"Miss, you have finally returned!"
The familiar faces in the courtyard greeted her.
Chi Mu Jiu could sense a hint of fear in their voices. It seemed that after spending so much time with Du Heng, her own aura had become more intimidating.
"Is Father at home?" she asked coldly, as if a chilling wind had swept through the hearts of those present.
"The head of the family is at home. He has been resting here for some time due to ill health," a senior maid replied respectfully, her eyes filled with reverence as if she were addressing a queen.
"And the others?" Chi Mu Jiu's tone shifted, turning icy.
"Madam Ji and the Second Young Miss are not here," a young male servant answered cautiously, his voice trembling slightly, clearly intimidated by Chi Mu Jiu's presence.
"What do you mean they are not here? Are they dead?" Chi Mu Jiu's cold gaze swept across the room, and no servant dared to meet her eyes.
Seeing that she could not extract any more information, she withdrew her gaze and stepped into the main hall.
The decorations were still familiar, but the atmosphere was not. A faint scent of traditional Chinese medicine lingered in the air.
The spacious hall was empty.
Father was not there.
"Mu Jiu, you... you have returned."
Chimu Jiu turned her gaze towards the sound, and at the railing of the sky-high building, she saw Chi Feng being supported by two servants. His once resolute face now bore several more lines, and his head of hair appeared even more silver. His voice was filled with excitement, tinged with a hint of guilt.
Chimu Jiu nodded slightly, as if in response. Chi Feng wanted to say something more, but Chimu Jiu was not inclined to listen. "I came back to see you. Since your health is not in serious trouble, just take care of yourself. The things you are reluctant to give me, I will take back myself."
Tears seemed to glisten in Chi Feng's eyes. In the current situation, his own daughter had grown distant from him, a result of his own making. He had been too greedy, wanting too much; in the end, it was all for naught, and the Chi family's fortune was on the verge of falling into the hands of outsiders.
(At this moment, do you realize that she is an outsider? Back when your blood pressure skyrocketed from anger, you refused to let go of the contract.)
This outsider was none other than Chi Qiyun. She was not Chi Feng's biological daughter but rather the child of Ji Yuyan and her former husband. Years ago, when Mu Jiu's mother had just passed away, Chi Feng had already been secretly involved with Ji Yuyan. Whether it was out of guilt for Mu Jiu's mother or some other reason, over the years, Chi Feng and Ji Yuyan had never given birth to a child of their own.
At this moment, Chi Feng stood trembling on the upper floor, his emotions a tangled mess; meanwhile, Chimu Jiu sat elegantly on the sofa in the hall, her cold and glamorous aura fully displayed. Ning Chen and Jin Su stood firmly behind her.
Chimu Jiu could tell from the situation that Ji Yuyan and her daughter must have had a falling out with Chi Feng and found a place to stay outside.
Suddenly, the ringing of Chi Feng's phone broke the quiet atmosphere. A quick-witted maid answered it promptly.
"Speakerphone activated," she announced.
"Master! No! The Second Miss has taken people to the grave of the late Madam! They say that the Chi family's feng shui is bad and want to relocate her grave! They're almost there! The cemetery manager just called to inform us! They can hardly be stopped now!"
Master, what should we do? Master!
