Lin Xuyang, in the basement, dared not make a sound. Mu Wanqing had really wanted to kill them just now.
He racked his brains again and again, trying to figure out where he had offended her. He wanted the Mu family, but he hadn't succeeded yet.
"You good-for-nothing! Following you has been such bad luck! Now I'm being tortured like this by a lunatic! I want to get out! Waaah..."
Bai Shuangjiang groaned weakly. Although she had taken the fasting pill, the constant torment she endured every day was taking away most of her life.
Lin Xuyang looked up at the ceiling, wondering if he would ever be able to leave again.
Mu Wanqing held the white porcelain bottle, the last of the poisons. Unconsciously, she opened her phone and went into a shopping app.
"Ding-dong~"
She jolted awake; another notification had arrived.
"The Spirit Rhinoceros Heart-Eating Gu, once planted, is bound together by fate and cannot be separated by more than 100 meters, otherwise it will suffer the pain of being devoured by the heart. Ten years later, the Heart-Eating Gu breaks out of the body, and the host dies from the loss of its heart."
The Ten-Fragrance Bewitching Powder causes the user to lose their senses and fall into a coma. Upon waking ten days later, the user will forget everything that happened within the past month.
This was practically tailor-made for her, so she placed an order without hesitation. But when she checked the store again, it was gone.
Mu Wanqing had gotten used to its elusive nature. As long as it didn't have any ill intentions towards her, what did it matter whether she saw it or not?
The torment she had endured during this period had already released the pent-up frustration in her heart, and keeping them alive would only be a nuisance. However, she was unwilling to let them die like this.
Now is the perfect time to let them suffer and get rid of the trouble.
Mu Wanqing contacted the mercenary from before again and secretly threw the two of them at the gate of the Lin family.
Only then did Mu Wanqing let go of the deep hatred in her heart. From now on, she would live a happy life with her mother, so that her life would not have been in vain.

Xiao Li stood at the front gate at six o'clock sharp; it was her birthday. Mu Wanqing had said she would come back tonight to celebrate her birthday.
She had the family chef prepare a sumptuous dinner and is now just waiting for her beloved daughter to come home for the meal.
A Maybach came to a stop silently. Mu Wanqing got out of the car, said goodbye to Zhou Li inside, and walked towards Xiao Li.
After watching the Maybach drive away, Xiao Li said to Mu Wanqing, "Why didn't you invite your friends over for a visit?"
"It's just the two of us tonight. I want to properly celebrate my mom's birthday and don't want any outsiders to disturb us. I'll bring her back next time I have the chance."
The two entered the dining room together.
"Qingqing, your favorite sweet and sour pork is made by Mommy tonight."
Xiao Li smiled kindly. The mission went very smoothly. Her beloved daughter was back, and she no longer had to worry about her turning evil. She was so happy.
Mu Wanqing placed a piece of stir-fried pork on Xiaoli's plate, saying, "Mom, you should eat more too."
Xiao Li ate the meat in one bite; it was delicious.
Mu Wanqing's expression changed slightly, but she returned to normal a moment later.
"Mom, try this tomato and egg stir-fry. Auntie's cooking skills are getting better and better. I can tell it's her cooking as soon as I taste it."
Xiao Li nodded and ate the scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
The two were in a warm and cozy mood, and Xiao Li's good mood lasted until she went to bed, when Mu Wanqing brought over some milk.
"Mom, drink some milk before you go to sleep. You'll sleep better that way."
Xiao Li raised an eyebrow. Mu Wanqing was so considerate tonight. She even wanted to have a daughter, but she had to be this considerate. She wouldn't like someone who was too naughty.
She drank everything her beloved daughter brought her, without hesitation.
To her surprise, Mu Wanqing stared at her for a moment, then hugged her and started crying. She cried so loudly that it shook the heavens and the earth, and Mu Wanqing was completely disoriented by her cries.
What's wrong?
"Master, she may have discovered it."
Thinking about Mu Wanqing's attentiveness and thoughtfulness tonight, Xiao Li secretly realized that she had been too careless.
It took Mu Wanqing a long while to calm down.
Where is my mother?
"My mom eats stir-fried pork but never eats chili peppers, and she never eats tomatoes when she eats scrambled eggs with tomatoes. She also dislikes drinking milk. Who are you? And where is my mom?"
Xiao Li hadn't expected this girl to be so perceptive; she had noticed it after only eating a few dishes. After a long silence, she finally spoke.
"Yes, I am not your mother. She asked me to protect you and make you happy for the rest of your life."
Mu Wanqing looked at her mother through teary eyes. Her mother had been very good to her, and she was the one who had secretly helped her.
"Your mother is fine. She has been reincarnated. Don't worry about her. As long as you are doing well, she will be fine too."
"Really?"
"Yes, her only wish is for you. As long as you are happy, she will have no regrets."
Mu Wanqing seemed to understand. She wiped away her tears, picked up her cup, and went downstairs.
The two seemed to have forgotten what happened that night. Mu Wanqing still gave Xiaoli gifts on every holiday, and they would go on trips together on weekends, enjoy delicious food, and take photos to commemorate the occasion...
Xiao Li is also a doting daughter who loves her daughter wholeheartedly.
I only heard that Lin Xuyang and Bai Shuangjiang, who were found, had their legs broken and had to stay in bed for three months to recover.
★
Lin Xuyang and Bai Shuangjiang mysteriously reappeared ten days after their disappearance. Even stranger, they had no memory of anything that happened within the past month.
The doctors performed many tests on them, but still couldn't find any problems.
However, he and Bai Shuangjiang could not be separated. If they were more than a hundred meters apart, they would both feel unbearable heartache.
Even if Lin's mother was very dissatisfied with this daughter-in-law, she could only grit her teeth and accept it, since her son couldn't live without her.
This Heart-Eating Gu has a side effect: it will gnaw on the heart every full moon night, so the two of them have to suffer from severe heart pain every month.
This can be considered interest.
The Lin family has shrunk considerably, and coupled with the recent period of mismanagement and the suppression from the Mu and Zhou families, the Lin family has gone bankrupt.
After settling accounts, they had very little savings left, so the family moved from a small apartment to a small three-bedroom apartment in a building with an elevator.
Every month, Lin Xuyang would complain of heart pain, and seeing a doctor would incur a huge expense, completely ruining the Lin family. In the end, Lin Xuyang had no money for medical treatment and could only endure the pain.
The family lost their income and had to find odd jobs, but Mu Wanqing had people watching them, so no one dared to hire them. They could only do odd jobs.
Lin's father, despite his advanced age, still worked as a doorman. He dared not resist or resign even when scolded. Lin's mother and Bai Shuangjiang worked as laundry and dishwashing workers. In winter, their hands swelled up like steamed buns and were covered in chilblains.
Lin Xuyang, on the other hand, stayed at home and sponged off his parents. He was unwilling to ask for help, fearing ridicule, so he could only drink the cheapest liquor at home to numb himself.
This is their retribution; the cause of their past life has brought them the effect of this life. They have no one to blame but themselves.
Mu Wanqing worked very hard. After graduation, she went to the Mu Group, which took the group to new heights under her leadership.
Although Zhou Li's covert protection was indispensable, Mu Wanqing's abilities were also undeniable.
She rose to the position of chairperson based on her own abilities.
