Even though Lord Mu was well aware of the dangers he would face after making this decision, he still made up his mind in the end and did not change it.
"Father?" Mu Chenshuang's voice revealed immense surprise and relief. She breathed a sigh of relief, her happy eyes shining as brightly as the stars in the sky.
"That's wonderful, Father has finally come to his senses." Mu Chenshuang exclaimed, but did not offer any further comment.
Lord Mu's smile was somewhat bitter. He could only remain noncommittal to Mu Chenshuang's words and sighed silently.
The following day, at the Prince Xiaoyao's Mansion.
Mu Chenshuang had always harbored doubts about Mu Chunxi's attitude towards her. Therefore, she came today specifically to hear how much Feng Ji knew about this matter and what his opinion was.
The servants of the Prince's mansion respectfully led Mu Chenshuang into the flower hall. After instructing a maid to serve tea, they looked up at Mu Chenshuang and said, "The Prince went out more than an hour ago and should be back soon. Princess, please sit here for a while and wait."
Mu Chenshuang nodded. She had no other plans for the day and could wait here in peace.
After the servants and maids who came to serve tea and snacks left, Mu Chenshuang sat alone in the large and magnificent flower hall of the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion.
Her thoughts drifted away, and she unconsciously recalled some scenes from when she first met Fu Junheng. At that time, he was unapproachable, but he was always inseparable from Feng Ji. No wonder there were some bad rumors about the two of them at the time.
Thinking of this, Mu Chenshuang couldn't help but chuckle.
Slowly suppressing her smile, she unconsciously placed her hand on her abdomen again. Through her palm, she could clearly feel that the fetus had grown considerably and its development had become completely stable.
If she weren't naturally slender with a slim waist and delicate shoulders, she would probably have been easily recognizable once she changed into light clothing.
Mu Chenshuang unconsciously connected the child with Fu Junheng again, and her suspicion that the child might be Fu Junheng never completely disappeared.
What made her most suspicious was that, since Fu Junheng left, the masked man who claimed to be the biological father of the child in her womb had never appeared again.
In Mu Chenshuang's mind, this was completely unreasonable, because she had fought with that man and could sense that his skills were not low. If he really wanted to, even if he couldn't defeat Fu Junheng, he could take this opportunity to come and find him again.
Why has Fu Junheng refused to admit it all along?
This question remained unresolved in Mu Chenshuang's heart. Whenever she thought about it, she felt that there was always something between her and Fu Junheng that she could not see clearly, could not touch, and could not cross.
At times like these, Mu Chenshuang felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on the flames of her burning longing for Fu Junheng, instantly calming her down and making her rational.
Mu Chenshuang pondered to herself: Could it be that the secret Fu Junheng kept from her was related to Mu Chunxi? Or did Mu Chunxi know? What exactly was their relationship? Were they just acquaintances?
Thinking to herself, Mu Chenshuang couldn't help but recall the changes in Mu Chunxi's expression every time she saw Fu Junheng when he was still in Kyoto.
She had overlooked many things before, but now that she thinks about it, Mu Chunxi's gaze towards Fu Junheng often revealed her undisguised fervor and longing.
