Treasure identifying Golden Finger

Looking at Madame Mu, who was barely held down by five or six servants, Jiang Yanran withdrew her gaze and looked at Mu Lian, the housekeeper in front of her.    

    

"Then... can I ask how Master Mu... died?"    

    

She pretended to be casual and casually asked the steward, Mu Lian, such a question.    

    

"Our head of the Mu Clan died because..."    

    

"Uncle Mu, what's going on?"    

    

Butler Mu Lian was halfway through his words when he heard a clear and slightly anxious voice from behind him.    

    

Everyone turned their heads and saw a young and gentle-looking girl walking towards the main entrance of the Mu Clan. When she saw what was happening in the courtyard, she couldn't help but frown.    

    

"What are you doing? Let go of Lady Mu!"    

    

With that, she hurried over to Mrs Mu, who had been released by the servants, and embraced her. She patted her gently on the back and comforted her.    

    

"Mother, it's alright. I'm back, Mother..."    

    

Apparently, her voice was like magic. It actually calmed down the crazy Lady Mu. Lady Mu was leaning on the girl's shoulder at the moment. She seemed to be tired. She didn't say a word and didn't move a bit!    

    

"Miss, when you went out this morning, Madame... Madame fell ill! She insisted on going out to buy things and meet the master of the house. No matter how we tried to persuade her, it didn't work. Look... she even broke everything! We... We had no other choice! "    

    

The steward, Mu Lian, explained to the girl awkwardly.    

    

"Let her smash things. You can't stop her from moving!"    

    

The girl was still very angry. Her tone was full of blame when she spoke to the steward.    

    

"It's not that we don't want Madame to smash things, it's that she has thrown them out of the courtyard, and some dangerous weapons have nearly injured the passers-by! These were all seen by the prefectural guards who were passing by the Mu residence, and they all came to check on us, so... that's why we had to restrain Madame, and stop her from smashing things, for fear of hurting innocent people...."    

    

Mu Lian, the butler, explained pitifully to the girl. As he explained, he looked at Faang Cheng and the other three people standing at the side, indicating for the girl to look over.    

    

At this moment, the girl holding Mrs. Mu seemed to have just noticed that there were other people in the courtyard who did not belong to the Mu Family. She immediately followed the butler's gaze and looked at Faang Cheng and the others. When she saw their uniforms, she could not help but be slightly stunned. For a moment, she did not know what to say.    

    

"This must be the current head of the Shogunate, Miss Mu!"    

    

When Jiang Yanran saw this, she understood the identity of the lady in front of her. So she looked at Lady Mu who was looking at her and spoke slowly!    

    

"That's right. You are..."    

    

Miss Mu looked at Jiang Yanran. She must have thought that Jiang Yanran was a young lady and was not sure of her identity!    

    

"Jiang Yanran, a member of the City Patrol Team!"    

    

"He Huan!"    

    

Obviously, Jiang Yanran and He Huan had a tacit understanding. When Jiang Yanran introduced herself, He Huan would also introduce himself subconsciously!    

    

"Oh... so you are really the lord of the City Patrol Team!"    

    

When Miss Mu heard Jiang Yanran and He Huan's introduction, she seemed a little unnatural. She smiled and nodded, then lowered her head to look at her mother, who was supporting her. Only then did she slowly speak.    

    

"I know that mother's previous actions were indeed inappropriate, and it is very easy for unnecessary danger to occur! But, my mother, she is not herself, she is not herself, she does not know what she is doing, she does not know what she is doing, she does not know what she is doing, she does not know what she is doing, she does not know what she is doing, she does not know what she is doing, she does not know what she is doing, she does not know what she is doing, she does not know what she is doing. I promise that I will never let my mother do such a dangerous thing again! "    

    

Miss Mu's tone was filled with sadness. Her father had passed away, her mother had gone mad, and she was the only one left to support the Mu Family. She was already very tired!    

    

Listening to Miss Mu's words, Jiang Yanran could tell from her tone that it was not easy for her, and her voice became gentler.    

    

"It's really hard for a young lady like you to support such a family! However, we still have some things that we want to ask! We are city guards after all. Please forgive us!"    

    

Jiang Yanran looked into Miss Mu's eyes and said softly.    

    

"Ah, alright! Feel free to ask!"    

    

Miss Mu gently nodded and agreed with Jiang Yanran's question.    

    

"Then I would like to ask, when and why did your father die?"    

    

Jiang Yanran asked directly!    

    

"Ah?"    

    

Hearing Jiang Yanran's question, Miss Mu was stunned for a moment, as if she did not expect that she would ask such a question.    

    

"Does this have anything to do with what happened today?"    

    

Miss Mu felt a little unnatural and looked at Jiang Yanran strangely.    

    

"Why... does it have nothing to do with you?"    

    

Jiang Yanran did not avoid Miss Mu's gaze, and looked directly at Mrs. Mu, who was being supported by Miss Mu's hands. Her meaning was clear: "If it were not for your father's death, would your mother have gone mad?"    

    

"Ah... okay!"    

    

Miss Mu instantly understood what Jiang Yanran meant. Seeing that Jiang Yanran's tone and expression were firm, she could only nod and answer.    

    

"My father... died while he was giving money to my mother!"    

    

She murmured.    

    

Jiang Yanran looked at Miss Mu with a blank face! Miss Mu seemed to have not said anything. Jiang Yanran and the others still did not know the real cause of death of the Mu Family Head.    

    

"Accident? Injury? Or disease?"    

    

She asked again.    

    

"Hu!"    

    

Hearing Jiang Yanran's question, Miss Mu let out a long breath and slowly opened her mouth!    

    

"That day, my mother found a few good poker players and went to the tea house to play cards. She probably lost a lot, so she sent the servant back to the Mu Mansion to inform my father to send her some money! My father took some silver ingots and went out. Not long after, he was found lying at the entrance of the alley, dead! When the doctor who came to see my father saw him, he said that my father had suffered no physical injuries, that he had not been poisoned by the silver needles, and that no internal bleeding had occurred. However... the doctor said that my father's expression was extremely ugly at that time. He held his chest tightly with both hands, as if he had just quarreled with someone and was angry! So..."    

    

Miss Mu lowered her head to look at her mother who was still leaning on her shoulder and did not continue.
