When Mu Chenshuang woke up from her afternoon nap, she called out towards the door, "Linglong!"
No one responded.
Mu Chenshuang was puzzled. She put on the fox fur coat and called out again, but there was still no response.
Suddenly, a bad feeling arose in her heart. She threw off the covers, got up quickly, dressed, and went out, but did not see Linglong in the inner courtyard.
At this moment, a maid came over, saw Mu Chenshuang, curtsied, and said respectfully, "Miss, Madam requests your presence in the study."
Sure enough, when their scheme failed today, they're up to their old tricks again!
She wanted to see what Lu Wei was up to this time.
Mu Chenshuang said coldly, "Let's go!"
She followed the maid to the study and saw Lu Wei calmly and intently painting. She slowly walked forward and said coldly, "Judging from your reaction, Aunt, it seems you are not worried about what happened today at all."
Lu Wei put down her brush and replied softly, "What is there to worry about? Lord Li will naturally find out the real culprit and clear the name of the Marquis's mansion and you, Shuang'er."
Mu Chenshuang chuckled, her laughter laced with sarcasm, "As expected of you, Aunt, you can arrange everything so perfectly."
Since Chunxiao, as the one who committed the poisoning, failed in her attempt to frame him, her only option was to die in order to shut him up forever.
But she wouldn't let Chunxiao die so easily.
Lu Wei smiled and looked at Mu Chenshuang.
Even without being explicitly stated, it was an unspoken understanding.
"Speak, what do you want with me?" Mu Chenshuang asked coldly.
"Nothing much, I just wanted to ask Shuang'er about your relationship with Crown Prince Junheng. What is your relationship?" Lu Wei asked.
Mu Chenshuang's eyes were cold. "My relationship with Crown Prince Junheng is none of Aunt Lu's concern."
Lu Wei walked around the desk and looked calmly at Mu Chenshuang. "Your aunt is just worried about you. You are a newly divorced Crown Princess, and now you're involved with Crown Prince Junheng. If this gets out, it will not be good for your reputation, and it will also damage the Marquis's face."
"If no one goes around gossiping and slandering others, there will be no rumors or gossip."
It's likely that rumors of her illicit relationship with Fu Junheng will soon spread throughout the capital.
Lu Wei smiled faintly, stood in front of Mu Chenshuang, and stopped in her tracks.
"That's true, but the princess was also present today. Who knows what she might be making wild guesses? But if Crown Prince Junheng doesn't mind that you've been married before, Shuang'er might still have a chance to marry into the Western Moon Kingdom. If the Emperor of the Western Moon Kingdom doesn't mind that his son and cousin marry the same woman, then you might still be a glorious Crown Princess."
The warning and sarcasm in her words were particularly obvious, clearly telling her that even if Fu Junheng had feelings for her, the emperor of Xiyue Kingdom might not accept her, and it would only make her a laughing stock.
Mu Chenshuang didn't want to continue the conversation and said coldly, "It's best if Aunt Lu doesn't interfere in my affairs."
Lu Wei stared at her, his eyes dimming slightly, and a cold smile curved his lips. "Shuang'er, don't forget, I'm still in charge of this Marquis's mansion. Your affairs are my affairs. I can't let you act recklessly and ruin the reputation of the Marquis's mansion."
Mu Chenshuang scoffed coldly, her icy gaze sweeping over Lu Wei before she strode around to the desk, her eyes landing on the Xuan paper where Lu Wei was painting.
He reached out and picked up the brush, his gaze turning cold as he looked at the painting on the desk. "Since you want to get involved, we'll see if you have the ability to do so."
As he spoke, he held a brush and stroked it onto the rice paper, erasing the blooming mountain willow orchids on the painting, a flower symbolizing ambition.
No matter what Lu Wei wants, she will never let this woman succeed.
Where is Linglong?
Mu Chensheng asked in a cold voice.
