Your Highness, please stop chasing me.

Chapter 28 Please start your performance

At this moment, the seemingly innocent and virtuous Mu Jiaojiao stepped forward again. She reached out and grabbed Wang Xin'er's hand, saying, "Sister, how could you humiliate Sister Wang like this? You..."

Before she could finish speaking, Wang Xin'er abruptly shook off her hand and said angrily, "Don't pretend, you're all in cahoots, you're all bullying me!"

Mu Xue: Sister, how do we even begin to accuse this group?

Mu Jiaojiao's face flushed red and then turned pale as she was shaken off, but she quickly composed herself and said aggrievedly, "Sister Wang, how could you say that to me? My sister is a bit domineering in the manor, but she doesn't mean any harm. Please forgive her, Sister Wang."

You can act, you can act, I'll just watch and won't say a word.

If there were sunflower seeds and a chair, it would be perfect.

She thought to herself, but didn't show it on her face.

Seeing that no one had comforted her after she had talked for so long, Mu Jiaojiao looked around suspiciously. Then, she exclaimed in surprise, "Where is everyone? Why is everyone gone?"

Shi Hua, who was following behind and watching her young mistress's performance, whispered, "Reporting to Miss, they've all left. They dispersed when you mentioned Fifth Miss. Miss Wang has already entered the Treasure Pavilion." After saying that, she subtly took a step back, creating some distance between them.

The injury from last time hasn't healed yet, and this time Shi Shu's wound got infected, so she can't get out of bed and has to do it herself.

Mu Jiaojiao glared angrily at Mu Xue, all because of that little bitch who made her look bad.

Mu Xue hadn't expected that Wang Xin'er and Mu Jiaojiao weren't in cahoots.

Thinking back to the past, when the original owner was chasing after Mo Shijie, she encountered Wang Xin'er a few times. Back then, Wang Xin'er was really rude to the original owner.

I never expected that they would let me off so easily today.

Mu Xue was already prepared to argue with her for a while.

Noticing Mu Jiaojiao glaring at her, she retorted without hesitation, "What are you glaring at me for? To make your eyes look bigger? If you glare again, I'll gouge them out!" As she spoke, she made a gouging motion with two fingers.

Coupled with her sinister tone, Mu Jiaojiao shuddered and quickly retreated, keeping a distance from her.

The guard at the gate touched his arm, feeling a strange chill. He wondered if this Miss Mu was working for the underworld.

Mu Xue: Hehe, buddy, you're overthinking it.

Seeing that Mu Xue hadn't suffered any loss, Zong Hua didn't go over.

He waved to Mu Xue, nodded in acknowledgment, and then turned and left. There were too many people around; it was best not to cause her any trouble.

Mo Shijie's carriage arrived at that moment, and coincidentally stopped right in front of Mu Xue.

Mo Shijie stood on the carriage shaft, looking down at Mu Xue.

Although he didn't like the Mu Xue of the past, he had to admit that she was now radiant and attracted his attention. Whenever she was around, he always wanted to look at her.

"Brother Mo, my sister made Sister Wang angry. But I think she didn't mean it," Mu Jiaojiao said in a coquettish voice.

Upon seeing Mo Shijie, she immediately transformed into a butterfly and flew towards him.

A hint of disgust flashed in Mo Shijie's eyes, but he smiled gently and said, "Jiaojiao, don't run, watch your step."

When Mu Jiaojiao lunged at him, he subtly blocked her, preventing her from getting close.

Hearing Mo Shijie's gentle tone, Mu Jiaojiao smiled shyly and said, "Thank you for your concern, Brother Mo."

She thought to herself that Brother Mo must have been too busy with the affairs of the Prince Jing's mansion to send her the gift, so she would forgive him this time.

Seeing Mu Jiaojiao's expression, Mu Xue already guessed what she was thinking and found it amusing. She never expected that Mu Jiaojiao would be so love-struck!

The disgust in Mo Shijie's eyes was so obvious, yet she didn't notice it at all. It's hard to say whether that's something to be happy about or something to be sad about.

Mo Shijie didn't cause any trouble for Mu Xue today.

He didn't have the guts to cause trouble at the entrance of the Treasure Pavilion.

However, he will have it soon, as long as the plan succeeds.

He cupped his hands in greeting to Mu Xue and said gently, "Please forgive me, Fifth Miss. Jiao Jiao is young and doesn't know any better. If she has offended you in any way, I hope you will forgive her because she is your sister."

"Brother Mo, how could you say that to me?" Mu Jiaojiao looked at Mo Shijie in disbelief.

Mu Xue didn't respond; she wanted to see what Mo Shijie was really up to.

"Jiaojiao, listen to me. You and Miss Wu are sisters after all. Don't make a fuss." He tried to comfort her, but his tone was clearly impatient.

The two of them sang in unison, giving Mu Xue no chance to speak at all.

Mo Shijie gave Mu Jiaojiao a wink, and she reluctantly lowered her head to admit her mistake: "Sister, I know I was wrong."

"Oh? You know you're wrong? What did you do wrong?" Mu Xue wasn't going to let go of any opportunity to tear apart the mistress and the scheming woman.

She wouldn't mind toying with the scumbag couple before avenging the original owner of the body.

"Miss, you'd better stop now," Mo Shijie advised.

Although he now loathed Mu Jiaojiao, his father's cooperative relationship with An Rudie was still in place, and his relationships in the capital still depended on her wishes. Mu Jiaojiao was also a crucial pawn, and he couldn't let her be bullied too much.

The message that came back said that Mu Qinghe and Mu Feng would arrive in the capital tomorrow.

Ultimately, Mu Xue is Mu Qinghe's legitimate daughter and the biological sister of Mu Feng and his three brothers.

Mo Shijie thought a lot at this moment. He and Mu Xue were still engaged. Now she was no longer stupid. As long as she could obediently listen to him, the power behind Mu Xue would also be used to his advantage.

Thinking of this, Mo Shijie looked at Mu Xue with excitement and a strong sense of possessiveness, as if Mu Xue was already his possession.

Mu Xue felt uneasy under that look; she thought it was the look of a creepy old man.

She showed no respect for Mo Shijie, and retorted, "Who do you think you are, pointing fingers at me like that?"

Mo Shijie's face turned pale from the rebuke, and he was furious.

"Fifth Miss should go back to her old nanny and learn proper etiquette and manners, so as not to lose face in front of important people in the future," Mo Shijie advised, not wanting her to embarrass herself when he took her to banquets in the future.

Mo Shijie had clearly come to regard Mu Xue as his possession.

"Thank you for your time, but you should think about our engagement. When do you plan to call it off?" Mu Xue said impatiently.

This big bad wolf is such a show-off. If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, I would have loved to kick him in the face.

"Our engagement was arranged by my mother and Princess Shengping. It's not something you can just cancel. This matter can only be decided after General Mu returns." Mo Shijie's tone was dangerous. He hadn't expected her to be so eager to break off the engagement.

"Xue'er, there's been a misunderstanding between us. How about I take you boating on the lake tomorrow? We can clear things up then. I'll treat you better from now on," Mo Shijie said narcissistically.

Mu Xue used to chase after him everywhere, showing her special affection for him. He thought that as long as he coaxed her, everything would be fine. But now, Mu Xue must be angry with him because he was too good to Mu Jiaojiao.

Looking at Mo Shijie's smug expression and narcissistic tone, Mu Xue couldn't help but feel nauseous, and she actually vomited.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't help it," Mu Xue said to Mo Shijie.

She looked him up and down, then said, "Young Master Mo, a brain is a good thing. Please remember to bring it with you next time you go out."

After saying that, she ignored the expressions of the two people behind her and went straight into the Treasure Pavilion, heading straight for the private room on the third floor. She was afraid that if she talked to Mo Shijie a few more times, she would lose control and kill him right now.
