Chapter 2633
2633 I Will Not Lose
In that instant.
He was like a malicious spirit who climbed up from the Yellow Springs. It made people’s hearts clench from fear.
Uh…
Qin Xuan subconsciously looked down at the ground. His second brother had a shadow…
It was so baffling. Why did he suddenly feel that his second brother was a malicious spirit?
Qin Xuan lowered his eyes speechlessly.
When he looked up again, he saw that his second brother had left the window and exited Butterfly Pavilion.

The Mu Estate.
It was located in the suburbs on the west side of the imperial capital.
It was surrounded by the winter forest, and the nearby mountains were basically cultivation grounds that belonged to the Mu Estate.
Of course, the Mu Estate only took up an extremely small plot of land in comparison to the entire imperial capital.
At this time, the Mu Estate’s main mountain gate was wide open, and so was the central door.
Everyone in the Mu Estate, no matter their age, were standing quietly on both sides of the pathway. They welcomed the crown prince couple inside with complicated gazes.
What happened on Changle Boulevard and at Lesheng Gate today could be considered a huge mental blow to the younger generation.
This crown prince consort was actually the true Eldest Young Lady of the Mu Estate, but now, the title of Eldest Young Lady had already been taken by Young Lady Rouxuan. Going by age, the crown prince consort should be the second young lady. However, the title of Second Young Lady had also been taken by Young Lady Rouyan.
Speaking of which, the crown prince consort’s situation in the Mu Clan was truly somewhat awkward.
In any case, the crown prince consort was the crown prince consort. They had to address her as that at home as well.
Qiao Mu and the crown prince walked in through the Mu Clan’s magnificent mountain gate while holding hands. They were guided toward the ancestral hall.
The largest area in the Mu Clan’s northeast direction was the resting area for clan disciples, while the core members of the Mu Clan rested in the courtyards in the southeast.
Heavy doors demarcated the two areas. Normal disciples were simply unable to enter the inner court area.
There were refining and forging areas on the west side.
The drill ground on the south side was where the clan disciples trained. Rows of closed-door cultivation rooms had also been set up there.
The conference hall was on the north side.
The ancestral hall was located at the extremity of the north side. It was very far away from the central buildings. It was hidden deep inside the forest. Rivers wrapped around the entrance, and it was an excellent location for Feng Shui.
The manager was respectful and did not dare cause trouble. He led the crown prince and the crown prince consort to the ancestral hall. He reflexively looked backwards at the patriarch Mu Cang.
The ancestral hall’s doors were already open.
Qiao Mu took Long Chuyun’s memorial tablet from Mo Lian. She nodded at him with her lips pressed together, and then she turned around and strode into the ancestral hall.
The ancestral hall creaked as it closed.
Qiao Mu looked coldly at all the memorial tablets placed in front of the smoky incense.
Qiao Mu passed over each of them with her gaze, stopping at the top.
The memorial tablet placed in the center was called: Mu Chaoyang.
This should be an ancestor of the Mu Clan.
Qiao Mu also placed her mother’s memorial tablet up there. She took out a clean white cloth from her inner world and carefully wiped it.
“Mother.”
She muttered to herself, “I will seek justice for you and help you investigate the truth. I will reclaim that pride that belongs to you.”
“Do not worry.”
“Your daughter will not lose!”
After properly situating her mother’s memorial tablet, she knelt down and respectfully kowtowed three times. Only then did she nimbly get up.
Her back was ramrod straight as she walked step by step to the entrance. She reached out to pull open the ancestral hall’s heavy door.
When the little lady’s thin and frail figure appeared at the ancestral hall, Mu Xingchen felt like he couldn’t breathe.
The little lady looked calm, but he inexplicably could feel the tempest she was suppressing in her heart…
