Chapter 5349: Body Snatching

"She has absolutely no affection for Mu Rouxuan. Emotionally, she never acknowledged Mu Rouxuan as her biological daughter."

"The only biological daughter she acknowledges is Mu Xiaoxue."

"Shut up, you shut up, Qiao Mu, shut up!!" Mu Qingya shrieked madly, not daring to look at the shocked expression on Mu Rouxuan's face, who was supporting her.

"What right do you have to speak of me? Qiao Mu! You are nothing more than a wisp of a ghost, a vengeful spirit crawled out of the underworld! You, you are not even yourself!"

"Gag her mouth, and drag her out!" Mo Lian's eyes darkened, and he gave a cold command.

Qiao Mu, however, was indifferent. She didn't care if Mu Qingya spoke. Everyone here understood and believed in the concept of "body snatching."

As for rebirth? Heh, it seemed no one would think of that, and it didn't matter if she blabbed about it. Even if someone believed her, so what? The current Qiao Mu was no longer the Qiao Mu of the past. Even if she was a vengeful spirit incarnate, a ghost reborn, no one could harm her now in the slightest.

But Mo Lian still didn't want to hear this woman spouting such nonsense. So he ordered someone to gag Mu Qingya and drag her out. Mu Qingya wailed, her eyes filled with resentment and coldness, staring intently at the Crown Prince and Qiao Mu. Finally, she tried to reach out and grab Mu Rouxuan, wanted to grab her, but Mu Rouxuan instinctively pulled back, avoiding her grasp.

"You, what you said, is it true? Is it??" Mu Rouxuan stared at Qiao Mu in shock, her eyes filled with tears as she fiercely questioned her.

Qiao Mu glanced at her. "I have no interest in lying, nor any reason to lie to you about something like this."

"In fact, you've always had doubts, haven't you?"

"Both are daughters, but you didn't see the difference in her attitude towards you versus her attitude towards Mu Xiaoxue? Couldn't you tell? If you never doubted, then I can only tell you, you are very foolish."

Mu Rouxuan's breath hitched, and she stood there blankly, not recovering for a long time.

"Did, did she admit it herself?" Mu Rouxuan felt her limbs turn icy cold. The answer she had been seeking for years seemed to finally have an explanation at this moment... However, this explanation brought immense despair.

Her biological mother had long since died, her body taken over by someone else? For so many years, a woman with a viper's heart had been by her side. All her efforts, everything she did to please her mother—taking modified potions, eating mutated pills, undergoing the organization's transformations—now seemed like nothing but a joke.

"Rouxuan," Mu Xingchen sighed, looking at her with a somber expression. "Mu Qingya is not a good person. Don't fall for her tricks and be deceived by her again," Mu Xingchen said. "You don't owe her anything. You don't have to think about exchanging your life for Mu Xiaoxue's. She doesn't deserve such treatment from you."

"Your Highness, Crown Princess," Xiaoye suddenly flashed into the doorway, a strange look on his face. "Something's happening."

"What's happening?" Crown Prince Mo glanced at him, then pulled Qiao Mu's small hand and began walking out.

"The Way of Heaven seems to be having a situation!" Xiaoye pointed towards the sky, looking a little bewildered. "Don't know why, but as soon as our people dragged Mu Qingya out, large dark clouds gathered in the sky. It looks like a lightning tribulation is about to descend."

Mo Lian and his wife exchanged glances.
