Ximen Li started to be nervous after hearing that the one behind the scenes had come. This showed that they had captured enough women and were going to take some action.

She was not sure if there would be any unforeseen changes.

“Don’t worry, nothing will happen.” Si Yue comforted her.

“Mm.” Ximen Li tried to calm herself down but she couldn’t but tremble when she saw the others. She had hatred and anger in her eyes.

Si Yue glanced towards the entrance of the courtyard curiously after she saw her change. Other than the men, there was one lady that she hadn’t seen before.

“Do you know that lady wearing the mourning garments?” She asked.

Ximen Li clenched her fist and said through her gritted teeth, “I know her. I’d recognise her even if she turned to ashes!”

“Eh, seeing you act like this, you must have deep hatred for her!” Si Yue became curious, “Here, tell me, what happened? She looks like a fake holy and pure person, did she steal your crush?”

Ximen Li glared at her, “She destroyed my whole clan.”

Si Yue blanked for a second and came back to her senses, “Really! This is worse than stealing a crush. How did she destroy your whole clan? Do you want me to seek revenge for you?”

Ximen Li turned away and went back into the house before Zong Zheng Han Yue noticed her, as she couldn’t fight Zong Zheng Han Yue directly since Little Dough wasn’t awake yet and her poison had not been removed.

Zong Zheng Han Yue turned around as she sensed hatred but could only see Si Yue’s and another girl’s back view.

Seeing her back view, a trace of doubt flashed past her eyes.

“Check the goods.”

Zong Zheng Han Yue casually took a look at the girls and realised that the goods were good.

“Holy Daughter, Your honor, these girls are picked at your request.” A guy said, “A total of eight hundred and eighty eight people.”

Zong Zheng Han Yue nodded, “You did well, the higher ups will definitely reward you.”

She threw a jade bottle to him as she spoke and that guy accepted it contentedly after he saw what was inside the bottle, “Holy Daughter, Your Honor, should I send them to the usual place?”

“Mm.” Zong Zheng Han Yue nodded, “I don’t have to tell you what to do since this isn’t the first time, right?”

“No need! I remember!” That guy said eagerly.

“That’s good. You’ll lose your life if you make even a small mistake.” Zong Zheng Han Yue went back to the courtyard. She was prepared to leave when she saw the same back view and decided to walk towards Ximen Li’s room.

Although Ximen Li went back to her room, she continued to pay close attention to the situation. She saw Zong Zheng Han Yue leaving, but she heard footsteps before she could loosen up.

Her heart raced as fast as the footsteps.

The door was opened as she turned around in shock, Zong Zheng Han Yue smiled arrogantly when she saw her, “It’s you, Xi. Men. Li.”

Ximen Li was calm when she was found out.

“Zong Zheng Han Yue.”

“Holy Daughter, Your Honor, you know her?” That guy followed and asked carefully.

Did he catch Holy Daughter Your Honor’s friend? It better not be.
