Mu Chenshuang's fingers clenched unconsciously as she looked at Qi Ye, "Are you sure you didn't hear wrong, didn't see wrong?"
Qi Ye affirmed, "I absolutely heard right. Fu Junheng fought with him, so I chased after him to see what was going on. It was that masked man in black, but he left quickly without fighting Fu Junheng much. Before leaving, he said that he could take the person, but absolutely not the child."
As Mu Chenshuang listened, her face grew increasingly gloomy, and her eyes dimmed. "Are you sure that the man in black is the one who fought with you earlier?"
"His martial arts skills are comparable to Fu Junheng's. The aura and moves around him do look like those of the same person. But why hasn't he appeared for so long, and why did he suddenly come tonight and run into Fu Junheng?"
Seven Nights asked a question.
Mu Chenshuang looked somber.
Yes, it just so happens that we ran into each other.
So, was Fu Junheng really not the one who got her pregnant, or was everything last night just a show?
"Miss, would you like to confirm again?"
Mu Chenshuang slowly stood up, subconsciously placing her hand on her lower abdomen. Her face was stern, and her eyes were cold. "No need. Even if it's confirmed, it might not be true. Let's wait and see."
Qi Ye didn't ask any more questions.
"How's Wei Xu's training going lately?" Mu Chenshuang asked, changing the subject.
"It's just so-so, but I've been working much harder than at the beginning."
"Just be more patient in teaching him."
"I know."
After Honghua helped Mu Chenshuang wash up and get dressed, she had breakfast.
Linglong brought over some medicine to help prevent miscarriage.
Mu Chenshuang reached out and took the medicine, then tilted her head back and drank it all in one gulp.
Afterwards, Mu Chenshuang summoned the steward of the manor to inquire about the situation in the backyard.
The steward replied, "The only problem is that the third young lady kept insisting on going out, but she was stopped. Otherwise, there's nothing unusual about her."
"From today onwards, if Mu Yazhi wants to go out, let her go."
Keeping them locked up won't stop their desire for revenge; it's better to just let them out and see what they want to do.
"yes."
When Linglong and the red flower plate were delivered to the kitchen, there was only one maid working there. Now, the kitchen has two maids: Qiuyun and Qingkui.
"Qiuyun, where's Qingkui?" Linglong asked.
Qiu Yun was washing the rag when she replied, "Qing Kui said she has some diarrhea today and is in the outhouse right now. She'll be back in a bit."
"What did you eat? Why did you suddenly have diarrhea?" Honghua asked, puzzled.
"have no idea."
"Qiuyun, come over here first and have breakfast before you get busy."
"good."
Qingkui appeared only after Honghua and Linglong had left.
Seeing that the lower half of her skirt was soaked, Qiu Yun hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Qing Kui, what happened to you?"
Qingkui explained, "It's nothing. I just accidentally got some dirt on my skirt, so I went to the river to wash it. I accidentally fell in, but luckily the water is shallow, so I'm fine. I'll go change my clothes first."
After these few days of investigation, she realized that Qiu Yun was just a servant who only knew how to do chores, so she wasn't worried that Qiu Yun would suspect anything.
Qiu Yun didn't think much of it and said to her with concern, "Then you should go and change your clothes quickly, so you don't catch a cold."
"kindness!"
Qingkui returned to her room and busily took out the medicinal herbs she had picked up from her pocket, wrapped them in a strip of cloth, and put them in.
She had just followed Linglong to the back door. Linglong always handled the leftover dregs from brewing medicine very carefully, so there must be something wrong with this medicine.
So, taking advantage of the guards' inattention at the back gate, he climbed over the wall and went to the shore, where he saw the dregs of medicine that had not yet been washed away.
Now she has to find a way to get the dregs out so that someone can see what's wrong with them.
It was evening.
Shen Nanzhi arrived at the Marquis's residence.
When Mu Chenshuang saw him again, she didn't know how to face him, but there were some things she needed to make clear to him.
"Shuang'er, come back."
Mu Chenshuang hummed in agreement. "What brings you here at this hour?"
