After saying this, Mu Liuling gritted his teeth and said in a cold voice: "The engagement between Qin Yun and me has been cancelled. The marriage certificate was torn up by my young master himself. I, Mu Liuling, have no relationship with him anymore, so... cousin, please stop lying to me. I know Qin Yun's intentions very well, and the Mu family sent you here... which means that you are determined to help the tiger and sell me out to him, right?"
As he spoke, Mu Liuling looked at Mu Ming with a burning gaze, and his tone gradually turned colder: "Cousin, there's no need to pretend anymore, really... No need to pretend..."
Mu Ming was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then the smile on his face disappeared, turning into a cold face, and snorted: "In this case, cousin Liu Ling, I will not hide it from you. The family suffered because of you, so naturally we have to offer you to Master Qin Yun to make amends. The family raised you and protected you for so many years. If you still have a trace of gratitude, then do your best to atone for your sins!"
After hearing this, even though Mu Liuling had already guessed it, when she really heard it, she still felt as if something in her heart was broken - no matter how determined she was, no matter how strong she was, she was still just a girl... Abandoned and betrayed by the family she had lived in since she was a child, and thrown away without hesitation like a commodity, without any regard for her own feelings... How heartbreaking was this feeling
As a result, Mu Liuling's subsequent words began to become disordered and hurried, with a heartbreaking and inexplicable meaning...
"Atonement? Gratitude?"
"Heh..."
"I have been away from home for several years, and no one in my family has cared about my life or death. Only the young master took pity on me and took me in... Not to mention that Qin Yun intended to use the nineteenth prince to do despicable things. At that time, where was the family that you said raised me and protected me? Did they ever ask for justice for me?"
"No! No! No!"
Mu Liuling's tone grew colder, her thumb digging into her flesh. "They... said it was a misunderstanding and asked me to apologize humbly! If I hadn't met the young master, you would have done more, right? What did I, Mu Liuling, do wrong to deserve such coldness and determination from the family towards a weak woman like me!"
Mu Ming heard this, and a flash of embarrassment flashed across his face, but soon he sneered again, "It's your fault for looking down on others! If you weren't so stupid as to come to cancel the engagement, you could share the glory of Master Qin Yun right now! It's your own stupidity and evil deeds that pushed a top talent to the other side! Look at Master Qin Yun, and then look at yourself now, there's a world of difference! You don't think you can really beat him, do you? It's ridiculous, the elders of the clan have long said that Master Qin Yun is a man of luck, and it's your blessing that you can have an engagement with him! But you don't know how to cherish him, and you just endure his abuse of you. As a woman, shouldn't you accept your fate? You have to make trouble, and now you are so deserted by everyone, who can you blame?"
Mu Ming's tone became colder: "Mu Liuling, I'm asking you one last time, are you really unwilling to go back to the Mu family with us? This is the last chance! If you go back now, it will be better. Otherwise, if you stay here and wait for something to happen before being forcibly sent to Master Qin Yun... then, it will be a completely different scene!"
Although this statement did not directly target Chu Tianxiao, any smart person could understand the meaning behind it... Obviously, the Mu family also felt that Chu Tianxiao had no chance of winning and would definitely lose, and Mu Liuling would be taken back anyway...
Hearing this, Mu Liuling gritted her teeth and was about to speak, but Mu Ming had already gotten the answer from her eyes. He sneered and said first: "Okay! Mu Liuling, you really are just like what the patriarch said... Since you just don't want to come back, then fine!"
As he spoke, he took out the "token" he had received from the head of the Mu family before, threw it down, and said loudly: "Ancestors of the Mu family! Today, Mu Liuling is not a faithful wife... and has privately broken off the engagement... She is hereby expelled from the Mu family!"
"You are responsible for your own actions, don't come and bring harm to our Mu family!"
After these words were spoken, Mu Liuling's face turned pale. How could she not understand at this point that this was a vicious plot to attack her heart!
It was conceivable how the Mu family would discredit him next, and if something like this happened before the decisive battle...
Public opinion will definitely be extremely unfavorable to us!
This battle... From the current point of view, it has already transcended the duel itself. The unfavorable public opinion is probably just the first step, the first round...
"It's an open conspiracy... There's no solution!"
Just as Mu Liuling figured this out and uttered these words in a lost voice, with sweat dripping from his forehead, a crisp voice suddenly sounded outside.
"No!"
"This game... I have a solution!"
When the voice fell, a girl suddenly walked in from outside the door. She had flowing hair, wore a long skirt, and a touch of green light tightly bound her waist, outlining her unformed figure. She was full of the youthful aura of a girl, like a green apple, so cute that people couldn't help but want to take a bite.
Who else could this woman be if not Lu Meir
When she stepped into the room and looked up at Chu Tianxiao, she ignored everything else and rushed forward, pouncing on Chu Tianxiao like a little tiger. However... she did not succeed, because in a flash, Chu Tianxiao stretched out a finger and easily dissolved her "offensive" into nothingness, and put his finger on her forehead, so that she could not move forward even a step, no matter how fierce she was...
"Brother Tianxiao, we haven't met for a long time, but you bully me as soon as we meet!" Seeing that she could not make a breakthrough, Lu Meir could only put away her attitude in displeasure, pouting her lips and looking unhappy.
Chu Tianxiao waved his hand: "Long time? I don't think it's been long at all. You're still the same."
As soon as the three words "same old" fell, Lu Meir stamped her feet fiercely: "One day I will grow up!"
"... Stop it, kid, let's get down to business." As Chu Tianxiao was talking, he saw Lu Meir turned her head away, pouting her lips, still looking angry, so he could only say helplessly, "Okay, the dress looks good, it makes you look like a charming 19-year-old woman, okay?"
After hearing this, Lu Meir immediately smiled and nodded repeatedly, saying, "You have good taste! I spent a long time choosing this in the clothing store, and you didn't even praise it..."
"… Didn't I praise you?"
"You're not sincere at all! I told you that the lace on the skirt and the hairpin are matched, and it's exactly like this..."
Lu Meir chattered a lot, and Chu Tianxiao couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "I hate loli." Then he gave him a look, and Lu Meir stopped talking, stuck out her tongue, and turned to look at the two brothers Mu Ming and Mu Zhe.
At this moment, a little girl suddenly broke in and chattered for a long time. Because Lu Mei'er was too high-class, a small figure like Mu Ming could hardly know her appearance. Even if he knew, Lu Mei'er had dressed up carefully and forced herself to look a few years older, so it would not match. Therefore, Mu Ming did not know that this girl was the most favored Princess Tian Mei. He had long been impatient after hearing this girl's chatter, so he waved his hand: "Mu Liuling, you wish you good luck... No, take care of yourself!"
"Brother, let's go!"
Mu Zhe glanced at Mu Liuling, feeling a little reluctant, but thinking of his bright future, he gritted his teeth and advised: "Cousin Liuling, please come back with us. What's wrong with Master Qin Yun? He is a superior man. You can become his woman, which is a good thing that others can't ask for in several lifetimes..."
"Why are you still talking to her? This kind of woman is just stupid! She has no vision and will only drag down the family! Brother, it's hard to persuade the damned ghost with kind words. We have already said everything we can, let's go!"
As he said that, Mu Ming walked forward and pulled Mu Zhe, ready to leave. However, at this moment, Lu Meir's clear voice sounded behind him, as if it was a soul-stirring voice: "What? Do you want to just leave like this?"
