The princess has super powers and space, so what's wrong with being a little arrogant?

Mu Xiyue's lips curled up into a smile, which looked very pitiful under the moonlight.

"Father, there were more than a dozen assassins in our courtyard. You said that you and the Second Madam were dead at this time. Could the officials think that it was the assassins who killed you? I have asked the servants in the mansion to report the case to the government office. There should be people on duty in the government office. I think they would not dare to neglect such a serious matter as the assassins in the Anyuan Marquis's mansion!"

Mu Xiyue turned and left, leaving Mu Fengnian stunned. How on earth had his daughter been able to practice martial arts in the countryside without anyone noticing? And why hadn't the secret guard he'd sent to keep an eye on her returned to report? Had she also killed him?

Mu Fengnian didn't dare to go to Mu Xiyue's yard alone, for fear that Mu Xiyue would kill him too. Judging from her expression just now, she must have doubted him.

The servant who went out to report the case was very lucky. He happened to meet a night patrol officer. When he heard that there was an assassin in Anyuan Marquis' Mansion who wanted to kill the eldest daughter, no one dared to neglect it. He immediately sent one person to Jingzhao Mansion to find the commander on duty, and the others followed the servant to Anyuan Marquis' Mansion to check the scene.

Mu Xiyue and Xiaotao didn't change their clothes. The yard was small, and the killer's blood splattered all over their bodies and faces during the fight. They looked like two demons walking out of hell. No wonder Mu Xiyue went to the front yard and everyone who saw her was scared.

When the yamen runners arrived, they saw two women covered in blood standing in the yard, with corpses scattered all over the ground and blood splattered all over the yard.

Chun Ya stumbled out of the room and opened the door. Seeing the yamen runners in the yard and the dead body on the ground, her legs went limp and she knelt on the ground.

Xiao Tao walked over to help her, but Chun Ya took a few steps back, then felt something was wrong. Her eyes were red and she asked in a trembling voice, "Sister Xiao Tao, Miss, are you, are you injured?"

Xiaotao comforted her and told her not to be afraid.

Soon, the leader of the yamen runners arrived, and only then did they begin to examine the corpse and inquire about the situation.

Mu Xiyue and Xiaotao told the story truthfully, and Chun Ya also told what she saw. Chun Ya really heard the noise, but she didn't dare to open the door when she heard the fighting. She peeked through the crack of the door and saw Xiaotao swinging a sword and killing someone, and she fainted from fright.

Mu Xiyue asked the yamen runners if they could tell where these assassins came from. The yamen runner leader said, "Miss Mu, we can't tell where these bodies came from just by looking at them. We need to take the bodies back. We will inform the Marquis of any subsequent progress."

Mu Xiyue glanced at Mu Fengnian and Liu Mei'er, who was huddled behind him and shivering. "In that case, thank you all for your hard work. You have to make this trip in the middle of the night. Father, please have someone wash away all the bloodstains in my yard! Oh, by the way, father should be more alert when he goes to bed at night. If an assassin runs into your yard at any time, your skills will probably not be able to stop so many killers."

After everyone left, Xiao Tao asked Mu Xiyue, "Miss, who could be trying to assassinate you? We haven't offended anyone. Could it be Princess Qinyang, or that guy who wins or loses?"

"Shao Shuyi, it shouldn't be them. These people don't look like martial arts assassins. It's unlikely that a young lady like Shao Shuying would send out such experts. Although Princess Qinyang is a little bit clueless, Xiao Yibai should have told the virtuous king about what happened before. The virtuous king will not let his daughter stand up for others and harm the people Xiao Yibai cares about."

When Mu Xiyue went to the front yard, she thought that these two people were impossible. Even Mu Xiyu didn't think so. If Mu Xiyu could mobilize so many masters, she would have taken action long ago. The only possibility would be Mu Fengnian and Liu Meir.

Xiao Tao was furious after hearing Mu Xiyue's analysis. "The master is going too far. You are his daughter after all. How could he have the heart to do this to you?"

Mu Xiyue had no father-daughter feelings for Mu Fengnian, not to mention that Mu Fengnian had attacked her again and again. If she didn't give Mu Fengnian some return gifts, she would feel that her life had been in vain.

The next day, four servants came to Mu Xiyue's yard to clean the bloodstains for her. Mu Xiyue asked Chun Ya to go somewhere else and let the four servants clean it up themselves. She then took Xiao Tao out.

She had to go to the farm and take a look. She wondered what the farm looked like.

The carriage was stopped halfway, and Qi Yun came over to ask Mu Xiyue to get on Xiao Yibai's carriage.

Mu Xiyue got off her carriage and walked to Xiao Yibai's carriage. "Didn't you go to court today?"

Xiao Yibai stuck his head out of the car. "After three days of court meetings, you have one day off. Today is a day off. I heard that there was an assassin in your courtyard last night. Are you injured? Where are you going?"

Mu Xiyue felt warm in her heart and smiled, "I'm fine. You know my skills. These people can't hurt me at all. Yesterday I took back my mother's shop and farm, and I want to go to the farm today to take a look."

Xiao Yibai ordered the coachman to go to the manor that Mu Xiyue mentioned, and then asked her if there were any suspicious candidates for the assassination.

Mu Xiyue explained to him in detail what had happened in the past two days. "So I think the most likely person is Mu Fengnian. He knows very well that I am not someone he can control. Even if I was poisoned by him, I am still not someone he can control."

Xiao Yibai was silent for a moment and then said, "Do you have any candidates to replace the shopkeepers of your four shops? If you trust them, ask Uncle Fu to transfer a few people from the shops under my name to you."

Mu Xiyue's eyes lit up. "Sure, but if I transfer the people from your shop, will you be unable to take care of your side?"

"Not really. If a shop can't run without one person, then the shopkeeper can quit his job." Xiao Yibai said confidently.

Mu Xiyue had only been in Shangjing City for a little over a month and didn't have any trusted personnel, so she accepted Xiao Yibai's kindness. Wouldn't it be foolish not to use a relationship that could be leveraged?

When Mu Xiyue arrived at the manor, she realized that her manor was only about five miles away from Xiao Yibai's manor. This manor was also built on the mountain, but there was no lake or waterfall in it. There was only a small stream at the foot of the mountain, which was also the water source of this manor.

The mountain here is the same mountain next to his village, called Qi Yu Mountain. There is a folk story that thousands of years ago, there were two immortals, one named Qi and the other named Yu. The two immortals fought and cut off half of this mountain. Therefore, this mountain that stretches for more than 20 miles has vertical cliffs on the east side. Later, people called this mountain Qi Yu Mountain.

The suburban villages here are basically built against the mountain walls, and there is a village almost every few miles.

Mu Xiyue's farm covers an area of about 35 acres, with four courtyards built in it. The main courtyard is larger, and the other three courtyards are not big. Two are for living, one is used as a warehouse, and there is also a row of twelve houses for hired farmers.
