The moonlight was bright and its soft radiance illuminated the yard quite brightly.
Lin Yixue was dressed in a phoenix crown, and the delicate makeup on her face had lost its luster. Her face was as pale as paper in fear and panic, and her dilated pupils were filled with despair and fear.
That kind of despair was not despair because of killing an oiran, but despair because he felt that he had killed someone Si Hongshen liked.
Mu Zhiqing felt a trace of unbearable feeling in her heart. If this girl could understand that such persistence would only harm herself, she should be able to live a happy life.
"Go back, I'll pretend I didn't see it."
Hearing this, Lin Yixue raised her head in shock and looked at Mu Zhiqing in disbelief.
"You...are you willing to help me?"
What she has done over the years has made many people think that she is a shame among the imperial ladies. Whenever she is mentioned, everyone can't help but shake their head.
She has no friends, and even her relatives don't understand her.
Therefore, she never thought that the girl in front of her would be willing to help her.
"Today is your special day, don't let this affect you."
Mu Zhiqing looked at Yun Manman who fell to the ground. She originally planned to confirm the news from Yun Manman later. Who would have thought that she would see her dead as soon as she arrived.
However, it would be too arrogant for an oiran to cause such a scene in front of the main lord.
Even if she doesn't die today, after today, neither the Lin family nor the Si family will allow her to continue to exist.
Lin Yixue stared at Mu Zhiqing blankly. Although she didn't know this girl, for some reason, she unconsciously chose to believe what she said.
She believed the girl was telling the truth.
Suddenly, there were subtle footsteps behind her. Mu Zhiqing turned her eyes and saw a maid approaching gradually, and her expression couldn't help but change.
"Let's go!"
Lin Yixue's eyes flashed with intense nervousness, and she immediately opened the door casually and hid inside.
"ah-"
A sharp scream came from the maid's mouth.
Mu Zhiqing held her forehead, originally thinking of taking the body away without anyone noticing, but the people behind came so fast that she couldn't hide even if she wanted to.
"Killed!"
Heartbreaking shouts resounded in the yard, followed by the sound of the maid running away in panic.
Seeing that the two maids behind her had run away, Mu Zhiqing looked at Yun Manman on the ground and said to the house, "You just hide here and go back after the matter is resolved."
Now that it has been discovered, he can only bear the blame.
It's no big deal for her to kill an oiran, but if everyone knew that Yun Manman died at the hands of Lin Yixue, she might really be doomed.
"Girl, if I do this, you will be hurt."
After a moment of panic, Lin Yixue realized that she couldn't let Mu Zhiqing bear this unwarranted charge. She was already in such a bad state, so what could she do if she was even worse
She had never seen this girl before. She was just a guest here to congratulate her, but she killed someone here.
As a member of the Si family, if this girl does not have a certain background, this matter will be very bad.
Looking at the woman's desperate and worried face, Mu Zhiqing suddenly chuckled, "It's okay, if I really can't solve it, how about you help me again?"
Lin Yixue hesitated and said, "Is it okay?"
"Of course." Mu Zhiqing responded, "So, you hide now."
A trace of struggle flashed in Lin Yixue's eyes, and then she slowly closed the door.
