Your Highness, please stop chasing me.

Mu Xue breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, saying, "I will definitely come to you if I need your help."

Cang Lin also breathed a sigh of relief. He waited until Ren Yuan was far away before saying, "That clingy person is finally gone!"

Mu Xue watched Ren Yuan's retreating figure, a thoughtful expression on her face.

Cang Lin also stopped his playful mood and looked at Mu Xue, asking, "What? Is there something wrong with this kid?"

Mu Xue slowly shook her head and said uncertainly, "I can't say for sure, but I always feel that he has other purposes for approaching me."

Cang Lin frowned, narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked, "Should I have someone investigate?"

Mu Xue shook her head and turned to Cang Lin, saying, "Let's not talk about Ren Yuan for now. What I'm worried about now is the Jing Prince's Mansion and another connection in the capital."

Now that she knows that Ren Yuan and Young Marquis Shen Ji are at odds, he naturally wouldn't be in cahoots with Regent Ye Shangyuan. Since she has decided to cooperate with Ye Shangyuan, it's best to stay away from Ren Yuan.

Before long, Yoruichi emerged from the cellar.

He was taken aback when he saw Mu Xue still standing in the distance, then quickly walked over and said respectfully, "Fifth Miss, we've already found out."

Mu Xue nodded in acknowledgment.

"It was the sixth young lady of the Mu family who approached him about this matter. He lured another junior guard into participating in it. Mu Jiaojiao herself opened the back door and took you out of the Mu family mansion, heading straight for the Cangmang Mountains. After the deed was done, he became greedy and killed the other person. He then took the silver and went to the capital overnight to gather information," Ye Yi said.

"Did Mo Shijie not know about this at first?" Mu Xue asked.

Yoruichi shook his head and continued, "At first, the Sixth Miss approached him directly, and only later did he report to the Prince of Jing. It was only after the Prince of Jing tacitly approved that he did it."

Mu Xue felt sorrow for the original owner of this body once again. None of the people in Yu Nan City wished her well!

Mu Xue composed herself and handed Ye Yi a fairly large bottle, saying, "Use this to dissolve his corpse."

Yoruichi took the bottle; it was quite heavy, so it must contain liquid.

He looked at Mu Xue with a puzzled expression and asked, "This?"

Mu Xue explained, "This is a newly refined corpse-dissolving water. I thought you would use it often, so I got you a big bottle."

Ye Yi choked up, speechless.

"Thank you, Miss Yoruichi," Yoruichi said.

Cang Lin also looked curiously at the bottle in Ye Yi's hand. He asked Mu Xue, "This sounds pretty useful. I want one too!"

Helpless, Mu Xue took out a smaller bottle and handed it to Cang Lin.

Cang Lin happily pulled Ye Yi back to the cellar to test the effects.

Mu Xue smiled helplessly. She suddenly thought that if Ye Shangyuan saw this, he definitely wouldn't ask for it so directly. What kind of expression would he have?

She was looking at her with a mixture of grievance and expectation. Suddenly, she realized that she was actually thinking of Ye Shangyuan.

Mu Xue shook her head vigorously, muttering to herself, "What am I thinking about? Mu Xue, are you stupid or crazy? How could you think about him? I can't think about him!!" She slapped her cheeks hard with both hands to clear her mind.

When Wang Heping and Susu came over, they saw Mu Xue standing there alone, patting her own face.

With a face full of questions, Su Su asked, "Butler Wang, what is Miss doing over there?"

Wang Heping was also puzzled. He guessed, "Could this be a beauty method that Miss came up with?"

"A beauty method?? Slapping your own face?" SuSu asked in surprise.

"Perhaps they're tapping some useful acupoints," Wang Heping said uncertainly.

Su Su nodded as if she understood, then ran a few steps to Mu Xue's side and asked, "Miss, what are you doing?"

Mu Xue was startled by Su Su's voice. She patted her chest and asked, "Su Su? What brings you here?"

She looked up and saw Wang Heping walking over as well.

Wang Heping bowed respectfully and then said, "Miss, someone from the Mu family has come to invite you to their residence for a chat."

"Oh?" Mu Xue smiled knowingly.

Just then, Ye Yi and Cang Lin came out as well. She said, "I'm going to the Mu residence. It seems we already have news about General Mu."

Cang Lin said, "The news from the Mu family spreads quickly. And you, Xiao Xuexue, this is the last time. It's absolutely not going to happen again!" After saying that, he didn't forget to tap her forehead with his finger.

Mu Xue, rubbing her slightly aching forehead, quickly said, "Okay, okay!"

Yoruichi then said, "Fifth Miss, Liu Yi's body has been cleaned up. Should we send someone to Prince Jing's side next?"

After thinking for a moment, Mu Xue said, "Sending someone over immediately would be too hasty. Mo Shijie isn't stupid, and he wouldn't trust anyone. Let's wait and see."

Yoruichi also thought that Muyuki's analysis made sense.

He felt the bottle in his arms through his clothes, glanced at Mu Xue, and asked, "Fifth Miss's corpse-dissolving water is truly exceptional. I wonder if it's... suitable?"

Mu Xue chuckled and asked, "What? I and the medicine aren't just for free. I'd consider having your prince exchange them for real gold and silver." She'd already arranged this all night.

Yoruichi immediately understood, his face stiffening as he awkwardly scratched his head.

Cang Lin sneered from the side, "You little brat, you think you can just take my little Xuexue's things for free?"

Yoruichi quickly waved her hand and hurriedly explained, "No, no, that's not what I meant. Of course, I should pay the money."

Seeing that Wang Heping and Susu were both there, Cang Lin looked at Susu and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Reporting to my uncle, Granny Kang wants to see Miss, so I came to find her," Su Su said.

"Granny Kang is looking for me? Is there something you need?" Mu Xue asked.

“Granny Kang didn’t say,” Su Su shook her head and said.

"Ye Yi, go contact your prince first and tell him about the Jing Prince's residence. I'll send the medicine over to you once it's ready," Mu Xue instructed.

"Yes." Yoruichi then asked, "Fifth Miss, now that news has arrived from the Mu residence, shall I remain by your side to protect you?"

"Not for now, let's talk about it after we've been to the Mu residence," Mu Xue refused.

She said to Wang Heping, "Tell the people from the Mu residence to go back first. I will go to the Mu residence myself later."

"Yes." Wang Heping glanced at Cang Lin, then hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but didn't.

"Is there anything else?" Cang Lin asked.

"We received a message from over there saying there are a few urgent matters they would like you to handle," Wang Heping said, bowing to Cang Lin.

"Uncle, you can go ahead and do your thing. Yoruichi can help me," Mu Xue said first.

Cang Lin glanced at Ye Yi, his eyes full of calculation.

Yoruichi quickly replied, "Uncle, rest assured, my lord has instructed that everything must be arranged by Miss Wu."

Cang Lin sneered, thinking to himself, "It's your prince who makes people uneasy!"
