Walking all the way back to Qingyu Courtyard, Tangtang had already begun to imagine her life after having a younger brother, chattering non-stop.

Jiang Muyu looked at her longing look and felt both amused and a little sad. Because in the life script she saw, there was no third child. When Liang Jinghe got married, Liang Jingtang had already passed away.

She was not sure if she could save the person who was about to die, and even less sure if someone who had never existed would appear.

At night, Jiang Muyu was tossing and turning.

Liang Qingchen told her that she had a nosebleed today because she was poisoned.

She didn't understand why she was suddenly poisoned again?

Looking back on the day's experience, apart from her normal meals, she had only eaten the cakes made by Master Liu and the lotus cakes brought by the little dumb boy.

Before eating Master Liu's pastries, she had tested them for poison with a silver needle. The poison in the bamboo shoots should be able to be detected by the silver needle, so...she only ate the plate of lotus cakes without any precautions.

She was terrified when she thought about it. How could someone poison her when she looked so harmless?

But apart from this possibility, she couldn't think of anything else.

Liang Qingchen reached out and hugged her shoulders, asking in a low voice: "Are you still thinking about what happened today?"

"Yeah." She didn't mean to hide it.

"Don't worry, I have already sent people to secretly monitor the movements in the mansion. Those people will not be able to escape if there is any disturbance."

She was silent for a moment before she asked carefully, "You... have known Heather Ye for a long time?"

"Hmm." Liang Qingchen thought about it and felt that there was nothing to hide, so he said, "I have known him since I was ten years old, and now it has been sixteen years."

"So long?"

"Um."

Heather said that he was originally from this world, then traveled to the modern era, and then back again, but he traveled to an earlier time period than the one he had left before. In a sense, it could be considered a rebirth, but he never said exactly how old he was when he was reborn.

Therefore, Jiang Muyu was not sure whether Liang Qingchen was the original Heather when he met Heather seventeen years ago, or the Heather who returned from the modern era.

But, after all, they are all friends.

So she asked again: "What kind of person is Heather in your eyes?"

Liang Qingchen smiled and said, "Speaking of him, he is quite interesting. He has a bad nature. He was born into a rich family but prefers to do business. When I first met him, he had already opened many shops and became a real businessman. Can you believe that he was only ten years old at that time?"

Hearing this, Jiang Muyu had a guess in his mind. Maybe Heather had already returned from the modern times by then. If so, it would not be surprising that he could do all these.

She smiled and said, "He is also a talented person."

"His father didn't think so. He thought merchants were dirty and snobbish. His surname wasn't Shi, and he wasn't from the Tiangan family. He was the concubine of the prime minister of Xuancang country. He didn't recognize his ancestors until he was seven years old. He had a promising older brother, so his father naturally looked down on him. Later, he became a disciple of Master Huiming and became a lay disciple of Buddhism. His father felt it was shameful, so he directly removed his name from the family tree, and he changed his name to his current name."

There is such a thing.

Being worldly yet not worldly, Heather's life can be called a legend.

"I'm afraid that Heather Ye's current wealth will not be spent in several lifetimes, right?"

Liang Qingchen sighed and said, "Shi Nanye's family background is not just what you can see. He doesn't have a master higher than him. He deliberately made up rumors just to put himself in a low position, which can save a lot of unnecessary trouble. His identity seems to be in the open, but he is the one who actually manipulates everything in secret. He is just pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger."

Standing on a high place and overlooking everything, playing with everyone in the palm of your hand, as if you are in a chess game, but actually you are the one manipulating the chessboard. Such a mind and heart are something that many people cannot achieve in their lifetime.

Jiang Muyu sincerely admired him.

Look, look, this is how a cheater should operate.

Jiang Muyu began to reflect on himself, "Where did I go wrong? Did I get the script wrong?"

Liang Qingchen heard her talking to herself and asked, "What are you talking about?"

"Uh... nothing, just... I feel quite emotional." She turned over, facing Liang Qingchen, and asked seriously: "Honestly, do you think I'm useless?"

"Nonsense, compared to many people, you are already very powerful."

"Really?"

"Yeah, you're good at playing the piano, making cakes, running a shop, and managing a farm. You can do many things that ordinary people can't do, so you're naturally very powerful." He placed a light kiss on her forehead and said, "It's my great fortune to marry you."

She immediately smiled. Who doesn't like to hear nice words? She was a vulgar person, so she was no exception.

She gently hugged Liang Qingchen, buried her face in his chest, listened to his strong heartbeat for a long time, and said: "It is my great fortune to meet you."

Although I don't remember it now, I know that we must have met before.

…

The next day.

Jiang Muyu was awakened by the noise outside. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and sat up. Yun Xuan came in and said, "My queen, something happened outside."

"What happened?" She had just woken up and her mind was still a little confused.

Yun Xuan said, "When the prince went out early this morning, he ran into someone sneaking around outside Qingyu Courtyard, so he arrested her and found out that it was the dumb girl in the kitchen who was in charge of making fire. She seemed to have something to say, but only her mother, Wu, could understand her. The prince ordered someone to find the mother of the girl who made fire and asked her about it. The girl actually admitted that she had poisoned your cakes."

Jiang Muyu was stunned for a moment, then got out of bed and put on his shoes, "Yun Xuan, help me change my clothes quickly."

"Yes." Yun Xuan immediately went to the cupboard to get her a piece of clothing.

"Where are they now?"

"The prince has taken the person outside the courtyard."

Jiang Muyu asked, "Didn't the prince go to court today?"

"The prince has just asked for leave from the emperor."

Jiang Muyu quickly put on her clothes and went out without washing up. When she saw Yunyan, she thought for a moment and said, "Yunyan, go and bring Nanxing over."

"yes."

At this time, it was light rain outside the courtyard.

Liang Qingchen was interrogating the mother and daughter. The little maid gestured for a long time, but no one around could understand. Only Wu conveyed everything she said word by word:

"I am sorry for your appreciation, Princess. I was the one who gave me the medicine. I didn't sleep well last night because I was worried that something might happen to Princess and that it would affect my family. I came to Qingyu Courtyard early today just to make sure that Princess was okay."

Liang Qingchen frowned, and felt that something was strange when listening to the information conveyed by Wu, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

Jiang Muyu was out of the house yesterday. Logically, the people in the house should not have known about it yet, so he made secret arrangements overnight in order to catch the person who poisoned him.

Because only the person who poisoned Jiang Muyu knew that something would happen to him yesterday would become restless and take action.

He looked at the fire-making girl, seeing how she was gesticulating anxiously, with anxiety and helplessness in her eyes. She didn't look like someone who could poison someone.

But her behavior was indeed strange, and she took the initiative to admit her crime. He didn't know how to convict her for a moment.

Jiang Muyu rushed over at this time, looked at this scene, frowned, and asked: "Did she confess on her own initiative?"

Liang Qingchen nodded. "She knelt down before I even started asking her. I didn't quite understand what she was saying, so I just asked someone to invite Wu over. But as soon as she opened her mouth, she confessed."

Jiang Muyu looked at the girl who was burning the fire.

She was kneeling on the ground at this time, her plain clothes were stained with cigarette ash from years of burning that could not be washed off, and there were faint tear stains on her face. When she saw Jiang Muyu, she immediately kowtowed to her several times.

Jiang Muyu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Did you really poison me? If not, you can tell me the truth."

The little girl was stunned for a moment, glanced at Wu, and then nodded.

Jiang Muyu looked towards Wu, a thin middle-aged woman with a yellow face, sunken eyes and a bitter expression.

"Are you her mother?"

Wu bowed to her and said with a sob, "Yes, Huanhuan made a mistake. I will apologize to you, the queen, on her behalf."

Jiang Muyu also felt that something was strange, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Besides Huanhuan, do you have any other children in your family?"

Wu was stunned for a moment, lowered her eyes, and said with her head down: "There is another son."

"Is he the younger brother or the older brother?"

"He's Huanhuan's brother."

Liang Qingchen said: "Her brother is the groom of the mansion."

"Which groom?" There were several grooms in the palace, and she usually rode a horse that was not ridden by the same groom when she went out.

Liang Qingchen shook his head. He always rode a horse to court and rarely took a carriage, so he couldn't remember for a moment.

Yun Xuan said: "My Lady, it seems to be called...Ah Long?"

Wu nodded and said, "Yes, my son's name is A-Long."

Jiang Muyu stared at her and asked, "How old is your son?"

"eighteen."

"Are you married?"

Wu said with a bitter face: "My family is poor and I don't have the capital to marry."

Nan Xing happened to come over at this time. She bowed to Jiang Muyu and asked, "Why did the queen ask me to come?"

Jiang Muyu nodded at her and said, "Just listen."

Nanxing didn't ask any more questions and just stood aside.

Jiang Muyu said to the fire-burning girl, "Huanhuan, repeat what you just said to me again."

Huan Huan subconsciously glanced at Wu Shi again, Wu Shi looked back at her, and she immediately lowered her eyelids. Then, she began to use sign language.

Wu, who was standing by, began to recount, "Yesterday I made some snacks for the queen to taste, which were mixed with the bamboo shoot juice I prepared in advance. The bamboo shoot is poisonous, and I felt very guilty afterwards, so I have been paying attention to this matter. I didn't see the queen come back last night, so I waited outside Qingyu Courtyard early today just to check on the queen's condition."

After she finished her statement, Jiang Muyu looked at Nanxing.

Seeing her staring at Wu with deep eyes and furrowed brows, he knew that this matter was not that simple.

So she asked, "Nanxing, is what she just said what Huanhuan wanted to express?"

Nan Xing was stunned for a moment, looked at Jiang Muyu, opened his mouth, closed it again, and said after a moment: "I don't understand."

Jiang Muyu looked at her and smiled, "I know you can understand."

Nan Xing clenched his fists tightly, "What are you doing..."

Jiang Muyu interrupted her and said, "Don't worry about how I know. You can see it, but you are unwilling to do anything. You are helping the evil, and it will also make her suffer injustice. There will be one more pitiful person in this world."

Nan Xing struggled for a moment, pursed her lips, and finally said truthfully: "Wu is misinterpreting her meaning."

"Oh? Really?" Jiang Muyu narrowed her eyes, "Then what exactly does she want to express?"
