"Alright, Nan Zhi, please be careful as well." Mu Chenshuang came out of the cabin to see him off.
Shen Nan moved lightly, and with the agility of a swallow, flew to the shore.
The cruise ship continued to move slowly, drifting downstream.
Mu Chenshuang returned to the Marquis's residence at dusk.
Linglong and Honghua, who had been waiting anxiously in the mansion, hurriedly went to greet them.
"Did my father come to ask about this today?" After sitting on the cruise ship for so long, Mu Chenshuang was quite tired.
“No,” Linglong quickly replied. “The Marquis has been in the military camp all day and only just returned.”
Upon hearing this, Mu Chenshuang paused in her act of entering the house.
Thinking that Lord Mu might have spent the whole day with Feng Mo Ran, he felt somewhat annoyed and uneasy.
"Miss, the meal is ready." Honghua came to invite Mu Chenshuang to dinner, but she hesitated and shook her head.
"I'm going to check on my father. I'll eat when I get back," Mu Chenshuang said, turning and walking towards the door.
As Mu Chenshuang left, a faint fragrance seemed to waft through the room. Linglong and Honghua wanted to say something, but after thinking for a moment, they could only stop and watch him leave.
Before they even reached Lord Mu's door, Mu Chenshuang saw Mu Chunxi coming out of Lord Mu's room from under the eaves.
Seeing this, Mu Chenshuang stopped in her tracks and looked up to face the direction Mu Chunxi was coming from.
Mu Chunxi, who was still deep in thought, suddenly looked up and saw Mu Chenshuang standing in front of her. Her gaze immediately turned sharp and murderous.
Mu Chenshuang's expression darkened. She felt that Mu Chunxi's hatred for her seemed a bit too intense lately.
Completely different from the previous concealment, it is so naked, without any embellishment whatsoever.
She hates herself so much, yet she has no choice but to live under the same roof with herself every day. What is she secretly plotting?
Mu Chenshuang's sharp, hawk-like eyes were also fixed on Mu Chunxi, showing no fear or timidity whatsoever.
"Hmph!" Mu Chunxi turned her eyes away disdainfully, clenching her hands in resentment.
If it weren't for the fact that the Second Prince Feng Mo Ran hadn't temporarily forbidden her from harming Mu Chen Shuang, she would have had many opportunities to do so.
Unfortunately, it must be admitted that Mu Chenshuang was also quite skilled, and her luck always seemed unusually good. To be more cautious, she was willing to join the Second Prince's camp.
After Mu Chunxi left, Mu Chenshuang withdrew her searching gaze, straightened her back, and walked gracefully and slowly toward Lord Mu's house.
"Father, what brings Chunxi here?" Mu Chenshuang greeted him when she saw the door was open and then came in.
Lord Mu seemed to be sitting at his desk deep in thought. Hearing her words, he looked up and casually replied, "Chunxi said she wanted to go to a temple to worship Buddha and stay in the mountains for a few days to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist prayers to cleanse her mind of distractions."
These words came out naturally by Lord Mu, who clearly didn't think much of it and considered it a common occurrence.
“That’s just her personality; she doesn’t like staying in the manor,” Lord Mu said with a slight smile. “Compared to her previous wanderings and disappearances, it’s already quite good that she now prefers to stay in a temple in the mountains near the capital.”
"Oh?" Mu Chenshuang raised her eyebrows slightly, her voice rising.
Clearly, this flimsy reason could not convince Mu Chenshuang.
Seeing that Lord Mu seemed completely unaware of Mu Chunxi's thoughts, Mu Chenshuang lowered her head and pondered to herself.
