Murong Yunhai, with a sullen face, held a long whip in his hand, trying to pull back the whip that he was holding tightly.

"You evil creature, why don't you let go?" Murong Yunhai's voice was filled with anger that was hard to conceal.

His daughter, Murong Zixi, was usually stupid and foolish, but at this moment, she held the whip tightly, with a cold look in her eyes, as if she had become a different person. Even if a person had returned to normal and was no longer stupid, she had been stupid for nine years, so how could she have such a cold look in her eyes? She really looked like an evil ghost crawling out of the underworld.

Murong Zixi's hands were tightly wrapped around the whip, her fingers turning white from exertion. Her eyes no longer had the stupidity of the past, but were replaced by a cold and fierce look.

She just looked at Murong Yunhai coldly.

Murong Yunhai felt an inexplicable panic in his heart. He had never thought that his daughter, who had been stupid for many years, would have such a look in her eyes. He felt weak for no reason.

"You..." Murong Yunhai felt weak when his daughter, who had been stupid for many years, was seen. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

He tried to pull back the whip again, but found that Murong Zixi was incredibly strong and he couldn't move her at all.

Xiao Qing, the current mistress of the General's Mansion, had just returned from having tea with several ladies today when the maid in the mansion hurried over.

"Madam, the master is getting angry in the backyard!" said the maid breathlessly.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qing walked towards the backyard at a leisurely pace, only to see Murong Yunhai with a flushed face, holding one end of the whip. His eyes were as sharp as knives, shooting straight at the other end of the whip.

This silly girl, now she dares to resist the master? Didn't she not talk back when scolded or hit before? Xiao Qing suppressed the thoughts in his heart and walked over slowly.

"Master, what is this for?" Xiao Qing asked softly.

Murong Yunhai glared at Murong Zixi and said angrily, "It's still this disgraceful thing! Run away and embarrass yourself!"

Xiao Qing stroked Murong Yunhai's back and soothed him softly, "Master, the eldest lady is not sensible, please don't bother with her."

Murong Baixue interrupted and said, "Mom, my elder sister is not stupid anymore. She has returned to normal."

Xiao Qing was shocked when she heard this. She looked at Murong Zixi, and saw that this once foolish young lady now had clear eyes, which was completely different from the past. Although she was confused in her heart, she did not show any expression on her face.

"Ah, is this true?" Xiao Qing pretended to be surprised and said, "The eldest lady has recovered. This is a good thing. Master, please calm down."

Murong Zixi looked at this hypocritical stepmother coldly. She remembered that this woman always pretended to be a loving mother, but in fact she did a lot of things to trip up the original owner.

Now that she has returned to normal, the smile on this woman's face remains unchanged, but there is a barely perceptible hint of coldness in her eyes.

Murong Yunhai was unmoved. He angrily said, "I think she has become even more stupid! She actually chased after a man in broad daylight, and..."

Seeing this, Xiao Qing quickly persuaded, "Master, the eldest lady has just recovered and doesn't know anything about etiquette and shame. Please give her some time and hire a nanny to teach her slowly."

Murong Yunhai snorted and said nothing more, but the anger in his heart did not subside.

Murong Zixi looked at this scene and sneered in her heart. She would avenge the original owner. Those who bullied the original owner would not be able to escape. She was not in a hurry and would take her time. It would not be fun if they were killed all at once. She had to let them feel the suffering that the original owner had endured over the years.

"No need!" Murong Zixi said coldly, and her hand loosened. The whip slipped from Murong Yunhai's hand like a snake that lost control.

Murong Yunhai was caught off guard, staggered back a few steps and almost fell to the ground.

However, Murong Zixi acted as if nothing had happened. She looked calm and walked forward with firm steps.

"Evil girl, stop!" Murong Yunhai's angry roar sounded behind Murong Zixi, but Murong Zixi seemed not to hear it and continued walking forward without looking back.

Her heart was filled with indifference and determination. She chose to ignore Murong Yunhai's roar. She was a cold-hearted person in her previous life, and she didn't expect any family affection.

Murong Zixi walked towards Ziwei Pavilion step by step according to the route she remembered.

Seeing this, Xiao Cui quickly ran up and supported Murong Zixi. Murong Zixi's body stiffened. She was not used to someone being so close to her, so she pulled her hand away and said, "I can walk by myself."

Seeing this, Xiao Cui lowered her head. Why did she feel that the young lady was a little different? Oh! That's right, the young lady has returned to normal, of course she is different from before. Thinking of this, Xiao Cui smiled!

Xiao Qing looked at the backs of Murong Zixi and her servant walking away, her eyes flickering. She turned to look at Murong Yunhai beside her with a look of worry on her face: "Master, the way the young lady looked at us just now was so cold, like... Is there some evil spirit in the young lady's eyes?"

Murong Yunhai frowned slightly when he heard this.

Murong Baixue seemed a little panicked: "Yes, Big Sister looked so scary just now, could there really be something dirty?"

Xiao Qing nodded, as if to confirm her guess. She took a deep breath and said slowly: "There is a Yuchan Temple on Yuding Mountain outside the city. I heard that it is very popular. Many dignitaries go to the Yuchan Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings. I heard that the temple is very effective."

Murong Yunhai's eyes gleamed when he heard this. He pondered for a moment, and finally said, "Three days later, you take a few girls to burn incense and pray for blessings."

"Yes, sir."

Murong Yunhai turned away.

Murong Baixue looked at her mother, and Xiao Qing gave her a look, indicating that she should not ask now.

Murong Zixi returned to Ziwei Pavilion where the original owner lived. As soon as she entered the yard, Nanny Li walked up to her and saw that Murong Zixi was covered with whip wounds, her clothes were torn and stained with blood. She felt heartbroken and said, "Oh, Miss! Who hit you? Why are there whip wounds all over your body?"

Xiao Cui was behind him, her eyes red, and she choked up, "Mammy Li, it was the master who beat the eldest daughter."

"How can there be such a cruel father? He is bullying our eldest daughter because she has lost her mother!"

Murong Zixi was not used to being cared for like this, and she said lightly: "I'm fine."

Upon hearing this, Nanny Li looked at Murong Zixi without blinking. Why did she feel that her eldest lady was different? In the past, every time she got hurt, she would come back and hug her and cry sadly.

Xiao Cui wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said happily: "Madam Li, the eldest lady has returned to normal. She is not stupid anymore."

"What?" Nanny Li looked at Murong Zixi carefully.

Murong Zixi said "hmm" and walked straight towards the room.
