Chapter 266: Chapter 266: Tonight’s Dramatic Reversal—My Coming-of-Age Ceremony for You (Part 6)

A wave of jealousy spread from Bai Xiyue’s heart, gradually replacing the fear within her.

"Too clumsy." Mu Qingge slowly shook her head and said with contempt, "So clumsy that I don’t even want to continue speaking."

Was her carefully crafted plan deemed ’childish’ and ’clumsy’ in her eyes?

The immense anger in Bai Xiyue’s heart almost burst out through her eyes.

"Sister Xiyue, why are you looking at me this way?" Mu Qingge suddenly turned her gaze and smiled at her.

Bai Xiyue was taken aback, and the hatred in her eyes instantly dissipated.

But still, it was caught by many.

"Did I say something wrong?" Mu Qingge laughed.

"No, how would Xiyue know about these things?" Bai Xiyue hurriedly covered up.

Mu Qingge took two steps towards her, grinning, "I haven’t even thanked Sister Xiyue yet. If it weren’t for your sharp eyes earlier, spotting those letters intending to frame the Mu Family among a stack of books, who knows what would have happened."

"..." Bai Xiyue suddenly felt the scorching gazes around her, leaving her unable to defend herself.

Mu Qingge’s voice deepened slightly, sincerely saying, "But I still have to tell you this. Once you found out, you should have spoken up directly. Our Mu Family stands upright and has nothing to hide. Your later hesitations make it seem like there’s something fishy going on."

Bai Xiyue forced a smile, tremblingly saying under Mu Qingge’s piercing gaze, "Yes, Xiyue understands."

Just as Bai Xiyue was about to crumble under Mu Qingge’s gaze, Mu Qingge suddenly revealed a meaningful smile and called out, "Mo Yang."

As soon as she finished speaking, Mo Yang emerged from the shadows with a few Dragon Tooth Guards.

They walked straight to Mu Qingge and saluted, exuding an air of lethal intimidation, causing many to take a few steps back. Even Qin Jinhao showed a look of envious jealousy at such exemplary trusted aides.

"Little Lord," they addressed her.

Mu Qingge nodded calmly and suddenly asked, "Today is my important day. I ordered you to position the Dragon Tooth Guards all over the Mu Mansion to prevent any troublemakers from sneaking in. Do you know how the fire in the old lord’s study happened?"

As soon as the words fell, Bai Xiyue felt her whole body go weak.

Mu Qingge had actually sent her own Hidden Guard to secretly hide in the Mu Mansion?

And even in the vicinity of the study?

Wouldn’t that mean...

Instantly, Bai Xiyue’s face turned pale white, nearly fainting to the ground.

Suddenly, she felt an urge to escape. She looked towards Qin Jinhao, hoping for his protection, to take her away from here, away from the Mu Mansion.

However, Qin Jinhao did not respond to her with even a glance, as if he had abandoned her.

’No! It can’t be! What happened? Why is His Highness ignoring me?!’ Bai Xiyue felt a desperate grief in her heart.

But at this moment, she dare not speak recklessly.

Because she knew that Prince Rui was her only hope.

Mo Yang answered solemnly, "We were ordered to guard near the study. Today is Little Lord’s coming-of-age ceremony, so most people in the mansion are in the front yard. The only person who entered the old lord’s study was Miss Bai. She stayed inside for about the time it takes to burn an incense stick, and shortly after she left, a big fire broke out in the study."

"You’re lying! I didn’t!" Bai Xiyue hurriedly argued.

However, her words of rebuttal appeared pale and powerless.

Mu Qingge said to Mo Yang, "You may withdraw for now."
