novelThe Regretful Mu Ling (2)
| ← Ch.1267 | Ch.1269 → |
If he had known that this day would come, then why did he do what he did?
Even Old Master Mu did not empathize with Mu Ling, not to mention the other people.
"Qing'er." Suyi suddenly seemed to have thought of something as she turned to look at Feng Ruqing. As for Mu Ling and the rest, they were entirely forgotten."Why didn't Nan Xian return with you?"
Feng Ruqing's fingers stiffened a little. She only managed to slowly answer after a while."He is still waiting for me to meet him. I was just a little worried and thus, have returned to take a look. Since everything is fine here, I will return shortly to seek him."
When she had left Fang Zuo Mainland, Feng Ruqing promised Qiuqiu that she would return to pick her up.
But when she did return to Fang Zuo Mainland, there would no longer be someone jumping out in front of her, no one calling her 'master'...
"Oh." Suyi really could not understand why Feng Ruqing had returned but Nan Xian had not. It was good that she did not bother thinking too much and simply nodded."Alright. Then when you bring him back, then your wedding matters should be settled since my in-laws are here."
She had been waiting to drink this daughter-in-law's cup of tea1 for too long...
The day was finally here.
Suyi turned to look at Mu Ling coldly. She kept calm as her expression remained unchanged."Mu Ling, just now Chen Qingyan has spoken a truthful sentence. Everything that you have reaped today is due to your own foolishness. It was you who has harmed yourself for a lifetime. You don't need to come to my son's engagement. Since you chose to believe her instead of me back then, you are no longer his father!"
Mu Ling froze as he stopped in his tracks to the pit.
Chen Qingyan took this opportunity to jump on his back, taking out a sword from who knows where and violently stabbed at Mu Ling...
At this moment, Mu Ling had yet to regain his senses due to Suyi's words and had completely not noticed Chen Qingyan who had attacked him.
Behind him, everyone saw it, but yet no one warned him...
With Chen Qingyan's abilities, she could not kill Mu Ling, but this attack was also something he deserved too.
Splat!
The sword stabbed into Mu Ling's body.
Blood flowed from his back and slowly spread out. The intense pain also made him slowly regain his senses. He turned his head and stared at Chen Qingyan with his cold, unfeeling eyes.
Chen Qingyan released her hand and took a few steps backward. Her face seemed to have been drained of blood as she bit on her lower lip tightly."It was you who has forced me to do this. You wanted to maim Xi'er's corpse! I will not allow you to do that!"
Mu Ling raised his hand to hold the handle of the sword. With a strong pull, he pulled out the sword from his body.
Blood spurted out like a fountain, unable to stop.
With the sword in his hand, he narrowed in on Chen Qingyan.
"Would you rather give up on your own and Mu Huan's life or rather I grind the bones in Mu Xi's body into ashes?"
Chen Qingyan shivered. Her son was already dead. To her, it was also meaningless to continue living.
However...
She turned around to look at Mu Huan who was sitting on the ground and clenched her fists."Then, just kill me. You are not allowed to insult Xi'er!"
Xi'er was her most beloved child.
He was already dead. She just wished for him to rest in peace, not needing to undergo any suffering.
As for herself and Mu Huan...
Even if Mu Ling let them off, Feng Ruqing and Suyi would definitely not!
Therefore, why should she not... keep Xi'er's body an intact corpse.
Mu Huan had already known Chen Qingyan's choice, but when she personally heard these words, her heart still filled up with desolation.
Both of them were Chen Qingyan's children, but her choice seemed to always be Mu Xi...
"Hehe!" Mu Huan stood up as she laughed softly. The more she laughed, the louder she became until her laughter became maniacal.
1 - to drink one's daughter-in-law's cup of tea is one of the procedures in the Chinese wedding ceremony.
