The maids were very surprised by Mu Jinyu's words, and what's more terrifying was the implication he revealed...
The maids quickly reacted, full of panic and fear, worried that knowing this astonishing secret would lead Chu Huannian to kill them to silence them.
Chu Huannian was initially indifferent upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words, but then she heard the maids' exclamations, saw their shocked and uneasy expressions, and immediately realized they had misunderstood.
However, she couldn't scold the maids, so she frowned and glared at Mu Jinyu, cursing, "What nonsense are you spouting?!"
"What?"
Mu Jinyu also realized, promptly explaining to them, "Ha, sorry, I misspoke, don't misunderstand, it's just that there was an assassin attempting to kill me yesterday, the Chu Kingdom's Warrior feared I might encounter danger again, so they stayed with me to protect me, and I brought Ah-Xui along too, worried the assassin might ambush her, so she came along to be safer..."
