Chapter 2210: The Past Life 135

Mu Yi stiffened. “Isn’t Little Nine the Ninth Emperor? She should be living a good life. How can she still be chased after…’

“I don’t care what you did back then that caused my master to run away. But in the future, don’t come to bother her again.”

After saying that, Dongfang Yu did not look at him again and simply turned to the people in front of him.

“You guys keep saying that one should be filial and repay your grievances with virtue… It’s simply ridiculous!

“When Mu Qingya plotted to kill innocent people because of her selfishness and blamed my master, why didn’t anyone say that they should repay grievances with virtue?

“When Mu Yi had to give her up without asking, why didn’t anyone complain about that?

“Since this group of people can’t do it, why should she be asked to repay her grievances with virtue and be filial to someone who doesn’t deserve her filial piety? For some people, when the knife is not on her neck, she does not know the pain…

“But once it’s on her neck, she’s more ruthless than anyone else!”

Indeed. For some people, when the knife was no longer on their neck, they became arrogant and accused others because…

They did not know the pain. After all, the pain was on someone else’s body.

When they were in pain, they would be more ruthless than anyone else.

The crowd was somewhat dumbfounded and did not know what to say.

Earlier, among the crowd, someone deliberately triggered the crowd to hate on Little Nine to force her to forgive the Mu family.

But now, they all fell silent.

If someone had treated them like this, would they still repay the grievances with virtue? Could they forgive the person who wanted to harm them?

Everyone was quiet; even the most ruthless people who screamed from the crowd earlier did not dare to speak after seeing Dongfang Yu’s eyes.

Dongfang Yu said nothing more. She simply turned and slammed the courtyard gate fiercely shut as if it could keep the rumors out.

Mu Yi stood in the light breeze, frozen. He then turned around slowly and walked away.

Gradually, the sad figure disappeared in the crowd.

***

The emperor’s son-in-law manor…

Mu Yi walked into the manor and saw the old lady of the Mu family approaching him with a glow in her eyes. “How did it go? Is Little Nine willing to come back?”

Old Lady Mu had always called her a ‘wild child’ before, but it became ‘Little Nine’…

Mu Yi slowly came back to his senses. He raised his head stiffly, looked at the old lady in front of him, and shook his head.

Old Lady Mu spat and scolded, “Useless! Why can’t you even invite her back? You are her father, can’t there be no way to make her come home? This is her home. If she doesn’t come back, where else can she go?

“She is Little Nine of the Mu family. This is her home!”

‘Her home…’

These two words echoed in Mu Yi’s mind. He suddenly raised his head again and stared at Old Lady Mu.

If it were not for her mother’s words, Little Nine would have returned a long time ago, and there would not have been so many bad things happening to them…

If it were not for her mother’s fondness of Mu Qingya, his daughter would not have become like this, let alone become a prisoner…
