Lu Wei decided to go find Mu Chenshuang first.
Just as Lu Wei was heading to Tingzhu Courtyard, a dark figure quietly left.
When Mu Chenshuang saw Qi Ye return, she asked, "How did it go?"
Qiye told her about their conversation.
"But they didn't reveal who was specifically behind it."
Mu Chenshuang lowered her eyelids slightly. It seemed that Yao was not Lu Wei's servant, but more like someone who came to monitor her. It seemed that she was more clear-headed than Lu Wei.
We need to use other methods to find out who's behind Lu Wei.
Lu Wei soon came to her door, hoping that she would find Doctor Li to treat Mu Yazhi.
"I can plead for Dr. Li to come back, but I have two conditions."
Lu Wei knew that Mu Chenshuang would definitely take this opportunity to make demands.
"What are the conditions?"
"Red Flower's Contract of Indenture"
Lu Wei was taken aback. It wouldn't be a problem for Mu Chen Shuang to leave a rough and sturdy maid that she didn't want, since she only deserved to use things that they didn't want. But it was really unsettling that Mu Chen Shuang was so proactive in asking for someone.
“If you need someone to serve you, I can arrange a more capable maid. That maid is incompetent and can’t even handle the smallest things. I’m afraid she won’t take good care of you.”
Mu Chenshuang said coldly, "I think this maid is quite good. If you, my aunt, are unwilling, then I can't help you."
Lu Wei gritted her teeth secretly; a lowly maidservant couldn't cause any trouble.
"Okay, I'll have someone bring it over later."
"I'd like to see the Marquis's household income and expenditure over the past year," Mu Chenshuang continued.
Lu Wei clenched her fists secretly; this was clearly a challenge to her authority as the head of the Marquis's mansion.
"Shuang'er has already taken back her fiefdom, and besides, the Marquis's mansion is now managed perfectly by me, so there are no problems whatsoever. Why do you need to see these accounts?"
Mu Chenshuang looked at Lu Wei with a cold gaze, "What, I can't even take a look?"
His flippant tone carried an air of absolute authority.
Lu Wei was filled with hatred; she didn't have time to waste on her here.
A surge of resentment welled up in his heart, and he clenched his fist inwardly.
"Since Shuang'er wants to see, I'll let you see."
Mu Chenshuang coldly curled her lips, "Fine, once you bring these two things over, I'll have Qiye bring Doctor Li back."
Upon hearing this, Lu Wei's anger flared even more. It seemed that her guess was correct; Doctor Li had definitely been bribed by Mu Chenshuang.
"Then Shuang'er, you must keep your word."
"I always keep my promises."
Lu Wei left Tingzhu Courtyard with a sullen face and quickly brought back Honghua's indenture and accounts.
Mu Chenshuang then asked Qi Ye to find Doctor Li.
While waiting for Doctor Li to arrive, Mu Chenshuang flipped through the account book. The records in the account book seemed to be without any problems, but this account book was probably only kept for the person who was auditing the accounts.
This outcome was within her expectations.
Qi Ye brought back Doctor Li, and then Mu Chenshuang asked him to check on Mu Yazhi's condition.
Dr. Li prescribed several doses of medicine. After Mu Yazhi drank one dose, the pain on her face was significantly reduced, and the redness and swelling subsided.
"Dr. Li, will there be any aftereffects?" Lu Wei asked worriedly.
Dr. Li replied vaguely, "That depends on Miss San's recovery and subsequent treatment."
Not receiving a definite answer, Lu Wei couldn't help but feel uneasy.
After giving a few instructions, Doctor Li left the Marquis's residence.
Qi Ye returned to the courtyard and asked, "Miss, are you just going to let her go so easily?"
A sly glint appeared in Mu Chenshuang's eyes. "Who said I wanted to completely cure her?"
Seven Nights instantly understood.
Three days later.
The winter hunt ends, signifying the approach of the New Year.
Mu Chenshuang got up early in the morning, and Linglong helped her with her hair and makeup. After all, they were going to the hunting grounds, so her clothes and makeup were designed for ease of travel.
Upon reaching the gate, they happened to run into Mu Yazhi, who was leaving. She was dressed in a gorgeous and form-fitting outfit, with a veil covering her face. Anyone who didn't know her would think she was going to some kind of banquet.
Mu Yazhi also saw Mu Chenshuang, her eyes filled with undisguised hatred and intense jealousy.
Dressed in a striking red outfit, Mu Chenshuang was like a blooming wild rose, cold, aloof, and captivatingly beautiful.
Mu Yazhi couldn't understand why Mu Chenshuang, who was also her father's daughter, looked so devastating.
Mu Chenshuang completely ignored the emotions in Mu Yazhi's eyes and strode towards the door.
As soon as I stepped out of the gate, I saw a man with an outstanding figure and noble demeanor riding a fine horse.
