The peerless and dark princess

Shen Xinyue comforted Muruohan for a long time, and even watched her fall asleep before leaving Fengxiyuan. She left Muruohan's courtyard with the same expression as usual, but her drooping eyes flashed with a fierce look.

Mu Wange played with Mu Haolin for a while, then asked Nanny Chen to take him downstairs to rest.

At night, Wang Ge wondered why Zuo Ci wanted to see Lu Qinghan's scar. Was he trying to prove something? So much so that he didn't even notice Zuo Ci was already behind her.

"What are you thinking about?"

Zuo Ci saw that Wange ignored him and asked.

"what?"

Elegy was startled, "How did you come in without making any noise?"

"You were so lost in thought. Tell me what you were thinking about that you didn't even notice I was here."

"nothing."

Mu Wange paused. It was impossible for him to say that he was imagining the relationship between him and Lu Qinghan. "Well, today I saw that someone, oh, Madam Dong, there was a scar on her left wrist, um, crescent-shaped."

Zuo Ci paused for a moment, then grabbed Wange's shoulders firmly and asked, "Are you sure it's a crescent? Are you seeing things correctly?"

Wangge was frightened by Zuo Ci's excited expression, "No, I'm not mistaken. I'm sure. But, can you let me go?"

Zuo Qi and Zuo Jiu on the roof were dumbfounded. They did not hear the conversation between Wange and Zuo Ci, but only saw Zuo Ci grabbing Wange's shoulders with some excitement as if he wanted to hug Wange in his arms.

"Ahem, Master..."

Zuo Qi swallowed and dared not say anything.

Zuo Jiu also exchanged glances with Zuo Qi and nodded.

"Yeah, sorry."

Zuo Ci let go of Wangge's shoulders a little embarrassedly, "I'm too excited."

"It's okay. Is she important to you?"

Mu Wange was very confused. She had seen Zuo Ci in other ways, but this was the first time she saw him like this.

"she……"

Zuo Ci didn't know whether he should tell Mu Wange about this, because it was related to the past of Prince Heng's Mansion.

"If it's inconvenient to talk about it, then don't talk about it. I don't mean to pry into your private affairs. Thank you for helping me clarify things in the palace today."

Mu Wange smiled. While she had the ability to deal with those people, she would inevitably face challenges. However, thanks to Zuo Ci's testimony, she was able to dispel suspicion. After all, in the eyes of others, Zuo Ci didn't know Wange. Although Mu Wange was well-known in the capital, at banquets like this, the original owner usually chased after Chen Yunfeng and the Queen...

"No, it's just that this is about some past events and I don't know whether I should tell you about it."

"Since it concerns the past, then let's not..."

Zuo Ci thought about it and said it, and said it together with Mu Wange's words, "Actually, she is my sister."

"what?"

"She is my sister, a sister from the same mother," Zuo Ci continued. "When Prince Heng's mansion was burned down by fire, I was out visiting friends and was not injured. By the time I learned the news, the fire had already been put out. I found my sister in the cellar of the mansion..."

"Wait, didn't you say Lu Qinghan is your sister? How come you have a younger sister?" Mu Wange was confused.

"You're not finished yet, silly girl."

Zuo Ci nodded Mu Wange's head.

"Then you continue."

"I found my sister and Zuo Jiu in the cellar. At that time, Zuo Jiu's father was one of his men. She followed her parents to the palace that day, but they also perished in the fire. Because she was with my sister and I, she only had time to carry her sister to the cellar... So, I thought my sister had died in the fire along with my parents... Then I sent my sister to Southern Xinjiang, my father's men... Three months ago, I ran into her by chance, Madam Dong. She looked nothing like before. At first glance, she gave me the feeling... So I secretly checked her information, and it was almost the same as when my family was in trouble. That's why I suspected she was my sister."

"So, that's why you came to me to verify whether she is your legitimate sister?"

"Yes. It's not easy for a man like me to get close to her, and Xiaojiu can't go to see her openly. I can sneak into the Dong family, but it's easy to be discovered. Xiaojiu's martial arts skills are not good enough to avoid being discovered, and the Dong family's guards are..."

"You don't blame her for letting you bear all this alone?"

"Don't blame me, it's good enough that she's alive. She had her reasons for not recognizing me, or maybe she lost her memory like my sister. She was already in love with Young Master Dong, and several princes were planning a marriage... This can be considered as getting what she wanted."

"So, do you want to recognize her? Otherwise, why would you go to so much trouble to investigate..."

"No, I, Zuo Ci, am already deeply mired in this quagmire. The reason I'm investigating is just to confirm whether she is my relative. If not, perhaps there will be some problems in the future... Now that it has been confirmed that she is my eldest sister, it is natural that she should not be involved. Now that she has married the person she wanted to marry, I will not bother her anymore."

Zuo Ci said somewhat dejectedly.

Mu Wange looked at Zuo Ci like this and didn't know how to comfort him. If it were her, she would probably handle it the same way. Since she was already in the vortex, how could she bear to drag other relatives into it?

On the other side, Mrs. Dong’s wife Lu Qinghan, after seeing Zuo Ci in the main hall, suddenly thought of a figure that kept appearing in her mind. That Prince Heng seemed to be a very important person to her, but her parents were still alive and had no connection with Prince Heng’s Mansion. This... Lu Qinghan returned to the Dong Mansion with doubts in her mind.

When Dong Mingrui learned about the banquet at the harem, Dong Mingxue, Lu Qinghan and others had already left the palace. As an official, he naturally could not trespass into the harem. He had no choice but to leave immediately and stopped talking to those officials. Old Master Dong also knew what his son was thinking and found an excuse to leave. When Dong Mingrui returned to his bedroom, he saw Lu Qinghan sitting in front of the window in a daze. "Han'er, why are you blowing the wind here? You are not feeling well."

"Mingrui, are you back?"

In fact, Dong Mingrui knew that Lu Qinghan was worried. When he just got home, Dong Mingxue told him what happened today, especially that Lu Qinghan had met Zuo Ci in the main hall. And since then, Lu Qinghan has been acting strangely, as if something is wrong...

"Well, are you unhappy at the banquet today? Or did something happen? Come, tell your husband and I will solve it."

"It's okay. It's just the matter between Lord Zhao and Minister Mu's daughter. It's just pitiful that Miss Mu was framed by her concubine's maid..."

"Han'er, that's a family matter. Don't worry, I, Dong Mingrui, won't take concubines, so naturally, I won't have illegitimate children or anything like that. But, Han'er, we've been married for almost three years. When you're better, we'll have a few children..."

When Lu Qinghan heard Dong Mingrui say this in her ear, her face immediately turned red with embarrassment. Even after being married for several years, she was still so shy, but she still buried her head slightly in Dong Mingrui's steady arms.
