Mu Chenshuang looked up at the man in front of her, her worry was genuine.
The fact that he and Feng Ji arrived so quickly clearly shows they knew about Shen Nanzhi's assassination attempt, but the speed at which they found out was a bit too fast; even Feng Guche might not have received the news.
I have some doubts.
"I'm fine, what are you doing here?"
Seeing that her complexion was rosy and her breathing was even, Fu Junheng was relieved to find that she was indeed unharmed and replied, "I noticed that you hadn't returned to your residence, so I came to the Prime Minister's residence to check on you and see if you were being pestered."
His tone of voice was noticeably gentler, with a smile playing on his lips. He was no longer the cold and menacing man he had been moments before.
Feng Ji, standing to the side, looked at Fu Junheng. He knew all too well how Fu Junheng had changed. No one is born cold-blooded; it's just that they haven't met the right person yet.
Mu Chenshuang glared coldly at Fu Junheng and said sarcastically, "Do you think everyone is as shameless as you?"
Faced with Mu Chenshuang's sarcasm, Fu Junheng simply smiled without saying a word, and said, "Let's go, I'll take you back to your residence."
Before Mu Chenshuang could answer, he lifted her up and placed her on the horse's back.
"Fu Junheng!"
Mu Chenshuang was startled.
Immediately afterwards.
Fu Junheng immediately mounted his horse, sat behind Mu Chenshuang, and pulled her into his arms while holding the reins. "Giddy up!"
Mu Chenshuang kept a sullen face, but let Fu Junheng do as he pleased.
Feng Ji watched the two leave and didn't follow them. After all, following them now would probably disturb his good time. However, he was now considering whether to wait for them at Yao Guang Residence or go straight back to the Prince's Mansion. After all, he was with Mu Chen Shuang now and didn't know how long he would dawdle before going back, or he might just stay and not leave.
However, now he can go into the Prime Minister's residence to see what's going on.
It's too much of a coincidence that Shen Nanzhi was assassinated today.
Fu Junheng drove slowly back to the manor with Mu Chenshuang.
"How did you know about the assassination attempt at the Prime Minister's residence?" Mu Chenshuang asked.
Fu Junheng replied, "Feng Ji returned from the palace banquet and probably ran into the person who was going to report to the palace on the way, and just happened to meet him."
Mu Chenshuang's eyes darkened, and instead of pressing further, she asked, "You didn't attend the palace banquet?"
"I'm gone!"
"So you weren't with Feng Ji?"
"I must leave the palace soon to check on you. What if you stay at the Prime Minister's residence and don't go back?"
Fu Junheng spoke in a low, mellow, and ambiguous voice. As he spoke, he deliberately leaned close to Mu Chenshuang's ear, his breath falling on her neck, making her shiver all over.
Mu Chenshuang turned around abruptly and glared at him, then pushed him away, creating distance between them, and said coldly, "I'm not deaf, you don't need to get this close."
Fu Junheng was forced to raise his head, but he only chuckled softly as he looked at her, his gaze filled with endless tenderness.
Mu Chenshuang felt uncomfortable with his laughter and gaze. She lowered her eyes and tried her best to hide the panic and turmoil in her eyes by using the darkness.
Fu Junheng escorted Mu Chenshuang back to the Marquis's residence.
He carried her off the horse.
"You must be tired today, get some rest," Fu Junheng said, lowering his head to kiss the woman's forehead.
The fleeting kiss sent a jolt through Mu Chenshuang's heart.
She walked towards the Marquis's residence without looking back, as if she were trying to hide something.
Fu Junheng stood there watching her departing figure until it disappeared from his sight. The tenderness in his expression gradually faded as her figure vanished.
