Fu Junheng's face was somber, and his lips were tightly pressed together.
Feng Ji sighed, "Actually, this matter was destined to be very difficult from the beginning. After all, you've never liked a woman before, and women's minds are inherently difficult to grasp, so it's normal that you didn't handle it well. Especially now that undercurrents are surging, it's hard to find a solution right now. So the only thing to do is to complete what you need to do, and once everything settles down, perhaps the problem will naturally be solved."
Fu Junheng just silently drank his wine, his mood clearly low.
“I believe you, Junheng, have a sense of justice. Right now, the most important thing is for you to get back to Shengjing. I'll take care of Princess Weiyang here in the capital.”
Fu Junheng glanced at Feng Ji, reached out and poured him a glass of wine, saying, "I will definitely keep my promise to you."
Feng Ji chuckled softly, raised his wine glass, and gestured for him to clink glasses.
Fu Junheng picked up his wine glass.
The wine glasses clinked.
Feng Ji took a sip of wine. "I have always believed in you, Junheng."
Mu Chenshuang returned to the Marquis's residence. Without any attempt to avoid her, she entered directly through the main gate and went into the courtyard. Linglong was waiting there. Upon seeing her return, she hurriedly stepped forward and said anxiously, "Miss, you're back! The Marquis..."
Mu Chenshuang remained calm and simply said, "I understand. You can go ahead and do your work."
Linglong whispered, "Miss, the Marquis looks very unwell."
"fine."
As Mu Chenshuang entered the living room, she felt a sense of oppressive atmosphere.
Lord Mu sat in the main seat, his stern eyes fixed on Mu Chenshuang, and his deep voice interrogated, "Where did you go?"
Mu Chenshuang stood in front of Lord Mu, her back straight, her gaze calm as she looked at him. She did not hide anything and said directly, "I went to the palace today and met the Empress Dowager. Father, you also said that I can visit the Empress Dowager in the palace often."
Lord Mu's face darkened. "Didn't I also say that you are not allowed to leave the courtyard?"
Mu Chenshuang asked directly, "Father, do you think I'm a burden?"
The words were spoken.
Lord Mu's pupils dilated slightly in surprise.
"I am also a member of the Marquis's family, the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's family, and I share the honor and disgrace of the Marquis's family."
She wasn't actually a member of the Marquis's household, nor did she belong to this country, but since she had taken over the original owner's body, she had to do what she was supposed to do.
Mu Chenshuang's resolute words softened Lord Mu's expression somewhat.
"No matter what Father thinks, when it comes to matters of principle, I will always stand by your side. Whether you believe it or not, in the entire Marquis's mansion, Father, I am the only one you can trust the most."
She will not abandon the Marquis's mansion; she will stay here forever.
Lord Mu looked at her.
After a brief silence.
The fierceness in Lord Mu's eyes dissipated, leaving only helplessness. He stood up, walked to Mu Chenshuang, and put his arm around her shoulder.
All that could be heard was a sigh from Lord Mu, who said, "It's not that your father doesn't trust Shuang'er, it's just that he doesn't want you to get involved in things you shouldn't be involved in."
“Even if I don’t get involved, anyone who wants to harm the Marquis’s mansion will drag the entire mansion into a vortex, and no one can remain unscathed. I don’t want to do nothing and just wait around. I’m well aware of the current situation, so how can I remain indifferent? I really want to know, Father, what are your plans now?”
Lord Mu's expression darkened. He withdrew his hand, patted her shoulder, and asked, "You say you understand the current situation, then tell me, what exactly do you know?"
Mu Chenshuang asked directly, "If my guess is correct, the emperor's mental state is definitely not as good as before."
Lord Mu nodded. "Indeed."
"The fact that the Imperial Observatory, as His Majesty's confidant, turns a blind eye to this is enough to show that the Imperial Observatory has ulterior motives and has probably already found a new master. If even the Imperial Observatory has ulterior motives, then the ministers in the court have probably also taken sides."
The Empress's confinement was clearly a warning to the Shen family. If I'm not mistaken, it's because Prime Minister Shen said something in court that displeased the Emperor.
Lord Mu listened to Mu Chenshuang's words with a solemn expression. He had not expected that Shuang'er could guess so many things even when she was not in the court.
"So, Shuang'er, who do you think is behind this?"
"Right now, who else could His Majesty care about and favor most besides Feng Moran?"
