When Mu Fengnian arrived, he saw a strange scene. Two people were standing by the yard wall with fear on their faces. Mu Xiyue and Xiaotao were sitting in the yard leisurely eating melon seeds. Liu Meir was standing in front of Mu Xiyue holding a handkerchief.

"Yue'er, what's going on? The servants said you arrested your two younger brothers."

Mu Xiyue lazily raised her chin towards Mu Weian and said, "Aren't you just standing there? If there's anything wrong, I can ask your dear wife. Did I say something I didn't take to heart, or did I not tell your wife?"

Mu Fengnian glanced at Liu Mei'er coldly. He knew that this woman loved money. He had specifically reminded her about it, but it seemed that she didn't listen.

It can be said that Liu Mei'er had never seen Mu Fengnian look at her with such eyes. She hurriedly said: "Master, I, I have asked someone to get the banknotes."

Mrs. Li came over jogging. As the nanny that Liu Mei'er trusted the most, she knew how much silver should be given to Mu Xiyue, and it was she who came up with this idea for Liu Mei'er.

Mu Xiyue took the silver note and counted it. It was twenty-eight thousand taels, which was about enough.

"Xiao Tao, let the two young masters go. Tsk tsk, what's the point of the Second Madam doing this? Look how scared my two brothers are, their faces are pale. Okay, let's go back!"

In Mu Fengnian's study, Liu Mei'er was slapped by Mu Fengnian. Liu Mei'er looked at him in disbelief and tears instantly flowed out, "Master, you hit me, you actually hit me for that bitch."

Mu Fengnian slammed his hand on the table. "You still dare to cry? You almost killed your son. Do you know that she is a lunatic? What did I tell you? Don't go after the money in her shop. Did you ignore my words? From now on, don't provoke her again. I have my own plans."

It was the first time that Mu Fengnian got so angry at Liu Mei'er. Even though this Marquis had come out, Liu Mei'er didn't even dare to cry. She stood aside wiping her tears in grievance.

Mu Fengnian turned to his two sons and asked, "What did she do to you? How could you be so scared?"

In Mu Xiyue's yard, he saw the frightened expressions of his two sons, but he didn't see any injuries on their bodies.

Mu Weian was still terrified. "Father, there's a ghost in my eldest sister's yard. Ping'er and I wanted to escape, but we couldn't. When we got to the gate, it was as if we were tied up by something invisible. It dragged us to the wall. This happened several times. In the end, we could only stand against the wall and dared not move. It was really scary."

Mu Weian's words didn't sound false. Mu Fengnian had a gloomy face, and it was unclear what he was thinking. After a long while, he said, "Go and rest. Don't be afraid. As long as you don't provoke your eldest sister, she won't attack you."

After his two sons left, Mu Fengnian called his secret guards, gave them a few instructions, and then waved to Liu Meir.

Liu Mei'er walked to his side, her eyes red and she seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.

Mu Fengnian hugged the person in his arms. He really had feelings for Liu Meir, and he felt heartbroken when he saw her aggrieved look.

"I'll take care of her, don't mess with her. You're fine in every way, but you're a little short-sighted. If she's gone, those things won't be ours anyway. Why are you so anxious? Okay, go get some rest, but let's see if we can accomplish anything tonight."

Mu Fengnian originally wanted to use Mu Xiyue, but now it seems that his daughter is really uncontrollable and will be a disaster if she keeps her. He also doesn't want to wait until Mu Xiyue goes out to take action. The longer the night, the more trouble he will have. It is better to solve the problem as soon as possible.

In the middle of the night, when everything was quiet, more than a dozen figures crept into Mu Xiyue's yard.

Mu Xiyue was a very light sleeper, and the slightest movement would wake her instantly. This was a habit she had developed in her previous life, when she had to sleep with one eye open in a place full of zombies.

She got out of bed, quickly put on a coat, and opened the door. Under the moonlight, there were more than a dozen men in black standing in the yard, and someone had already pushed open Xiaotao's door.

Mu Xiyue raised her hand and wrapped the person at Xiaotao's door with the wind and threw him into the middle of the yard, "Xiaotao, there is an assassin."

Xiaotao was not as alert as Mu Xiyue and only woke up when she heard the shouting.

These dozen people were all very skilled, and the yard was small. Two of them dodged Mu Xiyue's wind restraint, and the palm wind with strong internal force slashed towards Mu Xiyue. Mu Xiyue dodged sideways and threw out a handful of ice needles. The assassin did not expect that Mu Xiyue had hidden weapons, and he threw out one after another, and died with his eyes open.

He drew out the soft sword from his waist, which was a good opportunity to test whether it could kill people easily.

Two soft swords flashed silver in the moonlight. A man in black lying on the roof looked at them in shock. Are these still two women? These are two female devils!

The battle was over in less than two minutes. Mu Xiyue made a light grab towards the roof, and a man in black rolled down from the roof.

The man in black was lying on the ground, looking at Mu Xiyue in horror. He shrank back and suddenly jumped up and attacked Mu Xiyue. Mu Xiyue was prepared. When he jumped up, he swung out a wind blade. The man in black looked down at his stomach that was cut by the wind blade and fell to the ground motionless.

"Xiao Tao, go check on Chun Ya. How come she didn't wake up despite all the noise?"

Xiaotao nodded and pushed open Chunya's door. Chunya was lying on the ground beside the door. It seemed that she heard the noise and was frightened to faint after seeing the situation outside!

Mu Xiyue asked Xiaotao to help Chunya onto the bed. "I'm going to the front gatehouse to find someone to report the case to the government office. There should be someone on duty at night."

The gatekeeper was sitting on the ground by the door and taking a nap. Suddenly he saw Mu Xiyue standing in front of him covered in blood. He was so scared that he screamed.

"Why are you yelling? There's an assassin in my yard. Tell two people to go to the government office and report the crime."

The doorman finally came to his senses from his fright, and kept saying yes. He got up and ran inside to call for help, without even thinking of reporting to Mu Fengnian.

Four servants went out together to report the case. Mu Xiyue took a detour and went to Mu Fengnian's yard. The servant on guard was also startled and stammered that the master was in the lady's room.

When Mu Xiyue arrived at Yaxinyuan, candles were still lit there, as if they were waiting for news.

She had been wondering who was so generous as to send so many people to assassinate her. After thinking about it, she realized that it was either Liu Mei'er or Mu Fengnian. It seemed that the couple were both insiders.

Mu Xiyue kicked the courtyard door open, and a maid who was on guard all night walked out of the outer room. The blood on Mu Xiyue's body was so terrifying under the moonlight that the maid fainted without even a scream.

Mu Fengnian heard the noise, put on a coat and walked out. When he saw Mu Xiyue's appearance, he was so scared that he almost stepped back.

Mu Xiyue smiled strangely, "Father and the Second Madam are really in a good mood. They haven't slept yet so late!"

He knew how powerful the dozen or so masters today were, but he didn't expect Mu Xiyue could still stand there. Did she know?

Mu Fengnian suppressed the fear in his heart and said, "Yue'er, what's wrong with you?"
