"What a bitch, you even know to come back?" It's really like being on the wrong side of the coin, being on the wrong side of the stick. You can be whatever master you have, and you can be whatever girl you want. " When Chu Mu saw Lian'er enter, he immediately opened his mouth and ridiculed her.

As long as it was someone related to Chu Moxi, she wouldn't let any of them go.

Lian'er glanced at Chu Mu, then kneeled down and bowed to Chu Mingjing, "Your servant greets Duke, Madam Duke, Third Madam, and Third Miss." The Duke and the others were coming menacingly, hoping their boss wouldn't come back and crash into them.

"You actually didn't return when the time came. How did your master teach you?" Chu Mingjing's expression was as cold as ice. Since he had already decided to make an example out of everyone, he did not plan on letting this girl go.

"It's Lian'er's own fault, don't blame Miss." Lian'er eagerly replied, afraid that the Duke would blame Chu Moxi for this.

"Hmph, your young miss hasn't come back yet. Where did she go?" Chu Mingjing coldly snorted and spoke with a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Miss is …" Miss went for a walk and will be back soon. " With a pale face, Lian'er tried to find an excuse for Chu Moxi.

"A walk? Your young lady is really a beast! How many hours can a walk take? Father has already been waiting for four hours at the Masked Dawn Pavilion. " Chu Mu sneered and added fuel to the fire.

"Humph!" Chu Ming gave a cold snort and turned his head to look at the third wife beside him. Chu Ming's voice became softer, "In your opinion, third wife, how should I deal with this matter?"

"Reporting to Duke, what Ling Shan means is that we should wait for Chu Moxi to come back before we ask her if it's too late." Third Madam looked at Lian'er and said.

"Then …" Just as Chu Ming was about to reply, Jun Li opened her mouth and said, "Third brother, the Duke's Mansion's rules cannot be broken. Moreover, it's such a cold day, could it be that everyone is still waiting for Chu Moxi to return?"

Ling Shan's face changed slightly at Jun Li's words.

When Jun Li saw Ling Shan being humiliated, there was no need to mention how happy she was. With a smile on her face, she turned her head towards Chu Zhaojing and said, "Duke, you should first capture this girl. When Chu Moxie returns, we'll ask her about this together."

Chu Ming looked at Lian'er who was kneeling on the ground and frowned. He said, "We'll follow First Madam's instructions and take this little girl away. Leave a few people here to wait for Chu Moxi. Once she returns to the manor, we'll bring her to the front courtyard to interrogate her." Leaving behind this sentence, Duke Chu strode off without looking back.

Only then did the First Wife raise her head and look coldly at Lian'er who was kneeling on the ground. She then turned to Third Wife who had an unnatural expression and said, "I'm really sorry to have to trouble you tonight, Third Wife!"

The first wife's tone was laced with sarcasm and she was very clear on the details.

Third Wife ignored the mockery in Eldest Wife's words. She raised her right hand to pick up her hair, while a smile blossomed on her face. "Eldest Wife is guarding the Morninglight Pavilion, that's why I'm calling it a favor. We're just here to take advantage of it!" The sarcasm in her voice almost made the First Lady's heart ache.

Seeing the first wife's pale face, the third wife's smile became even wider. Her heart sank slightly as she said, "Someone, bring this girl to the Mountain Spirit Courtyard …"

Before Third Madam could finish her words, she was interrupted by the first wife. "Third Madam, you should just wait and see what the tasks of pawning this girl will be for the people below." Jun Li gave a meaningful look to the guards behind Third Wife, and two of them immediately pulled Lian'er out of the room.

Only after seeing Lian'er taken away by the guards did Jun Li let out a breath of relief. That little girl had fallen into her hands.

"Then First Madam must wait for Chu Moxi to return home." The third wife wasn't angered by the eldest wife interrupting her words, but rather left these words behind without a trace of politeness before leaving the Mo Xi Pavilion.

After the third wife left, the doctor's face turned cold, "That bitch Ling Shan actually told me to wait here for Chu Moxi. Hmph, who does she think she is?" "The three of you stay here. If you see that slut Chu Moxi, then directly bring her to the front courtyard. Mu Xi, come. We'll go to the front courtyard and wait for news." Jun Li pointed at the three guards behind her.

"En, this Mo Xi Pavilion is so dark and cold, I don't want to stay here any longer." Chu Mu stamped his feet. If he didn't have to come, she wouldn't even have entered the backyard.

Following the departure of Jun Li and Chu Mu, Mo Xi Pavilion once again fell into silence. However, it was still brightly lit.

Because it was already late in the night, the city gates had already closed. After Chu Moxi let the carriage driver leave, she followed the city gates to find a relatively remote area, and then used the flying claw to enter the city.

Due to the complete loss of her spirit essence, Chu Moxi's speed was very slow. She only arrived at the city during the tenth day of the year. She moved deeper and deeper in the direction of the Duke Chu Mansion, leaving footprints behind on the streets where no one was.

After entering Duke Chu's mansion through the side door, Chu Moxi could see that her courtyard was brightly lit. She immediately stopped in her tracks.

No, Lian'er had always been frugal. She definitely wouldn't let the yard light up when she wasn't home!

Chu Moxi's eyes narrowed and her body flashed out like a nimble cat. Even though her spirit essence was gone, it didn't affect her agility.

Ye Zichen climbed up the wall skillfully, and saw three guards standing in the yard. Perhaps the weather was too cold, or perhaps it was too boring, but the three guards actually started chatting.

"Hey, what do you think will happen to this piece of trash this time?"

"What else can I do? I will probably kick her out of the Duke's Mansion! "

"That can't be, right? She's only a piece of trash that has been kicked out of the residence. How is she going to live?"

"Do you care how she lives? To make a good-for-nothing like her lose face for the Duke's Mansion? "

"On the other hand, that brat of hers suffered a lot by following her …"

"You can't have fallen for that girl, right? Let me tell you, that little girl has fallen into the hands of the first wife. It's best if you don't have any ideas … "

"..."

Listening to the conversation in the courtyard, Chu Moxi's expression became colder and colder, "It's the First Madam again. Very well, I'll make you understand the consequences of provoking me."

Chu Moxi slowly slid down from the wall. Then, acting as if she didn't know anything, she slowly headed towards the courtyard.

The moment he stepped into the courtyard, the three guards saw him.

"Who is it?" Due to the light, he couldn't see Chu Moxi's miserable appearance.

"Who are you people? Why are you in my Mo Xi Pavilion? " Chu Moxi seemed to have just seen the three guards as she asked with a surprised expression on her face.

"Chu Mo Xi, you returned home? "The Duke ordered that when you return to your manor, you will go to the front courtyard." The three bodyguards didn't say anything to Chu Moxi and directly walked towards her. They seemed as if they wanted to help if you didn't want to leave by yourself.

"I'll leave by myself." Hmph, there are really a lot of people participating! Chu Moxi's eyes flashed with a cold light.
