Qin Ruxue stormed out of her courtyard in a fit of rage.

The Lianhua sword in her hand hummed because of its master's boundless rage.

A faint crimson sword aura emanated from the ground, instantly shredding several innocent fallen leaves in the courtyard into dust.

The maids and servants in the mansion were terrified when they saw the Second Madam's appearance, which resembled a demon descended to earth.

Normally, although the Second Madam was strict, she was fair in her rewards and punishments and had never lost her composure like this before.

What's wrong with me today?

That strikingly beautiful face, so full of heroic spirit, was now flushed red as if it were burning, and the fury shooting from her phoenix eyes seemed capable of roasting a person alive.

"Lin—Mo—!"

Qin Ruxue gritted her teeth as she uttered the name.

Every word seemed to have been pulled from an ice cellar, yet it carried the heat of a volcanic eruption.

"Get out here!"

A furious roar echoed throughout half of Dingbei Prefecture.

The passing servant was startled and dropped the basin of water in his hand with a clatter, splashing water all over the ground.

They scrambled and crawled behind the artificial hill, not daring to breathe.

The entire Dingbei Prefecture.

Chaos erupted.

Qin Ruxue, sword in hand, first went to Lin Mo's residence, Tianxin Pavilion.

"Bang!"

She kicked open the door and rushed in, bringing with her a fragrant breeze and a murderous aura.

However, it was completely empty.

The bedding was neatly folded, the tea set on the table remained untouched, everything seemed so peaceful, so... ironic.

"They ran away?!"

Qin Ruxue gritted her teeth.

The breathtaking curves of his chest heaved violently with his rapid breathing.

You can run away from the monk, but you can't run away from the temple!

She turned around, drew her sword, and sped off in another direction.

The second goal.

The eldest sister, Su Qingyue's "Nongyue Pavilion".

Upon arriving at the courtyard gate, Qin Ruxue's raging anger seemed to be stopped by an invisible barrier.

She took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the murderous intent that was about to burst out of her body.

The eldest sister is pregnant and is the greatest contributor to the Lin family right now, as well as their future hope. We must not disturb her.

Qin Ruxue swiftly sheathed the Lianhua sword and straightened her slightly disheveled clothes.

He completely suppressed the murderous expression on his face, replacing it with a calm demeanor before entering.

"Big sister."

Su Qingyue was taking a nap on a recliner in the courtyard, covered with a thin blanket, her eyes radiating a gentle maternal glow.

I heard a sound.

Su Qingyue slowly opened her eyes and saw Qin Ruxue, a gentle smile appearing on her face.

"Oh, it's Second Sister. Why are you in such a hurry?"

"No...it's nothing."

Qin Ruxue's cheeks flushed uncontrollably, her eyes darting around, and she stammered as she asked:

"Big sister, have you... seen that guy Lin Mo?"

"My lord?"

Su Qingyue shook her head.

"He sent someone over early this morning with some medicine to help with the pregnancy, but I haven't seen him. What's wrong, Second Sister? Do you need to see him?"

"Something terrible has happened! It's extremely serious!"

Qin Ruxue got excited, and her voice rose another eight octaves.

But upon seeing Su Qingyue's concerned gaze, his momentum weakened, and he mumbled something.

"I... just have a score to settle with him!"

"A settlement?"

Su Qingyue looked at Qin Ruxue's expression, which was both angry and embarrassed, yet she couldn't say anything, and felt confused.

Seeing that Su Qingyue was indeed unaware of the situation, Qin Ruxue decided not to stay any longer and hurriedly took her leave.

As soon as she stepped out of the courtyard gate of Nongyue Pavilion, the calm she had been putting on instantly crumbled, and her murderous aura surged once more!

She went straight to the gate of the mansion and blocked the gatekeeper's way.

"I saw that bastard Lin..."

"Did you see the head of the family leave the manor?"

The gatekeeper trembled in fright and shook his head repeatedly, "Reporting to Second Madam, I...I didn't see the Master leave the house!"

They're still at the manor!

it is good!

very good!

A cold glint appeared in Qin Ruxue's eyes.

Today, even if she has to dig three feet into the ground in Dingbei Prefecture, she will find that bastard!

"Find it for me!"

"Search it courtyard by courtyard!"

For a moment, the entire Dingbei Prefecture echoed with Qin Ruxue's angry commands and the servants' panicked responses.

……

At this moment, the instigator of this riot was like a frightened rabbit, frantically fleeing through the complex corridors of Dingbei Prefecture.

"Oh my god! This is a disaster!"

Lin Mo ran while on the verge of tears.

He heard that scream, "I'm going to kill you!!!" clearly.

The murderous intent contained within him made him have no doubt that if he were caught, he would be torn to pieces by that little girl, Qin Ruxue.

He had wanted to savor the memory of his amazing dance from the night before, but he never expected the retribution to come so quickly.

"A miscalculation, a complete miscalculation!"

"A small note should be added after the dance score: 'This is just for marital fun; please do not take it seriously!'"

While complaining, Lin Mo was quickly thinking of a hiding place.

You can't go to Su Qingyue's place.

Qin Ruxue will definitely go there to look!

The courtyards of the other sisters-in-law are not safe either. What if they sell themselves?

In a flash, a figure appeared in his mind.

Third Sister-in-law, Liu Yiyi!

Correct!

It's her!

In Lin Mo's memory, this third sister-in-law was the most mysterious. She didn't talk much and was always quiet.

But those peach blossom eyes, which seemed to speak volumes, always seemed to be seeing through everything.

His intuition told him so.

This third sister-in-law is most likely to become his "accomplice"!

Having made up his mind, Lin Mo strode towards a rather elegant and secluded courtyard in Dingbei Prefecture—"Tingliu Pavilion".

As soon as you step inside, a faint scent of ink and sandalwood wafts towards you.

This courtyard was completely different from the boudoir he had imagined for a young woman's home.

There weren't many flowers and plants in the courtyard, only a few green bamboo stalks and a clear spring with a few red koi carp.

The door to the main room was open, and inside were not the usual dressing table and embroidery rack.

Instead, there was a huge bookcase against one wall and a large desk.

On the desk, stacks of books bound with silk thread were neatly arranged, and next to them was an exquisite jade abacus.

Hanging on the wall

It wasn't a painting of court ladies, but a huge map of the Xia Dynasty.

This place is practically the command center of a business empire.

At this moment, the owner of this "command room" was sitting at his desk, engrossed in reading a ledger.

Liu Yiyi.

She wore a very simple light green dress today.

Her long hair was tied up with a simple wooden hairpin, and her face, though without makeup, was still breathtakingly beautiful.

She was neither as gentle and dignified as Su Qingyue, nor as dashing and heroic as Qin Ruxue.

Her beauty.

It's a kind of allure that seeps into your very bones.

Even if she's just sitting there quietly, a casual glance up, a slight furrowing of her brow,

They all possess a natural charm that can easily steal a man's soul.

She was born with a seductive charm, and her reputation is well-deserved.

"Help! Third Sister-in-law!"

Lin Mo scrambled inside and slammed the door shut.

Liu Yiyi was startled by the sudden commotion and almost dropped the account book in her hand.

She raised her captivating peach blossom eyes, saw that it was Lin Mo, was taken aback at first, and then a knowing smile flashed in her eyes.

"Hey, isn't this our great hero? What's wrong with you looking like this?"

Her voice, soft and sweet with a touch of lazy magnetism, could melt your bones.

"Don't even mention it!"

Lin Mo looked grief-stricken.

"Third Sister-in-law, you have to save me!"

"Qin Ruxue has gone mad; she's trying to kill her husband!"

"Oh?"

Liu Yiyi put down the account book, a smile playing on her lips.

"To make my second sister this angry, you... dug up her family's ancestral graves?"

"It's much more serious than that!"

Lin Mo looked miserable. "I...I lied to her and danced."

Liu Yiyi's peach blossom eyes lit up instantly.

That curious and gossipy expression added even more vibrancy to her stunningly beautiful face.

"Quick! Hide!"

Lin Mo had sharp eyes and spotted the huge wardrobe in the corner of the room at a glance.

Before anyone could react, Qin Ruxue's murderous voice rang out from outside.

"Third Sister! Open the door!"

Liu Yiyi mouthed "Go in quickly" to Lin Mo, and Lin Mo immediately plunged into the wardrobe that exuded a faint fragrance.

Liu Yiyi took a deep breath, smoothed out the wrinkles on her skirt, regained her calm and composed demeanor, and then went to open the door.

Outside.

Qin Ruxue's hand rested on the hilt of her sword, her pretty face frosty.

"Second sister, what's wrong? Why are you so angry?"

Liu Yiyi asked softly, cleverly blocking most of the doorway with her body.

Qin Ruxue's gaze was as sharp as an eagle's, quickly sweeping over the room past Liu Yiyi's shoulder.

Desk, bookshelf, coffee table...

Everything was in perfect order.

The air was filled with the faint scents of ink and sandalwood, and... the unique orchid-like fragrance that Third Sister possessed.

That bastard's scent is nowhere to be found!

"Third Sister."

Qin Ruxue's voice remained icy, "Have you seen Lin Mo?"

"Little Ten?"

Liu Yiyi blinked, feigning surprise, looking innocent and confused.

"I haven't seen him. I've been looking at the account books here since early this morning, and I haven't seen him come over. What's wrong?"
