There is indeed no other way now. Putting Shen Nanzhi in power is only the first step. They will definitely take further actions in the future. Only by going along with their wishes can we have a chance to find out who is behind the scheme.
"You need to be more careful from now on; they've clearly got their eyes on you," Mu Chenshuang advised.
Shen Nanzhi looked calmly at Mu Chenshuang, "I know."
Mu Chenshuang hummed in agreement.
After he finished speaking, the atmosphere immediately fell silent.
For a moment, Mu Chenshuang felt inexplicably awkward.
"last night…"
"Shuang'er..."
The two spoke almost simultaneously.
Mu Chenshuang was taken aback. "You go first!"
She wanted to mention the mirror gauze, but she was worried he would blame Chen Ping.
Shen Nanzhi looked at Mu Chenshuang with a knowing gaze and then said, "If anything happens in the future, can I still come to the Marquis's residence?"
Mu Chenshuang understood perfectly what he meant. Some things were already tacitly understood, so there was no need for her to explain them clearly. "Of course, the gates of the Marquis's mansion are always open."
Shen Nanzhi hummed in response, his expression calm and devoid of any emotional fluctuation. "I heard that the Marquis is about to set off back to the capital?"
"Yes, I received a letter from home yesterday. My father should be returning to the capital soon."
"indeed."
As Shen Nanzhi was speaking, he seemed to see something and his gaze fell into the distance.
Mu Chenshuang sensed something was wrong, her heart tightened for no reason, and she turned around. Sure enough, she saw a man walking towards her with heavy steps, wearing golden boots, a black robe embroidered with gold, silver hair and golden eyes, and a devilishly handsome appearance. His tall and straight figure exuded a kingly aura that was not angry but majestic.
Mu Chenshuang's pupils contracted slightly as she looked at him. This man really knew how to pick his time; he came at this hour.
The moment she turned around, Shen Nanzhi caught sight of the silk ribbon tied in her hair. Instantly, his drooping hand tightened, and a certain emotion was being suppressed deep in his eyes.
Fu Junheng walked to Mu Chenshuang's side. His golden eyes, filled with frost and indifference, swept over Shen Nanzhi, but when they landed on Mu Chenshuang, his gaze became exceptionally gentle.
The man bent down and wrapped his large hand around the woman's waist. Mu Chenshuang looked up at him, and before she could speak, his kiss landed on her cheek.
Intimate and tender, yet blatantly provocative.
Mu Chenshuang frowned, staring at him, "You..."
Fu Junheng, without any hesitation, smiled and said, "I had something to do last night, so I couldn't come and keep you company. Did you receive the flowers today?"
These words were clearly meant for Shen Nanzhi's ears.
Shen Nanzhi's face grew increasingly gloomy. He suddenly stood up, exuding a low and gloomy aura, and looked at Mu Chenshuang. "Shuang'er, I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."
Mu Chenshuang looked up at Shen Nanzhi, unsure of what to say, and could only hum in response, "Be careful on the road."
As Shen Nanzhi took a step forward, the opposing powerful auras collided and rubbed against each other in an instant, creating an invisible airflow that seemed capable of tearing space apart.
As Shen Nanzhi left, the air currents in the space gradually calmed down.
Mu Chenshuang's face darkened as she questioned, "Did you have to go this far?"
Fu Junheng was already unhappy because Mu Chenshuang had just told him to be careful on the road and said that the gates of the Marquis's mansion were open to him. Now that she was blaming him.
"I was just doing what we're supposed to do between each other, is that all? Is that going too far?" Fu Junheng retorted irritably.
Mu Chenshuang knew exactly what he was thinking. There was no point in questioning him now. She took a deep breath, lowered her eyes, and said, "Never mind, why did you come at this time?"
Mu Chenshuang asked, but heard no answer. She looked up in confusion and saw the man with a deep look in his eyes, as if he had suffered a great injustice.
