Fu Junheng said in a cold, deep voice, "I don't need you to remind me. I know what to do."
Feng Ji chuckled lightly, "Since that's the case, then I don't need to worry about it."
Mu Chenshuang took a short nap inside the carriage.
"Miss, we've arrived."
When Qi Ye's voice came, Mu Chen Shuang slowly opened her eyes, her eyes still unable to hide her exhaustion.
She got up and got off the carriage.
However, as soon as they entered the courtyard, they heard a scream.
A childish, angry voice cried out, "Stop!"
A moment.
Mu Chenshuang tensed up completely.
Immediately afterwards, Qi Ye's figure vanished in a flash.
Mu Chenshuang walked quickly towards the main courtyard.
When she arrived at the courtyard, Qi Ye had already knocked the guards of the Marquis's residence to the ground.
Linglong wasn't the only one who got hit. After Chengli was relieved, he ignored the pain in his body, stood up, and ran shakily to Linglong's side to check on her.
Linglong was lying on the bench. Qiye helped her up, but Linglong could no longer stand and could only lean on Qiye.
Mu Chenshuang frowned, her eyes filled with anger, and looked up to meet Lu Wei standing on the steps.
Lu Wei stood tall and straight, looking at Mu Chenshuang with a defiant gaze.
Mu Chenshuang stepped forward, each step carrying an imposing aura, her cold and sharp eyes radiating a terrifying ferocity.
When Linglong saw Mu Chenshuang, she called out weakly, "Miss." Her face was pale and her lips were bloodless.
Mu Chenshuang looked at Linglong, reached out and grasped her wrist, trying to transfer some spiritual energy to temporarily stop her pain.
He then withdrew his hand and looked at Chengli. Apart from his furrowed brows indicating that he was in pain, he showed no other abnormalities; he was a real man.
"Miss, I'm sorry, I failed to protect Sister Linglong."
Mu Chenshuang reached out and stroked his head, comforting him, "It's okay, you've already done a great job."
Seeing the young lady return, Chengli felt completely at ease.
Mu Chenshuang looked at Lu Wei with a piercing gaze, "If I don't get a reasonable explanation today, then I will make you pay back double for the harm that Linglong and Chengli suffered."
The last sentence was ruthless and resolute, without the slightest hint of a joke. It turned out that they had been silent for several days because they were venting their anger on her maid and a child.
Mu Yazhi scoffed disdainfully, "Sister, it was your maid who was shameless and lusted after Prince Wei's good looks. She even seduced him into bed. After being discovered, she injured Prince Wei to defend herself. She dared to do such a despicable thing in the Marquis's mansion and disgrace the name of the Marquis's mansion. She must be punished."
Mu Yazhi rebuked him vehemently.
"And this beggar you brought back, he has no manners and dared to lay a hand on me. Since you don't know how to teach him, I'll teach him what respect and hierarchy are."
Linglong hurriedly said, "I didn't, I didn't seduce him at all, Miss... I don't know what happened. I took a nap this afternoon, and when I woke up I saw Prince Wei lying on my bed."
Mu Chenshuang naturally believed Linglong's words.
It is obvious that Lu Wei and Mu Yazhi framed Linglong.
Mu Chenshuang stared at the two of them and sneered, "It really is difficult for you two to find Prince Wei to frame my maid."
Lu Wei said calmly, "I know you two are very close, but the facts are clear. Linglong injured Prince Wei, and I'm already being lenient by not reporting it to the authorities. This is just a family punishment. If you want to make a big fuss, I'm afraid the Prince Wei's mansion will turn against you, Shuang'er."
So that was their purpose: to use Wei Xu to incite hostility towards her from the Wei Prince's Mansion.
"If that's the case, then I must find out the truth of the matter. I think the Prince of Wei's mansion also wants to know whether their son has been used by someone with ulterior motives and made a target."
Lu Wei took a deep breath and raised an eyebrow. "If that's the case, then I have nothing to say."
I just finished speaking.
A guard rushed in and announced, "Madam, Prince Wei and Princess Cheng have arrived."
A sinister glint flashed in Lu Wei's eyes. He subtly composed himself and strode towards the door.
Mu Yazhi followed closely behind.
Until the two disappeared into the main courtyard.
Linglong felt very guilty. "I'm sorry, Miss. It's all my fault. I wasn't on guard. I really didn't know when Prince Wei got into my bed. I'm usually very vigilant when I take a nap, but I didn't notice anything today."
Mu Chenshuang calmly said, "You were drugged, so naturally you wouldn't have noticed. The Marquis's mansion is still under her control, and it would be easy for her to frame you."
Lu Wei's current act of going to greet Prince Wei and Princess Cheng is nothing more than an attempt to escalate the situation and send Linglong to prison.
Unable to control her, the mother and daughter took their anger out on those around her.
"Then, Miss... what should we do now?"
Mu Chenshuang didn't say much, her eyes showing no worry or panic, and calmly said, "Let's go back and apply the medicine first."
Back in the courtyard.
Mu Chenshuang applied medicine to Linglong, while Qiye and Chengli applied medicine next door.
The wound medicine, imbued with Sui Sui's spiritual power, should heal by tomorrow morning.
After Chengli finished applying the medicine, he came to Linglong's room.
