Your Highness, please stop chasing me.

Mu Xue was listening to Ye Shangyuan and Mu Qinghe's back-and-forth conversation. She hadn't expected Ye Shangyuan to actually keep his word and protect her so much even in someone else's home.

She was listening with great interest, while secretly observing Mu Qinghe, the father of this body.

Seeing that Mu Xue didn't react at all after he finished speaking, Mu Sheng moved closer to her, nudged her shoulder, and said, "Come on, it'll be troublesome if these two start fighting. Say something already!"

Mu Xue was puzzled and asked, "What did I say?"

Mu Sheng was stumped by her question. He repeated what he had just said, "I just said that my older brother had a nightmare just before dawn."

Mu Xue nodded and said, "That's normal. That's how it is when you first suppress the Gu worms."

Mu Sheng put one hand to his forehead and blinked rapidly at Mu Xue.

Finally, just as his eyes were about to twitch, Mu Xue came to her senses.

She feigned surprise and exclaimed in an exaggeratedly loud voice, "Oh dear, I'd better go check it out right away! This could be big or small!"

Seeing that Mu Xue finally understood what he meant, Mu Sheng quickly said, "Yes, yes, come in with me to see my brother."

He turned to Ye Shangyuan and called out, "Your Highness, let's go inside first."

After saying that, he pulled Mu Xue away without even looking at the expressions of the two people behind him.

Mu Qinghe could only force a smile and ask Ye Shangyuan to go first. The two entered the Red Maple Courtyard one after the other.

For the past few days, Mu Feng has been in a daze and sleeping because of the medicine prescribed by Mu Xue.

When Changsheng saw Muxue come in with Musheng, he was first surprised. He pointed at Muxue and mumbled "five five five" for a long time without saying anything more.

Mu Sheng raised his hand and punched him, saying irritably, "What do you mean, 'five five five'? Don't you recognize me?"

Changsheng clutched the spot where he had been hit, muttering under his breath, "No, I was just a little surprised to see Miss Wu."

Mu Sheng, with his sharp ears, heard everything clearly. He turned around and punched her again, asking irritably, "What's so surprising about Xiaoxue going back to her own home?"

Changsheng was beaten until he was grimacing, and he dared not make a sound this time.

Mu Xue went straight to Mu Feng's bedside. By this time, he had already taken his medicine and fallen asleep.

When Ye Shangyuan and Mu Qing came in, they saw Mu Xue with her eyes closed and her brows furrowed as she took Mu Feng's pulse.

Seeing Mu Xue frown, Mu Qinghe also frowned. He and Mu Sheng exchanged a glance, and Mu Sheng shook his head at him.

None of them made a sound to disturb Mu Xue. After about half a cup of tea's time, Mu Xue finally released Mu Feng's wrist.

Her brows remained furrowed as she turned to Changsheng and asked, "Has anyone else come to Young Master Mu's room these past few days? Has anyone gotten close to him?"

Chang Sheng was taken aback by the question. He looked at Mu Qinghe, then at Mu Sheng, and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Mu Qinghe looked at Changsheng and said, "What are you looking at? I'm asking you a question! So say it!"

Changsheng trembled at Mu Qinghe's shout, and stammered, "Replying to Fifth Miss, there is no one else. Apart from the General, only the Second Young Master stayed here all night last night."

“Yes, I went straight to Red Maple Courtyard as soon as I got back last night and stayed by my elder brother’s side the whole time. I didn’t go out at all,” Mu Sheng quickly added.

Mu Xue nodded, then asked, "Chang Sheng, go and bring me the dregs left over from decocting the medicine these past few days."

The others present also realized what was happening. Changsheng hurriedly ran out, found a few packets of dregs, brought them in, and handed them to Muxue.

Mu Xue laid them out on the table, examined them one by one, and finally went back to the oil paper used to wrap the medicine yesterday morning, her gaze lingering on it.

She carefully picked it up, gently brought it close to her nose to sniff, and asked, "Who got the medicine?"

Ye Shangyuan also walked to Mu Xue's side, took the packet of dregs from her hand, and carefully examined it.

He asked, "Has Mumu found the problem?"

Mu Xue nodded and pointed to the dregs of medicine in Ye Shangyuan's hand, saying, "The medicine itself is fine; the problem lies with the paper used to wrap it. Some medicine powder has gotten on it. It won't affect ordinary people, but it's not good for Young Master Mu."

Upon hearing that things weren't going well for Mu Feng, Mu Qinghe hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Then what should we do?"

Mu Xue looked at Mu Qinghe strangely and asked, puzzled, "What do you mean, what should we do? I wasn't here."

Mu Qinghe looked at Mu Xue, not understanding what she meant.

Ye Shangyuan kindly explained, "Mu Mu means that this kind of powder is not very good for Mu Feng, but with Mu Mu here, Mu Feng's current problem is not too serious."

Mu Xue smiled and nodded at Ye Shangyuan.

Ye Shangyuan's expression softened instantly. Mu Sheng thought that if Ye Shangyuan had a tail right now, he would be soaring to the sky!

Mu Qinghe felt his heart was about to give way. He was in a state of constant tension, sometimes relaxed, sometimes tense.

He then asked, "How is Mu Feng doing now?"

"General Mu, don't worry, Young Master Mu is fine. I'll give him acupuncture again in a bit, and then he can stop taking the herbal medicine. He'll be fine after a few days of rest," Mu Xue said nonchalantly.

"Call me Father," Mu Qinghe said with a displeased expression.

“In the past,” Mu Xue said.

"What the hell? I'm your biological father, how can there be any 'in the past' or 'in the past'?" Mu Qinghe immediately bristled upon hearing Mu Xue's words.

Ye Shangyuan blocked Mu Xue, straightened his sleeves, and said to Mu Qinghe, "General Mu, why don't we wait until the eldest young master wakes up and ask him? Mu Mu is indeed no longer the fifth young lady of your Mu family."

"Your Highness, we need to be reasonable! You can't just kick us after we've served our purpose! You were the one who said it in the first place!" Mu Qinghe was so angry with Ye Shangyuan and Mu Xue that she became incoherent.

Fearing that he might say something shocking again, Mu Sheng quickly pulled Mu Qinghe back and said, "Father, now is not the time to talk about this. Let Xiaoxue give my elder brother acupuncture first. My elder brother's matter is more important."

"Bullshit! Your sister is about to be kidnapped? Are you blind?" Mu Qinghe said without restraint when she lost her temper.

"Cough cough," Leng Quan cleared his throat, signaling Mu Sheng to quickly pull Mu Qinghe back.

He had been keeping a low profile, watching the show from the sidelines, but he never expected that General Mu would have such a fiery temper!

He secretly glanced at Ye Shangyuan and saw that he didn't seem unhappy at all. Clearly, he had just been very happy to be soothed by Mu Xue!

Mu Xue was afraid that Mu Qing's words weren't enough, so she added, "I followed Ye Shangyuan willingly. I wasn't kidnapped."

Hearing Mu Xue's words, Mu Sheng no longer wanted to pay attention to the people in the room. He felt that it was normal for him to be saved now.

Mu Qing was so angry that she was about to go forward and confront Ye Shangyuan.

Not content with the minor matter, Ye Shangyuan added, "It's your own fault for failing to handle things properly, which gave me the opportunity to abduct Mu Mu."

Leng Quan suddenly realized that his prince was really tough! He was facing his future father-in-law.

Upon hearing Ye Shangyuan's words, Mu Qinghe suddenly fell silent.

Mu Sheng, who was still trying his best to stop people, was stunned.
