Chapter Sixteen: Some of the Truths of the Past
As for why she brought up Mu Xiangbei's extramarital affair and illegitimate child, it was because she only later learned that Mu Xiangbei had always planned to take everything from Mu Qingrong and then let his mistress into the family.
Mu Xiangbei was so vicious that he didn't even spare his own son! He was the one who caused Mu Qingrong's later tragedy.
Mu Xiangbei knew that when Old Master Mu was alive, he would not have tolerated Mu Qingrong marrying his mistress and acknowledging his illegitimate child. He didn't love his first wife, so he didn't love Mu Qingrong either. Not loving her wasn't the problem; what mattered was that he had always wanted everything from Mu Qingrong—the inheritance left to her by her mother and the inheritance left to her by Old Master Mu!
Mu Xiangbei wanted it all! And he also wanted to personally send his own son to hell!
"Xiao Rong, stop having illusions about Mu Xiangbei. Stop having illusions about father-son relationships! He doesn't deserve to be your father..." The things that happened after the apocalypse hadn't happened yet, and Mu Qingyu didn't know how to explain to Mu Qingrong that her father was a beast, so she was also in a bit of a dilemma.
"Sister, I know." Mu Qingrong smiled, and said as if to comfort Mu Qingrong, "I've known what he's like for a long time. When Mom passed away, she told me a lot... Grandpa... Grandpa also told me a lot."
"Grandpa also said that if he passes away, I should move out of here immediately and go to Muxiang Garden. He also said that I probably can't hold onto the main house, but it doesn't matter, let them take it. When they fight each other to the death and the house is sold, Grandpa has another will..." Mu Qingrong said softly. He didn't know the specific contents of the other will, but he guessed that it was probably a will that could provide Xiaoyu with other guarantees.
Mu Qingyu was quite surprised; she was unaware of the hidden will, something Mu Qingrong hadn't mentioned in her previous life. However, upon reflection, it made sense. In her previous life, until the apocalypse, the two Mu brothers, Mu Xiangnan and Mu Qingrong, hadn't managed to sell the main house. Naturally, the hidden will hadn't been triggered.
The siblings reunited six months after the apocalypse, so discussing a will was pointless. Therefore, Mu Qingrong from the previous life never mentioned it.
Mu Qingyu guessed that Grandpa Mu knew the temperaments of his two good-for-nothing sons well, and probably guessed that the main house would be sold sooner or later, so he might as well let them make a fuss first. Once they were tired of making a fuss, they would be at peace after the house was sold.
What the old man probably never expected was that he thought his good-for-nothing son was just causing trouble, but he never imagined that they would actually take risks for money! They would actually kill people!
So in this life, Mu Qingyu still gave up the house; she took Mu Xiangyuan, which was exactly what Mu Xiangbei wanted.
Mu Xiangbei not only wanted the main house, but he also wanted Mu Xiangyuan. Mu Qingrong seemed introverted and obedient, but after all these years, he still hadn't managed to get his hands on the inheritance left to Mu Qingrong by her mother. So, subconsciously, he thought it might be much easier to get something from Mu Qingyu than from Mu Qingrong.
"Sister, I wouldn't have signed if you hadn't said you wanted Mu Xiangyuan," Mu Qingrong said earnestly.
Mu Qingyu grabbed Mu Qingrong's hand: "Since you know Mu Xiangbei isn't a good person, then come with me tonight. Don't ask why; you'll understand some things in the future."
There are many things that Mu Qingyu finds difficult to explain, such as the impending apocalypse and the things she will know after it happens. Moreover, she herself still has many unanswered questions.
For example, she used to think that her cousin was too naive and kind and still had expectations of her father, which is why he handed over Mu Xiangyuan and the Blood Jade Bracelet.
Mu Qingyu discovered that many of the supplies in Mu Xiaoxiao's previous life's spatial storage originated from Mu Xiangyuan. Although Mu Qingyu had never opened the other warehouses in Mu Xiangyuan, as the current owner, she could see the storage lists, so she now knew exactly which items were stored in which warehouse of Mu Xiangyuan!
So now Mu Qingyu understands why, even though the main house of the Mu family wasn't sold in her previous life, Mu Xiaoxiao still had so many resources.
In her past life, Mu Qingyu truly believed that Mu Xiaoxiao was a space-type ability user. The reason she snatched back the bracelet on the day of her rebirth was because when she met Mu Xiaoxiao again in her past life, the bright red bracelet on Mu Xiaoxiao's wrist was dazzlingly bright.
She hadn't cared about the bracelet at first, but at that moment, she just wanted to take back what was rightfully hers. She never expected that Mu Qingrong would give her another bracelet; the two bracelets merged, revealing a hidden space.
Mu Qingyu only realized after discovering the space that Mu Xiaoxiao was not a space-type ability user at all; she actually possessed the Blood Jade Space.
But this also brought Mu Qingyu another question—after her spatial fusion, the bracelet disappeared after turning into a cinnabar mole on her wrist. However, in her previous life, Mu Xiaoxiao always wore those blood jade bracelets; every time she appeared, the jingling bracelets were more eye-catching than Mu Xiaoxiao herself!
These mysteries cannot be solved for the time being, and Mu Qingyu doesn't have much time to think about such issues. The most urgent task is to take Mu Qingrong away to the post-apocalyptic fortress she has already built!
Mu Qingrong frowned slightly. He moved his lips as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't ask anything. After thinking for a while, he said, "Okay, let's go! Anyway, Grandpa is gone!"
After a while, he revealed the mysterious expression typical of teenagers preparing to do something naughty and asked Mu Qingyu, "Sister, I'm going to pack some things quietly. I have to take everything my mom gave me! Then we'll jump out the window and run away!"
Mu Qingyu was amused by him, but looking at the boy's lively expression, she couldn't help but burst into tears. Thank God for giving her a second chance and for giving her back everything that was best!
"Why are you running away!" Mu Qingyu gently tapped Mu Qingrong's forehead: "We're not thieves, why are you jumping out of the window to escape! You try jumping out, I'll admit defeat if your leg doesn't break!"
Mu Qingrong chuckled twice, then looked a little worried: "But I have a lot of things, how am I going to take them all?"
Mu Qingyu gently nudged him: "Tell me where the thing is, then you quietly go downstairs and sneak away. Don't shoot! There's a car at the door. Get in and wait for me. I'll be right there."
Although Mu Qingrong didn't understand what she meant and was full of questions, she still obediently did as she was told. She took the car keys given to her by Mu Qingyu and quietly went downstairs like a thief.
Following Mu Qingrong's instructions, Mu Qingyu first put all the jewelry, stocks, bonds, futures, bankbooks, bank cards, and other items left to him by Mu Qingrong's mother into his spatial storage.
After thinking about it for a while, a mischievous idea suddenly popped into her head!
