"If that's the case... I wasn't there, and I wasn't sure. I don't quite understand what your father was thinking, but one thing is certain: he didn't love your mother that much. " Mu Sheng also sympathized with Xiao Die.

"Why do you say that?" Xue Luoyun was filled with endless anger, and felt grief and indignation for his mother.

"Because not long after your mother died, he immediately married Mrs Zhao to fill in the rooms. I believe you remember quite a lot of what happened after that. " Mu Sheng was only guessing.

Xue Ruyun nodded her head. The original owner's memories still remained in her mind. Hence, she remembered quite a bit of what happened after that.

After Xue Ruyun heard this, his spirit collapsed and he slumped onto his chair. From the moment she had heard Mrs Zhao curse at her mother, she had already made a terrifying guess. She guessed that Mrs Zhao must have wanted to seduce her father a long time ago. No wonder why this Xue Lian painting is Little Three, it was inherited from the Zhao Clan. As a daughter, her heart ached at the thought of her mother's miserable fate. But there was also a glimmer of hope that she would be able to find out that her mother was happy in other people's mouths.

Unexpectedly, after listening to Mu Ying's story, it seemed that his mother's life had become even more miserable. After listening to his story, Xue Ruyun sat on the stool without a clue. He hadn't thought that his mother's fate would be so rough. Back then, her mother was a beauty with an illustrious family background, and she was the target of many people's strife. It was a pity that she had a deep affection for Mu Zheng, but ended up like this in the end.

"Do you think my mother was used?" Xue Ruyun slowly said.

Mu Sheng nodded. "It's possible, because ever since this woman was with Mu Zheng, she didn't ask for too much. She only wanted to be with him. And after he married Xue Duan Sheng, he followed his duty and didn't do anything else. Maybe he doesn't know about this. "

"We now assume that if the mother did not know, but the grandfather knew. So after my mother was with the Emperor, my grandfather might have done something about it. However, due to some unknown reason, Mu Zheng sat on the throne and removed the power behind him. The outsiders knew that the matter had been exposed, so they escaped in the middle of the night. Unfortunately, my mother was abandoned. "

"It might be possible, but don't think of it badly." Seeing that she was upset, Mu Ying quickly consoled her, "Perhaps your maternal grandfather intentionally didn't mention the relationship he had with Han Tianyi because he didn't want to involve the imperial government even though your maternal grandfather and the rest of them are cousins. However, Han Tianyi's case was exposed and he was uprooted. Your grandfather was worried about being implicated, so he ran away. As for your mother, she probably doesn't want to leave because she has you. " Mu Ying did his best to comfort Xue Ruyun, so as to make her heart feel better, so that she wouldn't feel uncomfortable from feeling sorry for Xiao Die.

"If that's the case, then it's better. It's just that what happened that year has already been verified. " Xue Ruyun sighed.

He had wanted to ask about her mother, but to her surprise, she felt displeased. Although she didn't have any useful clues regarding the Zhao Family's matter, Xue Ruoyun still had a faint feeling that there was a connection between them. It was such a pity. If she hadn't accidentally slipped, perhaps Mrs Zhao would have told her about her mother. Unfortunately, she was already on alert, so she definitely wouldn't say anything. Xue Ruyun was extremely vexed.

"It's not your fault." Mu Sheng saw her downcast expression and remained silent. He looked into the distance and pretended not to notice as he spoke, but it was hard to cover the concern in his words.

Xue Ruyun looked at him, and felt that although his expression was cold and unfeeling, he was actually comforting himself. He felt a lot more at ease. After calming down a bit, he regained his confidence.

"It's useless to be sad now. I should do something useful." Xue Ruyun's eyes once again blossomed with brilliance; they were now as lively as they were in the past.
