After Mu Chenshuang left.
Jue Ming returned to Yao Guang Residence to report, "Your Highness, we couldn't find Qi Ye. He was seriously injured and must have been rescued."
Fu Junheng's grip on the chess piece tightened, and the black piece instantly turned to ash, sliding down his fingertips. His deep golden eyes flashed with a fierce light. "Rescued by someone?"
Jue Ming sensed the chill and tensed up, hurriedly saying, "It was my dereliction of duty. I will definitely find the man and take his head."
Fu Junheng tapped his finger lightly and said, "Those who dared to save him, deal with them all. Next time you report, I hope to hear good news."
His words, though calm and even, carried an aura colder than ice.
"Yes, I will complete the mission."
Mu Chenshuang returned to the Marquis's residence.
Just then, she ran into Mu Yazhi. As soon as Mu Yazhi saw Mu Chenshuang, she felt angry. She walked up to her and said sarcastically, "You went out sneakily and are only coming back now."
Mu Chenshuang paused, her oppressive aura instantly pressing down on Mu Yazhi, causing her nerves to tense up. She widened her eyes, staring at Mu Chenshuang in horror.
"Mu Yazhi, you'd better mind your own business. If you dare to say another word, don't blame me for sewing your mouth shut next time."
His sharp eyes and ruthless tone left no room for joking.
Mu Yazhi subconsciously pressed her lips together, and only breathed a sigh of relief after Mu Chenshuang had walked far away. She stood there, glaring angrily in the direction Mu Chenshuang had left.
"Mu Chenshuang, don't be so smug."
She absolutely will not let this go.
Mu Chenshuang returned to the courtyard.
Linglong had already returned. Seeing her mistress come back, she hurried forward and said, "Miss, did you stay at Crown Prince Junheng's place last night?"
Mu Chenshuang hummed in agreement, "Help me change my clothes first!"
These words sparked a flurry of thoughts in Linglong's mind: what was Miss doing changing clothes at this time?
"Miss, were you alone with Crown Prince Junheng last night?"
Linglong followed, looking on with curiosity and anticipation.
Mu Chenshuang stopped in her tracks, glanced at her sideways, and tapped her head with her hand: "You little brat, what are you thinking?"
The image of him forcibly kissing her last night, and how he dressed so seductively in front of her, flashed through her mind, and her heart suddenly felt inexplicably flustered.
If someone saw that scene, they would really think they were up to no good, and they wouldn't be able to explain themselves clearly.
Linglong covered her head and muttered something.
"Why is Miss changing her clothes now?"
Mu Chenshuang walked into the house, saying, "I'm going to a banquet at Prince Cheng's residence."
Linglong responded with an "oh".
"Have you checked on that person's condition?"
Linglong straightened Mu Chenshuang's clothes, saying disdainfully, "He can eat and drink a lot, he really thinks he's the boss. He even asked me to find him good wine. He's so badly injured and he still has no shame. Once he can run and jump again, won't he really think he's the supreme ruler? Miss, I don't think he's reliable at all."
Mu Chenshuang reassured him, "Don't worry, he won't. If he needs it, just give it to him. Anyway, keep good records."
His quick recovery was entirely due to his strong physical condition.
"What if he reneges on his debt?"
Linglong was still worried; that man didn't seem reliable.
Mu Chenshuang straightened her sleeves. "He can't renege on his debt."
After tidying up.
Mu Chenshuang prepared to go to Prince Cheng's residence, leaving Linglong at home to study medical books.
She brought along a maid arranged by Lu Wei.
