Qi Ye received the order and loosened his grip.
Wei Xu was already being dragged along, and when Qi Ye let go, he lost his balance and fell to the ground. The impact of the cold, hard ground on his body made him grit his teeth and furrow his brows in pain.
When he came to his senses, he looked up and saw that Mu Chenshuang had already walked up to him, her eyes cold and looking down at him.
This sense of oppression filled Wei Xu with fear, but even more so with an indescribable sense of awe.
What did you see?
Wei Xu opened his eyes wide, blinked sharply to come to his senses, and stood up, supporting himself with one hand.
“I saw it, but… but if you apologize to Ya’er, I’ll tell you.”
He spoke with considerable lack of confidence, his eyes darting away, unable to meet Mu Chenshuang's gaze.
Mu Chenshuang stared at him coldly, "You're not worthy to negotiate with me."
This imposing aura left Wei Xu speechless for a moment.
"Do you really think Mu Yazhi would like a useless and worthless prince like you?"
These words were like a sharp sword piercing his heart, a stinging pain shooting through him, and the bloody truth flashed through his mind.
But he didn't want to admit it.
"What do you mean?"
"You're being used like a fool without even realizing it; you're truly beyond help."
Mu Chenshuang turned away indifferently.
"Seven Nights, send him out. If you see him barging in again, break his legs."
There was absolutely no joking in it.
Wei Xu suddenly felt guilty, and more than anything, he was afraid.
In a fleeting moment, he thought that if he were driven away and gave up this opportunity, he would truly become a worthless person who would be belittled and ridiculed for the rest of his life.
He hurriedly said, "Mu Chenshuang, please explain yourself clearly. You said you would give me the opportunity to become your disciple."
At that moment, he completely forgot why he had been instigated to come here.
Mu Chenshuang stared at him with icy eyes, "I told you you only had one chance, but you squandered that one chance on your own."
Wei Xu stared intently at Mu Chenshuang, his fists clenched tightly at his sides.
He gritted his teeth silently, "I was reckless today, but I will come again."
After Wei Xu finished speaking, he turned and ran away, as if some prehistoric beast was behind him.
"Miss, why do you want to take him as your disciple? Wasn't it all his fault that Linglong was involved last time?" Qi Ye asked in surprise.
"He was just being used."
As for wanting to help Wei Xu, it was merely an attempt to influence the Wei Prince's residence. She felt somewhat guilty after reprimanding the Prince that day, as she could see that Wei Xu was not incorrigible, but rather had been misled.
Now that Lu Wei is in control of the Marquis's mansion, she is still unclear about what Lu Wei is doing in private under the name of the Marquis's mansion, and what kind of business she is with whom. Therefore, she needs connections to make plans for herself and the Marquis's mansion. Although the Prince of Wei's mansion has long been deserted, its status is still there.
Knowing that Wei Xu had fled the Marquis's residence as if running away, Mu Yazhi was so angry that she smashed the cup she was holding and cursed with contempt, "What a piece of trash."
The cup she smashed landed squarely on the head of the maid who brought in the medicine.
The maid was hit and lost her balance, falling to the ground and spilling medicine all over the floor.
Seeing this, Mu Yazhi was so angry that she kicked him and said in a fit of rage, "You're a good-for-nothing too. You can't even serve the medicine properly. If my face doesn't get better, I'll skin you alive."
The maid was so frightened that she kowtowed and begged for mercy. She hurriedly cleaned up the floor and went to brew the medicine again.
The maids serving Mu Yazhi are now trembling with fear, afraid that if they are not careful, they will be used as a punching bag by the Third Miss.
They secretly envied Honghua for turning misfortune into good fortune. They always saw Linglong looking radiant. Although they were both personal maids, Linglong was dressed much better than them. Now that Honghua was with the princess, she didn't have to suffer this humiliation anymore.
Mu Yazhi was so angry that she couldn't sit still and went to the main courtyard to find her mother.
Mu Yazhi watched as her mother busied herself preparing New Year's gifts to be sent to the palace on New Year's Eve.
She couldn't help but complain to Lu Wei a few times.
Lu Wei comforted him, "You should rest well at home tomorrow. Mu Chenshuang and I will go to the palace to offer our congratulations."
Mu Yazhi was extremely unhappy. In previous years, she and her mother would go to the palace together. But now that Mu Chenshuang had returned, she had gotten all the benefits.
"Since General Shen returned, she's become even more smug," Mu Yazhi said sarcastically.
"This time, Mother will let her go cleanly, but she may not be able to come back unscathed."
Mu Yazhi was taken aback. "Mother, what idea have you come up with this time? Is it really going to work this time?"
Having failed to bring Mu Chenshuang down from her horse several times before, she couldn't help but feel worried.
Lu smiled sinisterly, "This time she can't escape."
The next day.
The weather was exceptionally good; the morning sun illuminated the sky and warmed the earth.
Today, all the noble families and royal households need to prepare gifts to go to the palace to offer New Year greetings.
Mu Chenshuang got up early to wash and get ready, because she needed to dress more elegantly and dignifiedly for the occasion of her visit to the palace to offer congratulations.
Dressed in light purple brocade and silk, she was elegant and graceful. A few strands of her waist-length hair were piled up and adorned with hairpins, making her captivatingly beautiful. Her eyes and brows exuded a cool and noble air.
Linglong helped Mu Chenshuang with her hair and makeup. Even though she was used to seeing her mistress's beauty, she was still speechless with amazement every time.
She couldn't help but ask herself, who could possibly be worthy of the young lady's beauty? The image of Fu Junheng flashed through her mind.
But thinking of this, Linglong quickly stopped herself. She used to think that Crown Prince Junheng and Miss were a good match, but now that General Shen has returned, she still hopes that Miss and General Shen can rekindle their romance.
After Mu Chenshuang finished packing, she and Lu Wei went to the palace together.
We arrived at the palace gate.
As soon as Mu Chenshuang stepped off the carriage, a voice called out from behind, "Shuang'er."
Mu Chenshuang turned around at the sound, her eyes sparkling with beauty. The sunlight illuminated her stunningly beautiful face, making her dazzling and captivating.
It was her casual glance back that made Shen Nanzhi, who had walked up to her, freeze in place, his heart rippled with emotion, and his eyes could not hide his feelings.
"What's wrong?"
A faint smile played on her lips, making her appear even more gentle and charming, like a ray of sunshine in winter, warm and captivating.
She turned and smiled, her gentleness and tender gaze falling into a pair of deep, knowing eyes not far away.
It turns out she can also take off her aloof and arrogant mask, but only when she's with her former lover.
A moment.
His body temperature had dropped to freezing.
