The man in black's eyes looked even more interested, "Is this how you treat your savior?"

"You saved me on your own initiative, but I didn't ask you to."

The implication is - you were the one who meddled in other people's business and saved me, what does it have to do with me? You want me to repay you, but that's impossible. What a cold and inhumane answer.

The man in black looked her up and down, what a cunning fox he was.

He remained calm and took out a jade pendant from his bosom. "If I give this jade pendant to the King of Wei, what do you think the King of Wei, who is a vindictive person, will do?"

Seeing the jade pendant, Mu Yan's calm face finally showed a trace of panic. The jade pendant was her mother's relic and was of great significance to her. If this jade pendant fell into the hands of King Wei, it would not be difficult to find her out.

She is still young and inexperienced, so it is inconvenient for her to attract too much attention from others. It is also not the time for her to confront Mo Xingchen head-on.

How despicable!

Mu Yan gnashed her teeth and said to him, "When did you steal the jade pendant?"

The man played with the jade pendant in his hand. "Steal? I didn't steal it. You dropped it on the ground when you were fighting with someone, and I picked it up for you when I saved you. Otherwise, the King of Wei would have found you through this jade pendant."

"How can you return the jade pendant to me?"

Mu Yan kept cursing the person in front of him in his heart. The feeling of being controlled by others was really terrible.

The man in black raised his cold lips and said, "I haven't thought about it yet. I'll think you owe me a favor. I'll come back to you when I think of something."

Mu Yan rolled her eyes at him and held out her hands, "I promise you, but can you return the jade pendant to me first?"

The man immediately hid the jade pendant in his arms, fearing that the woman in front of him would reach out to grab it, and sneered. "That won't work, in case you deny it later."

This is a cunning little fox. She is capable of turning her back on people.

The man in black's action clearly showed that he didn't believe her, which made her so angry that she snorted and turned away.

The moment Mu Yan turned around, she smiled and said, "Don't use your internal energy to force out the remaining poison of the Western Region Hundred Flowers Powder. Otherwise, it will cause great damage to your body. If you don't die, you will become a useless person."

After saying this, without waiting for the man to speak, she tiptoed on the ground and disappeared in an instant, as if she had never appeared.

"What an amazing Qinggong!"

The man in black was playing with the white jade pendant in his hand with great interest, with a seductive smile on his lips.

He was indeed poisoned by the Hundred Flowers Powder from the Western Region, and had used his internal energy to force out most of the poison. How could she see it in such a short time?

Who is this woman?

He stretched out his hand and summoned his secret guards.

"Go, follow her and find out the identity of this woman."

"Yes!"

Qiyun Pavilion.

Mu Yan thought of the letters she saw in Mo Xingchen's study today. She never knew that he had been in contact with the Dongfan Kingdom.

Mo Xingchen was a very cunning person, and he hid things very deeply. Even his closest people would be on guard against him, so she didn't know many things about him.

It was just that she had deep feelings for Mo Xingchen at the time and was blinded by his sweet words, so she didn't investigate further. Now, when she thinks about it carefully, Mo Xingchen was indeed hiding a lot of things from her.

When Mo Xingchen killed him in his previous life, he was only the prince and had not yet ascended the throne.

Although the crown prince had died and King Xuan was demoted, his mother, Concubine Jing, was the emperor's favorite concubine. The Jing family was a family of scholars and officials with great power in the court. It was not impossible for her to make a comeback.

It was not a wise choice for Mo Xingchen to abandon the Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion at that time. To say that he was so angry for the beauty he loved was not his style. Unless he had other cards hidden, how could Mo Xingchen, with his cautious character, put himself in a passive situation.

It seems that this matter needs to be investigated carefully.

······

In the early morning, the bright sunlight gradually filled the entire Qiyun Pavilion.

"How can you be a servant? You can't even hold a cup of water. You even stained my skirt. Be careful or I'll tell the lady and take your indenture and sell you off."

"It was you who bumped into me..."

"Snapped!"

There was a slap.

"You stupid girl, who are you to dare to talk to me like that?"

Then the sound of a girl crying softly was heard.

Mu Yan had just returned from Prince Wei's mansion and had not slept for long when she was awakened by a loud noise.

When she opened the door, she saw a maid in blue scolding another second-class maid. The scolding was so unbearable to hear.

"You are so arrogant. If others don't know you, they would think you are a lady." Mu Yan's voice was neither cold nor indifferent. She stared at the maid in green, and her face showed no emotion.

When the woman in green saw Mu Yan, her expression changed immediately, and her expression changed as fast as the actors in the yard.

"Miss, are you awake? This maid is so rash and impatient. I am teaching her a lesson for you."

The maid who spoke was Qingxiu, another personal maid of Mu Yan. In the previous life, Mu Yan treated her very well and did not even know that she was from Liu Wenmei's side.

Yesterday, Mu Yan discovered that she was missing when she was in the carriage. When she returned to the Mu family, she found that Qingxiu had already returned to the Mu Mansion. She said that she came back to ask for help, but in fact she hurried back to inform Liu. She also deliberately injured her right arm just to make Mu Yan believe her.

If Qingxiu had not followed Mu Wan when she came to see her in prison in her previous life, she would not have known that Qingxiu had betrayed her long ago, or that she had always belonged to him.

Now thinking about everything that happened before, Qingxiu played an indispensable role in her ending in her previous life.

Otherwise, even if Mu Wan knew where the tiger talisman of the Yanyun Army was placed, how could she steal the talisman from a heavily guarded place without anyone noticing? If someone cooperated from inside and outside, then everything would be simple.

The reason why Mu Yan didn't expose her was because she was still useful to him, and even if he drove her away, Liu Wenmei would send someone else to be by her side.

By that time, the enemy will be in the dark and you will be in the light, which will make you passive.

Mu Yan's lips curled up slightly, "I don't care who is right or wrong, but you woke me up, which is wrong. From now on, you don't have to serve in the inner room, go to the outer courtyard."

Qingxiu's eyes widened in disbelief. The maids in the outer courtyard were all third-class maids, who usually did miscellaneous sweeping and rough work. As a personal maid of the young lady, she was usually treated like half a young lady. How could she accept such a gap?

"Miss, how can you demote me to a third-class maid?"

Mu Yan's cold eyes swept towards her, causing Qing Xiu to feel fear in her heart.

"I am the master and you are the servant. My punishment is also a reward to you. Not only do you not kowtow to thank me, but you also dare to question my decision. If you don't want to be a third-class maid, you can get out."

Qingxiu stood there in a daze, replaying the word "get out" in his mind. He felt that the lady in front of him seemed like a different person.

Mu Yan dared to bet that since Qingxiu was Liu Wenmei's man, he would not leave her yard easily.

Qingxiu offended her today. The maids all do things according to their master's mood. She dared to guarantee that as long as Qingxiu was still in her yard, he would not have a good life.

After saying that, without even looking at her, he turned around and walked into the house.

Qingxiu behind him was so angry that he was jumping up and down, but he could do nothing but walk out of the yard in embarrassment.
