Chapter 5343: A Wonderful Spectacle

Everything she had done was for this daughter, wholeheartedly wishing her well, yet in the end, she received such an unfilial remark. She hated her, her daughter said she hated her!

Mu Qingya's body had long since ceased to feel cold, but at this moment, her heart was as if frozen three feet deep, plunging into an abyss. Her mind buzzed uncontrollably, her nostrils flaring slightly, gasping for breath as if each one was a struggle.

"Clap, clap, clap!" Suddenly, several crisp claps sounded abruptly from outside the woodshed.

The mother and daughter, currently in a confrontation, simultaneously stiffened, their heads slightly twisting as they looked towards the doorway. There stood a woman in resplendent red, heavily pregnant, emotionlessly applauding, her eyes coolly observing the two. A man in elegant, form-fitting brocade, strikingly handsome and otherworldly, supported her, stepping together into the narrow, dark woodshed.

The mother and daughter were momentarily dazzled by the radiant pair. It felt as if their mere entry had made even this dim, cramped woodshed seem to glow with splendor.

"Splendid, splendid," the little stoic nodded, offering a serious compliment. The show today was well worth it; such a scene of mother and daughter turning against each other, with the daughter directly rebuking her mother, was truly a rare sight in a lifetime.

Mu Qingya shivered, trying to force herself up, but completely lacking strength, she fell heavily again, her head resting against the hard stack of firewood behind her. A trace of fear and sorrow flashed in her eyes. She knew full well that in the hands of this ominous pair, both she and her daughter were likely doomed.

"Mu Qingya, does it hurt?" The little stoic suddenly tilted her head, asking such a question.

Mu Qingya trembled all over, staring at her with horror, her trembling fingers raising to point at Qiao Mu, stuttering, "You, you."

Qiao Mu suddenly smiled at her, her gaze subtly sweeping past Mu Xiaoxue.

Mu Xiaoxue had been facing away from her just now, so she hadn't seen her expression. Now, Qiao Mu secretly gasped in surprise. So, when a person's psychology became twisted, it could actually affect her charming, pure-as-a-white-flower face. Mu Xiaoxue's face seemed much coarser than ever before. This, of course, was also closely related to her anxious, wind-and-dew-filled existence during this period.

But at this moment, Mu Xiaoxue's face was so twisted it was almost deformed, her otherwise lovely eyes distorted into triangular shapes, quite amusing.

Qiao Mu ignored Mu Qingya, her gaze coldly directed at Mu Xiaoxue.

"You, what do you want to do?" Mu Xiaoxue's eyes widened in fright, and she repeatedly retreated a few steps. She turned to look back, only to see a dozen black-clad dark guards swarming to the doorway, perfectly blocking the woodshed's entrance. She couldn't escape at all, her palms clammy with cold sweat, her hands and feet trembling as she stood there shaking.

"Weren't you just talking so boastfully?" Xiaoye sneered, unable to contain his anger. "Miss Mu, you're quite something. Does this 'Qiankun Reversal Talisman' you speak of truly have such a great effect? One talisman, and you can transfer all of someone else's talent, abilities, and good fortune to yourself?"

"No, no, it's not like that, it's not!" Mu Qingya trembled and cried out sharply, "It's not, it's not! Crown Princess, Crown Prince!"

"These are just a child's nonsensical words."
