At night, the snow began to fall again. Within Duke Chu's mansion, no one dared to make a ruckus, so it was quiet.

A figure flew out from Mo Xi's pavilion. Her speed wasn't very fast, but her technique was definitely special. Not on the ground, but on the roof. Asked how she couldn't fly?

It was very simple. The Sky Claw was the tool that she used the most. It was Chu Moxi's most prideful work these few days.

At this moment, Chu Moxi's Spiritual Yuan had already reached the third level of the Spiritual Master Stage. It was a piece of cake for her to walk on the rooftop. Chu Moxi's goal was very direct, and that was the storage area of the Duke Chu Residence. After seven days of bustling, the Duke Chu Residence should have already entered its tiring phase.

Furthermore, with Duke Chu's birthday banquet causing a ruckus, no one would have thought that someone would come to steal the warehouse today. That's right, Chu Moxi had come to steal the warehouse.

It was already late in the morning, and with the heavy snowfall, there was not a single person in the Chu Residence. Even the patrolling guards were few in number.

Chu Mo Xi quickly arrived at the warehouse. Without wasting any time, she directly opened the door of the warehouse and entered without anyone noticing.

On Duke Chu's birthday, she had noticed from outside the main hall that the gift was not something that could be filled in a single warehouse.

A faint snoring sound could be heard from inside the house. Chu Moxi's gaze swept over the place, but she didn't head towards the warehouse from before. Instead, she headed towards the neighboring warehouse.

There was still a lock on the door, so Chu Moxi easily opened it.

The first thing he saw when he opened the warehouse was the many unorganized gift boxes. They were much more numerous than the previous one, and judging from the spiritual energy waves emitted by the gift boxes, they were definitely not ordinary objects.

"Just some ordinary thing!" "Not a genius gem, back off!"

What bullshit? Directly not a genius land treasure? Withdraw?

Chu Moxi didn't know what was going on either. As long as she had something with spirit, the remnant spirit in the painting would automatically examine it. Then, the remnant spirit would look down on something that didn't enter his eyes.

In its eyes, there were only heavenly and earthly treasures, so Chu Moxi had always believed that her remnant soul was a hidden treasure.

"Quiet down and pack everything." Chu Moxi's face was dark. Didn't she see that they were stealing? You're still making such a ruckus.

"No one can hear me."

"Ugh …" Chu Mo Xi embarrassedly froze there. Her face turned black, but the items in the warehouse slowly began to dwindle. Chu Mo Xi knew that the remnant soul in the space was making a move, so she felt a little better.

Only after the last item in the warehouse disappeared did Chu Moxi return along the same path in satisfaction. She didn't even leave a single wrong footprint.

The snow continued to fall heavily and soon covered the footprints left by Chu Mo Xi on the rooftop.

Standing on the roof of the Mo Xi courtyard, Chu Mo Xi sneered as she looked in the direction of the warehouse, "Duke Chu, I don't know if you like this big present!" With a leap, she jumped off the roof.

She believed that if no one went to deal with the warehouse, no one would find out that it had been stolen in such a short period of time.

The next day, the Duke Chu Mansion did not have any movements. It seemed like Chu Moxi had predicted that no one would find out about the theft of the warehouse.

Duke Chu went to the palace early in the morning to thank the emperor for his kindness. The entire mansion was rather quiet.

It was almost noon when Duke Chu came back from the palace. His expression was not very good as he called all the women in the household into the main hall. He sat on the chair and watched, not saying a word. The atmosphere was somewhat strange.

After a long time, Chu Mingjing finally opened his mouth to ask, "Who can tell you why Lin Zhicheng's son is here to end the engagement?" Chu Mingjing's tone did not make it clear what his intentions were. It seemed that he was just asking Liu Xing a question.

Everyone lowered their heads. Who in the household didn't know about this? However, they were all carrying a mocking attitude. Since the Duke suddenly asked today, no one knew what he meant, so no one stood up to answer.

Chu Mingjing swept his gaze over everyone's faces before finally landing on the first wife, Jun Li, "Jun Li, you preside over the entire backyard. Tell me about it first." There was a hint of anger in his tone. Chu Mingjing was not angry because the Lin Family came to end the engagement, but angry because no one told him about it.

He didn't care whether Chu Moxi was annulled or not. What he cared about was his face.

"Master, before yesterday, the manor didn't know." Jun Li gritted her teeth. This had nothing to do with her. She wouldn't admit that she knew.

She stealthily glanced at Chu Mingjing. She didn't know if he was still angry over the matter at the banquet, but Jun Li felt somewhat apprehensive.

Chu Ming Jing stared at Jun Li and continued to ask, "You don't know? What a good 'one doesn't know'! " The cold intention of these words swept through the hall, causing Jun Li to almost fall off her feet.

Jun Li's neck shrank back. Duke Chu's previous outburst of anger made it possible that he'd killed her.

"Duke, please calm your anger. Chu Moxi and Sir Lin had privately annulled the engagement. Even if the entire estate has caught wind of this matter, without Chu Moxie informing them, it would be difficult to come to a conclusion." Please, Duke, don't blame Big Sis. " Third Madam's words were very simple. Even if Chu Moxi didn't say anything, we would still be playing catch, and we wouldn't be able to do anything to the Lin Clan.

This sentence successfully diverted Chu Mingjing's attention, so it could be said that he had saved the first wife.

Chu Mingjing's expression eased up a bit because of Ling Shan's words. After all, she wasn't wrong, and this matter could only be blamed on that little bastard Chu Moxi. You're the only one who cares. "

Jun Li's face froze in place as she listened to Ling Shan's words. Seeing how her third wife was once again favored by Duke Chu, the fire in her eyes was on the verge of spitting out of it.

"Duke, big sister is very considerate as well. It won't be easy for her to take care of this estate." Third Madam lowered her head and spoke kindly to the First Madam.

"Since she feels tired when she hosts the entire Inner Academy, you will be the one to host it in the future." Chu Mingjing's eyes fell on the third wife. If one were to say he was satisfied, then the one he was most satisfied with was the third wife. She had a sweet mouth and was considerate, but she wasn't jealous like Jun Liansheng.

He had always been dissatisfied with his first wife, but because his second daughter had entered the palace, for his second daughter's sake, he had endured Jun Li's domineering attitude.

He had always wanted to separate some of the matters of the inner courtyard from Jun Li's body, and then slowly eat them away. Wasn't this the perfect opportunity?

"Duke, you …" Hearing Chu Mingjing's words, Jun Li's legs softened. How could he treat her in such a manner?

"Mother!" With these words, Chu Mu helped his mother up and then sternly asked Chu Ming Jing: "Father, how can you treat your mother like this?"

"Muyi, in the next few days, you and your mother will be staying in the courtyard to calm down. When you've thought it through, I'll let you out." Chu Ming flicked his sleeves and left. He didn't even spare a glance at Jun Li.
