This evening's dinner at the Murong family was all organized by Fang Mulan herself. She had warned the concierge in advance that all guests' carriages and horses were not allowed to enter the inner courtyard.In the dark, the found housekeeper Li Caizheng was quietly brought into the house. Murong Qingyi had already made plans to let him identify the murderer in public at the banquet.Unexpectedly, Huo Zongqi ignored the rules and drove straight through the gate of Murong Mansion. The moment the car window rolled down, he recognized Li Cai among the servants at a glance.

Murong Qingyi twirled the wine glass with his fingertips, secretly thinking that he would use Li Cai's mouth to give the Huo family a big gift tonight.But then he thought that once the truth was revealed, Ren Susu would be hunted down by the Huo family if her identity was revealed. The surging hatred in his heart was quietly mixed with a bit of reluctance. Even he couldn't tell whether he hated her more or loved her more.At this moment, in the back kitchen, Fang Mulan was preparing Nanyang-style dishes with her own hands. Murong Qingyi walked up to her, pointed at Li Cai not far away from the window, and whispered to her to take off her disguise as soon as possible and tell everything.

Huo Zongqi stared at Li Cai's back, full of doubts - why did his father's old butler appear at the Murong family's banquet?Li Cai also stared at Fang Mulan for a long time. He always felt that this face looked familiar. He had seen exactly the same features and eyes at the birthday banquet of Huo Mansion in Beicheng.Seeing that his identity was about to be revealed, Fang Mulan secretly handed an old thing to Murong Qingyi, which was the gentian flower.Qingyi's fingertips trembled. It turned out that she had never forgotten every detail of the past, but she had to pretend to be a completely unfamiliar Nanyang daughter.

Suddenly there was a splash on the lake, followed by Fang Mulan's cry for help as she fell into the water.Without thinking, Murong Qingyi jumped into the lake to save people. When he came ashore, he calmly signaled to his men to take Li Cai away from the scene. By the time Li Cai reacted, the vague impression he had just now had been washed away by the cold water. Even he himself was not sure whether the man just now was the murderer.

Murong Qingyi just carried the soaked Fang Mulan back to the bedroom in front of all the guests.After the wet clothes were taken off, she finally took off all disguises and admitted that she was Ren Susu. Her fake death back then was all a helpless act of being forced into a desperate situation.She took out a sharp silver hairpin from the makeup box and handed it to Murong Qingyi's hand, asking him to prick her to vent his hatred, but his hand holding the hairpin trembled for a long time, and finally he could not stab it.He just warned her with a cold face to stay safe, otherwise Li Cai would be sent to the Huo family at any time, and no one would be able to save her by then.

The news reached Huo Minxian's ears. When she learned that Li Cai had appeared, she immediately guessed that this man must be related to the cause of his father's death. She scolded Huo Zongqi on the spot for not taking him back to the Huo family. She also threatened Huo Zongqi with the marriage contract between the two families, forcing him to find Li Cai's whereabouts.When he thought that his father's killer was close at hand, Huo Minxian immediately led people to Murong's house.At that time, the Murong family was worshiping their ancestors in the ancestral hall. Cheng Jinzhi never recognized Mulan as his daughter-in-law and did not even give her the qualifications to introduce her.

Huo Minxian burst into the ancestral hall door with a violent look. Ren Susu hurriedly turned aside to avoid her sight, but Huo Minxian directly called Murong Qingyi's name and forced him to hand over his father's murderer. His words were full of humiliation for his identity as an illegitimate son.Fang Mulan couldn't hold it in any longer, so he stepped forward and slapped her in the face, sternly reprimanding her for being uneducated and insulting the Murong family and their ancestors.Even Murong Qingyu couldn't bear it anymore. He drew a gun and put it in front of Huo Minxian's forehead, saying coldly that the Murong family's ancestral hall did not allow outsiders to run wild.Huo Minxian was so frightened that he trembled all over and insisted that he had a witness. He turned around and called Li Cai to confront him, but found that Li Cai, who had just been hidden in the side hall, had already disappeared.

Afterwards, Murong Qingyi was made to kneel outside the ancestral hall. In front of all the servants, Cheng Jinzhi slammed a bowl of hot soup in front of him. The hot soup splashed on the back of his hands. Every word was a stinging reprimand.Ren Susu stood in the corridor and watched, finally seeing with her own eyes the training he had received at Murong's house since he was a child. Seeing that Cheng Jinzhi was about to take action, she rushed forward without thinking and blocked Murong Qingyi's body with her own body.
