Chapter 1262: The Truth IV
The young man looked at Feng Ruqing with his clear eyes. His eyes were as brilliant as the sun, giving off a warm fuzzy light.
“Xiao Qing, when will we go back home?”
‘Xiao Qing, when will we go back home?’
The young man’s warm voice also softened Feng Ruqing’s heart. She turned around to look at him and said, “When Nan Xian returns, we will go back together.”
“Alright.”
His voice was still as clear as a natural spring, pure and sweet.
It was as if the young man had such a look only when Feng Ruqing was around.
Even the pink scar at the corner of his brow seemed to be especially good looking.
“Manor Master Gu, these people will be handed over to you to be dealt with.” Old Master Mu cupped his fist. “I still need to clean up my own family’s mess today, so I will take my leave first. My two in-laws, Suyi, Xiao Qing, Xiao Chen, let’s go back first.”
When the old master was saying these words, his gaze was sharp like a blade, scaring the clansmen of the Mu family until they shivered. Even merely standing around left them feeling uncomfortable.
“Master, we were also forced to do so back then. We had to do it to protect the Mu family. You need to trust our well-meaning intentions.”
Mu Ying knelt down first, speaking in great distress.
Everything he had done was for the Mu family. Even if he had done wrong, it was worth forgiving.
Old Master Mu glanced coldly at the old man who was kneeling at the forefront and said expressionlessly. “Our Mu family does not need someone who does not obey my orders, makes his own decisions, and is, even more so, afraid of death!”
Mu Ying trembled and stopped talking.
The other people also lowered their heads, not daring to say more.
“However, considering that all of you are part of my Mu family’s clan, I will not deal with all of you. All you should leave the Mu family. From now on, all of you are no longer the people of my Mu family. Your life and death will not be related to me.”
All of the Mu family’s people trembled as they raised their heads to look at Old Master Mu nervously.
As part of the Mu family, normally they had done quite a bit of showing off and domination outside. They had offended quite a number of people in the past years.
However, since those people were afraid of the Mu family, nobody had dared to settle scores with them. If they lost the protection of the Mu family, their endings were pretty predictable.
Therefore, when they heard the old master’s words, all these people started panicking.
One of them pounced on Old Master Mu and held onto his old thigh as he cried loudly with snot dripping out of his nose. “Master, I have done wrong. I know my mistakes. Please, I beg you, do not chase me out. I really know my mistakes. I will never dare to do this again in the future.”
Old Master Mu closed his eyes in abysmal pain.
He had known these people and interacted with them for so many years. How could he not have any feelings?
Thus, he had given them many chances before.
However, these people did not know how to repent, simply wasting the chances he had given them.
How could he possibly forgive them again?
“All of you should just leave. Don’t force me to the corner. Otherwise, I’m afraid that all of you would be unable to leave without any harm, and who knows, maybe the whole world would know that all of you were chased out the door by me!”
The old master opened his eyes and said heartlessly without leaving any room for negotiation.
These people only thought about protecting themselves when they met with danger. If there was a next time, he dared not guarantee that he would not be stabbed in the back in Mu Residence by these people just to ensure their own survival.
Such an outcome was not something he could bear…
Mu Ying stood up from the ground, shaking. He understood, no matter how he begged, the Old Master Mu would not possibly let him stay.
“Master…” his voice was trembling. “I really was doing everything in consideration of the Mu family. I did not want the Mu family to be utterly destroyed.”
