The old lady was forced to hand over her honorarium under duress.

Li Mu got the money, it was not good to continue to be cross-eyed at her, and her attitude eased up quite a bit.

He said to the old woman, "Since you're being so cooperative, we can keep the act going.

But I'm warning you, don't get any ideas. If I dare to take this job, I have the means to save my life.

If we are all in harmony, we can do our own thing afterward, but if we tear our faces apart, don't blame me for being inhumane."

The old lady hurriedly made assurances, letting Li Mu rest assured that she would greet her mother's family and would not allow them to do something treacherous.

Li Mu continued, "Old lady, I see that you're quite fair for a human being, so there are some things I'll say to you plainly."

The old woman looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"Mr. Li, if you have anything to say please say it to my face, I'm all ears."

Li Mu pretended to say: ''The so-called parties involved are confused, the onlooker is clear, I have nothing to do lately, but I am also secretly helping you to investigate the cause of the death of the Grand Duke.

Old lady, the tragic deaths of your husband and eldest son, and the unknown life and death of your youngest son may all be related to a gongfu.

I am not sure what kind of gongfu that is, but your heart should know it very well.

Think about it, how did your husband get that kind of kung fu that cuts off children and grandchildren, could there be miscreants at work here.

If an outsider was involved, did he practice, and if not, then why didn't he practice?

I can basically conclude now that your eldest son also died from this gongfu, and your youngest son must also be in dire straits.

Think about it, mull it over as a matter of fact, and I'll take my leave."

In fact, Li Mu was just a smooth talker, just to disgust the old lady, and after saying that, he was ready to leave with his companion in a long walk.

Unexpectedly, the old lady called out to him from behind,"Wait, please stay, Mr. Li!"

Reimu turned to look at her.

The old lady said with a grave expression, "Mr. Li, how did you know about the existence of that technique, who told you about it?"

"Old lady, don't doubt my motives, it's not a secret in the Su family that Su's father and son turned into unmanly cripples after practicing that gong method.

Master Su died from going off the deep end, and I'm afraid the cause of your eldest son's death is not as complicated as you think.

Although on the surface, it looks like someone poisoned him.

However, after my investigation, I found that he had been in seclusion for a long time at that time, and no one was able to reach him at all.

The cause of his death was most likely related to that gongfu."

The old lady's face went a little white.

Li Mu continued to fan the flames.

"There were three men in your family, and all of them were killed and cut off, two men died on it, and the youngest son was also killed.

If it was your husband who got the kung fu himself, there is still a heart to it, but if it was given to him by someone else, his heart is punishable."

The old lady's face was no longer bloody at all, and she stumbled backward a few steps and sat on her butt in the chair.

Li Mu continued to be unforgiving.

"Old lady, you've lived longer than I have, and you definitely know better than I do about the darkness under the lamp.

You've always suspected your eldest daughter-in-law of being the murderer, so have you ever considered the possibility that all of this might have been laid out by someone a long time ago."

The old lady murmured, "Mr. Li, what do you think I should do?"

How could Little Brother Li know what to do, but with the words at this point, he could only go along with the thought.

"Old lady, you should have a backup of that gongfu!"

The old lady nodded.

Li Mu suggested, "It's good to have a backup, you can arrange for a beloved person to bring that gongfu to a high ranking person for appraisal.

This high man cannot be associated with any of Su, Han, Gan or Yun.

The identification can be made by telling the other party in detail about the cause and manner of death of your husband and oldest son.

Will the bystanders please carefully screen that gongfu to see if there's anything fishy hidden inside it?

Whom to send and to whom to go, the candidates are for you to decide; I can be of little help, and having said this, I take my leave."

After saying that, he took the people with him and was about to leave.

Looking at Li Mu's departing back, the old lady said quietly.

"My brother and my husband were on a treasure hunt together when they accidentally came across that technique, and when my brother saw that my husband liked it, he gave it to my husband."

Li Mu didn't return his head and said as he walked, ''The plot of a brother-in-law plotting his brother-in-law's family fortune is not common, but it's not uncommon either.

Old lady, hurry up and get an appraisal, maybe you'll solve the case!"

With that, he left the room with the others.

After returning to her residence, the Fifth Princess asked curiously, "Big brother, why did you bring up that merit law, that's not what we discussed before?"

Li Mu smiled and explained, ''It was also my impromptu intention to intentionally disgust the old lady with the matter of the gongfu and stir her up.

That way, the Han family's attention won't be focused on us, and we'll be in a safer position."

Shen Xingyue laughed, ''Brother Mu, perhaps you've hit the nail on the head, I've also been thinking about the issue of gongfu, just that I don't have any solid evidence, which is why I didn't bring it up.

It might be a good move for you to disgust the old lady with the matter of the gongfu, and under close scrutiny, she might actually be able to find something broken."

Li Mu responded, "The Su family's father and son were both practicing that kind of gong method, and as a result, they turned into unmanly eunuchs, and old man Su even died from going off the deep end.

All of this information was told to Old Qian by Yun Wanling.

To be honest, I did have some suspicions after getting this clue, but I was equally unsure if the cause of their deaths was related to the Kung Fu.

I'm saying this today purely to stir up trouble, but I didn't expect that the gongfu was actually related to the Su family's brother-in-law, this matter is a bit interesting."

Shen Xingyue concurred, ''If there really is something wrong with that gongfu, even if the Han family was unintentionally negligent, they still can't explain their initial motives.

The old lady has lost her husband and her son, and if the murderer is even her own brother, she will not be able to stop, so that we are safe instead."

The situation was becoming clearer, and Li Mu felt happy.

He rubbed his hands together and smiled at everyone, "I was just messing around with implications and didn't expect to get an unexpected favor.

Now I'm hoping that there is something wrong with that gongfu, as long as I can sit on this matter, the old lady is bound to be incompatible with the Han family.

The mother's family is no longer close, but if her husband and son are killed one after the other, it is expected that they will never be close again.

If the old lady decided to turn against her in the battlefield, the Han family would be in a state of rest, and there would be hope for the success of Xing Yue's plan.

At that time, I will ask Yun Wanling to have a good chat with her mother-in-law and explain the misunderstanding clearly.

If we can explain what's at stake, we may be able to make a good marriage.

Also, I suspect that this misunderstanding was 80% instigated by the Han family as well.

All the two of them need to do is talk through it, and the fight between them will probably die down, and then we can walk away graciously."

He Xiaoyu questioned, ''Even if the old lady agrees to this marriage, will the Han family be able to let it go?

They should know that Husbandman Qian is an impostor, will they use this handle to threaten the old lady into submission."

"No, they hold the old lady's handles, and the old lady holds theirs, and don't forget that the Han family still owes the Su family three lives.

Once it was confirmed that his brother-in-law had harmed someone, the Han family definitely did not want to make a big deal out of it, otherwise, even if the old lady did not pursue the matter, the Su family would not let the Han family off the hook.

After all, the secret realm was involved, and the Han family dared to kill and take over the property, so how could the Su family endure this bad breath.

That's why it's said that the bamboo pole strikes the wolf with fear at both ends, and with the old lady and the Han family holding each other's handles, the end result is likely to be a compromise."

Shen Xingyue concurred, ''Even if the Han family refuses to compromise, there's nothing they can do.

As long as the old lady recognized that Husbandman Qian was her second son, how much effect could other people's words have.

What's more, these people who are singing the opposite tune are also the ones who killed Su's father and son, so who would believe their words."

A few people were a bit pleased and were in a much more relaxed mood.

Lin Wan said cheerfully, "Still, my husband is resourceful and lucky, haphazardly implicated, he was able to find a way to break the game."

Li Mu said with some complacency, ''It can't be said that I'm implicating nonsense, I've always had my suspicions, and just now I've only taken the opportunity to say it.

Even if I don't say it today, maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after, maybe three or five days from now, sooner or later I'll say it again."

He Xiaoyu asked with some doubts, "How does Yun Wanling know that her father-in-law can't do his best, this doesn't seem too reasonable, right?"

Li Mu spread his hands and responded, "I'm not sure about this, Old Qian, you answer this question."

Husband Qian hastened to explain, "Perhaps her husband's experience led her to believe that her father-in-law should do the same, and even inferred that her brother-in-law was a victim of the same."

The crowd nodded as they felt he had a point.

Li Mu waved his hand and said to everyone, ''Everyone, don't even associate with it, let the old lady find out the truth, let's just wait and see what happens.

Let's get down to business. Come on, come on, let's check the honorarium together and see how the day is going.

Besides, the old lady gave me a bunch of broken stones, I didn't want them, but Zhiqi kept telling me to take them, I'd like to ask, what are those stones?"

Said, took out the pile of stones, dark and shiny, irregularly shaped, with a very smooth surface, kind of like a black crystal stone look.

"These things look like bright coals; what are they good for, robin, and why did you allow the old woman to take these lumps of coal for a gratuity?"

The Fifth Princess explained, ''This is not a lump of coal, this is a world stone, a very expensive kind of gemstone, and a common hard currency in the Divine Realm.

Big brother, in many worlds, you can exchange world stones for anything, these world stones are a great deal of wealth, much more valuable than gold and silver."

Li Mu was overjoyed upon hearing this, "In that case, our future treasure hunting goal will be these world stones?"

"Yes, some secret realms are rich in world stones, let's find a way to find those secret realms and get more world stones, big brother won't have to worry about spending money in the future."

Li Mu was overjoyed and excitedly said yes.

Niangniang splashed a bowl of cold water at the right time and reminded him, "Although the World Stone is good, we can't possibly take too much of it, and it's definitely a liability if we carry too much of it, so you have to think it through."

Li Mu's smile froze a little, his daughter-in-law was right, they had limited manpower and couldn't possibly carry too much material.

Even if the strength is great, and how much luggage can carry, even in the face of the mountains of gold and silver, I think it must also be looking at the ocean, dry eyes, no way.
