Lord Mu's expression changed drastically. After a long silence, he said in a deep voice, "This matter should not be publicized for the time being."
“My daughter knows. Starting tomorrow, I will have Linglong send medicine and food over every day.”
Lord Mu hummed in agreement.
"Then I'll take my leave."
Go!
Mu Chenshuang gave a slight curtsy, turned and left the study. As she left the courtyard, she encountered Lu Wei walking towards her, followed by a maid carrying a tray.
Mu Chenshuang stopped and looked at the person walking in this direction.
Lu Wei stopped in front of her, her expression gentle, and asked, "Shuang'er, have you finished talking with your father?"
Seeing Lu Wei's pretentious act, Mu Chenshuang truly admired her. These days, because of Lord Mu's return to the manor, she seemed to have become much quieter on the surface.
Mu Chenshuang looked at her without changing her expression, then glanced at the porcelain bowl the maid was holding and asked, "What is this?"
Lu Wei explained, "The Marquis has been very busy lately and his mental state is not very good. He had the imperial physician examine him yesterday and was prescribed medicine. Drinking it after meals every day can relieve fatigue."
As she spoke, her expression changed slightly, and she said, "If you're worried, Shuang'er, why don't you check if there's anything wrong with this medicine?"
Mu Chenshuang glanced at Lu Wei, walked straight to the maid, picked up the porcelain bowl, and took a small sip.
There's nothing wrong with the medicine.
She put down the bowl.
Lu Wei's lips curled into a smile: "It's really unexpected that Shuang'er has such remarkable medical skills. No wonder, I should have thought of it sooner."
She had previously tried to poison Mu Chenshuang, but Mu Chenshuang always managed to escape. However, she never thought of this at the time, since she had never heard that Mu Chenshuang was skilled in medicine.
Mu Chenshuang looked at her coldly, her eyes like blades, "There are many things you don't know. Let's see how much Aunt Lu can understand?"
Lu Wei still had a smile on her lips, but there was an unconcealable coldness between her brows and eyes.
"Then I'll get to know you slowly, Auntie. I won't bother you any longer, Shuang'er. If we keep talking, the medicine will get cold."
Lu Wei withdrew her gaze and walked straight ahead.
Mu Chenshuang stood still, turning slightly to look at Lu Wei's departing figure, a hint of murderous intent surfacing in her eyes.
Back inside the courtyard.
Qi Ye was waiting for her outside the door. "What's wrong?"
Qi Ye replied, "General Shen has arrived and is in the study."
Mu Chenshuang was astonished. What was Shen Nanzhi doing here at this time? She had not received any notification, which could only mean that Shen Nanzhi had come secretly.
Let's go!
When Mu Chenshuang arrived at the study, she saw Shen Nanzhi sitting in a chair, flipping through a book in his hand. He was wearing a dark blue robe, his long hair was tied up high, and in the dim light, his handsome face appeared even more refined and profound. He looked like a noble young gentleman.
Come to think of it, it had indeed been a long time since she had seen him.
When Shen Nanzhi saw her, he put down the book in his hand, a smile playing on his lips, and tenderness filling his eyes, "Shuang'er!"
Mu Chenshuang stepped forward and asked, "Why did you come at this time? Is there something special?"
Qi Ye followed him inside, closing the door behind him.
"There is indeed something very important."
The two talked, and since they were the most trusted friends, and now that he knew she was safe and sound, Shen Nanzhi did not ask her about what happened in the palace.
Mu Chenshuang sat down and looked at him.
Shen Nanzhi took out the file from his hand and handed it to Mu Chenshuang. "This is the case you asked Lord Fan to investigate about your mother's case from back then. I also have something to discuss with you today, so I brought it to you as well."
The fact that Fan Qin was able to tell Shen Nanzhi about her situation only shows that they trusted each other and were not people who would say too much.
Mu Chenshuang understood, took the file, and opened it.
