At this moment, Lu Wei was actually feeling anxious and confused. Only then did she realize that Mu Yazhi, whom she had spoiled so much, could not help her with anything except dealing with Mu Chenshuang together.
Fortunately, her eldest daughter, Mu Chunxi, returned to her side at this time, and she thought that at least she would have someone to talk to.
After the two entered the house and sat down, Mu Chunxi noticed that Lu Wei looked hesitant and seemed to want to speak but stopped several times, appearing quite troubled. So, she took the initiative to ask, "Mother, what is it?"
Mu Chunxi suddenly thought of the suspicious maid who had appeared in the mansion before. Although the maid was no longer alive, the suspicion in her heart at that time still remained.
"Mother, is someone secretly watching you? Or is someone ordering you to do things for them?" Mu Chunxi clearly remembered that after the maid who seemed to be monitoring Lu Wei died, Lu Wei felt happy and relaxed for a long time.
Mu Chunxi's blunt words startled Lu Wei, who looked up at Mu Chunxi in disbelief.
Lu Wei's expression was complicated. She didn't know whether she should be happy for her daughter's intelligence or sad for being secretly manipulated and discovered.
After a long while, Lu Wei sighed deeply again. She thought that at this point, there was no use in continuing to hide it. Her most important task now was to find a way to protect the Marquis's mansion and Marquis Mu.
Thinking of this, Lu Wei nodded, "Indeed..."
"What?" This time it was Mu Chunxi's turn to be shocked. She really didn't expect that her guess was true.
Mu Chunxi was stunned for a long time before asking in an almost incredulous voice, "Who is it? What exactly happened?"
Lu Wei opened her mouth, then hesitated, unsure whether she should speak or not.
While she was still struggling internally, Mu Chunxi couldn't help but urge her, "Mother, what time is it now? If you keep this a secret, what if something really happens to the Marquis's mansion because of this?"
These words made Lu Wei's heart tremble. If something happened to the Marquis's mansion, the first person to be affected would naturally be Marquis Mu. She would never allow such a thing to happen.
Thinking about this, Lu Wei became excited.
She finally decided to tell the truth, "No...that's right...it's true."
While Lu Wei hesitated, Mu Chunxi understood that Lu Wei had been hiding something very important from all of them, including Lord Mu, something that could even overturn the relationship between Lu Wei and Lord Mu.
Mu Chunxi frowned as she looked at her. Seeing that Lu Wei had finally agreed to speak, she could only wait quietly for her to continue.
"Your mother was originally a pawn under the Chengtianjian. It was that official's idea to have me supervise Lord Mu, which is why I ended up by his side."
Lu Wei knew, of course, that the Chengtianjian was nothing more than a pawn in the emperor's hands, but she didn't say it directly, believing that Mu Chunxi would understand.
"It's just a pity that I never expected that I would actually fall in love with your father and give birth to you." As Lu Wei spoke, she suddenly covered her face and cried. It was unclear whether she regretted falling in love with Lord Mu or regretted being a member of the Chengtianjian.
Seeing Lu Wei like this, Mu Chunxi was shocked. Suddenly, she felt a sense of sympathy for her kind and a feeling of resentment rose from the bottom of her heart. She had also given her heart to Fu Junheng, but what was the result?
