Li Xiyue stood at the door watching the car drive away. Although she hadn't witnessed Mu Cangnan being arrested in her past life, she thought the situation must have been similar to this one...

She was reborn and changed everyone's fate. Li Yin was sentenced to death, and Li Yan was detained in a detention cell and would soon be imprisoned.

All evildoers will receive their due punishment.

But why hasn't she changed Mu Cangnan's fate? Mu Cangnan was still taken away!

She turned around and walked to Li Xiulan's side, helped Li Xiulan up from the ground, and took her back to her room!

Mibao released the two black dogs from the space and had them stand at the door to guard it.

Li Xiyue took out a handkerchief and handed it to Li Xiulan to wipe her tears.

She said to Li Xiulan, "You didn't tell the truth just now. What did you hide? You still have something important that you haven't given to Mu Cangnan!"

Li Xiulan was sitting in the chair crying to herself, but when she suddenly heard what Li Xiyue said, she couldn't help but shudder and her whole body trembled.

Li Xiyue's words pierced her heart like needles!

She blurted out instinctively, "No, I didn't hide anything, that's all!"

Li Xiyue said, "What you're hiding concerns Mu Cangnan's life or death, and you still won't tell? Do you really want to see him framed and killed?!"

Li Xiulan hesitated and shook her head. "No, he's just an adopted child. He has no special identity. He won't die."

Even if they investigate, the most they can find out is that he's a child my family adopted. What can they do to him then?

Li Xiyue said, "Someone is plotting to harm Mu Cangnan. If you don't reveal his true identity, they will find any other identity to pin on him and say he is a spy!"

What are you hiding? Why won't you tell the truth? Are you determined to kill him? Do you even deserve to be his mother?

Li Xiulan's lips moved, but she didn't say a word. Clearly, Li Xiyue was pushing her too hard, and she couldn't take it anymore, sobbing loudly.

Li Xiyue said, "Even if Mu Cangnan knew your identity, he was still willing to take care of you in your old age and see you off in your final days, treating you like his own mother. But how did you treat him? You refused to tell him anything!"

"Ha, I'll go tell Mu Cangnan that a woman like you doesn't deserve to be his mother at all. You're good for nothing but harming him!"

She said one sentence and turned to leave!

Seeing Li Xiyue about to leave, Li Xiulan rushed forward crying and grabbed Li Xiyue's arm, "Don't go! Don't go! I didn't mean to hurt him, I really didn't mean to hurt him!"

Li Xiyue pressed, enunciating each word clearly, "What are you hiding? Tell me! Only if you tell me can I think of a way to save Mu Cangnan!"

Li Xiulan's legs were so weak that she couldn't stand up. She sat on the ground, patting her legs, and all she could do was cry!

Mi Bao paced anxiously in the space, "What kind of mess is this?! Does she even know anything else? Why is she crying? Tell me first before you cry!"

Li Xiyue said, "This proves that she has indeed been hiding a lot of things!"

She squatted down and said to Li Xiulan, "Mu Cangnan has been taken away. Nobody knows what will happen next. Maybe he will never get out of here."

Do you believe in fortune telling? I once told his fortune, and he said he would die a violent death!

If you don't want him to die a violent death, tell me quickly. After all, you raised him, and no matter what you've done, he'll always consider you his mother!

Li Xiulan waved her hand, choking back tears, and said, "Life is life!! I don't deserve to be his mother, he doesn't need to acknowledge me!"

She wiped away her tears and continued, "My man and I both deserve to die, we both deserve to die!"

It was my man's doing... but he got his comeuppance; he got drunk, fell into the river, and drowned..."

Mi Bao said in the space, "What is all this? She talked for a long time, it seems like she said something, but it also seems like she didn't say anything at all!"

Li Xiyue said, "Don't rush! Her thoughts are all jumbled up right now, let her speak slowly!"

She said to Li Xiulan, "Why do you say it's retribution? What heinous things did he do?"

Li Xiulan choked up as she said, "He killed that old woman... He did it..."

He shouldn't have rebelled for money! I tried to persuade him, but he wouldn't listen...

It's my fault, I couldn't stop him! He's a murderer, our whole family owes Brother Mu Cangnan a debt!

She sat on the floor and banged her head against the corner of the table next to her.

Li Xiyue grabbed Li Xiulan, fearing that she might actually hit the corner of the table and kill herself!

Mi Bao said in the space, "Holy crap! Now I know why Mu Jiu Chun and Mu Jiu Hong aren't human! They took after their father!"

Li Xiyue and Li Xiulan asked, "What exactly happened? Why did he kill that old woman? How did you two meet?"

Li Xiulan said, "That old woman led Mu Cangnan and his brother to beg for food. At that time, our whole family did not live here, but lived in the urban-rural fringe area."

Although my hometown is considered part of the city, it's on the very edge of the city, and there aren't many people there.

My family was very poor, with only two mud-brick houses. I saw that old woman begging with her two children, and it was so pitiful.

I told them to go home and I cooked them some hot porridge.

But I never expected my man to suddenly come back...

It's all my fault. If I hadn't brought them home and hadn't given them porridge, none of this would have happened..."

Li Xiyue said, "Did your man kill that old woman as soon as he came back?"

Li Xiulan said, "That old woman thought I was a good person, so she quietly took out a gold bar and asked me if I could help her sell it or pawn it for money. She would give us a reward."

My husband promised to help her exchange a small gold bar, and he let the old woman go with him. I stayed home to help the old woman take care of her children.

But I never imagined that my husband would push that old woman into the river and drown her..."

Li Xiulan cried and banged her head against the wall; this was the part of her life she felt most guilty about.

If she hadn't brought the old woman and the two children home for porridge, how could the old woman have died?

Mi Bao said in the space, "Hehe! Mu Jiu Hong and Mu Jiu Chun really took after their father! This show is getting bigger and bigger!"

Li Xiyue asked Li Xiulan, "And then? What happened next?"

Li Xiulan said, "Later, my husband saw that the old woman had drowned, so he pulled her out and took all the money from her body."

Then they ran to the police station and said that an old woman had been crossing the river with a child when she accidentally fell in and drowned…

Li Xiyue roughly understood what was going on, and she said, "That woman did indeed drown, so when the police officers from the police station came, they couldn't find anything suspicious."

They treated her as just an old woman who had drowned and whose identity could not be found.

Your family seized her gold bars, as well as the two Mu brothers.
