Therefore, Lord Mu remained completely indifferent and unmoved by Lu Wei's tearful eyes.
Even so, Lord Mu coldly asked with a mocking tone, "Well, after all these years by my side, have you gotten what you wanted?"
These words, though seemingly casual, were extremely damaging, causing Lu Wei to shiver involuntarily.
As expected, Lord Mu already knew his identity.
Before she knew it, Lu Wei's face turned pale. Her lips trembled slightly, and after a long while, she finally made a bold decision.
She decided to reveal her true identity and all the painstaking efforts she had made over the years.
Lu Wei, who is usually ruthless, cunning and treacherous, only retains a trace of softness, expectation and fantasy in her heart when it comes to her feelings for Lord Lu.
She lowered her eyes with sadness and pain, silently clenching her hands at her sides. When she looked up, her eyes were filled with helplessness and regret, as well as a desire to beg for Lord Mu's forgiveness.
"My lord, it seems you have indeed become aware of my true identity. In that case, I am not afraid to reveal my true identity. I only hope that you will listen to how I have lived these past years."
"If it weren't for my painstaking efforts and support, do you think the Jingbian Marquis's Mansion would have the status and peace it enjoys today, my lord!" Lu Wei's eyes welled up with tears, and she couldn't help but raise her voice a few decibels as she spoke.
After Lu Wei's somewhat out-of-control shout, Lord Mu remained unmoved, his face indifferent, and turned away.
The flame on the candlestick flickered, instantly plunging the room into a depressing atmosphere.
Lu Wei remained silent for a moment, gazing at Lord Mu's indifferent back. She felt her heart sinking little by little. She couldn't believe that Lord Mu could be so heartless after hearing her words.
“Back then…” Lu Wei began, her voice trembling slightly. She spoke slowly, clearly lost in a deep recollection of the past. “My acquaintance with the Marquis was indeed intentional on my part.”
"It was not my choice, but I was unexpected to meet you, my lord, and this is the only thing I truly mean." Lu Wei raised her hand to cover her face. "If it wasn't my choice, how could I have willingly given birth to three children for you, my lord?"
Upon hearing this, Lord Mu paused slightly, and a hint of surprise and hesitation appeared in his eyes.
But soon, Lord Mu's expression turned cold again, and he remained with his back to Lu Wei, showing no intention of turning around.
Lu Weiwei sighed slightly and could only continue, "Ever since I gave my heart to the Marquis, I have been helping the Marquis's mansion to mediate with the Imperial Observatory."
"If they hadn't believed me back then, the Marquis would have been implicated when the Prince of Libei's family got into trouble." Lu Wei clutched her chest, almost crying out in anguish, "It was I who saved the Marquis and the Marquis's mansion from disaster!"
"Later, the Imperial Observatory suspected my loyalty and planted other spies in the mansion. I was coerced, but I had no choice but to play both sides. My lord, you have been on the border for so many years, have you ever really thought about how much pressure I have to endure!"
Lu Wei felt wronged, pained, and depressed, and finally couldn't hold back anymore. She threw herself on the table and cried.
Lord Mu's indifferent back softened slightly. He hesitated for a long time, and even recalled the happy memories he had with Lu Wei. He remained stunned for a long time, but in the end, he only sighed and did not turn around.
