Chapter 392 She Will Be Whipped
Qi Luohan was very touched, but the matter needed to be investigated first.
Mrs. Xiang thought for a moment and said, "Let's not tell Miss Mu for now. We can check the surveillance footage privately."
Before Qi Luohan could answer, his cell phone suddenly rang. It was Mu Xue calling.
"Luo Han, I saw on the news on my phone that something happened at home. Sister Xiang is still at home. Have you gone back to see her?"
Mu Xue's voice was a little anxious and worried. She spoke sincerely and sounded really worried about Axiang's wife.
Qi Luohan paused for a few seconds and said, "Sister Xiang is fine, she was just a little frightened."
"With such a huge explosion, are you really okay?"
Mu Xue was very suspicious. The follow-up news did not mention how many people died or were injured. She was browsing her phone while shopping in the mall, but there was no more news about the casualties in the explosion on Qi Luohan's flat.
"Well, what's wrong?"
Qi Luohan's question made Mu Xue slightly stunned. Could it be that Sister Xiang didn't even have a scratch on her skin? She said with embarrassment.
"I was afraid something might happen to the servants. I'm glad they're alright."
In the past, Qi Luohan would not pay attention to Mu Xue’s reaction to him or anything, but after this inexplicable explosion, he had to be more wary of Mu Xue.
"You don't sound happy."
Qi Luohan didn't know if he was being overly suspicious, but Mu Xue's voice did sound somewhat lost. It was as if she was hoping something bad would happen to Sister Xiang.
"How could that be? I was just tired from shopping. I was afraid you would go home like before and that something might happen to you at home. I called to ask about it as soon as I saw the news. Fortunately, Sister Xiang is fine too, so that's good."
Qi Luohan felt that his intuition was correct, and Mu Xue was very strange.
He said calmly: "Where are you now?"
Mu Xue looked around and said, "I'm going to buy some things at the mall. How about you pick me up after get off work? I'll send you the address now."
Qi Luohan said okay, and they both hung up the phone at the same time.
Mu Xue wandered around the mall and picked out some things she liked but couldn't bear to buy. She used Qi Luohan's card to pay for everything. In the two years that she had been with Qi Luohan, her spending power had skyrocketed. She could now buy many things that she couldn't afford before. Qi Luohan really doted on her.
She can use the card given to her at will. If it is maxed out, she can just switch to another one. Following Qi Luohan, Mu Xue feels an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.
She had her eyes on a dress and asked the clerk to take it down for her to try on. Then she saw the elegant face opposite her. The woman also noticed her. After their eyes met, Mu Xue weakly called out, "Mom?"
"Mu Xue?"
Mrs. Mu couldn't believe her eyes. Her daughter had been missing for two years, with no trace of her body found. Even she had given up looking for her. She didn't expect to meet her in a shopping mall, which was only a ten-minute drive from the Mu family.
Mu Xue was scared. If she had chosen a place farther away from the Mu family, she wouldn't have run into her biological mother by chance. But this place was close to Qi Luohan's company.
"Mu Xue, you're not dead, you're still alive. That's great."
When Mrs. Mu saw her daughter almost losing control, tears instantly flowed down her face. Mu Xue's eyes also became moist. The mother and daughter found an inconspicuous place to sit down and chat while drinking coffee.
"Where on earth have you been? Mom has been crying every day since you disappeared. I thought you were dead."
Mrs. Mu wiped her tears. Mu Xue couldn't tell her that she was with Qi Luohan now, nor did she want to tell her.
"Mom, I'm doing well, you don't have to worry about me. I'm free after leaving the Mu family."
She said this, but in fact, she could never leave the control of the Mu family, never.
"I know even if you don't say it, that you don't want to stay in that house anymore. I understand, and it's okay if you don't go back. Your dad's mind isn't on you and your sister anyway."
When Mu Xue heard Mrs. Mu mention Mu Wu, her body trembled.
"Wuwu, do you know where she is?"
Mrs. Mu wiped her eyes and said, "She pleases your father better than you do. She loves to play. She said she wanted to go to Tibet. Your father gave her a card and she left without contacting me. Forget it. I'm too lazy to talk about your sister."
Mu Xue's heart slowly settled down. It seemed that she, a simple mother, would never know what happened at home.
However, for some people, not knowing the truth for their entire lives is actually the greatest kindness to them.
Mrs. Mu looked at Mu Xue, as if she could never see enough of her.
"Your dad is such a beast. Mom has been trying to find you for the past two years, but he wouldn't let me call the police or pay for you to come back. He even said you might have run away with someone because you were in a relationship. Mom has no choice but to think about you every day because she can't get over your dad."
Mu Xue knew that her mother had no status in the Mu family and that Mu Guoyan had the final say.
The two sisters are openly the daughters of the Mu family, but except for themselves, no one knows that she and her sister Mu Wu are just pawns in Mu Guoyan's hands.
When he wants to use them, they have to listen to Mu Guoyan.
Because Mu Guoyan threatened them with Mrs. Mu and the grandmother who had to rely on nutrient solution to stay alive in the hospital.
Oh--
She's afraid she'll never be able to be herself again in this life.
However, Mu Guoyan also promised her that he would set her free if she helped him complete the last task, and also promised to give her a generous dowry so that she could marry Qin Hao.
Speaking of which, she and Qin Hao haven't been in contact for the past two years. She doesn't know how he is doing or whether he has thought about her.
The day before she disappeared, Qin Hao had a quarrel with her. She cried and asked Qin Hao to swear that if he loved her, he would wait for her for three years.
Qin Hao swore and said that he would marry her in this life.
She lied to Qin Hao and said she was going to study abroad, but because her major involved confidential information, she couldn't contact him for three years. Qin Hao also promised her that he would wait for her to come back.
Now there is still a year left, and she didn't expect that there would be a big change in the middle of the mission given to her by Li Mu Guoyan. She thought that it might not be long before she could complete this mission ahead of time, which means that she can meet Qin Hao again.
"Mom, don't worry, I will return to the Mu family sooner or later."
She wants to go back in glory and as a free person.
Mrs. Mu hesitated to speak, and Mu Xue noticed it.
"Mom, do you have anything to say?"
She thought Mrs. Mu must be trying to persuade her, telling her not to return to the Mu family. She knew her limits. Mu Guoyan had promised to give her freedom, and by that time, she would not be controlled by anyone.
"Have you contacted Qin Hao?"
Mu Xue shook her head: "I have my concerns."
Mrs. Mu said clearly, "Mom also thinks you won't look for him again. After all, you want to leave the Mu family, and his father and your father are business partners. If you have any contact with him, he will definitely tell your father."
Not contacting Qin Hao was not her main concern. She was afraid that she would not be able to help but look for him. After all, the person she really loved was Qin Hao, not Qi Luohan. She was just acting well in front of him.
She was playing the template of a woman that every man wants, and clearly, she succeeded.
Mrs. Mu sighed and consoled him, "Forget it. There are plenty of men. Just find another one. That Qin Hao is nothing special. There are so many talented young men in Rongcheng. We won't have trouble finding a man."
Mu Xue chuckled: "Mom, what are you talking about? Before I left, Qin Hao promised that he would marry no one else in this life. I believe he will wait for me and will not lie to me."
Mrs. Mu looked at Mu Xue with disbelief.
"What did you say? Did Qin Hao know you would leave?"
Why didn't she, as a mother, know this?
Mu Xue let the cat out of the bag and quickly tried to make amends.
"I don't know, but I believe he will wait for me. He said he would love me forever and only me in this life."
Mrs. Mu was dumbfounded and didn't know what to say to comfort her daughter.
"You are completely unaware of what's happening in the outside world in Rongcheng, aren't you?"
Mrs. Mu didn't dare ask if he was being controlled. She was afraid the answer would be yes. The first person she thought of was Mu Guoyan. This beast was capable of anything.
Back then, her Han family recruited Mu Guoyan as their son-in-law. Before Mu Guoyan achieved anything, he was even a dog in the Han family, licking her and Old Man Han every day. When the older generation of the Han family were almost dead, Mu Guoyan finally revealed his true colors.
He seized all the property of the Han family, and Mrs. Mu became a decoration from then on. Mu Guoyan lived a life of debauchery and played with women everywhere, and no one could stop him.
What made Mrs. Mu most angry was that he even took her best friend into his trousers. This man was too shameless. But Mrs. Mu was old and had let go of many things. She wanted a divorce, but Mu Guoyan would not allow it. This was the only way she could live her life.
Mu Xue said indifferently: "Mom, I am living well now and don't need to know any news."
Mrs. Mu's eyes flickered slightly: "Don't you know about Qin Hao's engagement?"
Mu Xue's expression froze instantly.
"Qin Hao is engaged? Impossible."
She didn't believe it. How could it be possible? How could Qin Hao be engaged to someone else? He said he would wait for her.
"Mom, you must have made a mistake. Many people are jealous of me and Qin Hao being together. You must have made a mistake. He said that."
Mu Xue didn't believe it. Mrs. Mu had tears in her eyes. It seemed that her silly daughter had indeed been deceived.
"Men's words are deceitful. How could you believe him when he said he would wait for you? Every man needs a woman by his side, especially a man like Qin Hao who is handsome and has a good family background. When you were his girlfriend, many people were already eyeing him covetously. What's more, you were gone for two years. Which man can stand the loneliness?"
Mu Xue's tears instantly flowed down her face: "No, you must be mistaken."
She wanted to go back and ask Qin Hao for clarification. After Mu Xue calmed down, she looked at Mrs. Mu and asked, "What's the name of Qin Hao's fiancée? Who is she?"
Mrs. Mu sighed: "Li Tiantian."
boom--
This name was like a bolt of thunder, shocking Mu Xue so much that she swayed and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Mrs. Mu supported her in time.
"Daughter, why are you so stupid?"
"No, Li Tiantian is my good friend. How could it be——"
How could she be together with her boyfriend? Mrs. Mu was even more angry about Li Tiantian than Mu Xue.
"You also know that she is your good friend. I'm just afraid that she has never considered you a friend. If she really considered you a friend, how could she have snatched Qin Hao away?
Not only that, your father has even brought her into the company as the financial director. I disagreed when she first came to stay with us, but you refused to listen. Now you know what it means to invite a wolf into your home."
Mrs. Mu hated her daughter for being too naive and also hated herself for being too useless.
Mu Xue's emotions were almost out of control: "I want to go back to find her and find out what's going on with them."
At this time, Mu Xue's cell phone rang. It was Qi Luohan's exclusive ringtone. The ringtone instantly brought her back to reality. She felt like she was hit by a club. Mrs. Mu looked at Mu Xue in surprise.
"Have you had any friends in the past two years? Who are you with? Does mom know them?"
Mu Xue looked at Qi Luohan's phone call and didn't dare to answer it in front of Mrs. Mu.
"Mom, it's not a friend, it's just a harassing advertising call."
Fortunately, Qi Luohan's phone call brought Mu Xue back to her senses, otherwise she would have broken down on the spot.
"Are you okay?"
Mrs. Mu looked at her daughter's panic and said worriedly.
"Mom, I'm leaving now. Don't tell anyone about what happened to me today."
She couldn't leave yet. If Qi Luohan knew that she had returned to the Mu family, he would never trust her again. She still had a year to complete her mission before she could leave. If she left now, all her efforts would be wasted.
Mrs. Mu naturally wouldn't tell anyone, she was just worried about her daughter.
"Be careful about everything when mom is not by your side. If you can avoid going back to the Mu family, then don't go back. And that Qin Hao, forget about him. His wedding with Li Tiantian is next week. Ah Xue, mom is doing this for your own good."
Mu Xue's eyes went dark, but she managed to stand steady. She forced a smile.
"Mom, I understand. I'm leaving now. Bye."
Mu Xue left, but she only left Mrs. Mu's sight. Whenever Mrs. Mu went out, bodyguards would follow her closely. If she stayed with Mrs. Mu for too long, it would be bad if someone saw them.
After watching Mu Tai go away, Mu Xue called Qi Luohan back.
"Luo Han?"
The voice is gentle and soft.
Qi Luohan's eyes turned visibly cold. He was standing not far from Mu Xue just now and saw her talking to the wife of the Mu family.
Qi Luohan knew all the people in the business world. He remembered Mu Xue saying that she ran away from the Mu family, but seeing that she seemed to have a good relationship with Mrs. Mu, the word "ran away" probably had to be put in quotation marks.
"Where are you? I'll be there soon."
When he called Mu Xue, he saw her holding the phone right under her nose, but she didn't answer it. She didn't call him until Mrs. Mu was far away. Qi Luohan saw it all. So, what was Mu Xue hiding? Or, what was she hiding only from him?
Mu Xue was a little cautious when she spoke to Qi Luohan. She didn't know if anyone had seen her talking to Mrs. Mu just now. She said calmly, "I'm still in the mall. Where are you?"
Qi Luohan lied: "At the door, you can see me when you come out."
Mu Xue stood at the entrance of the mall waiting for Qi Luohan. When he appeared in front of her, Mu Xue's eyes showed Qi Luohan's extreme tenderness.
"Are you off work?"
Mu Xue threw herself directly into Qi Luohan's arms.
"Not yet. You said I was worried about you at the mall, so I came to pick you up. This place is not far from the Mu family, and I was afraid that someone from there might accidentally run into you and harass you, so I hurried over to check on you."
"oh."
Mu Xue felt a little guilty, she looked at Qi Luohan.
"Where's Axiang's wife? I thought you would bring her with you. How is things at home now?"
Qi Luohan's eyes flickered slightly. "I asked her to go back first and asked the housekeeper to clean the house. Fortunately, the firefighters were there when the fire started and rescued us in time. No one and no property were lost. I was just planning to take you back to see if there was any damage."
Mu Xue's heart sank slightly. Damn it, how could it be such a coincidence? Mrs. Axiang was really lucky. According to Mu Xue's idea, there was so much flour next to the gas stove. If it encountered an open flame and exploded, even if she dodged in time, she would at least be seriously injured. But she didn't expect the fire truck to be right next to it.
The strangest thing is that Axiang’s wife was not injured at all. How could that be possible?
"It's a blessing in disguise."
Mu Xue casually said a few words to express her relief.
Qi Luohan took her into the car and glanced at her face in the rearview mirror.
"Axiang's wife is fine, don't worry. The house is saved. I let her go back to the old house. She is preparing dinner and waiting for us to go back."
Mu Xue said "Oh" awkwardly, and Qi Luohan felt that she was inexplicably depressed.
Not only was Axiang's wife's affairs different from what she expected, but what made Mu Xue most heartbroken and distracted was Qin Hao and Li Tiantian. When did they get together?
She will have to go back sooner or later. Qi Luohan saw that Mu Xue looked unhappy.
"What's wrong? Are you worried?"
Mu Xue was afraid that Qi Luohan would become suspicious, so she immediately put on her usual sweet smile.
"No, every day with you is very happy and fulfilling. There is no reason for worry."
Qi Luohan's black eyes flashed slightly, most of Mu Xue's words were lies.
He mentioned it casually.
"When I went to look for you just now, I seemed to see you chatting with a middle-aged woman?"
Mu Xue's heart trembled, and the panic in her eyes was caught by Qi Luoyan. So it was definitely Mrs. Mu that he saw just now, otherwise Mu Xue wouldn't have reacted so strongly.
Mu Xue forced a smile and said, "I don't know her. She just came to ask for directions. She wanted to know which floor the dining area was on, so I pointed it out to her."
Mu Xue made up an excuse. She didn't know how much Qi Luohan had seen or how long he had seen it. Since he didn't appear in front of her and her mother, then he couldn't have heard her conversation with her mother.
She concluded that Qi Luoyan was just testing her, and as long as she wasn't caught red-handed, she would refuse to admit it.
Furthermore, her relationship with the Mu family was indeed not good, and she had not fallen out with her biological mother. This was something everyone knew.
Qi Luohan withdrew his gaze from her, turned the steering wheel steadily and focused all his attention on the road ahead. He said "Oh" lightly and did not pursue the matter any further.
She was obviously her biological mother, so why didn't Mu Xue admit it? Regardless of the relationship between Mu Xue and Mu, for Qi Luohan, this was not something to be ashamed of. He didn't understand why Mu Xue would lie to him.
The more Qi Luohan interacted with Mu Xue, the more suspicious things he felt about her. It was no wonder that Qi Luohan suspected Mu Xue. In fact, he had been wary of Mu Xue since they met two years ago.
Her obedience, her thoughtfulness, and her gentleness all seemed like an atmosphere deliberately created, but for Qi Luohan, he had indeed lived a happy life in the past two years with Mu Xue.
With Mu Xue around, he felt like he had another beautiful and eloquent person. Only Mu Xue would not look at him differently, thinking that he was an unambitious young master of the Qi family who had no ability at all. She would not treat him as a hopeless person and would give him full emotional value.
In fact, he also thought that Mu Xue was with him for other reasons. She wanted the fame and fortune of the Qi family and wanted a stable life and endless money.
Everything Qi Luohan got from her was enough to support him through any difficulties, including the death of Mrs. Qi and Mr. Qi. With her by his side, Qi Luohan was able to survive these most difficult days.
Therefore, he felt that no matter what Mu Xue's purpose was, he would keep Mu Xue by his side, even if he had doubts about her. However, Mu Xue had been well-behaved in the past two years, rarely going out, not spending money lavishly, and not asking him for any special gifts. Therefore, he hardly paid much attention to her.
What really caught his attention was Mu Xue's unusual behavior after her parents passed away. For example, seeing her smoking on the balcony was not the image of the gentle and considerate girl he had seen her in the past two years. The way she crossed her legs and blew smoke rings into the air was very much like a bar hostess.
Qi Luohan felt indescribably strange. She had been throwing tantrums and smashing things in her room, and the fire and explosion in the house this time were most likely her fault.
Qi Luohan still hadn't figured out what this woman wanted from following him. Ever since what happened to Qi Luoyan, Qi Luohan no longer believed that there was love without reason in this world.
His parents had died too tragically, and the lesson too painful. Two lives exchanged for a love affair would be considered unworthy by anyone. Qi Luohan, heartbroken, knew there was no such thing as regret.
He didn't dare to follow in Qi Luoyan's footsteps, and he couldn't bear the consequences of emotional deception.
He immediately became alert when he found some clues from Mu Xue, but he was not such a person before.
In the past, he would be very pleased, happy, and even grateful for Mu Xue's concern, thinking that he was very lucky to meet Mu Xue in the most difficult times. Now he is not so sure.
He didn't want to expose Mu Xue for the time being, but he no longer believed her completely.
Qi Luohan drove the car into the underground parking lot. When he arrived at the door, he opened it with the fingerprint lock. Mu Xue was surprised to find that there was almost no change in the house, and it was the same as when he left.
So where exactly were the casualties from the so-called explosion and fire?
"I hired a housekeeping service center to come and clean my house, and a renovation company to renovate the kitchen walls and replace the broken appliances. It seems they're pretty quick."
Qi Luohan was very satisfied. His biggest request was to restore the place to its original state, as he and Mu Xue had lived here for two whole years. This was their beloved little nest, and he wanted everything to be as it was.
Mu Xue looked unhappy. The firefighters were really meddling in other people's business.
"Go back to your room and pack your things. Make sure you don't leave any clothes or daily necessities behind."
Mu Xue's face froze slightly, and she looked at Qi Luohan in confusion.
What did he mean by bringing her back and asking her to pack her bags? Did he discover her intentions and wanted to drive her away?
Mu Xue's fingertips were icy cold and her whole heart was cold.
She immediately put on an aggrieved expression, and after she sorted out her emotions, her eyes were immediately filled with tears.
"You can move back to my parents' old house later. We need to renovate this place, and no matter how good the renovation materials are, they might still contain formaldehyde. If you're not used to living here after a while, we can move back."
Mu Xue immediately retracted the expression she had prepared.
She was almost there, just a little bit short of pretending to be pitiful and begging Qi Luohan, crying in front of him and saying that she knew nothing about the flour.
Qi Luohan glanced at Mu Xue and thought she was weird.
"What's wrong? Are you crying?"
Looking at Mu Xuexuan's tearful expression, Qi Luohan was confused.
Mu Xue quickly composed herself, fearing that Qi Luohan would notice something was wrong with her.
"It's nothing. I just felt sad when you mentioned my uncle and aunt. If I hadn't been unable to show up in public, I wouldn't have missed seeing my uncle and aunt."
Fortunately, she reacted quickly. When Mr. and Mrs. Qi were mentioned, Qi Luohan was filled with regret. He forgot to think carefully about why Mu Xue's expression suddenly changed.
"My parents won't blame you, but if they were alive to see you, they would definitely like you as a daughter-in-law."
Qi Luohan murmured, and Mu Xue smiled in response, secretly feeling lucky that she was almost exposed.
By the time Mu Xue finished packing, the sunset had already set in the sky. After Mu Xue took out her daily necessities, she only had a small suitcase. Qi Luohan said she could fill in the rest if she needed anything else, but she refused.
"I'm used to using these things all the time, so there's no need to buy anything extra. No need to waste anything."
Mu Xue is so considerate. In the past two years, she has been following Qi Luohan with a credit card in hand, but Qi Luohan has never seen her buy any particularly expensive items, clothes, or jewelry for herself. She is not very interested in bags either.
Instead, she spent more time buying gifts for Qi Luohan. She knew what colors he liked, what brands he wore, and which restaurants he liked.
Ever since Qi Luohan noticed that Mu Xue was acting abnormally, he had been wondering what Mu Xue was trying to achieve by following him.
"You can go now."
Mu Xue naturally took his arm. Qi Luohan nodded and took the box from her hand. It was not heavy at all, probably just some clothes.
"Did you bring the jewelry I bought for you from the jewelry cabinet?"
Qi Luohan saw that his aunt liked jadeite, so he also bought some for Mu Xue.
"I put those in the bank safe."
She handed the key directly to Qi Luohan: "Here, take it. I've put all the keys you bought me in the past two years in the bank. I don't need them. If I keep them at home and they get robbed, it would be a big loss."
Qi Luohan was driving, and Mu Xue started to daydream after sitting in the passenger seat.
Qi Luohan glanced at her out of the corner of his eye. This was the third time Mu Xue had been in a daze today. She had never been like this before. It was probably after she met Mrs. Mu that she became like this.
"what's on your mind?"
Mu Xue came back to her senses.
"I was just thinking about where we were going to move to."
Qi Luohan said calmly, "My parents are gone now, and the old house can't be left empty. In fact, they have known for a long time that I have a girlfriend, and they have been trying to get me to take you back. But I always refuse. That is my parents' years of hard work, and I also hope to protect them."
The Qi family's rules dictate a three-year mourning period for the death of an elder. If he had known his parents would pass away so early, he would never have chosen to move out. No matter how shameful Mu Xue was, Mr. and Mrs. Qi would never tell anyone about her.
Mu Xue understood. It turned out that Qi Luohan had wanted to return to his parents' home for a long time, and it just so happened that they would move away this time with the help of this fire.
Mu Xue actually didn't care where she lived. She looked at Qi Luohan and asked weakly, "Will Sister Xiang live with us too?" She was extremely unwilling to do so.
Of course Qi Luohan would bring Sister Axiang with him. He originally wanted Sister Axiang to look after Mu Xue. Mu Xue was not a fool either. She vaguely felt that Qi Luohan was suspicious of her.
At present, I vaguely feel that Qi Luohan has become suspicious of me, and that Axiang's wife is here to monitor me.
"Axiangsao is an old servant of our family. She has been in the Qi family for many years. If my parents hadn't passed away, she would have stayed in the old house forever. To be honest, it was unfair for her to stay with me. Fortunately, there was this fire, and we moved back."
Mu Xue's face instantly became extremely ugly. Damn it, she was shooting herself in the foot.
The car drove into the yard. Mu Xue looked around. There were flowers, trees, and a unique courtyard. It was a good place for retirement. There were also mountains and forests around it. This villa was like a natural oxygen bar.
To be honest, Mu Xue actually likes this place very much, but it is a half-hour drive from Mu's home and is also far from the city.
She was extremely anxious and wanted to find out what was going on between Qin Hao and Li Tiantian.
If everything she did today didn't allow her to marry Qin Hao, then what was the point of her having freedom?
"Master, Miss Mu, you are back."
Mrs. Xiang had been waiting for them at the door. Two rows of servants were standing beside the path. When they saw Qi Luohan and Mu Xue, they bowed and greeted them at the same time, their voices shaking the sky.
Mu Xue almost buried her head in Qi Luohan's arms, and Qi Luohan instinctively hugged her.
"What's wrong?"
Mu Xue's face turned pale and her lips trembled.
"No, nothing, maybe low blood sugar. I'll just go upstairs and rest for a while."
She was frightened by the scene that was similar to that at the Mu family. Mu Guoyan also paid attention to this at home. There were a large group of servants, bodyguards, and maids at home, and there were workers in the garden. Every time they saw a member of the family, they would bow and greet them. This was the rule of the Mu family.
Mu Xue is the unwelcome eldest daughter at home. She instinctively feels disgusted and afraid when she sees the servants.
Because they had reported her too many times, every time they did, Mu Xue would be beaten to death by Mu Guoyan with a whip.
Qi Luohan could clearly feel that Mu Xue, who was trembling in his arms, was afraid, but he didn't know what she was afraid of.
"Axue, are you okay?"
Mu Xue was helped back to the room, and Sister Xiang brought her tea.
She glanced at Mu Xue and said, "Miss Mu, have some hot tea."
Qi Luohan didn't know what was wrong with Mu Xue. He had never seen her like this before.
Mu Xue's hand holding the cup was trembling, and finally Qi Luohan picked up the cup and slowly fed it into her mouth.
"What's going on?"
After thinking about it, it was only when the servant greeted her that she suddenly became abnormal.
Mu Xue looked at Qi Luohan indifferently, without any acting at all.
"When I was in the Mu family, the servants would stare at me all the time, find my faults, and then complain to my father. When my father came back, he would drag me into a small dark room and lock me up all night, or whip my back. So, I don't like servants."
