Chapter 2655: Mu Jingfeng Did It?

2655 Mu Jingfeng Did It?

"Acted with propriety?" Qiao Mu ruminated over these words cynically. "Nanny wouldn't have forgetten that Mu Rouxuan, this eldest young lady, is several months older than me, right?"

If she knew her place, how would Mu Rouxuan be born before her?

...

This Mu Qingya must have illegitimately gotten together with Mu Jingfeng behind her mother's back!

Chenshang was taken aback. She promptly held Qiao Mu's hand and explained, "Little Young Lady, I also know a bit about this matter. It truly can't be blamed on Qingya."

"She was the Mu Clan's adopted daughter from young. Unable to activate her mystic meridians, she had no cultivation, so she had very difficult time in the Mu Clan. She looks meek, but fortunately she is a resolute and steadfast woman. Normally, no one can take advantage of her."

"She is a very determined person. After your dad married your mom, she swiftly cut the Gordian knot and no longer got involved with your dad. If not because your dad that scoundrel provoked his enemy, he wouldn't have gotten drugged and barged into Qingya's courtyard, r*ping her and ruining her reputation for life."

"She hasn't had it easy these past years either. She has worked extremely hard on the Mu Clan's behalf for so many years, conscientiously managing your dad's shops, manors, etc., and even supporting your dad's concubines! If it were your mom, she would have long refused to do so."

Qiao Mu snorted coldly.

Chenshang continued, "Little Young Lady, this old servant doesn't want to badmouth your dad, but I feel that your cowardly dad is most likely the one who sent Shuntian Prefecture's men after your mom!"

"He is an extremely conceited person. Since your mom dared to directly leave the Mu Clan and make him lose face, he definitely harbored hatred, so he thought up a plan to eliminate your mom!"

Qiao Mu silently analyzed Chenshang's words in her mind. She felt that what she said made some sense.

It was possible that her dad really was the one who did it.

If her dad just casually tossed down several talismans or several bottles of supreme-grade pills, there would be plenty of people vying to handle affairs on his behalf, no?

"I understand." Qiao Mu concluded, "Whether it is the matter with the Long Clan, Mu Qingya or Mu Jingfeng, I will thoroughly investigate it all."

Chenshang looked at Qiao Mu with a gratified nod. She said, "If my lady is looking down from above, she will definitely be happy."

Qiao Mu couldn't help but smile bitterly when she heard this. "Mother wouldn't be too happy."

After all, her mother's original wish was for her not to meddle in these matters. She just wanted her to live a peaceful and comfortable life.

However, she did interfere in the end.

Qiao Mu looked at Chenshang profoundly. "Nanny, is the Wangchuan Sea's Long Clan you speak of that clan I am thinking of?"

Chenshang was startled. She met Qiao Mu's gaze and then said with a smile, "Little Young Lady already knows in her heart, is that not so?"

Qiao Mu sighed. She felt like a lot of her suspicions had cleared up.

It turned out that she actually had such a special bloodline. It truly was miraculous. No wonder every time she entered water, she felt like she could breathe freely, just like... a fish in water.

When she remembered that last instruction when Long Chuyun accepted her as her disciple, she couldn't help but suddenly feel enlightened.

Qiao Mu shook her head with emotion. She looked to Chenshang and said softly, "Nanny, come stay with me in Magnolia Court."

Chenshang's wrinkled face revealed a deep smile. "This old servant is willing to follow the little young lady, and will not hesitate to go through fire and tread on fire."

Who wants you to go through fire and tread on fire, Qiao Mu thought.

She wanted her to take good care of herself!
