When Xi Men Ren heard these words, his gaze turned cold. Then, he said coldly, ”Zi Yun, don't worry. I will send someone over tomorrow. You must kill that old thief to avenge you.”

”No, no, Young Master, I just want you to come personally, because if you were the one who avenged me, I would be able to completely put my heart at ease. Although Zi Yun is a worldly woman, he still knows a bit about tutoring.” However, Zi Yuan already had a plan in mind, so he said this.

”Alright, I'll go personally tomorrow. However, don't you worry, I won't let him see me.” Xi Men Ren agreed immediately after hearing what Zi Yuan said. No matter what Zi Yuan said, he could not refuse.

As for Zi Yuan, after discussing some countermeasures with Xi Men Ren, he returned to the Prime Minister's residence. Mo Feng had returned early, while Zi Yuan was already sprinkling water in the garden.

”Ziyun, your performance these few days has been quite good. If you have any requests, tell me. I will definitely allow it.”

Due to the performance of the Violet Garden these past few days, Mo Feng had long been interested in it. He felt that this woman was truly not bad. At this moment, he was actually trying to make the Violet Garden submit by giving her a sweet taste.

However, Zi Yuan said, ”Sir, I, Zi Yun, am truly grateful for the Prime Minister's kindness. For him to be able to give Zi Yun a place to settle down, I cannot thank him enough. How can he have so many requests?”

After speaking, the Violet Garden bowed slightly, but deliberately revealed a hesitant expression. Since Mo Feng was able to become Prime Minister, he naturally had a hint of understanding. At that moment, Mo Feng saw the expression on his face.

Thus, Mo Feng said in a heroic tone, ”Zi Yun, do you have something that's hard to say? Tell me about it.”

”Ai, it's best if we don't bother the prime minister. This young lady's life is already extremely fortunate to be able to work here for the prime minister. How could I ask for anything else?” Zi Yuan continued to pretend to be pitiful as he spoke.

”Don't worry. You have the guts to say that if something were to happen to you while you were here, it would only be natural for me to stand up for you.” Mo Feng said heroically.

When Zi Yuan saw Mo Feng say this, she knew that Mo Feng had already taken the bait, so she blurted out, ”Sir, you are so loyal, and this little girl is truly convinced. The matter is like this, earlier, when I was still in my future as an assistant minister's house, Young Master Xi Men took a fancy to me and wanted me to marry her.

At this moment, the Violet Garden wanted to blame Ximen Ren. That was one of their thoughts. In the Violet Garden's plan, Ximen Ren could be considered to be an extremely important person.

”Oh? To think that there would be such a thing, he was simply a scoundrel. ”Don't worry. When I return tomorrow from burning incense at the stone temple, I will seek justice for you!”

”T-this isn't good. Lord Vice Minister of Rites, if news of you helping a maid spreads out, although Zi Yun knows that you're a good person, other people wouldn't do such a thing?”

When Mo Feng heard that the Violet Garden was thinking for him in such a manner, he couldn't help but have a better impression of her. Thus, he said, ”Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Alright, you can continue working on it. I'll come see you tomorrow.”

Mo Feng turned around and left after saying that, while in his heart Mo Feng was thinking, ”Tomorrow after I take care of Xi Men Ren, I'll talk to you again. If that's the case, even if you have a thousand reasons, you won't dare to reject me, not to mention I'm only the official minister in charge of the government, but everyone knows that all the officials in the world belong to me. A mere Xi Men Ren is nothing in my eyes.”

On the second day, Mo Feng called for a servant to go to the West City Temple to burn some incense in the early morning, which was a habit of Mo Feng's. He would go to the West City Temple once a month to burn incense to pray that he could continue to be strong in the West Kingdom of Li, and that was only on the surface. He had to show it to others and tell them that his heart was devoted to Buddha, that he was a benefactor, and that was what the outside world thought.

On the other side, Ximen Ren had long since brought his men to ambush them. When he saw that the Prime Minister's sedan had already arrived, he called out, ”Get on.”

Following which, a group of masked men immediately rushed over. With a bang, the leader of the masked men took the lead and stabbed out one of Mo Feng's subordinates. After that, Mo Feng's subordinate reacted and shouted, ”There is an assassin, protect the Prime Minister!” Soon after, Mo Feng's closest two bodyguards actually simultaneously drew their swords and rushed over. Behind them, there was someone who had yet to move! These three people were Mo Feng's personal guards, and this was also the reason why the Violet Garden had never dared to make a move. Because the Violet Garden knew how powerful these three people were, she could only use wits to stop them!

However, Zi Yuan had been watching from the sidelines the entire time. He knew that Xi Men Ren was destined not to succeed this time, and she had never thought of letting Xi Men Ren kill Mo Feng like this, because Xi Men Ren's father was Xi Men Qing!

She was also one of the people that the Violet Garden wanted to kill. She was just sitting back and watching the fight, enjoying the benefits of the situation. When he saw how brave the two of them were, and also knew that his plan had failed. Just as he was about to turn around and flee, Zi Yuan took out a concealed weapon and stabbed at his black mask as if he was piercing through the air.

When Mo Feng opened the curtain and saw that it was Xi Men Ren who had attempted to assassinate him, he slapped his palanquin fiercely. ”Good, good. Xi Men Ren, you actually dared to attack me.

Following which, Mo Feng bellowed, 'Capture that thief alive for me!' Indeed, although Prime Minister Mo Feng was the Minister of Rites, Ximen Ren's father was also a Minister in the imperial court. Moreover, he had rebelled with him. He could not kill him that easily.

Thus, Mo Feng didn't have the leader number to kill without mercy and said he would capture them alive. With such a scheming mind, he would kill two birds with one stone. It could be seen that this Minister of Rites wasn't for nothing.

How could a good-for-nothing like Xi Men Ren defend against this menacing personal guard? He was immediately grabbed by the two of them, one arm in each hand, and after he failed to break free, Xi Men Ren knew that he was facing a great calamity.
