Murong Rong seemed somewhat aggrieved: "I didn't."
But this time, many people saw it, and she couldn't refute it.
Zhao Zhiyuan slapped Murong Rong across the cheek.
“It’s one thing for you to use those underhanded tricks all the time, but you shouldn’t treat Mu Wanting like this.”
"This is a lesson for you. If it happens again, you won't live to see the next one."
Murong Rong stared blankly at Zhao Zhiyuan, her husband, who was helping her sister instead of her. She was furious.
She had already had a difficult journey without a carriage and with her injured leg, yet he didn't ask her a single question.
Talking to her now is only to stand up for that bitch Mu Wanting!
Afterwards, Mu Wanting and the others interrogated several assassins, and the expert assassin had a cold and stern expression.
"No need to ask, I know nothing. Since I've fallen into your hands, it's because I'm not as skilled as you. Do with me as you see fit."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Wanting slapped him across the face.
"Who asked you?"
Immediately afterwards, another dose of truth serum was injected into him. Even though he had great courage before, people in ancient times had almost never been trained with this kind of drug, so he quickly became drowsy.
"Tell me, who sent you?"
The assassin refused to speak, only glancing at Murong Rong.
Murong Rong was getting anxious. Why was this idiot looking at him like that?
The drug took effect for another ten minutes. When Mu Wanting asked again, she heard the assassin speak.
"It's the Third Prince."
Mu Wanting raised an eyebrow. She knew better than anyone that the Minister's Mansion was a notorious faction of the Third Prince.
Moreover, the fact that he chose to expose his weakness rather than harm Murong Rong just now shows that Murong Rong must have known something about it.
"Murong Rong, do you have anything else to say?"
Murong Rong said, "Sister, you can't convict me based solely on the assassin's words. I don't even know him. As for what the Third Prince wants to do, that's not something a woman like me can control."
Mu Wanting laughed and said, "You can't control the Third Prince, but you're really trying to push me out to get me killed, aren't you?"
Murong Rong tried to argue, but Shen Yujiao was so angry that she lashed out with her whip.
"You're still trying to deny it. We clearly saw you run out of your room and push your sister-in-law."
Murong Rong hated Mu Wanting so much at the time, and thought that with everything in such a chaotic situation, no one would notice. Little did she expect that so many people would see it.
Mother Shen also said, "Wan Ting didn't do anything to you along the way, yet you've been targeting her at every turn. Don't you think you've gone too far?"
Murong Rong tried to argue, but Shen Yujiao lashed her with her whip again.
"You wicked woman! I was blind before, I thought you were a good person."
Those exiles who previously thought Murong Rong was alright, upon seeing her behavior, subconsciously distanced themselves from her.
What good is it if someone would even murder their own sister, no matter how gentle and kind they appear on the surface?
So this time, Murong Rong dragged her injured leg and sat on one side of the inn, surrounded by a vacuum.
Those who were already on good terms with Mu Wanting deliberately bumped into her when they passed by. Murong Rong was already suffering from a foot injury that hadn't been treated, and after being bumped around several times, she finally couldn't take it anymore.
"If you continue like this, don't blame me for being impolite."
After she said this, the convicts were not afraid at all, and instead moved closer to her.
"Then tell me, how exactly are you going to be impolite?"
"Zhao Laosan, don't be so arrogant. She's the kind of person who would even lay a hand on her own sister. Be careful, or she might come after you!"
Murong Rong was accompanied by two guards and two maids, but with more than a dozen convicts surrounding her, she dared not send her guards to fight.
Isn't that just asking for a beating?
So she dejectedly asked the maid to take the food back to her room.
After eating, he went to the clinic to have his wound bandaged.
Because the injury was prolonged and severe, the treatment was extremely painful.
The doctor shook his head regretfully: "It's possible that it will leave lasting effects."
Murong Rong was on the verge of tears. She was so young, and a talented woman from the capital. What if she became lame...?
She couldn't believe it, and she regretted coming to find Zhao Zhiyuan.
However, if she doesn't come to find Zhao Zhiyuan, her life in the Marquis's mansion will only become more and more difficult.
She returned even more dejectedly, and her expression turned even uglier when she saw Mu Wanting.
She was determined to ruin Mu Wanting's reputation.
That evening, Murong Rong sent Li Wu to Mu Wanting's room. The aphrodisiac incense had already been lit by the waiter. Then she sent Cui Liu to find someone.
Mu Wanting was being held in Shen Xinglan's arms, teaching him how to weave a straw hat, when Li Wu walked in and blankly closed the door.
Mu Wanting asked, "What is it?"
Li Wu replied, word by word, "Murong Rong sent me to sleep with you, and then sent people to watch, thus tarnishing your reputation."
Mu Wanting smiled slightly, but Shen Xinglan couldn't help but laugh while holding her forehead.
"This Li Wu is quite interesting."
"You might as well say my puppet gu is interesting."
Shen Xinglan raised an eyebrow: "Oh? You can make puppet Gu?"
Mu Wanting chuckled: "Why don't you ask me what I can't do?"
"Is there anything you can't do?"
Since Shen Xinglan was so cooperative, Mu Wanting said, "I don't know needlework. To master needlework, one must spend a lot of time practicing sewing. My mother believes that I have more important skills to learn."
Shen Xinglan understood. That's why Mu Wanting's medical skills were so good; it must be because she sacrificed time to study other things.
The two chatted quietly, and it was the first time they had been able to talk for so long. Shen Xinglan also learned about a different side of Mu Wanting.
It turns out that Xia Chan had never taught her the Three Obediences and Four Virtues, or the precepts for women, saying that those things were merely male-dominated methods for indoctrinating women. Instead, she was taught mostly the Four Books and Five Classics, the Analects, and Taoist strategies.
As they chatted, half an hour passed, and Shen Xinglan felt a surge of heat, while Mu Wanting also felt a bit agitated.
Shen Xinglan's eyes were deep as he leaned in and kissed her lips.
Murong Rong arrived with her men to catch them in the act of adultery at that moment; their voices could be heard even outside the door.
“I just saw Li Wu go into my sister’s room. Why hasn’t he come out yet? This is bad for her reputation.”
There was a lot of noise outside the door, and Mu Wanting could hear that Shen's mother was also anxiously trying to stop Murong Rong from opening the door.
Murong Rong ignored them, pushed Shen's mother aside, and opened the door.
"My sister's reputation cannot be tarnished; her innocence must be restored."
As soon as she opened the door, she saw the bed curtains drawn, and Murong Rong's lips curled into a smile.
"Sister, why are you sleeping in broad daylight?"
Mu Wanting said, "I'm tired. You know we spent all night investigating human traffickers last night."
Murong Rong said, "It would be fine if you were just tired, but it would be bad if you did something outrageous because your brother-in-law was impotent."
As he spoke, he suddenly flung open the bed curtains.
Sure enough, Mu Wanting was sitting on the bed, her face flushed, and there was a bulge under the covers as if someone was inside.
Murong Rong's eyes lit up. "Great!"
Now, Mu Wanting can't escape.
