Chapter 4644: 5.0396 So That's How It Is

Her Excellency Qin Nitian responded with an expressionless "Oh."

Qiao Mu suddenly slapped her thigh, enlightened. "I get it!"

"What do you get, child?"

Qiao Mu abruptly turned, her eyes cold as she stared at Mu Qingya. "Mu Ruanxuan isn't your biological daughter."

"It should be said that Mu Ruanxuan wasn't actually conceived by you. Right?" This would explain it. Why Mu Qingya had always been so indifferent towards her daughter, Mu Ruanxuan. Mu Ruanxuan was probably conceived by Mu Qingya's original host, wasn't she?

"No wonder Chen Shang thought so highly of you. You handle things so... meticulously." Heh, that naive mother of hers, though remarkably powerful, clearly has a pure and innocent mind. She had no idea there were so many twists and turns. She just thought Mu Qingya was a strong-willed woman who, to completely sever ties with Mu Jingfeng, even took the medicine herself, wanting to get rid of the child in her belly.

"You really took several abortifacients, didn't you?"

"So what?" Mu Qingya's face was grim as she glared at Qiao Mu, screaming, "Why should I bear children for a weak and useless man like Mu Jingfeng?"

"What makes him worth me suffering excruciating pain to give birth for?" Mu Qingya gnashed her teeth. "Who knew that pregnancy was strangely stable! I drank two doses of abortifacients, and still couldn't get rid of the child."

Qiao Mu shook her head. "It's because when you took the medicine, Chen Shang, acting on my mother's behalf, gave you top-grade nutrient fluid."

"Mother and Chen Shang both thought you were strong-willed, unwilling to be an outside mistress, and felt guilty, which is why you took the abortifacient. Now it seems they were incredibly naive. You weren't having an abortion for anyone else; you were doing it entirely for yourself."

"You didn't want to give birth to Mu Ruanxuan. That's why after Mu Ruanxuan was born, you never liked her."

"And that little princess of Shadow City is the one you found a man for and gave birth to yourself, which is why your attitude towards them is completely different. Because you never considered Mu Ruanxuan your biological daughter."

"Her existence has always been a stain on you, your disgrace. Every time you see her, you think of how you soul-possessed a useless body and even reluctantly gave birth to a daughter for someone else."

"Yes, yes, yes!!" Mu Qingya shrieked, "Now you understand everything, you know everything! So what do you want to do now? Heh. I'm just a wretched life; now that I'm in your hands, do as you please, kill or torture."

After speaking, Mu Qingya suddenly turned and jabbered a long string of words at Her Excellency Qin Nitian in a language Qiao Mu and the others couldn't understand.

Little Nitian smiled, a half-smile on her face, watching her. After a while, she said, "Don't misunderstand. Strictly speaking, I'm not from your world. I'm just here to visit relatives, and I'll leave right after. You don't need to waste your efforts trying to turn me against them."

"What did Aunt-Master just say to you??" The Little Stoic demanded unhappily. "She's trying to turn you against them? What does she want you to do?"

"She said she hopes I'll join them. She said she and I are fellow countrymen with a common language, and that she'll take me with her to the peak of the world, and so on."

"But she really has no idea what's going on, talking nonsense."

She can't stay in this world for long, and she's trying to turn someone against them without even finding a reliable target.
