It's good to exchange marriages. My sister eats coarse food while I wear gold and silver.

"This Mu Qing is too shameless." Yun Ling, who came to eavesdrop, squatted in the corner and gritted her teeth, "There are so many men in the world, but she has to pester the young marquis. How abominable."

"Yunling, let's go." Chenxiang, who was dragged along by Yunling, looked around fearfully, "If the young lady finds out that we are eavesdropping here, she will definitely get angry."

"No, even if the young lady really blames you, you can just say that I forced you to come here." Yun Ling patted his chest to dispel Chen Xiang's concerns, "As the young lady's confidants, we should keep an eye on all directions and listen to all sides for her."

This reason convinced Chenxiang: "If it weren't for the young lady, I would probably still be cooking in the kitchen of Yuan Mansion. We do have to help the young lady, but we are servants. In the eyes of outsiders, our every word and action represents the young lady. We can't do anything to discredit her."

"But we also represent the Wanning Marquisate. If anyone dares to separate the young mistress and the young marquis, where will the face of the master and the mistress be? As confidants, we must have a sense of mission to protect the master's feelings. Otherwise, if there is a rift between the masters, we will be the ones who suffer." Yun Ling saw Chenxiang's face turn pale, and hurriedly said, "Don't be nervous, I'm just giving an example."

"Metaphorically, I know."

"Why don't you speak?"

Mu Qing's voice came from inside again.

The two girls immediately stopped talking and listened quietly again.

Lu Sui stared at the ceiling with lifeless eyes. What could he say?

Having said that, Mu Qing still refused to give in.

"Lu Sui, I can do the same thing that Yuan Buwei did. I can even do it better than her. And your dream..."

"Why did you contact the Jiang family without telling me?" Lu Sui felt that if he didn't speak, Mu Qing would start to lecture him again. "Since you know me well, you should know my temper. Why did you contact the Jiang family without telling me? What was your motivation?"

"I'm doing this for your own good."

This is like talking nonsense.

Lu Sui sneered: "Then you know that the Jiang family treats me as a cash cow, but they also despise me in every way. Do you know that?"

"I……"

Mu Qing was confused by Lu Sui's question: "I don't know. If I knew that your uncle treated you so badly, I would definitely not have anything to do with him."

"Don't you like me to the point of madness? Can't you even investigate this matter clearly?" Lu Sui's cold eyes fell on Mu Qing's suddenly pale face, "Your so-called love is just to inform me, so that I can be grateful to you? Then I will unconditionally pamper you, trust you, do my best to help the Mu family return to the top, and make you a woman that everyone envies? Is that right?"

"no."

"What is that? Explain it to me and I will believe it."

"I……"

Mu Qing opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word.

Lu Sui’s indifference made her limbs stiff and her mind went blank.

"Mu Qing, you like yourself more than you like me. Everything you do is planned by yourself."

Lu Sui's words were like a sharp blade, stabbing Mu Qing and causing him to bleed profusely.

Anyone who is self-aware will repent and apologize.

Mu Qing's inherent pride makes her never show weakness or bow her head even in front of the person she likes.

Because she feels that people should always maintain some integrity.

You must never let the other party see through your vulnerability and control you.

What's more, people who like you should understand your thoughts and maintain your integrity.

"You can't even be honest with me, why should I accept someone who can stab me in the back at any time?" Lu Sui knew Mu Qing very well. If he wanted to force her to speak her mind, he had to push her into a corner with no way out.

Originally, I could let her continue to stay in the Gale Camp and serve as a deputy general.

But Mu Qing shouldn't target Awei everywhere.

Awei disdains to fight with Mu Qing, but since he is Awei's husband, he will vent her anger for her.

"Mu Qing, I'll give you one last chance. Go see the emperor. What did you say to him?"

"No."

Mu Qing blurted out, clenching his fists at the same time: "It doesn't matter if you don't believe me, time will prove my sincerity towards you."

Done.

She turned and left.

Yunling and Chenxiang, who were outside the door, heard the footsteps and immediately stood up and ran back.

Only after seeing Mu Qing jogging out of the yard did the two of them slowly walk out. Just as they were about to breathe a sigh of relief, they heard the young marquis' voice coming from inside the house.

"Yunling, Chenxiang, both of you come in."

The two men froze for a moment, but quickly entered the room the next second.

"Young Marquis, it was my idea to eavesdrop. I was the one who dragged Chenxiang here. And the young lady didn't know about it. It wasn't her who ordered it." Yun Ling explained everything clearly in one breath, for fear that the young Marquis would be angry.

"You are quite loyal."

"Then I am here because I am entrusted by the Valley Master to protect the young lady. If anyone dares to bully the young lady, I will be the first to fight him to the death."

"Okay, I'll give you a task now."

Yun Ling and Chen Xiang looked at each other, then looked at Lu Sui, pointing at himself in disbelief: "Young Marquis, what task are you going to assign me? I know martial arts, but I am not proficient in it, not..."

"It has nothing to do with martial arts. I am now paralyzed in bed. If I rely on Xingzhou alone to handle all the military affairs, I am bound to be careless sometimes."

Yun Ling seemed to understand: "Young Marquis, you won't let me monitor Mu Qing, right?"

"Mu Qing has never said what she said when she met the emperor. It can be seen that she takes the emperor's promise to her very seriously. Xingzhou and Li Yan are people she knows well. She will definitely be suspicious if they get close to her. I don't trust other people in the barracks. But you are different. You and Xingzhou are childhood sweethearts. It is normal for you to visit him often in the barracks."

"Young Marquis wants me to monitor Mu Qing?" Yun Ling scratched her head, "But I'm the young lady's person, she will also be suspicious."

"Didn't I tell you that you are Xingzhou's childhood sweetheart? Sooner or later, you two will get married, right? You just need to show a little bit of yourself to give Mu Qing a reason to get close to you."

"Can I understand it this way? If Mu Qing wants to return to her previous state, she must have a breakthrough. From her perspective, she certainly can't bring herself to go to Brother Xingzhou and Lieutenant General Li, but she knows the relationship between Brother Xingzhou and me. If there is no better way, she will definitely come to me to get close to me." Yun Ling straightened her back instantly, "I understand, this is called a double agent. Young Marquis, you trust me, I promise to complete the mission."

Lu Sui wanted to explain it more clearly to Yun Ling, but she understood it all at once.

Double agent.

This word describes it very accurately.

"What about me?" Chen Xiang looked at Lu Sui expectantly, "What do I need to do?"

"You are too timid to accomplish anything great."
