"I can't help but be pessimistic," said the first guard rabbit, his mouth caved in. "Things like this have happened before, there are precedents."
Mu Anxiao didn't know how to comfort the first guard rabbit when she saw her like this. After a moment of thought, she said, "I see."
"See what?" the first guard rabbit asked, her mouth still caved in.
"That maid rabbit must have seen you with me," Mu Anxiao said, a flash of inspiration striking her.
"How do you know?" the first guard rabbit questioned.
"How do I know?" Mu Anxiao pointed to herself, smiled, and asked, "Before that, did you have any interaction with that maid rabbit?"
"Never," the first guard rabbit shook her head slightly.
"Then it's only natural. She can only start from your recent affairs," Mu Anxiao analyzed.
The first guard rabbit thought about Mu Anxiao's words and said, "Hmm, you make sense."
"I do, don't I?" Mu Anxiao smiled.
"Well, if you put it that way," the first guard rabbit looked at Mu Anxiao with a cautious expression, "you've caused trouble for me."
"Me?" Mu Anxiao pointed to herself.
The first guard rabbit nodded firmly and said, "Yes, it's you. If you hadn't come, I would have been fine. So," she raised her hand to wipe her nose, then directly grabbed Mu Anxiao's arm with the same hand, "you have to help me."
"Um," Mu Anxiao looked at the first guard rabbit's hand, which was clinging to her arm, with disgust and said, "Could you please let go of my arm?"
"No," the first guard rabbit shook her head.
"You..." Mu Anxiao closed her eyes in exasperation. "Your hand has snot on it."
Upon hearing this, the first guard rabbit immediately reacted, took her hand away, and then wiped it on her side before saying, "Please."
Mu Anxiao stared at her snot-stained sleeve and said, "I can help you, but you have to wash my clothes when you get back."
"No problem," the first guard rabbit agreed immediately.
"Wait for me here," Mu Anxiao said, walking around the first guard rabbit and heading towards the rabbit queen's room.
The first guard rabbit watched Mu Anxiao's retreating back and said, "I believe in you," as she clenched her fist.
Soon, Mu Anxiao arrived at the rabbit queen's door, took a moment to gather herself, and deliberately called out, "Open the door."
Inside, the first maid rabbit was startled and asked, "Queen, this?" pointing to the door.
"It's Mu Anxiao, open it," the rabbit queen said, still sitting on the couch.
The first maid rabbit nodded, turned, and opened the door. Mu Anxiao suddenly reached out and pushed the first maid rabbit to the ground, stepped over the threshold, and deliberately stepped on her hand. She then walked to the couch and said, "Hand over that rabbit's life to me."
"Who?" the rabbit queen asked.
Mu Anxiao glanced at the first maid rabbit, who was trying to get up, and said, "If you dare to get up, you'll regret it."
However, the first maid rabbit ignored Mu Anxiao and stood up anyway.
Mu Anxiao's eyes widened, and she shouted, "Squat down!"
The rabbit queen covered her ears and said, "She is my rabbit, you have no right to command her."
Mu Anxiao glared fiercely at the first maid rabbit, then let out a cold laugh and turned to the rabbit queen, saying, "Are you rebelling? I am the future wife of Piao."
"You are not yet," the rabbit queen said coldly.
Mu Anxiao sneered, "Indeed. Your face changes faster than flipping through a book. One second you were respectful to me, and the next you're like this. Truly," her face turned cold, "your rabbits are just like you."
"What do you mean by that?" the rabbit queen asked calmly.
"Just now, I caught a dead rabbit outside who came to complain and make a fool of me. Do you know what she told me?" Mu Anxiao's mouth twisted.
"What?" the rabbit queen asked.
Mu Anxiao turned her face and gave a fake smile, then turned back and said, "She said she only listens to you. Hearing that made me angry, so I dragged her away and taught her a lesson. Who knew she still came to complain? I caught her again just now."
"You caught her?" the rabbit queen exclaimed in surprise.
The first maid rabbit's eyes sank, and her heart began to pound with unease.
"Yes, she said her life belonged to you and that she protected herself with demon arts. So I came to find you," Mu Anxiao raised her chin.
"Why are you looking for me?" the rabbit queen asked, feigning ignorance.
"What else would I be looking for you for? Of course, I want you to hand over her life to me and give me a written consent form so I can deal with him," Mu Anxiao turned her face.
After Mu Anxiao finished speaking, the rabbit queen inexplicably smiled, "Do you think I will hand over her life to you?"
"Why wouldn't you?" Mu Anxiao asked, her eyes wide.
The rabbit queen narrowed her eyes slightly the second Mu Anxiao finished speaking and said, "Come back for her life after you've dealt with the rat demon."
"I..." Mu Anxiao pretended to be speechless, licked her lips, and said, "You want me to kill the rat demon? That's not something that can be done in an instant. You need to give me some practice."
"That rabbit is mine," the rabbit queen said.
"You?" Mu Anxiao said, pointing at the rabbit queen, "Fine, then you can wait. I don't have the ability to kill the rat demons directly."
"I'll wait for you," the rabbit queen said indifferently.
Mu Anxiao felt speechless. She put down her hand, turned around, gave the first maid rabbit a fierce glare, and left the room.
Following that, the first maid rabbit, after confirming Mu Anxiao had walked away, slammed the door shut.
"You deliberately wanted to get that girl killed."
Upon hearing this, the first maid rabbit stiffened, slowly turned around, walked to the couch, and knelt, saying, "Your servant knows her mistake."
"In the future, listen clearly before complaining, lest you wrongly accuse my loyal subjects," the rabbit queen said, looking down at the first maid rabbit.
The first maid rabbit trembled and said, "I understand, Queen."
"Get up," the rabbit queen said.
The first maid rabbit nodded slightly, stood up, and returned to the door, her face filled with fear.
The rabbit queen sighed, "Mu Anxiao, what an imaginative fellow."
Hearing this, the first maid rabbit cautiously glanced at the rabbit queen and breathed a sigh of relief.
In the blink of an eye, Mu Anxiao returned to the first guard rabbit, smiling without speaking.
"How did it go?" the first guard rabbit asked, looking at Mu Anxiao with worry.
Mu Anxiao smiled and shook her head.
Seeing Mu Anxiao's expression, the first guard rabbit's mouth caved in, "I'm doomed."
Mu Anxiao looked at the first guard rabbit's rapidly changing emotions, her smile fading as she said helplessly, "It's okay now. You can just go back to guarding your woodshed with peace of mind."
Hearing this, the first guard rabbit stopped looking so dejected and asked, "Really?"
"Don't worry, it's true," Mu Anxiao said, patting the first guard rabbit on the shoulder.
