But from Lord Mu's stern face, one could see the displeasure in his heart. However, due to his duty, he could not shirk it and could only speak politely and respectfully, but with an inexplicable distance.
With her brows furrowed, Mu Chenshuang stared intently at Feng Mozhan. Although she felt as if she were facing a formidable enemy, her face remained calm and composed, revealing no trace of her nervousness, only a hint of exploration.
As she was staring, Feng Mo Ran suddenly looked up in her direction and gave a subtle, almost imperceptible, smile.
Although Feng Mo Ran's expression when looking at Mu Chen Shuang was very subtle, Lu Wei and Mu Chun Xi still caught it immediately.
Lu Wei's expression remained unchanged, showing no emotion whatsoever. Mu Chunxi followed Feng Mo Ran's gaze and almost rolled her eyes when she saw Mu Chen Shuang.
I don't know what kind of magic Mu Chenshuang has now, she wasn't like this before.
Mu Chunxi's probing gaze shifted back and forth between Feng Mo Ran and Mu Chen Shuang's faces, secretly pondering what kind of feelings Feng Mo Ran harbored for Mu Chen Shuang.
If Feng Mo Ran's feelings for Mu Chen Shuang are merely a test to win her over, and she hasn't developed any real affection for her, then perhaps when Feng Mo Ran completely loses patience with her, she will have the opportunity to make a move against Mu Chen Shuang.
But what if Feng Mozhan has other feelings for Mu Chenshuang?
Thinking of this, Mu Chunxi's expression immediately turned serious.
If Feng Mo Ran really had such intentions and wouldn't allow her to touch her, then she should think of another way out.
As she was thinking, she suddenly felt a chilling gaze directed at her.
Startled, she quickly looked up and immediately saw Feng Mo Ran's deep, sharp eyes, which seemed to see right through her thoughts.
Startled, Mu Chunxi quickly lowered her head.
The subtle interaction of expressions between Mu Chunxi and Feng Moran might not have been noticed by Lord Mu and Lu Wei, but Mu Chenshuang keenly observed it.
She was surprised and confused, and glanced at the two of them again, but then there was no more eye contact between them.
Later, when dinner was served, Mu Chen Shuangbai noticed something amiss again.
Mu Chunxi, who originally had a somewhat flamboyant and unrestrained personality, seemed to become reserved and respectful in front of Feng Moran, even showing a hint of cautiousness that was not easily noticed by others.
This feeling wasn't one of respect and courtesy towards the second prince of Tianzhao Kingdom, but rather more like facing one's terrifying master or superior.
Having sensed something amiss, Mu Chenshuang remained silent and chose to quietly finish her meal with them.
As they saw Feng Moran off, she took advantage of the darkness to whisper to Mu Chenshuang, "What has the Princess thought about the jade pendant?"
"The princess has refused to come to see me, so I had no choice but to come here myself." Feng Mo Ran was very close to Mu Chen Shuang. When these words gently drifted into Mu Chen Shuang's ears, she paused and was slightly taken aback.
Fortunately, it was dark and no one could see the subtle change in Mu Chenshuang's expression.
Feng Moran was indeed here for me today. The jade pendant he mentioned was the one left behind by Madam Mu, Xie Changqing.
Mu Chenshuang understood that Feng Mozhan had been waiting for her to beg him, and was even impatient to use the secret behind the jade pendant to control her.
