The girl looked embarrassed and wanted to leave as soon as possible.
Although people expressed surprise, the girl's face still felt burning hot.
Now that she was completely soaked, and only the cloak that Mu Chenshuang had given her could temporarily cover her, the girl wanted to escape even more.
Seeing more and more people walking towards her, the girl bowed to Mu Chenshuang and then spoke in a voice so soft it was almost inaudible.
"Excuse me, miss, I must go now."
"good."
With a polite smile on her face, Mu Chenshuang slowly uttered a single word.
After seeing the woman who had fallen into the water walk away, the crowd felt there was nothing more to see.
The crowd, which had been discussing the matter, suddenly changed their topic.
When Mu Chenshuang and Linglong went to look for the old man who sold candied hawthorns again, he had disappeared without a trace.
"Miss, why don't we go home? It's too dangerous here."
Linglong reminded her once again.
Mu Chenshuang nodded, her mood somewhat down as she followed Linglong back.
These are turbulent times, and Mu Chenshuang is struggling with whether or not to have someone monitor the girl who fell into the water.
If all of this is just a coincidence, then there is really no need to spend more manpower and resources on this matter.
After frowning and thinking for a while, Mu Chenshuang decided to let him handle the matter for the time being.
Thinking about it this way, Mu Chenshuang felt much less pressure.
After all, it was just a girl who fell into the water; there was no need to make such a fuss.
Nothing else happened after she returned home that night. After washing up, Mu Chenshuang fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, after the court session, the first thing Prince Mu did was to have someone summon Mu Chenshuang to his study.
Upon hearing the report, Mu Chenshuang felt a sense of foreboding, but she still pretended to be calm and walked towards the study.
Linglong followed closely behind, not daring to utter a sound.
Compared to others, Linglong knew more details about what her mistress had done.
That's why Linglong was so terrified.
"The daughter has met her father."
Upon seeing Prince Mu, Mu Chenshuang bowed respectfully.
Prince Mu stretched out his hand and waved, pointing to the chair next to him as he spoke.
"Sit down first. I called you here today because there is something I need to discuss with you regarding maintenance."
Prince Mu showed no sign of nervousness, and spoke in a very normal tone, without any hint of perfunctoriness.
Mu Chenshuang's smile finally softened, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Father, has something happened in the court?"
Mu Chenshuang got straight to the point.
Prince Mu glanced at Linglong beside Mu Chenshuang, then said, "I have some matters to discuss with the princess. You may leave now."
Linglong looked up at Mu Chenshuang.
Mu Chenshuang nodded, and Linglong then followed the two maids out.
As soon as the bystanders left, Prince Mu frowned.
"Today in the court, the Second Prince was very imposing, and even some officials dared not speak out easily. Judging from this, they seem to be confident of winning the current situation."
Mu Chenshuang had already anticipated the situation that Prince Mu described.
This is why Mu Chenshuang reminded Prince Mu in advance.
Unfortunately, Prince Mu still harbored a sliver of hope.
I don't think things can be as bad as I imagine.
