But an hour passed and still no one was seen in front of the Marquis's mansion.
Mu Chunxi's face darkened.
Seeing that Mu Chunxi had been waiting, the guard stepped forward and said, "Second Miss, if you are waiting for someone, I will inform you when they arrive."
Mu Chunxi thought for a moment and realized that it was just the waiters talking; they had no idea when the food would arrive. She had been too impatient.
"Alright, if anyone comes later, please let me know immediately."
"Yes, Second Miss."
Mu Chunxi turned and left, only to run into Lu Wei, who had come looking for her.
Lu Wei watched as Mu Chunxi changed her clothes again. This makeover was absolutely stunning, and her daughter's beauty was no less than that of Mu Chenshuang.
"Chunxi, what are you doing here? Waiting for someone?" Lu Wei asked.
Mu Chunxi didn't explain much, and just smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just came out for a walk."
Lu Wei stared at her, "Is there something you're hiding from your mother? Do you have someone you like?"
Mu Chunxi's heart tightened instantly, and she felt inexplicably nervous. "Mother, what are you saying?"
"I don't understand you. You are always poised and confident in everything you do, but when it comes to matters of the heart, you become so hesitant and timid, like a young girl just beginning to experience love. The person who can make my daughter's heart flutter must be an exceptionally outstanding gentleman, right?"
Lu Wei asked, her voice a mix of affection and reproach.
Mu Chunxi did not deny it again, "I can't tell Mother now. I will tell Mother when the time is right."
"Alright, alright, if you don't want to talk about it now, then don't. I won't force you. But are you waiting for him now?"
"No, shouldn't he send someone to deliver something?"
"Well, it's getting dark, it should be delivered soon. Someone will inform us later."
Mu Chunxi hummed in agreement.
But no news came by nightfall.
Mu Chunxi sent her maid out to inquire, and the maid returned quickly, saying, "The guards said no one came to deliver anything."
As Mu Chunxi listened, her heart sank. Had the situation changed, or was it not meant to be given to her at all?
I had a very bad feeling for no reason.
At this moment.
Lu Wei walked in and, seeing that Mu Chunxi's expression was off, stepped forward and asked worriedly, "Chunxi, what happened?"
Mu Chunxi snapped out of her daze, realizing her emotional outburst, and quickly composed herself. "It's nothing, Father's back?"
Lord Mu is returning to the capital today, and according to custom, he must go to the palace to report to the emperor.
"You're back. I came to call you to prepare dinner, but you seemed downcast. Hasn't the food been brought yet?"
"It's probably not ready yet."
"Perhaps he wanted to deliver it to you personally?"
Mu Chunxi didn't have much hope for this. In order not to make her mother worry any longer, she nodded in reassurance.
With Lord Mu present, the atmosphere at the dinner table was relatively harmonious.
After dinner.
Lord Mu said to Mu Chenshuang, "Shuang'er, come to the study with your father."
Mu Chenshuang looked at Lord Mu with calm and unwavering eyes and replied, "Alright."
Inside the study.
Lord Mu asked in a serious tone, "I heard that Shuang'er, you've been getting quite close to Crown Prince Junheng lately?"
Mu Chenshuang was not surprised at all by Lord Mu's question, nor did she deny it, saying, "Yes."
Instantly.
Lord Mu frowned slightly, his gaze becoming even more stern. "Shuang'er, do you know what you're doing? Did you deliberately involve Crown Prince Junheng?"
He never expected that she would get involved with Fu Junheng. He originally thought that when Nan Zhi came back, the two of them would develop their relationship, but he never expected it to turn out like this.
