Mu Chenshuang was taken aback and looked at him in surprise.
Fu Junheng explained, "We can't stay at home all day. Going out for a walk is good for our health."
Mu Chenshuang stared at him intently, "You really aren't afraid of attracting attention."
Fu Junheng chuckled softly, "What's the big deal? Besides, what kind of relationship do we have now? Why would we be afraid of people finding out?"
Mu Chenshuang glanced coldly at the man, "I have nothing to do with you."
Fu Junheng just smiled and didn't say anything more.
Linglong helped Mu Chenshuang wash and dress.
"Miss, which hairpin would you like to choose today?" Linglong asked.
Mu Chenshuang hesitated for a moment, then put on a rather simple hairpin, a simple light green embroidered ruqun, and a jade hairpin, simple yet elegant.
After Linglong helped her put the hairpin on, she lowered her voice and asked in a puzzled tone, "Miss, are you going out with Crown Prince Junheng today?"
Crown Prince Junheng stood guard outside the door, clearly waiting for his young lady, and also because the young lady's outfit today was suitable for going out and having fun.
"I'm not at home, so please be careful."
Mu Chenshuang did not give Linglong a definite answer. Even if she tacitly agreed with her words, it was still too difficult for her to say them out loud.
Linglong said "Oh," and then said, "Yesterday, Crown Prince Junheng suddenly asked me last night if there was anything unusual about my residence, and also asked me who had left the residence recently?"
Mu Chenshuang paused, her hand holding the wooden comb. "What did you say?"
"There's nothing unusual about the household lately, except that Qingkui went out to buy salt and came back quickly that day, and there was nothing abnormal about it."
Mu Chenshuang lowered her eyes slightly, her gaze dark and unfathomable.
"Go and call Qiye here."
Linglong was puzzled, but didn't ask any further questions. She then turned around and left, eventually finding Qiye.
When Qi Ye arrived at Mu Chen Shuang's bedroom door, he felt a chilling coldness on his back as he was about to enter. However, he ignored it and went straight in.
When Qi Ye came out again, Mu Chen Shuang also left the room.
The man waiting outside the door couldn't hide his amazement when he saw the woman in front of him, and a smile involuntarily curved his thin lips.
Fu Junheng looked at her, stepped forward, and said in an admiring tone, "Shuang'er, you look beautiful no matter how you dress up."
Mu Chenshuang glanced at him dismissively.
Fu Junheng slowly raised his hand to signal, "Let's go!"
Mu Chenshuang ignored him and walked forward, disregarding his raised hand gesture.
Fu Junheng smiled helplessly, withdrew his hand, and turned to follow.
“Even if they are your subordinates, it would be inappropriate for them to freely enter and leave your boudoir,” Fu Junheng suddenly said.
Mu Chenshuang scoffed, "As if you and him aren't the same kind of people?"
“I am naturally not the same kind of person as him.”
Mu Chenshuang glanced at him. "Different genders?"
Fu Junheng: "..."
Although he knew very well that Qi Ye was now her servant and subordinate, he was extremely unhappy to see him entering and leaving her room so freely and dining at the same table with her.
But for now, he could only suppress his anger.
Mu Chenshuang still chose to leave through the back gate of the Marquis's residence.
The moment she stepped out the door, a large hand grasped hers. "What, are you afraid of being discovered?"
Mu Chenshuang glared at him and said irritably, "I'm not as shameless as you."
She tried to pull her hand back, but Fu Junheng held it tightly. She heard him chuckle softly, "That's true. If Shuang'er wants to have a secret affair with me, I don't mind. So don't worry, no one will find out today."
Mu Chenshuang suddenly raised her eyes, her brows furrowed, and said angrily, "Who's having an affair with you?"
Fu Junheng simply smiled, a gentle smile always playing on his lips. "Let's go!"
Mu Chenshuang could only let her hold her hand as they strolled along the stone-paved street beside the river. Because it wasn't the main street, there were relatively few pedestrians on the road.
"Who was it last night?" Mu Chenshuang suddenly asked.
Fu Junheng replied, "Assassin."
Mu Chenshuang's eyes darkened. So the Dark Night Assassins had already found the Marquis's residence. She was already in danger, and now an assassin organization had come. It was all this man's fault. Thinking of this, she felt very uncomfortable.
"It's all your fault."
Fu Junheng turned around and saw her angry expression, then suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Mu Chenshuang was taken aback.
The man stood before her, raised his hand, and gently stroked the woman's cheek with his fingers, soothing her with a soft voice, "I told you, I would protect you."
For some reason, upon hearing his voice and seeing his deep gaze, her anger inexplicably dissipated.
Mu Chenshuang turned her gaze away, concealing the emotion in her eyes, and said in an annoyed tone, "Stop with the sweet talk, I'm not buying it."
