Someone is making trouble.

"Hey! Yunfan, your sister-in-law has arrived. There's an interesting show to watch." Upstairs in a tea house opposite the Pill Shop, Mu Yunfan and Murong Xingchen sat by the window, leisurely sipping their fine Longjing tea while discussing the events unfolding below.

"These two individuals are clearly being manipulated by someone else. Any discerning person can see that. With my sister-in-law's abilities, she will surely resolve the situation quickly," Mu Yunfan confidently stated, taking a sip of his tea.

"Then let's wait and see!" The two exchanged a smile and turned their attention back to the scene below.

"Momo, what's going on?" Su Zimo walked over and asked.

"Master, you're here?" Mo Niang respectfully greeted her.

"Yes!" Su Zimo nodded, her cold eyes glancing at the man who had just been crying out. She briefly glanced at the body lying on the ground, her gaze momentarily freezing.

Su Zimo was secretly surprised that someone would sacrifice another person's life just to suppress her. However, her eyes lingered only briefly on the corpse before slowly shifting to the middle-aged man who had been screaming with anguish.

"Master, this man claims that his son died after consuming our Tier-Boosting Pill. But Mo Niang had thoroughly examined the medicine at that time, and there was no poison whatsoever," Mo Niang calmly explained. Momo had already informed her to be cautious today, as trouble was expected. So she carefully inspected each box of medicine and found no issues.

Ji Yu, among the crowd, saw Su Zimo's arrival and glanced at the people behind her. Despite all his calculations, he never expected that Emperor Haoyue would show up at this moment, along with several unfamiliar faces. He had just heard about the incident at the paper shop.

"So, you're the one in charge of this Pill Shop. Your medicine has killed someone. Today, you must give me and my son an explanation," the man with the stubble on his face said with an arrogant expression, but he was instantly stunned by Su Zimo's beauty.

Su Zimo wore an indifferent expression as she took a few steps back. She caught a whiff of a foul smell from the man and instantly began to doubt his identity.

"Are you sure your son died from consuming medicine from our Pill Shop?" A crisp and pleasant voice floated through the air. The man with the stubble shuddered, his gaze fixated on Su Zimo's stunning face, which displayed a hint of unusual color. Most of the people behind Su Zimo eagerly awaited the spectacle, curious to see how she would resolve the situation, especially with Emperor Haoyue present.

Due to the large crowd, Mu Yunxuan had been holding onto Su Qi and followed closely behind Su Zimo.

"The Master is asking you a question!" The stubbled man, who had regained his composure, angrily shouted.

"I demand justice for me and my son from Moonlight Villa. Your medicine is flawed and has caused deaths," the stubbled man shouted loudly, attracting more onlookers.

Feeling the overwhelming murderous intent in their gazes, the stubbled man quickly looked over and saw the murderous expression on Mu Yunxuan's face. A flicker of panic flashed through his eyes, and he dared not look at Mu Yunxuan again.

Murong Shaofeng clenched his fists. Momo always had a way to handle such trivial matters on her own without anyone's help. They frequently encountered similar incidents at the border, and he admired her for her resilience. Emperor Haoyue, Murong Zeyu, and the others were all watching the spectacle, enjoying the show.

Nalan Lixin glared angrily at the man with a shaggy beard, wishing she could slap him to death so he wouldn't cause trouble for her sister.

A cold smirk appeared on Su Zimo's lips, and her eyes showed a hint of anger. She knew that the man was intentionally making a scene, trying to spread the word that there was something wrong with the medicine from Mingyue Villa.

Her eyes narrowed slightly as she glanced at the "dead" man on the ground. Suddenly, a playful smile filled her eyes. Hehe, today she would make sure he revealed his true colors, so they wouldn't think Mingyue Villa was easy to mess with.

"Is he really your son?" Su Zimo remained calm; she had plenty of time to play with these people.

Her question puzzled everyone present.

"Of course he's my son, is there such a thing as a fake son?" The man with the shaggy beard panicked and lacked confidence in his tone.

A cold smile crept across Su Zimo's lips once again. She wanted to see how arrogant he would be in a little while.

Su Qi leaned against Mu Yunxuan's shoulder and whispered, "Daddy, these two are definitely beggars pretending to be father and son."

Mu Yunxuan nodded, realizing that they were impostors, although he didn't expect them to be beggars in disguise. It would be difficult to find out who was behind all this.

Su Qi's smile became cunning, with a touch of wickedness. These two would be in big trouble in her mother's hands today.

"We will find out soon enough if it's true or not."

Su Zimo spoke casually, but when she lifted her gaze, she suddenly locked eyes with someone. It was too sudden and unexpected, causing her to freeze completely.

Senior Brother Zi Su, how could he be here?

The last time she saw him was a year ago, just a brief glance. At that time, she only knew he was her senior brother, but the proud him didn't even spare her a glance.

This eye contact made her secretly amazed.

She never knew a man could be so beautiful, yet without a trace of femininity. Instead, he exuded an invisible dominance, a sense of control over everything.

Those eyes seemed to possess an irresistible allure. Even if you knew it was an endless abyss, you couldn't help but jump in. Even if you knew it was a deadly poison, you would still drink it without hesitation. Even if he wanted to kill you, you would willingly die by his sword.

She never knew that a single gaze could bring her such a profound shock.

Su Zimo's body stiffened slightly.

Mu Yunxuan looked in the direction of Su Zimo and couldn't help but be amazed. The man's cultivation was unfathomable, and he had caught all the astonishment and shock in Zimo's eyes. Who was this man? How could there be various mysterious men around Zimo?

When Su Zimo regained her senses, Zi Su was nowhere to be found, as if he had never appeared.

Zi Su's appearance distracted Su Zimo from playing further.

Her eyes turned sharp and cold as she stared at the man with the shaggy beard.

Meanwhile, the gathered crowd began whispering and pointing fingers at the pharmacy. Su Zimo knew it was time to expose these two individuals. They wanted to mess with her, Su Zimo, but this method was too childish, underestimating her.

In the wide sleeves of her robe, a silver needle, unnoticed by the others, shot into the Baihui acupoint on the feigned-dead man's head. Suddenly, the man lying on the ground shot up.

"Ah!" The people around him were startled, thinking he had risen from the dead.

The man with the shaggy beard looked at the suddenly revived man in shock.

"Third Brother, what's wrong with you?" The man with the shaggy beard wished to knock him unconscious, to make sure he stayed dead. If he revealed himself now, not only would their plan fail, but he might also lose his life.

"Big Brother, my head hurts so much! It feels like it's going to explode."

Clutching his head tightly, the man called Third Brother displayed a face full of agony.

"Speak up! Who sent you to cause trouble?" Mu Yunxuan's cold voice rang out, causing everyone present to shudder involuntarily.

They all looked at him instinctively. Only Mu Yunxuan possessed an aura that made death feel imminent.

The resurrection of the man made everyone instantly understand the purpose of these two men.

Hao Yuehuang frowned. How did Su Zimo determine that the man on the ground was playing dead? He couldn't sense any sign of life from the man at all.

Third Brother's head was already in pain, and suddenly, he felt like his neck was about to break. He opened his frightened eyes and looked at Mu Yunxuan, whose eyes were as cold as a predator. Mu Yunxuan used his profound energy to lock onto the man's neck from a distance.

"This seat won't ask you for a third time. Who sent you to frame Mingyue Villa?"

"Oh! Sir, spare our lives! Another gentleman gave us a lot of money and asked us brothers to come and perform this act."

The man with the shaggy beard begged for mercy while kneeling, fearing that Mu Yunxuan would really kill Third Brother.

"He also provided you with the fake-death medicine?" Su Zimo asked indifferently.

"All of that was arranged by that gentleman. It has nothing to do with us! We only took the money and carried out the task."

"Qingfeng, take them back and make sure they speak the truth."

Mu Yunxuan coldly chuckled and released the profound energy from Third Brother's neck.

Qingfeng emerged from behind Mu Yunxuan and quickly took the two men away from the scene.

The onlookers also understood what had happened and stopped their negative discussions.

"You all saw it. It's those ambitious individuals trying to ruin the reputation of our medicine business. All our medicines are Xuan-grade, ninth-rank or above, and they're even cheaper than those of other pharmacies. Buy now, as we're open today, and it's a buy-one-get-one-free offer." Mo Niang reacted quickly and clarified while the crowd had not dispersed yet.

Sure enough, as soon as Mo Niang finished speaking, people swarmed in to buy the medicines. A buy-one-get-one-free offer for medicines of such high quality and at such a low price had never been seen before in the capital city of Haoyue Kingdom.
