"Sister-in-law, what you mean is that these killers were sent by Helian Sitian?" Mu Nian'an asked in shock.

Xu Zhimiao did not answer her, but continued to look at Mu Shaochen with a smile as if in the spring breeze, "Husband, what do you think?"

Mu Shaochen nodded, his expression heavy, "Yeah."

"Why?" Mu Nian'an was still confused. "Why would Helian Sitian like my brother? She is not..."

Then he turned to look at Helian Chen, "What does your highness mean?"

Helian Chen's expression was solemn. "For now, we have no evidence. Even if we bring this to the Emperor, she won't admit it."

"The most important point is that the Queen and Helian Qi are both under house arrest. Therefore, Father is currently biased towards Helian Sitian."

"Also, Helian Sitian has always acted well-behaved, sensible, and selfless in front of the emperor."

"So, let's tell Father now that Helian Sitian sent assassins to assassinate my sister-in-law. There's no way Father will believe it."

"It's so infuriating!" Mu Nian'an stamped his feet angrily, his face full of resentment, "Fortunately, my sister-in-law and I are fine. Otherwise..."

"Brother, are you going to just swallow this breath? Are you going to let your wife be bullied like this?"

"If sister-in-law hadn't prepared in advance, you would probably be crying now!"

"If you don't help your sister-in-law, I will look down on you!"

Standing next to Xu Zhimiao, he looked at Mu Shaochen with a resentful face.

Mu Shaochen was about to speak, but Xu Zhimiao comforted Mu Nian'an as if nothing had happened, "Okay, don't be angry. I'm fine, right?"

"There is no rush to settle accounts. As the saying goes, accounts are settled in the autumn. And it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge!"

"So what if she's a princess? She'll eventually fall into my hands. Okay, okay, don't be angry! It's not good to be angry."

"You get wrinkles easily?" She smiled and flicked Mu Nian'an's cheek. "If you get wrinkles, you'll quickly become an old lady. What if His Highness gets jealous and dislikes you..."

"I won't!" Helian Chen interrupted Xu Zhimiao before she finished speaking, looking serious and serious, "No matter what Nian An becomes, I will never despise her."

"I like her as a person, not her appearance. Sister-in-law, please rest assured that no matter what time it is, Nian An is the only person I love in my life."

"Besides her, I don't want another woman."

[Wow! Such a direct confession! I am so envious! ]

[Look, look! Nian An is blushing from shyness? ]

[It's great! Nian'an has such a good relationship. 】

Mu Nian'an's face turned really red, she lowered her head shyly, not daring to look at Helian Chen.

My heart is full of sweetness and happiness.

How lucky she was to be liked so much by His Highness.

In order to respond to His Highness's deep affection, she must be good to Him and return his affection with the same affection.

No matter at any time or under any circumstances, we must unconditionally believe in and support His Highness.

"Miao Miao, I will not let you suffer this shock and grievance in vain." Mu Shaochen stared at Xu Zhimiao and promised with a serious face, "I will make her pay the price."

"Your Highness, what do you think?" He looked at Helian Chen, "If I attack Helian Sitian, will Your Highness stop me?"

"No!" Helian Chen said without hesitation, "I will work with you! After all, she almost hurt Nian An!"

In his heart, Mu Nian'an is the most important person.

What does Helian Sitian's life or death have to do with him? Besides, how many times has Helian Sitian secretly killed him over the years?

Among the three of them, mother and two children, who wouldn't want his life?

"That's great!" Mu Shaochen nodded.

"Your servant greets His Highness, the Crown Prince, the Young Madam, and the Young Lady." The housekeeper came hurriedly, his face heavy, "The Crown Prince and the Young Madam, please return home immediately."

"What's the matter?" Mu Shaochen asked.

"The Xu family has come to report the death of our father-in-law." The housekeeper said in a serious voice.

"Ruan Lizi died?" Xu Zhimiao was stunned. "Why was it so sudden?"

"Fortunately, my sister-in-law did not go to the Xu Mansion. Otherwise, if they threw this dirty water on your head, it would be hard to say what would happen." Mu Nian'an looked relieved.

"Uncle Mu, has Xu Panyue returned home?" Xu Zhimiao asked.

The housekeeper thought seriously for a while, then nodded, "He came back half an hour ago. He seemed to have hurried back to the mansion through the side door, secretly."

Xu Zhimiao pursed her lips and smiled, "It seems that the sudden death of Ruan Lizi is most likely related to Xu Zhimiao. Husband, let's go back home."

……

Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, West Courtyard

Xu Panyue sat on the chair with a dazed look on her face, while her maid Bai Lu stood beside her cautiously and tremblingly, not daring to say a word.

She also didn't expect that when she accompanied the young lady back to the Xu Mansion, she would encounter the death of the lady.

At this moment, Bai Lu was still nervous, flustered, and afraid.

But Mother Ge escaped the disaster.

"Bai Lu, where is Mother Ge?" Xu Panyue looked around but did not see Mother Ge. She asked in a deep voice,

Bai Lu shook her head, "I don't know. After I came back with the young lady, I didn't see Madam Ge."

"You cunting slave!" Xu Panyue gnashed her teeth, "I really gave her face! But she actually acted so hypocritically towards me!"

"Go! Go find her for me! I want to see what she has been doing behind my back while I'm not here!"

"Yes, yes!" Bai Lu responded quickly.

As soon as I stepped out of the door, I ran into Mother Ge.

"Mother Ge, the young lady is looking for you! Where have you been?" Bai Lu asked anxiously.

Mother Ge did not answer her, but hurried to Xu Panyue's side, "Young Madam, this servant..."

"Pa!" Before she could finish her words, she was slapped hard by Xu Panyue.

Xu Panyue stared at her with a sinister and cold face, "Slut, tell me! What did you do behind my back? Don't think that I will let you go just because you are my old servant!"

"Young Madam, I dare not!" Mother Ge knelt down with a plop, looking aggrieved, "I am loyal to you, Madam, and I have no second thoughts!"

"Tell me! Where have you been? Why haven't I seen you since I returned home? Also, what about what I asked you to do? Did you do it?"

"Where is my husband? Where is he?"

Xu Panyue was very angry, her face turned ashen and her eyes were like fireballs, glaring at Mother Ge fiercely.

Mother Ge felt wronged! Her cheeks were burning with pain, but she dared not show it.

Who made her just a lowly servant?

"Madam, the eldest master... has not returned home." She said cautiously.

"What did you say?!" Xu Panyue was shocked, "You haven't returned home yet?"

It's already past noon, and Mu Yiwen hasn't returned home yet?

Where did he go? What did he do?

Who will accompany her to Xu's house to attend the funeral?

"Do you have something to talk to me about?" Mu Yiwen's cold voice came from the door.
