In the pitch-black night, Mu Chenshuang stood in the shadows, looking at Feng Mozhan, whose face was illuminated by the lamplight.
Could it be that the secret behind this jade pendant is truly so significant that Feng Mo Ran feels she will inevitably side with him because of it?
Before Mu Chenshuang could react, the effeminate Feng Moran left with a wicked smile, turned around, got into the carriage, and left.
"Shuang'er, go back." Lord Mu, who was standing in front, turned around and saw that Mu Chenshuang was still standing in the same place, so he reminded her like a loving father.
Seeing this, Lu Wei also quickly pretended to be concerned and urged him on.
Mu Chenshuang did not respond to her, but saw her trying to take Mu Houye's arm with a gentle smile, but Mu Houye subtly dodged her.
In the vast darkness of the night, a fleeting look of surprise crossed Lu Wei's face.
Following behind them, Mu Chenshuang slowly walked into the mansion. She understood that Lord Mu had almost confirmed Lu Wei's identity and was subconsciously distancing himself from her.
Lu Wei must be quite surprised right now, Mu Chenshuang thought to herself, wondering what she would do next.
Upon arriving at the Marquis's mansion, seeing Lu Wei and the others returning to their rooms, Mu Chenshuang stopped and called out to Marquis Mu.
“Father.” Mu Chenshuang’s voice was not loud, but its calmness and firmness were enough to make one’s heart tremble.
Lord Mu subconsciously turned around and saw her eyes, shining like starlight, staring at him in the darkness. He felt inexplicably guilty and guessed that Mu Chenshuang probably still wanted to ask him about Xie Changqing.
As expected, Mu Chenshuang walked calmly and composedly to him. "Father, have you made up your mind? Shouldn't you tell me about that matter?"
Lord Mu narrowed his eyes slightly, his memory uncontrollably recalling the events of that year. His thick, dark eyebrows furrowed even more, and his heart was filled with painful turmoil.
He looked at Mu Chenshuang in silence for a long time before finally speaking in a low voice, "Shuang'er, why do you keep pursuing this matter so relentlessly?"
He subconsciously wanted to persuade Mu Chenshuang to give up, but when he met her stubborn and determined eyes, he realized that Mu Chenshuang probably wouldn't give up until the truth of the matter was revealed.
After pondering for a long time, Lord Mu could only sigh deeply and lower his voice, saying, "Come with me."
Lord Mu flicked his sleeves, turned around, and strode into the house. Mu Chenshuang could feel the pressure around him suddenly drop, and his conflicted eyes were filled with pain and anger.
Mu Chenshuang quickly followed, and after entering the house, she closed the door tightly behind her.
Lord Mu stood facing the wall, his back to Mu Chenshuang, his hands clenching and unclenching several times inside his sleeves.
Mu Chenshuang could see the pain and struggle in Lord Mu's heart, so she didn't dare to urge him and could only wait quietly by his side.
As time ticked by, just when Mu Chenshuang felt that she was about to forget why she was standing there, Lord Mu turned around.
Mu Chenshuang felt a surge of joy, thinking she was finally about to get the answer she had been seeking, but then she heard Lord Mu speak, asking her in a voice that was trying hard to suppress anger and pain.
“Bringing this matter up now might bring great danger to the Marquis’s mansion, or even its annihilation. Even so, do you still want to find out what happened back then?”
Lord Mu spoke in a deep voice, each word striking a chord deep within Mu Chenshuang's heart.
For a moment, Mu Chenshuang did hesitate.
