Fu Junheng's eyes flashed with a dark light as he looked down at her lower abdomen. A smile played on his lips as he said softly, "I can't just stand by and watch Princess Weiyang suffer."
"Your Highness is truly infatuated with me, to the point that you no longer care that I have been intimate with other men."
This statement was tinged with a test.
Fu Junheng lowered his hand, his tone flippant, "Given what happened just now, how could I possibly care about so many things?"
Mu Chenshuang's eyes darkened, and her fingers clenched tighter. "Is that so? It seems I thought too much about Crown Prince Junheng. So Your Highness is just a frivolous and lustful person? This makes one wonder if Your Highness is not only unable to control himself with me, but also with any excessively beautiful woman."
The words were spoken.
Fu Junheng's eyes dimmed instantly, and his face darkened.
Mu Chenshuang watched the change in his expression. She didn't want to guess whether it was because she had hit the nail on the head or because his words had humiliated him, but she promised that there would never be a next time.
"In the future, it would be best for Crown Prince Junheng to keep his distance from me. His Highness does not care about his reputation, but I am an unmarried woman and cannot afford to have my reputation ruined."
He then gave a slight curtsy and said in a cold voice, "Farewell."
Mu Chenshuang strode past Fu Junheng and headed towards the door.
Fu Junheng stood still, turned to the side, narrowed his eyes and stared in the direction the woman had left, his heart sinking suddenly.
Mu Chenshuang left Yaoguang Residence.
Qi Ye sat in the carriage, a blade of grass dangling from his mouth, looking every bit the rogue. He caught a glimpse of a figure appearing at the door and suddenly jumped off the carriage.
"I'm still considering whether or not to rush in and rescue Miss."
Mu Chenshuang ignored his teasing and said, "Let's go back to the manor."
Qi Ye noticed that something was wrong with her expression and reached out to help her into the carriage. "What's wrong? Were you really bullied?"
Mu Chenshuang gave him a cold stare, her gaze carrying a warning.
Qi Ye was taken aback, his shoulders hunched, and he muttered to himself, "Did he really get... you know?"
Inside the Marquis's residence.
Lu Wei wrote a letter and handed it to Yao Si, saying, "Go!"
Yao took the envelope with both hands, looked at Lu Wei, and said, "I'm afraid troubling that person so much will displease him."
"Just send it over; he'll understand when he sees it."
Yao didn't ask any more questions and nodded in response, "Yes, this servant will go right away."
"Be careful not to get discovered."
Lu Wei gave a reminder, and then she arrived at Mu Yazhi's courtyard, where she heard crackling sounds coming from inside the house.
Mu Yazhi unleashed a series of tantrums, her anger burning away her reason, and she kept cursing, "Damn bitch, Mu Chenshuang, what are you? A discarded woman, a worthless slut that nobody wants."
The servants stood trembling, and no one dared to step forward to stop her, because one of the servants who had tried to stop her earlier had been beaten until he vomited blood by Mu Yazhi.
All his anger was vented on the servants.
She wished she could tear Mu Chenshuang to pieces.
She endured the pain of her disfigured face, but in the end, she not only received no glory, but also suffered endless humiliation, all because of that bitch Mu Chenshuang. "Mu Chenshuang, I will make you suffer a terrible death."
"Ya'er".
Lu Wei's voice brought Mu Yazhi back to her senses.
Mu Yazhi turned around abruptly to look at her mother and rushed forward.
"mother!"
Mu Yazhi threw herself into Lu Wei's arms and cried heartbrokenly.
Lu Wei reached out and stroked Mu Yazhi's head, "Don't worry, Mother will definitely not let Mu Chenshuang get away with this."
As he spoke, a sinister glint appeared in his eyes.
Mu Yazhi looked up at her mother with bloodshot eyes, her voice hoarse, "So we're just going to return Mu Chenshuang's fiefdom to her like this? Are we really going to have to make up for it with several thousand taels of silver?"
Lu Wei's lips curled into a sinister sneer as he said, "Of course the fiefdom must be returned, since His Majesty has already spoken, but she won't get a single tael of silver."
Mu Yazhi was taken aback and asked in confusion, "Mother, what idea have you come up with?"
Lu Wei raised her hand and gently stroked Mu Yazhi's cheek, "You'll find out when the time comes."
Mu Yazhi responded, her mood improving slightly.
"My face has almost recovered. When I'm in a bad mood, I go out and buy some jewelry."
Mu Yazhi clenched her fingers, lowered her eyes, stomped her foot, and said indignantly, "I'm not in the mood to buy jewelry right now. I wish I could see Mu Chenshuang's reputation ruined immediately."
Just as Lu Wei was saying something, a maid entered, bowed respectfully, and said, "Madam, the princess has returned."
