Chapter 3622: 4.1222 Incitement

Everyone was incredibly shocked.

Concubine Aunt Shi's face was completely rotted, oozing a horrifying pus.

It was as if some venom had corroded it, and her face was disintegrating inch by inch into the liquid.

Even Mu Jingfeng couldn't help but turn his gaze away in disgust.

He spun around, glaring furiously at Qiao Mu, and roared, "Qiao Mu! How utterly vicious your intentions are! What a malicious method!"

"Concubine Aunt Shi, no matter what, is your stepmother, your elder. Even if she was a little offensive in her words, you shouldn't use such methods to harm a woman with low cultivation!"

"Do you have any conscience left? Any sense of shame?" Mu Jingfeng bellowed angrily, completely disregarding how many people were present.

His eyes, as he glared at Qiao Mu, were almost like they were laced with venom.

It was as if he wasn't looking at his own daughter, but his most deadly enemy in life and death.

Qiao Mu, however, glanced at him indifferently and scoffed, "Then do you want to kill me?"

"Sister!" Mu Xingchen couldn't help but grow anxious.

His sister's indifferent attitude was as if she was letting their father frame her, too lazy to even argue.

As her elder brother, he certainly didn't want to see his sister suffer such a great injustice and be forced to bear the notorious reputation of poisoning her stepmother.

"Father, you had better watch your words and not make baseless accusations," Mu Xingchen said angrily. "My sister and I only spoke with Concubine Aunt Shi for a few minutes. During that time, my sister didn't even touch Concubine Aunt Shi with a single finger. Concubine Aunt Shi's condition must be because she was already poisoned much earlier, and it just so happened to take effect and manifest in front of us..."

"Fabricating excuses!" Mu Jingfeng angrily rebuked, "Xingchen, you have disappointed your father too much!"

"You are the young master of the Mu family, the future hope of the Mu family! If it weren't for the Old Ancestor's previous issue, the entire Mu family would be inherited by you in the future!"

Mu Xingchen's gaze turned extremely cold as he stared at his father, letting out a cold scoff, "Father, you don't need to sow discord! I'm not like you, with an intense desire to control the Mu family's power."

"I am a member of the Mu family. If anything happens to the Mu family, I will not shirk my duty. But I don't care about the position of family head, not one bit."

"So, if my sister becomes the family head, I have no objections at all," Mu Xingchen stated flatly, his expression cold.

His father was truly too cruel and ruthless. For the position of family head, he would even go so far as to incite him to turn against his own sister?

Did he think that promising him the position of young master, a future family head, would make him wary of his sister, causing them to fight like dogs over the position of family head so that he, as their father, could reap the benefits?

Simply too naive!

Mu Jingfeng's eyes gleamed with a cold, venomous light as he stared intently at his son for a long time before bursting into laughter.

"You're really overthinking things, Xingchen."

Seeing that he couldn't provoke his son, Mu Jingfeng couldn't help but frown and said coldly, "A true man's actions must be worthy of heaven and earth. Although she is your biological sister, to tell lies for her sake and deceive your relatives and elders is a very unwise move."

Qiao Mu curled her lips in a sarcastic smile.

Look, this was her biological father, desperate to pin the infamous reputation of poisoning her stepmother onto her.
