“I see.” Mu Chunxi’s gaze towards Linglong became subtle. “In that case, I can only wait until Shen Shuang wakes up before I can talk to her.”
"I will tell the lady."
Linglong's tense heart relaxed. Although her expression didn't change much, Mu Chunxi noticed it.
With her keen eye for people and things, she could clearly tell that Linglong was nervous and wanted her to leave quickly.
So Mu Chenshuang isn't resting at all right now.
The moment she guessed at a certain possibility, her heart ached as if it were being pricked by needles.
Mu Chunxi walked towards the door, then suddenly stopped, turned back to Linglong, and asked, "Linglong, there's something I want to ask you."
Linglong asked in confusion, "Second Miss, what's the matter?"
"The bodyguards around Shen Shuang don't seem to be from the manor. Did Shen Shuang bring them back from outside?"
Linglong was taken aback; the second young lady was so curious about Qiye's affairs.
She didn't know how to answer for a moment. Although the second young lady didn't seem as malicious as the madam and the third young lady, she was still the madam's daughter, so she still had to be wary of her.
"Indeed, why does Miss ask this?"
Linglong didn't explain further.
Mu Chunxi smiled faintly, "It's nothing, just asking out of curiosity. But since I'm not from the household, and I don't know their background, it's best to be cautious. After all, the Marquis's residence is different from other places."
The implication in his words couldn't be clearer.
"Why is Miss so suspicious of me? Do we know each other before?"
Seven Nights' voice came from outside the door.
Linglong looked up and saw Qi Ye walk from one side to Mu Chunxi.
He was almost a head taller than Mu Chunxi, his gaze fixed intently on her.
Even so, Mu Chunxi was no weaker than Qi Ye, and even had the momentum of being evenly matched.
“I don’t know you, but I have to remind Shen Shuang about people of unknown origin who appear in the Marquis’s residence.”
"How could Miss Mu know? Doesn't Miss know my background?"
"I was just trying to remind Shen Shuang of something, and I wasn't wrong. If you are truly loyal to Shen Shuang, you can completely disregard what I said. But if you care so much, it would raise suspicion."
Mu Chunxi spoke calmly and unhurriedly, yet subtly left Qi Ye speechless.
"Second Miss, you are extremely loyal to Qi Ye. I think no one knows your subordinate's character better than your master, so you don't need to worry."
Linglong refuted Mu Chunxi's words on behalf of Qi Ye.
Mu Chunxi turned around, looked at Linglong, and smiled slightly, "Then it seems I was overthinking it. In that case, I'm relieved."
Mu Chunxi stepped over the threshold and left.
As Qi Ye watched Mu Chunxi's departing figure, his gaze grew serious.
"Does the Second Miss know you?" Linglong asked doubtfully.
"Who knows? I've never seen it."
Linglong was puzzled; could it be her imagination?
Mu Chunxi left Tingzhu Courtyard.
He suddenly stopped, frowned, and looked in the direction of Mu Chenshuang's boudoir. His fingers clenched involuntarily, and his face was extremely gloomy.
I looked away and tried to calm myself down.
Although she didn't understand why His Highness kept Qi Qingye by Mu Chenshuang's side.
With Your Highness's methods, he will be completely obliterated.
However, if the chief assassin of the Dark Night was employed by Mu Chenshuang in the Marquis's residence, what would happen if His Majesty heard of this?
She, Mu Chenshuang, will absolutely not escape punishment.
Instantly.
A sinister glint appeared in Mu Chunxi's eyes.
Inside the boudoir.
The lingering heat faded, leaving only low, hurried sounds. The woman's fair and tender skin was covered in an ambiguous red.
Their silver and black hair intertwined, their fingers clasped together, a tender yet ambiguous scene.
Mu Chenshuang lay weakly on the man, her flushed cheeks full of satisfaction.
The lingering, intoxicating feeling was something she couldn't escape.
Fu Junheng leaned back, reached out and took the blanket to cover the woman, his eyes showing even more weariness than the woman in his arms.
His fingers gently traced the woman's hair. If he had known the outcome, how could he have gotten her pregnant that one time? Now, he couldn't fully release himself.
Controlling your strength takes more energy than using all your strength.
"Fu Junheng!"
Mu Chenshuang suddenly called out weakly.
Fu Junheng looked at the woman in his arms with tender eyes and asked in a deep, husky voice, "What's wrong?"
"How does it feel to be pregnant with another man's child and yet be so loving towards you?"
He asked in a casual yet serious tone.
Fu Junheng's eyes darkened slightly. "You've already asked this question once?"
The answer was that he only cared about her as a person.
"But I'm a little skeptical."
"Then what will it take for you to believe me?"
Mu Chenshuang said frankly, "I don't know either." After a long pause, she sighed and continued, "Sometimes I doubt whether this child is yours, but why won't you admit it?"
Fu Junheng listened intently to the woman's words, whether intentional or not, his dark eyes unfathomable.
“If it were mine, do you think I would deny our current situation? I shouldn’t be able to use this as an excuse to take you away.”
"yes!"
