Mo Liuyun said, "That's your own business. You can say what you want to say or not. It's none of my concern. I saved you purely by chance." After saying that, he turned and left.

Mo Liuyun was waiting, waiting for Wushuang to say it herself. She wasn't in a hurry; haste makes waste.

Wushuang looked at the porridge on the table. It was dark and she didn't know what it was, but it smelled delicious. So she took a bowl, ladled out a small bowl, took a small spoonful, and put it in her mouth. The porridge was fragrant and melted in her mouth. It was so delicious that she wanted to swallow her tongue. It was a real delicacy. Before she knew it, Wushuang had finished half a pot of porridge.

In Mo Liuyun's room, the master and servant were eating when a soft sound came from outside the courtyard gate. Mo Liuyun opened the door, and the person who had just entered the courtyard was Mo Liujin.

Mo Liuyun beckoned to him and said, "Ajin, come over here and have a meal together."

Mo Liujin quickly took a few steps forward to greet him.

"Sister, you're back."

"Yes, I just got back today. Let's have a meal first. After we finish eating, I'll tell you about your maternal grandparents' affairs. There's no rush, everything's alright now." Seeing Mo Liuyun say this, Mo Liujin didn't say much. Lian'er served him a bowl of congee with preserved egg and lean pork.

She even recommended it, saying, "Young Master, please try the preserved egg and lean pork congee that Miss made. It's so delicious that I want to swallow my tongue!"

Upon hearing this, Mo Liujin picked up a spoon and scooped up a mouthful of water. Her eyes lit up: Just as Lian'er had said, it was indeed delicious, with a light salty taste and the aroma of meat. The preserved egg was smooth, and the porridge was cooked perfectly. Perhaps due to a habit formed since childhood, Mo Liujin ate at a leisurely pace, but still gave her a review: "Sister, this porridge is delicious."

Mo Liuyun picked up another dish for him and said, "If you like it, eat more. Try this dish too." Mo Liujin nodded. About fifteen minutes later, the group finished their meal. Lian'er cleaned up the dishes in the room and then went to Wushuang's room to clean up the dishes and dirty clothes. Lian'er washed the dishes first, then tidied up the kitchen as well. She then fetched water to soak Wushuang's dirty clothes, planning to wash them tomorrow.

Inside the room, Mo Liuyun was talking to Mo Liujin about her maternal grandfather's family affairs. She didn't go into details, but only gave a general overview of the process and the outcome. She was just about to see Mo Liujin out.

Ling'er's voice rang out: "Master, there's an unidentified person approaching outside the courtyard." Mo Liuyun went to the door and had just opened it when, with a 'bang,' the door to the next room suddenly opened. A figure flashed past, leaping over the wall in a few breaths and reaching the courtyard. A muffled groan followed by the sound of something heavy falling to the ground was heard outside. Then, Wushuang carried someone in from outside and threw them into the courtyard. Seeing Mo Liuyun come out, she said, "Miss, I thought they were coming for me, so..."

Mo Liuyun raised her hand to interrupt him, saying, "It shouldn't be. This should be a servant from my household. I'll handle it." Mo Liujin saw a man appear in A Jin's courtyard, who seemed quite skilled in martial arts. He reached out and tugged at Mo Liuyun's sleeve, whispering, "Sister, this person on the ground is a servant from Hua Jin Pavilion." Mo Liuyun understood; he must have followed Mo Liujin. Seeing Mo Liujin staring at Wushuang, she said, "This is Ji Wushuang, Young Master Ji." She then said to Wushuang, "This is my younger brother, Mo Liujin."

Upon hearing this, Wushuang stepped forward to greet him, saying, "Greetings, Young Master Mo."

Mo Liujin said, "Brother Ji, you are too polite."

Mo Liuyun said to Mo Liujin, "Ajin, you go back first. I'll handle this person. Don't worry." Mo Liujin trusted Mo Liuyun completely. Hearing this, he nodded to Mo Liuyun and Wushuang, then turned and walked out of the courtyard.

Mo Liuyun asked Wushuang, "How is your injury?"

Wushuang said, "It's nothing serious now. It's just a superficial injury. It should heal completely in a few days after taking the medicine."

Mo Liuyun said, "That's good. Help me get this person into your room."

Just as Wushuang was about to make a move, Lian'er said, "Young Master Ji, let me do it."

Mo Liuyun and Wushuang were about to speak, suggesting that the person was a bit heavy, or...

Lian'er stepped forward, grabbed the servant's belt, and easily lifted him up with one hand. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought she was lifting a chicken!

Mo Liuyun was also stunned. This girl was too strong! She was like a female warrior. She looked small and weak and couldn't take care of herself, but she could easily lift a man weighing over 100 pounds!

Wushuang followed behind Mo Liuyun and asked, "Miss, has Lian'er learned martial arts?"

Mo Liuyun thought for a moment and shook his head, saying, "It shouldn't be, he's just strong."

The three entered Wushuang's room. Mo Liuyun fed the servant some medicine, then lifted his chin. The servant swallowed the medicine. Mo Liuyun then took out a jade pendant from his robes and instructed Lian'er to splash cold water on the servant to wake him up. After waking up, the servant stared blankly and remained silent. Mo Liuyun placed the pendant in front of him and gently swayed it from side to side. The servant stared at the pendant. Mo Liuyun said, "You are very sleepy and tired now. Close your eyes, relax slowly, and rest for a while." The servant slowly closed his eyes again, as if he had fallen asleep.

Mo Liuyun asked, "What did you see while you were following the young master today?"

“I saw the eldest young master enter the west wing and then go into the eldest young lady’s room.”

"What did you hear?" Mo Liuyun asked again.

"It was too far away; I couldn't hear anything."

"Who sent you?"

"Aunt Caiyun, who serves the Second Madam."

Listen to me now: "You followed the young master but found nothing. He only stood outside the courtyard for a while before leaving. Then, on your way back, you accidentally tripped and fell!"

The servant then repeated after Mo Liuyun, "I followed the young master today but didn't find anything. He stood outside the courtyard for a while and then left. On my way back, I accidentally tripped and fell!"

After the servant read it twice, he completely fell asleep, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep. Mo Liuyun said to Lian'er beside him, "Lian'er, take him out of here, find a corner or a rockery, and pretend he's asleep!"

"Yes, Miss." With that, she picked up the man and left the courtyard. Only Wushuang and Mo Liuyun remained in the room.

Wushuang was once again taken aback by Mo Liuyun, so shocked that he couldn't speak. Seeing his surprised expression, as if he wanted to ask but dared not, Mo Liuyun asked, "What's wrong? Is there something you want to ask?"

Wushuang asked, "Miss, what kind of magic did you just use?"

Mo Liuyun said, "No, it's just a trivial skill, called hypnosis."

Wushuang asked, "What is hypnosis?"

Mo Liuyun thought for a moment and said, "Then I wonder if you have ever heard of the Soul-Capturing Technique?"
