Without Lü Zhiying by her side, she felt helpless. Now that her father had been imprisoned by Mu Tingxue, she really didn't know what to do. She had tried her best to harm Mu Tingxue, but in the end, she was trampled underfoot by Mu Tingxue.

She went from being the high and mighty eldest daughter of the Mu family to a beggar whose family was destroyed in the blink of an eye. This huge difference almost twisted her mind.

"Mom, where are you?" Mu Xuefu sobbed helplessly, her face buried in her hands on the dressing table. "Do you know that Mu Tingxue got our father locked up in prison? Our Mu family has raised her for so many years, and she's such an ingrate..."

Suddenly, as if her elbow had touched a switch, the drawer in the dressing table made a strange noise. Startled, she quickly stood up and took several steps back.

She only mustered the courage to open the drawer after confirming that no other sounds were coming from inside.

What comes into view is an exquisite box made of black wood and peach wood, about the size of a palm.

"How could there be such a hidden compartment in Mom's room?" Mu Xuefu was very puzzled.

She cautiously reached out and tested the box several times. After confirming that there were no other mechanisms, she took the wooden box out.

Inside is a wedding photo from the 1990s, which looks like it was taken casually on the roadside.

The woman in the photo is smiling radiantly; she is Lü Zhiying in her youth. The man next to her seems to have an extraordinary relationship with her, but that face is one that Mu Xuefu has never seen before.

She always believed that her mother, who had been her father's mistress for over twenty years, truly loved him.

But to everyone's surprise, before her father, her mother had other men.

She was devastated, and the wooden box fell limply from her hands to the ground.

Hearing the noise, the wet nurse outside quickly knocked on the door. "Madam, is that you? Madam?"

"No, Aunt Chen, it's me, Xuefu," Mu Xuefu replied as she hurriedly picked up the wooden box and hid it behind her back.

Upon recognizing Mu Xuefu's voice, Chen Ma seemed relieved. She pushed open the door and, seeing Mu Xuefu's expression, immediately sensed something was wrong.

Her gaze fell on the open drawer, and she slowly walked over.

"Miss, are you missing Madam?"

Mu Xuefu nodded. "I don't know where Mommy was taken by Ye Hanjue. I'm very worried about him."

Chen Ma walked over and caught a glimpse of Mu Xuefu's hand behind her back. She sighed and said, "Miss, don't hide it anymore, I saw everything."

Mu Xuefu looked up at Chen Ma in disbelief, "Chen Ma, how could you...?"

Chen Ma pulled her to sit down. "Miss, I came to the Mu family with Miss Lü back then. At that time, the original Madam of the Mu family had just passed away, and you were only six or seven years old. When Miss Lü was pregnant with you and Miss Shuyun, I delivered the babies. At that time, Miss Lü was in contact with both a wealthy man from Country C and your father. However, later, the wealthy man somehow lost contact, and your mother could only continue to be with the master. But in reality, your father is not this master of the Mu family."

Mu Xuefu felt her head buzzing. "What did you say? Aunt Chen?"

“Miss Xuefu, I know this might be hard to accept, but now that Miss Lü is missing and your adoptive father has become like this, I'm afraid you have no choice but to go to your biological father. He must have a way to help you find Miss Lü,” Chen Ma reminded her.

Her words suddenly brought Mu Xuefu to her senses. After thinking it over, she realized that Chen Ma's words made sense.

Although Mu Weizhang has indeed treated her well over the years, he is now struggling to protect himself and has no energy to save his mother or take good care of her. Most importantly, he is no match for Mu Tingxue and Ye Hanjue.

People strive for higher positions, while water flows downhill.

Mu Xuefu was not the kind of person who would let others trample on her. According to Chen Ma, her biological father, who was far away overseas, seemed to be quite powerful. Why not take this opportunity to have her biological father stand up for her and torment Gu Momo severely, making her pay back all the suffering and grievances she had endured during this time?

Mu Xuefu became more and more excited as she thought about it, and even couldn't wait to recognize her biological father.

But with Chen Ma still nearby, she dared not show any happiness. Instead, she pretended to be in disbelief, looking at Chen Ma with teary eyes, "Why is this happening, Chen Ma? I always thought I was my father's biological daughter. Why is this happening?"

Chen's mother hugged her tenderly and patted her back gently, saying, "Chen's mother understands that you may find it hard to accept at first, but Chen's mother is telling you this truth for your own good. You need to think more about your mother now. Her life or death is uncertain, and only your biological father can save her."

"I understand, Aunt Chen." Mu Xuefu leaned on her shoulder, her tone sounding very sad, but from an angle that Aunt Chen couldn't see, she gradually curled up the corners of her lips, revealing a hint of smugness.

Late at night, Mu Xuefu changed into black clothes, wore a mask and hat, picked up some luggage, and secretly slipped out of the Mu family home.

She secretly bought a flight to Country C in the early hours of tonight without telling Mu Weizhang. During her conversation with Chen Ma, she learned that her biological father was currently in Country C.

After getting off the plane, she went to the address where her mother had corresponded with him.

Before arriving at the villa, Mu Xuefu thought her biological father was just an ordinary wealthy man, but when he saw the mansion in front of him, which was comparable to the Ye family manor, he was completely stunned.

She was overjoyed and couldn't understand why her mother, with such a wealthy man, would have wronged herself by being Mu Weizhang's mistress for so many years and ultimately choose to marry him.
