After finishing the work in the backyard, Yuan Mu and Mu Liuyun returned to the living room in the front yard. The cook hadn't finished cooking yet, but the maid actively served them a new pot of hot tea.

The two sat down to rest for a while. Mrs. Wu came back, holding a booklet in her hand. She looked a little excited. She walked to the living room and blessed the two people deeply: "My lords, I have just announced the plan for the people."

I have heard from the servants at home that you two have dealt with those evil people who have been doing all kinds of bad things in the back house of my house!

The kindness you two have shown us weak women, we will definitely repay even if we tie grass rings in our next life!"

"Second Madam, you don't have to be like this. Punishing rape and eradicating evil is the duty of the Criminal Division. It is also my duty to do this. It is not specifically to help you or anyone in the government. Even if they are doing evil elsewhere, I will still do it."

Deal with it this way." Yuan Mu did not intend to take credit and responded in a calm tone.

Mrs. Wu put the book neatly on the tea table and said to Yuan Mu: "This is a private account kept by Wu Rongzhi. It records all the contacts he has had with people over the years.

How much gold and silver, how many treasures, and how many beautiful piano players have been given by the Shangguan over there in the state capital, please take a look at them!"

"Didn't you say before that you didn't ask anything about Wu Rongzhi's affairs outside? Why do you have such an account in your hand?" Yuan Mu took it and flipped through a few pages. He found that although the account was a little messy, it was very detailed.

.

However, the pages I quickly scanned were all about gold, silver, jewelry, or beautiful horses and beauties, and I didn't see any trace of rare objects from foreign tribes.

"My lord, this account was not recorded by me, but by Wu Rongzhi himself." Mrs. Wu replied, "I also accidentally bumped into Wu Rongzhi keeping accounts in the study, and I didn't know that he had such a book.

account.

After I bumped into him, Wu Rongzhi was very wary, and he became even more strict with his study. He would always leave someone guarding the door of the study. No one else was allowed in or out except him, and I was not allowed to go to his study to look for him.

.

Lord Cai just asked me about his dealings with whom and what kind of people, so I thought of this incident. I didn’t know if I could find it. I was afraid that I would tell you if I couldn’t find it and it would be difficult to explain it to the two adults, so I ran away.

After searching for a long time, I finally found a hidden compartment in the study room, and found this account book in the hidden compartment.

I will give the account book to you two adults. Please take a look at it. I will go to the kitchen to see how the cook is preparing lunch."

After saying that, she bowed again, exited the living room, and went to the kitchen to check the progress, leaving the space here for Yuan Mu and Mu Liuyun to look through the account book she had just found.

Mu Liuyun looked at the back of Second Madam Wu as she left, and sighed, sighing at the fate of the people. This Second Madam Wu was such a smart and well-informed woman. If she had married into a good and well-off family, she would be able to do it now.

She is a very competent matron, living a smooth and stable life, with a family full of children and grandchildren, and endless happiness.

As a result, she fell in love with Wu Rongzhi, a scumbag, and forced her into a marriage, which cost her half her life. Although Wu Rongzhi is dead now, she can be considered out of the clutches of the devil, but at this age, how will she go forward?

It is also unknown.

After Mrs. Wu left, Yuan Mu naturally planned to look through the account book in detail. Mu Liuyun felt that it was boring to sit aside, but he was too embarrassed to come up to him and read with him, so he simply stood up and took another one.

He left the living room with the cup and teapot, came to Qiniang's side, and sat down on the stone steps next to him.

Qiniang had completely lost all energy at this moment, her head was drooped, and she was breathless. If she hadn't felt someone approaching and raised her eyelids, Mu Liuyun would have thought that she had passed out.

She had been tied to the pillar in the sun for so long, and the midday sun was the hottest. Now her whole body was almost drenched with sweat, and the strands of hair on her forehead were all wet with sweat.

A bunch of them, very ugly.

Mu Liuyun picked up the teapot and poured water into the cup. When Qiniang heard the sound of water, she raised her head and instinctively swallowed a mouthful of saliva that might have dried up. Her dry lips trembled, and her eyes were full of desire.

light.

"Come on, have a drink of water! After being in the sun for so long, you're already soaked through, right?" Mu Liuyun said to her.

As she spoke, she handed the tea cup to Qiniang's mouth. She didn't intend to play with her, but kindly helped to hold the cup steady so that she could take a sip.

Qiniang had been exposed to the sun for so long, and she was already so thirsty that she was almost smoking. Now she was very anxious to drink, and she quickly drank up a cup of tea. However, she still felt that her thirst was not quenched, so she looked at Mu Liuyun pleadingly.

, begging her in a hoarse voice: "Sir, please do well, you are a good person, please give me some more water! Please!"

"Don't worry, there's plenty of water, but you've been thirsty for so long. Don't drink too fast now. Drinking too fast will cause trouble! I'll pour it for you later!" Mu Liuyun put the teapot down.

He went aside and didn't pour her any more water, "Tell me, why are you doing this? Even you, the second wife, have so much control over you in the Wu family, let alone you.

Just now we adults asked you, if you were more honest and answered questions, wouldn't you have nothing to do now and you could go back to your room and stay comfortably? Wouldn't that be better than basking in the sun here?

What a little thought!"

Qiniang didn't know if she drank some water, and her whole body calmed down a little. After hearing what Mu Liuyun said, she suddenly felt sad and sad. She choked and said: "Sir, I am just an ant.

It’s the same thing, so there’s no need to think about it! I just want to live a good life, be safe and sound.

This world is too difficult for women. If you are lucky enough to be born into a wealthy family and be a young lady, you will be able to enjoy happiness. When you get married, you will also be the wife of that family, and you can do whatever you want in the house!

But how can I have such a good life? I am a miserable person. I have been homeless since I was a child and suffered a lot. I thought I would rot in a mud pit for the rest of my life. Unexpectedly, I suddenly got lucky and made it possible for me to survive.

Have a peaceful and stable life.

So I am really scared! I never want to go back to my original life! Now, if I were to go back to the place where I started, I would really be in trouble.

It would be better to die, there is no hope at all!

So I can’t offend anyone, I’m really too difficult!”
