The Aloof Prince Pampers His Wild First Rate Consort Chapter 66

When the words fell, Zhuang Yuyan stood up and looked at Mu Yunjin.
"Yunjin mei mei, you sit here and wait for me. I will let Ruhan help me."
Mu Yunjin heard the words and slightly nodded.
When Zhuang Yuyan and Wen Ruhan walked to the kitchen's direction, Mu Yunjin slightly raised the tip of her brow at the same time she stood up and quietly followed the two people's back.
At this time, the kitchen door closed tightly, Mu Yunjin leaned against the corner outside the kitchen, and put a hole in the window, watching the movements inside.
In the kitchen, Zhuang Yuyan was kneading flour and laughing with Wen Ruhan. Her smile is very real.
But Wen Ruhan, though she was chatting and laughing with Zhuang Yuyan, her eyes were floating around, and her mind is not at all with Zhuang Yuyan.
"Ruhan, help me add some water, I'll prepare some brown sugar."
Then Zhuang Yuyan wiped her hands and turned around to prepare brown sugar.
Wen Ruhan heard her and nodded her head, then glanced back and saw that Zhuang Yuyan is preparing brown sugar. Then she stealthily approached the flour Zhuang Yuyan was kneading earlier.
Pausing her steps, Wen Ruhan looked at Zhuang Yuyan again, and then, trembling a little, she took out a small paper bag from the sleeve of her clothes, and then gently opened it and sprinkled the powder into the flour.
The paper was then crumpled into a ball and is stuffed back into her sleeves, and after this series of things, she secretly sighed in relief.
Looking at this scene, Mu Yunjin lips were slightly drawn up, as she inwardly scold, Wen Ruhan this idiot, is being used as a tool but does not know it.
It seems that she has to properly warn Chu Qingqiang.
……….
In a short while, after seeing the water chestnut cake come out from the oven, Mu Yunjin began to walk back to the front hall.
Sitting in the front hall, Mu Yunjin is drinking tea, she glimpsed the shadow of Zhuang Yuyan and Wen Ruhan walking together, showing a smile on their faces.
"The Water chestnut cake is so fragrant."
"Yes, Yuyan is an expert in making water chestnut cake."
Wen Ruhan faced Mu Yunjin with a smile.
Mu Yunjin nodded slightly, then saw Zhuang Yuyan put the dish of the water chestnut cake at the table, picked up a piece of it and handed it to Mu Yunjin.
"Yunjin mei mei, have a taste."
Mu Yunjin smiled, and took the water chestnut cake.
Wen Ruhan slightly lowered her eyes, and then picked up a piece and handed it to Zhuang Yuyan.
"Well, you've worked so hard for it, you should try it first."
"Still it is best to do as Ruhan has said."
Zhuang Yuyan took the water chestnut cake and was about to open her mouth to bite when sounds of coughing are heard.
"Ke, Ke, Ke……"
Following the prestige, Mu Yunjin covered the pit of her stomach and coughed laboriously.
"What's wrong with you, Yunjin mei mei?"
Zhuang Yuyan put down her water chestnut cake and ran over and patted Mu Yunjin's back gently.
After Mu Yunjin finished coughing, she drank her tea and glanced at the standing and motionless Wen Ruhan.
Wen Ruhan met with Mu Yunjin's line of sight, a little embarra.s.sed, she then smiled.
"Are you okay?"
"I'm all right."
When the words fell, Mu Yunjin picked up the tray of the water chestnut cake and handed it in front of Wen Ruhan.
"Ruhan Jie, didn't you say you want to eat water chestnut cake? Why are you standing still? It will cool down if you don't start eating it."
Wen Ruhan's action is somewhat hesitant. A moment later, she put on a smile.
"It's alright, you eat first. I used to eat this water chestnut cake a lot in the past. "
"But didn't you propose that you want to eat water chestnut cake made by Yuyan Jie today? We don't need formalities, it's enough for us to divide such a large plate."
Mu Yunjin still holds the gesture of pa.s.sing the dish. Her eyes contained a profound smile.
Zhuang Yuyan stood aside. Mu Yunjin's sudden change of att.i.tude made her feel a little surprised. She could not help biting her lips and stare at the plate of water chestnut cake.
Wen Ruhan met with Mu Yunjin's deep gaze and the bottom of her heart slightly trembled. Then she picked up a piece of the water chestnut cake and kept a smile on her face.
"Good, you should quickly eat it too."
Seeing that Wen Ruhan just took it without eating it. Mu Yunjin put down the plate, and smiled.
"Ruhan Jie, why are you not eating?"
"I like eating it when it is cooler, it is still little hot at the moment."
Wen Ruhan faintly smiled.
Mu Yunjin nodded her head and looked at the time. The corners of her mouth lit up to a very faint arc.
"Then I'll give you time to cool it down."
"Yunjin mei mei, what do you mean by this? I have come this day, but it is as if I have offended you? "
Wen Ruhan put down her water chestnut cake, and angrily looked at Mu Yunjin.
Zhuang Yuyan saw that the atmosphere was not right. She stood up and looked at both sides.
"Everyone is like a sister. There is no need to be angry for these trivial matters."
Mu Yunjin supported her head, but did not speak.
"Forget it, It's fine. Yu Yan, I'll call on you later."
Wen Ruhan felt that she had to leave now.
"Stop!"
Mu Yunjin gave voice to stop her.
Wen Ruhan stopped her footsteps, bit her lip, feeling wronged she spoke.
"Liu huang zi fei has anymore instruction?"
"Ruhan, Yunjin mei mei……"
Zhuang Yuyan is feeling a little conflicted.
Mu Yunjin got up and picked up the water chestnut cake. She walked up to Wen Ruhan's side and revealed an extremely cold eyes.
"Eat it."
"You, in the end, what do you mean by this?"
Wen Ruhan is a bit angry.
"What do I mean?"
Mu Yun smiled.
"Don't you know better than me?"
When her words fell, Mu Yunjin shouted to one side.
"Someone come! Ask the prefectural magistrate to come. Tell them that someone wants to poison and murder in the Xiang fu!"
When listening to the words of poison and murder, Zhuang Yuyan and Wen Ruhan widened their eyes together at the same time. One is unbelieving and the other is guilty.
"Yunjin mei mei, what does this mean?"
Zhuang Yuyan asked, feeling a little scared.
Hearing her, Mu Yunjin put down the water chestnut cake and pulled Wen Ruhan's right hand, and then pulled out a crumpled paper bag from her sleeve.
"Wen Ruhan, you have the courage to put poison in the water chestnut cake. You must have the courage to admit it. In this paper bag, there are remnants of powder, We can let people examine it to see whether or not the thing in this bag, and the thing in the water chestnut, are the same."
Wen Ruhan met with Mu Yunjin's argument, she was scared and softly sat paralyzed on the spot.
"No, it's not me.…"
"Ruhan, you, you, why?"
Zhuang Yuyan is finding it a little difficult to believe, but in a moment, she thought of Wen Runhan's unusual behavior and she can't help but be convinced with Mu Yunjin's words.
"Yuyan, you have to believe me. I didn't do it. I didn't know how the paper bag got into me. Someone must have wronged me!"
Wen Ruhan was very anxious, and there was some kind of pleading in her eyes.
Zhuang Yuyan looked at the scene and took a deep breath. Her eyes gradually dimmed.
"The person has been caught but this Wen Xiaojie is the daughter of the Minister of labor, and her ident.i.ty is special. I am afraid it will be handed over to the Justice Office to preside over the case."
Mu Yunjin lightly said.
As soon as Wen Ruhan heard the Justice Office, Wen Ruhan recalled Su Bi Qing's punishment. No, It won't do!
"Liu huang zi fei, Ruhan is wronged, Ruhan is also threatened by people, and was forced to do so!"
Wen Ruhan immediately changed to kneeling position and continuosly knocked her head in front of Mu Yunjin.
Seeing Wen Ruhan really admitted it. In Zhuang Yuyan's heart she could hardly conceal her disappointment. She sat down on the chair beside her, and looked away from Wen Ruhan.
"Liu huang zi fei, actually, this is Wu Gongzhu's instruction to me. She gave this medicine to me. She summoned me that day, and let me work for her. I am threatened to do things for her, if not she would take out evidence of my father's corruption in the Ministry of labor. If that time comes then, it may be possible for the Wen family to fall and be executed until the third generation!"
"I know that my father is honest and clean in his life as a government official and would not take bribes. But the other side is the Wu gongzhu, a part of the royal family. She said she would come up with the evidence of my father's corruption, and I think she would definitely come up with it."
"I really have no other way. In order to preserve our Wen family, I was very hot headed and confused. "
"Liu huang zi fei, Yuyan jie, I beg you, forgive me this time, I was forced!"
As Wen Ruhan spoke incessantly, she kept knocking her head.
At this point, Mu Yunhan came from the direction of the back garden, tight faced, looking displeased as he looked at the scene in the front hall, and looked at Mu Yunjin's expression.
Seeing Mu Yunhan come out, Zhuang Yuyan's steady eyes, had some shame.
"Elder brother, this Wen xiaojie, how should we deal with her?"
Mu Yunjin tossed the problem to Mu Yunhan.
Mu Yunhan heard her, his elegant face is ice cold.
"Since it involves human life, we must do it according to official business, Wen Xiaojie will be handed over to the Justice Office to take care of."
"No! Mu da shao ye, please forgive me, spare my life. I know its wrong, I promise I won't dare do it again! "
Wen Ruhan immediately climbed to the side of Mu Yunhan and pulled on his clothes.
In her heart, she knew that once she entered the Justice Office and got involved in a murder case, even if she could get an innocent verdict and get out, her life would be practically destroyed.
"Yuyan's heart is good, before she was exploited by people like you. Yu Yan has just married into my house and this matter has happened in a day. If I forgive you, how can I explain to Tai Fu da ren?!"
"Someone come, drag her out and hand her over to the Justice Office!"
When the words fell, a few of the bodyguards who followed Mu Yunhan's side came out and dragged the struggling Wen Ruhan out the front door of the hall.
After the hall recovered it's calm, Zhuang Yuyan frowned, and her face was displeased.
"Yuyan Jie should not be sad. It is also a good thing to clearly see earlier this person's face."
Mu Yunjin comforted.
Zhuang Yuyan nodded slightly and raised her eyes to look at Mu Yunjin.
"Yunjin mei mei, it is thanks to you today, if not for you, I……"
"It's fine, we are all family, so there is no need to speak like an outsider."
Mu Yunjin replied.
Zhuang Yuyan voiced an approval, then she rubbed her temple, and her face is also a little white.
"I'm tired. I'll go back and rest for a while."
"Cui zhu, help the fu ren."
Mu Yunhan ordered a maidservant at the side.
After Zhuang Yuyan left, Mu Yunjin looked at Mu Yunhan, and made a faint voice.
"That Chu Qingqiang, it looks like she really regarded our words as wind past her ears."
"What do you plan to do?"
Mu Yunhan asked.
"Do not have to do anything. After the news of Wen Ruhan entering the Justice Office, Chu Qing Qiang would presumably recognize it."
"If she doesn't learn well this time, then I don't have to keep her secret for her anymore."
Mu Yunjin's words fell, and her lips evoked a cold smile.
