Sure enough, the next moment, Lord Mu turned his back, stood with his hands behind his back, and sighed, "If the Second Prince really wants to frame me, I believe that Prime Minister Shen will not stand idly by. I will definitely work with Prime Minister Shen to persuade the Emperor."
"I believe that His Majesty will not allow the mistakes and tragedies of the past to repeat themselves this time." Lord Mu slammed his hand heavily on the table.
A sense of helplessness welled up in Mu Chenshuang's eyes. She couldn't understand how Marquis Mu could be so foolish as to still believe in Feng Guche.
She couldn't help but say, "Father, have you forgotten the principle that when someone's merits overshadow the emperor's, the emperor is wary of them? Back then, the emperor could treat the Prince of Libei like that, so why can't he treat the Marquis of Jingbian's mansion the same way today?"
"You!" Lord Mu turned around anxiously and angrily, but when he met Mu Chenshuang's wise and calm eyes, he couldn't say anything.
Speechless after being rebuked, Lord Mu was still somewhat unwilling, and he sat down with a dissatisfied thud.
Mu Chenshuang remained calm and composed, saying, "Besides, Lu Wei is an informant sent by the Imperial Observatory. Isn't that precisely because the Emperor doesn't trust you?"
“I think, barring any unforeseen circumstances, she will definitely come and pester my father again these days, after all, it is her duty as an informant.”
Mu Chenshuang had already secretly made a plan in her mind. If Lord Mu was really stubborn and refused to listen to advice, then she would have no choice but to continue to act secretly according to the plan.
However, she is not worried that her intentions have been exposed to Lord Mu today. After all, even if Lord Mu cannot agree with her ideas, he certainly will not take the initiative to expose them.
Having calmed down, Mu Chenshuang looked at Lord Mu with a calm gaze and said, "Father, I think what you should be worrying about next is how to deal with Lu Wei properly."
Speaking of Lu Wei, she is indeed a headache for Lord Mu right now, a troublesome problem that cannot be easily solved.
Lord Mu pinched the bridge of his nose and said, "I understand. You'd better not leave the manor or have any contact with anyone these days. Also, you're not allowed to mention what you just said again!"
Mu Chenshuang already had a plan in mind, so she didn't argue with Lord Mu about what had just happened. She simply replied, "I won't see anyone these days, but I will still go to the free clinic."
Upon hearing this, Lord Mu could not say anything more and could only wave his hand to let her leave first.
When Mu Chenshuang opened the door, she saw Linglong watching the outside very closely, not slacking off for a moment. Inside the house, she was also paying close attention to the outside. Fortunately, no one had come in during their conversation.
Seeing Mu Chenshuang come out, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly went to greet her, "Going back?"
Mu Chenshuang glanced back at the Marquis Mu, who was propping his head up with his hand, looking very troubled and conflicted, and then calmly said, "Go back."
After Mu Chenshuang returned to her courtyard, Honghua brought her dinner.
After washing her hands, Mu Chenshuang sat down. Looking at the large table of sumptuous dishes, she had no appetite. Upon learning that Honghua had also not eaten dinner, she ordered her and Linglong to sit down and eat with her.
Linglong and Honghua initially refused, but seeing Mu Chenshuang's serious expression and knowing that Mu Chenshuang truly treated them like sisters, they sat down.
When she was almost full, Honghua suddenly remembered something and quickly put down her chopsticks and said, "By the way, Miss, before you came back today, when I went to prepare dinner for you, I heard that there was a commotion in the courtyard over there."
