Chapter 4059: Shock

What's the use of torturing this cunning woman herself? Only by tormenting what she cares about and fears can she truly reveal everything, right?

Things like reputation, to him, none of it was as important as his Qiao Qiao.

This old, cunning servant could commit suicide for her master, even willing to die in such a terrifying state, completely disregarding dignity.

What for?

Wasn't it simply to protect the person behind her with all her heart?

In such a case, only by dealing with her harshly could she truly reveal something useful to them.

Aoye sat down at the table, took a pen, and by the dim light of a lamp in the cellar, began recording what the old woman said.

One by one, Crown Prince Mo asked, and the old woman answered, in painstaking detail, very tactfully.

This Granny Wang was now perfectly clear in her heart: if she missed even half a point, or if anything she said didn't satisfy the Crown Prince, then soon enough, she might receive her grandchildren's hands or feet again.

"Husband." Qiao Mu went up for a breath of fresh air but didn't see Mo Lian and Immortal Venerable Peach Blossom come up, so she rushed back into the cellar.

She was met by Mo Lian and Feng Chen walking towards her.

Mo Lian smiled faintly, raised his hand, took her small hand, and slipped a piece of paper into it. "It's all written down. See if it's useful."

Lady Qiao Qiao lowered her head, unfolded the paper, and read through it line by line.

The more she read, the deeper and more terrifying the chill in her eyes became, almost thick enough to drip with water.

So, it was this person!

It was this person who had been secretly plotting, relentlessly hounding her, constantly wanting to strip her of everything!

On the surface, the little stoic appeared calm and unruffled, but in her mind, she meticulously connected and calculated every event that had occurred from the Lower Star Domain to the Middle Six Prefectures, and then to the Upper Three Provinces, during these past days.

The more she thought, the more startled she became, her eyes like icy pearls, emitting sharp, cold light.

To think they had hidden so deeply, successfully concealing themselves from her several times.

"Let's go to Mu..."

"Reporting to His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, and Crown Princess!" Aoye arrived swiftly, cupping his hands and saying, "The Mu family's main residence in the Winter Moon Mountain Forest has been attacked by unknown assassins. The entire Mu family is currently fending off the external enemy, and Young Master Mu seems to have sustained some minor injuries."

Qiao Mu paused, then thought: Ah, Big Brother should have arrived in Imperial Capital City by now.

Last time, Heaven's Will attacked the Mu family, and the Mu family members hid in the underground tunnels. She didn't expect that after such a short time, they would come again?

Did Heaven's Will truly desire the Mu family's inherited talisman techniques? Or...

Had certain people coveted the Mu family's talisman techniques for a long time?

Qiao Mu clenched her fist, tightly clutching the paper in her palm. She looked up at Mo Lian, who was smiling at her, and said, "Let's go."

Mo Lian, of course, nodded.

The group silently left the farmhouse.

Mo Lian arranged for Fang Su to lead a portion of the Green Forest Guards to appease the common people.

All the others followed Aoye, Xiaoye, and the other Night Pavilion disciples, along with Crown Prince Mo and the little Crown Princess, to the Winter Moon Mountain Forest.

Under the deep night sky, the Winter Moon Mountain Forest was filled with earth-shattering sounds of battle.

The area around the Mu family's mountain gate was already a river of blood. Compared to the previous night attack, the Mu family's casualties were clearly much heavier this time.

Even the old master of the Mu family hadn't anticipated that after only a few days, Heaven's Will would make a comeback and attack them again?

And what shocked them the most was...
