Chapter 2651: So It Is You
2651 So It Is You Qiao Mu pressed her lips together and looked at the old nanny gravely. "Chenshang."
"Yes, this old servant is present."
"You, you. Ever since Mother left, you just... kept watch here?"
...
"Yes, yes!" Chenshang nodded emotionally. She shed hot tears and said, "This old servant just knew that my lady will definitely return! Little Young Lady, where is my lady?"
Qiao Mu's heart squeezed bitterly. She gazed straight at this old woman with a stooped back and whose single eye was filled with great anticipation.
Qiao Mu was touched, and she suppressed her bitterness. She clenched her fists. "You have never gone out all these years? You've always been in this courtyard?"
"Uh, yes!"
So, if she didn't walk to this courtyard at the little white squirrel's urging.
Chenshang, who was isolated from the world, would not know that she had already returned to the Mu Clan.
"Little, Little Young Lady, this old servant is isolated from the world in this Wind Chasing Court. I actually did not know that Little Young Lady and my lady have returned!" Chenshang said with reddened eyes, "It is this old servant's negligence! It is this old servant..." Chenshang was suddenly about to kneel.
However, Qiao Mu hastily stepped forward and held her up by the arms. She gripped the latter's hands tightly and said, "Chenshang, Mother will not be coming back."
The little lady spoke in a very low voice, yet Chenshang felt like it was a heavy hammer slamming her head.
Her entire body froze at once. She stared at Qiao Mu, her eye reddened. Her body started shaking uncontrollably.
"Is it... what this old servant thinks it means?" Chenshang's eye swiftly teared up as she uttered each word.
Beneath the little lady's expressionless face secretly hid a heart with billowing emotions.
"Yes." She answered faintly but resolutely.
Chenshang staggered. It was like all the air had been sucked out of her body, and she was about to fall backwards.
Qiao Mu grabbed her arm and helped her to sit down on a stone stool.
Chenshang suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood.
"Chenshang." Qiao Mu squatted in front of the old woman. Her heart ached as she looked at the latter's white hair and wrinkled face.
This old woman had been keeping watch over a haunted house, awaiting her mother's return.
She did not know what kind of feelings these were...
"My lady has died?" Chenshang still asked doubtfully with a trembling voice.
Qiao Mu's eyes turned red, and she nodded expressionlessly.
"Why?" Chenshang murmured, "My lady is so strong. How did she die?"
She suddenly seemed to remember something, and she stared at the little white squirrel in Qiao Mu's arms. "Ask White Emperor, White Emperor will definitely know."
However, the little white squirrel's furry face was filled with confusion.
Qiao Mu hugged the little white squirrel's round body tightly, so tightly that the little white squirrel felt like it couldn't breathe.
"Startled Swan Dagger! 3000 kills!"
"Super powerful combat beast! Its robust physique was strong enough to raise mountains and rivers."
"It looked like a large mouse and had thirteen huge tails, which each had the power to split apart a mountain peak!"
"The lone woman and single beast, put up a brave fight, killing more than 9000 of Shuntian Prefecture's men."
"With the battle in the Western Wilderness, the senior's fame spread throughout the world!"
As Qiao Mu recited from memory, tears rolled down her cheeks.
It turned out that Mother had long sent her super powerful combat beast to her side...
