Mu Chenshuang looked at Lu Wei with a cold gaze, and a mysterious smile suddenly appeared on her lips. Although she was smiling, her eyes were cold and devoid of any warmth.
"Since my aunt has invited me, how can I refuse? I'll pack my things and be there shortly."
Since Lu Wei wanted to frame her, how could she refuse her good intentions?
Lu smiled and said, "Alright, we'll wait for you in the plum garden. Don't keep the princess waiting too long, or people will say that our Marquis's mansion is ill-mannered."
After Lu Wei finished speaking, she left with Mu Yazhi.
Just as Lu Wei and Mu Yazhi arrived at the outer courtyard.
The maidservant who was guarding the outer courtyard came over and respectfully greeted, "Madam."
Lu Wei took out a package from her sleeve and silently handed it to the maid, coldly instructing, "Do you know what to do?"
"This servant understands."
Mu Chenshuang returned to her room.
Linglong was furious. "Miss, Madam and the others really had ill intentions. Inviting the princess here today was definitely a scheme they orchestrated."
Mu Chenshuang's expression was unusually calm, without the slightest ripple. She took off the earring pendant, put on another pair, and ordered, "Go and find that whip technique book for me."
Linglong asked in confusion, "Miss, what do you need this for?"
"For Miss Xue."
Linglong was puzzled. "Miss, do you really have to apologize? It was clearly that Miss Xue who was unreasonable. She came to the door and attacked you without saying a word."
Mu Chenshuang explained, "Although Miss Xue has quite a temper and is spoiled and willful, she is not really malicious. She must have been instigated by Mu Yazhi. You can go find her."
Linglong said "oh" and then went to the study.
Mu Chenshuang slowly stood up and suddenly said, "If you still want to stay here, then please keep an eye on everything that happens in the inner courtyard."
During her fight with Xue Jiajia, she noticed that Xue Jiajia's wrist had been attacked from a distance and lost its strength. Who else could it be but the man who had been secretly following her?
She never imagined that he could stay by her side 24 hours a day, but now she can't detect his presence at all. Even in broad daylight, he is as silent as air.
However, it was also a good thing that she had a highly skilled martial artist watching over the yard, which saved her a lot of trouble.
Mu Chenshuang didn't hear any response, but she knew he definitely heard her.
She then went to her desk, picked up a brush, and wrote a letter.
Linglong found some books.
Mu Chenshuang handed a letter to Linglong and instructed her, "Linglong, go to Yaoguang Residence for me and deliver this letter to Crown Prince Junheng."
Linglong was startled. "What if someone comes in if I don't stay here to guard the place?"
Mu Chenshuang reassured her, "It's alright, you can go!"
Although Linglong was worried, since her mistress said so, she must have her reasons, and she could only follow her mistress's instructions.
"Yes, then this servant will go now."
Mu Chenshuang went to the plum garden.
The wintersweet flowers in the plum garden are in full bloom, filling the air with fragrance, and the pavilions and towers are built with a refined and elegant style.
At this moment, melodious piano music filled the plum garden, its soothing and warm tones bringing comfort.
Because Fenglian is a music enthusiast and is very passionate about playing the guqin, Lu Wei invited Young Master Shifang to play today. Young Master Shifang is the most famous guzheng player in the capital, and it is priceless to hear his music.
Unexpectedly, Lu Wei actually came to the mansion; she really does have some ability.
Mu Chenshuang walked into the pavilion, and Fenglian, who was originally enjoying the music, immediately darkened her expression when she saw her.
"Your Highness, I was very rude just now, please forgive me," Mu Chenshuang said with a slight bow.
Feng Lian raised her eyes and glanced coldly at Mu Chen Shuang, her eyes filled with disdain. "So you do know about hierarchy."
“Your Highness is of noble status, and I, Shen Shuang, would naturally not dare to offend you. It was indeed my rudeness just now. I hope Your Highness will be magnanimous and not hold it against me.”
Feng Lian gave a cold snort, reached out and picked up a cup of hot tea, and did not respond to Mu Chenshuang again. Her attitude made people feel uneasy.
Seeing that she ignored her, Mu Chenshuang did not say anything more, but walked straight to Xue Jiajia.
When Xue Jiajia saw her approaching, she reached out and picked up a piece of dried fruit, put it in her mouth, and looked into the distance, seemingly trying her best to hide her panic and guilt.
“Miss Xue, I know you are skilled in whip techniques. Although you are powerful, your technique is not good enough. You need to practice more. This is a book on whip techniques that I have collected. I think it will be of great help to you. Consider it my apology.”
Mu Chenshuang's voice softened, her tone becoming much more amiable, and her eyes lost their previous sharpness, making it seem as if she had suddenly become a different person.
Xue Jiajia, holding the pastry she hadn't yet put in her mouth, raised her head and stared blankly at Mu Chenshuang.
She couldn't figure out what this woman was thinking at all.
She then lowered her gaze to the whip technique book that Mu Chenshuang had handed her, and at the same time felt her aura soften. A surge of pride welled up inside her, and she reached out to take it, saying in an annoyed tone, "Since you sincerely apologize, this young lady can consider forgiving you."
Mu Chenshuang suddenly smiled lightly, her smile casual, her eyes warm.
Xue Jiajia was stunned. For a moment, she was attracted by the woman's smile. She had to admit that this woman was not only skilled in martial arts, but also had a stunning beauty. Her gentle smile seemed to melt ice and snow, making people feel warm inside.
After a while.
Xue Jiajia realized what was going on and asked loudly, "What... is so funny?"
Mu Chenshuang smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just think Miss Xue's proud and aloof manner is quite cute."
Xue Jiajia was stunned by this unexpected praise, but she didn't want to deny it. She didn't resist such praise at all, and even felt a warm current in her heart, an indescribable warmth.
Although there were many people around her who flattered her, she had never felt this unusually comfortable in her heart.
Suddenly, I realized that Mu Chenshuang wasn't as arrogant as the rumors suggested.
Seeing that things were not going well, Mu Yazhi stood up and stepped forward, saying, "Jiajia, your sister knows she was wrong. Since she has sincerely apologized, you don't need to keep it to yourself."
This wasn't meant for Xue Jiajia's ears.
In short, Xue Jiajia felt wronged because of Mu Chenshuang. As a noble young lady from the Prime Minister's mansion, Xue Jiajia was cherished by Feng Lian and had never suffered any grievances. However, she had to suppress her resentment because of Mu Chenshuang's oppression.
Even though Mu Chenshuang apologized now, Feng Lian's expression did not improve.
