Xiao Mo Xin retreated a few steps: "A gentleman doesn't make a move, could it be, that you want to be a villain?"

"You …"

"Enough!" Yu Chi Ming cut off Mo Zi Xuan's words with a stern tone, and swept his eyes across Xiao Mo Xin: "Follow This King!"

After Xiao Mo Xin received the order, he immediately followed. Before he left, he did not forget to make a face at Mo Zi Xuan.

Mo Zi Xuan was so angry that he almost vomited blood. This brat, sooner or later he would find a chance to teach him a lesson.

He gritted his teeth and followed in their footsteps.

Xiao Mo Xin followed Yu Chi Ming around the palace, and after walking for a while, they finally stopped in front of a slightly dilapidated courtyard: "Who used to live here?"

"This King's matriarch!" As he replied, Yu Chi Ming pushed open the courtyard door.

As far as the eyes could see, the courtyard that was filled with fallen leaves was even more desolate.

Xiao Mo Xin raised his eyebrows. No wonder he was so persistent.

There were not many people in the world who would allow their loved ones to die without fear.

"You can wait here for This King. After the next assembly, This King will come and find you!" Yu Chi Ming said in a heavy voice.

"Alright!" Xiao Mo Xin agreed indifferently, as long as she had a place to stay.

Yu Chi Ming did not speak anymore, turned, and left in large strides.

Mo Zi Xuan glared at Xiao Mo Xin before he left with Yu Chi Ming.

Xiao Mo Xin curled his lips, completely disregarded Mo Zi Xuan's gaze, and walked into the courtyard.

The tip of his foot stepped on the dried leaves, and from time to time, the sound of leaves breaking would be heard.

Xiao Mo Xin scanned the courtyard once, but did not find any ghosts. He secretly thought, could it be that she had already reincarnated?

He raised his hand and pushed open the door.

What entered his eyes was not the dirty mess he had imagined. Instead, it was neat and tidy.

From the looks of it, someone had come to clean it regularly.

He walked into the bedroom and swept his gaze over the furnishings inside. He couldn't help but make a few "tsk tsk" sounds.

Judging from the furnishings in the chamber, matriarch Yu Chi Ming must have been extremely favored when he was alive. Otherwise, his chamber wouldn't have such priceless display, and even more so wouldn't have remained the same even after she died.

Xiao Mo Xin searched the entire courtyard, inside and out, but did not sense the existence of any ghosts.

In the end, he decided to just sit down on a stone bench in the courtyard and wait for Yu Chi Ming's arrival.

"Meow ~ ~"

Xiao Hei who had been quietly staying in Xiao Mo Xin's embrace suddenly called out.

Xiao Mo Xin's heart skipped a beat, he quickly turned to look, but did not see anything.

"Xiao Hei! Are you seeing things? " If there really was a ghost within this courtyard, then it was impossible for her to not detect it at all.

"Meow, meow."

"I'm not doubting you. I'm just asking if you're seeing things."

Being doubted again and again, Xiao Hei clawed at her in anger, but he had a good grasp of his strength, so as to not hurt her.

"Alright!" Okay... I won't say anymore, at least that's enough! " Xiao Mo Xin quickly comforted it and rubbed its head, in case it went crazy later on.

Before Xiao Hei could calm his anger and let her touch him, he jumped and landed on the stone table.

Xiao Mo Xin laughed, he had no plans to pacify it again.

Moments later …

From the distance, the sound of small footsteps could be heard.

Just as Xiao Mo Xin was suspecting how Yu Chi Ming could descend so quickly, the figure of a Young Eunuch entered her line of sight.

"Young master! This is the pastry that the three Prince s ordered their servants to bring! " Young Eunuch stopped by Xiao Mo Xin's side and conveniently placed the pastries on the table.

"Thank you!" Xiao Mo Xin thanked him.

Although Yu Chi Ming was a bit stingy and only ordered a plate of pastries to be served, at least she was not hungry.

"Young master is being too courteous!" Young Eunuch and Xiao Mo Xin nodded, and then left the courtyard.

"Wait a minute!" Before he started to move, Xiao Mo Xin spoke first.

Young Eunuch looked at Xiao Mo Xin suspiciously: "May I know what other instructions you have for me, Young Noble?"

"Can I ask you a few things about the three Prince s before they died?"

"If young master wishes to ask about the Quiet Consort, you have truly asked the wrong person!" Young Eunuch said apologetically.

Xiao Mo Xin frowned: "What do you mean?"

"It is said that the Quiet Consort has been dead for almost ten years, and this slave just entered the palace eight years ago. Regarding the previous matters, I do not know much!" The Young Eunuch answered truthfully.

Xiao Mo Xin had a headache, he did not expect that Yu Chi Ming's matriarch had actually died so long ago.

As a result, the possibility that the ghost of his matriarch still existed in the human world was close to zero.

"I got it!" Xiao Mo Xin casually pulled at the corner of his mouth.

"This servant will take his leave!" Young Eunuch and Xiao Mo Xin nodded, and then slowly left the courtyard.

"Meow ~ ~"

Xiao Hei, who had been left alone for a good while, shouted unhappily.

Xiao Mo Xin raised his eyelids to look at it, then brought the leftover half of a pastry in his hands over, "Eat!".

"…" Xiao Hei.

Ignoring its protest, Xiao Mo Xin picked up another piece of cake, just as it was about to put it in his mouth, he suddenly felt something different, and quickly looked back. He only had enough time to see a transparent ghost that was about to disappear.

Xiao Mo Xin suddenly stood up, and chased after the direction the ghost disappeared in a few steps, but in the end, he did not manage to catch up.

That ghost that just flashed by, could it be his matriarch? If that was the case, how could she have done it in the past ten years?

Xiao Mo Xin had many questions in his mind, but he could tell that she was intentionally avoiding him.

"I am here today without malice because I have been entrusted by the three Prince s to find out the truth behind your death back then. If you do not wish for your son to continue living amidst so many questions, then please come out and tell me so that I can let go of your son …" Xiao Mo Xin talked in the empty courtyard for a good while, but that transparent ghost that was almost about to disappear, still did not come out.

Xiao Mo Xin more or less could guess that she didn't trust her.

If it was an ordinary ghost, no matter how well they hid, she would be able to find the exact location of the ghost aura they were emitting, but the ghost just now was different. She was too weak, weak to the point that there was not even a ghost aura present.

This was also the reason why she didn't dare to act rashly for the time being.

"You can distrust me, but you shouldn't distrust your son, right?" Xiao Mo Xin glanced at the empty courtyard, and knew clearly that she was hiding in a corner: "When the Prince descends, she will directly come here, and at that time, you will know whether what I say is true or false!"
