Chapter 144: Chapter 144: The Tragic Fate of Mu Yixue (Part 3)
“Retribution?” Mu Ruyue sneered, her lips curling with mockery, “Haven’t you heard the saying? It’s better to tear down ten temples than to destroy a single marriage. Tell me, upon whose head do you think that retribution will fall first?”
Mu Yixue glared hatefully at Mu Ruyue, retorting, “I just wanted to serve the Prince and become his concubine, I never intended to break up your marriage.”
Looking at Mu Yixue’s indifference, as if she was a pig not afraid of boiling water, Mu Ruyue felt somewhat helpless. This woman had been spoiled by Mu Qing since childhood, hence she never considered the consequences of her words and deeds. It was clear that Ye Wuchen didn’t need any concubine, yet she was still bringing up this matter.
“Xue’er!” Mu Qing’s face turned pale, and he said hastily, “Please, Prince, for the sake of Xue’er’s youthful ignorance, spare her this time.”
“Youthful ignorance?” Ye Wuchen’s gloomy gaze swept over her, a shadow cast over his handsome face, “Mu Yixue is only two years younger than Muer, is this youthful ignorance? Since she so desires to be regarded from the side, then this Prince shall decide and have her marry Wang Bo, the deputy general under the National Guardian General, as a concubine.”
“No!” Mu Yixue shrieked, she, a daughter of the Mu Family, could only become a deputy general’s concubine? And this Wang Bo, it was said that he had his looks ruined when he was young, incredibly ugly, and was nothing more than a martial artist who knew nothing of cherishing women.
Becoming his concubine, wouldn’t that push her to a dead end?
“Haha, Prince, rest assured, that Wang Bo is a subordinate of my father. I will handle this matter properly,” Li Lu glanced at Mu Yixue, a hint of pity surfacing in his eyes.
Wang Bo had two concubines; it was said both were tortured to death by him during intimate affairs. It was unknown whether the Miss of the Mu Family would survive even half a year…
“Father, Daddy, save me, save me quick, I don’t want to marry that monster, I don’t want to!”
Mu Qing wanted to plead, but before he could utter a word, a crushing pressure overwhelmed him, leaving him speechless, able to do nothing but watch as Mu Yixue was dragged away by Li Lu.
However, Mu Yixue’s fate turned out to be even more miserable than those tortured concubines…
Before entering the Prince Mansion, she was crippled by a black-clothed man, reduced to a First Rank waste, and on the wedding night, Wang Bo discovered she was not a virgin and, enraged, left immediately. From then on, whenever he was slightly displeased, he would cruelly torment her. Not even half a month had passed before Mu Yixue had already become someone unrecognizable, neither human nor ghost in appearance.
As the Ghost King had ordered, no one from the Mu Family was allowed to visit Mu Yixue, so now she was in a state where heavens would not respond to her cries, nor could the earth aid her, only able to endure the inhumane torture from Wang Bo…
Compared to the tragic fate of Mu Yixue, Mu Ruyue, after they had left, entered seclusion and finally, a month later, advanced her strength to that of a Sixth-level Martial Artist. While she had not yet made a breakthrough in the art of Elixir refinement, she had become much more proficient. Now, when refining Earth-level Intermediate Elixirs, she could produce one hundred pills per batch.
This was no small progress.
And during the time Mu Ruyue was secluded, the transition of imperial power finally concluded. Emperor Zi Yue was imprisoned by Elder Zhao, and the throne went to the ailing Ninth Prince, Ye Luoya. However, all this had nothing to do with Mu Ruyue. Now, all she wanted was to increase her strength as quickly as possible.
Then, to stand shoulder to shoulder with that man…
