After parting ways with Mu Wange and Hua Mancheng, Mu Beichen carried Feng Jin in his arms and ran quickly all the way, attracting passersby to come and watch.
Some of them recognized them at a glance and began to chatter amongst themselves: "Oh my! Aren't these Prince Jing and his wife? What are they rushing off to?"
"Oh my god! Am I seeing things? Prince Jing is so handsome, he's practically my dream man!"
"Huh? Why is that woman in Prince Jing's arms bruised on the face? Judging from the looks of it, could it be that she cried, made a scene, and even threatened suicide after being rejected by Prince Jing?"
Struggling with both hands and feet, Feng Jin quickly covered her flushed face, wishing she could find a hole to hide in immediately. She grimaced and shouted at Mu Beichen, "I only have a face injury, not a broken leg, put me down right now!"
"It's alright, you're not too heavy. To put it mildly, I can withstand it for a thousand or eight hundred miles." He carried her and ran wildly, their collisions making people's vision blur, as if a fierce wind had swept past.
Was he pretending, or was he truly sincere? Staring at the sky with despair in her eyes, she froze instantly. He wouldn't stop until he got her to bed.
The Prince Jing's mansion was not far ahead. As she watched Mu Beichen carry her inside, her heart finally settled down. She let out a long sigh, thank goodness, she no longer had to appear in public.
As soon as they settled into their room, Mu Beichen rushed in from elsewhere with the imperial physician. The physician, barely catching his breath, was then forced to press Feng Jin's pulse and exclaimed, "Oh dear! Fortunately, I arrived in time, otherwise... Your Highness's wound would probably have healed by now."
Upon hearing this, Feng Jin's expression shifted from surprise to bewilderment, and finally she gave an embarrassed smile: "Thank you for your hard work, Imperial Physician. Since I am alright, please take your leave."
"etc!"
Just as the imperial physician turned to leave, Mu Beichen suddenly caught up with him and called out, "Since you're already here, are you sure you don't want to prescribe some medicine for her before you leave?"
"This... alright." The imperial physician shook his head helplessly. Under Mu Beichen's "coercion," he had no choice but to prescribe some common tonics before he would give up.
Watching the imperial physician leave from afar, Feng Jin finally breathed a sigh of relief. Pretending to be nonchalant, she turned back and gave him an awkward smile: "I told you, I only suffered a minor superficial injury, so don't be so nervous."
With a graceful flourish of his folding fan, Mu Beichen leaned forward, a dazzling light flashing in his beautiful eyes as he said with doting affection, "That won't do. As my woman, you must be unharmed at all times."
Her heart tightened, and her smile became even more forced. Why did these words sound so strange? Even if it was out of concern, was there any need to be so neurotic? He only had to make a big deal out of a minor cut on his face, and now the whole city knew about it? Only he would do something like that.
Thanks to Mu Beichen, she spent almost the entire day in fear and helplessness. She finally managed to escape and get some fresh air after he went to court to attend to official business.
Feng Jin had just stepped onto the street when she happened to see Mu Wange standing not far away, looking around furtively as if she were busy looking for something.
Out of curiosity, Feng Jin quietly slipped over and suddenly patted Mu Wange on the shoulder, asking, "What are you doing here?"
Startled by Feng Jin, Mu Wange glared at her irritably and said, "What's it to you?" Then she immediately turned her back and stared intently in a certain direction.
Feng Jin couldn't help but look in the direction Mu Wange was aiming. She saw a white-robed, jade-faced man gradually walking out of the Mingxuan Building on the side of the long street. His tall figure stood in the center of the crowd, as if he were from another world.
Isn't that Hua Mancheng? Feng Jin immediately covered her mouth and fell silent. She hadn't expected that Mu Wange was actually following Hua Mancheng! This immediately reminded her of the words she had gleaned from him not long ago.
She was startled and suddenly realized that Mu Wange harbored such feelings for Hua Mancheng. No wonder...
Thinking of this, her eyes flickered, and she quickly turned to face Mu Wange, gradually smiling: "You like him, right?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Wange's beautiful face flushed slightly. She looked at Feng Jin, her eyes darting around nervously, and whispered, "How...how did you know?"
"Because I wanted to know, I found out." Feng Jin suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and a sly look slowly appeared in her clear and bright eyes. She raised her lips slightly and chuckled softly, "I have a way to get him for you."
Seeing that Mu Wange was completely flustered upon hearing this, she raised her charming almond-shaped eyes slightly and continued to whisper in the other's ear: "As the saying goes, to win someone over, you must first win them over. You should take advantage of the time when you are alone with him to make the relationship irreversible, and as for the rest, it will naturally fall into place."
Despite all her calculations, she never expected that her unintentional words would strike a chord with Mu Wange, making the person who had previously held a deep prejudice against her seem like a completely different person.
A bright red dress, as vivid as a drop of blood, made Mu Wange's pretty face glow. She lowered her head, making it impossible to see her expression, but the surging air in her chest betrayed her true feelings.
As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Wange nodded vigorously at Feng Jin, her head bobbing like a pestle being pounded. Then, she pursed her lips and said, seemingly understanding but not quite, "I think I understand a little. Starting tomorrow, I'll try it out the way you suggested."
No way? People actually believe this nonsense? Feng Jin looked at her with suspicion, and after a long while, she slowly shifted her gaze elsewhere. Mu Wange was far less clever and wise than she had imagined. With just a few words, she had almost completely fooled the other party. Perhaps this is what they call being blinded by love?
They watched helplessly as Hua Mancheng sped past them. Suddenly, a group of girls appeared out of nowhere and surrounded him.
"Young Master Cheng, I heard you're still single. May we get to know each other?"
“Young Master Cheng, I am the only daughter of the current magistrate of Yangzhou County. If you are willing to come home with me, I will ask my father to help you get a good career.”
"Young Master Cheng, I have long admired you. I traveled all the way from a foreign land just to have the most perfect encounter of my life with you. If I can fulfill this wish in this lifetime, I would gladly die right now!"
The arguing voices of the girls in the arena still echoed in her ears, which made Mu Wange furious. She clenched her fists and ran straight ahead recklessly.
"If you all don't want to die right now, then all of you, disappear from where you are!" Mu Wange roared, immediately silencing the atmosphere in the room. Almost instantly, everyone's eyes fell on her.
