Zhu Yue replied, "Only Xiao Jing and I live here."
Mu Chenshuang listened, but it was inconvenient for her to ask any further questions.
We arrived at the courtyard.
At this moment, a servant ran over and reported, "Madam, the Third Young Master has arrived."
The words were spoken.
Zhu Yue frowned, her face instantly darkening, and asked, "Where is he now?"
"In the West Garden."
"You go and watch over him, I'll be there in a bit."
"yes."
The servant turned sideways and quickly left.
Zhu Yue instructed the other servants standing nearby, "Go and get some wound medicine."
"yes.
Mu Chenshuang looked at Zhu Yue and said, "A relative has arrived."
Zhu Yue nodded and said, "My younger brother. I didn't know he would come today, but it's alright."
The servants quickly brought the medicine. She subconsciously glanced at Fu Junheng beside her. Before Fu Junheng could speak, Mu Chenshuang said directly, "I'll trouble Madam Zhu to apply the medicine for me."
Zhu Yue withdrew her gaze, smiled lightly, and said, "Alright then."
The two went into the inner room, where Fu Junheng waited outside.
inside the house.
Zhu Yue bandaged Mu Chenshuang's wound.
"There is a natural flowing hot spring in this backyard, which is very effective in dispelling cold and dampness. Miss Chen got caught in the rain, so she can go for a soak."
Mu Chenshuang did not refuse; she was indeed feeling uncomfortable after being soaked in the rain. "Then I'll have to trouble you, Madam Zhu."
The two left the inner room.
Zhu Yue explained the situation to Fu Junheng, "Young master, please feel free to wander around. I'll take Miss Chen there first."
Fu Junheng gave a faint "hmm".
As Mu Chenshuang passed Fu Junheng, she gave him a stern look, a clear warning in her eyes, forbidding him from following her.
She knew perfectly well what kind of scoundrel and thuggish this man was.
How could Fu Junheng not see the warning in her eyes?
Afterwards, Mu Chenshuang followed Zhu Yue to the hot spring in the backyard. The natural hot spring was located below the pavilion. Zhu Yue had someone prepare a change of clothes. "These are brocade skirts that were just sent back yesterday. I haven't worn them yet. If Miss Chen doesn't mind, I'll give them to you as a token of my gratitude."
"Thank you, Madam Zhu, but I wouldn't mind at all."
Zhu Yue smiled and said, "Then I won't disturb Miss Chen any longer."
Zhu Yue and her servant then turned and left.
Mu Chenshuang walked to the hot spring pool, untied the belts on her body, and took off her clothes one by one. Her white silk undergarment slid slowly down her fair and proud body to the floor like flowing water.
The candlelight inside the pavilion illuminated the woman's body, giving her a faint rosy glow that was alluring and seductive. She lifted her jade-like feet and slowly walked into the hot spring pool. As she immersed herself in the water, Mu Chenshuang immediately felt much more comfortable.
Mu Chenshuang took a short nap in the bath. Then her stomach rumbled. She hadn't eaten much today and had exhausted herself. She also had a baby in her belly. She felt annoyed and wondered what she had been so upset about this morning. She had run out of the city and was now starving.
Just as she was about to get up.
Suddenly noticing something, his eyes sharpened, and he coldly exclaimed, "Who?!"
As they were talking.
With a slap, water splashed up, and the water, like ice blades, attacked the direction from which the sound came with great force.
With a loud crash, the wooden door collapsed, accompanied by a painful scream.
With a swift movement, Mu Chenshuang's clothes flew from the rack into her hands. She leaped ashore, splashing water everywhere. In an instant, she had wrapped a thin undergarment around her body and looked sharply at the man lying on the door panel, groaning in pain.
At this moment.
"Shuang'er!"
A gust of wind swept by.
The next moment.
Mu Chenshuang felt a familiar, warm breath coming from her shoulders.
Fu Junheng took off his outer robe and put it on Mu Chenshuang, then put one arm around her waist, pulling her closer to him, as if afraid that others would see her in the slightest.
What are you doing here?
Mu Chenshuang looked at him and asked, knowing that this man would definitely not be able to sit still.
Fu Junheng looked down at her. "I noticed you haven't come out yet. You probably haven't eaten much today. I was worried that soaking in the water for too long would deplete your energy and make you feel unwell."
As Mu Chenshuang listened to his affectionate yet worried words, her heart trembled inexplicably, as if a clear spring were rippling through her heart.
But she quickly composed herself and looked at the man who was struggling to get up. The man in front of her was young and handsome, but he had a lecherous look about him.
Suddenly.
Mu Chenshuang felt the hand on her waist loosen. She looked up and saw Fu Junheng walking towards the man. The space, which was supposed to be warm, now felt icy cold.
At this moment, not a trace of the tenderness he had shown just moments before remained.
The man stood up shakily, but upon seeing the man before him, his already excruciating pain gave way to the force of the imposing aura, and he collapsed to the ground, his eyes filled with terror, his voice trembling, "W-what...what do you want to do?"
Fu Junheng raised his hand, gathering power in his palm, and the man was pulled up by a force, his neck being gripped tightly.
"I'll only ask you once, where did you look?!"
The man struggled painfully, fear showing in his eyes, and said with difficulty, "I...I didn't see anything, young...young hero, spare my life."
"Is that so!"
A chilling, bone-deep voice.
After saying that.
The man loosened his grip and slightly lifted his fingers.
Mu Chenshuang suddenly realized what he was about to do and hurriedly stopped him, saying, "Stop."
As she spoke, she pushed the man away with a palm strike from a distance, but the force sent the man flying, crashing heavily to the ground.
The man rolled on the ground in pain, howling in agony.
