Chapter 41 Xiao Su "You scared her."
A quarter of an hour later, Mu Xingchen walked out with her head down, looking disappointed. She walked up to Fengxue, raised her head, and said with a somewhat disappointed look, "Let's go, Sister Fengxue."
Feng Xue saw her expression and frowned, "What's wrong? Did he bully you?"
Mu Xingchen shook her head and quickly explained: "No, no, it's... I don't have enough spirit stones, it's too expensive..." She lowered her voice.
Feng Xue heaved a sigh of relief: "It's okay, it's just spirit stones, I have as many as you want."
Mu Xingchen's eyes lit up. So rich?
Although she was very happy in her heart, she remained calm and said, "It's too expensive, Sister Fengxue, I don't want it anymore. Let's go."
Fengxue smiled and said, "Wait a moment." Then she went straight into the store.
Mu Xingchen looked at her back, raised his head and gave a particularly strange smile.
Suddenly, she turned around in surprise. "Wow, the wind is so strong!" Then, she pulled off the veil covering her face. The veil fluttered in the wind, finally landing next to a nearby stall.
Mu Xingchen went to pick up the veil with a smile on her face.
She counted down in her mind.

The next second, someone in the crowd shouted towards Mu Xingchen, "Miss Mu!!! It's Miss Mu!!!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone became agitated, and some people even picked up the albums in their hands and started comparing them.
“It’s her, it’s her!!!”
"The eldest lady of the Mu family!!!"
"Look, it's really the eldest daughter of the Mu family!!!"
"Quick, catch her! The Mu family has a reward!!!"
…
A swarm of people rushed towards Mu Xingchen, and by the time Fengxue realized something was wrong and ran out, it was too late.
Mu Xingchen was now firmly squeezed into the crowd.
It was a hot summer day and everyone was covered in sweat. At the moment, they were crowded together, and the smell of sweat and feet mixed together, making Mu Xingchen want to vomit.
"Damn it! What a bad idea! I should have thought of some decent way earlier." Mu Xingchen gritted his teeth and complained to Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qi said mercilessly: "Persistence is victory!" Fortunately, she couldn't smell it.
The next second, the wind and snow dispersed the crowd. She rushed over, grabbed Mu Xingchen's sleeve, and said coldly, "Let's go."
"Dengdengdeng——" The sound of horse hooves came from all directions.
Mu Xingchen curled the corners of his mouth slightly. The Mu family is quite fast.
Fengxue listened to the sound of horse hooves and frowned. Fighting the Mu family at this moment wasn't a good option, but...
She turned her head and said to Mu Xingchen firmly: "Don't worry, if you don't want to go back, I won't let the Mu family take you away."
Mu Xingchen was stunned. She subconsciously said, "Sister Fengxue, I was going home anyway. It's... my family doesn't know I'm at home?"
The wind and snow were silent, so of course they didn't know.
"Do you want to go back to the Mu family?" she asked with pursed lips, her tone obviously a little cold.
Mu Xingchen pretended not to understand and nodded without hesitation, "Of course I have to go back. That's my home."
Fengxue's brows were furrowed tighter and tighter. At this moment, the numerous horse hooves had already surrounded him tightly.
"Whoa——" The horse stopped in front.
I can't leave.
Feng Xuesong frowned: "Then go." Since the master didn't give the order, she wouldn't take her away by force.
At this moment, a burly man in silver armor dismounted from his reddish-brown horse. He slowly approached Mu Xingchen, squinting his eyes as he surveyed her from head to toe before coldly demanding, "Miss Mu, how did you end up here?"
Mu Xingchen looked at him with some fear. She said timidly, "I, I came out from home to buy... to buy something."
The man frowned, his face unfriendly, and his tone coldly asked, "Home? You mean, you've been at the Mu family all the time?"
Mu Xingchen nodded fearfully.
The man chuckled sarcastically, his bronze eyes twitching slightly, creating an oppressive feeling. He stood exactly one meter away from her. Even on such a scorching summer day, his silver armor gave her a sharp chill. The sunlight seemed blocked by him, not a single bit of warmth getting through.
He continued to look at her and said, "Miss Mu has been back for a long time, but no one in the Mu family has noticed. Miss Mu is really capable."
Mu Xingchen shook her head anxiously, denying it. "No, no. I, I went back through a dog hole..." As if realizing that this was not a good way to put it, Mu Xingchen quickly shut up. But it was obviously too late. As soon as she finished speaking, endless laughter rang out around her.
The man walked up to her and looked down at her with a cold and condescending look. The people around him fell silent instantly.
Fengxue stood in front of Mu Xingchen and said coldly, "You scared her."
The man's gaze moved towards Fengxue. He glanced at her up and down, and finally his eyes fixed on her pupils.
Those dark brown pupils were filled with disgust towards him, their eyes were sharp and cold, filled with absolute malice.
Xiao Su curled his lips and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"
Just as Fengxue was about to answer him, Mu Xingchen calmly grabbed Fengxue's sleeve and explained, "I was surrounded by those people just now, and it was this sister who rescued me. She's a good person."
The man continued to look at Fengxue and asked slowly, "Really?"
Feng Xue sneered: "Whether it is or not, what does it have to do with you?"
"Heh." The man sneered, "The Mu family asked me to find someone, so it naturally has something to do with me." He turned his head and asked oppressively, "Miss Mu, tell me, is that right?"
"Don't scare her," Feng Xue said coldly. "Instead of meddling in other people's affairs, the general should focus on his own affairs. The famous General Zhenyuan, who spent all day doing nothing but being a dog to the Mu family, is now like a dog, following the scent to find someone. It's a really good mood, General."
As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings fell silent.
Everyone looked at Fengxue, shocked by the woman's courage. Some even covered their eyes to avoid seeing her head fall to the ground.
Mu Xingchen immediately started gossiping, "Xiao Qi, who is this guy? Feng Xue calls him General. What's his background?"
Xiao Qi had already finished reading her memoirs. She explained, "He is Xiao Su, the Great General of Zhenyuan, commanding over 400,000 troops in the north. He is one of the most important disciples of the Imperial Master and is employed by him."
Mu Xingchen was shocked. How could the Imperial Tutor's Mansion be so powerful?
No, isn’t the emperor here afraid?
"Puff." The man suddenly laughed, a crack on his bronze face. It was extremely strange. His smile was like a puppet, as if he had not learned how to laugh normally. After a moment, he retracted his smile and said slowly: "I haven't heard such words in a long time. Girl, you are very brave."
Fengxue looked at him with disdain. Humans are not good people, especially those who lead troops to war.
Xiao Su changed the subject: "However, the girl seems to have a close relationship with Miss Mu. What you said just now was to speak up for Miss Mu?" The man narrowed his eyes and stared at Feng Xue, as if he wanted to stare a skull out of her.
Feng Xue sneered, "No, I just admire your talent and feel sorry for you. I can't stand people bullying the weak. Please forgive me, General."
Mu Xingchen behind her twitched her lips. How could she not know that Fengxue would also tell lies to others?
There was silence all around, and seeing the atmosphere tense, Mu Xingchen immediately came to the rescue, "Um, sister, didn't you say you had something to do later?"
Fengxue understood what she meant. She nodded and said in a gentle tone, "Well, I'll be leaving first."
A gleam flashed in Xiao Su's eyes, and he curled the corners of his lips slightly and said, "I originally wanted to invite the young lady to the general's mansion for a cup of tea, but it seems that it is not a good time."
Fengxue didn't even look at him and turned away.
Xiao Su's lips curled slightly, and a hint of interest flashed in his eyes as he looked at her back.
