Three days later.
After the court session, Lord Mu immediately ordered someone to summon Mu Chenshuang to his study.
When Mu Chenshuang arrived at the study, she saw Lord Mu and asked, "Father, what brings you here?"
Lord Mu looked at Mu Chenshuang with a solemn expression and asked, "Shuang'er, what have you been investigating lately?"
Mu Chenshuang met Lord Mu's gaze and answered truthfully without any concealment, "I will investigate the cause of my mother's death again."
The words were spoken.
Lord Mu's eyes flickered slightly as he stopped her, "Your mother's case has already been settled, she has long since passed away, Shuang'er, you don't need to create trouble for yourself by trying to overturn the case."
Looking at Lord Mu's resolute attitude, Mu Chenshuang's eyes darkened, and she said in a deep voice, "I'm not sure if my mother has truly rested in peace, but your reaction now makes me feel that my mother's case is not so simple."
After she finished speaking, Lord Mu's face instantly turned serious, revealing his imposing aura. "Shuang'er, this matter ends here. You don't need to investigate any further. Although you are a princess, without the consent of the Dali Temple, your unauthorized reopening of the case is a violation of the Tianzhao Law. If this gets to His Majesty's ears, how will you explain it?"
Mu Chenshuang did not back down at all. "What I am doing now is not overturning the case, but investigating the people and events related to that year. How can this be considered a violation of the Tianzhao Law?"
The words had barely left his mouth.
With a snap.
Lord Mu slammed his hand heavily on the tea table, his eyes displaying the sharp, commanding presence of a general, inspiring fear in all who beheld him. Mu Chenshuang, however, stared at Lord Mu without flinching.
Lord Mu took a deep breath, calmed down, looked at Mu Chenshuang, and said, "Let's leave it at that."
With an air of unquestionable authority.
Mu Chenshuang's eyes narrowed, and she said, "Father, you have to give me a reason that I can believe. Anyway, I don't believe in the conclusions that have already been reached. Otherwise, Father, don't blame me for continuing to investigate until I get the answer I want."
She did not compromise in the slightest.
Father and daughter face each other.
If it were anyone else facing Lord Mu's current imposing aura, they would probably be too scared to say a word. Even the former Mu Chenshuang would not dare to utter another word.
But at this moment, Mu Chenshuang was serious and resolute, without the slightest compromise. Her cold and imposing aura was no less than that of Lord Mu.
Lord Mu looked at Mu Chenshuang with a deep gaze. The current Mu Chenshuang was indeed very unfamiliar to him, and she was not like his former daughter at all. After spending a year in the Eastern Palace, she had changed so much.
“If your father tries to stop you, do you think you still have connections to continue the investigation? Your father is doing this for your own good.”
Mu Chenshuang said firmly, "Such a vague reason is not convincing to your daughter. However, judging from Father's appearance, you probably know some inside information. This really makes your daughter wonder how much of your feelings for my mother are left."
Lord Mu's expression changed drastically. "Even if you have doubts now, Shuang'er, you cannot question my feelings for your mother."
"I don't want to, I just want to know the truth."
Lord Mu had not expected Mu Chenshuang to be so resolute. He ordered, "Guards, escort the princess back to her room. From today onwards, the princess shall not be allowed to step out of the manor."
Immediately afterwards, two guards walked up behind Mu Chenshuang.
Mu Chenshuang frowned and stared at Lord Mu, her fingers clenching tightly. She only said one sentence, "Father's escape will not solve the problem, but will only bring endless disaster."
