Wen Jia raised her hand and patted Mu Tianen's hand, who was still wiping her tears. She stopped crying, but her eyes were red. "We brought your Master and the butler back to Nanyang City."
"When Ah Qing woke up, she almost went crazy. There were ten people living in Yuan Family's mansion. Her grandparents, parents, elder brother, sister, younger brother, and maternal grandparents. In the end, she was the only one who survived. She hated herself for bringing a demon home."
"She wanted to commit suicide several times and was stopped by me. Later, when she found out that the butler had been injured because of her, she slowly calmed down. When the butler recovered, she asked me to sell all of Yuan Family's property for her. She said that she wanted to return to Mount Qingyun. That was Yuan Family's roots and she wanted to live a new life."
The pain flashed through Wen Jia's eyes, and she actually believed it at that time.
"This is all I know."
Mu Tianen lowered her eyes. She listened to her mother and watched her cry. Although she could not say that she had totally experienced Master's pain and her mother's sorrow, she was certain of one thing: Master had not let go. The seven of them would definitely find this Wei Li and untie the knot in Master's heart.
In fact, Wen Jia had already guessed what her daughter wanted to do, but she still asked, "So Sweetie, why do you want to know about it?"
"Mommy, we have to find the murderer and bring justice back to Yuan Family. We have to get rid of the knot in Master's heart." Mu Tianen looked up with a firm gaze.
Wen Jia shed tears again. This time, she was not sad, but gratified. She finally understood clearly that her little daughter still needed her protection and love, but it did not stop her from growing up.
It was just that she had checked it back then and found nothing.
"Sweetie, Mommy knows that you and your senior brothers and sisters want to find the murderer for Ah Qing, but it's very difficult."
"Mommy, we are not afraid of difficulties. Senior brothers and the others have been investigating for a long time. It is time for me to help."
"Alright, Mommy supports you," Wen Jia said with a smile, unable to say anything to strike her down with her daughter's determined look.
Wen Jia thought that perhaps her friend had not given up on finding the murderer, but just did not want her to worry and do it secretly. She didn't come down from Mount Qingyun for so long because she was waiting, waiting for the day when the truth was uncovered.
"Thank you, Mommy," Mu Tianen said, holding her mother's hand.
In the restaurant, although the brother and sister of Mu family were not as impressed as Mu Tianen after hearing the story, it was a very tragic story as their father had said.
After a moment of silence, Mu Tianyu asked, "So, does Tianen ask mom because she wants to find the murderer? The deadline of prosecution has passed, and it is useless to find him."
"The prosecution period is just an approach," Mu Tianheng said coldly.
Mu Tianyu understood the meaning behind the elder brother's words and did not refute him. Instead, she stood up and left. She would not interfere in this matter.
Mu Zongwen looked worriedly in the Back garden's direction.
"Dad, didn't you help Yuan Family investigate it back then?"
"Your mother was confused by Yuan Qing's decision to return to Mount Qingyun after she stopped hurting herself. But we still sent her back to Mount Qingyun. After all, it's better than her to continue to commit suicide." Mu Zongwen turned his gaze back.
"Your mother wants to find out the truth about Yuan Family being destroyed overnight, but we have no clues except the name Wei Li. We have found nothing after several months of investigation. Later, we have you. I don't want your mother to be too tired and persuade her to give up." Mu Zongwen knew that this choice was selfish, but he did not regret it.
After Mu Tianen accompanied her mother back to her room, she returned to her room. Then she took out her phone and sent a message to the WeChat group of seven people. She also sent a message to Leng Yan and told them the name Wei Li.
At the very least, there was a direction to investigate.
Leng Yan immediately replied and asked Mu Tianen to put her attention on the midterm exam. This matter could not be rushed, they should take it slow.
Then, Mu Tianen put down the cell phone and took out an old pocket watch from Eight Treasure Bag's secret pocket. She opened it. There was a photo in the lid. It was her Master, Yuan Qing, who was holding her.
It was when Mu Tianen was three years old, she cried and said that she missed her mother, so in order to calm her, Yuan Qing hugged her and asked the butler to take a photo. Later, she put the photo in the lid of the pocket watch and gave the watch to her.
In Mu Tianen's heart, Master Yuan Qing was her another mother. She carefully treasured this pocket watch.
Looking at Master in the photo, although her smile was very light, the corners of her mouth were curled up. Mu Tianen murmured, "Master, we will definitely find him."
In Mu Zongwen and Wen Jia's room.
"Isn't it better to say it out loud?" Mu Zongwen asked as he looked at his wife, who had clearly relaxed.
"Well, these things have been hidden in my heart for a long time, and it has become a worry." Wen Jia tilted her head and leaned on her husband's shoulder. "I didn't mention it all these years, and you didn't dare to mention it, right?"
"Yes, I was afraid that you would feel sorry for Yuan Qing again. I was the one who persuaded you to give up." Mu Zongwen also breathed a sigh of relief. This time, if not for his younger daughter mentioning it, he wouldn't have dared to say it.
Wen Jia raised her head and looked at her husband apologetically. "Zongwen, then let us leave the unfinished matter to Sweetie," she said.
Mu Zongwen was in a daze for a moment, then smiled and held his wife's face. "Okay, I will ask Ah Heng to investigate as well."
"There's no need. Sweetie's senior brothers and sisters will also investigate together. They want to find it out for their Master," Wen Jia shook her head.
Mu Zongwen, who had always listened to his wife, nodded. "Your eyes are a little swollen. Go take a shower. I'll get the ice bag."
Wen Jia was in a much better mood and teased, "You dislike me."
"No, you are perfect."
Wen Jia smiled sweetly.
The midterm exams came as scheduled when all the students in the first grade of Haili University were nervous. Except for Mu Tianen, who did everything as normal. After school, she was the first one who stood up and left.
After three days of examination, everyone's tense nerves slowly relaxed.
Mu Tianen stood up from her seat and stretched. Then, she turned her head and asked Qiu Ziyi, "Ziyi, are you free later?"
"What's wrong?" Qiu Ziyi asked as she tidied up her stuff.
"We have to celebrate the completion of the exam." Mu Tianen sat down excitedly, "The restaurant that Brother Yan and I went to that day was very delicious. It was just a little spicy, but the spicier it was, the better it was."
Thinking of the delicious food from that day, Mu Tianen could not help but swallow her saliva.
"Sure, I will be working part-time tomorrow." Qiu Ziyi nodded.
"Very good, my driver is here. Let's go." Mu Tianen clapped her hands happily.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Mu Tianen and Qiu Ziyi did not ask for a private room. They sat in the hall and ordered the dishes.
"Tianen, how are your exams?" Qiu Ziyi asked.
Mu Tianen answered without thinking and ate a peanut. "Pretty good. However, I write very smoothly except for the English listening. The exams are not difficult."
"Did you not write your listening?" Qiu Ziyi asked in surprise.
"I didn't understand the meaning of everything, so I just casually filled it up. Little Brother Li said he just picked some answer that was pleasing to the eye when he didn't know the answer."
"Does this work?" Qiu Ziyi couldn't help but laugh.
Mu Tianen nodded, "It's better than not filling in the answer. Maybe if lucky enough, I can get some points by accident. I have no problem with the other subjects. I'll learn English listening later slowly."
Originally, she wanted to study English listening properly, but she did not have the mood now.
Qiu Ziyi wanted to say that they could learn together in the future, but she saw a very familiar but surprised person appear in her field of vision. "Tianen, is that Ji Liping?"
"Where?" Mu Tianen turned around.
"The one in the waiter's clothes who is walking towards us with the dishes." Qiu Ziyi was very surprised. She had never thought that the arrogant Ji Liping would become a waitress one day.
"That's her," said Mu Tianen as she fixed his eyes on her.
After Mu Tianen finished speaking, she turned around. She was not interested in knowing why Ji Liping was here. Qiu Ziyi also did not care after being surprised.
However, Ji Liping also saw them, and met Qiu Ziyi's gaze before she looked away from Ji Liping, the vegetables in her hands fell to the ground with a shake of her hand.
"Bang!" The sound was not loud, but because the dish was soup, it splashed on a lot of people and annoyed many guests.
Mu Tianen turned her head again. Ji Liping wanted to apologize, but when she saw Mu Tianen, she did not want her to see her miserable appearance. She turned around and ran away.
This made many guests stunned, and the words they wanted to scold were still stuck in their throats.
Even the waiter and the supervisor were stunned. It took a while for them to react. They apologized and cleaned the ground.
Mu Tianen turned back to look at Qiu Ziyi with a questioning look in her eyes, completely unable to understand why Ji Liping had run away.
"Maybe Ji Liping doesn't want us to see her miserable appearance." Qiu Ziyi thought for a moment.
"Miserable appearance? What's miserable about making a living on her own?" Mu Tianen did not understand and asked, "The pocket money I had when I was a child in Mount Qingyun was earned by me going down the mountain to help the farmer plant rice seeds and vegetables. It was hard but surefooted, and I used it at ease."
Although she had never been short of money since she was a child, Master had taught her when she was very young that it was not easy for her parents to earn money. Only the money earned by herself would she cherish it.
After Fifth Senior Sister went down the mountain, they set up a studio together to do business. Fifth Senior Sister moved the studio to Nanyang City for her.
Hearing this, Qiu Ziyi's heart warmed. Yes, no matter how hard she worked, she would rely on her own hands to support the family she and her mother in.
"Ji Liping was used to living an extravagant life. She enjoyed the pursuit and flattery of many people. There was no need to worry about money. She could get whatever she wants."
"And now she needs to consider how to make the best use of every penny she earned. There is also being ordered around and scolded from time to time. She can't even go to school. The great disparity is like falling from heaven to hell. She is most unwilling to let the people she used to look down on see her like this now."
"So what if I see her? I won't laugh at her." Mu Tianen blinked her large eyes, still not quite understanding.
"It's her who can't accept the current situation, and she bullied us before. She was afraid that we would seize the opportunity to laugh at her," Qiu Ziyi said bluntly.
"Alright." Mu Tianen shrugged, indicating that she still did not know what fun it was to make fun of others.
Just as the dishes were served, Mu Tianen no longer cared about it, she smelled the fragrant dishes and swallowed her saliva. Qiu Ziyi saw this and laughed. She also immediately forgot about Ji Liping.
