Before Mu Chunxi returned, Mu Chenshuang knew very little about this person, and even in her memories, there were not many fragments about Mu Chunxi.

But ever since she saw Mu Chunxi, Mu Chenshuang always felt that there was an unresolved knot between them, and that barrier seemed to never be resolved.

Mu Chunxi's eyes were cold as she slowly said, "Father asked the Princess to go to the side hall, saying he had something to discuss with her."

After finishing her sentence, Mu Chunxi prepared to leave.

Mu Chenshuang coughed lightly, and Mu Chunxi, who was about to lift her foot, stopped what she was doing.

Mu Chenshuang was secretly delighted. Sure enough, Mu Chunxi's aloofness was all an act.

What seemed like a very ordinary sentence was actually something that Mu Chunxi had been thinking about for a long time.

If there are some things that cannot be answered by Feng Ji, then I will verify them myself through Mu Chunxi.

With this thought in mind, Mu Chenshuang's gaze became even more resolute.

"This is the Marquis of Jingbian's residence, not the Jianghu you claim to be. There is a distinction between the noble and the lowly. Do you really intend to leave after saying just one sentence?"

Mu Chenshuang spoke slowly and deliberately, neither servile nor arrogant.

A look of displeasure flashed across Mu Chunxi's face, but she cleverly concealed her emotions the moment she turned her head away.

"Princess, I was rude just now, please forgive me."

"If I don't remind you, you'll probably continue to be rude. Is it a momentary lapse or something you're doing intentionally?"

Mu Chenshuang picked up where Mu Chunxi left off and continued speaking.

Mu Chunxi's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at Mu Chenshuang in disbelief.

What's going on? Mu Chenshuang seems a bit off today.

Mu Chunxi bowed again, her voice filled with sincerity.

"I'm sorry, Princess. I didn't think things through just now. I hope you can forgive me."

"So what if I don't forgive you?"

"If the princess is still angry, I will accept any punishment from her willingly."

While saying these words, Mu Chunxi's expression remained unchanged, as if that was exactly what she thought.

But Mu Chenshuang knew that Mu Chunxi was only putting on an act for her.

Faced with her own probing, Mu Chunxi answered with ease, leaving no room for doubt.

To put her mind at ease, Mu Chunxi even personally told her to punish her, which was truly rare.

Seeing the tense standoff between the two, Linglong's heart leaped into her throat, and her small face turned pale.

The second young lady is not someone to be trifled with. What if she really starts a fight with the young lady?

The young lady prefers quiet, and her residence is some distance from the main hall, so even if she shouts at the top of her lungs, the surrounding maids and servants may not be able to hear her.

Linglong was so anxious that sweat beaded on her forehead, and she was as helpless as an ant on a hot pan.

Just then, Mu Chenshuang's soft laughter suddenly came over.

"I was just joking, but you took it seriously. We're all sisters, why are we being so distant? Let's go, let's go together."

Mu Chunxi was stunned after hearing this, completely bewildered.

However, seeing Mu Chenshuang's warm invitation, Mu Chunxi did not refuse.

So the two of them walked side by side toward the direction of Pianpianting.

Linglong followed behind Mu Chenshuang, and when they weren't paying attention, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
