Mu Chenshuang continued calmly, "If it was because of the situation the Marquis's mansion faced back then that my mother felt hopeless and chose to end her life, that is also possible. So it is not the fault of the Chengtian Bureau."
Even though Mu Chenshuang now hates Chengtianjian and Zhu Qin to the core, she cannot show it in front of Feng Mozhan.
She felt that what she said was reasonable. After all, if Xie Changqing was only worried about the Jingbian Marquis's mansion being punished and committed suicide in advance, it would make sense logically.
Just when Mu Chenshuang thought she could use this excuse to get away with Feng Mozhan, she unexpectedly saw Feng Mozhan staring at her with a very strange look.
Mu Chenshuang felt somewhat uncomfortable under his gaze.
Just as she was about to say goodbye and leave, she heard Feng Mo Ran suddenly burst into exaggerated laughter, as if no one else was around.
"Hahaha, good, well said." Feng Mozhan finally realized what Mu Chenshuang had just said.
Regardless of whether Mu Chenshuang's statement about not caring about the Chengtianjian matter was true or false, he finally understood from her calm expression and emotions.
Lord Mu never told Mu Chenshuang the truth about what happened back then!
If Lord Mu were to recount Xie Changqing's past experiences, regardless of whether that person was from the Imperial Observatory or a minister in the court, and regardless of his current position, Mu Chenshuang's hatred for him would be unmistakably revealed.
Feng Mozhan believed that if Mu Chenshuang really knew the truth, she would definitely want to kill her enemy immediately, instead of being so calm and indifferent as she was now.
Feng Mozhan looked at Mu Chenshuang with a pitying and regretful expression, which annoyed Mu Chenshuang.
"Why is the Second Prince acting this way?" Mu Chenshuang frowned, her eyes filled with questioning.
Feng Mo Ran lowered his eyes and smiled, then thought for a moment and looked up, saying, "It seems that Lord Mu still can't bear to tell you the truth. Since you believe what Lord Mu said, then this prince has nothing more to say."
"Please." Feng Mozhan also saw that Mu Chenshuang intended to leave, and shook his head with a cold smile, agreeing to let her go.
Mu Chenshuang, her hands clenched tightly in her sleeves, stared at the somewhat unusual Feng Mozhan. After a moment, though she had some doubts, she didn't ask and prepared to turn and leave.
Mu Chenshuang quickened her pace toward the door, and just as her hand touched the door, she heard Feng Mozhan's voice sound behind her again.
"I think one day you will discover the truth. Once you know the truth, I'm afraid you will find it difficult to speak to me so calmly here."
Feng Mo Ran said with an air of confidence, "If you still want revenge on that day, you can still come to me, but you know in your heart what you will need to exchange for it."
Upon hearing this, Mu Chenshuang paused in her action of opening the door, but after a brief silence, she neither answered nor turned around, and instead opened the door and left without a word.
After leaving the teahouse, Mu Chenshuang was finally able to calmly consider the hidden meaning in Feng Mozhan's words.
If what he said is true, then could it be that Lord Mu really lied to him?
But why would Lord Mu still need a liar at this point?
Mu Chenshuang couldn't quite understand what Lord Mu was doing.
He had clearly stated that he would not follow the venomous Feng Mo Ran, would support Feng Xi Lan, and would find an opportunity to overturn the case of the Prince of Li Bei. So what was there that he needed to hide from him about Xie Chang Qing's death?
