To A'ju, having accepted Mu Anxiao's silver, there was no way she could continue her previous arrogance.
Thus, with a reserved expression, she said, "I want to speak with her." She looked at Xiaoyue.
Upon hearing this, Xiaoyue also looked at A'ju and said, "I have nothing to say to you." Her attitude towards A'ju had undergone a complete 180-degree change.
At the same time, Xiaoyue's attitude towards A'ju made Mu Anxiao curious.
A'ju's expression stiffened.
Xiaoyue said, "You know very well what you did to me." As she spoke, she looked down at the silver needle on the ground.
Following Xiaoyue's gaze, Mu Anxiao looked down at the silver needle and thought, what's going on?
A'ju's eyes sank, and she said, "It's nothing, I'll be going now." With that, she turned and left.
Mu Anxiao was also utterly bewildered.
Immediately after A'ju left, Xiaoyue looked at Mu Anxiao and said, "What are you looking at?"
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao snapped back to attention, looked up at Xiaoyue, and asked, "What did she do to you?"
Xiaoyue replied, "That's none of your business." As she spoke, her legs weakened, and she stumbled.
Seeing this, Mu Anxiao was startled, "What's wrong?"
"I'm fine, come in, I'll tell you whatever you want to know," Xiaoyue said, turning around. She had barely taken a step before she collapsed.
Mu Anxiao knew that she had only used her magic to stop Xiaoyue's bleeding, and her condition had not improved. Therefore, seeing Xiaoyue fall now, Mu Anxiao was not as anxious as the first time. Instead, she calmly walked forward, bent down, and took Xiaoyue's arm.
At the same time, Feng Qishi arrived.
Mu Anxiao sensed Feng Qishi's immortal aura and quickly said, "Help."
"Okay," Feng Qishi replied, bending down to help Mu Anxiao.
Instantly, Mu Anxiao walked behind Feng Qishi with Xiaoyue on her back, saying, "Walk slower."
However, Feng Qishi, seeing the urgency of the situation, intended to quicken his pace. To his surprise, Mu Anxiao was not in a hurry at all. He stopped and looked at Mu Anxiao sideways, saying, "Why don't I carry her?" As he spoke, he prepared to step forward.
Unexpectedly, when Mu Anxiao saw him coming, she hurriedly said, "You are a general. If you carry her and someone sees you, you'll have to marry her."
Hearing Mu Anxiao's words, Feng Qishi couldn't help but recall what he had seen. He then swallowed and gave up, "You're very thoughtful."
"Just walk slower," Mu Anxiao said calmly.
Feng Qishi nodded, turned, and walked ahead.
Before long, Mu Anxiao followed Feng Qishi back to outside her room.
Inside the room, Jia and Lou Yi both sensed the presence outside and simultaneously looked at the door. Jia asked, "Who is it?"
Feng Qishi, hearing Jia's wary tone, said, "Open the door."
Upon hearing Feng Qishi's voice, Jia quickly jumped off his chair. Just as he was about to step forward, he suddenly realized he couldn't reach the door latch. He looked at Lou Yi.
Seeing Jia like this, Lou Yi chuckled, stood up, walked gracefully to the door, and opened it.
Immediately, Jia glanced at Mu Anxiao behind Feng Qishi and quickly stepped forward, saying, "Mu Anxiao, why are you dressed like this?" He hadn't noticed the person on Mu Anxiao's back.
Mu Anxiao, panting, said, "Stop the nonsense." As she spoke, she walked past Feng Qishi, who had moved aside, crossed the threshold, looked around, and said, "There's no space left." With that, she walked around Jia to the carpet.
Jia was completely confused.
Lou Yi didn't have time to think and stepped forward to help.
After Feng Qishi closed the door, he looked at the confused Jia and said, "This is a maid from the manor."
"I know she's a maid from the manor, but what's wrong with her?" Jia asked, pointing at Mu Anxiao.
Feng Qishi sighed, "It's a long story." As he spoke, he closed the door and walked forward.
Subsequently, after Mu Anxiao and Lou Yi had settled Xiaoyue, they both stood up.
Lou Yi asked in confusion, "What's wrong with her?"
"She was pricked by a silver needle," Mu Anxiao said, glancing at Lou Yi before shifting her gaze to Feng Qishi's face.
Feng Qishi looked at Mu Anxiao, confused.
All the way, Mu Anxiao had been worried about eavesdroppers, so she hadn't said anything to Feng Qishi. Now that they were back, she relaxed.
Therefore, she said, "You can use the healing spell now."
"Didn't you already heal her?" Feng Qishi exclaimed in surprise.
Mu Anxiao, too lazy to argue with Feng Qishi, stated directly, "I only stopped her bleeding, and my spell is probably wearing off. So, please, heal her wound." As she spoke, she looked down at Xiaoyue, whose condition was not good.
Upon hearing this, Feng Qishi walked to Xiaoyue's side.
Xiaoyue was a maid in the manor, and Feng Qishi naturally did not want to see another tragedy. Therefore, he did not refute Mu Anxiao's words, crouched down, and began to heal Xiaoyue's wound.
Seeing Feng Qishi start, Mu Anxiao stopped talking. She walked to the table, panting, and reached for a teacup. After taking a large gulp of tea, she looked at Jia and asked, "Why are you looking at me?" she frowned slightly.
Jia looked at her earnestly, "Tell me, did something happen?"
Mu Anxiao sat down, glanced at Feng Qishi's back, and then turned to look at Jia, saying, "A maid died."
"What?"
"That maid's death might be related to Ouyang Ye," Mu Anxiao said, looking at Bing'er, who lay on the table. "Ouyang Ye, that's enough." As she spoke, she reached out and held Bing'er's still warm hand, sighing in relief.
Jia asked, "Why isn't this news spread throughout the manor?" He walked to Mu Anxiao's side.
Mu Anxiao replied, "He controlled it. Those people wouldn't dare to speak." As she spoke, her mind began to race.
Jia nodded, then pointed at Mu Anxiao's clothes and asked, "Why are you wearing this?"
"To prevent Ouyang Ye from recognizing me. Although he can't sense my spiritual energy, it's better safe than sorry." As she spoke, Mu Anxiao reached for the teapot again.
Jia remained silent, staring at Mu Anxiao's face.
Subsequently, Mu Anxiao felt something was wrong and turned to look at Jia's face, saying, "Why are you looking at me?"
"What's the situation with that woman?" Jia asked, glancing at Xiaoyue.
Mu Anxiao replied, "She was pricked by a silver needle, and then she became like this."
"Just a needle, and she became like this? That doesn't make sense!" Jia exclaimed excitedly.
Mu Anxiao curled her lips, "It's probably poisoned. Anyway, we can only rely on her now." As she spoke, she looked at Xiaoyue.
Jia became even more confused. "Why do we have to rely on her? By the way, didn't you go out with Gu Yan? Where is Gu Yan?" he asked, his curiosity piqued by everything.
There were too many things for Mu Anxiao to explain, and she sighed repeatedly.
Jia couldn't help but frown.
