She remembered Wei Ziqin once asking her if she resented her birth mother.


    How could she resent her?


    How could she?


    That day, when she was sitting in the ancestral hall and mumbling to herself while holding her birth mother''s memorial tablet.


    Truthfully speaking, she really did not know what state of mind to face her with!


    Nor did she know how to scold her.


    That was her mom, her mom who gave birth to her and brought her to this world.


    Even if she had sunk to hell and suffered a lifetime of pain, that was still her mom…


    Moreover, Long Chuyun''s original intention was not to let her suffer.


    She just wanted her daughter to peacefully live a life without troubles. It was fine even if she was mediocre and could never return to the Divine Province her whole life.


    Did Long Chuyun love her? Of course she did, but the way she showed her love was wrong!


    Just as Qiao Mu said, putting up with this suffering would not make the enemy give up on cornering them.


    They would only time and time again harm them with cruel methods.


    If they didn''t strike back, they would be awaiting their doom.


    This was clearly not the ending she desired.


    "Mom, everything you once lost, I will… take it all back one by one!" Qiao Mu had already stopped crying. Her limpid eyes emitted a cold glint.


    She buried her head in the crown prince''s chest and lightly bit her thin lip. A bone-piercing chill clouded her heart.


    The Mu n would return everything they owed in the end!<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    ***


    Mu Xingchen stood by the mast and looked up at the darkening sky.


    The scenery on the river was still as pleasant as before, but he was not in the mind to appreciate it.


    He did not know how long he had been standing here. His mind kept reying what had happened earlier.


    The littledy pounced over and gave his face a stinging p.


    The littledy''s wrathful eyes had teared up. This tugged at his heartstrings, and he subconsciously clenched his fistly tightly.


    What woman, and who is that woman to you?


    She interrogated him like this! Interrogated him loudly like this!


    At that instant, his brain seemed to go nk. His eyes could only see the littledy''s incensed expression.0


    "Xingchen." Mu Jingrui walked over and sighed. "Don''t think too much. Let''s go back to the Mu n and tell the old master about this."


    "The entire n knows that the old master has never given up on finding his granddaughter." Mu Jingrui sighed. "Actually, I had already found your younger sister several months ago on Sikong."


    "Several months? Seventh Uncle!" Mu Xingchen abruptly turned around to look at him. "Then, then, why didn''t you tell us?"


    Mu Jingrui shook his head bitterly. "At that time, I knew that this girl had great prejudice towards our Mu n."


    "Additionally, the littledy''s image of our Mu n worsened because of the incident with Old Bai."


    Mu Jingrui briefly rted the conflict between Old Bai and the littledy on Sikong. He also became a bit frustrated. "Old Bai was too brazen. He threatend the littledy with her foster pasters. Thispletely crossed the littledy''s bottom line."


    Mu Jingrui closed his eyes as he stood by the railing and felt the evening breeze. He sighed and said, "Your younger sister is truly a prodigy. She was still only a level-14 mystic cultivator and an advanced-level talisman practitioner back on Sikong. But looking at her today…"


    Mu Jingrui shook his head. "She has made immense progress. Even I cannot make out her realm now."
