious...

The old woman lost consciousness before she could even resist. Qin Qing quickly swapped their clothes, then placed her on the ground, picked up the box, gently covered her face, and left.

At the prison gate, a discreetly luxurious carriage stood out. Qin Qing lowered his head and slowly walked over…

When the young man in the car saw her come out, he suppressed his excitement and spoke in an anxious and sinister tone.

"Is it done?"

Qin Qing nodded and mimicked the old woman's tone of voice.

"It's been taken care of."

Upon hearing this, Mu Tian peeked out, his relaxed smile clearly visible! Qin Qing wanted nothing more than to slap him!

"That's good, Aunt Ying. No one is to be told about what happened today, or you know the consequences!"

After saying that, he glanced at her with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes. Qin Qing lowered her head and trembled slightly, looking very scared. Because Mu Tian was sitting on the carriage at a higher position, he couldn't see the face of the person in front of him clearly.

This reaction surprised Mu Tian. He felt that Aunt Ying was acting strangely today, and seemed to be thinner than usual...

However, the joy in his heart and the strange feeling of killing his mother left him no time to think too much, not to mention that perhaps Aunt Ying felt guilty...

After threatening Aunt Ying, he sighed dramatically, his voice filled with utter helplessness.

"Aunt Ying, you have to understand me. My mother is greedy and selfish. She'd even risk her son's life for money. She beats and scolds me constantly, and even forced me to go to the battlefield. You know I'm not in good health..."

Upon hearing this, Qin Qing almost couldn't help but raise his head, his eyes blazing with fury, wishing he could beat this unfilial son to death on the spot!

After saying that, Mu Tian saw that she didn't react much, so he didn't bother to act anymore. Anyway, the person was already dead!

"I'll head back now. You take care of the body here. The prefect will handle the charges himself."

Qin Qing nodded again. As she listened to the sound of the carriage driving away, she slowly raised her head, her fists clenched, her body stiff, and her face cold.

A moment later, she half-covered her face with a rag, asked someone for a cart, and the jailer, as if he had already received the order, found one for her without hesitation.

After she dragged Aunt Ying away, the prefect finally received the news and arrived late!

The prefect was stunned to see the empty prison...

Everything seemed so rushed. The person came in perfectly fine in the morning, but committed suicide in the afternoon, and their body was dumped in a mass grave. This made him mutter to himself…

"How many people has this she-devil offended wherever she goes! Oh well, it's none of my business anyway!"

A sensational murder and mutilation case quickly sparked whispers among the people. However, that afternoon, the government issued a notice saying that the perpetrator had committed suicide and surrendered to the law, clearly a blatant lie to fool the fools!

That night, Peony was extremely anxious as she waited for news. She had barely managed to calm Mu Xing and Mu Yue down when her mother still hadn't returned…

"Peony, open the door!"

A familiar voice called out, and Peony immediately got up with a smile and opened the door. Looking at Qin Qing, who looked exhausted, she couldn't help but say something.

"Mother, you're finally back! I thought..."

Qin Qing quickly stopped her, carefully glanced left and right, and then pulled Shaoyao into the house first, recounting everything that had happened during the day! Of course, she didn't mention Mu Tian's existence.

Peony's heart skipped a beat, and her face turned pale.

"Mother, if that's really the case, then you've been framed! How despicable!"

Qin Qing shook his head, took out fifty taels of silver from his spatial storage and handed it over, his expression solemn.

"Peony, take the children to the capital of Qi first thing tomorrow morning. We've searched here for so long, my daughter-in-law Zhang He shouldn't be here anymore. Don't worry about me, I've already made up my mind, nothing will happen!"

When Peony saw the silver, her face was full of surprise and doubt. She was about to refuse when Qin Qing stopped her.

"If you don't leave, once the person who framed me realizes what's going on, none of us will be able to escape!"

Peony's face tightened, and after hesitating for a moment, she decided to obediently listen to her.

Qin Qing breathed a sigh of relief and was thinking about how to persuade the children when a surprised voice came from behind her.

"Grandma? Grandma's back? Yueyue, come here quickly!"

As soon as she heard the sound, she saw a small figure rushing towards her, Xiao Muxing's face full of pride and anger!

"Grandma is so naughty! She went out early this morning without taking us with her. Doesn't she know that Yueyue and Aunt Shaoyao will worry about her?"

The little guy realized what was happening, put his hands on his hips, and started lecturing angrily, looking every bit like a little adult.

Seeing this, Qin Qing couldn't help but reach out and pinch it, her face filled with tenderness.

"Yes, yes, it's all Grandma's fault, Grandma deserves to be punished!"

As she spoke, she reached out to slap her own face, but Xiao Muxing quickly stopped her, exclaiming in anger at her lack of self-control!

"Is Grandma stupid? No one would hit themselves!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Qing burst into laughter. From the inner room came Xiao Muyue's confused yet delighted voice. Perhaps she had just woken up, the little one rubbed her eyes, which were barely open, with drool at the corner of her mouth, and murmured.

"Grandma...the chicken leg is so delicious!"

Her innocent and childlike appearance softened Qin Qing's heart like a pool of clear water. She gently picked up Xiao Muyue and said softly.

"Okay, Grandma will definitely make chicken drumsticks for Yueyue next time!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Muyue immediately broke into a satisfied smile, her little tiger teeth inadvertently showing, making her look incredibly adorable. Qin Qing couldn't help but rub against her...

However, Mu Xing saw a different picture. She looked at her younger sister with disdain. Her sister was drooling, looking like an idiot, and laughing like a fool. Her grandmother even rubbed against her without any disgust, smiling brightly.
