At this moment, Chu Moxi had no idea that the game she was playing had already deviated from its original trajectory and was heading in another direction.
The sunset finally pulled its tail and disappeared into the horizon. The Duke Chu Residence was extremely quiet, and not a single person could be seen outside.
Suddenly, a scream came from a servant's residence. "Capture a ghost!" Then he saw many guards and servants chasing after a white shadow.
Because this white shadow had been discovered by others, she had panicked and led these people to the Duke's Mansion, circling around and around, before finally rushing into the most remote backyard. The person behind him chased directly into the remote backyard. In the end, they chased directly to the front of the Mo Xi courtyard. The white figure jumped into the Mo Xi Pavilion and disappeared without a trace.
"The ghost has entered Mo Xi Pavilion." Someone in the crowd said this, and everyone rushed into Mo Xi's pavilion.
"What are you guys doing?" Lian'er heard a sound outside and immediately ran out from her room. Seeing that a large group of people were about to enter the courtyard, she blocked the entrance and asked.
"The ghost has entered the Moxing Pavilion. We are here on the orders of the great madame to capture the ghost." The lead guard said aggressively to Lian'er.
"I don't care if you catch ghosts or not, we, Mo Xi Pavilion, cannot enter. This is the Duke's ban on foot." Lian'er's face was cold. Her boss was in the middle of his training, so she couldn't let them disturb him.
As soon as the words' Duke's injunction 'came out, everyone stopped in their tracks. Everyone looked at each other, hesitating.
At this time, a group of people were approaching from the front courtyard. The one in front was the first wife, Jun Li.
"What happened? What were they all doing here? Didn't you say that you've caught a 'ghost'? " Jun Li's tone carried the aura of a manager. Her gaze swept across Lian'er's face and landed on the leader of the guards.
When the latter saw Jun Li, she immediately straightened her chest and said, "Reporting to Madam, we saw the white shadow enter the Mo Xi Pavilion. However, this maid is blocking the door, and does not allow us to capture the white shadow."
"Is there such a thing?" Jun Li's eyes were cold, but she was questioning Lian'er on the surface.
"The Duke has a stop order, so other than the servants, no one else is allowed to enter or leave the Moxi Pavilion. Is the First Wife challenging this order again?" Lian'er steeled her heart. For the sake of the boss, so what if he offended the First Wife?
"Men, seize this lowly slave and enter the Masked Dawn Pavilion to capture ghosts." When the First Wife heard Lian'er's words, her face turned black. It had to be known that when she was defeated by that slut Chu Moxi, that was the shame of her life. Lian'er started to stir up once again. How could she endure this?
"Which uncultured person is shouting in front of my yard?" A lazy voice could be heard, followed by Chu Moxi slowly walking out of the room.
The corner of her mouth curled up into a faint smile, but that smile sent chills down everyone's spine. Jun Li, who bore the brunt of the smile, actually took a step back in fear.
She took a step forward and returned to her original position. The fear on her face disappeared and she regained her composure as Duke Chu's wife, "Chu Moxi, what does your servant girl mean by stopping us from entering the Mo Xi Pavilion to capture that white shadow? Could it be that your Mo Xi Pavilion wants to shield that white shadow? " Every word of his was filled with thorns, and every sentence was aimed at Chu Mo Xi.
What a joke, who is the Duke? "Even if he is a little kid, he would have to take a detour to get out of here, that is the prestige of the Duke. The First Madam said that a white shadow has entered our Mo Xi Pavilion, is this to say that the Duke's prestige isn't enough to shock a little kid?" A cold smile appeared on Chu Moxi's lips. Since the Madam wants to play, let's play a bit more.
"This …" Jun Li was momentarily at a loss for words. She took a deep breath, pointed at Chu Moxi and said, "Since the Duke has such prestige, of course the little devil has none. Everyone here has seen the white shadow enter the Morninglight Pavilion. Chu Moxi, are you afraid that you won't accept the search? "
Jun Li purposely approached Chu Moxi and whispered into her ear.
"The First Madam can also search my Mo Xi Pavilion. I, Chu Moxi, have a condition."
There was a very mysterious smile on Chu Moxi's face.
"What condition?" Jun Lixin was overjoyed. As long as that bitch Chu Moxi agreed to search, then she would have a way to turn her into a 'ghost'.
"How about after all of the courtyards have been searched, then search my Mo Xi Pavilion? Of course, I choose the people I want to search. " Seeing that Jun Li had fallen for his trick, the smile on Chu Moxi's face became even more resplendent.
What was she doing? Delaying for time to think of a way? Jun Li was sure that Chu Moxi was talking about this, so she felt a lot more at ease. After all, the people here were either his or the third wife's. She wasn't afraid that Chu Moxi would do something to them.
"Alright, that's settled then." 'Let's see if you have anything else to say. 'Jun Li's face was cold. This time, it was enough to completely destroy her.
"Sure." Chu Moxi looked at Jun Li, who had a complacent smile on her face. How happy you are right now?
"Pick someone!" At this point, Jun Li was very happy to show her generosity.
Chu Moxie's eyes swept the crowd and picked out five people from the crowd. Just now, she had noticed the faint dissatisfaction in the eyes of these five people as they looked at the First Madam. They should be the Third Madam's people.? Jun Li's eyes turned cold when she saw that the five people chosen by Chu Moxi were all from the Third Madam. This little bitch's luck is too good, isn't it? However, she was very confident. Even if there wasn't one of her own people, she wasn't too worried.
The two of them brought the selected people into the various courtyards of the Duke's Mansion.
