I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 969

Seeing Xu You's indifferent attitude, Chen Mo's mouth twitched.

If it were anyone else who dared to give him such a look, they'd have learned what it means to "wear small shoes"—being in constant trouble!

But facing Mr. Xu, he couldn't get angry at all; instead, he inexplicably felt a bit guilty...

Besides, Ye Zi'e's attitude was also strange. Although she was his superior, she hovered around Xu You all day, as if she were the subordinate.

"Could she be a young lady from some noble family, gaining experience out here?"

"And Xu You's name sounds so familiar. I'm sure I've heard it somewhere before, but I just can't remember where..."

Each time Chen Mo tried to ponder over this, his mind seemed clouded as if covered in a thin fog, always feeling like he was overlooking something important.

Knock knock knock—

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

County Magistrate Ji's voice came from outside: "Sir, the hour is getting late. We should prepare to depart."

Chen Mo glanced out the window, seeing that twilight was setting in.

"Forget it, no more thinking about it. Let's get the main task done first."

"Households Commander Ye, we'll split up this time..."

Chen Mo gave simple instructions, and Ye Zi'e nodded, "Okay, let's do as you say."

Creak—

The door opened.

Chen Mo stepped out, saying, "Let's go."

Ji Weifeng looked at him and the two behind him, curious, "Only the three of you? Aren't the other officials coming?"

"They've already had dinner. Weary from the journey, they wanted to rest early, so they won't be coming along," Chen Mo explained.

"Alright then." Ji Weifeng didn't ask further.

Arriving at the government office entrance, there were two sedan chairs parked by the street, originally prepared for the two commanders.

Chen Mo boarded one, and Li Yuan followed suit. Even though the other sedan was empty, Ji Weifeng, like Fire Department official Song Xuan, chose to ride a horse instead.

"Lift the sedan."

The porters gave a shout, lifting the sedan chair and heading toward the eastern part of town.

After everyone left, three Tusi emerged from the doorway.

Watching the figures gradually disappear at the end of the street, Xu You narrowed her eyes, a cold gleam flashing in her gaze.

Ye Zi'e asked softly, "Empress, have you discerned anything?"

"No rush, let's follow Chen Mo's plan for now." Xu You said calmly, with hands behind her back, "Leave one person to guard the government office, ready to receive messages at any time. You and I will prepare to support outside the city."

"Yes." Ye Zi'e nodded in agreement.
