Chapter 172: Chapter 172 Mother and Daughter Recognize Each Other (5)
This slap sent Mu Qing flying, overturning the table and spilling scalding tea over his head, almost peeling off a layer of his scalp.
For a moment, Mu Qing was stunned, not knowing what he had said to enrage Madam Sheng Yue so greatly.
“Yu’er, calm down, don’t let these people ruin your health,” Xiao Tianyu kept soothing Madam Sheng Yue’s fury, with a glint of cold light in his eyes when he glanced at Mu Qing.
“Someone!” Madam Sheng Yue finally caught her breath, glaring fiercely at Mu Qing, “Tie up everyone from the Mu Family for me, and by the way, go capture Mu Tingting and that Mu Yixue who are outside. Oh, and invite Mu Ruyue over, tell her Madam Sheng Yue wants to see her. Remember to use ‘invite,’ no one is to disrespect my Yue’er, or you can all get lost.”
The former is a capture, the latter an invitation, clearly differentiating the two parties.
Originally Madam Sheng Yue had intended to meet with Mu Ruyue personally, but the incident with Xiao Min made her so angry that she couldn’t bear it and decided to resolve everything here.
I wonder if Yue’er got hurt…
Xiao Min had used a Xiao Family taboo, which was extremely dangerous. If Yue’er was hurt, she would tear that wretched woman Xiao Min into ten thousand pieces!
This time, Mu Qing was genuinely bewildered, having no clue about the current situation at all.
Isn’t more power supposed to mean more protection? Why is Madam Sheng Yue being so polite to her when Mu Ruyue injured a young lady from the Xiao Family?
What exactly happened?
And listening to her, it seems Yue’er had known this Madam Sheng Yue for quite some time…
“Mu Family Head, there’s one thing I want to ask you,” Madam Sheng Yue narrowed her eyes menacingly, a cold smirk forming, “Sixteen years ago, did someone give you a girl? Could you tell me where that girl is now?”
Mu Qing was shocked, staring at Madam Sheng Yue in disbelief. His eyes shifted a few times before he said, “She’s dead, that girl is already dead…”
“Haha!” Madam Sheng Yue laughed uproariously, her manners far from gracious, “Dead? Mu Qing, you know the consequences of lying to me! With just one word of mine, you could be doomed forever!”
“It’s true… She’s really dead.”
Gradually, cold sweat began to bead on Mu Qing’s forehead, yet he still tried to argue, after all, only a few knew about what happened back then.
Madam Sheng Yue scoffed coldly. If she hadn’t already thoroughly investigated everything, she might still believe this man. Unfortunately for him, she now knew it all…
“Stop your pathetic struggles, Mu Qing. I know that girl is Mu Ruyue. Because she is not your daughter, you’ve tormented her without restraint, even trying to drive her to death.”
No real father would be so cruel to his daughter; all because Mu Ruyue was not his child, and due to her constitution, she was unable to practice cultivation.
Therefore, Mu Qing always wished for her death.
However, to avoid bearing the stigma of killing his daughter, he restrained himself from strangling her.
“Whether it’s you or Xiao Min, I won’t let either of you off!” Madam Sheng Yue slowly approached Mu Qing, the corners of her mouth curving into a chilling smile, “Ah, and regarding Mu Yixue and Mu Tingting, Yue’er has ‘enjoyed’ their ‘care’ throughout the years in the Mu Family. So tell me, how should I thank you all?”
