Your Highness, please stop chasing me.

The group was startled once again!

Since Mu Xue knew all this, how could she still endure it for so long!

Cang Lin felt a mix of emotions, and he looked at Mu Xue with a complicated expression.

He never imagined that Mu Xue knew about it. He had only just discovered that Shen Wan's death was suspicious and hadn't even had time to tell Mu Xue yet. He never expected that she would know so early on.

Shi Shu was also taken aback by Mu Xue's answer; she hadn't expected that the Fifth Miss would know.

She murmured, "Fifth Miss, how... how did you..."

"Are you asking how I knew?" Mu Xue asked.

Then, she chuckled and asked in return, "Shishu, you and Bishihua are still a bit lacking in skill! What do you think of the effects of the pills Xiaotao gave you?"

Shi Shu was puzzled as to why Mu Xue was bringing up Shi Hua at this moment, but she still answered honestly, "The medicine is very effective, much better than ordinary decoctions."

"Then do you know that I refined all those pills myself?" Mu Xue asked again.

Shi Shu shook her head, then suddenly stared wide-eyed at Mu Xue.

She was suddenly stunned; she understood!

She looked at Mu Xue in surprise, covered her mouth, and exclaimed, "Fifth Miss, you actually know medicine!"

Mu Xue put her index finger to her lips and said, "Shh, you have to keep it a secret!"

The tone of voice sent a chill down Shi Shu's spine for no apparent reason, even though it was still summer.

She covered her mouth tightly, nodding frantically, tears welling in her eyes, but she dared not let them fall. At this moment, Shi Shu felt that she was more frightening and terrifying than that beast Liu Yi.

Mu Xue took off her outer robe and gently draped it over Shi Shu's shoulders, softly coaxing her, "Go back to the manor with peace of mind. I've taken this person away, and he shouldn't appear before you again. You can rest assured. I'll create the illusion that he's left the city, and no one will suspect you. You and Shi Hua can stay in the Mu manor without worry. She'll know what to do if anything happens."

When Mu Xue's hands approached Shi Shu's, Shi Shu couldn't help but tremble. However, when she smelled the scent on the outer garment, Shi Shu was miraculously calmed down by Mu Xue.

She nodded obediently, stood up, and bowed gracefully to Mu Xue.

Watched by Mu Xue and the others, he returned to the Mu residence, trembling.

The moment the back gate of the Mu residence closed, the calm and gentle smile on Mu Xue's face vanished completely.

She suddenly clenched her fist, spoke fiercely through gritted teeth, and said, "An, Ru, Die, you're really ruthless!!"

Cang Lin broke free from Ye Yi's grasp and rushed to Mu Xue's side, saying fiercely, "You wait, I'm going to rush in and tear that poisonous woman to pieces!!!"

Mu Xue reached out to stop him, her voice icy as she said, "She alone isn't enough. I want her to see everyone around her suffer a terrible death. I want her to pay for her crimes in blood!!"

At this moment, the fierce aura emanating from her was astonishing, causing her long hair to move without wind, startling everyone into silence.

Especially Yoruichi, who was seriously injured and unconscious in the Cangmang Mountains and did not see Mu Xue kill the Fang Beast.

He now saw a fierce aura emanating from Mu Xue, an aura he had never witnessed in any woman other than the Regent.

Cang Lin walked to Mu Xue's side, put his arm around her shoulder, and said, "We'll avenge my sister together! Don't worry, Mu Xue, I won't let any of those who hurt you and my sister get away!!"

"Hmm." A muffled groan sounded, and Mu Xue turned around to look at Liu Yi lying on the ground with a cold gaze.

She said quietly, "Your kick wasn't hard enough." After saying that, she walked up to Liu Yi and, with what seemed like a light kick, kicked Liu Yi so hard that he coughed up a mouthful of blood and passed out completely.

Ren Yuan saw that Mu Xue's seemingly light kick had actually injured Liu Yi's lungs and internal organs.

He scratched his head somewhat awkwardly and asked, "What about him now?"

Mu Hu walked past him and grabbed Liu Yi, asking, "Should we just throw him into the huge pit in the Cangmang Mountains?"

Mu Xue shook her head. Looking at Liu Yi being carried like a dead dog, she turned to Cang Lin and asked, "Uncle, can you make his face?"

Cang Lin immediately realized what was going on and said, "It's a bit disgusting, but it's nothing, no problem."

"But, with his physique, it's hard for anyone to imitate him," Mu Hu said, looking at Liu Yi in his hand with some difficulty.

Cang Lin stroked his chin, glanced at it, and said, "I have people under my command, so leave this matter to me."

“Alright, let’s go back and ask Liu Yi first. He couldn’t possibly have just come to see that maid, could he?” Yoruichi said.

Mu Xue turned around without a word, and before leaving, she looked toward the direction of Furong Garden with eyes full of hatred.

"One day I will shatter you to pieces! An Rudie," Mu Xue said fiercely.

Under the cover of night, the group dragged Liu Yi back to Shenjing Alley.

Mu Hu threw Liu Yi to the ground and asked, "Master, should we wake him up now?"

"It's getting late, let's go and rest first. We can ask again tomorrow." Mu Xue's cold expression had softened, and she had returned to her usual languid self.

The group's mood did not lighten because of Mu Xue's relaxed tone.

Cang Lin looked at Mu Xue with some worry. He took a step forward and was about to speak when Mu Xue interrupted him.

"I know what you want to say. I'm not the Mu Xue I used to be. I can handle everything now. I just want to rest now. When it's dawn, we'll have a good talk with this Liu Yi," Mu Xue said calmly.

Cang Lin nodded and said, "Then you should get some rest."

He turned around to look at the people who had followed him back, and then said, "Ah Hu, go back to the Mu residence."

Mu Hu glanced at Mu Xue, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and said, "Yes, Uncle. I'll come again tomorrow morning?"

Mu Xue said, "No need, just stay at the Mu residence. I'll contact you if anything happens. Ye Yi and Brother Ren are here with me."

Ren Yuan then said, "Don't worry, if Xiaoxue needs to see you, I will go. I'm quite familiar with the Mu residence now."

Ren Yuan picked up Liu Yi and asked, "Where should we lock this person up?"

Mu Xue said coldly, "Butler Wang, lead him to the cellar."

Wang Heping, who had been silently following behind the group, stepped forward and walked to Ren Yuan's side, respectfully saying, "Young Master Ren, please come with me, this way please." After saying that, he led Ren Yuan towards the cellar in the backyard.

Cang Lin followed Ren Yuan away.

Seeing that everyone had left, Ye Yi called out to Mu Xue in a low voice, "Fifth Miss, please wait. The Prince has a message for you."

Mu Xue turned to look at Ye Yi, wondering what message Ye Shangyuan would bring her.

Yoruichi said, "His Highness said there was an urgent report from the capital, and he didn't have time to say goodbye. He looks forward to seeing you again next time."
