She was about to lift the covers when Mu Wanting grabbed her hand, her expression indifferent.
"Sister, your brother-in-law is resting, don't disturb him."
Murong Rong knew perfectly well that the person in the blanket was Li Wu; Mu Wanting was just trying to buy time.
She laughed and said, "Sister, if it really is your brother-in-law, that's fine, but if it's any other man, with his temper, he might kill someone."
Mu Wanting smiled faintly: "Judging from what you're saying, it seems to me that you'd rather I be unfaithful and be killed by your brother-in-law. I wonder what you're really thinking?"
Murong Rong refused to say, her eyes filled with a smile.
"Sister, please don't say that. I just don't want the Shen family to be kept in the dark."
Shen Lijun had long hated Mu Wanting.
"Mu Wanting, since it's Xinglan, what are you dawdling for? Hurry up and pull back the covers!"
Mu Wanting said, "I can lift the blanket, but if it's not Li Wu, but my husband, and you've wronged me, what compensation do you want to give us?"
If Mu Wanting had simply lifted the covers, Murong Rong would have been a little anxious, but the more she delayed, the more certain Murong Rong became that Mu Wanting had something to hide.
What kind of compensation do you want?
Mu Wanting glanced at the jewelry on Murong Rong's body and spoke with a smile.
“These ornaments on your head originally belonged to my mother; give them all to me.”
Murong Rong hesitated for only a moment, but thinking of her flawless plan and the fact that she had even seen Shen Xinglan's back on the first floor, she became even more certain.
"good."
Anyway, Mu Wanting is doomed.
Mu Wanting slowly lifted the blanket, and when she did, it wasn't Li Wu at all, but Shen Xinglan, who looked at her with cold eyes.
Fear rose in Murong Rong's heart, and she subconsciously took a step back.
"Impossible! How could it be Shen Xinglan? Why not Li Wu?"
Mu Wanting walked over from the bed and slapped Murong Rong across the face.
"I have endured this for a long time. What good does it do you to slander my reputation like this? I have been tolerant of you in every way, and this is how you treat me?"
"Do you know that a woman's chastity is of paramount importance? You went to great lengths to have people catch you in the act of adultery, claiming it was for my own good, but anyone with eyes can see through your honeyed words and treacherous heart!"
Murong Rong's ears were ringing from the blows; Mu Wanting's strength was almost too much for her to handle.
She gritted her teeth, refusing to believe that Li Wu wouldn't be in this room, and immediately ordered her maids and guards to search.
Mu Wanting slapped her across the face again.
"You deserve it."
Murong Rong raised her hand to hit Mu Wanting, but Mu Wanting dodged it.
She slapped him again, and his head was buzzing.
After the farce was over, Murong Rong returned to her room and realized something was wrong.
She felt incredibly hot.
She undressed and went to the bedside, where she immediately saw Li Wu on the bed.
Li Wu looked at the disheveled Murong Rong, a dark glint flashing in his eyes, and let out two sobs.
Just as Murong Rong took the cloth out of Li Wu's mouth, the sound of the door opening came from the doorway.
Turning around, I was surprised to see Zhao Zhiyuan.
Zhao Zhiyuan glanced at Murong Rong, then at Li Wu, his eyes filled with disgust.
"You keep saying that Mu Wanting is unfaithful and that Li Wu is with her, but it turns out he's with you. What a convenient way to shift the blame, Murong Rong! You disgust me."
After saying this, he slammed the door shut.
Murong Rong's face turned pale. How could things have turned out like this? Mu Wanting was unharmed, but she had been slapped twice.
She was even caught in this infidelity by her own husband.
She felt extremely hot and didn't want to be with Li Wu, so she quickly went to find Zhao Zhiyuan.
Zhao Zhiyuan already hated her to the core, and seeing that she couldn't wait to climb into his bed after just seducing Li Wu, he felt extremely disgusted.
He threw her away.
"How much more lewd can you be? How could our Marquis's mansion possibly marry a princess consort like you?"
No matter how Murong Rong explained, Zhao Zhiyuan refused to listen.
Meanwhile, Mu Wanting and Shen Xinglan both felt a bit hot after the person left.
Mu Wanting was always quite careful at the inn, and she didn't know where she had gone wrong. After searching around, she finally found the aphrodisiac under the bed.
The remarkable thing about this drug is that it's colorless and odorless, so you won't even know when you've been exposed to it.
She extinguished the incense and turned her head to see Shen Xinglan looking at her intently.
She sensed something was wrong, and then Shen Xinglan pulled her into his arms and rolled her onto the bed.
Shen Xinglan's lips touched hers, and the two, already passionate, were about to ignite a flame.
At the last step, Shen Xinglan looked at Mu Wanting, whose body was flushed pink, his Adam's apple bobbed, and just as he was about to make a final push, Mu Wanting pushed him away, panting.
"don't want."
We still have to travel tomorrow.
Mu Wanting took out the white soup, drank a sip herself, and it took a long time for her symptoms to subside.
For some reason, even after drinking the soup, Shen Xinglan's symptoms did not disappear. Mu Wanting gave him some detoxifying pills, and he felt better afterward.
Shen Xinglan pulled her into his arms and kissed her lips.
"Go to sleep, don't be in a hurry. I'll take you when we get to the Northwest."
Mu Wanting: "..."
She didn't actually know why Mu Wanting had misunderstood her as being anxious.
In her dream, Shen Xinglan tossed and turned Mu Wanting, and when she woke up, she had to change her clothes.
Because of their conversation the previous day, Shen Xinglan's gaze towards Mu Wanting softened considerably the following day.
Making breakfast, taking care of luggage, taking care of everything.
The members of the third wife's family didn't quite believe that the attentive man was Shen Xinglan.
Murong Rong gritted her teeth in anger. How could Mu Wanting be so lucky? This was Shen Xinglan, after all, whose cold face could freeze a person to death.
If it weren't for her interference, Mu Wanting and Shen Xinglan might have already gotten together.
She never expected that they would still get back together. How could she accept that?
Since last night, no matter how she spoke to Zhao Zhiyuan, he remained indifferent and didn't say a word to her.
He even arranged for his servant to send her back.
Murong Rong refused. Zhao Zhiyuan wouldn't go back with her. When she arrived at the Marquis's mansion, her life was worse than that of a maid. Liu Shi was also imprisoned for injuring Mu Guozhong's mistress. She could only rely on herself.
So she tried even harder to please Zhao Zhiyuan, but Zhao Zhiyuan only paid attention to Mu Wanting. He would always send food to Mu Wanting, even if she didn't want it, he was happy to do so.
If they traveled a lot, they would invite Mu Wanting to come and ride in the carriage.
Since Shen Xinglan had recovered, the officials forbade Mu Wanting and the others from using animal-drawn carts.
Mu Wanting refused them all and was even carried back to the tent by Shen Xinglan.
The third wife's family treated her very well. All she had to do all day was travel, see patients, and fetch ingredients.
Why should a convict like her be able to live such a good life?
