Before long, night fell and dawn broke again. Sunlight streamed in through the broken walls and windows in front of the temple, bathing the temple floor in golden light.
Yu Qianqian had just opened her eyes when she discovered that Hua Mancheng was no longer in the dilapidated temple.
She thought for a moment, then left the dilapidated temple. As she descended the mountain and arrived at the Prince Jing's Mansion, she did not encounter Hua Mancheng along the way.
Upon entering Fuxi Courtyard, I was surprised to see Mu Wange leaning against a couch, half asleep.
Before Yu Qianqian could take a step forward, Mu Wange jumped up excitedly, her face beaming as she went to help her up. "Sister-in-law, you're finally back! I've specially prepared some nourishing ginseng soup for you. Come and try it!"
"..."
Hearing those astonishing words, Yu Qianqian stood there blankly, completely bewildered. She almost thought that Mu Wange must have gone mad, otherwise, why would her attitude towards her change so quickly?
Without a moment's hesitation, Mu Wange dragged her back to her room and even personally brought her a bowl of ginseng soup from the kitchen.
Mu Wange's attitude towards her is completely different now than before; even her tone of voice has softened considerably.
"Don't just stand there, drink it quickly. You've been out all day, you need to rest."
Yu Qianqian braced her elbows in front of her, but the words she was about to say remained unspoken. She fixed her gaze on Mu Wange and suddenly changed the subject, "Mu Wange, I want to know why you've suddenly become so nice to me?"
Mu Wange's attitude has changed too quickly. It's impossible for her not to be on guard. As the saying goes, "If someone is being overly helpful for no reason, they must have ulterior motives." Thinking about it carefully, Tang probably has something to do with this too.
Want to poison her? Not so easy!
She opened her mouth, but before she could say a word, Mu Wange plopped down on the couch, pouted and snorted coldly, "I heard that before my cousin left, he specifically instructed Hua Mancheng to take care of you, but as a member of the Mu family, I naturally cannot lose to an outsider."
Her gaze shifted, and she peered at the other person's suddenly changed expression. She quickly understood the unspoken meaning behind those words. It seemed that only when Hua Mancheng was in trouble would Mu Wange exhibit such abnormal behavior. She never expected that matters of love could truly make people lose their minds.
Yu Qianqian leaned close to Mu Wange's ear and gave a mysterious, soft chuckle: "Since you're being so sincere, I'll tell you a secret... Actually, I've always considered him a brother."
Upon hearing this, Mu Wange jumped off the bed, her large, bright eyes filled with golden light. A smile bloomed on her face as she asked, "Really? Was what you just said true or false?"
After a long day of running around, Yu Qianqian felt weak all over. She leaned back and collapsed onto the bed, utterly exhausted. She replied casually, "What do you mean, 'really' or 'false'? Would it do me any good to lie to you?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I'll come see you again when I have time!" Mu Wange smiled brightly at her and ran out of the Prince Jing's residence in a flash.
After leaving the Prince Jing's mansion and arriving in the bustling imperial city, everything remained the same as before. On the long street, a continuous stream of carriages and people surged in like a swarm of bees breaking free from their nest.
Mu Wange searched every place Hua Mancheng had been, following the crisscrossing streets and alleys, but still found nothing.
Finally, she had no choice but to return to Tianxiang Tower. As soon as she found a seat, the other customers started chattering: "Hey! Have you heard? News just came from the palace that Prince Jing led his troops to attack the enemy forces of the seven kingdoms, and in less than three days, he has captured ten cities in succession!"
"This is truly fantastic news! In order for us to continue to live and work in peace and contentment, we must celebrate today!"
Mu Wange took a sip of wine, immediately perked up, and then turned around and ran out of the restaurant without thinking.
