"Princess Consort Sheng?" Wei Cheng immediately took two steps back, maintaining a polite distance from Mu Run. "What are your instructions, Princess Consort?"
“The Third Madam borrowed money from my mistress, so I specially brought it over.”
"What?" Wei Cheng frowned immediately. "She's borrowing money?"
"yes."
"Why?"
"They say the third young master lost money in business."
As he spoke, Mu Run took out a silver note from his sleeve and handed it to Wei Cheng, saying, "Please pass this on, Third Young Master. I'll go back to serve the Empress now."
With a slight curtsy, Mu Run turned and left without waiting for his reply.
No sooner had she left than Madam Wei arrived, and then she saw Wei Cheng's extremely pale face and the silver notes in his hand...
I immediately sensed something was wrong, my legs went weak, and I almost couldn't stand up.
"My lord, please let me explain."
"Fine! Slow down and explain!"
...
Upon returning to Prince Sheng's residence, Mu Run did not go to the Princess Consort's place, but instead returned to Shi Xuan's courtyard.
A hen has just laid an egg and is clucking proudly.
Shi Xuan came out of the house with a handful of sorghum rice in his hand. When he saw Mu Run, he looked very surprised. "You're back?" He then threw the sorghum rice to the hen.
Mu Run watched the hen clucking and eating sorghum rice, then casually reached into the coop to collect the eggs. There were five, and he took four of them. "I did something that offended the Princess, so I probably can't work at Hanzhang Garden anymore."
"Oh? Tell me about it." A hint of curiosity flashed in Shi Xuan's dark eyes.
Mu Run replied, "Madam Wei the Third came to borrow money again. She said her husband lost money in business. The Princess Consort couldn't bear to see her in trouble, so she lent her money from the Prince's Mansion. I inquired about it and found out that Young Master Wei the Third not only didn't lose money in business, but actually made a lot of money. So today, when I went to get the money, I made an excuse to delay and chose a time during lunch break, when Madam Wei the Third was serving the Lady of the Marquis, and handed the money to Young Master Wei the Third."
"This shouldn't be considered an offense, and we even helped the princess get the money back."
"Who knows? What if Young Master Wei is also greedy for money? They didn't write an IOU, so they might not pay it back."
"No way, they don't even know who the creditor is. Although the money came from the Princess, it's Prince Sheng's money, and he wouldn't dare to owe it."
“That’s true. I’m still hungry. Is there anything to eat at home?” Mu Run handed four eggs to Shi Xuan.
Shi Xuan reached out and took it, inevitably touching Mu Run's slightly cool fingertips.
"No... I haven't cooked since you haven't been back to stay these past few days. How about I take you out to eat?"
"I don't want to go out." Mu Run rubbed her stomach. "Boil these eggs, and I'll take a nap after I eat them. Taking care of the Princess these past few days has been exhausting."
"I'll go to the kitchen and see if there's anything else to eat, and I'll get you some."
"Okay, thank you for your help." Mu Run said with a smile.
Shi Xuan looked at her and hesitated, "Actually... you don't need to serve the princess."
"She definitely didn't say that; it was my own choice to stay and take care of her. Why don't you go and tell Hanzhangyuan that I'm not feeling well and won't be able to go and take care of her for now?" Seeing that Madam Yan's recovery after the surgery is going well, there shouldn't be any problems in the future.
"Then I'll go over there right now." Shi Xuan seemed to be hoping she wouldn't have to serve Madam Yan.
After Shi Xuan left, Mu Run took off her shoes and outer clothes, lay down on the bed, and rested while hugging the quilt.
She fell asleep shortly afterward.
After she fell asleep, a man in black suddenly appeared in the courtyard...
