“I understand, but His Highness the Crown Prince has been kind to us. If it weren’t for His Highness the Crown Prince saving us from danger, we wouldn’t be where we are today.”
Mei Jing frowned slightly, her voice trembling with emotion.
"Your Highness's kindness is something we will both remember, but you must not forget our duty."
Liangchen reminded him once again.
Meijing looked up and hummed in agreement, but a resolute look once again appeared in her eyes.
Prince's Mansion.
Mu Chenshuang's eyelids twitched suddenly, and she became absent-minded once again.
By the end of the day, Mu Chenshuang had lost count of how many times she had drifted off into thought.
"Miss, would you like some ginseng soup?"
Linglong, who was standing next to Mu Chenshuang, noticed the unusual look on Mu Chenshuang's face and couldn't help but speak up.
Mu Chenshuang shook her head slightly, a smile appearing on her face.
"I've been very busy these past few days, and I'm probably a little tired. I'll rest for a while."
"Linglong will help you to bed to rest."
Mu Chenshuang did not refuse, and slowly stood up, her hand on her forehead.
Linglong reached out and helped Mu Chenshuang walk to the bedside.
Mu Chenshuang suddenly froze, then looked sharply at Linglong.
"Linglong, do you still remember the jade pendant at the waist of the woman who fell into the water that I mentioned to you the other day?"
Linglong nodded in astonishment.
“Miss, I remember you mentioned this.”
"I remember now, the pattern on that jade pendant is exactly the same as Mu Yazhi's jade pendant!"
"ah?"
Linglong looked surprised and exclaimed "Ah!" before falling silent.
Considering the woman's attire, Linglong couldn't possibly guess how it could be related to a wealthy family.
If a woman's clothes are too ordinary and her hair is not adorned with any ornaments, she cannot even be considered a girl from a modest family.
However, the jade pendant hanging from her waist was extremely precious.
Unexpectedly, it was Mu Yazhi's.
But why would the Third Miss give the jade pendant to an ordinary woman?
Could it be that the woman deliberately fell into the water to lure her mistress to rescue her?
Isn't that a bit too risky?
While Linglong was shocked, many thoughts flashed through her mind, but after thinking it over, she still felt that it didn't quite make sense.
"Miss, I am too stupid to figure out the connection between these two things."
Linglong looked at Mu Chenshuang with a troubled expression.
Mu Chenshuang slowly sat down at the head of the bed, her willow-leaf eyebrows slightly furrowed.
Besides being able to determine that the jade pendant at the woman's waist was exactly the same as Mu Yazhi's, Mu Chenshuang couldn't guess anything else.
Logically speaking, if the woman who fell into the water was in cahoots with Mu Yazhi, she didn't do anything to her.
But if they weren't in cahoots, how do you explain the jade pendant incident?
Mu Chenshuang looked at Linglong and finally spoke.
"Even now, I can't guess anything. My mind is a complete mess."
"Miss, perhaps things are not as complicated as you think. You must be tired, so please get some rest."
Mu Chenshuang no longer refused, letting Linglong adjust the backrest, and then slowly lay down.
The image of the jade pendant flashed through her mind again, and Mu Chenshuang prayed in her heart that this matter had nothing to do with the current situation.
The entire Prince's Mansion is currently in the eye of the storm, but Mu Yazhi is short-sighted. If Mu Yazhi causes any more trouble, I will definitely not show any mercy!
"By the way, have any messages come back from the people you sent out?"
Upon hearing Mu Chenshuang's question, Linglong's expression turned serious once again.
