Mu Yan and his group rode non-stop all the way, traveling day and night, and finally returned to the capital in the early morning of the fifth day.

As soon as he stepped into the city, Mu Yan frowned slightly, feeling that there seemed to be a lot more soldiers and officers in the city than usual.

Fortunately, Guan Ming and the others were wearing veils. She turned her head and said to them, "Guan Ming, Zhou Shirong, Shen Xiang, the three of you should follow Zhuo Feng to Hua Man Lou to settle down first. I will find a chance to provide you with a new identity."

"Yes, Lord."

The other one is the Mu family villa.

"Break the door for me."

A woman dressed very seductively rushed in with her men in a menacing manner.

Before the Mu family's servants could react, she asked, "Where's Mu Yan? Call her out."

When Shi Ying saw the person in front of her, she was not afraid at all and said contemptuously: "Miss Wang, oh, no, Wang Liangdi, what are you doing? My lady is a princess."

What I meant was that you are now just a prince's concubine, while my young lady is a princess with a title, so you cannot act so presumptuously.

Wang Peiru heard the sarcasm in Shi Ying's words and immediately flew into a rage. She rushed over and raised her hand to slap her hard, "Who the hell are you? How dare you talk to me? So what if she's a princess? If she dares to harbor a fugitive, I'll have the prince write to the emperor tomorrow to demote her to a commoner."

When Ling Yu saw Shi Ying being beaten, he immediately stepped forward and protected her behind him. "Wang Liang Di, be careful with your words. We don't know anything about harboring a fugitive. Don't accuse me without evidence."

Wang Peiru saw another maid appearing and pushed her away with a frown: "What? Is this the rule of your Mu family? Let Mu Yan come out quickly. The third young lady of the Mu family was rescued in the Dali Temple last night. I suspect the suspect is hiding in the Mu family's courtyard."

After hearing this, the two were stunned.

Mu Wan was actually rescued?

Who rescued him?

He was rescued in the Dali Temple which was surrounded by heavy soldiers and officials. Who could be so bold?

Although Ling Yu was a maid, she was a martial artist after all, and she had a kind of aura about her. "Catch the man and seize the stolen goods. Liang Di said that we have a fugitive in the Mu family's courtyard. Please show us the evidence."

Wang Peiru glared at her. Like master, like servant. This maid was as domineering and annoying as Mu Yan.

"Won't I have evidence once I find the person?"

Then he turned the gun and said to the person behind him: "Search!"

"Wait!"

"No search!"

Ling Yu and the other two shouted angrily at the same time, stretching out their arms to stop the crowd.

"I wonder if Liang Di wants to search our Mu family's villa. Is this because of the emperor's order?"

Wang Peiru snorted coldly: "You need the emperor's permission to search a small villa of the Mu family? You guys take yourselves too seriously."

Shi Ying was slapped in the face and was angry. She said directly: "My master is a second-rank official, and my young lady is a princess appointed by the emperor himself. This is our Mu family's villa. You can't just search it whenever you want."

Besides, everyone knows that my young lady has a feud with Mu Wan. If she was in our villa, why would we protect her if we didn’t immediately catch her and hand her over to the authorities?

This Miss Wang must have been kicked in the head by a donkey.

Wang Peiru was furious when she saw Mu Yan's maids speaking rudely to her one by one. She shouted angrily, "Search them and arrest anyone who is blocking the way."

The purpose of her search here was not to find Mu Wan. She knew that Mu Wan would definitely not be here after being rescued. However, she heard from Mu Xue that the bitch Mu Yan suddenly stayed in the villa for several days for no reason, so she thought there must be some secret.

What on earth could make her leave the Mu Mansion and live in the villa?

Or are you using this as an excuse to have a secret meeting with some man?

After Wang Peiru learned about this, she thought more and more that something was wrong, so she took the opportunity of the emperor asking the prince to investigate the kidnapping of Mu Wan to come here to investigate.

If she found out that Mu Yan really had a secret meeting with a man here, she would definitely exaggerate the matter and spread the news widely to ruin Mu Yan's reputation.

"You can't search. You can't search."

Shi Ying and Ling Yu tried to stop everyone, but the more they tried to stop them, the more Wang Peiru felt that her guess was correct, otherwise why would she be so excited.

She looked impatient and waved her hand, "They are really in the way. Tie up these two ignorant maids and beat them to death."

Just two maids dared to block her way.

"Who dares to touch my people!"

A clear voice was heard, and it carried a hint of oppression.

The next second, a bright red figure appeared, her face was extremely beautiful and aggressive.

Ling Yu and Shi Ying were overjoyed: "Miss!"

"Mu Yan!"

Wang Peiru gritted her teeth and her eyes were like knives, wanting to tear the person in front of her into pieces.

Mu Yan walked straight up to Shi Ying, grabbed the wrist of the nanny who was holding her down, and twisted it hard.

"what--"

With a snapping sound, the old lady's wrist seemed to be broken and she rolled on the ground in pain.

Then she looked at Ling Yu with a stern look in her eyes: "Where is your Kung Fu? Why didn't you fight back when others bullied you right at your doorstep?"

Ling Yu received the order, and the next second, she kicked the person who was holding her out.

There was another loud noise.

Mu Yan curled her lips and said calmly: "Next time if you are so cowardly, don't say you are following me."

Ling Yu lowered her head: "I..."

It's not that she didn't dare to take action, but because Wang Peiru was the prince's favorite concubine, she was afraid of causing trouble for Mu Yan.

Mu Yan guessed what she was thinking: "As long as we are right, no matter who the other party is, just fight, and I will take responsibility for anything that happens."

When Wang Peiru saw her people being beaten so badly, she immediately became furious and said, "Mu Yan, how dare you touch anyone from our Prince's Mansion."

"Ah."

Mu Yan snorted lightly, with disdain in her eyes.

"You are just a concubine of the crown prince, yet you dare to search the courtyard of an official appointed by the imperial court without permission. Where do you put the laws of Northern Qi?"

Wang Peiru's cheeks turned red with anger as she kept calling him "concubine".

Ever since she entered the Prince's Mansion, the Prince has doted on her alone. Even the Crown Princess only visited her room on the wedding night. Everyone in the Prince's Mansion flattered her. Although she is only a concubine now, once the Prince ascends the throne, she will definitely be a noble concubine, second only to the Crown Prince.

Some nobles also cling to her at banquets, but none of them are like Mu Yan, who doesn't take her seriously and dares to give her a cold shoulder.

"Mu Wan is a serious criminal of Northern Qi. As the prince's concubine, I naturally have to share the prince's worries and the court's worries and capture the court's wanted criminals."

Wang Peiru's words were convincing and well-founded.

Mu Yan laughed when she heard this. "How did you find our Mu family when you were arresting the imperial criminal? Do you think our Mu family would protect such a cruel criminal? You are slandering the imperial official."

She doesn't care whether the person in front of her is the prince's favorite concubine or the future imperial concubine. She is a person who is soft-hearted and will not tolerate tough tactics. If you provoke me, I will make you pay.

Wang Peiru was speechless and could only stiffen her neck: "Why, are you feeling guilty?"

"Do I need to tell you whether I feel guilty or not? I'm just saying one thing: the person you're looking for is not here. Take your people and get out of here right now."

Mu Yan's words were not polite at all, and Wang Peiru was so angry that her face turned as red as a pig being slaughtered.

"How dare you speak to me like that? You are disrespecting the prince."

Mu Yan glanced at her with contempt, "You are just a concubine, and you dare to represent the prince? Don't embarrass yourself here."

Wang Peiru was filled with anger and ordered her men: "Search for me, search from inside to outside."

Mu Yan had lived in the villa for such a long time for no reason. She didn't believe that she was just doing it on a whim. There must be some dubious man hiding here. The more she refused to let herself search, the more it showed that she had something to hide.

She has decided to search the Mu family villa today!
