At this moment, there were many servants and guards surrounding the mansion, who had heard the noise coming from the outside. As for Lian'er and Chu Moxi, they stood in the courtyard and looked relatively calm, but their trembling bodies and pale faces betrayed their feelings.

Lin Xuan's figure descended, sweeping past the outer circle before landing on Lian'er and Chu Moxi. When he saw Chu Moxi, a hint of amazement flashed across his face, but it quickly disappeared.

The people on the outside obviously recognized the Duke Lin Xuan's number one general. As for Huang Guangming, even Duke Chu addressed him respectfully as' Mister '. Who didn't know that?

The servants and guards all saluted them. "Greetings, General Lin! "Greetings, Mr. Yao!"

"What's going on here?" Lin Xuan's eyes swept over the crowd, his tone containing a hint of coldness.

Huang Xuan's eyes had been on Lian'er ever since they arrived at the courtyard. It was as if his eyes were on Lian'er's body, and he didn't pay any attention to those salutes.

"I don't know. Everyone heard the explosion and came over. When they came over, it was like this in the yard." No one dared to speak carelessly.

The corner of his mouth curled up in a smile, but no one knew what he was smiling at. His gaze landed on Chu Moxi, he knew her, one must know that he had already been by the side of the Duke for more than ten years.

On the day of the Duke's birthday, he was in charge of the mansion's safety and wasn't present. However, he had heard of Chu Moxi.

His eyes landed on Chu Moxi and sized her up, "Do you know?" Even though his tone was as tough as ever, the coldness in his voice was no longer there.

"Two shadows flew over from here, one black and one white. After they left, the yard was like this." In order to make a booger, one had to be concise, and the more concise it was, the easier it was to make a person's imagination unlimited.

Seems like they were two supreme experts. Lin Xuan sighed in his heart. They happened to pass by this courtyard during the battle between experts, which was why the courtyard was affected. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for the courtyard to be damaged like this.

"It's all gone. It's all right." Lin Xuan glanced at Chu Moxi and opened his mouth wide. In the end, he didn't say anything as he turned around and spoke to the people outside the courtyard who were sticking their heads out.

With his roar, those people immediately disappeared.

Yao Guangming also returned to his senses. He glanced at Lin Xuan, and in the end, without saying anything, he flew up and down a few times before leaving.

"Take care of yourselves." After saying that, he too left the Masked Dawn Pavilion in a few rises and falls.

She didn't really care that much about Lin Xuan. What she cared more about was that middle-aged man, because he was the one who released the earlier pressure. Why was he staring at Lian'er? Could it be that he had some sort of plan for Lian'er?

Hmph, if you dare touch this old lady's person, this old lady will kill you no matter whether you are a Spirit King or not!

It was definitely killing intent!

"Lian'er, it's alright. Go back to your room and cultivate. Don't tell anyone about your cultivation in the future." Chu Mo Xi instructed Lian'er that she had to be on guard against any unforeseen events.

"Yes, boss." Lian'er didn't know what her boss meant, but she would definitely follow his orders.

In the hall of the Night Fragrance Court, Jun Li and Chu Mubai were sitting face to face. Other than the mother and daughter pair, there was no one else in the hall.

"Mu Ci, do you still remember the matter of you suddenly pouncing towards that bitch Chu Moxi?" Speaking of Chu Moxi, a look of hatred appeared on Jun Li's face. The reason why she was behaving like this was all because of that little slut.

"Mother, you have asked this question several times already. Are you annoyed? I'm too angry when I say it. " For the past half month, his mother had asked him the same question every day.

"Alright, alright, I won't ask anymore. Are you sure that little bitch doesn't have spirit essence?" Jun Li asked worriedly when she remembered that the little slut had broken her daughter's hand.

"Mother, that slut Chu Moxi is trash!" Natural born trash, how do you think she can cultivate spirit essence? Furthermore, she does not have a cultivation technique! " When Chu Mu said this, a taunting smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

If she could cultivate, would she have fallen to such a stage?

"That's good. You should stay in the yard for the past few days. Ling Shan, that slut, is now in charge of the house. With your father's favor, she has nothing to fear." Jun Li scowled. First deal with Ling Shan, then deal with that little bitch.

It would be impossible to say that Jun Li didn't have any tricks up her sleeve to manage the inner court for so many years in Duke Chu's Mansion. Having endured for nearly half a month, this was her limit.

"Mm, I'll be going back." Chu Mu stood up and casually responded. After leaving the hall, the two personal maids waiting outside immediately came to greet them. The three of them disappeared into the twilight.

Not long after Chu Mu said his piece, a black shadow flashed in from outside. It was Steward Lin.

Housekeeper Lin bowed to Jun Li and said, "Madam, Third Madam's methods are becoming more and more ruthless."

"In just these two days, I'll let him do what he wants! I'll let you know when the time comes. " Jun Li's face was hard and cold. "Ling Shan, I didn't want to detonate this bomb, but don't blame me for what you've done."

"Yes." Butler Lin nodded and left.

Jun Li looked out the door at the twilight. With a cold smile on her face, she asked, "Ling Shan, do you really think that all these years I've been presiding over the inner court was in vain?"

In front of Third Wife's study, Third Wife was staring at the namelist in her hands while her personal maid, Zi Yuan, was polishing it for her.

"The guards in the front yard have all been replaced by our people, as well as the ones in the back yard. The people in the warehouse changed on the first day, so there shouldn't be anything left out …" Third Wife reads as she marks the list in her hand.

"Madam, how do you think Lord Lin should get General Lin to send over these lists?" A look of bewilderment appeared on Zi Yuan's face. Originally, the list of names regarding the Chu Duke's wife wasn't too high.

However, on the night that the Duke had deprived the First Wife of her rights, he had sent General Lin Xuan over to deliver this detailed list. It was precisely because of this list that they had been able to clear the First Wife of her influence so quickly and thoroughly.

"Using a knife to kill someone." Third Wife's beautiful face had a smile on it. Judging from the Duke's list, it could be seen that the Duke had been paying attention to the first Wife for a long time.

"Madam, are you saying that the Duke is borrowing Madam's hand …" Zi Yuan looked up in disbelief at this conjecture.

"What's strange? The First Lady had dominated the Inner Court for too many years. Have you completed the task I've instructed you to do? " Third Madam averted her gaze and said casually.

"It's done." Zi Yuan nodded.

The third wife did not reply. The room fell into an endless silence.
