Chapter 33: Being Taken as a Suspect
Mu Chengxi watched as Wen Xin came down the stairs. He wanted to walk towards her, but Wei Manqing grabbed his arm and stopped him.
"Shi Sheng came over early in the morning. She already knows that you're living with a girl in your courtyard, so she doesn't look too happy."
Wei Manqing's voice was extremely soft, but she did not know that Wen Xin's five senses were very good. Every word she said entered Wen Xin's ears.
Mu Chengxi frowned. He thought that his attitude yesterday was already very clear. He did not expect his mother to still want to matchmake Wei Shisheng and him.
"Let's go and see the old madam!" Wen Xin spoke in a cold voice, not participating in the whispering between the mother and son.
The matter between the mother and son had nothing to do with Wen Xin. It could be said that her visit to the Mu family had nothing to do with Mu Chengxi. She had only agreed to Old Madam Zhao's invitation. She did not want to have any entanglements with the Mu family.
When she reached the entrance, Wen Xin put on her down jacket. picked up her backpack, and walked out nonchalantly.
Looking at Wen Xin's back, Mu Chengxi could clearly feel the change in Wen Xin's aura. The little bit of warmth that he had cultivated with great difficulty had been destroyed by his mother's words.
"Mom, I've told you many times that Wei Shisheng has nothing to do with me. Why do you keep making her misunderstand? You'll make her delay herself like this!"
It was not that Mu Chengxi did not know that the Mu family wanted him to be with Wei Shisheng, but he did not share their thoughts.
It was because of this that Mu Chengxi was unwilling to go home, even in the capital!
"Chengxi, the engagement between the two of you can't be changed. Although it hasn't been announced, the things between the two of you have been tacitly approved by the capital. If you do this…"
Mu Chengxi was frustrated. He pulled Wei Manqing's hand away from his arm. His clear eyes darkened and he frowned. "Mom, if you continue to be so persistent, I won't even come back to the capital in the future!"
"Chengxi, you…How did you..." Wei Manqing watched Mu Chengxi leave quickly and sat down on the sofa. She sighed helplessly. Why was he so disobedient?
Wen Xin carried her backpack and walked into the old madam's courtyard alone. At this moment, the old madam's courtyard was filled with people. It was the same scene as last night. All had ugly expressions as if they all felt that the old madam would not be able to make it through the day.
Wen Xin passed by and the people automatically made way for her to enter.
Wen Xin pushed the door open and walked into the living room. A figure rushed over and grabbed Wen Xin's arm forcefully. "It's you! You're the one who poisoned my mother! I've asked the most famous old Chinese doctor in the capital to look at the prescription. Your prescription will kill people!"
"You little girl, you're so vicious. You wanted to kill my mother. The old lady has no enmity with you. Why did you attack the old lady? Who told you to do this?"
Hearing Mu Jinrou's agitated conspiracy theory, Wen Xin's brows furrowed tightly. She swept his gaze across the surroundings and saw two police officers standing not far away.
Wen Xin was not surprised at all that the police had appeared.
Wen Xin looked at the man who stood at the side with a calm expression and furrowed brows. He did not say anything to stop Mu Jinrou.
"You also think that I poisoned the old madam?"
"The truth is that my mother was poisoned. You were the one who prescribed the prescription. I've already invited the most famous traditional Chinese medicine doctor over. He's cooperating with my mother to detoxify the poison. Wait here for a while. Don't worry. If it has nothing to do with you, the Mu family will not frame any good person!"
