The next day.
Wei Xu arrived at the Marquis's residence and found Mu Chenshuang.
"You actually knew all along, didn't you?" Wei Xu asked in a low voice, looking as if his soul had been taken away, without any spirit at all.
He thought about it all night until he remembered what Mu Chenshuang had said to him.
Mu Chenshuang put down her teacup and said in a calm tone, "You're not too stupid."
Wei Xu clenched his fist and continued to ask, "Are you so sure you can completely control the situation?"
Suddenly.
A sound of a cup clinking against a stone table rang out.
Wei Xu's heart skipped a beat.
"If you keep wearing that long face, you won't understand anything."
Wei Xu tensed up as he looked at Mu Chenshuang's suddenly cold eyes. He now truly felt how terrifying this woman was. She could actually turn the tide in front of His Majesty and had escaped from Chengtianjian unscathed time and time again.
He knew exactly what the Imperial Observatory was, which was enough to prove Mu Chenshuang's abilities; there were probably very few people in the capital who could do that.
"If you are still hesitant and indecisive now, failing to see the situation clearly and giving up, then you will never have a chance to turn your life around."
Wei Xu lowered his eyes and clenched his fists.
After a while.
All I heard was his low, solemn voice saying, "I know I was wrong."
Mu Chenshuang stood up and turned to face him, "Come find me again when you've adjusted your mindset."
After Mu Chenshuang finished speaking, she walked into the house.
Wei Xu snapped out of his daze and quickly said, "I don't need any adjustments. I'm in great shape right now."
Mu Chenshuang stopped and said, "Then continue with the task I assigned to you earlier."
Wei Xu stood there watching Mu Chenshuang's departing figure, and he remained there in a daze.
At this moment.
"Your Highness."
Hearing the call, Wei Xu snapped out of his daze, turned around, and saw Honghua standing behind him.
"I wonder if the young master still remembers me. I used to serve the third young lady and have met the young master twice."
Wei Xu tried to recall carefully, but couldn't quite remember.
"Then why are you by Princess Weiyang's side now?"
Honghua replied, "What this servant wants to say is that the Third Miss is not as gentle and charming as you see her, Your Highness. All the obedience the Third Miss shows you in front of you is just an act. I was beaten by the Third Miss for accidentally spilling medicine. If it weren't for the Princess saving me, I would have been dead long ago. The Third Miss has framed the Princess many times, including when the Princess was still the Crown Princess. The rumors you heard about the Princess were deliberately spread by the Third Miss and the Madam."
Furthermore, the person the Third Miss admires is not you at all; she admires the Carefree Prince. In the Third Miss's eyes, your admiration, Prince, is merely to satisfy her vanity. In private, she often uses you as a topic of conversation among the other young ladies.
"I wonder if Your Highness still remembers three months ago, when the Third Miss's handkerchief fell into the river. Actually, she deliberately threw it in. In front of the other young ladies, she said that you were just her dog, doing whatever she was told. You disregarded your safety and jumped into the river to retrieve the handkerchief, only to be met with their laughter."
Wei Xu's eyes widened, filled with pain and shock. "What did you say?"
This caused him even more despair and pain than when Mu Yazhi deliberately framed him.
Honghua swore, "If even one word I have said is a lie to you, Your Highness, may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death."
