After leaving the city gate and galloping westward for about 20 miles, Qin Yuanyi shouted, "Whoa..."

The meteor stopped and Qin Yuanyi got off the horse: "We're here, get off," and reached out to carry Mu Chu down.

Mu Chu looked at his current location, which was at the foot of a mountain. There was a small stream flowing, and the light was faint in the moonlight.

Mu Chu walked to the river and squatted, wanting to see if there were any small fish in it, he saw twinkling lights flying out of the woods. At first he couldn't see clearly, but after waiting for a while, when the golden light floated over, Mu Chu realized that it was a large number of fireflies, like a sky full of stars.

Fireflies were circling around Mu Chu. Mu Chu was immersed in the starry sky and ran over happily to catch one. Taxue followed him at some point. The man and the fox were running in the grass by the river. Finally, they found that the fireflies would go out as soon as they caught them, so they gave up and sat by the river to rest.

Qin Yuanyi leaned against a tree by the river, watching her playing quietly. Seeing Mu Chu panting from exhaustion, Qin Yuanyi called her, "Chu'er, are you having fun?"

Mu Chu nodded repeatedly: "Yeah, it's so beautiful, why are there so many fireflies?"

Qin Yuanyi pretended to be mysterious and said, "Of course, Wang Xing was asked to catch him."

Mu Chu felt a little sympathetic towards Wang Xing: "It must have taken a lot of effort to catch so many fireflies."

Qin Yuanyi saw that she believed it, so he spoke again: "I won't tease you anymore. It's always been like this here. I just discovered it by accident."

When they were tired of playing, they rode back on their horses, running around in the snow in front of the horses.

It was already late at night when the two returned home. Xiao Tao was still waiting for Mu Chu in the yard. When she saw Mu Chu, she complained again: "Miss, it's so cold at night, why don't you come back earlier? What if you catch a cold?"

Mu Chu looked at Xiao Tao and smiled, "The housekeeper is starting over again. Aren't I good enough? I know it's cold but you're still waiting in the yard. Let's go in and go to bed."

Then he said goodbye to Qin Yuanyi: "Uncle, you should go to bed early too." Then he went into the house to sleep.

Qin Yuanyi waved at her: "Go ahead," and then turned and walked towards his own yard.

Wang Xing whispered, "Sir, I went to the river to look for it. The lamp was indeed taken away by the Third Prince. Should I send someone to get it back?"

Qin Yuanyi waved his hand: "No need to go, it's too late, just wait and see what happens."

Wang Xing frowned, "But sir, given the Third Prince's temperament, what happened tonight will definitely attract his attention. The Third Prince is a well-known lecher. Miss Chu'er's stunning appearance alone will make it hard for her not to attract the Third Prince's attention. Why don't we send Miss back to Kongling Mountain?"

Qin Yuanyi shook his head: "No, I can't leave the capital now. No one can protect her in Kongling Mountain. Do you remember what Gu Qing said when he came back from Nanxiao last time? That poisonous insect was used by Jinghua Shuiyue to find people.

If this is true, Chu'er must have some connection with them. According to my eldest brother, I was sent back by my eldest sister-in-law, but my eldest sister-in-law's origins are very mysterious and he is not very clear about them. Perhaps Chu'er's assassination is related to my eldest sister-in-law.

If Chu'er's mother is really the one in Mirror Flower and Water Moon, then the Emperor of Nanxiao will definitely not let Chu'er go."

Wang Xing was surprised after hearing this: "Then Sir, are you going to tell Miss Chu'er your identity?"

Qin Yuanyi shook his head: "It's not the right time yet, don't let her know about these things for the time being."

Wang Xing nodded and said, "Sir, are you worried that if Miss knows, she will not live in our house?"

Qin Yuanyi didn't say anything, which was considered as his tacit consent.

What Mu Chu didn't know was that this matter was far more serious than he had imagined. Early the next morning, someone came to the Qin Mansion and said that the old lady wanted Chu'er to come over.

Xiao Tao was a little scared: "Miss, why don't we not go? What if the old lady and the others bully you again? Now the master is gone, and no one can take care of you."

Mu Chu was not afraid, but some things had to be faced sooner or later. Some grudges had to be avenged, and how could a blood feud be let go? She couldn't just hide here and live a peaceful life. She also hoped to find evidence and the murderer of her father through contact with these people.

So I said to Xiao Tao: "It's okay, pack up and let's go."
