Chapter 23 (1/2)

You He and Hua Yue exchanged looks and hurriedly followed after Mu Lianrong.

Logically speaking, they were Mu Qingge’s maids and were supposed to stop Mu Lianrong from barging into her room, even if Mu Lianrong was their master’s biological aunt. However, they were also worried about their master’s situation, so they silently agreed with Mu Residence’s Ms. Chang’s actions.

Behind You He and Hua Yue, the eyes of the girl in white turned from looking concerned to nonchalant, and back to worried again, as she brought her servant and hurriedly followed the crowd.

“Naughty boy! Open the door for your aunt! Do you hear me?” Mu Lianrong came to the tightly shut door and raised her hands to violently bang on it.

However, there was no reaction at all from inside the room.

At this point, Mu Lianrong became even more worried as her tone became more serious. “Naughty boy, if you don’t open the door, I’ll beat you up until your buttocks turn red.”

There was still no response.

You He and Hua Yue felt even more worried.

Logically speaking, even if Little Lord was having a deep sleep, he would be awoken by Ms. Chang’s ruckus. Besides, Little Lord had always been afraid of Ms. Chang, so hearing her voice would make Little Lord roll all the way to the door to open it. However, the knocks had gone on for quite a while, but the room was still quiet.

Seng!

The sword was unsheathed.

The increasingly anxious Mu Lianrong seemed to have decided on breaking the door.

However, when Mu Lianrong held the sword and was about to slash the door, a faint ‘kacha’ could be heard from inside the room.

The door’s gap gradually widened and revealed a thin figure.

“Aunt Mu, Brother Mu is out!” The girl in white moved quickly and stopped Mu Lianrong’s hand that was holding the sword; her innocent features were emotional.

Actually, without her doing so, Mu Lianrong would not slash the door as she was standing right in front of it. The moment Mu Qingge appeared, Mu Lianrong was the first person to see her clearly.

However, she did not say much about that girl in white’s movement. She only glanced at the girl and kept her sword.

“Little Lord!”

“Little Lord, why are your clothes wet?”

Hua Yue and You He ran to Mu Ge in surprise, and stood beside her on her left and right. The latter was more meticulous and noticed Mu Ge’s weird appearance.

At this time, Mu Ge was not in a good state and she had no energy in her body, with her pale skin. Her clothes were long drenched by her sweat and became crumpled.

Her face did not look any better.
