4 RETURNING TO MU CLAN RESIDENCE (1/2)
When Mu Lingxi and her huge cat Janus arrived at the entrance of their Mu clan's courtyard, the sun already sets at the west and the moon was now shining brightly at the dark night sky. Stars started to appear one after another. The gate was tightly closed and there were two muscular men standing guard at its entrance.
”Who are you and what business do you have with the Mu clan? The clan head is not available for the meantime so I suggest you better go back next time.” Said one of the guards without even giving her a glance.
It seems like they were instructed to turn down all of the guesses for today. Mu Lingxi don't know what to say. If she won't be able to enter the residence, where is she going to stay tonight?!!
”Err... cough..am I not allowed to enter my own residence?!” Mu Lingxi tried to imitate the Mu Lingxi in her memory.
She tried to intimidate the guards and it seems to work because when the guards finally look at her direction, they both stand there petrified.
” Y...you...young miss???” said one of the guard as if they cannot believe their eyes.
”Quick, go tell the clan head that young miss is back...and call the doctors” the guard instructed his colleague as he hurriedly walks towards Mu Lingxi.
”Please forgive this servant for my ignorance. We fail to recognize young miss.” Said the guard as he bows her head.

Mu Lingxi naturally doesn't know how to respond to this kind of formalities so she just nodded her head slightly. Soon dozen of people went out simultaneously and assisted Mu Lingxi as they go back inside the residence. She was well taken care of. As soon as she reached her room, there was already a hot bath waiting for her.
”Young miss, this servant will be staying just outside your room. If you will need anything just call me.” Mu Lingxi remembered this girl as Yanyan, her personal maid.
”Yanyan? I have something to ask you.” Yanyan was surprised. Her young miss never called her name even once, but she still answered respectfully. ” This servant will answer.”
”Tell me. Where is Mu Yanxiao? Where is she while I was away?”
”Young miss, lady Yanxiao just came back this morning. She was currently being treated by the house doctors as she came injured. She claimed to get ambushed while following you. Clan Head was so furious and worried for both of you that he sends out troops to look for you. They might be back this evening.” Yanyan answered without hiding anything. This maidservant knows that the two young miss has animosity to each other.
”Injured? Well played Yanxiao.” Mu Lingxi reminded herself about the scheming personality of this cousin of hers.
She must admit, Mu Yanxiao is really cunning. She even planned her alibi. Turning herself as a kind-hearted lady as she used to be. She makes it looks like that she was concerned for the well being of her willful cousin and followed Lingxi without minding her own safety. Putting all the blame to Mu Lingxi if anything bad happens. She might even anticipate the news of the death of Mu Lingxi tonight from the guards that were sent to search for her cousin.
Mu Lingxi was silent as she thinks to herself. Yanyan, on the other hand, observes her young miss and saw a different Mu Lingxi. It is the same feature, the same beauty that can cause a downfall of a nation. But the expression that she saw on Mu Lingxi's face was different.
