Apart from Mu Yazhi making a big fuss about it, there was no other news from the entire Jingbian Marquis's residence.
Mu Chenshuang sat at the yellow pearwood table, frowning in deep thought.
Things are unusual right now, but I don't even have anyone to complain to.
Feng Ji has been gone for several days, and no letters have been sent during that time.
However, no news is the best news, and that's all Mu Chenshuang can think for now.
Mu Chenshuang's brows furrowed into a knot, and Linglong beside her also showed a worried expression.
After a short while, Linglong couldn't hold back any longer and finally spoke.
"Is Miss worried about Her Majesty the Empress?"
Mu Chenshuang nodded directly.
It's not that the Emperor would have fallen ill earlier or later, but he just happened to be so seriously ill while the Empress was by his side. Hopefully, he will recover soon this time, otherwise…
Mu Chenshuang dared not think too much about what would happen next, and could only watch as everything went smoothly for the Empress.
"Miss, Her Majesty the Empress is blessed with good fortune and will be fine. Besides, if anything were to happen, we would definitely receive the news in the shortest possible time."
Mu Chenshuang reached out to touch her forehead and took a deep breath.
Linglong is right, there's no use in being anxious right now.
Perhaps because she was pregnant, Mu Chenshuang felt particularly anxious lately, and even her judgment accuracy had decreased significantly.
"By the way, how's the jade pendant thing you were asked to investigate going?"
As soon as Mu Chenshuang finished speaking, Linglong shook her head.
After searching high and low, there was still no news.
Mu Yazhi did not mention that the jade pendant was lost, and the people Linglong sent out also failed to find the woman who fell into the water that day.
It seems this lead will likely be abandoned halfway through.
Mu Chenshuang was not surprised by the result reported by Linglong.
Mu Yazhi seems a bit off right now, and it's quite possible that she really did give that jade pendant to someone else.
"It seems I was overthinking it; perhaps nothing really will happen."
Despite her unease, Mu Chenshuang uttered these words to comfort herself.
Just then, a series of light footsteps sounded outside the door.
Immediately afterwards, a young maid rushed in.
As soon as the maid saw Linglong, she hurriedly knelt on the ground.
"Sister Linglong, please save Sister Honghua! The Third Miss has locked Sister Honghua in the courtyard and is whipping her! Sister Linglong, please hurry over, or it will be too late!"
The young maid was trembling all over, panting heavily, and her words were somewhat incoherent.
After she finished speaking, the maid kept kowtowing. When she looked up, she found that Mu Chenshuang was also in the room.
"Miss, Miss, help! Sister Honghua has been captured by the Third Miss!"
Mu Chenshuang's face was as if covered with a thin layer of ice, and then she stood up.
It wasn't because the maid in front of her hadn't seen her, but because the maid's words displeased Mu Chenshuang.
Honghua is now one of our own, and even if Mu Yazhi is arrogant and domineering, she cannot treat Honghua like this.
Even if Honghua did something wrong, she should be punished by her master. Who does Mu Yazhi think she is?
Linglong was shocked after hearing this, her face turned pale, and her voice trembled as she spoke.
"Miss, what should we do now?"
