Chapter 3618: 4.1218 Pleading for Mercy

The little sister's originally expressionless face was now an unmistakable look of disdain.

Seeing it truly made Mu Xingchen feel a bit uncomfortable.

Alas...

The rift between his little sister and the Mu family was truly something that couldn't be easily resolved anytime soon.

It was hard to believe the Old Ancestor came up with such a terrible idea, insisting that his little sister take over the entire Mu family and become the next Family Head.

This wasn't just a slap in the face to his father, Mu Jingfeng, but also to the faces of all the Mu family disciples.

The old members of the Mu family naturally wouldn't agree to be led by a young girl, even if the Old Master was there to suppress them. But after all...

Suppressing them for a while was one thing, but he couldn't possibly suppress them for life.

Qiao Mu looked up at her Big Brother and snorted. "A bunch of good-for-nothings, what's the point of having them!"

Mu Xingchen couldn't help but smile wryly. He instinctively reached out to pat his little sister's head, chuckling helplessly. "Alright, alright, we won't talk about this. Qiao Qiao..."

Before he could finish speaking, a sharp cry interrupted him.

"Qiao Mu!!" Following the rapid rattling of wheels, it was Aunt Shi, looking extremely haggard, who was in a wheelchair.

Since their last parting at Nanyuan Garden, he hadn't seen this woman for quite some time.

This woman, lately, he didn't know if she had a change of heart, had been remarkably well-behaved, staying in her own courtyard, fasting and chanting Buddhist scriptures, looking like she had completely renounced worldly affairs.

Qiao Mu glanced at her, her expression indifferent, and did not speak first.

Instead, she waited for the frantic Shi Huixin to speak.

Her visit was undoubtedly about her two daughters being banished. Qiao Mu didn't even need to guess to know why Shi Huixin was here.

Shi Huixin hastily wheeled herself in front of Qiao Mu, painstakingly straightened herself up in the wheelchair, and then with a movement of her body, tumbled onto the ground.

The wheelchair, losing its balance, immediately toppled over.

Shi Huixin collapsed to the ground, repeatedly kowtowing towards Qiao Mu, crying heartbrokenly, "Crown Princess, Crown Princess, I beg you! Please let my two daughters go!"

"They haven't done anything rebellious or offended you! They are so small, so lowly, why must you, the dignified Crown Princess, hold a grudge against two concubine-born daughters and refuse to forgive them!"

Mu Xingchen stared coldly at Shi Huixin, opening his mouth with an indifferent expression. "Aunt Shi, what are you making a fuss about here? This matter has nothing to do with my sister. The decision to send Mu Rouyan and Mu Rouyun to a branch family for tempering was made by the Old Ancestor! And Grandpa nodded in agreement. It has absolutely no connection to my sister."

Shi Huixin's face twisted instantly.

Her legs were inconvenient, so she could only crawl forward a few steps, desperately trying to grab Qiao Mu's small foot. "Crown Princess, Crown Princess, I beg you to forgive Rouyan and Rouyun! They are my only two daughters; you can't ruin them both!"

"They are just your two concubine-born sisters; they've been pampered by me since childhood. They're not capable of much, and they wouldn't possibly compete with you! Please let them off the hook, don't banish them from Imperial City!"

Mu Xingchen's face immediately grew even more grim.

To be knelt before by an aunt, crying and begging for Qiao Qiao to release two concubine-born sisters, made it seem as if Qiao Qiao had truly used means to persecute her two half-sisters.
