Fu Junheng did not respond to Feng Anxue, and strode away with a sullen face.
Feng Anxue's heart clenched. She glanced back at Mu Chenshuang's door, then lowered her gaze, a dark glint flashing in her eyes. She quickly followed Fu Junheng's footsteps.
Mu Chenshuang sat inside the room.
Taking a deep breath to calm himself, he asked, "They're gone?"
A reply came from outside the door: "I'm gone."
Then Qi Ye pushed open the door and walked in. "Miss, are we just going to let it go like this?"
"It's good that she knows when to back down. Besides, if I keep pressing her, I won't get anything out of her, and I'll just cause that guard to die for no reason."
Lu Wei's forte is silencing the living forever, and then making others take the blame while she remains unscathed.
After the incident at Chengtianjian, she finally understood that a small setback could not harm Lu Wei at all, and that it would not be an easy task to bring her down.
Qi Yexi laughed and said, "I didn't realize that Miss was so kind-hearted."
Mu Chenshuang raised her eyes and glared at him. "It's not my style to involve innocent people."
Qi Ye didn't ask any more questions and sat down on the stool, saying, "I think that His Highness the Crown Prince came here on purpose to curry favor. I guess he must have special feelings for you, Miss."
Mu Chenshuang looked at him, "Since you're so good at guessing, then guess what he was thinking when he first saw you?"
The moment Fu Junheng saw Qi Ye, a murderous aura flashed in his eyes. Although it was brief, she could still clearly feel it.
Qi Ye said nonchalantly, "They probably want to slit my throat."
"Then guess why he wanted to kill you?"
Qi Ye stroked his chin, squinted in thought, and said seriously, "It's probably because Master's handsome and charming appearance made him feel threatened."
Mu Chenshuang rolled her eyes. "You're quite confident in yourself."
Qi Ye looked up, his face full of confidence, "Am I, handsome and dashing, not capable of creating a sense of crisis?"
Mu Chenshuang chuckled. Although he had reason to be narcissistic, he was no match for someone as exceptionally talented as Fu Junheng.
He chuckled and continued, "There's nothing wrong with being confident. Alright, you can go out now."
At this moment.
Linglong walked in quickly.
Seeing her tense expression, Mu Chenshuang asked, "What's wrong?"
Linglong explained, "Miss, I just went to the woodshed to get some firewood and saw the maid who serves the Third Miss lying on the ground covered in blood. She begged me to save her, but I didn't know what to do. Judging from her condition, if I didn't take care of her, she probably wouldn't be able to hold on much longer."
Upon hearing this, Mu Chenshuang stood up without hesitation and said, "Let's go and take a look."
We arrived at the woodshed.
The maid was lying unconscious in the haystack, her back soaked in blood. If she guessed correctly, Lu Wei had ordered the maid to be beaten with a cane and then left to die in the woodshed.
Mu Chenshuang stepped forward to check on the maid's condition; she was still breathing.
"Seven Nights, carry her out."
The maid was temporarily taken to Linglong's room.
Mu Chenshuang sat on the edge of the bed, carefully cutting open the coarse cotton clothes on the back of the maid with scissors in her hand. The back and buttocks were already a bloody mess.
Linglong turned pale with fright upon seeing this.
Mu Chenshuang calmly used the medicinal powder to disinfect her back.
After everything was settled, the maid stirred, muttering the words "I'm so hungry."
Mu Chenshuang asked Linglong to prepare some food.
One hour later.
The maid woke up from the pain.
