Mu Chenshuang looked at Lu Wei with sharp eyes, "You trespassed into my courtyard, Aunt Lu, you really don't take this princess seriously."
Lu Wei met Mu Chenshuang's gaze and said, "Shuang'er, don't blame your aunt. Last night, Ya'er was poisoned. I searched the entire Hou Mansion but couldn't find the poisoner or the poison. Only your place hasn't been searched yet, so I had no choice. I can't let the person who framed Ya'er get away with it."
Mu Chenshuang's expression was cold, a chilling smile curving her lips as she strode forward, each step carrying an intimidating aura.
Lu Wei's expression remained outwardly calm, but she couldn't help feeling flustered inside, overwhelmed by this invisible aura.
Mu Chenshuang stopped and stood to Lu Wei's side, coldly saying, "Lu Wei, don't think that just because you're in charge of the Marquis's mansion now, you're the master here and have the audacity to bring your guards and trespass into my courtyard. The Marquis's mansion isn't your territory. Today, I'll see who dares to take a step forward!"
The last sentence carried a stern warning, and its powerful aura made all the guards of the Marquis's mansion freeze in place, unable to move.
Lu Wei's eyes darkened slightly, her chin lifted slightly, her breathing became heavy, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes.
Turning to look at Mu Chenshuang, she said in a raised voice, "I'm just worried that if this thief happens to be hiding in your Tingzhu Courtyard, and you, Shuang'er, are subsequently harmed, I won't be able to explain it to the Marquis. So, just in case, a thorough search is necessary. I'm doing this for your sake, Shuang'er."
Mu Chenshuang glanced at her sideways and said, "I don't want to repeat what you just said."
"Shuang'er, what is the meaning of your obstruction?!"
His tone, though seemingly gentle, was actually aggressive.
Mu Chenshuang stared at Lu Wei with sharp eyes, her tone ruthless, "If you dare to forcibly search me, I can make sure you don't leave this house today."
Upon hearing this, Lu Wei felt a surge of fear, and she dared not doubt the truthfulness of Mu Chenshuang's words.
Just as she was still feeling lingering fear.
Feng Anxue suddenly said, "Princess Weiyang, what's wrong with having someone search you? Firstly, it can prove your innocence, and secondly, it can eliminate any potential threats to you."
Mu Chenshuang said indifferently, "An innocent person doesn't need to prove anything. My safety is none of anyone else's business."
Mu Chenshuang's cold and arrogant attitude made Feng Anxue's face darken. She was the most noble princess of Tianzhao Kingdom. From childhood to adulthood, no one had ever dared to speak to her with such indifference, not even her father.
She really disliked such an arrogant and disrespectful person.
Just as she was about to say something.
A deep, magnetic, and powerful voice rang out, "An Xue, this is none of your business."
Feng Anxue's expression froze. She looked up at Fu Junheng, and just by looking at his cold expression, she could imagine that he was staring at her with a pair of icy eyes.
Her throat felt frozen, and she couldn't utter a single word.
When she came to her senses, she lowered her eyes and said nothing more, but her heart was in turmoil, burning with pain, and she could not calm down for a long time. When she raised her eyes, her gaze fell on Mu Chenshuang, revealing a trace of jealousy.
Mu Chenshuang ignored Feng Anxue, stared at Lu Wei, and said coldly, "I can let you search. If you find anything, I have nothing to say and you can do whatever you want with me. But if you don't find anything, you can cut off your own hands."
The sharp, sinister tone carried no hint of a joke.
Lu Weixin trembled for a moment, but quickly calmed down. Since they dared to let her search, she was sure she could find what she wanted from here.
"If that's the case..."
Lu Wei was feeling smug, but before she could finish speaking, Mu Chenshuang suddenly called out, "Qi Ye, search him."
Lu Wei's expression froze; she hadn't even had time to react to Mu Chenshuang's words.
Immediately afterwards.
Seven Nights moved among the guards like a ghost.
Upon seeing this, Lu Wei felt a pang of panic.
"Shuang'er, what are you doing?"
"Of course, it's to prevent someone from bringing in something they shouldn't be carrying for a search and then framing me."
Before Lu Wei could even feel secretly pleased, she was stabbed in the back.
As expected.
Qi Ye found a medicine bottle on one of the guards.
Qi Ye walked up to Mu Chen Shuang and handed her the medicine bottle, saying, "Miss, please take a look."
Mu Chenshuang reached out and took the bottle. Once she opened it, she knew exactly what was inside.
Lu Wei frowned and stared at Mu Chenshuang, clenching her fists so tightly that her nails dug deep into her palms.
"This thing doesn't look like anything good."
Mu Chenshuang's gentle tone instilled a strange sense of fear.
Mu Chenshuang glanced coldly at Lu Wei, then strode over to the guard.
The guard looked flustered, lowered his head, and knelt on one knee.
"What is this?" Mu Chenshuang questioned.
The guard was frozen in place, unable to utter a single word.
Mu Chenshuang continued, "You'd better think it through. Whether you confess or not, the final outcome will be the same. But I can guarantee that if you confess, you will not be threatened in any way."
