Mu Run: "I didn't feel like I was tossing and turning. Did you hear me wrong?"
Shao Rong: "No."
Yan Bingyan asked, "Besides that house, is there anything else suspicious?"
Mu Run replied, "Nothing else was found."
Yan Bingyan: "Then why did you leave the palace?"
Mu Run said, "I want to leave the palace."
Yan Bingyan: "..."
Shao Rong: "..."
Yan Bingyan: "Is carrying out a mission something you can do whenever you want and not do whenever you don't want to?"
Mu Run: "Then I'll resign."
Yan Bingyan: "You want to leave the Imperial Certification Department?"
Mu Run nodded: "Yes."
Yan Bingyan glanced at Shao Rong.
Shao Rong's expression hardened, and he reached out to grab Mu Run with his bare hands.
Mu Run dodged aside, leaped out of the carriage, and made a quick getaway.
“Her skills are quite impressive,” Yan Bingyan said.
Shao Rong replied, "To be able to evade my attack, her skill is no less than mine. Also, she wasn't disguised!"
"What?!" Yan Bingyan exclaimed in shock. "Then isn't she...?"
"She is Fu Yunchen's new wife. The one who died should be Mo Xiaowan. Or perhaps Mo Xiaowan didn't die, but was subdued by her."
Yan Bingyan smiled, a strange glint flashing in his eyes. "She is Mu Run."
Shao Rong: "Should I continue to capture her?"
Yan Bingyan: "Can you catch it?"
Shao Rong thought for a moment: "Fifty-fifty."
Yan Bingyan: "Then forget it. Let's go back and check if Mo Xiaowan is dead or alive first, and then we'll see what happens."
Shao Rong replied, "Yes."
After escaping from Yan Bingyan's carriage, Mu Run wandered around, making sure no one was following him, before returning to the inn.
Yang Yang was greeting guests when he saw Mu Run return. He exchanged a few more pleasantries with the guests and then came over to greet her.
"Madam is back. Please come in."
"I'm leaving now. Please pack up the goods I left here and take them to the dock."
"Alright, here's a list of your goods. Please take a look." Yang Yang handed an envelope to Mu Run.
Mu Run pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Is everything... all sorted out?"
Yang Yang nodded, "Please take a look and see if there are any other oversights."
Mu Run walked to a quieter corner and opened the letter.
Inside was Mo Xiaowan's confession. Seven years ago, Mo Xiaowan had already become a spy for the Imperial Crow Division. However, she was rarely used, which is why she hadn't given herself away.
When Bianyun Village was attacked by the Northern Jin Dynasty, it was Mo Xiaowan who leaked the defense map of Bianyun Village to the Northern Jin Dynasty.
She betrayed Bianyun Village because she desperately wanted to get Fu Yunchen and wanted him to see her.
She hadn't originally intended to be so heartless, but Fu Yunchen's insistence on the wedding ceremony and concealing her grandfather's death after Old Master Mo's death became unbearable. If she couldn't have him, she would destroy him!
If Huang Chengsi hadn't wanted people alive, she would have killed Mu Run long ago.
Mo Xiaowan, who was in the dungeon, suddenly curled up into a ball, clutched her heart, and screamed.
Just then, Mu Run came to see her and, seeing her in such pain, knew that Huang Chengsi had tampered with the mother Gu that was controlling her.
"Eat it." Mu Run tossed a medicine bottle to Mo Xiaowan. Inside the bottle were two antidotes to alleviate the Heart-Eating Gu, which she had asked Yan Bingyan for when she was in the Imperial Cultivation Division.
Mo Xiaowan quickly picked up the medicine bottle and took the medicine inside.
The excruciating pain gradually subsided.
Mo Xiaowan looked at Mu Run and said, "What else do you want? I've said everything I can."
Mu Run noticed her clothes were wet and looked at Yang Yang, "Were you tortured?"
