"I went to Yaoguang Residence today, but it seems that Crown Prince Junheng has offended Princess Weiyang," Feng Ji said.
Mu Chenshuang's face darkened, and a mocking smile curled at the corner of her lips. "With Crown Prince Junheng being so noble and arrogant, looking down on everyone, would he even consider offending anyone?"
Feng Ji looked at Mu Chenshuang. Although she was smiling, her eyes revealed indifference and disdain.
He was genuinely curious about what Jun Heng had done to elicit such an attitude from Mu Chenshuang.
“Princess Weiyang is an exception.” Feng Ji said this with a somewhat uneasy tone.
If it weren't for Junheng, why would he have to be so subservient? Junheng remained calm in the mansion, while he had to endure this cold treatment.
"It seems that Prince Xiaoyao has come to plead for Crown Prince Junheng, worried that I will not continue to treat him."
Now that she is the only one who can save Fu Junheng, how could Fu Junheng let this opportunity pass?
How could someone as self-important as him lower himself to beg her? So the only option was to send Feng Ji.
After Fu Junheng took liberties with her, he brazenly shifted half the blame onto her and then had Feng Ji intercede on his behalf.
He really did get all the benefits; he had a very clever plan.
He may seem aloof and noble, but he's just an irresponsible person.
"Now only Princess Weiyang can treat Junheng. Consider this my plea for mercy. I wonder if Princess Weiyang would be willing to do me this favor."
Mu Chenshuang slightly raised her head and looked into the distance, saying in a deep voice, "I will give him one last treatment in four days, as a favor to the Prince of Xiaoyao."
As he spoke, he glanced at Feng Ji with an exceptionally serious and earnest look in his eyes, showing no hint of joking.
Feng Ji asked, "I wonder what Crown Prince Junheng did to Princess Weiyang?"
Mu Chenshuang lowered her eyes and looked away, saying, "I don't want to mention it again."
Feng Ji vaguely guessed what was going on; perhaps Jun Heng had done something to Mu Chenshuang that damaged her reputation.
However, Jun Heng's attitude and expression were indifferent. If it were anyone else, it would be fine, but now it was Mu Chenshuang.
Judging from the situation, if Jun Heng doesn't humble himself and personally apologize to Mu Chenshuang, Mu Chenshuang probably won't punish him anymore.
"Since Princess Weiyang is unwilling to speak, I will not press further."
Feng Ji did not linger and left the Marquis's residence.
As Mu Chenshuang saw Feng Ji off, she happened to see Yao Si hurriedly walking towards the main courtyard, looking flustered.
Lu Wei must be getting restless by now; let's see how she responds.
Lu Wei knew this the moment Feng Ji entered the manor.
Yao rushed into the study and looked at Lu Wei, saying, "Madam, Lord Cai has already begun investigating this fund. If it turns out that this fund is just a sham, I'm afraid you won't be able to escape. The lord said that he will help you deal with Xun Shi and the assassin and will not implicate you, but he wants you to take out this money to make up the difference immediately. There is no time to lose."
When Yao spoke the last four words, she enunciated them with great force.
Lu Wei's legs went weak, and she sat heavily on the stool.
"mother!"
Mu Yazhi supported Lu Wei, biting her lip tightly, feeling resentful and angry, her entire body filled with nerve cells.
Lu Wei's face turned pale instantly, her fists clenched, and her breathing became extremely heavy. She hadn't expected that even the Chengtianjian Bureau couldn't pull Mu Chenshuang off her horse.
Since that person had already spoken, she had no other choice but to painfully part with her own money to make up for the shortfall.
In the end, she shot herself in the foot.
"Go to the accounting office and get the money."
As Lu Wei spoke, it seemed as if she had used up all her strength to say those words.
Mu Yazhi stomped her foot angrily.
After Yao took the money from Lu Wei, she hurriedly left the Marquis's residence.
"Mother, are we really going to let this go like this?" Mu Yazhi was very unwilling.
Not only did they fail to drag Mu Chenshuang into the water, they also lost a huge sum of money.
Lu Wei was not in the mood to talk.
"Ya'er, you can go down now."
"mother……"
Mu Yazhi was furious, but before she could finish speaking, she met Lu Wei's displeased gaze.
"Didn't you understand what your mother said?"
Mu Yazhi was intimidated by Lu Wei's anger and dared not say a word. Her mother had never scolded her so harshly before. It was all because of Mu Chenshuang. She would remember this debt.
One hour later.
Listen to the bamboo courtyard.
Qi Ye leaped in through the side door and landed right in front of Linglong, startling her so much that she spilled the medicine she was carrying. Just as the bowl was about to fall, Qi Ye caught it with lightning speed.
When Linglong saw it was him, she scolded him angrily, "Qiye, are you out of your mind? Why aren't you using the front door? Are you a thief?"
Qi Ye stared at Linglong, "Little brat, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand."
"You still have the nerve to talk back? I'm going to tell Miss."
"Fine, I'll go with you to sue."
Mu Chenshuang was reading medical texts in her study when she heard a commotion outside the door.
These two are never quiet when they're together.
As soon as Linglong entered the study, she angrily complained, "Miss, Qiye climbed over the wall and spilled the medicine I brought to you."
Mu Chenshuang closed the book in her hand and said, "I let him climb over the wall to get in. You'll have to go and cook another bowl."
Upon hearing this, Linglong's face stiffened.
Qi Ye nudged her with his elbow and said smugly, "Little girl, did you hear me?"
Linglong glared at him, snorted, and quickly left to brew the medicine again.
"How is it?" Mu Chenshuang asked in a deep voice.
Qi Ye stepped forward, took out a stack of silver notes from her bosom, and placed them on the table. "Miss, you guessed right. That maid really does have more than ten thousand silver notes on her."
