When Chen Mu Mu Mu woke up, she wasn't in the prison anymore. Although she had expected this to happen, she was still surprised to see the unfamiliar surroundings around her.
This was a very elegant room. There were sandalwood tables, chairs, and a zither table. On the windowsill, there were some unknown branches stretching in. Green leaves hung from them, creating an exceptionally fresh feeling.
This was definitely not the home of the corrupt officials.
Not to mention that the Prefect's family wasn't that luxurious, even if they had the money, the Prefect's family still wouldn't have that kind of elegance.
Elegant characters were carved into the bones, and not something that could be learned just by following someone else.
But if it wasn't the Prefect's mansion, then where was it?
Her home in Xingyu Village was absolutely out of the question, because she was very familiar with every single blade of grass there.
Could it be …
An idea suddenly flashed through her mind, causing her to feel slightly more at ease.
"You're awake?"
The young woman in red, who was sitting on the bed reading a book, raised her head and smiled when she heard the voice.
"You're amazing, even daring to eat arsenic. Luckily, nothing went wrong, or else you would regret it."
Only now did Chen Mu Mu Mu notice the young girl. She was only about fifteen to sixteen years old, and her appearance was extremely spirited. Her red clothes were like fire, and as she walked, she exuded an indescribable charm.
It was a very contradictory feeling. She was clearly a pure woman, yet she had an unconventional maturity to her. When these two auras were mixed together, they somehow got along well.
It was as if she was born that way.
Seeing that she was silent, Shangguan Yue smiled slightly: "I forgot to introduce you, my name is Shangguan Yue, I'm Shangguan Bai's little sister."
"So it's Miss Shangguan." Chen Mu nodded at her, and his gaze fell on the wooden bracelet on her wrist. His pupils contracted, and he regained his calm afterwards.
Shangguan Yue did not notice her abnormality and intimately approached her. "We've met each other before, at Feng Lingxi's home."
Seeing the wooden bracelet, Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu already remembered who she was.
The light in her eyes wavered as she asked, "So this is the Shangguan family's residence?"
"No, it's my brother's courtyard. The messy place in my house isn't suitable for you to recuperate." Shangguan Yue sized her up with a beaming smile, "When I was unconscious, I didn't feel it, but when I looked carefully at you, your facial features were really beautiful. When you opened your mouth, you should be a beauty."
In a conversation between girls, there was no such thing. However, being praised by others, their mood would always be joyful.
Chen Mu Mu replied with a smile, "You're also very good-looking."
Pausing, he looked around, "I'm currently in Shangguan Bai's courtyard. Does that mean that Shangguan Bai and Lu Jinfeng are doing fine?"
"He's been injured and recuperated for two days. He's doing quite well." Shangguan Yue smiled, "Your situation is also good. The case has been resolved, and you are now innocent."
Shangguan Yue saw that she was a little "confused", so he told her everything about Tian Sheng Hall out of good intentions, "You have been unconscious for two days, so there are a lot of things that you do not know."
"Stunned for two days?" Chen Mu frowned.
No, it shouldn't have been a coma for two days.
She had already estimated the situation. Although arsenic was highly toxic, it would cost her life if she ate too much.
It was fine for her to eat small amounts of arsenic. In ancient times, wealthy families would even use small amounts to improve their beauty. Therefore, she had only eaten a little bit. At most, she would be unconscious for a few hours.
Why was she in a coma for two days, thus missing so many things, and thus not under her control?
The feeling of being out of control was suffocating.
"Don't worry. Although you've taken arsenic, your problem isn't too serious. The doctor said that you could have woken up after sleeping for four to six hours." Shangguan Yue looked at her, and smiled, "But you are too tired, so once you are able to sleep, you will fall asleep. We know you are tired, so we did not wake you up."
So it was like this. She was too tired.
How could she not be tired? That small workshop had only just started and she had already designed all sorts of things, so she had to look into almost everything. At the same time, she was also responsible for designing the clothes for Feather Workshop.
Especially in these past few days when Lin Qiu'er and his mother had plotted against him, and so many things had happened, it was no wonder that they weren't tired.
After figuring out the reason, Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu's heart relaxed a little and asked: "Then Miss Shangguan, where are your brother and Lu Jinfeng now?"
That stinking brat. When she was awake, he would always tell her that he liked her, but in the end, something happened to her and he didn't even see her.
Not to mention, when she was "injured", he would wait by the bed for her to wake up … As expected, male masters with feelings as deep as the sea only existed in novels.
Her family's Lu Jinfeng was more realistic than anyone.
Or perhaps, he was not her master at all.
"Although the official announcement has proven the innocence of your Chen Ji Workshop, it is still a case of food poisoning, which has a huge impact on our reputation. Big Brother was too busy, he just got Young Master Lu to accompany him out. As an idle person, I don't understand their business, so I volunteered to stay and take care of you. " Shangguan Yue said.
Chen Mu Mu nodded his head, but he didn't say anything. In his heart, he still minded his words.
The person she wished to accompany her was not Shangguan Yue.
However, she hadn't promised Lu Jinfeng anything. He didn't care about her, so it wasn't a big deal.
She was just a youth in the prime of her youth, yet her fur had yet to fully grow. Yet, she still expected him to take care of her in every possible way?
Chen Mu Mu smiled sinisterly as he stretched his muscles and veins. Feeling that his body was fine, he got up to get out of bed.
"Let's rest for a while longer." Shangguan Yue advised, "Those who are sick, stay in bed, it's easier for them to recover."
The little girl probably did not know that the sick people often went out to get some fresh air, which made them recover even faster.
Chen Mu Mu smiled. "I've already been lying on my bed for two days now. If I don't go out to exercise now, my limbs would probably be stiff."
"There is such a thing?" Shangguan Yue asked curiously.
"I'm a doctor." Chen Mu Mu had a serious expression as he looked at her. "Could it be that you don't know?"
"I do know a bit." Shangguan Yue said hesitantly.
From Chen Mu Mu's actions of forcing the mastermind out of the shadows with arsenic, he knew that she was skilled in medical techniques. There were still many ways to find out the truth, so Chen Mu Mu Mu didn't risk her life unless she was completely confident. Those with absolute confidence in their abilities could only think of the possibility of becoming a doctor.
Unable to stop Chen Mu Mu, Shangguan Yue could only accompany her for a stroll in the courtyard.
Shangguan Bai's courtyard took up two times the space of her Apricot Rain Village's house, not to mention the fake mountains and flowing water, the Nine Rhythm Corridor, and the small bridge pavilion. They were simply not something that her courtyard could compare with.
If she hadn't transmigrated, she would have had such a villa in her previous life.
However, teleportation wasn't necessarily a bad thing. Her career was still in its infancy. If she couldn't have a place like this now, she might have a place in the future.
Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu grabbed a red plum and took a deep breath before saying softly, "The plum blossom's fragrance is from the bitter cold. If there hadn't been so much rain and wind, I don't think it would have been so beautiful."
Shangguan Yue laughed: "I do not understand the literary words of all of you, but I think that this Red Plum Blossom is very pretty, so I called Big Brother to look for some in this courtyard."
Chen Mu Mu's eyes lit up, "Why not planted in Shangguan family?"
It was not planted in the courtyard under Shangguan Yue's name, but in Shangguan Bai's courtyard?
"You're actually living in this courtyard?"
Shangguan Bai's face reddened, "No wonder they say that people who are too smart are not cute. This is my elder brother's house, I actually live here."
She sighed, "You can roughly guess the situation in our family. It's filled with scheming and scheming everywhere, even Big Bro is deeply involved. I don't like that place at all."
She looked at him with a smile. "Big brother said something about him, but you cured his illness. I'm very grateful."
"Shangguan Bai is my friend, I think it's only right that he do something for my friend." Chen Mu Mu Mu replied humbly.
Shangguan Yue laughed, "I like you more like this, if you cure my brother's illness and ask for a sky-high price, I would hate you. Although you are crafty and treacherous, but I feel very comfortable getting along with you."
Chen Mu was silent.
It wasn't like she had no intentions at all for treating Shangguan Bai.
As for her being crafty and treacherous, was that a compliment?
While the two of them were chatting, a servant girl rushed over to report: "Young miss, Li King is here again."
Again? Chen Mu Mu Mu looked at Shangguan Yue as though he had thought of something.
However, Shangguan Yue's face darkened, and said angrily: "It's that lecher again, he's always lewd, and can tell what's different in his heart with a single glance, truly annoying!"
Hence, Chen Mu looked at Shangguan Yue with an even weirder gaze than before: Did that guy molest you?
"It's not molesting me, it's …" Shangguan Yue glanced at her, and then swallowed his words, as if it was hard to say, "Anyway, I really don't like him."
Why did he have to look at her when she was unconscious? Could it be that Qin Tiansei did something to her while she was unconscious?
Chen Mu thought for a moment and felt that as a prince, he had never seen any kind of women. A young girl who had no figure, no face, and no body was still in a coma, Qin Tianshui shouldn't be interested in her, right?
If he couldn't, why did Shangguan Yue have a face that was unable to finish his sentence? Shangguan Yue should have seen something...
As she thought about it, she suddenly recalled the agreement between Qin Tiansei and her. The corner of her lips curled up.
Qin Tianli was not trying to molest her, but was instead searching for the location of that Gold Medallion of Immunity.
However, he already said that she was crafty and cunning. How could someone like her place such an important bargaining chip on her and let her fall unconscious be taken away?
"Aiyo, Miss Shangguan, it's rare for me to come here and you're just saying bad things about me behind my back?" After Shangguan Yue finished speaking, Qin Tian Yao appeared while smiling and waving a fan.
He was dressed in black silk clothing with a jade belt around his waist and a snow-white fox fur coat, making his jade-like facial features seem more and more handsome. The corner of his mouth was hung with an evil, roguish smile, and his entire person seemed both noble and evil, giving people a feeling that they couldn't get close to him.
However, this feeling of gazing up at the ink fan in his hand suddenly collapsed.
It's really a unique hobby to fan in the middle of winter.
