I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 1377

Chapter 1377: Chapter 532: The Sikong Sisters’ Secret! The Princess’s Physical Examination!

Chen Mo looked at the two women on the bed, a bit dumbfounded, "Isn’t this Sikong Zuiyue and her sister? How did they end up here?"

Chu Yanli explained, "After dealing with Wanqi Shuofeng, I waited and waited but didn’t see you return. Later, I learned from that Qi Ye that you went to the Demon Suppression Department, worried you might be in danger, so I hurried over."

"By the time I reached the East Suburb, you’d already left, but these two were still fighting tooth and nail..."

Chen Mo frowned and said, "So you brought them back?"

"What else could I do?" Chu Yanli said helplessly, "Given Wei Xuan’s nature, if Sikong Zuiyue fell into his hands, she’d be dead for sure... We somewhat have a bond, couldn’t just push her into the fire pit, right?"

"I remember there were quite a few from the Sikong family present then, why not just let them take her back?" Chen Mo asked, puzzled.

Chu Yanli sighed and said, "I initially thought the same, but Sikong Zuiyue refused, probably worried Sikong Qinglin’s special status might cause backlash from her clan..."

Although Sikong Qinglin was born into a noble family, relations with her clan were like water and fire, while Sikong Zuiyue’s attitude differed, wanting to repair the relationship, as if feeling some guilt towards her...

Chen Mo rubbed his temples.

He didn’t want to get involved initially, after all, dealing with aristocratic families was never a good thing.

Moreover, Sikong Qinglin belonged to Wei Xuan; interfering rashly might end up offending him.

Now the struggle with Wu Lie had reached a critical stage, with Wei Xuan holding a crucial position as the Commander of the Sky Scale Guard. Although not expecting his help, he shouldn’t recklessly make enemies either.

Chu Yanli understood his concern and said, "Currently, the palace is under strict lockdown, it’s hard to bring people in. I have to oversee the Chen Mansion, can’t leave, so they can only temporarily stay here. Once their injuries stabilize, I’ll send them away quickly, won’t cause you any trouble."

Chen Mo waved his hand and said, "The situation is as it is, let’s not mention these things, I have some bond with Sikong Zuiyue too, won’t just watch her die."

Hearing this, Chu Yanli smiled sweetly and said, "I knew you were the best, brother-in-law~"

"..."

Chen Mo’s mouth twitched, "I’ve told you, stop calling me brother-in-law!"

Chu Yanli blinked her watery eyes and muttered, "Tsk, men always say one thing but mean another, back in the Xuanqing Pool, you reacted much more fiercely to that title..."

"Ahem, that’s enough!"

Chen Mo’s expression was slightly awkward, couldn’t help interrupting.
