The others, like Feng Qishi, were also looking at the young Mu Anxiao, who had just been slapped, with a confused expression and a frown.
The Wolf Demon asked, "Are they overreacting a bit?" He turned his head to look at Feng Qishi.
Feng Qishi glanced at the Wolf Demon and said, "Aren't you quite intelligent? You still haven't figured out that this is a conspiracy."
The Wolf Demon was taken aback. He inadvertently looked at the smirking housekeeper and others and said, "This was all planned."
"Yes," Feng Qishi nodded.
The young Mu Anxiao looked at her counterpart, who had been slapped, her eyes brimming with tears, but she was helpless!
Lin Yan asked, seeing Mu Anxiao's unfamiliarity with everything, "Were you also hit like this back then?"
"I was hit," Mu Anxiao replied, touching her face. "They pressed my face firmly onto the ground."
"Where is Mu Xi?" Lin Yan asked.
Mu Anxiao, who had been lost in her own tragic past, was jolted by Lin Yan's question. She quickly gathered her tears of self-pity and looked around. "Huh? He's not here, but..." she frowned, "I feel like he's nearby."
"Let's look," Lin Yan said, helping Mu Anxiao search with her gaze.
The Wolf Demon and Feng Qishi weren't looking at them. Instead, their eyes widened in astonishment as they watched the young Mu Anxiao being forcefully held down by the two maids.
The Wolf Demon exclaimed, "This is too much, just over a packet of beef jerky and dried steamed buns."
"It is," Feng Qishi said, clenching his fist, filled with concern for the young Mu Anxiao. "I suddenly feel that it was right for Mu Shazi to meet me."
"It was right to meet me! I awakened her potential. If it weren't for me, she wouldn't have been able to drink immortal blood and become an immortal."
For decades, the Wolf Demon had never so self-consciously brought this up. So, Feng Qishi felt quite awkward hearing him say this. "You have the nerve to say that," he retorted, turning to glare at the Wolf Demon.
"If I hadn't been inside you, igniting your hatred for Mu Anxiao, Mu Anxiao probably wouldn't have grown so quickly," the Wolf Demon continued to praise himself.
Feng Qishi, hearing the Wolf Demon's words, said coldly, "You're just like them."
"Not the same. I am wicked, while they," the Wolf Demon sneered, "are just a bunch of cowards."
Feng Qishi was speechless.
The Wolf Demon smiled victoriously, crossing his arms. "It's still my credit."
What was past is past, and the Wolf Demon had already received his due punishment. Moreover, after returning from the mortal world, he had helped Mu Anxiao many times.
Because of this, Feng Qishi no longer harbored any hatred for the Wolf Demon. Thus, he treated the Wolf Demon's words as mere gossip.
He intended to ignore the Wolf Demon and turned to look at Mu Anxiao, who was looking left and right. "What are you looking for?"
"Mu Xi," Mu Anxiao replied curtly.
Hearing Mu Anxiao's hasty response, Feng Qishi realized that all of Mu Anxiao's relatives were present, except for Mu Xi. He wondered, "Why isn't he here?"
"If he were here, he would have to help the young Mu Anxiao. It wouldn't look good if others saw it," the Wolf Demon said, also beginning to help Mu Anxiao search for Mu Xi.
Meanwhile, the young Mu Anxiao had been pulled up by the two maids. Strangely, she said nothing, quietly watching her parents and siblings.
The woman from the immortal sect asked, "Do you know who I am?"
Upon hearing this, the young Mu Anxiao shifted her gaze to the woman's face and said, "You... are my brother's benefactor."
Mu Xi had interacted frequently with the young Mu Anxiao during this time, sharing everything with her. He had even mentioned that his benefactor would be coming today and had also told the young Mu Anxiao the benefactor's gender. Therefore, seeing the woman before her, she wasn't surprised.
"You know?" the woman from the immortal sect smiled.
Following that, the second servant said, "Madam, if you like this girl, can you let me go?" His lips were torn, and blood flowed from the wound.
The second servant had witnessed the deaths of those two people. At this moment, he feared that the woman would also kill him like she had the others, so he persisted in begging for mercy.
However, he knew in his heart that he wouldn't die!
"You have no right to speak here," the woman said, her gaze piercing the second servant's face.
"Madam," the second servant made one last plea, "ignorance is no crime. Please let me go." He began to cry.
The woman... After the second servant finished speaking, she turned to look at Mu Fu, who was sitting in the armchair. "Sir, ignorance is no crime. What do you think? Shall we let him go?"
Mu Fu glanced at the woman, then at the second servant desperately begging, and said, "Since you are this girl's servant, I shouldn't make things difficult for you. How about this: cut off one of your fingers, what do you say?"
The second servant's eyes widened.
Just then, Lin Yan turned his attention to the second servant's situation. He glanced at Mu Anxiao and asked, "Mu Anxiao, were his fingers cut off?"
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao withdrew her gaze from searching for Mu Xi and turned to look at Lin Yan, who was curious. She hesitated, then looked at the second servant, who was now wailing theatrically, and remembered the second servant eating a chicken drumstick that night. Her eyes widened. "This is a conspiracy."
"They were cut off," Lin Yan said in surprise.
Mu Anxiao looked at Lin Yan and said, "I told you it was a conspiracy, and they still got cut off."
"Huh?"
"This servant," Mu Anxiao stopped searching for Mu Xi and lowered her head, thinking about how the second servant had looked at her not long ago. "His mission is to make me make a mistake."
Lin Yan's mind couldn't quite grasp it. The corner of his mouth twitched. "Uh, I don't quite understand."
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao turned to look at Lin Yan, who was staring at her in confusion. "What I mean is, this was all planned. That servant was released by his master... no, his madam... to act. And the name of that play was 'Framing Me'." She pointed to herself.
"Framing..." After repeating the words a few times, Lin Yan exclaimed excitedly, "He knew you long ago!"
"Yes, think about it," Mu Anxiao leaned her head slightly towards Lin Yan. "Given how I was, how could outsiders possibly recognize who I was? And before, when I went to the front gate, the servants in this mansion treated me like a beggar. Yet, he, an outsider, recognized me instantly. Don't you think that's suspicious?" She raised an eyebrow.
"Suspicious," Lin Yan was completely in sync with Mu Anxiao's train of thought.
"Then tell me, are the injuries on him real?" Feng Qishi, multitasking, overheard Mu Anxiao and Lin Yan's conversation.
