After putting on her night clothes, Hua Mujiao took out something similar to a concealed weapon from her backpack and placed it on her body. Afterwards, she tossed her backpack under the bed and left the room in a light manner.

Although she did not know the exact location of the Treasure Vault, she had obtained a general idea of the location from the pearl.

It was rare for her to find the location of the treasure. She wanted to find out where the treasure was waiting to get to know it better than blindly searching for it.

After leaving the laundry room, Hua Mujiao used her movement technique and did her best to avoid the guards patrolling the area. It took her more than two hours to find the exact location of the Treasure Vault.

Looking at the heavily guarded Treasure Vault, Hua Mu Jin had a headache.

Looking around, there was only one spot. Maybe she could use her own qinggong to sneak in. But now was not the time to take the risk.

After pondering for a long time, Hua Mujie returned to the laundry room.

The next day.

The mama, who was in charge of the household, looked at the palace maid with a piece of cloth hanging off her arm and asked, "What's going on?"

The Palace Mistress avoided his gaze, wryly smiling as she replied, "It's nothing, I accidentally fell last night."

She sized up the palace maid. Clearly, this mama was aware of the inside story and had only failed to expose her. Be careful, there is still a lot of work to be done. You must know that the people in this palace whose hands and feet are not clean are the ones who can't bear it the most! "

With that, the mama walked over to Hua Mujiao's side. "Hua Mujiao, come with me. Empress Xuanyan is looking for you."

Frowning, Hua Mujiao was puzzled at first, but then her eyes suddenly lit up as she stood up and followed the mama out of the laundry.

In a separate room in the laundry room, Mu Qiu sat by the table, drinking tea brewed by the palace maids. When he saw Hua Mu Jin enter with the mama, he excitedly took Hua Mu Jin's hand.

"Big Sister Jin, you're finally here." You've been through a lot here these days, haven't you? You've lost a lot of weight already. "

The Senior Servant hadn't retreated yet, but Hua Mu Jin gave an embarrassed smile. "Isn't it better to be thinner? Oh right, why are you here? "

Mu Qiu turned his head to look at the mama. "You may leave. I have something to say to Hua Mujiao alone." Cherry, you go down and watch the door. Without my order, no one is allowed to come near. "

"Yes, Empress!"

After the mama and Cherry left, Mu Qiu pulled Hua Mu Jin to the table and sat down. Looking at the withered flower hibiscus, he felt some heartache. Then, his face darkened.

"Big Sister Jin, there's something I have to tell you."

Seeing Mu Qiu's dark expression, Hua Mu Jin nodded and asked, "What's the matter?"

The day before yesterday, Cherry had unintentionally met Xia Ha Xue and her maidservants, and overheard them talking about the imperial concubine's jade hairpin. Cherry had also heard that Xia Ha Xue had bribed several members of the laundry department to kill you, so I was worried about you, and …

As he said this, Mu Qiu suddenly stopped. He looked at Hua Mu Jin's expression and wanted to say something, but hesitated.

"Go ahead."

Hua Mu Jin listened calmly, not a single ripple appearing on his face.

Seeing this, Mu Qiu opened his mouth and continued speaking.

"From what Xia Ha Xue said, you aren't the biological daughter of Lord Shang Shu, and getting rid of you is also his meaning …"

Hearing this, Hua Mu Jin sniggered, while Mu Qiu felt a little guilty.

"Elder sister Jin, I …"

"I'm fine, I guess I can guess. Did Xia Haoxue mention anything about my mother? "

Suddenly, Hua Mujiao spoke up to interrupt Mu Qiu. With regards to the matter of not being Xiahou's biological daughter, she appeared very calm.

After all, the word 'father' didn't exist in her memories.

Seeing that Hua Mu Jin was surprisingly calm, Mu Qiu shook his head. "That's not true, but if you trust me, Big Sister Jin, I'll do my best to help you investigate."

"Mu Qiu, thank you."

With regards to Mu Qiu, Hua Mujiao was truly very grateful.

"Elder sister Jin, you're being a stranger. You know that I can't stay here for too long, remember to be careful of those court ladies." "Also, Big Sister Jin, if you want to clear the charges, I think you can start with Xia Ha Xue's maidservants."

Nodding, Hua Mujiao smiled sincerely, "I know what to do now."
