Xiujuan looked at Mufengqie seriously and said, "Princess, this face of mine is given by you. You helped me when I was in trouble. Now that you're in trouble, how could I stand by and do nothing?"
Mufengqie looked at Xiujuan's serious expression and didn't know what to say.
"I saved you not because I hoped you would do something for me. I just hoped you could live your own life well."
Xiujuan looked at Mufengqie with an unwilling look on her face. "But in this situation, no one is more suitable than me. Besides, no one in the capital has seen this face of mine.
It will be safer for me to go, and no one will suspect me."
Xiujuan had already thought out the plan. Whether Mufengqie agreed or not, she would go.
"I won't agree to this. If you insist on doing so, then let's just pretend we've never met."
Mufengqie said expressionlessly. She thought that by saying this, Xiujuan would give up the idea in her mind.
But unexpectedly, Xiujuan just gave her a deep look and then went back to pack her luggage and prepare to leave.
"You'd better think it over. Once you go, it's very likely a dead - end with no way back."
Mufengqie looked at Xiujuan who was about to leave and tried to dissuade her.
Xiujuan was silent for a moment after hearing Mufengqie's words. "I know, but this is my own choice."
When she was disfigured before, she lived a muddled life. But now it's different. She not only has her own appearance but also knows what her future life will be like.
Even if there is an abyss ahead, she will spare no expense.
Mufengqie looked at Xiujuan who was about to leave the mansion and stopped her. "Even if you want to go, you should at least get your face treated. You'll ruin my reputation like this."
Xiujuan's body froze for a moment, then she turned around and looked at Mufengqie with a smile.
"Thank you, Princess, for your approval."
Mufengqie sighed. They were all so stubborn. Even if she stopped Xiujuan today, she would run away when she was not paying attention another day. It was safer to keep her under her nose.
Mufengqie glanced at Xiujuan without saying a word, snorted and left. But Xiujuan didn't take Mufengqie's coldness to heart at all. She knew Mufengqie was worried about her and was thinking about her.
On the other hand, the third young master didn't break off relations with the Jiang family as Mufengqie had said. Instead, the two families had closer business contacts. But these were just the Jiang family's public businesses, which were completely fine.
It would probably take some time to get in touch with their underground business. But he had plenty of time. He was just afraid that the Jiang family would notice.
Damn it! This Miss Jiang San didn't die earlier or later, but was killed just at this moment.
He had thought this kind of woman was very capable, but unexpectedly she was calculated and died.
The third young master stood in the study with a deep look in his eyes, looking at the view outside the window. Memories of the scene when he met Zhu Fei came to his mind, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up.
But when he thought that she already had someone she liked, the smile on his lips turned bitter.
After all, they were destined to have no happy ending. He would silently bless them from behind.
He'd better not let her know his feelings, so as not to trouble her.
Mufengqie had been very busy these days. She was busy treating Xiujuan's face, treating the old lady Jiang's illness, and dealing with the people from the palace.
These days, he didn't know what had gotten into Concubine Hua. She asked Mufengqie to enter the palace every day, saying that she knew her past mistakes and wanted to make up for them.
It sounded nice, but Mufengqie didn't believe a word Concubine Hua said. But she didn't refuse and agreed to enter the palace to have a look.
"Master, why do we still have to go to the palace? That Concubine Hua clearly has ill intentions. What if she causes trouble for you?"
Zhu Fei looked at Mufengqie with a worried look on her face. She didn't agree with Mufengqie's idea. It was better to go to the palace less.
Mufengqie knew what Zhu Fei was worried about. Looking at her, she said, "It's exactly because she has ill intentions that I have to go. If I don't go, how will I know what she's up to?"
Zhu Fei opened her mouth, still wanting to persuade her. But after seeing Mufengqie's unrefusable look in her eyes, she silently closed her mouth. Forget it. She would be there no matter what happened and would surely bring her master back safely.
After Mufengqie and Zhu Fei came to the palace gate, they saw the maid who had been waiting there early. After seeing Mufengqie's carriage, the maid immediately welcomed them.
"This servant pays respects to Princess Tianlin. May the Princess be in good health."
"Get up. Are you from Concubine Hua?" Mufengqie looked at the maid and asked in a deep voice.
The maid nodded and then said, "The imperial concubine sent this servant here to pick up the Princess and enter the palace."
Mufengqie's eyes changed. Concubine Hua had never been so polite to her before. What was going on now? Had something hit her in the head?
Mufengqie got off the carriage and was supported by Zhu Fei as she walked slowly. Mufengqie asked imperceptibly, "Has your imperial concubine been injured recently?" Especially on her head.
But Mufengqie didn't say the last sentence out loud. She just added it in her mind.
The maid's answer disappointed Mufengqie. "Reporting to the Princess, our imperial concubine has not been injured." The maid looked at Mufengqie doubtfully. Was this the common problem of doctors?
Would they ask everyone if they were sick? The maid thought she had found the truth.
After hearing the maid's words, Mufengqie fell into deep thought. Since she wasn't injured, what did she want her to enter the palace for? She didn't think their relationship was that good.
Just as Mufengqie was thinking, Zhu Fei reminded her, "Master, we're here."
Mufengqie looked up at Concubine Hua's palace and stepped in.
Mufengqie was a little surprised to see the palace, which was completely different from before. But soon she regained her expressionless look.
These had nothing to do with her.
"Your Highness, Princess Tianlin is here." The maid went over and knocked on the door, but there was no immediate response.
Mufengqie looked at the maid doubtfully. Usually, when someone came, didn't they go in to report? Why didn't she go in?
"Why don't you go in and tell your imperial concubine? Wouldn't it be faster?" Mufengqie looked at the maid and asked doubtfully.
"Reporting to the Princess, the imperial concubine has not allowed us to enter the inner palace for a few days. Even the maids who clean are not allowed to enter."
After hearing the maid's words, Mufengqie felt something strange. What on earth had happened that made her not see anyone?
Fortunately, Concubine Hua didn't keep Mufengqie waiting for long. Soon she opened the door.
