"For so many years, Mother has been working hard between the Imperial Observatory and the Marquis's Mansion. Although she has been monitoring the Marquis and the Marquis's Mansion's every move, she has never really had any intention of harming the Marquis."
Lu Wei calmed down a bit and continued, "And you three are my flesh and blood, so naturally I will protect you and would never harm you."
"In recent years, the Chengtian Observatory has become much lax in its surveillance of the Marquis's residence. Mother was hoping that after getting rid of Mu Chenshuang, our family could finally live together properly, but..."
As Lu Wei spoke, she couldn't help but burst into tears again. Today, she suddenly received orders not only to monitor the Marquis's residence but also to collect evidence of the Marquis's misconduct. The words were harsh, and the hidden meaning behind them was self-evident.
When Lu Wei saw the news, her heart sank. She never expected that after all her hard work and planning, it was bound to happen.
After hearing this, Mu Chunxi was indeed shocked. She never expected that Lu Wei had been a pawn used by the Chengtianjian to monitor the Jingbian Marquis's residence.
For a moment, Mu Chunxi didn't know how to react.
She got up and walked to the window, looking at the tree trunk framed in the picture outside the window. She felt that even though the room was full of greenery, it could not hide its desolate and withered future.
Thinking back to when she chose to follow Fu Junheng, she had already abandoned everything in the Marquis's mansion from the bottom of her heart, and even her betrayal of her parents was far more resolute than Lu Wei's.
But now she couldn't help but sigh at her current predicament.
She clenched her hands silently. She suddenly realized that Feng Mo Ran had already taken control of most of the court, and perhaps the Chengtianjian had long since completely betrayed Emperor Feng Gu Che.
If that's really the case, she might have no chance of survival if she went to beg Feng Guche.
She wanted to turn around and comfort Lu Wei, but then she suddenly remembered that Feng Mo Ran had actually given Lord Mu a choice, but Lord Mu had already refused and was unwilling to go along with her.
In this way, Lord Mu became a stumbling block for Feng Mo Ran, and Feng Mo Ran would not keep him. In fact, it is hard to say that today's events were not Feng Mo Ran's doing.
Upon realizing this, Mu Chunxi's eyes instantly turned cold. She understood that she could neither save the Marquis's mansion nor Marquis Mu.
She slowly closed her eyes, her hatred for Mu Chenshuang leading her to choose resolute betrayal once again.
After a moment, Mu Chunxi, having calmed down, could only turn to Lu Wei and say, "Mother, I know your true feelings for Father, but... but if you reveal your stance now, I'm afraid they will be hostile to you and send new people to monitor the Marquis's residence."
"Wouldn't the Marquis's mansion be in even greater danger then?" Mu Chunxi could only try her best to calm Lu Wei down.
If it weren't for the fact that Lord Mu's safety was involved, Lu Wei wouldn't be so restless and lose her composure. She understood the reasoning Mu Chunxi was giving, but right now it seemed like she needed someone to remind her of it.
“You’re right. No matter how difficult it is, I will still deal with them.” Lu Wei held Mu Chunxi’s hand and said, “But perhaps I should make plans for you and Yazhi sooner rather than later.”
"Oh?" Mu Chunxi was taken aback and looked at her with some confusion.
Lu Wei said somewhat to herself, "Logically speaking, you are extremely skilled and travel all over the world alone without your mother worrying. But if that day really comes, you absolutely cannot stay in Tianzhao Kingdom."
