Chapter 1264 - The Truth (2/2)

Mu Huan had only regained her senses when she heard a loud cry.

She turned her head to look over and saw Chen Qingyan rus.h.i.+ng over to kneel by the pit with tears of despair flowing down her face.

Suddenly, Chen Qingyan raised her head and glared at Mu Ling with hatred, her eyes full of resentment.

“Mu Xi was your son, your biological son! How could you see him die right before you without doing anything?! How could you!”

Chen Qingyan was not even so angry when Mu Huan was being tortured by the huge pot earlier on.

Now that her beloved son had died, her greatest hope in life was also lost!

Mu Ling remained stunned as he stared at Mu Xi who was lying at the bottom of the pit and sorrow flashed in his eyes.

This life, regardless of how many bad things he had done, he had still given the best to his children.

Mu Xi had been with him for so many years. To have so suddenly lost him and to say that he was not sad… was absolutely impossible.

A human was not a plant. How could he not have feelings?

It was just that Mu Ling did not say a word this time around, keeping his silence.

Chen Qingyan laughed out loud.

Her laughter was maniacal.

“Mu Ling, I can tell you something. The poison your mother suffered from back then, was actually a poison I administered.”

Mu Ling shuddered. He looked at Chen Qingyan in shock and anger. “What did you say?”

“I heard my mother talking to your mother back then. My mother wanted us to be engaged at a young age, allowing me to marry you when I grew up. However, your mother rejected it…

“In the Mu family, I have always been living under charity. Those servants looked down on me as they felt that we were eating and drinking without contributing back to the Mu family, relying on your mother!

“So, since then, I swore, I would not always have such days. I would turn things around, I wanted to make those who looked down on me to have to rely on my whims and fancies for survival in the future.”
