Doubt

"Momo?" Mu Yunxuan looked at Su Zimo, now even more surprised. This woman's scolding tone and name were too similar to hers. But could someone who fell from such a high place like the top cliff really survive? Doubts instantly arose in Mu Yunxuan's heart.

"Yo! Isn't this the Cloud City Saint Lord and the Second Prince? How come you have time to empty our shop today?" He Yunting, sensing the tension in the air, approached with a smirk on his face, pretending he hadn't called her name just now. He deliberately avoided delving into their relationship at this moment.

Su Zimo glared at He Yunting hatefully, and he lowered his head, feigning indifference. However, he couldn't help but notice Mu Yunxuan blurting out the word "Momo." Did they originally know each other or...? He Yunting didn't want to figure out their relationship at this moment.

"I heard that your Bright Moon Villa has rented or bought shops in all the places where our Mu family's property is located. I wonder what Bright Moon Villa wants?" Mu Yunxuan asked directly, his sharp eyes fixed on Su Zimo.

"What does the Holy Lord think we want?" Su Zimo replied indifferently, but in her heart, she wanted to defeat Mu Yunxuan and her Mu family. She, Su Zimo, was bold enough to compete openly with the Mu family. She wanted to put this beast in a difficult situation, making him experience the humiliation and helplessness she had endured in the past.

"Then I wonder what business the owner wants to do with this shop?" Mu Yunxuan continued probing.

"When the shop opens, the Holy Lord will find out," Su Zimo replied coldly, unwilling to engage in a direct conversation with Mu Yunxuan. Her tone conveyed her disinterest in talking to him.

"You..." Mu Yunxuan felt like he was hitting a wall. What frustrated him even more was not that she didn't answer his questions directly, but her slightly disgusted tone.

This woman, he was sure that he hadn't offended her.

Mu Yunhan watched from the side and almost clapped his hands if it weren't for the fact that the person involved was his elder brother. In all these years, he had never seen a woman who dared to confront his elder brother like this. This woman was the first.

"Both of you, please move aside. I'm still busy here," Su Zimo unceremoniously dismissed them. She didn't want to deal with this beast at all now. Every time she saw him, she thought of her daughter, who was lying sick in bed.

"Presumptuous! Who are you to dare to ask the Cloud City Saint Lord to move?" A cold voice interjected. Su Zimo felt a sharp gaze and lifted her eyes slightly, only to see two elegantly dressed women, accompanied by two maids, walking slowly toward them.

It was the woman in the stunning red dress who spoke up. She was tall and wore a well-fitted flowing red fairy skirt, highlighting her beautiful figure. Her blue silk was intricately arranged, adorned with pearl jasper gold accessories. Her face resembled a full moon, with bright eyes and glistening teeth. Her apricot-shaped face exuded charm and seduction, displaying various expressions with a slight smile.

Even Su Zimo had to admit that the woman in front of her was truly beautiful.

The other woman wore a flowing pink fairy skirt, with a simple and elegant bun and green silk draped over her shoulders. Orchid beads adorned her hair, diagonally inserted. Her melon seed-shaped face featured willow leaf eyebrows and eyes that shimmered like spring water. She pursed her lips and wore a faint smile. At first glance, she resembled the two men in front of her, but her fair skin had a few freckles, which did not diminish her beauty.

"Miss Ling, Yue'er, why are you here?" Mu Yunhan looked at them in surprise.

"Eldest brother, second brother, Yue'er accompanied Miss Ling for a walk. We didn't expect to run into you," Mu Yunyue stuck her tongue out at Mu Yunhan, looking delicate and cute.

Mu Yunhan frowned slightly and glanced at Ling Qiushui, who was staring at Su Zimo. They arrived at an opportune moment, but the elder brother wasn't fond of women with ulterior motives.

"Qiu Shui greets the Holy Lord and the Second Prince," Ling Qiushui slightly curtsied, her tone gentle and uncharacteristically different from her cold expression earlier.

Mu Yunxuan remained silent, his face cold, and he didn't even spare a glance for Ling Qiushui. His attention was solely focused on Su Zimo, not taking Ling Qiushui seriously at all.

"Miss Ling, you've been on the road for days. Why don't you rest in Cloud City for a couple more days?" Mu Yunhan attempted to divert the attention since the elder brother remained silent.

"Second Prince, Qiushui has already rested. I have been in the capital for almost half a year. No, today I brought Yue'er to the shop and just arrived here when I heard this woman disrespecting the Holy Lord. For a moment, I was angered and reprimanded her. I hope the Holy Lord and the Second Prince understand," Ling Qiushui's eyes shimmered as she looked at Mu Yunxuan, who had a gloomy expression. She suddenly regretted her actions. However, she believed that this was the only way to attract his attention.

"Who are you? The owner of this estate allowed them to move. What business is it of yours to meddle in? They are not the owners of this estate, so why should they show respect? You should mind your own business," Su Zimo's eyes turned surprisingly cold, and her tone was filled with disgust and contempt.

The use of the term "old lady" made Mu Yunxuan stare at Su Zimo in astonishment. It seemed that this woman also referred to someone as "old lady" with a similar tone. Furthermore, she used the terms "beast" and "disciple" just now. Mu Yunxuan could swear that only Su Zimo, the woman standing before him, would dare to scold him like this, and in front of him.

"You... You..." Ling Qiushui glared angrily at Su Zimo. She didn't expect that Su Zimo would say such things to her. She already knew their identities, yet dared to be so presumptuous. Who was this woman?

"Momo, calm down!" He Yunting wanted to burst into laughter, but he restrained himself. After all, the person he was facing was Mu Yunxuan, not Jun Lin Tianke or Su Ziyun.

"Why don't you calm down and mind your own business? Why are you still poking your nose into other people's matters on your own territory? He Yunting, have you lost your mind? Did you not open your eyes when you left today?" Su Zimo looked at He Yunting aggressively. She was extremely angry at the moment. Whoever dared to provoke her would be in for a bad time.
