Mu Anxiao frowned.
At the same time, Mu Anxiao's eyes lit up and she said, "I've got it. Since she's someone close to Mu Hua, and she always bullies me, I'll use that as a reason to give her a memory."
Jia blinked and said, "That's not right."
Upon hearing this, Mu Anxiao's brow furrowed. She turned to look at Jia, who had suddenly interjected, and asked, "What's not right?"
"This is his room. In her memory, of course, there can only be him and you," Jia chuckled dryly. "Wouldn't that be a case of protesting too much, revealing your own guilt?"
"There's nothing to reveal here anyway," Mu Anxiao said. Suddenly, she remembered the issue they had discussed before crawling under the bed. "Right, you said Mu Xiao's mother could see you." She looked at Jia.
Jia was startled by Mu Anxiao's swift reaction and said, "Yes, why are you suddenly bringing this up?"
"Isn't this the problem you wanted to discuss? Why are you unhappy when I bring it up?" Mu Anxiao said, looking at Jia's smug expression.
"No, I just feel it's a bit sudden, and besides, I still haven't..." He trailed off, then his eyes brightened, and he said excitedly, "You don't think it's related to Mu Xiao's mother, do you?"
"No, it's not."
"Not..." Jia said, a smirk playing on his lips. "Then why are you telling me this?"
"I can't be sure if it's her, but we can try."
"Try?"
"Yes, just follow me in a moment." Mu Anxiao pointed at Jia.
Jia pointed at himself, and in that moment, he felt his own importance and smiled. "Okay, I understand."
"Good that you understand," Mu Anxiao nodded.
Then, Jia added, "Wait, this is his room. You're putting yourself into this girl's memory." He shook his head slightly. "I don't think it's very safe."
"What's not safe?" Mu Anxiao retorted.
Jia: "This is his room. If you appear in her memory, and she then gossips about it, who knows what that Mu Hua might say. Then, you..."
"Let's not worry about me for now. Has she arrived?" Mu Anxiao interrupted.
Jia glanced over and said, "She has."
"Then that's right. Since she's here, I can follow. As for the content," Mu Anxiao snorted, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
"..." Jia felt Mu Anxiao's words made sense, so he fell silent.
Seeing Jia's silence, Mu Anxiao looked at Feng Qishi and said, "I'm starting."
"Go ahead."
"..." Mu Anxiao nodded and began to speak.
A few minutes later.
Mu Anxiao squatted beside Feng Qishi, looking down at the girl lying on the ground, and asked, "Done?"
"If it weren't for helping you, I wouldn't have fabricated such a memory for her," Feng Qishi said softly.
Mu Anxiao reached out and patted Feng Qishi's shoulder, saying, "I'm sorry to trouble you."
Jia looked down at Mu Anxiao, who had deliberately fabricated a pile of false events, and asked, "Is this really okay?"
"What's not okay? It's just that I followed her here, saw her badmouthing me in front of Shen Moyun, framing me, and then I caught her and hit her," Mu Anxiao pointed at Jia. "You're quite a coward."
Jia: "But this never happened. Are you sure..." He glanced at the girl again. "You won't be exposed."
"These are things she 'experienced.' What do I have to fear?" Mu Anxiao said righteously.
Feng Qishi: "Jia, ignore her. From now on, it's her business." Saying that, he stood up.
Upon hearing this, Mu Anxiao looked up at Feng Qishi, who had moved, and asked, "No, what are you doing?"
Feng Qishi looked down intently at Mu Anxiao's face and said, "This is your choice. Next, we should change locations, right?"
"Huh?" Mu Anxiao suddenly didn't quite react.
When Jia heard Feng Qishi's words, he moved aside.
Feng Qishi pointed at the girl.
Mu Anxiao followed Feng Qishi's finger and looked down, saying, "Can't I get some help?"
"No," Feng Qishi refused outright.
Mu Anxiao's expression froze, but she knew this was her decision, so she didn't say anything and pulled the girl up.
Immediately, Mu Anxiao placed the girl in the center of the courtyard, stood up, and said, "It's done." She looked at Feng Qishi, who was standing at the door.
Feng Qishi sighed and cast a spell.
Instantly, a blue light flew in front of the girl's face, then swayed from side to side before darting into her nostrils.
Mu Anxiao watched this scene, swallowed, and prepared herself.
In this regard, Jia became curious again. "Speaking of which, how did she faint?" He looked up at Feng Qishi.
Feng Qishi looked down at Jia, who was standing beside him, and said, "Just watch. Don't ask."
"She..." Jia uttered a word and turned to look at Mu Anxiao, who was beside the girl, saying, "Can she handle it?"
"This is her decision. What can you say?" Feng Qishi glanced at Jia.
Jia was speechless.
Over there.
Mu Anxiao squatted beside the girl again, looking down at her without saying a word.
At the same time, the girl opened her eyes, looked at Mu Anxiao, and said angrily, "Why did you knock me out?"
"..." Mu Anxiao smiled slightly.
Immediately, the girl sat up with difficulty and said, "What are you smiling about? I only said a few words about you to General Shen, and you had to knock me out? You're too wicked." She clutched her head.
Mu Anxiao: "Who told you to say bad things about me? Who told you to have a loose tongue? If you say one more word," she raised her hand as if to strike, "I'll hit you again."
"How dare you."
"How dare I not? You clearly knew that Shen Moyun was going to take us to the palace. Yet, you went and spoke ill of me in front of him. Tell me," Mu Anxiao's eyes turned cold, "do you deserve a beating?"
"I..."
"I know your master sent you here to cause trouble for me, right?" Mu Anxiao interrupted.
Upon hearing Mu Anxiao's words, the girl thought about it as her memory became muddled, and said, "Master told me to go to the General..." She covered her mouth halfway through.
Watching this scene, Jia exclaimed in shock, "How did you do that?" He looked at Feng Qishi.
Feng Qishi reached out and patted Jia's head without saying anything.
Mu Anxiao: "Alright, since you're awake, we should go and talk to the Madam." Saying this, she grabbed the girl's arm.
The girl's body stiffened, and she said, "No."
"No what? You almost got me killed," Mu Anxiao said, then looked up at Feng Qishi. "That General is not someone to be trifled with."
Hearing this, the girl followed Mu Anxiao's gaze towards Feng Qishi and quickly said, "General, this servant did not mean to."
Feng Qishi: "What do you mean by calling her a thief?" He also started fabricating.
The girl had this sentence in her memory.
So, she quickly said, "I... I was just saying it."
"Saying it? I thought you were quite serious just now," Feng Qishi said coldly.
