Qi Mu came to the Xiao Prince's Mansion three years ago. Before that, everyone thought that the Xiao Prince only had one son, including Qi Duan himself. It wasn't until the Xiao Princess acknowledged this son who had been living away from home that everything changed. This included Qi Duan's status and the attitude of the Xiao Prince and Princess towards him. Now, he is imprisoned here because of the witchcraft accusation. Although there are not many people to be seen in the desolate mountains, there are quite a few people watching Qi Duan from the shadows.
The once glorious future heir of the Xiao Prince's Mansion has now fallen into the state of a destitute imprisoned young master, prompting onlookers to sigh in sympathy, lamenting the vicissitudes of life.
Seeing that Qi Duan had turned his gaze to him, Feng Guang bowed and said, "Greetings, young master."
“…Miss Xia.” Qi Duan’s voice carried a slight hint of uncertainty.
"What would you like to discuss with me, young master?"
"I meant that I only saw Miss Xia."
“In this desolate wilderness, if I were alone, my father would not have allowed me to come out.”
Qi Mu laughed and said, "Yes, whatever you want to talk about, just pretend I don't exist."
Qi Duan glanced at Qi Mu, his emotions unreadable. He looked at Feng Guang, and from the first moment he saw her, he sensed that she wasn't herself. So, he slowly asked, "Where is she?"
"Who is the 'she' you're talking about, young master?" Feng Guang asked, naturally clueless.
Do you remember what happened a month ago?
"A lot happened a month ago. Are you referring to the painting of a beauty that you gave me when you were boating on the lake, or... the time I came to see you in the middle of the night sometime later?"
Qi Duan's pupils suddenly dilated, "You!"
She smiled and said, "Young master's painting skills are superb. Many people want to obtain a piece of your calligraphy and painting. Even I used to be unable to get one. Who would have thought that you would later give me a painting of a beautiful woman on your own initiative?"
“Anlu…” he called out the name subconsciously.
Feng Guang tilted her head in confusion, "An Lu? Is she the person Young Master likes?"
He was only confused for a moment before he became certain again, his expression turning cold and hard. "You are not her."
"Of course I am not her."
Why does she have memories of him and Anlu?
"Speaking of which, for the past month, it felt like I was having a nightmare." Her eyes held a smile, as if she were talking about something unrelated to herself. "After a serious illness, I was suddenly rejected by my own body, and another person entered my body. I could only cling to my body, wanting to get back in, but I couldn't take her back. I hoped that others would realize that this wasn't me, but apart from my father, even if someone noticed something was wrong, they wouldn't help me. She took my body and lived as me, while I could only be a lonely ghost. Young master, tell me, isn't this dream very strange?"
She smiled radiantly, while his face remained expressionless, though his clenched fists betrayed that his emotions were not truly calm.
Qi Mu closed his fan and held it to his lips, his narrow phoenix eyes slightly narrowed as he watched the two people in front of him. It seemed that... this scene wasn't so boring after all.
Feng Guang suddenly realized and said, "I almost forgot the main point of this trip. What exactly did you want to discuss with me, young master?"
He asked in a low voice, "Where did she go?"
"Her? Are you referring to that person named An Lu, young master?"
He remained silent.
"I'm sorry, I don't know anyone named Anlu." Her smile didn't show any remorse. "But another woman did appear in my dream, the one who took over my body. Now that I'm back, she should have disappeared, right?"
