"In that case, I'd better not go."

Mo Gu City instantly understood that Mo Bei's motive was not simple. He lightly shook his head and rejected, "If I were you, I would return to the manor as soon as possible."

Did something happen?

Mo Bei felt a strange sense of panic, and didn't stay to investigate further. Instead, he turned and left, hurrying in the direction of the Mo Residence.

Mo Residence, Orchid Garden.

In the past few days, Mo Bei would get up early and casually stroll around the courtyard. But today, Mo Bei had yet to leave his room, and even his personal maid, Meng Qi, hadn't appeared.

There must be something here!

However, the matter with the red phoenix had left a lingering fear in her heart. If she recklessly charged in, not only would she not be able to catch a single clue, she might even be able to kill herself.

The time it took for an incense stick to burn had passed, and an hour had passed. However, Mo Bei had no intention of leaving his room, so she clenched her teeth and said, "Qing'er, go and bring some pastries for Second Young Miss. Second Young Miss is probably hungry."

"Yes, Sister Blue Luan."

Qing'er did not doubt him. She carried a plate of Peach Blossom Sesame and pushed open the door to Mo Bei's room, "Second Miss, your servant came to deliver some snacks. It's about time. Second Miss, please wake up."

"Yes."

Meng Qi felt very uneasy, afraid that someone would discover her substitute identity. She turned her back to Qing`er and used her blanket to cover herself, "Get out."

"Yes, Second Miss."

Even though Qing'er felt that something was amiss with Mo Bei today, she did not think too much into it. Hence, she left quietly, but the Blue Luan was always guarding the door. She glanced at the distance and instantly confirmed that the person inside was not Mo Bei.

With these few days of interaction, the Blue Luan was certain that Mo Bei was never a timid person. Now that she was hiding in the room and Meng Qi was not in the room, there was only one explanation, and that was, the person inside was Meng Qi.

This was a good opportunity to earn merits!

If she were to tell Xie Guifang about this news, she would definitely take the opportunity to punish Mo Beibei. Although she was very afraid of Mo Beibei, if Mo Beibei lost his power, then he would be like a toothless tiger, and there would be nothing left for people to be afraid of.

Just as the Blue Luan wanted to report Mo Bei, it suddenly thought of something, "Qing`er, haven't you discovered that there's something wrong with the Second Miss' house? "What about Meng Qi?"

Qing`er scratched her head, thinking that she had never seen Meng Qi before.

Therefore, Qing'er quickly left as if she was afraid that the Blue Luan would snatch away all the credit.

Ting Fangyuan.

"Is what you said true?"

Xie Guifang looked down from above. From what Qing'er said, it seemed like Mo Beibei was never in his room. If that was the case, wouldn't he be able to incriminate her when Mo Beibei returned?

After all, there was no evidence that Mo Bei was in the manor last night!

Thinking about this, Xie Guifang sent someone to call Mo Nan over and told him about this matter. Sure enough, Mo Nan's eyes lit up with passion, "Mother, Mo Beibei didn't come back all night, this is our good opportunity."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Mo Nan concluded that Mo Bei had not returned the entire night. She had once lifted a stone to smash her own foot, and Mo Bei had designed it so that Mo Bei would lose his innocence.

"To the Orchid Garden."

With a wave of her hand, Xie Guifang brought her people to the Orchid Garden. At this moment, Mo Bei's door was still tightly shut. Xie Guifang snorted coldly, "Since when did Second Miss become so unruly? I personally came, yet I didn't even come to welcome you?"

Meng Qi was anxious. She didn't know why Xie Guifang and Mo Nan had suddenly come. However, looking at this scene, she was afraid that they wouldn't be able to escape today.

Therefore, Meng Qi clenched her teeth and decided to go back to her bed. Since she was going to pretend to be sick, she had to pretend.

"Eldest Madam, Eldest Miss, today when this servant delivered the pastries to Second Miss, I realized that the person in the room wasn't Second Miss at all. Eldest Madam and Eldest Miss can go in and inspect it."

Xie Guifang nodded slightly, and Mo Nan impatiently opened the door. Meng Qi pulled the quilt tightly, afraid that the next moment, Xie Guifang would expose her fraud.

However, a tragedy still happened. Xie Guifang raised her chin and two thick wives immediately pulled Meng Qi down. Meng Qi's face was devoid of color, "This servant greets First Madam, greets Eldest Miss!"

"How can a mere servant lie on the Second Miss' bed?"

Xie Guifang's tone was full of mockery, "Does Bei Bei think that everyone can bear the title of Second Young Miss?"

"First Madam, please forgive me!"

At this point, Meng Qi could only plead bitterly, but her pitiful appearance could not be replaced with any sympathy. Xie Guifang coldly said, "Second Miss went out to play and did not come back for the whole night. You, as a personal maid, did not stop her. You deserve death!"

"First Madam, Second Miss did not stay the night. Last night, I waited until Second Miss went to bed. It was only this morning that Second Miss left the Mo Residence."

Seeing that Xie Guifang was about to charge Mo Bei with the crime of not returning for the entire night, Meng Qi hurriedly tried to explain Mo Bei. However, since Xie Guifang had already made up her mind, how could she let Meng Qi disrupt her plans? "If it weren't for the fact that you haven't returned from the north all night, why would you have disguised yourself as Bei Bei to deceive me? This kind of evil servant, it's good to be beaten to death! "

With that, Xie Guifang waved her hand, "Slaughter him!"

First, she would beat her personal maid to death. As for Mo Bei, she would wait for him to come back and see how she would explain the events of the day!

"Eldest Madam, Second Miss really stayed at the Orchid Garden last night. She did not go out."

Meng Qi didn't care about her safety at all. She and Mo Bei were like sisters, and when they were in the service room, Mo Bei even saved her. In Meng Qi's eyes, without Mo Bei, she would have already died.

However, nothing could happen to Mo Bei!

However, how could Xie Guifang listen to Meng Qi's explanation? Even though she also thought that Mo Bei couldn't possibly have stayed away all night, but who else could prove it except for Meng Qi?

"Everyone stop!"

Just as Meng Qi was being dragged away by her grandma, a clear and cold female voice rang out, mixed with a hint of anger.
