The Divine Physician’s Overbearing Wife

Chapter 2151: The Past Life 76

Perhaps, from the moment Little Nine was unwilling to come back with him, it was already doomed…

“I will meet Little Nine tomorrow,” Mu Yi said with a bitter smile. “Mother, you are still weak. Why don’t you go rest first…”

Old Lady Mu snorted coldly. “If you had the means to seek justice for Qingya, would you still need me, an old lady, to come out? If it weren’t for you being so useless, I wouldn’t be this exhausted.”

After saying these words, Old Lady Mu did not look at Mu Yi again as she turned around and left the room.

Looking at Old Lady Mu’s back as she left, Mu Yi’s eyes were also filled with guilt.

He felt useless.

After his wife passed away, he had married Princess Qingluo and had an excellent daughter, but he had no way to vent his anger on her behalf when she suffered just because he owed Little Nine too much.

His mother was hurt, but he could do nothing.

Even more, Little Nine, who was once well-behaved and understanding, had now turned out to be so.

“Qingya…”

Mu Yi turned to look at Mu Qingya. “Tomorrow, I will meet Little Nine again.”

He had gone to beg her to apologize a few times, but all in vain.

He had no choice but to drive her away forcefully tomorrow. That was the only way his family could be peaceful again, and Little Nine would not make mistakes because of her ignorance.

Mu Yi closed his eyes in grief.

‘I’m sorry, Little Nine. I am doing this for your good.

‘If you continue to stay, one day, the princess will be furious, and by then, I cannot help you…’

Mu Qingya smiled as she walked toward Mu Yi.

“Father, I’m only thinking about Grandmother’s health. After all, one of Sister’s servants had dared to hurt Grandmother. If we didn’t take any action, maybe Sister might even dare to hurt her in the future. Have you ever thought about this?”

Mu Yi trembled. ‘Indeed. Even a servant had dared to make a move on Mother, so Little Nine must have dared to do so even more.’

He remained silent.

Princess Qingluo and Mu Qingya left. They did not say anything more, thinking about how they should go to Little Nine tomorrow.

Unfortunately, Mu Yi was not able to meet the Ninth Emperor.

He and Sima Yan came to disturb the Ninth Emperor one after another, so she had set up a formation overnight, and after he broke into the courtyard, he found the whole courtyard empty.

What was even more frightening was that he could not get out.

He stayed in that formation for a whole day and night before the people inside found out and let him out. Otherwise, there was no way for him to leave without someone releasing him.

When Princess Qingluo saw Mu Yi return without success, her face was suddenly cold again as she asked, “Mu Yi, up until now you are still pitying Little Nine? What about our daughter and mother? Moreover, you went out for a whole day and night before coming back. What exactly did you do?”

Mu Yi smiled bitterly and said helplessly, “I don’t know what happened… After I entered the courtyard, I couldn’t see anyone, and I couldn’t leave. Until the dawn… I somehow walked out again.”

If he said he did not see anyone, Qingluo might have believed that maybe Little Nine had gone out, so he could not see her.

But…

Walking around the courtyard all night without being able to come out, and then somehow coming out at dawn?

Did he think she was a fool?

Princess Qingluo sneered, and the disappointment in her eyes grew.

“Mu Yi, you can even tell such a lie for Little Nine. Would you do something to our mother and daughter then?”
