Lord Mu coughed loudly, his face turning red.
"For a young lady of such high status to scheme against a servant is utterly shameful. How can the third young lady of the Marquis's mansion have such a narrow mind?"
Seeing how angry Lord Mu was, Mu Chenshuang didn't say anything more, but coldly waited for Lord Mu to continue.
"Go, bring the Third Miss here to me!"
Lord Mu's voice was sharp, and the servants beside him immediately stood up upon hearing it.
Soon, besides Zhang San, only Lord Mu and Mu Chenshuang remained in the room.
Lord Mu's expression softened, and his tone when speaking to Mu Chenshuang became much calmer.
"Shuang'er is angry about this. Calm down first. Father knows you've been wronged, but now is not the time to make a big fuss over this, don't you think?!"
Mu Chenshuang understood that these were turbulent times, and the entire Marquis's mansion could no longer withstand any more storms.
However, Mu Yazhi went too far in bullying people.
She dared to treat the people around her like that; it was clearly a deliberate provocation.
Normally, Mu Chenshuang would never do this; she could handle things privately.
But things are different now. Lu Wei's identity has been exposed, and it can even be said that the status of Lu Wei and her son in the Marquis's mansion has plummeted.
If he settles things with Mu Yazhi in private, Lu Wei might become desperate and do something rash.
Therefore, whether or not she wanted to go, Mu Chenshuang still felt it was better for Lord Mu to handle this matter.
This is why I brought Zhang San directly to Lord Mu's study.
“Father, I understand what you are thinking, and I hope you can give Honghua justice. As far as I know, the poison in Honghua’s body has already invaded her heart and spleen, and she won’t live for more than a few days.”
Mu Chenshuang frowned as soon as she said these words.
Seeing this scene, Lord Mu also sighed.
This is all my fault.
Lord Mu usually turned a blind eye to Mu Yazhi's arrogance and domineering behavior.
That's why Mu Yazhi has caused this trouble.
"Don't worry, I will definitely get to the bottom of this and give you a satisfactory result."
Lord Mu's words put Mu Chenshuang's mind at ease.
However, the thought of Mu Yazhi kept Mu Chenshuang's face cold.
Next, Mu Yazhi will inevitably cause some trouble, and I'd like to see what tricks she can use to escape this situation.
Indeed, one hears the voice before seeing the person.
Not long after, footsteps were heard outside the study, followed by the sound of sobbing coming from afar.
Without even thinking, Mu Chenshuang knew that Mu Yazhi was going to use a self-inflicted injury tactic.
Relying on the fact that Lord Mu had watched her grow up over the years and couldn't bear to blame him, Mu Yazhi repeatedly tested Lord Mu's bottom line.
Mu Yazhi believed that if she made a fuss this time, Lord Mu would let her off the hook and let the matter drop.
But today, Mu Chenshuang is determined not to let Mu Yazhi get through this ordeal so easily.
Thinking of Honghua's injuries and her near-death state, Mu Chenshuang's heart tightened again.
It's all because of me that Honghua has become like this. I must avenge Honghua.
Mu Chenshuang looked sad and her eyebrows furrowed slightly.
As Mu Chenshuang was deep in thought, Mu Yazhi entered the study with tears streaming down her face.
