Enchantress Amongst Alchemists: Ghost King's Wife
chapter-915

“Your elder sister…”

Mu Zheng closed his eyes in slight sorrow as he continued with a bitter smile, “She had still left us in the end…”

Mu Hao Tian bit his lip lightly as he lowered his head slightly. Sorrow surged forth from his body. He suppressed his pain as he smiled forcefully.

“Grandfather, you should rest up. I will head out to entertain elder sister Xiao.”

Mu Zheng thought about something, but he closed his eyes in the end.

‘All of the burdens of the family had fallen onto her after my son and daughter-in-law went missing all these years. But lastly, she died under those people’s hands.”

Mu Hao Tian looked at the figure that was under the light of daybreak in the courtyard. He became slightly absent-minded.

The girl that was in front of him seemed to have felt the familiar aura behind her so her body stiffened a little before gradually relaxing.

Yet, a familiar figure entered her eyes in the courtyard in front of her just as she was about to turn around, intense flames of fury exploded forth from her heart with undisguised killing intents…

Chu Yan (clear appeal) hastily ran briskly toward them, but she halted her steps when she was about to reach Mu Hao Tian. She looked in disbelief at Mu Ru Yue.

Swish!

Her complexion turned gravely pale as she stuttered in a shaky voice, “H-how are you….”

Mu Ru Yue sniggered as she smiled in mockery.

‘This woman was my best friend since young. I had always stayed by her side no matter what calamity we faced all these years.

‘Yet…

‘She plotted against me for a man that I didn’t even like. If it wasn’t for Chu Yun to leak out the route I usually take and even set up a trap, how could I be ambushed in the end?

‘All of this was due to me being bad at judging a person!’

“Elder sister Chu Yun, this is my elder sister’s friend.”

Mu Hao Tian turned his head to look at Mu Ru Yue upon saying that as he said, “Elder sister Xiao, elder sister Chu Yun was my elder sister’s best friend. She had been a great help to the Mu family these two years…”

It was unknown to him why he felt that elder sister Xiao didn’t seem to be friendly to elder sister Chu Yun… It was as though elder sister Chu Yun was her foe.

Glimmers danced in Mu Hao Tian’s eyes as he glanced discreetly at Chu Yun.

Chu Yun gradually recovered her expression as she extended her hand toward Mu Ru Yue and said, “Nice to meet you! I’m Chu Yun, Mu Ru Yue’s best friend. How may I call you?”

“Xiao.”

Mu Ru Yue simply replied with a word, obviously didn’t want to talk to Chu Yun. She didn’t even give Chu Yun a glance.

Chu Yun’s hand stiffened in mid-air as she embarrassedly put her hand down. But her eyes glanced at Mu Ru Yue.

‘I’ve never seen a woman that could have such a similar appearance to Mu Ru Yue, almost making me think that damnable girl had returned once again!

‘But I’ve personally seen that woman’s body being cremated so it will be impossible for her to appear again.’

“Young miss Xiao, you must be brought together to Yue Er by fate that even your appearance looks so similar.” Chu Yun looked at Mu Ru Yue with a fake smile, a trace of light flashed past her eyes.

Mu Ru Yue glanced at her indifferently as she said, “My face was disfigured when I first met her so I had done a plastic surgery according to her appearance.”

‘That sounds reasonable as for how could one have such a similar appearance unless they underwent plastic surgery or was identical twins? But the madam of the Mu family had only given birth to a son and a daughter so she definitely couldn’t be Mu Ru Yue’s blood sister.’

This made Mu Hao Tian glance curiously at Mu Ru Yue instead.

‘Yet, why do I feel that it isn’t that simple?

‘She was not only similar in appearance but also in her grandeur. Hence, I’ll always had the feeling elder sister has returned to my side whenever I look at her…’
