My Lady Is Not A Demon

After leaving Meng Yanqing's house, Chen Mu went straight to the six doors.

Before, he planned to investigate the Pingyang Palace slowly, but now that Meng Yanqing happened, he decided to speed up.

Although the consequences of doing so will startle and alarm the people behind the scenes, he doesn't care anymore.

This Pingyang Palace is too evil.

The people inside are very abnormal, whether it is the prince who is fat into a fat pig or the sickly Ji Kou, or even the pink maid.

Everyone seemed to be wicked.

Although the other party spared Meng Yanqing today, he couldn't guarantee that one day he suddenly went crazy and took Meng Yanqing away.

Who will save her then?

Not every time it can be as lucky as it is today.

Recalling the scene he saw when he kicked the door open, Chen Mu had a chill in his back and a chill.

If it weren't for the paper ball, Meng Yanqing might have pointed out something terrible would happen.

So the problem must be solved from the root cause.

"Yunxiu Pavilion Lin Family, Hong Mansion, and Pingyang Prince's Mansion and Yuan Prince's Mansion... I will find out everything I can find. Don't leave any information, including the background of the maids in the mansion, etc."

Chen Mu gave Wang Fafa an order, "The case database, the household department, can be checked, and the speed is faster. In addition, let the brothers go outside to inquire about the Eight Trigrams of the palace..."

After ordering for ten minutes, Chen Mu's mouth became dry, and he picked up his teacup and took a few sips.

Seeing Leng Tianying entering the small courtyard, Chen Mu handed over some of the files he had compiled before to Wang Fafa: "I have marked out some of the key information in it, and let Zhang Awei reorganize it."

"This is the humble job."

Wang Fafa nodded solemnly and left the room.

Leng Tianying, who entered the house, frowned and asked: "Brother Chen, what's going on today? Didn't you go to Pingyang Prince's Mansion to ask about the case? Why did you have a conflict with Pingyang King?"

Chen Mu smiled bitterly: "It can't be done, a little accident happened."

"What an accident."

Leng Tianying broke the posture of asking the casserole to the end.

Chen Mu said indifferently: "I went to the palace today, just to see that the prince of Pingyang was bullying a woman from a good family, who was the mother of my subordinate, so I couldn't help but do it."

"Is there anything else?"

Leng Tianying's expression was astonished, and he patted the table heavily, "This prince of Pingyang is too shameful, how can he bully the good women?"

He walked a few steps back and forth in the room, looking filled with righteous indignation.

Then he asked again: "Did you do it?"

Chen Mu nodded: "Yes, I beat the prince."

Leng Tianying opened her lips slightly, looked at Chen Mu with the look of a monster, and asked after a long time: "Then why did the Pingyang Palace let you go again?"

"Who knows, maybe because I was the chief arrester of the foreign government, I was afraid of causing trouble, so I let us go."

Chen Mu didn't want to say more, and said casually.

Leng Tianying's face was uncertain.

When Li Tang ran to report, he was really frightened and stupid, and he didn't expect Chen Mu to dare to beat the prince.

But now hearing the other party's explanation, it feels incredible.

Just because a woman went to beat the prince?

Get sick.

But what makes him puzzled is why the Pingyang Prince's Mansion let Chen Mu so easily, is it planning to settle the accounts slowly?

Thinking of this, Leng Tianying smiled and said, "Brother Chen, otherwise you shouldn't investigate this case."

Chen Mu stared at him coldly: "Don't worry, sir, even if the prince really wants revenge, I won't hurt you to six doors, let alone you. Besides, I still have the status of monitoring the Demon Division's Xuantian Department."

When the other party saw through his thoughts, Leng Tianying smiled embarrassedly: "Brother Chen, what are you talking about? Since you want to investigate, then you can do it."

After speaking, he left dingy.

After leaving the hospital, he looked back and cursed silly.

...

When returning home in the evening, Chen Mu went to visit Meng Yanqing again.The woman's emotions recovered quickly. After all, she was no longer a little girl. Except for the worries hidden under her eyes, she looked no different from usual.

Only when facing Chen Mu, she showed her little daughter-like shyness.

For the first time in so many years, she has been so close to a man, completely exposing her weak side to each other.

"Why don't you go live with me temporarily."

Chen Mu suggested.

Meng Yanqing shook her head: "No, in fact... there is nothing to be afraid of. Since they let us go, they should not come again."

Chen Mu did not force each other: "Don't worry, I will protect you."

Listening to the man's heartfelt concern, Meng Yanqing felt warm in her heart, and she was a little bit inexplicably sour, and smiled bitterly: "I'm causing you trouble again today."

She was referring to Chen Mu's brutal beating of the prince.

Although the fat prince did not pursue it, this incident will inevitably cause Chen Mu a lot of trouble.

Seeing the small scars in the woman's eyes, Chen Mu subconsciously wanted to step forward to comfort, but the woman took two steps back.

Meng Yanqing bit her plump lips lightly and whispered, "Xiao Xuan'er is here."

There was a bit of shame in the tone.

Chen Mu glanced at the little girl who had been lying on the corner of the bookcase and writing after school, and smiled: "Then I won't bother you, and I will see you tomorrow when there is no one."

Meng Yanqing's face blushed, and her head gently hung down.

Like a lotus flower, shy of the cool breeze.

When he walked out to the door, Chen Mu happened to meet Zhang Awei who had come back from a bad value.

The other party was holding two kilograms of beef bought from Guan Tuzi, and when he saw Chen Mu, he said hello: "Team, won't you stay for dinner?"

"No."

Chen Mu patted him on the shoulder, "I'll buy you some oranges."

tangerinr?

Zhang Awei was confused.

...

The next day, Chen Mu first visited the Haotian Department of the Suppression Demon Division and asked about the autopsy of Cuckoo.

It is a pity that the traces of Gu in the cuckoo's corpse have not been detected yet. It will take at least three days or so. The disappointed Chen Mu had to give up.

Before leaving, he asked Tie Bizhuang about the Fox Demon case.

As a result, the other party didn't reply accurately.

This made Chen Mu have to doubt that the people in the Haotian Department also eat dry food.

Although he had a guess about Fox Demon in his mind, he felt a little problematic intuitively, so he didn't tell him in the end.

By the afternoon, Wang Fafa had collected most of the information about the Pingyang Palace, the Lin Family, and the Hong Family.

Unfortunately, these materials are too superficial, and it is basically difficult to dig deeper clues.

Fortunately, after careful screening by Chen Mu, several suspicious pieces of information were still found.

The first message:

Both Lin Mengyuan and Dujuan were born when the year was overcast and the moon was overcast and the sun was overcast.

That is, the rare numerology "eight-character full yin".

Although it is not certain whether there is a close relationship between the two people, at least it is worth digging deeper.

The second message:

The last king of Binh Duong, Ji Zhonghai, had served as a general in the Southern Region, and he had made a lot of military exploits to quell the Southern Region's rebellion.

But later, he took the initiative to step down from the post of general and returned to the capital to enjoy peace and prosperity.

However, from the perspective of Meng Yanqing, her father is a very wolfish villain, with a hostile spirit in his bones.

It is estimated that he was forced to return to the capital.

The third message:

After the Prince Yuan's Mansion was massacred by the whole family, only three days later, Big Brother Ji Zhonghai died of illness at home.

It's hard not to doubt that there is a conspiracy.

According to the Eight Trigrams rumors, the Emperor Xian had planned to slaughter the Pingyang Prince’s Mansion after slaughtering the Prince Yuan’s Mansion, but Ji Zhonghai took the initiative to commit suicide and saved his family.

The fourth message:

The second master Jikou, who coughs all the year round, actually had a fiancée before.

She was the daughter of the last Minister You Shi Lang, named Chang Hui.

The two are also childhood sweethearts.

Moreover, Chang Hui also lived in the Pingyang Palace for a period of time, but later her father was dismissed because of bribery, and the marriage contract between the two ended.

After that, Chang Hui married Lin Hexin, an embroidery workshop owner.

The two had a daughter named Lin Mengyuan.

The fifth message:

The relationship between Pingyang Prince's Mansion and Hong Mansion was very good, and Ji Zhonghai and Hong Zhifan's father Hong Xiangshan were brothers, and the two forged a deep friendship on the battlefield.

According to Eight Trigrams rumors, the two also proposed a marriage.

But after the case of Prince Tanuki, the relationship between the two families faded.

If this is true, then if Meng Yanqing did not leave, she and Hong Zhifan were most likely to be married.

…

Chen Mu, who had finished sorting out all the information, let out a long sigh of relief looking at the large and small information that was screened out.

How tired.

To be honest, at first glance this information is messy, but after careful combing, you will find that there is always a secret line connecting these together.

The Hong family has a close relationship with the Pingyang Prince’s Mansion.

Meng Yanqing and Hong Zhifan almost got married.

The case of Prince Limao broke out, and the relationship between the two families faded.

The Hong Mansion was massacred.

Before the death of the first emperor, he took the newly-born son of the Yuan prince into the palace and passed it to the queen.

The next day, Prince Yuan’s Mansion was slaughtered by monsters.

Only three days later, the death of Pingyang Wang Jizhonghai as the Big Brother was equivalent to the disappearance of the little emperor’s close relatives.

The eldest son Ji Chong inherited his father's business and became the current King of Binh Duong.

A year later, the marriage contract between his second son Ji Kou and You Shi Lang, the daughter of Li Bu You Shi Lang, was annulled, and the latter left the Pingyang Palace.

Chang Hui married Lin Hexin, the owner of Yunxiu Pavilion, and gave birth to daughter Lin Mengyuan.

A few years later, Lin Mengyuan committed suicide for love.

The queen mother was assassinated.

The Lin family ransacked for harbouring repeat offenders.

The cuckoo case happened.

"If it weren't for this related information, you might imagine that these seemingly irrelevant people could be connected to these cases."

Chen Mu rubbed his swollen eyebrows and muttered to himself, "Up to the emperor, down to the common people, there is always a secret line running through it, but what is this line?"

Chen Mu was lying on the desk, beating his head.

Efforts to separate this information from the combination.

Although the clues are now clear, but helplessly, he doesn't know where to start, and he is depressed.

"These materials are still not deep enough."

Chen Mu said to Wang Fafa.

Wang Fa smiled bitterly: "My lord, this is already the best effort of our six doors. If you really want to dig deeper, you can only go to Charon."

"Phantom?"

"Yes, the intelligence in the Hall of Charon Vermillion Bird is more accurate than that of any department, but... we are not qualified to seek help."

Wang Fa said helplessly.

In the past, there was a case of getting stuck in a bottleneck, and the boss ran to ask for help, but he didn't even enter the door, let alone see Vermillion Bird.

Chen Mu tapped his fingers on the table lightly, and said lightly, "I'll try it tomorrow."

——

When he got home, the sister-in-law had already cooked food and was waiting for him.Bai Xianyu is reading in the study.

Chen Mu had a delicious dinner, flirted with his sister-in-law, and went to the study.

In the study, a woman dressed in white was sitting on a chair, quietly flipping through the yellowed scroll in her hand, with a focused expression.

"Husband, have you eaten?"

The woman raised her head with a gentle and moving smile.

In the dim light, the woman's smooth, jade-like cheeks are covered with a faint soft luster, dreamlike and poetic.

"Ate."

Chen Mu smiled and nodded.

He came behind his wife and gently squeezed each other's shoulders: "The lady seems to be in a bad spirit these days, should I give you a full body massage?"

The latter was startled slightly, and narrowed his beautiful eyes:

"The husband suddenly came to show his courtesy, maybe he did something to be sorry for his concubine outside, right?"

"How is it possible, am I that kind of person?"

Chen Mu smiled, leaned over and sniffed the fragrance inside his wife's neck, "I just miss you, get close."

Feeling the heat exhaled from the man's neck, a smudge slowly climbed onto his cheeks.

Bai Xianyu gently closed the book, concealing the information that Lingyu had just sent, with a helpless expression: "My husband is not getting into trouble again, right?"

"Nothing."

Chen Mu didn't intend to mention the royal palace, so as not to worry the other party, "In fact, I just want to ask you if there are any valuable treasures in the family."

A valuable treasure?

Bai Xianyu blinked her beautiful eyes, and asked in confusion, "What do you ask this for?"

"I plan to give gifts."

"Gift?"

"Yes, but it's not what you think it is. It's an official matter, and you don't know much about Daoist's family."

Chen Mu smiled awkwardly.

The corners of Baixianyu's lips rose slightly, and pointed to the antiques on the bookshelf: "Those things are all good, you can pick whatever you like."

"That's it?"

Chen Mu walked over and picked up a vase casually, and muttered in a low voice, "Is there a hundred taels?"

Although there was an ex-girlfriend who loves collecting in a previous life, she was very good at discerning jade and porcelain, but Chen Mu didn't know much about it.

"It's not expensive, about four thousand taels."

Bai Xianyu looked down at the book and said lightly.

Chen Mu shivered and almost dropped the vase in his hand on the ground.

You prodigal girl.

Although I know that the lady is an invisible rich woman, this is too embarrassing. If this family is a thief, it is estimated that three generations of the thief will have no worries about food and clothing.

"Is there anything a little plain, it doesn't need to be so expensive."

Chen Mu's heart was dripping blood.

It's a pity to give such an expensive gift, it's better to change your money and go to sleep with an oiran.

Bai Xianyu turned the pages of the book with her slender fingers, and said casually: "The others are the same. If you don't like it, you can buy it yourself. There is a silver ticket in the lower drawer."

"Then make do with this first."

Chen Mu pretended to be calm and said, "I will buy you a better one the other day."

The woman looked sideways at Chen Mu who was holding the vase, and couldn't help but curiously asked, "Who is the husband planning to give gifts to?"

"A corrupt official who everyone gets and punishes."

Chen Mu said.

——

The next day, Bai Xianyu, who came to the Vermillion Bird Hall to handle official duties, looked at the familiar vase on the table and fell into deep thought.

...

(Author’s words: Although the case seems a bit messy at the moment, it’s not anxious, letting bean sprouts unfold slowly, and now all the key figures have emerged, and the mystery has begun to be revealed...
