Chapter 452 Unexpected Gains

After a while, Mu Ziqing appeared at the door.

"Eldest sister, why are you here?" Yan Qianyi was surprised, she didn't expect that the person hiding outside the door would be Mu Ziqing.

Mu Ziqing's hands were clasped together, looking a bit cramped.

"I came here to thank you for speaking for me in front of grandpa just now, but when I saw you talking, I was embarrassed to interrupt, I really didn't mean to eavesdrop, I was about to leave, but I was stopped by Ah Lie. "

After finishing speaking, Mu Ziqing looked at Mu Yunlie timidly.

In her memory, although Ah Lie didn't talk much when she was a child, she always had a bright smile on her face.

See you again more than ten years later, Ah Lie seems to be a different person, the whole person is cold, especially those eyes, which make people dare not look directly at him.

Yan Qianyi said: "It's okay, you don't need to thank me, I just told the truth in front of Grandpa."

She could tell that Mu Ziqing was often bullied by Mu Zixuan, and she didn't dare to say it.

"What did you hear outside just now?" Mu Yunlie looked up at Mu Ziqing.

His voice was cold and his eyes were sharp, causing Mu Ziqing to shrink back in fright, "Ah Lie, you...don't look at me like that, I really didn't mean to listen to you."

Yan Qianyi stepped forward, "Sister, don't be afraid, Ah Lie is always like this, he has no other intentions."

Yan Qianyi's gentle attitude made Mu Ziqing relax a little, and asked, "Why do you want to know about the situation of third uncle's fall that day?"

Mu Yunlie pursed her thin lips tightly and did not answer, her eyes were fixed on Mu Ziqing.

Yan Qianyi explained, "Isn't Ah Lie going to be a father now? I suddenly miss his father very much, so I want to know more about his father's life. He was still young and can't remember many things."

Hearing what Yan Qianyi said, Mu Yunlie's expression softened a little.

He explained it to his grandfather in the same way.

Is this the so-called heart-to-heart relationship?
"Oh." Mu Ziqing nodded, "I... I was at home that day."

A trace of surprise flashed in Yan Qianyi's eyes, "Sister, come in and tell me."

She quickly pulled Mu Ziqing in and closed the door.

Mu Yunlie asked, "Why didn't I hear that you were at home that day?"

He knew that in the Mu family's manor that day, apart from the servants, there were only his father and Mu Chen.

Mu Ziqing said: "I was in dance class that day, but because I was in a bad mood because I thought of my mother, I sneaked back by myself. I was afraid that Aunt Shen would find out, so I hid in the main house."

It was at the main house that Mu Feng fell from the building.

Yan Qianyi quickly asked: "Did sister see anything that day? Or heard something?"

"I was hiding at the time and didn't see anything, but I heard the quarrel between the second uncle and the third uncle, and then I heard a loud bang. At that time, I was too scared to go out. Later I realized that it was... …It was the sound of my third uncle falling from the building."

Mu Yunlie frowned, "What are they arguing about?"

Mu Ziqing recalled for a while, then shook her head and said, "It's been too long, I don't remember, I didn't seem to hear what they were talking about at that time, only the voices of the second uncle and the third uncle."

Yan Qianyi and Mu Yunlie looked at each other.

There was a quarrel, indicating that they had a dispute at that time.

If it was just Mu Feng who wanted to jump off the building, Mu Chen should have persuaded him instead of arguing with someone who wanted to commit suicide.

This is more certain that Mu Feng's fall was related to Mu Chen.

"I remembered!" Mu Ziqing said suddenly, "I remember they always mentioned the word 'Nangong', as if they were talking about something about Second Aunt."

Mu Yunlie frowned.

Their quarrel has something to do with their mother?
"Sister, sit down first." Yan Qianyi pulled Mu Ziqing to sit down, and said softly, "Recall carefully, see if you can remember anything else?"

Mu Ziqing shook her head, "I tried my best to remember, I really only remember these things, and I don't remember anything else."

"I heard from Ah Lie that only the second uncle was there when Dad fell from the building. The second uncle told the family that he was the one who didn't stop him in time. Then why did they quarrel? Are you sure you remember correctly?"

"No, I remember just the sound of arguing, very excited and very loud."

"Then you didn't tell Grandpa about it?"

"No, I was still young at the time, so I didn't think about it that much. Later, when I grew up and recalled it, I realized..." Mu Ziqing hesitated to speak.

"What do you think?" Yan Qianyi asked.

Mu Ziqing got up quickly and said, "It's nothing, I have to go back."

Mu Yunlie stepped in front of Mu Ziqing with gloomy eyes, "Speak clearly!"

Mu Ziqing took a step back in fright.

"Ah Lie!" Yan Qianyi said hastily, "Don't scare the elder sister."

Mu Ziqing held her hand nervously, looked at Yan Qianyi, and said anxiously, "Qianyi, I like you very much, and thank you for speaking for me in front of grandpa just now, Zixuan usually bullies me, I dare not even say it. Just now I heard that you were learning about the third uncle, so I told you, I really don't know anything else. "

Yan Qianyi nodded, "Thank you big sister, I know what you are worried about, do you also think that there is something strange about Ah Lie's father falling from the building?"

Mu Ziqing lowered her head and did not speak.

Yan Qianyi patiently said: "You are willing to tell us that you want to help us, but you are afraid that you will be implicated, right?"

Mu Ziqing still didn't say anything, but nodded hesitantly.

Yan Qianyi took a look at Mu Yunlie, she didn't expect to get something unexpected from Mu Ziqing.

"Sister, don't worry, what you said to me and Ah Lie today, only the three of us know, and we will never let others know."

Mu Yunlie's tone was also softer, "You can trust us."

With Mu Yunlie's words, Mu Ziqing opened his mouth, "Recalling later, I think the second uncle may have lied, because I was sure I heard the quarrel, and I thought about telling my father or grandpa, but I didn't dare……"

As she spoke, Mu Ziqing's voice choked up.

"I'm stupid, I'm not as smart as Zixuan, and I'm likable. Since my mother passed away and Zixuan and her mother moved in, I have become less and less present at home."

"Everyone likes Zixuan more, because she will please people in front of the elders."

"Aunt Shen also warned me that if I don't obey, I will be kicked out of Mu's house."

"Even if I said that I heard the quarrel, no one would believe me. After all, when I remembered something strange, it had been a long time, and everyone believed what the second uncle said."

"I dare not say it at all, and I am afraid that if I say it, it will break the peace at home... I can't imagine what consequences I will face."

"After all, since my mother passed away, there is no one in this family who can protect me."
