Zhu Yue thought that if that day ever came and she ruined her child, she might really muster the courage to perish together with the dark, giant cage-like Zhu family mansion.
When this chilling, seemingly cold-hearted thought suddenly flashed through Zhu Yue's mind, she was startled.
She suddenly smiled coldly, revealing a chilling smile. It seemed she really was Zhu Yue's daughter; deep within her bones and soul, there was such a terrifying and ruthless side hidden.
With a sorrowful and sad expression, Zhu Yue's eyes were red, and she tried hard not to let the tears that were welling up in her eyes fall.
She didn't know when it started, but such a strong desire to defy and disobey Zhu Qin arose in her heart.
Indeed, ever since she could remember, Zhu Qin had truly loved and cherished her daughter because of her intelligence, cleverness, and obedience.
At that time, Zhu Yue, who was naive and ignorant of the ways of the world, thought she had the best father in the world.
But after she read and became sensible and able to distinguish right from wrong, she inadvertently heard many people cursing Zhu Qin for being ruthless and cruel, worse than pigs and dogs. Then she learned about the sordid things Zhu Qin had done.
Almost at that moment, she felt as if the image of her father, whom she had always trusted, had collapsed. She couldn't believe it, but in her later careful investigation, she discovered that this was the truth.
Perhaps it was from that time that the seed of rebellion took root in her heart. She desperately longed to escape Zhu Qin's control and flee this suffocating, dark mansion.
At that time, Zhu Yue finally married the man she loved and escaped Zhu Qin's control for a period of time. However, her husband was forced to go to the front line of the border, and she gave birth to a child who was different from others.
When Zhu Yue saw her child's shockingly pale appearance, her first thought was not that the child was an anomaly or an ominous sign.
Instead, they felt that it was because Zhu Qin had done too many immoral things that God had punished her daughter.
Zhu Yue poured all her love and attention into this child.
Even so, she had moments of despair, but whenever she thought of the well-behaved, sensible, kind, and strong child she had cared for, she felt that it was all worth it.
Night falls, and the inky sky blankets the land of Kyoto.
Lord Mu, dressed in military attire, dismounted from his horse, and it was immediately clear that he had returned directly from the military camp.
When Mu Chenshuang went to see Lord Mu, Lord Mu had already changed out of his military uniform and into a plain-colored long robe.
"Father, have Zhu Qin and the Second Prince arrested all the people they wanted?" Mu Chenshuang felt uneasy about the reinvestigation of the Prince of Libei.
Lord Mu actually showed a rare hint of relief at this matter.
"Although the Second Prince is still protecting Zhu Qin and a few others, fortunately, those who fabricated evidence and submitted memorials to slander the Prince of Libei have all been arrested."
Lord Mu revealed a rare smile these past few days and said, "It can be considered an eye for an eye. Now, the families of these people have also been imprisoned, their homes have been confiscated, and the proceeds have been added to the national treasury."
"The national treasury?" Mu Chenshuang couldn't help but frown, pondering to herself.
