Mu Chenshuang's calm and composed expression suggested that she had expected Mu Chunxi to return to her so quickly.
Mu Chenshuang agreed.
The two left the lobby.
Mu Chunxi got straight to the point and said, "I already know what my mother did to you, Chen Shuang. I am deeply shocked. I never thought that my mother and my third sister would do such a thing. I feel guilty for them. I sincerely apologize to my mother, my third sister, and you, Chen Shuang. I promise that such a thing will never happen again."
Her vision and perspective are indeed incomparable to those of Lu Wei and Mu Yazhi.
Mu Chenshuang couldn't even fathom or understand the woman before her.
"Chunxi, how long can your promise last?" Mu Chenshuang asked.
With unwavering determination in her deep, phoenix-shaped eyes, Mu Chunxi said, "As long as my mother is in the Marquis's mansion, I will never allow her to do anything that would harm the harmony of the mansion."
The words were spoken.
Mu Chenshuang suddenly chuckled softly, a faint smile playing on her lips, its meaning unreadable. "Aunt Lu is truly blessed to have a daughter as magnanimous as Chunxi. Since you've said so, Chunxi, I'm not unreasonable. I don't want Father to return to find the Marquis's mansion in disarray. So, it's not impossible for me to forgive them, mother and son."
Mu Chunxi understood the meaning behind Mu Chenshuang's words: "As long as you can forgive my mother and third sister, whatever you want, as long as I can do it, I will definitely agree to it."
"There's nothing I need Chunxi to do for me right now. How about you write a guarantee to me, which will be considered as owing me a favor? If I need your help in the future, you can help me then, and that will be how I repay this favor, okay?"
Mu Chunxi's eyes darkened slightly; she had no other choice at the moment.
"Okay, I promise you. I will write a guarantee right now. I will also have my mother and third sister come to apologize to you in person and present the guarantee. So I hope you can promise not to talk about the things my mother did to my father."
“Since I have accepted Chunxi’s suggestion, I will naturally not say a word to my father. I can cover for them, but your mother caused quite a stir on the day of the sacrifice. There were quite a few people who saw it, and I can’t guarantee that someone will not tell him about it.”
"As long as you, Shen Shuang, are willing to keep quiet and speak up for my mother, that's enough."
Mu Chenshuang didn't say anything more and agreed, "Okay!"
Lord Mu knew that Lu Wei and Mu Yazhi lived in the backyard, a fact that Lu Wei herself needed to explain. Mu Chenshuang covered for her lie.
Lord Mu therefore did not pursue the matter further, and gave Lu Wei a few perfunctory reprimands, but still sought Mu Chenshuang's opinion on whether he agreed to let them move back to the courtyard.
Mu Chenshuang agreed, "Since Aunt Lu knows she was wrong, I won't press her any further. After all, we're family. Aunt Lu can move back in from now on."
They appeared harmonious, but each harbored their own thoughts. Their superb acting skills convinced Lord Mu, since they were all his closest people, so he wasn't too wary of them.
Mu Chenshuang could tell that Lord Mu was indeed quite concerned about Lu Wei.
After lunch.
Lord Mu then rested.
Mu Chunxi led Lu Wei and Mu Yazhi to Mu Chenshuang's courtyard. The mother and son looked so humble that they seemed to be there to apologize.
Seven Nights was training Seirei's swordsmanship in the courtyard when the two noticed someone walking down the corridor and glanced over.
Mu Chunxi also saw Qi Ye, and her pupils widened in shock the moment she saw him.
