"Hmph! Don't be so smug, just you wait and see. I don't care about him, you idiot!" Mu Yazhi muttered to herself, deliberately speaking loudly when she said the word "idiot," as if she meant something and was saying it to Mu Chenshuang.
Mu Chenshuang's heart remained completely unmoved by her words. She raised her eyebrows slightly, entered the mansion, and turned to walk towards her own courtyard.
Once Mu Yazhi had walked away, Linglong quickly walked to Mu Chenshuang's side and said, "Miss, this Third Miss has suddenly started to be friendly with Prince Wei again. It seems she's up to some wicked scheme again."
Mu Chenshuang nodded silently. She agreed with Linglong's words, but Mu Yazhi, with her big breasts and no brains, couldn't make any waves. She didn't even take Lu Wei seriously.
What she is most worried about now is actually the people behind Lu Wei and the Chengtianjian, as well as Feng Moran, who has finally revealed his venomous and ruthless side.
That night, all was calm and peaceful. Before falling asleep, Mu Chenshuang tightly clutched the jade pendant left by Fu Junheng in her hand, her longing spreading endlessly in the darkness, enveloping her entire being.
The next morning, Mu Chenshuang planned to enter the palace.
But to her surprise, Duchess Song Liu was already waiting for her at the gate of the Marquis's mansion.
Upon hearing Linglong's account, Mu Chenshuang's deep and clear eyes instantly turned cold and somber. She raised her eyebrows slightly, seemed to be deep in thought, and then the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.
"Since you came specifically to see me, of course I should go and take a look." Mu Chenshuang walked out with a calm expression.
Linglong, who was beside her, was stunned and didn't quite understand. Previously, her young lady clearly hated seeing the Duchess and disdained to have any pointless entanglement with her, almost ignoring or avoiding her. Why did she take the initiative to see her today?
"Mu..." The Duchess, dressed in brocade and adorned with jewels, looked much older and more haggard than before. Her eyes lit up when she saw Mu Chenshuang. Realizing that she was about to call Mu Chenshuang by her name, she quickly shut her mouth and walked towards her.
"Princess Weiyang, please save Yu'er." After hesitating for a moment, the Duchess, though her face was pale, knelt down in front of Mu Chenshuang and raised her hand to grab Mu Chenshuang's hem.
Just as she reached out her hand, Mu Chenshuang glanced at her coldly and indifferently, took a step back, and dodged her outstretched hand. She didn't even try to hide the disgust and disdain she felt for Song Liu in her eyes.
Song Liu's outstretched hand missed its mark, her face stiffened instantly, and she looked up at Mu Chenshuang with some helplessness.
"Miss, this..." Song Liu's sudden kneeling left Linglong speechless, unable to react for a long time.
The Duchess Song Liu used to be arrogant and haughty towards her young mistress, relying on the fact that her daughter Xiao Qingyu was Feng Xilan's most favored woman. She had openly and secretly mocked and conspired to frame her. Now, she suddenly seems to have lost all her sharpness, bowing her head and lowering her eyes. It is truly a sad sight.
Linglong looked up at Mu Chenshuang again, only to see that Mu Chenshuang's stunningly beautiful face remained completely calm, as if she had long anticipated this scene.
"Princess, regarding what you mentioned last time, I'm willing to cooperate and investigate the situation from back then." Song Liu said in a helpless tone, her voice hoarse, "I only ask that you go to the palace and put in a good word for me with the Crown Prince!"
"Please try to persuade the Crown Prince. He will surely soften his heart. Even just letting him go see Yu'er and say a few words would be helpful. Please try to persuade her to think more positively."
