Chapter 1253: Mu Ling’s Plea V

This was the first time that Mu Ling had admitted his mistake.

Unfortunately, it was already too late…

Her broken heart had already been riddled with hundreds of holes. It was not easy to fix it, so naturally, she would not allow anyone to hurt her heart again.

***

The storm of war had cleared.

Dawn was approaching, and the fish-belly white of early dawn gradually appeared, dispelling the haze in the sky.

“Yan’er, it’s over.”

Feng Tianyu held Nalan Yan’s hand and said in a warm voice.

Initially, they had thought that they would die at this time.

But now, it was all over…

Their daughter had become a great and powerful woman, sufficient to make them rejoice.

However, no matter how excellent or strong his daughter was, she would still be the one who needed to rely on him.

As it was before.

Qin Fei’er’s knees fell to the ground, her body somewhat limp, and she suddenly laughed out. “Feng Ruqing, even if you’re strong, you’re still a demon. Nan Xian is not mine, so I don’t blame you for stealing him away from me, but you shouldn’t… You shouldn’t have killed my servant only because of a quarrel! She’s innocent!!!”

Feng Ruqing’s eyes shifted and seemed to register no memory. “Your servant?”

“Yes, she followed me to the Mu family that day. She had protected me after I fainted, and you have killed her due to a few arguments. A demon like you will be punished sooner or later!”

Qin Fei’er raised her hate-filled eyes, staring hard at Feng Ruqing.

She did not see that when she said these words, Wen Yu’s body stiffened.

“Oh…” Feng Ruqing just realized. “She was indeed beaten by me and thrown out by Nan Xian. But how… She’s dead?”

“Stop pretending. You’ve killed her!”

Qin Fei’er’s eyes were filled with hatred. She gritted her teeth and said, “So, I actually don’t understand what Nan Xian sees in you.”

Indeed. Feng Ruqing was not as kind or as gentle as Qin Fei’er.

Why did Nan Xian… Liked her?

“Well, because Nan Xian is even more vicious than me.”

Feng Ruqing smiled as she walked toward Qin Fei’er. “You said I’ve killed your servant… That is not vicious enough. Instead of killing a servant, what about I kill you first, a woman who is snooping around my state preceptor, so it’s easier for me to become notorious, right? Then, no one will dare to even steal a glance at my state preceptor anymore.”

Qin Fei’er sneered. She then turned to Suyi again and smiled mockingly.

Feng Ruqing was lucky enough to have a mother-in-law like Suyi. After all, both of them were the same kind of person.

If it were anyone else… No one could accept a vicious woman without a tolerant heart like her.

“My mother said that it was you who killed my servant. She grew up with me since she was a child, and I love her like a sister. You’ve killed her, shouldn’t I get my revenge?”

“That…”

One person among the crowd weakly raised his hand.

Feng Ruqing turned to look, and that person was a man about the same age as Nan Xian.

Bashfulness was obvious on his face and he seemed quite shy when he saw that Feng Ruqing was looking at him.

“I saw… A little girl dragged out of Qin Manor by Lady Qin. Back then, that girl was still breathing, but Lady Qin ordered her men to bury her alive. Initially, I thought it was a servant who had made a mistake in the Qin family. If your Qin family hadn’t had any servant executed in the past year, it should be your personal servant whom you loved like a sister.”

Feng Ruqing did not know this young man, but Suyi was very familiar with him, as he was one of the orphans she had adopted back then.

After she left the Mu family, the old butler had sent these children to live outside the manor.
