After Mo Yan left, Hongxiu didn't come back to her senses for a long time until she truly realized the conspiracy behind the incident.

Mu Qiaoxi was still leisurely drinking tea to dilute the medicinal taste in her mouth.

"Miss, why are you still idle here? Why aren't you anxious about such a serious matter?"

Mu Qiaoxi raised her eyebrows slightly, lying leisurely on the wicker chair, blowing the evening breeze lazily.

"Afraid, don't I look anxious?"

Hongxiu was about to cry out of anger at Mu Qiaoxi's salty behavior.

"If Miss is really anxious! You should go and report this matter to the Marquis now! Let the Marquis make the decision!"

Mu Qiaoxi then opened her eyes and patted Hongxiu's head with her fan.

"What happens after I tell him? So what? Anyway, the final result of the investigation is that Butler Li made a mistake while he was busy and confused Qibao. If I refuse to let him go, I will execute Butler Li. My father has a grudge against me. Isn't that right?

Did you just fall into someone else’s trap?”

The enemy is in the dark and she is in the light. It is not something that should be rushed in the first place.

"Then Miss, are we just going to sit here and wait for someone to do us harm!"

Hongxiu calmed down, but still felt frightened when she thought about it.

Mu Qiaoxi breathed a sigh of relief slowly and looked at the clouds rolling in the sky, as if a violent storm was brewing.

"Don't worry, it's not us who want to harm people. If it doesn't work once, there will be a second time. If it happens too many times, it will show its flaws."

After hearing that there would be more times, Hongxiu became anxious.

"Miss! This is clearly the mistress who wants to harm you!" Hong Xiu believed that it was Su's handiwork.

From various indications, it seems that the Su family has a grudge to sow discord between their father and daughter.

But Mu Qiaoxi frowned, always feeling that something was wrong.

"Besides the mistress, is there any other person that the young lady can name?" Hong Xiu stepped up and added another sentence, as if to prove her point of view.

When Mu Qiaoxi heard this, she was slightly startled. It seemed that besides Su, was there another person?

Maybe it really is? Mu Qiaoxi suspected that her worries were unfounded, but when it came time to actually target the Su family, Mu Qiaoxi said nothing seemed like it.

When Hongxiu saw that Mu Qiaoxi was silent, she cautiously approached him and made a suggestion.

"Miss, this is not the first time. Why don't we make this matter bigger? Maybe the mistress will not embarrass you again in the future."

Mu Qiaoxi rolled her eyes at Hong Xiu, and tapped her fan lightly on Hong Xiu's head again.

"You have become my master. The top priority is not who wants to harm me. There are many people who want to harm me. It is time to think clearly about this python robe."

They can't rashly alert Mu Zhen now, but if they can't find the Seven Treasures Pearl, it will be a fatal move.

At this moment, the maid at the door came forward.

"Miss, the eldest son is back and wants to see you."

Before Mu Qiaoxi asked the maid to deliver the message, Mu Qirui walked in hastily wearing soft armor.

Judging from his attire, he must have just come out of the military camp.

Mu Qiaoxi looked at the hurried Mu Qirui with some surprise.

"Brother, please tell me if you have anything to do."

As he spoke, he motioned to Hongxiu next to him to pour a cup of tea for Mu Qirui.

Mu Qirui sat on the wicker chair next to her, looking very sad.

"I heard that you, Xi'er, have received the grace of embroidering a python robe."

He said the word grace with such a sad face, which really made people doubt the meaning of these words.

"Yes, the grace of embroidered python robes..." Mu Qiaoxi murmured thoughtfully and repeated.

What kind of grace? From the beginning to now, this python robe has been a life-threatening weapon. From beginning to end, nothing good has happened to Mu Qiaoxi, and judging from this situation, there won't be any in the future.

The python robe has gone through so much trouble, and it would be best for that bastard Si Shaoqing to wear it and die in good health!

Mu Qiaoxi cursed viciously in her heart, but she and Mu Qirui were still doing Tai Chi leisurely.

"These days, when people come to my yard, they all congratulate me with smiles on their faces. Why isn't my brother happy for me? Instead, he looks like this with a sad face."

Mu Qiaoxi held on to the arrogance in front of her, and she could actually guess the source of Mu Qirui's sadness.

Mu Qirui sighed slowly. He looked at the sister he had loved since childhood, and when he saw her domineering attitude, he felt pity in his heart.

"Xi'er, brother knows your temperament. If you don't want to do something, no one in the world can force you. Have you been wronged in any way? If you are wronged, you must tell your brother and let him make the decision for you.

That’s good.”

Mu Qirui was a military commander, and he was said to be rough, but he was willing to consider such delicate matters as his daughter's thoughts.

It's not that he didn't know that if someone really bullied Mu Qiaoxi, that person would be the prince. But even if he knew, he still said what the general said firmly.

Mu Qiaoxi felt that there was a corner in her heart that was so moved that it was about to melt, but on her face, she still raised her chin in disdain.

"Who doesn't want the favor of the Tian family? Since my brother knows my temper, he should also know that his worries are unnecessary."

But this time, Mu Qirui did not agree with Mu Qiaoxi with a smile, but signaled Hongxiu to step back, quietly fumbled for something from his pocket, and approached Mu Qiaoxi.

"Brother knows that Xi'er has encountered something difficult. You don't have to hold on. As I said, no matter what happens, you should always come to your brother." Mu Qirui said, secretly stuffing something like a tips bag into her pocket.

In Mu Qiaoxi's hands.

Just as Mu Qiaoxi was about to pick it up, Mu Qirui held her hand.

"I'll see you later." Mu Qirui looked cautious and nodded heavily.

Mu Qiaoxi didn't see him acting so seriously, so she had no choice but to follow him.

"There are still many things to do in the army. My brother will come to see you later."

With that said, Mu Qirui stood up and left.

After Mu Qirui left, it was already dusk and Mu Qiaoxi returned to the house.

She opened the brocade bag, and she was shocked to find that it was filled with beads polished by Qibao?!

There was also a small piece of paper, and Mu Qiaoxi quickly took it out and read it.

"Xi, danger."

It was just two words, but Mu Qiaoxi could see the handwriting on it.

This is Mo Yan's handwriting. The fake Qibao sent by Butler Li had just arrived in the morning, and Mu Qirui came over in the afternoon?

This doesn't make sense. The only thing that can explain it clearly is that Mo Yan already knew about it when the fake Qibao came out, and that's why he contacted Mu Qirui at that time, leading to today's situation.

So Mo Yan never doubted her from beginning to end? So what was that weird mood in the morning?

Mu Qiaoxi couldn't understand.
