"Daughter, are you alright?" Chen Shuheng asked softly. If he didn't know Mo Wanxin's whereabouts, he wouldn't have sided with Mo Shangqiu today. He didn't have much affection for this daughter of his. He just wanted to find Mo Wanxin. That was why she had to pretend to be caring.
"I'm fine." Mo Shangqiu said that she was fine, but she was already cursing in her heart. If you have nothing to do, you should try being slapped by someone to see if you're okay. Her face was burning. How could he be fine?
"It's good that you're fine. Father will arrange for you to rest now.”The worry in Chen Shu Heng's eyes disappeared, and his expression returned to normal.
Mo Shangqiu remained silent and nodded her head. She had to apply some medicine. Otherwise, her face would turn into a steamed bun tomorrow. If that happened, she wouldn't even be as beautiful as a flower.
"Men, clean up Qiuxin Courtyard and let the young miss stay there.”Chen Shu Heng had a trace of dignity compared to usual. It was no wonder that he was the Duke now, and there were still a few people in the court who did not curry favor with him.
"Yes." The maidservant left and called the servants to disturb the courtyard. After two hours, someone came to invite Mo Shangqiu over, saying that it had been tidied up.
Mo Shangqiu also put on the airs of a young miss, as proud as a little peacock. Mo Shangqiu walked into the courtyard and saw a large patch of green bamboo. There wasn't even half a pot of flowers.
It was no wonder that her mother had been gone for more than ten years. There was no scenery in this courtyard. It was already not bad to have a piece of bamboo.
If it weren't for the fact that the green bamboo was useful, Liu Ruoruo would have asked someone to cut it down and leave it in the courtyard.
On the way, she heard a maid beside her tell Mo Shangqiu that this was the place where her mother used to live.
Although there was no beautiful scenery in the courtyard, it was very quiet. That was enough. She liked living in such an environment.
Mo Shangqiu stepped into the room. It wasn't too small. There was a big bed, a table, and a few chairs. There was also a dressing table. It could not be any simpler. There were no extra decorations. Compared to Chen Fuxi's room, it was like heaven and earth.
As expected, she was an empty title that came out of nowhere.
Mo Shangqiu dismissed all the maids and lay quietly on the chaise longue. This chair was Mo Wanxin's favorite chair back then. Chen Shuheng secretly hid it, so I ordered someone to take it out.
" Dong dong…" The sound of knocking on the door interrupted the silence. Mo Shangqiu got up and opened the door. He saw two maids standing outside. They were pretty and must be the good-looking maids in the residence.
"Young miss, we were sent by master to serve young miss.”The two maids bowed to Mo Shangqiu and reported the truth.
"Yes." Mo Shangqiu responded indifferently. Did she think she was an idiot? The two maidservants walked with light steps. One could tell at a glance that they were people with a foundation in martial arts. It was obvious that they were sent to monitor her.
"What are your names?" He asked casually, but he was actually sizing them up carefully.
"This servant is called Shuang 'er, Yue' er." The two maids answered respectfully.
"Miss, what instructions do you have? If not, we will leave now.”The maid called Shuang 'er asked Mo Shangqiu.
It was obvious that Shuang 'er was much smarter than Yue' er and liked to make decisions on her own. Such people often died quickly.
"You may leave." Mo Shangqiu waved her hand, looking exhausted.
After the two maids left, Mo Shangqiu lay back on the chair and sank into her memories. God was really joking with her, letting her meet someone who looked exactly like Fan Xiaoxi.
Was she trying to make her remember what she had done in her previous life and start all over again in this life? It was not that enemies did not meet. It seemed that he could not avoid conflict with her in the future.
"Miss." Liu Yun stood behind the woman and stared at the woman in the bronze mirror with a burning gaze.
The woman sat in front of the dressing table, holding a sandalwood comb as she elegantly combed her three thousand ink-black hair. She was half lazy and half charming. It was very tempting. Liu Yun did not hide his adoring gaze at all.
The woman raised her head slightly and looked at the man behind her through the mirror. She lowered her head and combed her hair as she asked coldly. "What did you see?"
Liu Yun pursed his lips as a trace of sadness flashed across his eyes. " She only cares about her cousin." He was assassinated and was later saved by two women.”
The woman ignored the sadness in Liu Yun's eyes. Other than her cousin, she did not care about anyone else. "A woman." A trace of doubt flashed across his eyes. Was it someone he just met or someone he knew a long time ago?
"Yes, he was rescued. I came back and seemed to be injured.”Liu Yun did not dare to get too close to them, afraid that Ye Wushang would discover that he was following him.
"Injured." The woman's hand trembled and she put down the wooden comb. He stood up and faced Liu Yun. It was obvious that his tone had become much heavier when he said the word 'injury'.
"Yes." Liu Yun lowered his head and did not hide the truth.
"Who told you to come back? I told you to keep an eye on him. He also asked you to protect him." The woman's face was full of anger. Her hands under her sleeves were clenched into fists, and her fingertips were white. It seemed like she was very angry at Liu Yun's actions.
Liu Yun didn't answer and continued to bury his head. His eyes were full of hurt. Ye Wushang didn't need his protection. He did not have the ability to protect him.
"You can go now. Don't come to see me for a month.”The woman regained her consciousness, but her expression did not improve.
Liu Yun was stunned. He hadn't seen her for a month. For Ye Wushang's sake, she actually told him not to see her. It seemed that he really overestimated his position in her heart. A bitter smile suffused Liu Yun's lips as he turned around and left the room. He disappeared from the courtyard.
This woman's name was Liu Yunqi, Ye Wushang's cousin. His mother's niece, after his mother married his father. After gaining some influence in the residence, Liu Yunqi moved into the residence. Therefore, Ye Wushang and her could be said to be childhood sweethearts. They had played together since they were young. As he grew older, Ye Wushang became more and more distant from Liu Yunqi. Because Ye Wushang knew that this was all arranged by his mother, a trap prepared for him.
Liu Yunqi watched Liu Yun leave and began to plan how Ye Wushang would keep him when he returned. Liu Yun was someone Liu Yunqi had saved from the roadside a few years ago. In order to repay her for saving his life, Liu Yun chose to stay by her side to protect her.
However, as time passed, the nature of the matter changed. Liu Yun was no longer focused on protecting her. She even instructed Liu Yun to monitor Ye Wushang, but Liu Yun did not want to. Unexpectedly, Liu Yunqi threatened him with saving him. Liu Yun was not a bad person by nature, so he had no choice but to help her keep an eye on Ye Wushang.
An hour after Ye Wushang left Mo Shangqiu's carriage, he returned to the Ye Residence and returned to the study to deal with the assassination. Therefore, not many people knew that he had returned to the residence.
"Lengyue, did anything strange happen when I left?”Ye Wushang stood in the study with a solemn expression. Who was the one who betrayed his whereabouts this time?
Leng Yue stood at the bottom, frowning and thinking carefully before saying. "No, I haven't." He didn't know why his master suddenly asked him such a strange question.
Ye Wushang's cold aura leaked out. If he had not met Mo Shangqiu this time, he and Hongye would have died on the way to Lanyue. This person could not be underestimated. He had to be found out.
Ye Wushang then told Leng Yue everything about his assassination attempt. Leng Yue's expression turned uglier as she listened. In the end, she stood there with a dark face.
There were three major powers in Xuan Lin Nation. One was naturally the royal family's old emperor, and the other was the Dark Night Hall. The Hall Master of the Dark Night Hall was from the North Sea Divine Palace. The power behind him was so great that you couldn't pry into it. The third force was the Cold Jade Palace that Ye Wushang's master was in charge of.
Most of the disciples in the Cold Jade Palace were female. Ye Wushang was also a man who was rescued by his master in the snow and accepted as a disciple. The number of men in the Cold Jade Palace could be counted on one hand. His master, Ye Wushang, and Leng Yue.
Ye Wushang was now the Young Palace Master of the Cold Jade Palace, and Ye Wushang's mother didn't know anything about this. Ye Wushang still had an elder brother in the Ye residence, and his mother had been very biased towards his elder brother since he was young. He was so biased that Ye Wushang even suspected if he was his mother's biological son.
"Lengyue, go and find out who leaked the secret.”Ye Wushang turned around and looked at Leng Yue. He did not hide the killing intent on his face.
"Yes." Leng Yue nodded. She knew the importance of this matter.
"Young Master, there are two girls outside the door who say they are looking for you.”A maid's voice interrupted their conversation.
"Got it. You may leave." Ye Wushang and Leng Yue looked at each other and both had an answer in their hearts.
"Take Hongye back to the palace to rest for a few days. This time, her injuries are not light.”Ye Wushang said to Leng Yue seriously. This time, both of them almost lost their lives. He had to reorganize his forces.
"I understand." Leng Yue's voice softened. He and Hong Ye grew up together and learned martial arts together. He had long since treated Hong Ye as his biological sister.
Ye Wushang walked out of the study and headed towards the manor door. From afar, he saw Hongye and Mu Chuxue standing under the scorching sun. A trace of guilt flashed through her heart, and an unprecedented gentleness appeared on her face.
"Master." Hong Ye lowered her head, feeling even more guilty. This time, she did not protect her master well and caused him to be injured. He did not fulfill his duty as a subordinate.
"En, you can go back with Lengyue." Ye Wushang replied to Hong Ye calmly. There were some things he did not tell Hong Ye. Hong Ye would understand.
Hong Ye was stunned. Leng Yue had left the palace. It seemed that there must be someone behind this incident. Silent Red Leaf tacitly agreed to Ye Wushang's decision. He turned around and said to Mu Chuxue," Thank you for saving my life, Miss Mu. Hongye will leave first."”
Mu Chuxue nodded. This was not what she cared about. She was more concerned about where Mo Shangqiu had gone. Ye Wushang was back, so was she not back yet?
Ye Wushang saw through Mu Chuxue's worries and told her softly. "Miss Mo said that she has something important to do and asked you to stay in my residence for a few days. I'll pick you up in a few days."
"Oh, thank you for taking in Chuxue.”Mu Chuxue smiled and looked at Ye Wushang. Since Sister Mo had given her instructions, she was not afraid that she would abandon her.
"Young Lady's residence, please." Ye Wushang didn't stay any longer. It wasn't a good choice to discuss things under such a scorching sun.
Mu Chuxue followed Ye Wushang into the Ye residence, and Ye Wushang put her in the guest room in the west wing. He ordered the maid to serve Mu Chuxue well and would not forgive her if anything happened. Ye Wushang left the residence after he finished giving instructions.
"What's your name?" Mu Chuxue looked at the maid who was much smaller than her and asked casually.
