Mo Qi suddenly stood up, roaring with anger. His voice was no longer cold and sinister, but full of a bloody masculinity, âMy Mu Family has been loyal to the Imperial family for many years, serving them faithfully without complaint. And what result did we get for a single lapse in vigilance? Our entire clan was executed! Our entire clan was executed! More than a hundred people of the Mu Family, even my brotherâs child who was still in the cradle, were not spared!â
âMy sister died in humiliation, my father served the Imperial family of the Great Wei Dynasty his whole life, and in the end, was decapitated for all to see. When he died, his eyes couldnât even close.â
Up till now, he vividly remembered the injustice and pain in his fatherâs eyes before his death.
Decades of loyalty, all for a little princess, all gone like a river flowing eastward.
Their Mu Family, wiped out!
Only he survived.
Mo Qiâs face was already disfigured by his own doing, every line etched with blood, every word marked with tears.
A hint of pity flashed in Su Yingxueâs eyes, âYour experiences are sympathetic, but you shouldnât have taken advantage of Ah Jing. She is a kind-hearted girl, and you even schemed against her kindness.â
âAh Jingâ¦â
Mo Qiâs heart felt like it was struck hard, his body beginning to tremble.
But he was afraid Su Yingxue would see through his façade, so he quickly put on a smile, âWhatâs the use of kindness? Has my Mu Family ever been treated with kindness? My only regret is that I didnât kill that young girl, at least it would have hurt someone like you, who prides on being kind, yet itâs useless.â
Laughing suddenly, Mo Qi said, âWhy donât you bring that young girl to see me? I will kill her with my own hands. You just try and see if kindness is of any use. Sheâs very obedient, if you tell her to offer her neck to the hands of her master, she will do it!â
âShameless!â
Su Yingxue stepped forward and slapped Mo Qi hard, âIn your dreams! You are a twisted man, deserving of death. Ah Jing will definitely live a good life, I will take her back to the Great Cheng Dynasty, let her be a pure and clean Miss, let her forget about a maniac like you, and start a new life!â
âReally?â The laughter of Mo Qi turned cold, as if he wanted to permeate that chill into oneâs bones.
Angry, Su Yingxue left, slamming the prison door shut with force.
After she left, Mo Qi fell heavily to the ground, letting out a long breath.
Gazing at the iron window on the wall spilling light in, his smile contained a trace of relief, âSilly girl, this way, you can live a good life.â
In the future, her life would no longer have a twisted master like him in it.
Following Su Yingxue, she would be pure and kind, and have a beautiful and clear life.
How wonderful.
After all his schemes, he could finally avenge the Mu Family and also protect his little girl.
Whether he would be torn piece by piece or his bones ground to dust and scattered, he had no regrets left.
Su Yingxue and Chu Yihan returned to the palace together. Seething in the carriage, she cursed Mo Qi for being twisted, nearly causing Ah Jingâs death.
Mo Qi on the outside, listening in, also thought Mo Qi was indeed twisted.
Only Chu Yihan thought differently. He took Su Yingxueâs hand, âIf you had brought Ah Jing before Mo Qi, he would not have remained so calm. Your Highness always feels that he still has hidden schemes that we have not yet noticed.â
âWhat else could he be hiding? He previously used narcotic smoke to fizzle out Grandma and Aunt, and I have already administered aid to them, both of them are fine. Although Ah Jing was injured, she will recover after some rest.â
âAnd what about Shen Yu? Have you properly questioned her about how she got involved with Mo Qi?â
Chu Yihan raised an eyebrow.
