After the two returned to the study in the palace, Xiao Yibai asked Mu Xiyue, "Is the other person following you someone from our father's family?"

Mu Xiyue didn't expect that he still remembered this, but how did he know?

"Probably, but that man said the Emperor only asked him to follow me to see what was so different about me. I was afraid he was trying to trick me, maybe he was sent by someone with ulterior motives, so I killed him."

"Well, I'll kill him then." Xiao Yibai suddenly showed a trace of grievance on his face, "Yueyue, who is the man with you?"

"Ah? You mean Tan Tai Hong? I can't reveal his identity. I can only say that he has no ill will towards me at the moment. I'll introduce him to you when the chance arises."

Mu Xiyue told him what happened after they separated. Regarding the Soul-Seeking Pavilion, Mu Xiyue only said one sentence: they would not hunt her down again.

Xiao Yibai went over what Mu Xiyue said in his mind. The Soul-Seeking Pavilion had always been a fight to the death, so why did they stop chasing Mu Xiyue when she got here? And an unidentified man inexplicably appeared beside Mu Xiyue.

"Yueyue, is that Tan Tai Hong from the Soul-Sucking Pavilion?"

Xiao Yibai could guess that Mu Xiyue was not surprised, so he smiled and said, "He is my friend. If he doesn't betray me, he will always be my friend."

Mu Xiyue neither admitted nor denied it. Xiao Yibai understood what Mu Xiyue meant. Tan Taihong was just a friend. "Okay, then I won't ask anymore."

Mu Xiyue had dinner at Prince Jin's Mansion before returning to the mansion she had bought. Xiao Yibai insisted on sending her back, saying that she wanted to get acquainted with the place.

There was not a single servant in the courtyard. It was already dark and there was no light at all inside.

Xiao Yibai couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you buy a few servants? Do you want to ask Uncle Fu to arrange some servants for you tomorrow?"

Mu Xiyue had originally planned to hire some servants as soon as she returned, but she went to Prince Jin's Mansion as soon as she returned today and had no time to add some servants.

"How about you help me find a reliable housekeeper? I'll go to the pawnshop tomorrow and buy a few people. Would you like to come in for a cup of tea? Um, it seems they don't have any tea leaves. I haven't even bought any yet."

Anyway, the shopkeepers of his four shops were all Xiao Yibai's men, so there wouldn't be any more housekeepers. Mu Xiyue might not even realize that she had an inexplicable trust and dependence on him.

Xiao Yibai chuckled, "Okay, you just came back and you must be tired today, so you should rest early. If you need anything, please let me know. I'll be back soon."

The next day, after Mu Xiyue and Xiaotao had breakfast, they thought of going to buy someone first. As soon as they opened the door, they saw Uncle Fu waiting outside with a man who was slightly younger than him.

Mu Xiyue hurriedly let the person in, "Uncle Fu, it's so early, come in quickly."

Uncle Fu bowed to Mu Xiyue and said, "Greetings, Miss Mu. Yesterday, the master asked me to find you a housekeeper. This is my cousin, Li Decheng. He is absolutely reliable. He used to help me manage several farms in the palace."

Li Decheng was also an old man in the palace. He knew that the girl in front of him would be the mistress of the palace in the future. He bowed respectfully to Mu Xiyue and said, "Old servant Li Decheng greets the young lady."

She definitely trusted Xiao Yibai's people, so Mu Xiyue agreed with a smile, "Uncle Cheng, there's no need to be so polite. From now on, I'll have to trouble you to take care of the family affairs. I'm going to the pawnshop to buy a few people, so why don't you go with us to pick some out?"

Li Decheng readily agreed, and Uncle Fu went back after sending the person off.

The three of them went to a pawnshop and bought four maids, four servants, and a middle-aged couple. The middle-aged couple could both cook, so Mu Xiyue planned to put them in the kitchen. Li Decheng had two sons, both of whom worked in Prince Jin's mansion. Mu Xiyue felt relieved to hand over all the affairs of the mansion to Li Decheng and his wife. With Li Decheng and his wife around, the ten servants they bought were more than enough.

In the afternoon, Xiao Yibai came to the house with gifts, "Yueyue, these are my gifts to congratulate you on moving into your new home."

There were six large boxes in the yard. Mu Xiyue rummaged through each box and found ornaments, calligraphy and paintings, as well as jewelry and fabrics.

"Why are you doing so much? If someone doesn't know, they'd think you're proposing a marriage!"

Xiao Yibai smiled and said, "How could the betrothal gift be so small?"

"You've given me things so many times, but I've never given you anything!"

Mu Xiyue felt that she couldn't just accept gifts, but Xiao Yibai was a prince and had seen all kinds of good things. What could he be interested in?

Xiao Yibai said jokingly: "I have everything I need, except a princess. Yueyue marrying into the palace as soon as possible is the best gift for me."

Mu Xiyue rolled her eyes at him and said, "You wish!"

Suddenly I thought of what gift to give him.

"Wait for me here. I'll give you something. You'll probably like it."

Mu Xiyue ran to her dormitory and then entered the space. During the apocalypse, she collected a warehouse of guns and ammunition from a gang. In the apocalypse, superpowers are more effective than firearms in killing zombies. Also, she rarely used guns and her marksmanship was not good, so she had rarely used those firearms.

Mu Xiyue searched around and found a silver pistol, then took out a box and ejected it from the space.

Returning to the main hall, he placed the pistol and bullets in front of Xiao Yibai, "This is for you. This is called a pistol, and these are bullets for a pistol. Don't ask me where I got them."

Xiao Yibai picked up the pistol and looked at it. "How do I use this?"

Mu Xiyue took the gun back, picked up a teacup from the table and pulled him to the yard. Xiaotao and Qiyun were talking under the corridor in the yard. When Xiaotao saw what Mu Xiyue was holding in her hand, she knew what she was going to do. She had only seen Mu Xiyue use it once.

Mu Xiyue placed the teacup on the stone table in the yard, retreated to the corridor, picked up the gun, pointed it at the teacup and pulled the trigger. With a snap, the teacup shattered. She hit the target with one shot at a close distance.

"How is it? This gun has a range of about thirty feet, but my marksmanship is not good. The target is too far away and I can't hit it. I'm too lazy to practice so I've never used this gun."

The range of thirty feet is about the same as that of a bow and arrow, but this gun is small and easy to carry.

Mu Xiyue explained to him again how to use it. Xiao Yibai liked it very much. This kind of weapon was something he had never seen before. Mu Xiyue told him not to ask where she got it, so he didn't ask. One day she would be willing to tell him.

"Thank you, I like it very much."

Xiao Yibai held it in his palm and looked at it again and again, unable to let it go. Just then, a bird flew over the yard. Xiao Yibai looked up and aimed, and with a snap, the bird fell down. The bird probably never thought it would suffer such a cruel blow.

Qi Yun ran over, picked up the bird and took a look. There was a bloody hole in the bird's body. The bullet passed through the bird's body and fell somewhere unknown. This hidden weapon was really powerful.

Xiao Tao was so surprised that she cried out, "Miss, the prince is so powerful that he can even hit this."

Mu Xiyue also gave Xiao Yibai a thumbs up in admiration, "It's really amazing, how powerful is it?"

Xiao Yibai didn't expect that this small gun was so useful, but his aim just now was the bird's head, but he hit the bird's body, so he felt that he still didn't hit it accurately.

"Very good. If this hidden weapon is used on the battlefield, it will definitely cause great damage."

Mu Xiyue didn't expect him to think of this so quickly. "Don't ask me how to make this. I don't know how."

She really doesn't know this. As someone who was forced to live in the end times after graduating from high school, this is not part of her knowledge.
