General's Mansion.

Jiang Yi woke up, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Mu Youde's face. Her heart was abnormal, and those overwhelming and repressed thoughts were like a net, tightly binding her.

The net was bound and tightened, and the net made of silver wire had sharp thorns, making her drip with blood.

Jiang Yi couldn't feel the pain, she just felt numb and hopeless.

"Drink the medicine when you wake up." Mu Youde held the medicine in his hand. The bitter smell of the medicine lingered in the room and mixed into the bone marrow.

He scooped out a spoonful and blew on it.

Perhaps she had been ill for a while, and Jiang Yi felt weak all over. Her face was pale, and there was sweat on her forehead from nightmares. Her voice escaped from the corners of her mouth.

"I had a dream. I dreamed that Jiao Jiao had become a big girl. She was as bright and beautiful as an ordinary girl. The cloak that the late emperor had given her didn't look too small on her body at all. It fit her perfectly. I was standing on the throne of my house.

On the high platform, even though we are so far apart, we can see her smiling happily downstairs."

In the dream, I felt so satisfied and happy.

"But Jiao Jiao suddenly disappeared, disappearing under my nose. I wanted to find her, so I jumped down without hesitation. The wind blowing on my face seemed so biting."

Mu Youde hesitated for a moment, and soon he seemed not to have heard anything. He just said in the most normal tone: "Open your mouth."

Jiang Yi just thought about herself and said: "But before I woke up, this dream was shattered, and I felt like I was back before I left the court. My father and brother said they wanted to cancel the marriage between Jiang Mu's family. I agreed at that time, and I also

If I no longer have anything to do with you, no Brother Han, no Jiao Jiao, I would not be in the situation I am in today, as if someone had cut my heart with one knife after another."

Jiang Yi stood up and ignored the bowl of soup, her eyes just dull and lifeless.

She didn't know what happened, but she burst into laughter at this moment, but it was accompanied by uncontrollable tears rolling down her face.

Mu Youde didn't dare to listen to what she said anymore. He stood up suddenly and strode out with his face as usual. The concoction in the bowl shook violently as he moved, but no trace of it was spilled.

He just came out of the yard, still as majestic as before. He closed his eyes, and then looked at the mother-in-law waiting outside: "Watch Madam drink it."

As he spoke, he handed over the medicine bowl, and then walked out step by step. No one knew that the veins in his hands under his sleeves were bulging, and he was trembling violently under the situation that he couldn't control. The blood vessels seemed to be like

It can break through the confinement of the skin and explode at any time.

The mother-in-law entered the house carrying the medicine bowl. When she saw Jiang Yi, her eyes turned red.

She threw herself in front of the bed: "Madam, the young master has gone to look for him, and there will definitely be results."

"You must take care of yourself."

That's right, she has to keep herself up and go looking for the bright spot. If she can't find it for a day, she will search for it. If she can't find it for a year, she will search for it for a year. Day by day, month by month, year by year, she can afford to search and wait.

I don’t know how long it took, but she said in a hoarse voice: “Do you still have the peace charm from before?”

The mother-in-law didn't know why, but she quickly got up and looked for it: "Yes."

Jiang Yi reached out and took it, squeezing it tightly in her hand.

People always beg God for mercy when they are desperate.

The news that the Mu girl was exchanged spread completely.

Everyone was still immersed in the joy of tax reductions and stress relief, but they were shocked by the news. Soon, the news spread throughout Lin'an City and even spread out of the city as if it had grown legs and could fly.

If anyone inquires carefully, they will know that the place where the incident occurred was Liuzhou City.

This room,

Mu Hansheng searched carefully in Liuzhou City and searched for many days to no avail, but all the news came to an abrupt end, as if there were no traces of the couple left in this world.

Mu Hansheng thought that it would be difficult to find it, but he never thought that the hope Yingluo brought him would be in vain.

He stood on the road in Liuzhou, his ears filled with the penetrating cries of vendors, and his brows furrowed.

The Mu Jiajun who followed behind them looked at each other in confusion. However, they had to obey the instructions and go to a nearby noodle shop to eat first.

Mu Hansheng hadn't eaten for a day, but he didn't feel hungry at all. He could only follow the memory of the last time and went to the pawn shop where he had been.

It was still deserted. The shopkeeper had a bitter look on his face and was doing calculations with his fingers. When he heard the footsteps, he raised his head and looked at Mu Hansheng.

His eyes widened at that moment, and he hurriedly stepped forward: "You must be General Mu!"

As he said that, he looked up and down, and before Mu Hansheng could say anything, he had already decided in his heart that he suddenly stood in awe: "I was just looking for you!"

As he spoke, he said in a loud voice: "The woman who sold the necklace before came here again not long ago."

After hearing the news about Lin'an, he paid Mu Hansheng's attention!

This sentence made Mu Hansheng froze in place and forgot to breathe for a moment.

The surprise came so quickly, making him excited and unbelievable.

"What makes you happy is that the woman is dressed in rags and has patches all over her body, which shows that her life is not going well. She brought a pair of gold bracelets to pawn this time, saying that the family is really struggling to make ends meet and can't even afford porridge.

"

"Look at this pair of bracelets."

With that said, he went into the back room and hurriedly took out the extremely tight bracelet wrapped in cotton cloth.

The gold bracelet is delicate and small.

Mu Hansheng trembled and touched the inner core of the bracelet with his fingertips. He felt an uneven mark.

The old lady went to the gold shop to get it for Jiao Jiao, and asked the craftsman to carve a curved moon shape on it.

Not bad, not bad, nothing wrong.

Mu Hansheng's eyes flashed brightly: "I have always had to register the identity of the pawner one by one when pawning items. In case there is no mistake, sir, can you tell me where the woman lives?"

The shopkeeper was very enthusiastic: "That's natural. The woman is from Mingyang Village outside Liuzhou City. Her husband's surname is Pan."

Mu Hansheng left all the money on his body, left the pawn shop, got on his horse, and did not dare to waste a moment.

The shopkeeper looked at his leaving figure and felt amused.

"Wait a minute, hey, I gave you too much money!"

Mingyang Village is an extremely poor village with only a few scattered households, overgrown with weeds and surrounded by mountains.

A yard with a broken fence, the ground is uneven, and dust will rise everywhere when you step on it.

The tall and thin man had a sad look on his face, sitting on the threshold, looking worriedly at the sallow-faced woman not far away: "Is your method really feasible? But that is the general's mansion! If we know that you and I are trying to make money, we will die.

"

The woman had a mean look on her face, and her eyes were full of small thoughts: "You have no courage, you coward! You don't have the luxury to enjoy wealth and wealth!"

Back then, when they were in a drug store, they saw a couple with a half-dead girl, and they took the opportunity to steal the pair of bracelets.

I had a secret in my heart, so naturally I didn’t dare to sell it? So much so that I hid it until today. Isn’t it just an opportunity?

The woman giggled: "The shopkeeper is just stupid. He talks to everyone about the affairs of the General's Mansion. Eleven years have passed. He remembers what happened back then, and he still remembers the appearance of the people back then. So what if he confuses right and wrong?"
