A place of one's own

  "Is it taken care of?" The handsome man slowly spoke up as soon as the man fell into the room.

  "Yes, tonight there were 48 people who offended Miss Mu with their eyes, and all of them had their eye corners dug out. As for Miss Bai from the White family, it seems someone was one step ahead of us. Miss Bai's limbs were disabled, and she was stabbed once more, her tongue cut off."

  "A hundred miles of connected cities." Chu Ye's first thought was of him: "Go, check what the third king of Northern Zhou has been up to recently."

  He, that wild and arrogant man, looked at the woman with a gaze that seemed to pierce through everything. No one was allowed to peek, not even his fiancée! Even if they got married, he would still take her back!

  Dividing line

  Chen Xiang pushed Lan Ya from the back door to return to the mansion, the entire Mu Mansion was quiet without a single movement. Now that it's already nighttime, if it were usually this quiet it wouldn't be unusual, but today is the Zheng Yuan Lantern Festival, and it's so quiet that it feels unusual.

  Calmness is a prelude to a storm, perhaps now Mu Zhihang and her group are waiting in that small courtyard.

  "Miss, shall we run?" Just after entering through the back door, Chen Xiang's heart was no longer calm.

  "Run?" Lan Ya turned her head upon hearing this and saw Chen Xiang's expression, almost laughing out loud. With a hint of amusement in the corners of her eyes, she asked: "What are you running from?"

  "Miss, today's matter will surely be exposed, if the master finds out, he'll definitely beat us to death." Chen Xiang's face was anxious, thinking of the master's face made her tremble.

  Lan Ya knew that Chen Xiang was afraid of Mu Zhihang, so she reached out and patted her arm: "Don't worry, I've got everything under control."

  Chen Xiang stared at Lan Ya for half a moment, warmth spreading through his heart, nodded, and pushed Lan Ya towards the small courtyard.

  A secluded courtyard, which had been deserted for a long time, was brightly lit tonight.

  "You shameless woman still have the face to come back." Dong Yue, with sharp eyes, saw Lan Ya's figure and scolded her.

  "Madam, you said so yourself. I am the second miss of the Mu Manor, why can't I return?" Lan Ya's mouth was curved with a smile, her tone was light, but there was a hint of sharpness mixed in.

  "Hmph, Second Miss of the Mu Manor? You still remember that you're the Second Miss of the Mu Manor. The other day, that man had his legs crippled and he's still not behaving himself. Now he's out again, causing trouble, it's simply a slap in the face for our Mu Manor!" Dong Yue's hand almost pointed to Lan Ya's nose tip, her words pouring out in a long string, making Lan Ya's smiling face even more radiant.

  Mu Zhihang stood behind her, glaring at Lan Ya with a face full of anger. Mu Leqing crossed her arms over her chest, looking at Lan Ya with contempt and jealousy, envying her face!

  Lan Ya's eyes swept around the people, her gaze returned, and her smile deepened. She raised her hand to push away Dong Yue's finger pointing at her nose tip, saying softly: "I don't like being pointed at by others."

  "I don't like being pointed at, but today I'm going to point at you." Dong Yue's hand, which had been pushed away, once again pointed at Lan Ya, and this time poked more aggressively at her forehead.

  Lan Ya's smile didn't diminish: "I said it before, I don't like being pointed at by others."

  As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her hand and grabbed Dong Yue's fingers, exerting a slight force, "crack" sounded, the sound of bones breaking was crisp.

  Today, she's going to make a name for herself here. You really think she's an easy target, huh? Well, I'll let you try, see who explodes first!
