“He follows you, Father, and I believe you know the reason for it in your heart.”
Lord Mu's expression was grave.
Mu Chenshuang continued, "He found me today and gave me a jade pendant."
Lord Mu's eyes darkened as he looked at Mu Chenshuang. "What jade pendant?"
Mu Chenshuang took out the jade pendant.
The moment Lord Mu saw the jade pendant, his pupils constricted sharply.
“Father, you should know about this jade pendant.”
What did he say to you?
Mu Chenshuang replied, "He didn't say anything to me, but he definitely knows what I want to know. He wants to recruit me into his camp. I'm very curious, he's using this as a bargaining chip for me. Is this matter really that important?"
Lord Mu lowered his eyes.
After a while.
"Let Dad think about it and then I'll talk to you about some things," he said in a helpless tone.
Mu Chenshuang didn't press for details, "Okay."
"How are things between you and Crown Prince Junheng now?" Lord Mu asked.
Mu Chenshuang lowered her eyelids slightly, a dark light flashing in her eyes, "My relationship with him was just a fleeting moment."
Lord Mu sighed and said, "Crown Prince Junheng should be setting off to return to Shengjing soon, so Shuang'er, you just need to understand in your heart."
Mu Chenshuang hummed in agreement.
Lord Mu didn't say anything more, but patted her shoulder, "Rest well, I won't bother you anymore."
Lord Mu took a step forward, preparing to leave.
Mu Chenshuang turned around and suddenly said, "Father, there is one more thing."
Lord Mu turned to look at her. "What is it?"
Mu Chenshuang said directly, "Lu Wei is from the Chengtianjian."
The words were spoken.
Lord Mu's expression changed, and he asked, "When did you find out?"
"Father, you knew this before you even returned to the manor, but so far she doesn't seem to have taken any action. I just don't know what kind of deal she made with the Chengtian Observatory that would be detrimental to the Marquis's manor?"
When she took over the Marquis's mansion, she checked all the accounts and correspondence with the mansion. There were basically no major problems, or if there were, Lu Wei had already dealt with them in advance.
Lord Mu withdrew his gaze, his expression grave, and said, "Father understands. Father will handle this matter."
Mu Chenshuang hummed in agreement.
Lord Mu left the courtyard.
Mu Chenshuang walked to the front of the hall and looked at the darkening sky outside the courtyard, wondering how Lord Mu would handle this matter.
I wonder how Shen Nanzhi is doing now.
His acceptance of the remnants of the Libei King's forces was inherently a dangerous act.
At this moment.
Linglong hurried over and asked with concern, "Miss, are you alright?"
Mu Chenshuang looked away and said, "I'm fine."
"By the way, Miss, Qi Ye has returned with the letter."
Linglong handed the letter in her hand to Mu Chenshuang.
Mu Chenshuang reached out and took the letter, returning inside. She opened the envelope and read only a few words: "Everything is going well, Miss, please don't worry."
The handwriting is indeed that of Shichiya.
She breathed a sigh of relief; at least she was safe.
"Miss, what did Qi Ye write?"
Mu Chenshuang gave the envelope to Linglong.
Linglong looked at the contents of the envelope and said, "It's good that Qiye didn't mess things up for you, Miss." She put down the letter, looked at Mu Chenshuang, and asked, "Miss, I feel that things at the Marquis's residence have been rather unsettled lately."
Mu Chenshuang sat down on the stool and said, "Things have indeed been turbulent lately, and the road ahead will be very difficult."
"I believe that with you by my side, Miss, the Marquis's mansion will be safe and sound."
Mu Chenshuang gave a faint "hmm".
"Go and prepare some food for me, I'm a little hungry now."
She didn't eat much at the Prince Xiaoyao's mansion, and the food didn't suit her taste. What Fu Junheng said at the time made her even less able to eat.
"I'll go right away."
Linglong quickly turned and left.
After dinner, Mu Chenshuang washed up and sat in front of the dressing mirror, holding the jade pendant and stroking it carefully, wondering what secret it held.
late at night.
A figure quietly left the Marquis's residence, using light-footed skills to quickly arrive at Yaoguang Residence.
She went straight into the study and saw the man sitting behind his desk writing. The candlelight illuminated his deep-set face, making him appear even more handsome and incomparably beautiful.
Mu Chunxi's heart skipped a beat. She stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Your Highness!"
Fu Junheng didn't even look up at her, his voice cold and deep as he asked, "What is it?"
"I would like to ask Your Highness, should I accompany you on your return journey?"
He had not given her any instructions, and she was quite clear about the current situation of the Marquis's residence. Since His Highness was leaving now, there was no need for her to rush back in the first place.
Fu Junheng said, "You stay in Kyoto."
The words were spoken.
Mu Chunxi panicked. "Your Highness, I wish to return to Shengjing with you."
Fu Junheng paused, raised his eyes, and looked at Mu Chunxi with cold eyes: "This is an order."
Mu Chunxi clenched her fists tighter. "Then what does Your Highness need me for?"
"You don't need to do anything, just stay in the Marquis's residence."
"Your Highness, I do not understand what you mean?"
Doing nothing is clearly putting her on the margins.
