Seeing the endless coldness in Fu Mingchi's eyes, Ji Ningxi was so scared that his face turned pale and he quickly knelt on the ground.
"Brother-in-law, I didn't know it was you." Ji Ningxi said in a trembling voice: "I thought..."
"I really don't deserve to be called brother-in-law, Second Miss." Glancing at the group of uninvited guests, Fu Mingchi's eyes grew even colder. "Since you don't like living, then I will grant you a way to die."
He casually snapped his fingers, and suddenly saw many secret guards appearing from all directions and surrounding the house.
"Everyone who breaks into Mu Cang Zhai today will be dragged away and dealt with thoroughly."
Hearing Fu Mingchi's resolute words, everyone in the room was so scared that their legs and feet went numb.
"Brother-in-law, I did this all for you."
Ji Ningxi crawled forward crying: "I'm really worried that my elder sister will do something to let you down."
"Shut up."
Fu Mingchi glanced at Ji Ningxi fiercely.
Aunt Zheng quickly knelt down, trembling, and looked at Ye Wanshu for help. "Miss, I only barged in for the sake of your reputation. Xuan'er is devoted to you, you can't be so heartless."
Ye Wanshu sighed helplessly, too lazy to say anything more to the two of them, and hid her head directly in Fu Mingchi's arms.
Immediately afterwards, the secret guards stepped forward without hesitation and dragged out Ji Ningxi, Aunt Zheng and several servants who had broken in.
The entire Mu Cangzhai suddenly became quiet, and not even a sound could be heard. The group of people disappeared silently in Ji's mansion, as if they had evaporated from the face of the earth.
At this time, in the central courtyard, Aunt Sun was leading people to Mucangzhai. When they were about to reach Mucangzhai, they suddenly saw Ji Ningxuan being chased by several female servants.
"What does Aunt Sun want to do?" Ji Ningxuan asked dissatisfiedly.
"Third Miss, I heard that someone broke into the mansion and was afraid that the eldest lady would be hurt, so I came here on purpose." Aunt Sun answered anxiously.
"What nonsense are you talking about, Aunt Sun?" Ji Ningxuan raised her eyebrows. "The mansion is heavily guarded. Who would dare to break in?"
Aunt Sun was unwilling to give in: "Third Miss, your second sister and my mother have already taken people over. If someone really broke in, we should go and take a look before we can rest assured."
"Auntie Sun is in such a hurry to go over there. Is it to reassure me or does she have some other motive?"
Ji Ningxuan slowly walked to her side and lowered her voice: "In the Prime Minister's residence, who would dare to trespass? Big sister is not stupid, can't Aunt Sun guess this?"
Aunt Sun immediately had a guess: "Could it be that Prince Yongning has returned?"
"I didn't say anything." Ji Ningxuan said, "If Aunt Sun wants to live in peace with Fourth Sister, it's better to keep her mind simple."
Looking in the direction of Mu Cang Zhai, Aunt Sun felt a chill down her spine: "Then Aunt Zheng and the Second Miss..."
Thinking of his mother, Ji Ningxuan rubbed his eyebrows helplessly.
The young lady kept making mistakes, and as her daughter, she had no choice but to be cruel.
Otherwise, she would have no way to survive.
"Take care of your own business." Ji Ningxuan reminded: "Auntie Sun is a smart person. You know better than me that the arm cannot bend the thigh."
Aunt Sun responded several times, and did not dare to think about Mu Cang Zhai anymore. She went back home with the maid beside her.
Ji Ningxuan just silently looked in the direction of Mu Cang Zhai, and led people back to her own courtyard.
The house returned to peace, as if nothing had happened.
In Mucangzhai, Ye Wanshu had someone prepare hot water. After bathing and changing clothes with Fu Mingchi, Ye Wanshu thought about what had just happened. Fu Mingchi gently reminded her, "Killing is not good, and I don't want my Wan'er to have blood on her hands. But once you reach the top, learning to kill is often the best way to protect yourself."
As the Northern Expedition was imminent, what worried him most was Wan'er, fearing that she would not be able to cope with the complicated situation in Lin'an City.
Holding her waist tightly, Fu Mingchi put his face close to her ear and said in a deep voice, "For those people with ulterior motives like those in the mansion, killing one person is better than you painstakingly trying to persuade a hundred people."
In this regard, Ye Wanshu is naturally not as ruthless and experienced as Fu Mingchi.
After all, she didn't grow up in a den of tigers and wolves, and her grandmother was kind by nature. She was never willing to kill anyone unless it was absolutely necessary.
But Fu Mingchi's words today reminded her that she should learn to change, because in the future she will not be the carefree little girl in Tongyang City, she will be the princess of Yongning Palace, the future crown princess of Daye Dynasty, and even the mother of the country.
If she wants to help His Majesty and Fu Mingchi clear up the world and revive Daye, she must learn to be ruthless.
Turning her head, Ye Wanshu lightly kissed his graceful lips: "Fu Mingchi, I will do my best to be your princess."
"My Wan'er is getting better as she can be." Fu Mingchi said softly, but his eyes were filled with heartache.
He knew that this was not the life Wan'er wanted, so he secretly vowed in his heart that he would quell the rebellion in the north as soon as possible, and then he would be able to accompany her back to Taowu in Yuezhou to live the life she longed for.
Thinking about the person who was about to be escorted back, Fu Mingchi pondered for a long time before finally asking, "Wan'er, how do you want to deal with that madman?"
Ye Wanshu closed her eyes and wanted to poke a thousand holes in his body, but so many people died because of him, killing him like this would be too easy for him.
Fu Mingchi always felt that Wan'er had unusual feelings for that madman, as if they had a grudge from a previous life. During the time they knew each other, everything she did seemed to be an attempt to escape from that man.
