What should we do about this?

Putting aside the fact that the general is a woman, the second young lady's behavior will also damage the general's reputation.

However, the general was also the commander of an army, and he had a sister who eloped with the enemy.

What if it escalates again, and all sorts of rumors arise?

Hearing Fan Hua's worries, Mu Qingyou couldn't help but frown.

She herself had made a mistake; she hadn't expected Mu Qingwan to have this trick up her sleeve. She had thought that by controlling Mu Qingwan's money, she would have controlled her hands and feet.

I never expected her to have this trick up her sleeve.

"Spread the word that the second young lady is critically ill... Hold a funeral and find a similar body for burial."

"Yes!!"

Fan Hua could only nod after hearing Mu Qingyou's words.

This is the only thing we can do now.

We can't let anyone know that our second young lady eloped with someone—it's such a shameful thing.

Because the girl had died young and was never married, Mu Qingwan held a small funeral and buried her in a place with good feng shui.

However, this matter still spread throughout Twilight Snow City.

However, with Mu Qingyou's swift and decisive actions, killing several people, the rumors subsided somewhat.

Just then, Mu Qingyou received a letter from the Eighth Prince.

As she read the contents of the letter, Mu Qingyou's lips curled up slightly.

Having greeted the Eighth Prince and lined up in their respective groups, only Mu Qingwan remained.

The person who could have been easily crushed in his hand was now facing immense difficulty.

Mu Qingyou was also feeling depressed.

"General, Mr. Dongfang is here."

Fan Hua's voice came from outside the door, and Mu Qingyou quickly put away the letter in her hand.

He looked helplessly at Dongfang Jibai, who was barging in.

"The east is already bright!! This is my study. I may be reviewing official business. It's not right for you to barge in like this."

Mu Qingyou spoke to him seriously.

"Oh!"

Dongfang Jibai responded and sat down to the side, but there was no trace of shame on his face.

Mu Qingyou was speechless for a moment. She waved her hand and dismissed Fan Hua.

"What are you doing here again!?"

Mu Qingyou stared at Dongfang Jibai.

"We're on the same path!!"

"When the east turns white," said Dongfang Jibai.

"..."

Seeing that he suddenly became serious, Mu Qingyou naturally didn't think that his words had no other meaning.

“I am also one of the Eighth Prince’s men.”

Dongfang Jibai said with a smile.

When Mu Qingyou heard him say that, she was slightly taken aback, but then returned to normal.

How could she know that he wasn't setting a trap for her?

Seeing that she was still hiding something, Dongfang Jibai stretched out his slender fingers, holding a jade pendant on them.

The jade pendant was a rare piece of red fragmented jade, about the size of a thumbnail. Under the sunlight, it did not have the luster of jade, but rather the dazzling brilliance of a gemstone.

Mu Qingyou had no choice but to believe him at this point; she also believed him.

At that moment, she took out the letter from the drawer and poured out a similar jade pendant from it.

The Eighth Prince said that only his trusted confidants would possess this jade pendant.

Dongfang Jibai found her appearance amusing. "I'm telling you, I haven't even managed to win you over yet, and you've already submitted. It makes me feel quite unaccomplished!"

"..."

Hearing his words, Mu Qingyou was also stunned.

She had always thought that the Eighth Prince hadn't come looking for her, but it turned out he was using Dongfang Jibai to find her.
