"Now there are two more people, right?" the old man's grandson forced himself to be brave.
The little girl nodded foolishly, "Yes."
The old man's grandson: "Then let me ask you again, if I go out, how many people do I have besides you?"
"One." The little girl held up a finger.
The old man's grandson glanced at the little girl's finger and said, "There are currently two people outside. If I go out, I will definitely not have the advantage, so..."
"You have a sword." The little girl desperately wanted the old man's grandson to avenge her.
On the contrary, the moment the old man's grandson heard Mu Anxiao's voice, he had already surrendered. But thinking about his usual status in the little girl's eyes, he thought that if he fled from the battle now, she would definitely look down on him.
Therefore, he thought for a moment, held the sword hilt with one hand and the scabbard with the other, and said, "Actually, this sword of mine... it's rusty. When it dawns, I'll have the servants polish it, and then we can find that guy in this city, okay?"
"I..."
"Do you remember his face?" the old man's grandson interrupted.
The little girl looked determined, "I remember. I've never seen such a scummy person."
"Good, as long as you remember, we..." the old man's grandson said, hesitating.
On the other side of the door, Mu Anxiao, who had been listening to their conversation for a long time, lost patience. "Stop talking, come out."
Hearing this, the old man's grandson's eyes widened, and he shifted his gaze from the little girl's face to the door, "Turns out you're a sissy."
"..." Mu Anxiao was too lazy to argue about her gender at the moment and continued in her original voice, "Only you are manly."
"More manly than you," the old man's grandson said to the door.
Mu Anxiao stared at the motionless mansion door, then looked at the old man who was signaling her, and said, "Since you are more manly than me, come out then. I'd like to see how manly you are."
"Don't think I don't know," the old man's grandson said, patting the door twice. "You've set up a trap."
"There is no trap."
"No trap, then fine," the old man's grandson nodded slightly. "Tell me, how many people do you have?"
"Two."
"Two? When my maid came out just now, you were alone."
Mu Anxiao listened to the old man's grandson's sharp voice, then looked at the old man, and decided not to beat around the bush, but to get straight to the point. "Nonsense, by then, there were already two people, but that person, your maid couldn't see."
Hearing this, the little girl was startled. She then remembered the eerie environment outside just now and Mu Anxiao's arrogant expression. She swallowed and suddenly realized something was wrong.
Immediately, she hunched her shoulders, quickly reached out and grabbed the old man's grandson's arm, and whispered, "Young Master, how about... we just forget about it?"
At the same time, the little girl's words clearly reached Mu Anxiao's ears. "You weren't this scared when you called me scummy, were you?"
The little girl's body stiffened, she shook the old man's grandson's arm forcefully, and said anxiously, "Young Master, let's go back, I don't..."
"Don't be afraid," the old man's grandson calmly observed the situation.
Seeing this, the little girl's expression became tense. "Young Master, ten beggars died last night. Maybe she's here for you. I was wrong just now," she began to sob. "Young Master, I was wrong, I shouldn't have harbored resentment. Let's go, Young Master, Young Master." Saying this, she started crying from fear.
Originally, the old man's grandson was extremely scared, but for some reason, the moment he started talking to Mu Anxiao, the fear that arose in his heart instantly dissipated. Instead, he developed an unprecedented curiosity towards Mu Anxiao.
So, he looked down at the little girl's hand and said, "If I say I'll avenge you, I'll avenge you. Let go."
Listening to the old man's grandson's serious voice, the little girl cried even louder. "Young Master, you're crazy. He must be here to take your life. No, if you leave, what will I do?"
The old man's grandson: "I..."
"I don't want you to go."
Thus, the little girl began to make a fuss.
Mu Anxiao stood outside, listening to the little girl's crying as she persuaded the old man's grandson. She yawned, turned to the old man, and asked, "What should we do?"
The old man glanced at the mansion door, and listening to the little girl's forceful persuasion of her grandson, he said, "Tell the truth."
"How should I say it?"
"You say it," the old man pointed at Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao's mouth twitched when she heard this. She couldn't help but organize the little girl's words in her mind and said, "You stinky girl, don't slander me. I have nothing to do with what happened yesterday. I'm just here to find your young master, and I would never like a girl like you."
However, the moment Mu Anxiao said this, the little girl really stopped crying. Then, still holding the old man's grandson's arm, she said, "You go, I'm magnanimous, let's go."
The old man's grandson looked speechlessly at the little girl, who had stirred up trouble and then tried to mediate, and said, "Let go."
"Young Master..."
"I'd like to see which young master of my family he's looking for."
Mu Anxiao heard the old man's grandson's words clearly and said, "I'm looking for you."
"Let go." The old man's grandson's expression became unexpectedly serious.
At this moment, the little girl, afraid of truly angering the old man's grandson, let go of his hand.
The next second, the old man's grandson glared at the little girl, grasped his sword with one hand, and opened the main door with the other.
The moment the old man's grandson opened the door, Mu Anxiao clenched the wooden stick in her hand. "I'm looking for you."
Seeing Mu Anxiao's stance, the old man's grandson immediately drew his sword and handed the scabbard to the little girl behind him. "Take this."
The little girl dared not look at Mu Anxiao, quickly took the scabbard, and took half a step back.
Then, the old man's grandson turned to look at Mu Anxiao, stepped across the threshold, and settled old scores. "Sissy, you've really got the guts of a leopard to dare to look at my maid."
"Your family's..." Mu Anxiao repeated, pointing the wooden stick towards the old man's grandson. "Your words make it sound like you're very protective of your servants."
"My family's..."
"Don't talk nonsense. If I remember correctly, that girl was the concubine you secretly married behind your wife's back..." Mu Anxiao clicked her tongue twice. "Never mind, I won't say it."
"What do you want to say?"
"You want to hear what I have to say so badly." Mu Anxiao sneered and nodded. "Alright, I'll say it."
"I'd like to see what you can spit out."
"Spit..." Mu Anxiao repeated the word, lowered her eyes, and smiled. "She's the concubine you secretly took behind your wife's back, right?"
"...."
"No comment means consent," Mu Anxiao said, raising her chin.
"...." The old man's grandson frowned, then directly turned to the little girl hiding by the door. "You said it."
"I didn't say it," the little girl shook her head.
"You didn't say it," the old man's grandson continued in a questioning tone. "Then tell me, how did she know?"
