Yang Shushu followed Old Master Mu into the study. Everyone thought he was going to teach her a lesson, but she didn't think so. So when she entered the house, she said directly, "The person who kidnapped us might be named Ma. At first, we thought he was just trying to blackmail us, but now it turns out that this was a move that was made a long time ago, probably from the day of the premiere."
Mu Shicang had already told the old man about what happened on the day of the premiere. When he heard the surname Ma, the old man obviously thought for a while before remembering it. He nodded and asked her, "What do you want to say?"
"What I want to say is unimportant, because the judge won't necessarily accept what I say. What's important now is the evidence. Only if we can prove that he was indeed imprisoned with me in Huiyang Mountain at that time can we have it."
Yang Shushu thought about it, then suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, are the clothes we just changed into still there?"
The old man glanced at Uncle Liang, who nodded and went out. After a while, he came back with a heavy face: "The servant has taken it to wash and is now cleaning it outside."
The corners of Yang Shushu's mouth twitched, and she gave Old Master Mu a thumbs up: "Old Master, you are amazing. The servants are so efficient."
Uncle Liang covered his mouth with his fist and coughed, reminding her to be careful with her words. Old Master Mu didn't take it seriously, and instead looked a little embarrassed.
"Do you have any other clues?" asked Old Master Mu. After all, she and Mu Shicang were the only ones together that night.
Yang Shushu thought for a moment and said, "Yes, but it's not convenient to talk about it now. I will find a way myself."
Old Master Mu raised his eyes again at this time. When Yang Shushu met his eyes again, she still felt a little uncomfortable, but she still straightened her back and said, "Old Master wants to help his grandson, that's for sure, but others may not be so sure."
Uncle Liang blinked, thinking that someone was talking to him, but Yang Shushu looked towards the window. Old Master Mu and Uncle Liang also looked at the window at the same time, and then they saw a figure hidden behind the curtains on the sunny side.
Anger flashed between Old Master Mu's brows, which made him seem a lot younger. Uncle Liang walked straight to the balcony window without him signaling, opened the window, and invited the person hiding nearby in.
Yang Shushu was quite surprised by the person who came in. It was Chi Ling.
Being caught red-handed, Chi Ling was terrified. She shrank to one side and didn't dare to look up at Old Master Mu. Old Master Mu didn't say anything, just stared at her with a frown. Yang Shushu felt a little tired watching her.
You said if you want to curse, then curse; if you want to run, then run. Aren’t you tired of just holding on like this?
Finally, Chi Ling couldn't stand the pressure of Old Master Mu's gaze anymore and admitted her mistake: "Grandpa, I... I wasn't eavesdropping. I... I just came to look for Xiaozhuang..."
"Xiao Zhuang could have climbed over the balcony next to him to get here?" Old Master Mu clearly didn't believe it, and he didn't want to listen to Chi Ling's explanation anymore. He waved his hand without even looking at her and said, "Get out."
Chi Ling felt as if she had been pardoned. She turned around and ran out of the study. When she got downstairs, Mu Shiyun was still there. Seeing her coming down, he hurried up and asked, "Did you hear anything?"
Chi Ling's eyes were red as she shook her head: "What are you listening to? If Grandpa finds out, he'll definitely hate me now."
"Anyway, I don't necessarily like you much. Tsk, really not, you can't even eavesdrop." Mu Shiyun walked out with an impatient look on his face.
Chi Ling followed: "Where are you going?"
"What's it to you where I go? You can't even handle this little thing, and you still have the nerve to meddle in this and that. Let go of my hand, and don't make me fight you here."
As he said this, he actually raised his hand. Chi Ling was startled and loosened her hand, watching him leave. The servants on Old Master Mu's side were even more well-trained. They pretended not to see what happened and were busy with their own things. Chi Ling couldn't even turn around and yell at them, "What are you looking at?" to vent her anger.
At this time, she looked upstairs again, gritted her teeth, turned around and left.

Although the matter of Mu Shicang was kept secret, it soon spread throughout Jinjing. Yang Shushu had reason to believe that in addition to the murderer's contribution, the uncles and aunts of the Mu family also added fuel to the fire.
After she came back yesterday, she hadn't seen Chunxiao. She usually liked to be lazy, so Yang Shushu didn't care much. But the next morning, Chunxiao didn't move. Before leaving, Yang Shushu knocked on her door.
But after knocking for a long time, no one was there. Yang Shushu, who was about to leave, suddenly thought of the fire. She had a fever in there and almost ran away. After thinking about it, she ran outside and went around to the window of Chunxiao's room to look. As a result, she saw a bulge on the bed. Looking closely, it seemed to be shaking constantly, which showed that there was someone there.
"Hey, Chunxiao, what's wrong with you? Are you having a fever again?" She shouted outside while knocking on the window.
But the people inside seemed to be shaking even more violently. Yang Shushu faintly heard a scream outside: "Ghost! Don't come to me."
What's going on? Did I dream about a ghost?
Just when she was puzzled, the person on the bed in the room seemed to be frightened by something. He suddenly threw off the quilt, jumped out of bed, opened the door and rushed out.
Yang Shushu quickly ran back and stopped Chunxiao who was about to rush out the door: "Chunxiao, what's wrong with you? It's just a dream, don't be so scared, wake up, wake up, it's daytime now."
Chunlan didn't even look at her, pushed her away and was about to run away, but she grabbed me back. I pushed her into the house, closed the door directly, stood in front of the door, and slapped Chunxiao who was about to rush over again.
"Can you please wake up? What are you crazy about?"
The slap was quite powerful and instantly calmed Chunxiao down. She covered her face and fell onto the carpet at the door, looking up at Yang Shushu blankly.
"Are you awake now? What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?" Yang Shushu squatted in front of her. She had just hit someone, but now she was very gentle. She even reached out to help her brush the hair that was blocking her face behind her ears.
Chunxiao looked at her blankly for a while, and finally suddenly lowered his head as if feeling guilty.
"You don't look well. Are you feeling unwell?" Yang Shushu helped her stand up. Chunxiao changed her usual arrogant look and became as obedient as a dog, allowing Yang Shushu to help her sit on the sofa.
"Young Madam..." Chun Xiao suddenly spoke. This was the first time she called her Young Madam, and it sounded very sincere.
Yang Shushu raised her eyebrows, feeling that something was wrong with the Spring Festival Gala today. Even if it was a nightmare, it shouldn't be like this, right?
So, she deliberately said, "You have something to do? But I think I'm very busy these days. Can I talk to you in a few days?"
Chun Xiao suddenly shook her head vigorously: "No... I'll tell you now."
Looking at her expression, Yang Shushu had no choice but to nod: "Okay, go ahead."
"I...I want to resign."
