Chapter 2683
2683 Eldest Brother Knows His Mistake
“Someone come.” Mu Xingchen roared resolutely.
Immediately, two Mu Clan hidden guards silently drifted inside. They stood solemnly in front of Mu Xingchen, not daring to even breathe loudly.
“Tie her up and send her to Madam to deal with.”
...
“Yes.” How would the two hidden guards dare to say any more? They directly picked up the old woman and the young married woman carrying the child before swiftly leaving with a swish.
“Qiaoqiao, Eldest Brother will have someone renovate this court for you. It will take around five to six days. You can then see what you plan to do with it.”
Qiao Mu nodded her petite head, accepting Mu Xingchen’s show of goodwill.
“Do you feel unwell?” She could feel the low pressure around him.
His father had been deceiving him all these years. It was truly unpresentable when it was his children exposing him.
Mu Xingchen felt a bit bitter on the inside, but he still forced a smile. “Eldest Brother is fine.”
“Qiaoqiao, Eldest Brother has been muddle-headed all these years. I never knew that you were living such a hard life in the Lower Star Domain.”
“It wasn’t that hard,” Qiao Mu thought, /She had never allowed herself to suffer in this lifetime./
She had better clarify this point with the man in front of her so that he wouldn’t feel even more inexplicably upset.
Mu Xingchen was taken aback. He automatically found it funny.
He had originally wanted to pet his younger sister’s head, but he didn’t dare without her permission.
He just looked at her carefully like this and said, “Qiaoqiao, Eldest Brother can’t make up for what happened in the past. But from now on, can Eldest Brother take good care of you?”
Mo Lian quickly pulled his wifey to his side and looked vigilantly at Mu Xingchen.
As expected, he felt that his instinct was very on point. This brother-in-law had come to contend with him for Qiaoqiao’s favor!
Yet Qiao Mu looked at Mu Xingchen without saying anything for a long time.
“Do you know the Long Clan of Wangchuan Sea?”
Mu Xingchen was startled, but he nodded.
No matter how dumb he was, he did know his maternal family.
“More than ten years ago, the imperial capital’s Long Clan joined hands with the Gu Clan among others to rob the main family of its resources. Are you aware of this?”
Mu Xingchen quickly shook his head.
“Be smarter in the future!” Qiao Mu couldn’t resist chastising him. “Don’t be so silly all day long and believe everything other people say!”
“Back then, Mother had assembled a group of people to fight the imperial capital’s Long Clan. Mu Jingfeng, this good-for-nothing, was worried that Mother would embroil the Mu Clan, so he and a bunch of bastard elders forced her to scram.”
“He wouldn’t tell you about this at all.”
Mu Xingchen clenched his fists tightly.
Father simply did not explain it like this to him.
“He must have told you that Mother abandoned her husband and son and left the Mu Clan on her own due to some trivial matters.” Qiao Mu pursed her lips cynically. “You never suspected it?”
“I…” Mu Xingchen was at a loss for words.
He was still young at that time, so when he heard his father say this, a thorn had been planted in his small heart. When he grew up, this thorn took root and sprouted, growing stronger and stronger.
Thinking back on it now, he had wholeheartedly believed back then without any verification that his mother had abandoned him. Sure enough, he was absurdly stupid. Qiaoqiao was not wrong in scolding him at all.
“Qiaoqiao, Eldest Brother knows his mistake. Are you willing to give Eldest Brother a chance to take care of you now?” Mu Xingchen asked softly as he looked at Qiao Mu with bright eyes.
“It’s fine with just me taking care of Qiaoqiao.” Mo Lian quickly interjected, “Eldest Brother, you go do what you need to do. You can just come to visit my Qiaoqiao when you’re free.”
