Enchantress Amongst Alchemists: Ghost King's Wife
chapter-172

Mu Qing was literally sent flying from that slap. The table was flipped over and after an instant, boiling tea landed on his head, almost scalding a layer of skin.

Mu Qing was stunned as he didn’t know what he had said wrongly that invoked Madam Sheng Yue’s rage.

“Yu Er, calm down. Don’t hurt your body due to anger.” Xiao Tian Yu continuously helped Madam sheng Yue to quell her pent up anger. His eyes frosted over when he looked at Mu Qing.

“Somebody come!” After Madam Sheng Yue had gradually calmed down, she glared furiously at Mu Qing. “Bind up everyone from the Mu family and also capture the two daughters of Mu Qing, Mu Ting Er and Mu Yi Xue! Oh that’s right, invite Mu Ru Yue over. Just tell her that I, Madam Sheng Yue, wish to meet her. Remember to politely invite her over. Nobody is allowed to be rude to her. If not, you can just scram!”

The former were captured and the latter was invited. The treatment between the two was completely different.

Madam Sheng Yue originally wanted to meet Mu Ru Yue personally, but who knew that the matter with Xiao Min would arise? It made her so incredibly enraged, so much that, she wanted to settle all matters here.

Moreover, she also didn’t know if Yue Er was hurt or not…

Xiao Min had activated the forbidden spell of the Xiao family, and that attack would have been extremely dangerous. If Yue Er had been hurt by her, she would definitely chop that damnable Xiao Min into countless pieces!

Mu Qing realised that he was really doomed this time. He was completely clueless about what was happening and why.

Shouldn’t those large powers be more protective of their members? Why was Madam Sheng Yue so courteous to Mu Ru Yue after she had injured the young mistress of the Xiao family?

What was going on?

Furthermore, Yue Er seemed to be associated with this Madam Sheng Yue judging from her words…

“Head of the Mu family, I want to ask you something.” Madam Sheng Yue’s eyes narrowed dangerously and she smiled coldly, “Did someone pass you a girl sixteen years ago? Could you tell me where that girl is now?”

Mu Qing trembled and looked in astonishment at Madam Sheng Yue. His eyes darted around before saying, “She is dead. That girl has already died…”

“Haha!” Madam Sheng Yue raised her head and laughed. She no longer kept her elegant posture. “Died? Mu Qing, do you know what will happen to you if you lie to me? With just a word from me, you will be consigned to eternal damnation!”

“Really…she is really dead. ”

Cold sweat slowly formed on Mu Qing’s forehead. He still wanted to prevaricate as there were only a few people who knew of what had happened that year.

Madam Sheng Yue coldly chuckled. If she hadn’t thoroughly investigated everything to the smallest detail, she may have believed this man. It was a pity for him that she already knew everything…

“Mu Qing, stop your final struggles. I know that the girl is Mu Ru Yue. It was precisely because she was not your daughter that you mercilessly mistreated her and didn’t mind forcing her to her death.”

No biological father would treat their daughter so ruthlessly. Everything he had done was due to Mu Ru Yue not being his daughter and, more importantly, her inability to cultivate. Hence, Mu Qing had always wished for her death.

He had only suppressed the impulse to strangle Mu Ru Yue to death because he didn’t want to be the murderer of his daughter.

“No matter if it is you or Xiao Min, I won’t let you off!” Madam Sheng Yue walked deliberately towards Mu Qing. With an ice-cold smile, she continued, “That’s right, regarding Mu Yi Xue and Mu Ting Er, Yue Er has been treated very well by them all these years. How do you think I should repay them?”
