Chapter 319 is ultimately a problem!
Mu Xin Nuan soon noticed that there were new people in Mu Xin Yao's courtyard. Although they were called new people, they were just people transferred from elsewhere.
At this moment, a servant was transferred to her side, and Mu Xin Nuan's eyes suddenly darkened.
“Miss, that person was transferred there the day after the Second Miss returned to the mansion. It seems that the head maid of the laundry room reported to the Madam.”
"Someone, find a pretext to send that servant away." Mu Xin Nuan's voice was devoid of any warmth, which made everyone take notice and become serious.
"Miss, why is this?" Rongyue asked, puzzled.
"How long has it been since Mu Xinyao's accident? How could any young woman, after experiencing something like that, possibly have the mood to hire more servants?"
"Miss suspects she's one of the Ming King's people?" Chunyu was the first to react.
"It's not a doubt. It's a certainty."
"Don't worry, Miss. I'll take care of it right away. It's just a matter of sending away a servant; it's a piece of cake."
Mu Xin Nuan did not feel any relief. She whispered a few more instructions to Mu Hua, her expression becoming even more serious.
As she expected, Mu Hua finally returned in the evening.
“Miss, that little girl is indeed one of Ming Wang’s people. She has been taken away by Ming Wang’s men, but they have too many men, and each of them is highly skilled in martial arts. I didn’t dare to follow them too closely, so I lost them later.”
Mu Hua's tone was filled with self-reproach.
"It's alright. All I wanted was to confirm that she was Ming Wang's mole. I didn't intend to investigate anything further. We can't easily touch Ming Wang's people, even if we wanted to. Chunyu handled things very cleverly this time. At least, to anyone else, it's perfectly normal for her to be kicked out of the manor."
"Miss, are you referring to the matter of Chunyu deliberately framing her for breaking that double-eared vase?"
“She wouldn’t have suspected it was our people who did it. After all, she was the only one there at the time, and it was people from Mu Xinyao’s courtyard who discovered it later, not our people. So, I never thought about bringing that little girl back.”
After several days of tension, Mu Xin Nuan finally smiled for the first time.
At this moment, the group finally understood that the young lady's real purpose in saying that she wanted to drive that little girl out, and to do it neatly and without leaving a trace, was actually this.
After that little girl leaves, she will naturally report everything she saw and everything that happened to her, word for word. In that case, who knows if the Prince of Ming will believe that this was Mu Xinyao's doing?
After exchanging glances, the group had to admit that the young lady's tactic of sowing discord was truly brilliant!
After all, given what happened with Xu Huilan, Ming Wang would naturally assume that this was Mu Xinyao's revenge.
Now that he has taken revenge on Xu Huilan, no woman who has been raped will have any good feelings towards the perpetrator!
Aside from deep hatred, it's probably impossible to feel any other emotions.
Therefore, the young lady had guessed the girl's identity long ago, but only took action after Xu Huilan's incident, which was the best opportunity.
That night, Mu Xin Nuan didn't rush to sleep. She leaned against the couch, pretending to be asleep, clearly waiting for someone.
Although Mu Qing and the others had developed feelings for the Prince of Chang Le, they knew that men and women should not be too close. In addition, things seemed to be going beyond their expectations, so they dared not be careless. Therefore, after discussing it, they separated and guarded the young lady's bedroom, being even more cautious than before.
Mu Xin Nuan was well aware of their thoughts, but she didn't say anything. That was for the best; at least she wouldn't be too tired.
Duanmu Chuze didn't keep her waiting long; they soon arrived at her Moon Pavilion.
"What's going on? I thought you would feel relieved. But I didn't expect you to be so forgiving towards her."
"She is, after all, surnamed Mu. And so far, she hasn't caused me any serious harm, or any real harm. What I need to consider is the entire Mu family. It's impossible for my father to be put in a difficult situation just because of my own hatred."
Duanmu Chuze was stunned. He hadn't expected that she would be so focused on the big picture at such a young age.
Suddenly, a pang of heartache welled up in his heart.
This little girl is so young, yet she worries so much for her family and relatives. Even when she is in trouble or wronged, she always thinks of others first. How much suffering does she have hidden in her heart?
The more Duanmu Chuze thought about it, the more he felt that Mu Xinnuan needed someone by her side to support her, while also subtly reminding her. Otherwise, who knows, one day she might unhesitatingly dedicate herself entirely to this family!
"Ah Nuan, how can you be so heartbreaking?"
As Duanmu Chuze spoke, he moved closer and sat down beside her, then pulled her into his arms and buried his head in her hair, greedily inhaling its fragrance.
Mu Xin Nuan couldn't understand why Duanmu Chu Ze had suddenly become so sentimental. In her memory, this person had always been very rational and calm.
"Are you alright?" Mu Xin Nuan asked somewhat blankly.
Duanmu Chuze shook his head, still refusing to let go of her.
After a long while, Duanmu Chuze finally raised his head slightly and said in a muffled voice, "Anuan, didn't I tell you not to shoulder everything by yourself?"
"Yes. I know. This happened too suddenly. Besides, didn't I ask Chunyu to ask your people for help? It's just a pity that it was too late."
"Are you blaming me?"
Mu Xin Nuan shook her head, "How could that be? For Mu Xin Yao? It's not worth it!"
As Mu Xin Nuan spoke, the corners of her lips curled slightly, and her smile suddenly took on a sinister glint. "Actually, you should know that I'm not a soft-hearted person. The reason I didn't want to touch Mu Xin Yao was partly because I felt that she still bore the Mu surname and hadn't yet taken her husband's surname, so if she were to lose face, it would primarily be the Mu family's loss. On the other hand, I also wanted to use her to lure out that person. I just didn't expect that your instigation would directly cause them to fight amongst themselves."
“Anuan, Mu Xinyao is always a problem. She’s like a firecracker. Who knows when someone might light it with incense and it might explode.”
Mu Xin Nuan remained silent. Of course she knew who Mu Xin Yao was, but right now, she really didn't have a good way to guard against her. Moreover, besides Mu Xin Yao, there were more important matters in the Mu family that required her attention.
