Chapter 106 The Truth
Nangong Yan returned to the ancient city and went straight to his mother's yard. Nangong Ying looked at her brother and winked at Hongyu.
Nangong Yan watched his mother fiddling with the flowers and plants. She looked cool and gentle. Her personality was different from Xu Yueyao's, but her facial features and the feeling she gave were really similar. He really wanted to ask his mother if she had given birth to a daughter, but he couldn't bring himself to ask the question.
Mu Zhiqing saw that Nangong Yan seemed to be hesitant to speak and thought that he was worried about the Mu family.
"Ayan, you don't need to worry about the Mu family's affairs. You can't control them. Everything has its own destiny. The Mu family's downfall is a matter of time."
Mu Zhiqing remained cold and calm, as if the one who died was not her nephew, and the one who was captured was not her brother. During this period, her parents wanted to come and see her, but she refused. Even Nangong Mucheng couldn't stand it anymore and was driven away when he came to plead for mercy.
"Mom, I don't understand why you hate the Mu family so much. Why?" The mother in Nangong Yan's memory was gentle and cheerful. But since when did she become increasingly cold and indifferent, indifferent to everyone, including her father and even her sister.
Mu Zhiqing clenched her fists. She hated it. How could she not hate it? She was separated from her family by the Mu family's stupid ideas. When she thought of the child whom she had only seen once, she felt so heartbroken that she couldn't breathe.
Mu Zhiqing couldn't help but touch her heart, waiting for the piercing pain to disappear.
"mom"? Nangong Yan walked forward anxiously and looked at his mother's pale face. He regretted his impulsiveness a little and could not ask the questions he wanted to ask.
Mu Zhiqing waited for the momentary pain to disappear. She looked at Nangong Yan and thought that after so many years, it was time to put an end to this matter.
"Ayan, don't you want to know why? Don't your grandparents want to see me? Okay, let them come. There are some things you should know."
Mu Zhiqing said as she walked into the room, "Let everyone be here tomorrow at noon, I will give your Nangong family an explanation."
Nangong Yan looked at his mother and frowned. What on earth had happened? He immediately walked out of the yard to inform his father and then his grandparents.
"You said your mother is willing to see us," Master Mu Huaping looked at Nangong Yan excitedly.
Nangong Yan nodded and looked at him with a complicated expression. Over the years, their mother had been very cold to them, but they seemed to have never blamed her. I never thought about it this way before, but now that I think about it, it’s so weird.
After Nangong Yan left, Master Mu came to the Mu family ancestral hall and bowed again and again.
After Madam Mu knew about this, she walked around happily, "Great, our Mu family is saved."
Master Mu nodded. When he thought about how he had to live his life at the mercy of his daughter all these years, he felt a little unwilling. However, the fortune of the Mu family rested entirely on Mu Zhiqing, so he let it go.
On this side, Nangong Ying heard that her mother would also see her tomorrow, and she unconsciously touched her face and tidied her hair, with joy shining in her eyes.
The next day, the old couple Mu came to Nangong's house early. Nangong Mucheng, Nangong Yan and Nangong Ying had already arrived at Mu Zhiqing's yard. Mu Zhiqing was wearing a lavender dress and walked slowly and gracefully.
Old Madam Mu looked at her daughter, covering her mouth with her hands, her eyes moist. This cruel little girl was really so cruel that she had ignored them all these years.
"Zhiqing, ask the Nangong family to help your brother, you help them," Master Mu looked at her and walked forward and said anxiously.
"How can I help? Father, I have a son and a daughter. You can see which one of them is the trouble this time and which one has affected the fortune of the Mu family." Mu Zhiqing pointed at Nangong Yan and Nangong Ying and said to him.
Madam Mu looked at her sadly and said angrily, "You still blame us? That incident was not only for the Mu family, but also for you. That child will kill you."
"Hahahaha, how ridiculous! Just because of a stinky Taoist priest and his nonsense, you killed another child of mine."
Mu Zhiqing’s face turned pale and she screamed in pain. She pointed at Nangong Ying, "This, didn't you say this is a lucky star? Why, didn't she bring any blessings to the Mu family?
Nangong Mucheng and Nangong Yan, brother and sister, were completely confused. Nangong Musheng looked at Mu Zhiqing and asked in confusion: "What are you talking about? What child? Where did the child come from?"
Mu Zhiqing looked at him, then looked at Nangong Ying, and told her everything that had happened.
At first I was pregnant with twins, but the Mu family had passed down a tradition from generation to generation that twins were unlucky and one had to be eliminated.
Nangong Mucheng nodded. There were many families in the ancient city that had this tradition. He had indeed heard of it. However, he looked at Mu Zhiqing's belly and said, "But you are not pregnant with twins."
Mu Zhiqing shook her head and said with a miserable smile, "I am pregnant with twins. From the moment I knew I was pregnant with twins, I was very cautious. I didn't dare tell anyone. I specifically told the female doctor not to tell anyone that I was pregnant with twins."
But, mother, you are so powerful. You guessed it just by looking at me from a distance. When I was about to give birth, you asked Nangong Mucheng to take me back in the name of celebrating my birthday. After you beat him away, you ignored my body and fed me medicine to induce labor. I went through many dangers and finally gave birth to two daughters. You even ignored my reputation and couldn't wait to let that stinky Taoist priest see which one was the lucky star and which one was the unlucky one.
You took that ominous child away. I only looked at her once, just once, and then she disappeared. Mu Zhiqing said to her parents painfully.
"Why do you keep thinking about that child? Aying is right in front of you, why don't you do anything?"
Madam Mu did not understand her stubbornness. The master said that the child was unlucky and foreshadowed future disasters, so the baby must be killed to avoid disaster.
"Aying, Aying is a lucky star. Isn't it enough to have you love her?"
Mu Zhiqing looked at Nangong Ying who turned around. When she was four years old, she burned to death the puppy that A Yan brought from outside. She was still a child standing there smiling happily. At that moment, she knew that the Mu family had made the wrong choice, so she kept thinking about that child and felt sorry for that child.
"Zhiqing, this thing has already happened, you should not live in the past anymore. Now, only you can save your brother, so please save your brother."
Mr. Mu said to her, but his eyes were on Nangong Mucheng. In all his life, he had never seen a family head who listened to his wife so much. What a loser, what a loser.
"Go and find that child. As long as you find that child, I will let my eldest brother come out."
"But the child is dead." Madam Mu reminded. The child had weak breathing when he was born and was thrown into the mountains where there were poisonous snakes and other animals. It was impossible for him to survive.
Mu Zhiqing sneered, "She is not dead. Find her and bring her back the same way you sent her away. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that the Mu family will not be destroyed."
