Chapter 4665: 5.0417 Crimson Silk

Zhuo Yan still tried to stop Mu Xiaoxue, but her daughter, Mu Feixia, pulled her away. Zhuo Yan could only glare hatefully at Mu Xiaoxue as she left with Mu Jinghong.

"Why are you pulling me?" Zhuo Yan asked, fuming.

Mu Feixia sighed. "Mother, don't go on tormenting Mu Xiaoxue anymore."

Zhuo Yan was furious. She poked her daughter's forehead and whispered, "You foolish girl, who am I getting so anxious and upset for? What is that Mu Xiaoxue? An illegitimate child, yet she managed to seduce your fiancé."

"A few days ago, the Kang family said they wanted to break off the engagement. Don't you understand why that is?"

"It's that scoundrel from the Kang family who secretly had something going on with that hussy Mu Xiaoxue. I'm telling you, that Mu Xiaoxue is a cheap whore, she'll hook up with anyone. Just like her hussy mother!"

Mu Feixia, however, was quite open-minded. She chuckled. "Mother, this is quite good. A man who can be easily snatched by another woman with a simple flirtation? Your daughter, I, truly don't fancy him."

"Besides, isn't it better for this to come out now? If I had married him and then discovered Kang Yaofa's true colors, who would I cry to?"

Zhuo Yan was amused by her daughter's words. She poked her. "You really are... you really are still in the mood for jokes."

"Mother, don't be angry. Your daughter isn't sad; I actually think it's quite good."

"Your father has been corresponding very closely with that hussy recently. They're even using some sort of code, and I don't know what secret plans they're concocting with that woman." Zhuo Yan sighed. "I'm afraid... your father might be enchanted by that hussy and do something wrong again. Then he'll drag us three, mother and daughters, down."

"Mother, don't worry, I'll keep an eye on their movements at all times."

In the study.

Mu Jinghong sighed deeply, looking at his daughter, who sat with her head bowed and tears in her eyes. "Sit."

Mu Xiaoxue nervously rubbed the corner of her clothes, shrinking as she sat down, only occupying a third of the stool, her back perfectly straight, her posture very prim.

Mu Jinghong suddenly took out a box from his怀里 (bosom) and handed it to Mu Xiaoxue. "Here, Xue'er, take a look."

Mu Xiaoxue took the box, thanked him cautiously, and upon opening the lid, her eyes immediately lit up.

"This crimson silk, take it for self-defense from now on," Mu Jinghong looked at his daughter with affection. "To use the crimson silk, you don't need to inject spiritual power. You only need to be in tune with it."

"Thank you, Father." A hint of joy quickly flashed in Mu Xiaoxue's eyes.

She naturally knew about this crimson silk.

It was one of the three great magical treasures of Shadow City. It could be used as a defensive divine artifact in retreat and an offensive divine artifact in attack.

The disciples of the Second and Third City Lords all coveted this self-defense treasure, and she never expected Father to hand this treasure over to her today.

Thinking this, the humiliation she suffered at the mountain gate earlier seemed like nothing at all.

Mu Xiaoxue was delighted in her heart, but her voice was soft and gentle. "I just don't know if Madam finds out about this, will she..."

"Why bother with her? Over the years, she's become increasingly excessive. Don't worry, take this crimson silk. You don't need to pay attention to anyone else."
