Linglong glared at him angrily, "I can't be bothered to talk to you."
Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Mu Chenshuang spoke up: "Alright, Qiye, as a man, you need to learn to be magnanimous, otherwise you might really be alone for the rest of your life."
“Exactly!” Linglong proudly raised her head and echoed.
Qi Ye took a bite of his apple without a care in the world and said nonchalantly, "It's so much more enjoyable to be carefree and alone. Isn't it good to be single for life? I've never thought about getting married."
Upon hearing this, Linglong's face darkened slightly. Although she quickly concealed her emotions, Mu Chenshuang still noticed them.
However, it would be extremely difficult for Qi Ye to understand the feelings between men and women, especially since his identity is currently unknown. She dares not easily take the risk of matchmaking Linglong and him, and can only take it one step at a time.
These past two days.
Mu Chenshuang lived a leisurely life. With nothing much to do, she mostly stayed in the manor, writing medical books and practicing martial arts. Shen Nan would often come to bring her some snacks and teach Cheng Li martial arts. Everything seemed so peaceful and serene.
When she's busy, she feels exceptionally calm and peaceful. But when she's quiet and idle, Fu Junheng's image keeps popping into her mind, and her heart starts to race.
He never appeared again, and the people who only appeared at night also seemed to have vanished into thin air.
Thinking about this made her even more upset, and she even felt a sense of anger that she had nowhere to vent.
Three days later.
Fu Junheng came to our door.
"Miss, Crown Prince Junheng has arrived."
Linglong hurriedly came to report. In the past, she thought that Crown Prince Junheng and her young lady were a good match, but now that General Shen has returned, she thought that her young lady and General Shen are the most suitable to be together. Crown Prince Junheng will definitely return to Xiyue Kingdom in the future.
These past two days, the young lady has been looking irritable from time to time. She doesn't know if it's related to Crown Prince Junheng, but she always feels that there's something fishy going on between the young lady and Crown Prince Junheng.
But now she's more worried that if General Shen were to come and run into them at this moment, it would really be troublesome.
Mu Chenshuang was resting on the chaise lounge with a book in her hand when she heard Linglong's words, and her fingers tightened suddenly as she held the book.
Her face darkened, and after a moment's pause, she said, "Tell him to go back; he doesn't want to see me."
Linglong noticed that her mistress's expression was off, but didn't ask any further questions. "Yes."
After Linglong left.
Mu Chenshuang stared at the book in her hand, but she couldn't concentrate on a single word. Frustrated, she put her hand down, sat up straight, took a deep breath, and tried to calm herself down.
Linglong arrived at the gate, walked up to Fu Junheng, curtsied, and said, "Your Highness, my young lady said that you should go back. She... does not want to see you."
Linglong was only responsible for relaying the message, but the chilling atmosphere around her frightened her when she said those words.
Fu Junheng's face instantly darkened. Although this was the expected result, her directness and lack of excuses were truly ruthless.
"Tell your young lady that I have already identified the mastermind behind that night."
The next day, he already knew who it was.
He was just giving her time to calm down, while he needed to be more composed.
However, Feng Ji's words made him even more unable to calm down: "She doesn't reject your touch, at least her physical senses don't resist you. This is probably the initial sign of having feelings for you. As for her resistant behavior and cold treatment of you, that's because she is a rational person."
He could also clearly feel the speed of her heartbeat every time he got close to her. When had he ever been moved by a woman's unsteady heartbeat?
Upon learning that Shen Nanzhi had been coming over early in the morning and not leaving until evening these past few days, how could he possibly sit still?
He wanted to see what Shen Nanzhi was doing all day long, and whether she could really stay with him with a clear conscience.
Linglong was puzzled by Fu Junheng's words. Had something happened to her young lady again? But she didn't dare to ask any more questions and quickly went back to report.
Linglong returned quickly and replied hesitantly, "Your Highness, my young lady said she doesn't want to know and asked you to leave."
The moment the words were spoken.
Linglong felt a gust of cold wind, her whole body stiffened, and she lowered her eyes, not daring to look at him.
At this moment.
The sound of horses' hooves approached.
Linglong looked up and saw who it was. Her heart sank. The thing she feared most had happened.
