Chapter 4068: How Much Longer Will You Act?

First and foremost were Madam Mu, tied at the very front, along with Madam Hua from the Fifth Branch, Fifth Young Lady Mu Rouqin from the Fourth Branch, and several other direct female relatives of the Mu family.

Mu Qingya's face turned slightly pale as she looked at the disheveled Mu Jingfeng.

She had clearly witnessed the previous scene.

At this moment, her eyes filled with tears, and she looked at her husband with immense sorrow, as if deeply pained by his transformation. Tears silently streamed down her face, one by one.

"Old Master, save us, Old Master!" A group of weeping women, escorted by the Heaven's Will disciples, cried out for mercy.

Old Madam Mu's face subtly changed.

Since the incident, she had been protected by the Old Master's men.

At that time, they had also sent people into the inner quarters to search for other family members.

However, the various branches of the Mu family were spread out quite far in the Winter Moon Mountain Forest, making it truly impossible to notify all the female relatives to leave in a short time.

Old Madam Mu had only managed to rescue a portion of them. The remaining ones, unexpectedly, had all been captured by the enemy.

Seeing these delicate granddaughters, who had been raised in deep seclusion with no cultivation, now fallen into the enemy's hands, Old Madam Mu felt as if her heart was bleeding, and her eyes welled up with tears.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

"Old Madam, you are a reasonable person," Ciwei said with a smirk. "We already told you our objective early on! Hand over the talisman fragments from the ancestral hall, and we might consider releasing them."

"Actually, we truly don't want to be enemies with the Mu family."

Old Madam Mu let out a cold laugh.

Before she could speak, she heard Fifth Young Lady Mu Rouqin say coldly, "Grandfather, Father, there's no need to do anything that would dishonor the Mu family for my sake."

"What's there to fear about death?" Mu Rouqin said coldly, "It's nothing more than..."

Smack! Before she could finish her sentence, a heavy blow landed on her face.

Mu Rouqin's father, the Fourth Master Mu Jingxiao's eyes, instantly turned red. "What are you doing??"

Mu Qingya gave a slight sob and looked at Old Madam Mu with tears in her eyes. "Mother, there's no need to worry about us. The Mu family's talisman fragments cannot be handed over, and the Mu family's dignity must not be lost!"

"It is our honor to die for the Mu family."

Smack!! This time, the Heaven's Will disciples holding these women became even more enraged.

One of them directly slapped Mu Qingya, and even ripped the clothing off her shoulder with a tear.

"We'd like to see how tough the Mu family's mouths really are! Such a fair-skinned, tender lady, heh, it's really quite embarrassing to award her to our brothers! Hahahaha!"

As the mocking laughter echoed, Mu Qingya's tears fell one by one, but she kept her lips tightly pressed, feigning an unyielding and strong demeanor, lowering her head, stubbornly refusing to utter a sound.

"Qingya." Old Madam Mu's heart immediately softened.

This child, Qingya, had diligently managed the family's miscellaneous affairs for the Mu family for so many years, handling everything impeccably.

How could she bear to see such a gentle and kind child suffer such injustice?

Qiao Mu suddenly scoffed. "How much longer will you act?"

"Always acting, deceiving this person and that, deceiving for so many years, deceiving so many people, I just want to ask you, living like this, isn't it tiring?"
