The princess has super powers and space, so what's wrong with being a little arrogant?
Chapter 85 Different from ordinary people
Mu Xiyue started out hiding in a small alley to set off lightning, and then she mingled with the crowd of onlookers, setting off lightning while listening to people gossip. Listening to the people talking about the Marquis' Mansion being punished by being struck by lightning, she felt much better. However, this was certainly not enough. Before killing Mu Fengnian, she would not let Mu Fengnian live comfortably.
Even though the thunder had stopped, more and more people gathered around. Mu Xiyue and Xiaotao left the crowd and returned to the art gallery.
When Qi Feng received the news, the crowd in front of Anyuan Hou Mansion had already dispersed. He was really curious about how Miss Mu attracted the thunder from the sky. He didn't believe that Anyuan Hou Mansion was really punished by heaven.
Mu Xiyue was not surprised that Qi Feng came to the art gallery. She smiled and said, "Qi Feng, what do you think? Is my method more interesting than reporting it to the police?"
Although Qi Feng has a cold personality, he has a strong desire for knowledge. "Miss Mu, how did you do it? Could it be that you are really blessed by heaven?"
Mu Xiyue snapped her fingers. "Correct! I was an immortal in my previous life. I made a small mistake in heaven and was banished to the mortal world to gain experience. How could a filthy villain like Mu Fengnian slander me?"
Qi Feng's mouth twitched. Miss Mu was really bold.
Midnight is the time when people are sleeping soundly.
Mu Xiyue climbed over the wall in the back alley of the mansion. She was familiar with the storeroom after having been there once before, but this time there wasn't much in the storeroom. It was true that it had only been less than two months since the storeroom was last emptied, and Mu Xiyu had gotten married in the meantime, so there certainly wasn't much money to be found in the mansion.
Mu Xiyue hadn't expected to make much today, so she took all the few things in the storeroom, just to save them. Then there was the study room. Perhaps because there weren't many valuables in the study, there was only one secret guard outside.
It was easy to get rid of Mu Xiyue's secret guard. There was indeed no valuables in the secret room. However, Mu Xiyue couldn't make a trip in vain. She did not let go of any of the ornaments in the study and the calligraphy and paintings on the wall.
From the study, they went to Mu Fengnian's bedroom. He stayed in Aunt Xu's room that night, which was convenient for Mu Xiyue to search. Mu Fengnian's bedroom also had many valuable ornaments, and Mu Xiyue put them all away. Then they went to Liu Mei'er's courtyard. The small storeroom had only a few items, so naturally, the ornaments in the several rooms were also emptied. Finally, they went to the main hall in the front yard. The main hall was where the Marquis's residence met guests, and the ornaments there were naturally valuable, so it would be a waste not to take them.
After returning to the inn, Xiao Tao stayed in the room without sleeping. She felt relieved only when she saw the young lady coming back.
"Why are you worried? Don't you know my abilities? I didn't gain much today, but I cleared out all the ornaments in several rooms of the mansion. Mu Fengnian might be so angry that he'll vomit blood again tomorrow morning."
Xiao Tao chuckled, "I couldn't sleep without you coming back. I think the old lady's private storehouse must have quite a few good things, and the two concubines must have some things too."
Mu Xiyue shook her head. "Although the two concubines have never shown me any kindness, they have also never done anything to me. Although the old lady hates me very much, she has never done anything to harm me. At most, she did not interfere with Liu Mei'er's plan to send me to the countryside. I will not vent my anger on them. Alas, I still want to buy a house in the city. Otherwise, it would be inconvenient to stay in an inn at night instead of returning to the manor."
On the second day, Mu Xiyue slept until almost noon.
In the lobby on the first floor, Tan Taihong, Xiao Liu, and Xiao Tao were sitting in a corner drinking tea. Seeing Mu Xiyue, they waved at him, "Sister, this way."
Mu Xiyue walked over, picked up the teapot and poured herself a cup of tea, "Why is Brother Hong here?"
Tan Tai Hong waved his hand at the waiter and asked him to bring two plates of snacks.
Then he looked at Mu Xiyue and said, "I came here because I had nothing to do. I never thought there would be such an interesting thing in Shangjing City yesterday. Just tell me if it is your masterpiece. It's not kind of you to let me watch such an interesting thing."
Tan Tai Hong felt that if he had the ability to condense ice with his bare hands, then it would not be unacceptable for him to have the ability to generate thunder. It was a pity that he did not get to see the scene. Xiao Tao described it as spectacular. If he had known, he would have come yesterday.
Mu Xiyue did not deny it, "Brother Hong wants to watch the fun, there will be fun later."
Tan Tai Hong did not continue this topic. There were many guests drinking tea and eating on the first floor of the inn, so it was not appropriate to talk about this here.
The waiter brought over two plates of pastries. Mu Xiyue had just gotten up and hadn't had breakfast yet, so she picked up the pastries and started eating without hesitation.
In the lobby on the first floor, many people were discussing the lightning strike at Anyuan Marquis' Mansion yesterday; even people passing by outside the inn were talking about it.
Most ancient people believed in gods and ghosts. In an incident like this where a person was struck by lightning for a full quarter of an hour, almost everyone believed that someone in Anyuan Marquis's Mansion had done something extremely unscrupulous to attract the thunderbolt.
In the imperial study, the emperor looked at Mu Fengnian, who was kneeling below, and said, "Lord Mu, please stand up and speak! Have you investigated the matter of the thunder?"
Mu Fengnian was frightened by the thunder yesterday. After the thunder disappeared, he ordered people to search inside and outside the mansion, but found nothing unusual.
When I woke up this morning, I was shocked by the theft in the mansion. I hurried to the morning court without even having time to investigate.
Unexpectedly, the Imperial Censor brought up yesterday's thunder incident in the court to impeach him, and also listed the incident of Mu Xiyue severing the father-daughter relationship with him a few days ago and the rumors in the streets in the past two days.
The emperor had heard about the previous events, and he also found yesterday's thunder incident incredible, especially since it was related to Mu Fengnian's eldest daughter, so he kept Mu Fengnian to ask him in detail.
Mu Fengnian thanked the Emperor and stood up to reply, "Your Majesty, the matter of the thunderbolt is indeed as Censor Zhang said. Yesterday, rumors first spread throughout the capital that my eldest daughter, Mu Xiyue, would be struck by lightning. Then, in the evening, thunderbolt descended upon my residence. This must have been intentional. However, after the thunderbolt yesterday, I checked inside and outside the residence and found nothing unusual."
The emperor seemed to be thinking deeply. "Mu Qing, do you think this was done by your eldest daughter? Is your eldest daughter different from ordinary people?"
Mu Fengnian did not dare to hide it, "Your Majesty, I am indeed different from ordinary people."
Mu Fengnian told the story of how Mu Xiyu's palm was burnt by lightning, Liu Meir's arm was frozen, and Mu Xiyue's wound healed quickly.
He also found out that Mu Xiyue was extremely strong when she was in the countryside and she also talked about the time when she hunted wild boars. In short, Mu Xiyue's abilities were very unreasonable.
Because Xiao Yibai liked Mu Xiyue, the emperor had originally thought that even though Mu Xiyue had lost her status as the eldest daughter of Anyuan Hou Mansion, if Xiao Yibai still liked her, he would let him take her into the mansion as a concubine. But now it seems that this woman is too weird, so Xiao Yibai has to give up the idea.
The emperor waved his hand and asked Mu Fengnian to leave, and then called the Divine Shadow Guard to investigate Mu Xiyue in detail.
Following the news brought back by Xiao Yibai's Qilin Guard, Mu Xiyue had the ability to use her true qi to heal people, but the emperor was still skeptical about Mu Fengnian's words. After all, these were too unbelievable.
The Emperor had already investigated Mu Xiyue's affairs in the countryside, and most of the previous incidents involving her were known. Only the burning of Mu Xiyu's palm by lightning, the freezing of Liu Mei'er's arm, the rapid healing of Mu Xiyue's wound, and yesterday's thunderbolt incident required further investigation to determine if they were indeed related to her.
