C313 Chalcedony (II) (1/2)

As for where Mulberry and Mu Yun had gone to, this pair of siblings did not even pay attention to them.

On this cold winter night, the two siblings were trembling as they snuggled together to keep each other warm.

Mu Fengchai always liked to wear pink dresses because, unbeknownst to anyone, she had such a complex feeling in her heart.

When she was young, the first beautiful long cotton-padded jacket she received was personally made for her by Mu Rousang, her beloved cousin.

Who would have thought that at such a young age, she would already know how to be envious?

In that case, whenever her elder sister came back from her aunt's house, she would always show off her pretty dress to her.

Never in her wildest dreams would she have thought that the first clothes she would receive would be the new year festival gift from her cousin.

At the hem of the pink cotton robe, there were a few cute and silly white jade rabbits embroidered with gold threads. They were extremely cute and adorable.

Later, when she went out to scour the house during the new year, she found out that those white rabbits were actually carried with real rabbit skin.

At that time, Qin Taohua stretched out her little finger with a face full of envy, and fiercely poked her forehead, chattering non-stop: ”Only if you are her little sister would she be so willing to waste it.”

At that time, Mu Fengchai was only about four years old. She only knew that she had been extremely happy that New Year's Eve, because she had a beautiful, long, cotton-padded jacket that everyone admired, making her the prettiest outfit in her memories.

So many years later, when she was too old to wear a pink dress, she still loved the pink material.

At that time, she had already been in the palace for several years, and no one knew what kind of mood she was in as a palace maid or a eunuch. She had a daughter, and most of the dresses she made for her daughter were sweet and pink like this.

Although Mu Yiyang had pacified Mu Fengchai that day, she still hated his parents from the bottom of his heart. And because of his useless father, ever since he had gotten along with Widow Li in the village, there had been no peace in this house.

The two of them competed in the Martial Competition at home all day, and they sparred with each other every so often.

She was only four years old, but after experiencing this, her mind gradually grew.

Once, when she was playing in the village, she heard the old man talk about his neighbors. He said that his stepmother had treated her family's child badly, but that child was a monkey who would cry and feel wronged.

Right now, her stepmother couldn't even hold her in her arms, so she had to wait and see how she lived.

Only those who cried would have milk to eat!

Mu Fengchai pondered for a long time. After that, when her parents fight, she became more obedient and good, as this move was useless in front of Mu Yun. Even though she was sometimes slow, but when she was in front of her brother Mu Yiyang, she knew that everything was normal.

As a result, whenever Mulberry and Mu Yun fought, she would always hide far away. When her brother returned, she wailed loudly, it was like she was wronged!

She had always wanted to get rid of this pair of heartless parents, and the only place that could accept her was at her cousin's home.

Of course, at that time, she didn't know what scheming was. She had a feeling that if she went to her cousin's house, she would be better off than she was now.

At least, her parents wouldn't casually beat her up when they were arguing.

She didn't want to be beaten again, so she wanted to go to her cousin's house.

She liked her soft-spoken cousin, though she didn't seem to like her much.

However, her brother Mu Yiyang had said that she did the wrong thing, which was why her cousin was unhappy.

She did not understand what she had done wrong.

She wanted to go and stay at her cousin's house to get her cousin's love. She wanted her cousin to love her too, just like how she loved Qin Taohua.

Finally, she found a chance.

For some reason, one day, his father, his elder cousin, and his elder brother were once again in an argument. From the look of his elder brother's angry expression, it seemed as if his father had done something wrong.

However, she couldn't understand their words.

She was scared. Somehow, she felt like this was an opportunity.

It was really a subconscious feeling.

She, who had been frightened, cried out loud, drawing Mu Yun's dislike. He gave her two backhanded slaps, and her skinny little face instantly became swollen like a bun, like a fat version of a doll.

Mu Fengchai's head was spinning and her cheeks were burning up. She was crying so hard that her heart was splitting apart and she didn't want to stay in this house anymore.

”Wuu, wuu, I will be beaten to death, I will be beaten to death.”

She did not know what was called bitter days, but she knew that her father had never liked her. When he was unhappy, he would beat her up.

She liked this cousin, wanted her to love her, wanted to be her own sister, the kind that was better than even sister Peach Blossom.

She did not deny that she was very jealous of her fellow village member, Qin Taohua.

However, due to Mu Yun's mistake, he was being beaten until his head was spinning and he did not have the time to care about.

Standing at the door, Mu Rousang, who was hiding far away, glanced at her.

Mu Fengchai hated her mother at times. Just like now, when both she and her brother had clearly been beaten up, in her mother's eyes, there would always be only this brother.
