Because only the two of them were left in the courtyard, Xia Churan didn’t refute.

She contemplated the reasons for Xia Muqing’s change.

That day when she arrived with her men, they discovered the ugly man who had fainted on the ground. Xia Muqing had disappeared without a trace.

They knew that their plan had failed and they returned to the Xia family to wait for Xia Muqing. However, she didn’t return.

Xia Churan wondered if she had died outside.

Unexpectedly, she came back by herself today.

As for whether Xia Muqing had any evidence, Xia Churan decided to investigate her to find out more.

What had caused a person who was always submissive, to become so strong?

Xia Muqing returned to her tiny courtyard. To call it a courtyard was an exaggeration.

She scrutinized the thatched hut with no fence around it.

The corners of Xia Muqing’s mouth twitched. It must have taken a lot of effort to find such a lousy house in the Xia residence.

The thatched hut was incompatible with the surrounding high-walled courtyards. It was like two different worlds.

Xia Muqing cleared the weeds that had reached her waist before she strode to the hut.

She pushed the door with one finger, mainly because she was afraid that the door would collapse if she used too much force.

Despite using one finger, the wooden door still shook.

The moment the door was pushed open, a cloud of dust rushed towards Xia Muqing’s face.

She quickly dodged and looked up at the sky. She felt that it wasn’t easy for this hut to ‘survive’ for so many years.

After waiting for a while, she walked in after the dust had settled.

Although she had watched the scene inside ‘Xia Muqing’s memories’ before, it was still more impactful to see it in person.

The wind was blowing through the roof of the small house, and the windows were broken.

There was only a stool and a bed inside. The stool was missing a leg.

Fortunately, the bed was still fine.

Just as she thought of that, she had no idea if the bed was going against her.

Creak. The bed collapsed!

Xia Muqing could no longer express her feelings and nodded with a smile.

The next second, she walked out of the hut decisively.

It was impossible for anyone to live in such a place.

She would never live here.

After walking out of the hut, she surveyed her surroundings before leaping up to the roof in a flash.

She chose a courtyard nearby that she liked and moved in.

Xia Muqing walked around on the roofs and no one in the Xia family noticed her.

However, someone spotted her marching into the small courtyard with a bag on her back.

He immediately ran to the main residence to report.

To everyone, Xia Muqing wasn’t a member of the family at all. She wasn’t even qualified to be their guest.

Since Xia Muqing had the guts to walk in so brazenly, she naturally wasn’t afraid of them complaining.

Since she was back, she would not let the Xia family have an easy time.

Xia Muqing tidied up the room and prepared to rest. She looked at everything before her with satisfaction.

The plywood bed was covered with silk brocade bedding and embroidered with summer lotus flowers in gold thread.

The decoration was a stark contrast to the thatched hut earlier.

A guest room was so luxurious. The Xia family was really rich.

It was even more detestable that ‘Xia Muqing’ had to live in a thatched hut since she was young.

She was not going to let the Xia family have their way. She would live well if she had the means.

She rolled around on the bed comfortably.

She had been living in the mountains for the past two months. It felt good to roll around on a bed.

She closed her eyes and was about to sleep when she heard a commotion outside.

This made Xia Muqing frown. She was very unhappy that her rest had been interrupted.

Before she could open the door, the people outside rushed in.
