Chapter 5241: 5.0993 Secret Resentment

"Your mother, is she doing well?"

Upon hearing the woman in front of her ask about her mother, Mu Xiaoxue immediately thought of her mother's terrifyingly emaciated appearance.

She's doing well?

How is she doing well?

Her mother was practically tortured to death by them, and this is considered "well"?

Mu Xiaoxue forcibly suppressed a belly full of rage, putting on a bright and gentle smile. "Mother, she's doing well."

She practically squeezed those two words, "doing well," through gritted teeth.

Doing well, what's good about it?

Not good at all. This is all thanks to Qiao Mu, who subjected her mother to multiple torments, reducing her to such a state.

This vicious woman, why doesn't Heaven strike her down with lightning?

Heaven is truly unjust!

Qiao Mu, this vicious woman, has done all sorts of evil, even being so ruthless and malicious towards an ordinary person like her. Why won't Heaven take her away?

Why!

Mu Xiaoxue tightly clenched her fists, then smiled nonchalantly, feigning indifference, and asked gently, "Does Your Highness the Crown Princess still remember the incident in Jiawei City?"

"At that time, you participated in the academy's Heavenly Origin Ranking finals in Jiawei City, do you remember?"

Qiao Mu heard her mention Jiawei City several times and couldn't help but feel a stirring in her heart. She sized up Mu Xiaoxue. "Mu Xiaoxue, you, a Heavenly Fate disciple, brazenly appearing in my Dragon Flame City, what exactly do you intend to do? Hmm? Provoke imperial authority? Or provoke this palace?"

"Whoa." Hearing the Crown Princess's words, the crowd immediately erupted in a clamor.

Everyone cursed, talking over each other, "She's from Heavenly Fate?"

"What? I can't believe it, such a delicate, frail-looking girl is actually from the evil organization Heavenly Fate?"

"She's not a corpse puppet, is she?"

"Wow, these corpse puppets have evolved to look so respectable now?"

"Holy cow, if they mix in with the crowd, corpse puppets won't be any different from us!"

Who, who's a corpse puppet?? Mu Xiaoxue was so angered by those ignorant commoners that she felt like her soul had left her body.

She had originally gathered these onlookers and friends for her next grand act.

But who knew these "melon-eating masses" wouldn't cooperate with her performance at all? Not only that, but they were acting like they were possessed, siding with the Crown Princess and accusing and cursing them!

Damn it, why haven't the hidden sentinels and stooges they placed among the crowd made a move yet?

Mu Xiaoxue glanced at Qin Cao, who was beside her.

Qin Cao signaled back, silently nodding.

Mu Xiaoxue's heart immediately lightened.

No problem, Qin Cao meant everything was arranged, just waiting for the show to begin.

Mu Xiaoxue took a deep breath, instantly squeezed out two tears, and cried pitifully, "Your Highness the Crown Princess, why do you slander this humble one?"

"This humble one is just an ordinary woman, without any cultivation whatsoever. Why do you falsely accuse this humble one of being a Heavenly Fate disciple?"

"Your mother, Mu Qingya, is precisely the Hall Master of Heavenly Fate's Soaring Heaven Hall, a fact known to all," Qiao Mu coldly chuckled, interrupting her sobbing. "What exactly do you intend to perform? Why don't you get straight to the point?"

Mu Xiaoxue secretly gritted her teeth. "Your Highness the Crown Princess. If my words are too strong, you will surely think I am contradicting you. But, but this matter..."

"Then don't speak," Qiao Mu waved her hand, giving a look to the two hidden guards.

The two immediately understood and stepped forward, unhesitatingly reaching out to grab Mu Xiaoxue.
