The words were spoken.
Feng Ji stopped in her tracks and turned her gaze to him. "It depends on how deep your feelings for her really are, Jun Heng. Are you absolutely in love with her now and in the future, or is this just a passing fancy?"
Fu Junheng remained silent.
Feng Ji didn't ask any more questions, but simply said, "Even you get deeply involved in matters of the heart. I just hope that whatever choice you make, Junheng, you won't regret it in the future."
A heartfelt warning.
"Don't end up like me."
As Feng Ji finished speaking, a trace of sorrow appeared in his eyes.
As Fu Junheng watched Feng Ji's departing figure, he understood perfectly what Feng Ji meant.
Inside the Marquis's residence.
After Mu Chenshuang finished dealing with the affairs of the Marquis's residence, she spent her free time reading and resting. Linglong carried some snacks and walked towards the pavilion, where she saw Honghua standing motionless under the eaves, watching the pavilion.
Linglong walked up to Honghua with a puzzled look and patted her on the shoulder.
"Red Flower, what are you looking at?"
Honghua suddenly came to her senses, turned her head to look at Linglong, and said with a sigh, "I was just looking at her. How could there be such a beautiful woman as a princess in this world? Even I, a woman, couldn't help but be moved."
Linglong looked into the pavilion.
Mu Chenshuang wore a light-colored flowing fairy dress, with a pure white fox fur draped over her body. She was noble and elegant. Her long, ink-black hair was casually tied up with a hairband and a hairpin. A faint halo of light fell around her, like falling stars, making her dazzlingly beautiful.
Spring flowers are in full bloom, but they cannot compare to even half the beauty of the woman in the pavilion.
Mu Chenshuang put down the book in her hand and looked at the two people standing motionless under the eaves. "What are you two doing standing there?"
After they regained their senses, Linglong quickly stepped forward with the snacks in her hands, while Honghua followed beside her.
"Miss is so beautiful, we don't know what to do!" Linglong said with a smile.
Mu Chenshuang looked at Linglong and said softly, "You ate candied fruit this morning, your mouth is so sweet."
Linglong jokingly replied, "I'm telling the truth, Miss, someone as beautiful as you, I wonder who could possibly be worthy of you?"
"I think Crown Prince Junheng and Miss are a perfect match."
As soon as Honghua uttered the words, she immediately realized something. Seeing the princess's face darken instantly, she panicked and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, Princess, I..."
Mu Chenshuang said calmly, "It's alright."
At this moment.
Cheng Li and Wei Xu walked into the courtyard. Wei Xu was covering his right wrist as if he was injured.
Since Qi Ye wasn't there, Mu Chen Shuang asked Cheng Li to teach Wei Xu a lesson.
"What's wrong?"
Chengli sincerely admitted his mistake, "Sister Shuang, I accidentally injured the young master's wrist."
Wei Xu looked completely lost, especially when he saw the look Mu Chenshuang was giving him. He felt ashamed, realizing he was even less capable than a ten-year-old child.
Mu Chenshuang didn't say anything, but simply asked Linglong to bring over the silver needles.
Wei Xu asked in surprise, "You also know medicine?"
"Anyway, it won't ruin your hands."
Mu Chenshuang examined Wei Xu's wrist and found that the injury was quite severe. If it wasn't treated promptly, it might take several months to heal.
"Xiao Li, what happened?" Mu Chenshuang asked.
Chengli hurriedly said, "I...I didn't control my strength properly, so..."
Chengli has a great talent for martial arts. He grasps the concepts very quickly with just a little guidance. Moreover, he possesses a very strong internal force, which he is currently unable to control skillfully.
"In the future, you should practice the Heart Sutra I gave you more often to control your strength."
Chengli nodded, "I will. I'll go practice now."
After saying that, he turned and quickly left.
Linglong fetched the silver needles.
Mu Chenshuang gave Wei Xu a few acupuncture needles, and after a short while, Wei Xu clearly felt his wrist regain its strength and no longer felt any pain.
His admiration for Mu Chenshuang grew even stronger.
"Master, is there anything you can't do? You're so amazing."
Now he only wants to focus on training with Mu Chenshuang.
Mu Chenshuang didn't answer him. "That's enough for today. Go back and study the cultivation method I gave you carefully these next two days."
Wei Xu responded with an "oh".
At this moment.
The butler strode in from outside the courtyard.
He rehired Mu Chenshuang as the steward of the Marquis's mansion.
"Princess, the newly recruited maid has arrived. Would you like to take a look?"
"Bring it over!"
These were all maids assigned to Tingzhu Courtyard, and she needed to inspect them personally.
The steward then brought five maids to Mu Chenshuang. He explained that they were all sent from the government; three were maids who had been laid off from other impoverished households, and the other two had been sold by their parents due to poverty.
The butler showed the records to Mu Chenshuang for review.
Mu Chenshuang glanced at the file and found no problems. She then said, "Raise your head."
The maids all raised their heads, their eyes filled with obsequious respect, not daring to overstep their bounds in the slightest.
Mu Chenshuang noticed a scar on the far right maid's lower right jaw that resembled a birthmark and asked, "What happened to your face?"
The maid instinctively reached out and touched the scar, a hint of worry and fear in her eyes. She replied nervously and respectfully, "Your Highness, this is a birthmark I was born with. I hope Your Highness will not find it offensive. I am capable of doing the hardest and dirtiest work."
Mu Chenshuang glanced at her indifferently and said nothing.
"Butler Lin, assign them to their posts!"
"yes."
Steward Lin left with his maid.
However, just as the scarred maid left the courtyard, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
