Your Highness, please stop chasing me.

This forest south of the city is vast because it connects to the largest mountain range in the Western Jade Kingdom.

The man in red carried Mu Xue and effortlessly leaped over tree after tree, about 15 minutes later.

From afar, the Hokage could be seen swaying at the south gate of Yu Nan City.

"Alright, I'll leave you here. Little girl, we'll meet again." With that, the man in red placed Mu Xue on a rather conspicuous spot at the edge of the forest.

At this moment, Mu Xue's consciousness had reached its limit, and she could only manage to ask, "Name?"

The man in red was taken aback for a moment, then his exposed red lips curved into a beautiful smile: "Cang Lin, little girl, do you remember?"

"Okay," Mu Xue replied solemnly, but she could no longer hold on and slowly closed her eyes.

I could vaguely hear the commotion and figures moving around coming from the city gate.

Cang Lin disappeared into the shadows of the woods, watching as Mu Xue was taken away by the people who had come to find her. He took a deep look at Mu Xue, then leaped and vanished into the depths of the forest.

"Boss, there seems to be a dark figure over there," a guard called out uncertainly.

"Let's go take a look," said one of the guards who seemed to be the leader.

So, several guards carrying torches approached Mu Xue's location.

"Is that the silly young lady from the General's Mansion?" a short guard asked after bending down to check.

"What? Are you sure?" the guard squad leader asked excitedly.

The fifth young lady of the Duke's mansion has been missing for a whole day. If she can't be found soon, something really bad might have happened.

Speaking of the Duke of Mu, the master of the Duke's Mansion, everyone in Xiyu Kingdom respects and admires him. His title was earned through hard work and real effort. In addition to being the eldest son of the old Duke, he is also a famous general in Xiyu Kingdom who protects the country.

One man against a thousand. That's all there is to it.

In the afternoon, a servant from the Duke's mansion reported that the fifth young lady of the household had gone missing. The government immediately dispatched people to search for her.

Everyone in the city knew that the fifth young lady of the Duke's mansion was mentally challenged, with the intelligence of a five-year-old. However, General Mu and his young masters doted on her, so when the government heard that the fifth young lady had gone missing, they dared not neglect their duties.

"Quickly, Xiao Liu, you're fast on your feet, go tell the prefect that the person has been found." The squad leader quickly gave instructions.

"Okay, I'll go right now." With that, the guard named Xiao Liu turned and ran towards the city gate.

Soon, a commotion arose at the city gate.

"Oh dear, my lady, I've finally found you!" An old woman dressed as a nanny stumbled and ran towards Mu Xue.

Mu Xue frowned. In fact, she had already woken up when the guards came over. Her years of experience as a special forces soldier had given her a high degree of vigilance.

The old woman rushed to Mu Xue's side, approaching cautiously. Seeing Mu Xue's torn clothes and the stains and blood on her face and head, the tension in her heart eased, and she cried out, "My dear lady! You've suffered so much! It's all my fault for not taking good care of you!"

A young maidservant who followed closely behind was also sobbing uncontrollably. "Waaah, Miss, I'm so glad you're alright. Miss, you scared me to death! Waaah!" She even wiped her tears with her sleeve.

"I'm fine." Mu Xue could tell that these two people genuinely cared for her. Since she had decided to live well in place of the original owner, she had to accept everything. She looked at the two people who were crying with snot and tears streaming down their faces, and rubbed their temples, feeling a bit of a headache.

The maids and servants who arrived later surrounded a lady who was about thirty years old and dressed in a gorgeous ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress).

Before she could even get close to Mu Xue, the lady wiped her eyes with a handkerchief: "Thank God, Xue'er, you're alright. May Buddha protect you!"

Without waiting for Mu Xue's reply, he immediately ordered the servants to carry Mu Xue to the carriage behind him.

Before the servants could even step forward, Mu Xue interrupted them, "Granny Kang, help me into the carriage." Her soft, gentle voice was enough to melt anyone's heart.

"Miss, please slow down, let this old servant help you." Without even glancing at the elegantly dressed lady, Kang Mama pushed aside the surrounding servants and, along with her maid, carefully helped Mu Xue to her feet and walk towards the carriage parked not far away.

The group returned to the Duke's mansion in a grand procession.

Before the mansion gates could be properly closed, the elegantly dressed lady at the head of the group said to Granny Kang, "Granny Kang, take good care of Fifth Miss. Oh, my poor child!" After saying this insincerely, she turned and walked towards her own courtyard without looking back. She didn't even glance at Mu Xue.

Inside Yuyue Garden.

"Miss, Doctor Li has arrived. Shall we have him examine your injuries?" Granny Kang stepped forward and asked Mu Xue, who was lying on the bed, in a low voice.

"Mm." Mu Xue nodded. With someone else doing it for her, she wouldn't have to go through the trouble of healing herself.

Doctor Li followed Granny Kang to the bedside and skillfully took Mu Xue's pulse and examined her injuries.

It seems he frequents Mu Xue's Feather Moon Garden.

"This head injury is quite severe!" Doctor Li exclaimed in a low voice in surprise. Despite such a serious injury, this usually delicate young lady hadn't uttered a sound.

"Dr. Li, how serious is it?" Granny Kang asked anxiously after hearing Dr. Li's words.

"Miss, you've really suffered." After saying that, she began to sob softly again.

"I will write a prescription for Miss Wu now. Take this medicine first, and I will come back for a follow-up visit in five days. Also, take good care of Miss Wu these next few days. The wound must not get wet, and she must take her medicine on time," Doctor Li instructed Granny Kang slowly and methodically.

The maid and Granny Kang nodded repeatedly.

The prescription was quickly written and handed to Granny Kang.

Soon only Mu Xue remained in the room. She looked around at the furnishings and realized that the Duke's mansion treated the original owner quite well.

As for who is sincere and who is not, Mu Xue smiled.

The next morning, after having breakfast and taking her medicine, Mu Xue felt that her body had recovered a lot after a night's rest.

Just then, a voice came from inside the courtyard asking, "Is my sister awake?"

Upon hearing the voice, Mu Xue's mind flashed to the face of a pretty young girl. This face bore a striking resemblance to the elegantly dressed Aunt An she had seen yesterday. This was the original owner's illegitimate younger sister—Mu Jiaojiao.

Speaking of this younger sister, Mu Xue secretly complained about the original owner of the body. Such a scheming bitch, she was definitely a black-hearted green tea-flavored white lotus!

The poor original owner, due to his intellectual limitations, mistakenly took Mu Jiaojiao's manipulation as kindness and treated her words as gospel.

This cannot be blamed on the original owner. How could a child with insufficient intelligence possibly see through Mu Jiaojiao's hypocrisy? And her mother, who called herself Madam, has not been seen since returning to the manor yesterday. It is likely that she was just putting on a good show in front of outsiders.

Mu Xue thought to herself, the original owner was truly pitiful, but because the memories she had received were incomplete and there were still many clues that had not been investigated, these people were all people who deserved to die in Mu Xue's eyes, and she could not touch them yet.

However, since she's come to us, we should give her a big gift. Otherwise, we'd feel bad just letting Mu Jiaojiao go like this.

Mu Xue has never been one to suffer losses.

"Sister, you're awake! Mother and I were so worried about you." The voice could be heard even before the person arrived.

She's here, she's here, she's here!

Mu Xue suddenly became excited.

Entering the room was a pretty young girl dressed in a light pink dress, her hair neatly combed into a trendy updo. Her face was heavily made up, giving her a somewhat gaudy appearance. The gold jewelry she wore was dazzling, almost blinding Mu Xue.
