"I wish to keep you company, my lord, and listen to you speak, just like before." Lu Wei deliberately used this sentence to hint at Marquis Mu, as if she especially hoped to remind him of the days when the two of them were inseparable and deeply in love.
Lu Wei stepped forward, but unexpectedly, Lord Mu, with a stern face, avoided her.
Lu Wei's outstretched hand froze awkwardly in mid-air. She stared blankly at Lord Mu and found that his gaze towards her today was even colder than before, as if it could be tempered into ice.
She never expected that, despite feeling sorry for her when she shed tears before, and seeing that their relationship might be repaired, Lord Mu's attitude towards her suddenly took a sharp turn for the worse.
Could it be that something really happened in the imperial court today?
Lu Wei recalled that when Mu Chenshuang left, her expression was one of wariness and hostility.
Thinking of this, Lu Wei gasped and felt a pang of worry.
"..." She looked up at Lord Mu, wanting to say something, but unable to utter a word.
As she had suspected, the already difficult and dangerous situation of Lord Mu was greatly angered and furious when he saw Lu Wei. He immediately realized that she was a spy planted in the manor by the Chengtianjian Bureau and he could not do anything directly to her.
Originally, Lu Wei had hoped to use these few days to mend her relationship with Lord Mu, but now it seems that it will be difficult.
"If Your Excellency is unwilling to discuss this with me, then I shall take my leave." The sensible Lu Wei decided to back down for now, to understand the current situation before making any further plans.
"This soup will be good for your health, Your Highness. Please remember to drink it." Lu Wei left the nourishing soup she had made behind and turned to walk out the door.
Just as she was about to step out of the room, she hesitated and turned her head back. She saw that Lord Mu had turned his face away, his brows furrowed as he looked to the side. He looked very indifferent and aloof, and he did not look at her or say a word from beginning to end.
Lu Wei felt a slight jolt in her heart, a sense of oppression washing over her. She could only turn around, lean against the door, and walk out.
On Chang'an Avenue.
On the way to the clinic, Mu Chenshuang, who was sitting in the carriage, heard a commotion in the street, so she lifted the curtain and looked out in confusion.
The figure of a somewhat familiar woman seemed to be pulling at the person opposite her.
Because the woman had her back to Mu Chenshuang, Mu Chenshuang didn't see it at first. It wasn't until the woman turned to the side that she could see clearly that the child being pulled in the middle was actually Zhu Yue's daughter, whom she had treated.
"Stop the carriage." Mu Chenshuang's eyes narrowed, flashing with cold light, and she leaped out of the stopped carriage.
The man struggling with Zhu Yue was dressed as a guard and was clearly quite skilled. It was precisely because he looked like a guard from a noble family that many people were watching the commotion, but no one came forward to help.
Mu Chenshuang's powerful palm strike went straight for his face. As soon as the man felt it, he immediately let go of the child's hand and quickly turned around to the side.
"Mother... Waaah." The child, who was quickly held and protected in Zhu Yue's arms, burst into tears from fright and fear.
Zhu Yue looked heartbroken, her eyes brimming with tears, and glared angrily at the man who was being blocked by Mu Chenshuang.
"Are you alright?" Mu Chenshuang asked, glancing sideways. Fortunately, the mother and daughter seemed to have only been frightened and were not actually injured.
"No...it's nothing." Zhu Yue, still shaken, looked at Mu Chenshuang gratefully.
