Mu Chunxi quickly calmed down and subtly withdrew her gaze.
Although she quickly composed herself, Qi Ye still keenly noticed her reaction; her eyes clearly indicated that she recognized him.
Mu Chunxi led Lu Wei and Mu Yazhi to Mu Chenshuang.
The mother and daughter sincerely admitted their mistakes to Mu Chenshuang, unlike their previous hypocritical attitude, and seemed to genuinely want to change their ways.
Since Mu Chenshuang had promised Mu Chunxi, she naturally wouldn't make things difficult for them.
Mu Chunxi handed the written guarantee with her fingerprint on it to Mu Chenshuang.
“Since Aunt Lu has genuinely repented and Chunxi has made a guarantee, I can let bygones be bygones. I hope Aunt Lu remembers what you said today. If you do it again, I will not show any mercy next time.”
Lu Wei said sincerely, "I have come to Shuang'er today to express my sincerity. I will never do those foolish things again. I also sincerely hope that there can be harmony in the Marquis's mansion and that the dignity and status of the Marquis's mansion can be maintained."
"Then I hope Aunt Lu will keep her word."
Mu Chenshuang did not keep the group any longer, and the three of them then took their leave.
After the three left, Qi Ye came in. "Does Miss really believe they have reformed?"
Mu Chenshuang folded the guarantee in her hand and put it into the envelope. "It's easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one's nature. This is just a temporary compromise after weighing the pros and cons."
Believing Lu Wei's nonsense would be foolish.
Qi Ye was puzzled. "Then, Miss, you still say you forgive them. Shouldn't you take this opportunity to tell your father about what she did before? Isn't this the best time to expel her from the Marquis's mansion? Keeping her around would only cause trouble."
Mu Chenshuang explained, "Even if my father knew what she had done, he might not necessarily kick her out of the Marquis's mansion."
"Why?"
“Lu Wei has another son who didn’t come back with her. He should be in the military camp. Besides Mu Yazhi, Mu Tianchi and Mu Chunxi are absolutely outstanding talents. Mu Tianchi is a rare military talent, and Mu Chunxi is both literate and martial, and very learned. Lu Wei has them under her wing, which is her greatest asset in front of my father.”
Even if Lord Mu doted on her, how could he possibly rival Lu Yuwen's soft fragrance?
Qi Ye's eyes darkened as he realized what was happening.
"Then what do you plan to do next, Miss? If Lu Weiruo continues to stay in the Marquis's mansion, the mansion will probably suffer sooner or later."
"Only my father can realize it himself."
We need to gradually destroy Lu Wei's position in Lord Mu's heart, give the emperor a reason to punish her, and prevent the emperor from suspecting the Marquis's mansion.
Therefore, dealing with Lu Wei is not an easy task.
Qi Ye understood what she meant. "By the way, that woman named Mu Chunxi seemed very shocked to see me here, as if she recognized me."
Mu Chenshuang was taken aback and looked up at Qi Ye. "Are you sure you know Mu Chunxi?"
"Although she tried to cover it up quickly, I still noticed it, and I'm absolutely sure of it," Qi Ye said with certainty.
Mu Chenshuang lowered her eyes, her delicate brows furrowed in deep thought.
"Mu Chunxi has been away for so many years. Whether she really followed her master to study or did something else, only she herself knows. In any case, she is someone who should not be underestimated. We must be more careful in the future and be on high alert."
"Miss said she is skilled in both literature and martial arts. Does Miss think she can surpass you in both aspects?" Qi Ye asked curiously.
Mu Chenshuang raised her eyes to look into the distance and said calmly, "We'll find out later."
It was only a matter of time before she and Mu Chunxi clashed.
