That night.

Fu Junheng remained at the Marquis's residence.

Outside the window, the night was as still as ink; inside, an intimate atmosphere simmered, and the woman's soft, delicate body was completely immersed in the man's passionate, domineering tenderness, unable to extricate herself.

The following afternoon.

Mu Chenshuang and Shen Nanzhi arranged to meet at a teahouse.

Shen Nanzhi handed a file to Mu Chenshuang, saying, "It's quite difficult to find the investigation results related to Madam Mu's case now, since Madam Mu was away at the time and the records are limited."

Mu Chenshuang opened the file, which contained very few records. All she knew at the moment was that Madam Mu's death was related to poisoning.

"Shuang'er, what are you suspecting now?"

“I can confirm that it’s related to Lu Wei, but there aren’t many records right now. You’re right, it’s extremely difficult to find evidence now, but we can always find some clues.”

"Shuang'er, what are you trying to achieve by investigating this matter now?"

"If we can redirect the attention of the court to this matter, it will at least give the Marquis's family some time to recover."

This also gives them time to secretly investigate the forces involved behind the incident involving the King of Libei.

Perhaps this won't change the final fate of the Marquis's mansion, but the best way to protect everyone in the mansion is to successfully retire after eliminating all dangerous factors.

If we lose everything in this crisis, we will have no power to deal with the dangers that lie ahead.

Shen Nanzhi looked at her, seemingly guessing something, his eyes narrowed slightly, and asked, "Shuang'er, what are you planning to do?"

"I just want the Marquis's mansion to be able to retire safely."

Shen Nanzhi stared intently at her, "Shuang'er, do you know what you are about to face?"

“I know, so I’ll deal with Lu Wei’s matter first. I also want you to help me spread this message. Once it becomes known, the people involved will definitely take action.”

Shen Nanzhi looked worried.

Mu Chenshuang continued, "Now that things have come to this, I have to do something. If I just sit and wait to die, I'll only be at the mercy of others. Besides, I have the Emperor's Golden Token with me. If something really happens, at least this token can save my life. So, Nanzhi, you don't need to worry about me too much."

Although Shen Nanzhi was worried, he also understood.

After a while.

He said, "I know, I'll let you know if there's any news."

"It just so happens that the wife of the Minister of War came to me today, hoping that I could treat her son."

"Minister Zhou's eldest son is indeed seriously ill and has been bedridden for many years. This has been a great blow to him. But Shuang'er, what do you plan to find out?"

"If Minister Zhou owes me a favor, it will be easier to get things done later."

"Well, when do you plan to go, Shuang'er?"

"I'll go in a bit."

"good."

"However, there is one person I still want to talk to you about, Second Prince. You should be more careful."

If Feng Mo Ran has ambitions, the Empress will definitely be in danger. The Empress is backed by the Shen family, so if you want to overthrow the Empress, the Shen family will be a major obstacle.

Shen Nanzhi's eyes deepened. "Indeed, the Second Prince is currently highly regarded by His Majesty. The Crown Prince seems to be preoccupied lately, neglecting state affairs, which has displeased His Majesty. Is this related to you, Shuang'er?"

Mu Chenshuang sighed and told him about Xiao Qingyu's situation.

Shen Nanzhi was surprised, "So...it was all Consort Xiao's doing back then."

Therefore, if it weren't for Consort Xiao, Shuang'er probably wouldn't have gotten a divorce. But even though they are divorced now, the appearance of Crown Prince Junheng has once again attracted her attention.

Thinking of this, he felt a sharp pain in his heart.

"If the Crown Prince cannot focus his mind on state affairs, he is destined to fail."
