Chapter 533 Mu Family’s Fate
Chapter 533 Mu Family’s Fate
At the side, Nan Xin realized that her presence must be unwanted in this group. She silently bid her farewell to speak with her friends. It was at this moment she recalled that Mu Family was amongst the group of people whom her father invited.
But was Mu Fei Jiu supposedly among the invited?
Nan Xin didn't dwell on the matter any longer and moved towards her friends. In any case, she had no intention of researching about Mu Family. It was also a bit family, one that might be more powerful that her father.
Going against them was out of the question.
"She seems a bit different." Mu Fei Jiu looked in Nan Xin's direction for a moment then snickered, "But she's still the same in the inside."
Nan Hua chose not to comment. She merely looked at Mu Fei Jiu and said, "I didn't expect you to come."
"Why?"
"Mu Family didn't have strong relationship with Nan Family."
Mu Fei Jiu giggled and nodded. "If you're speaking about the fact that my father had no relationship with Nan Family, that's true. However, my uncle is working under your father and used to compete with him for this promotion. They're friends and also rival at the same time."
Nan Hua silently recalled the information she got about Mu Family. It was true that there was someone among Mu Family who was working with Nan Shu Cheng, but their relationship was not exactly close with each other. They only met briefly from time to time.
In fact, they were rivals that had bad relationship with one another.
"He's over there." Mu Fei Jiu pointed at one side with her chin.
Sweeping her gaze across the field, Nan Hua noticed the person Mu Fei Jiu meant and her eyes deepened. For some reasons, she felt that the man looked somewhat familiar with the drawings that her people had gathered.
"What's his name?"
"Huh? I don't think that he's that remarkable to the point that you will get interested." Mu Fei Jiu looked at Nan Hua deeply and replied faintly, "Mu Qian Kong."
Mu Qian Kong.
Now, Nan Hua remembered this name. It was exactly the name of the person whom she asked her subordinate to search information for a few months prior because she wanted to silently influence the politics. She didn't expect him to be Mu Fei Jiu's uncle.
The novel didn't mention this… no, it did mention this.
It was only now Nan Hua recalled Mu Family's fate even clearer. Back then, she only recalled the matter that was related to the rebellions and some brief description over what had happened afterwards. However, Nan Hua realized that it was not just imbalance in the court.
Mu Family was basically destroyed within a year after the second prince's rebellions.
And the ruse that caused it all….
Was this lovely looking young girl in front of her.
While it might sound absurd at one glance, the matter was not that simple. Both Mu Fei Xin and Mu Fei Jiu's father was the fourth son, which had the least qualification. He was the main son, but he was born with weak body and considered to be useless in the household as many people were looking at him in despise.
The fact that Mu Fei Xin was able to become a princess consort had elevated his position a bit in the family. But when it was announced that Prince Yang Lu would not become the emperor, his position fell to the bottom once more.
He had to live in hardship with his only daughter with him.
Because of his weak body, he didn't have any other child either. His wife had died earlier than him because she was unable to endure the harsh treatment in that household.
Only Mu Fei Jiu was still alive.
Thus, how could a child living in such harsh environment be such a bubbly and cheerful person?
The possibility was close to 0.
Mu Fei Jiu was never an innocent person. She was simply acting this way in order to pave a way of survival for both her and her father.
In the original story, Mu Fei Jiu appeared for one chapter. It was the very chapter that depicted the cruelty of a 11 years old girl, one that was far above what others could possibly imagine.
On the day the Second Prince's Rebellions failed and Mu Fei Xin died, Mu Fei Jiu's father fell sick. With his sickly body and broken heart, it didn't take long for him to die. He was filled with grievances because he felt that his daughter was wronged and that it was impossible for his daughter to stage rebellions.
Even until his death, not a single member of Mu Family cared.
They barely give him proper burial. Only Mu Fei Jiu was filled with sadness and visited her father's graveyard almost every single day for the first week. She was devastated because she lost both her sister and her father in such a short time span.
Those who cared for her died so fast that she couldn't do anything.
Mu Fei Jiu started to gather the evidence of what her uncle and other families did. Everything, one by one, she gathered slowly while acting as an innocent and bright girl under their eyes.
When it was time, she presented it all to the Emperor.
Thus, the entire Mu Family clan was destroyed because of a single girl who was not an adult yet. How she did it was never depicted, but it was said that Mu Fei Jiu's appearance was ghastly. Under the cover of her clothes, there were many abuse mark that couldn't fade even with medicine.
Mu Fei Jiu simply smiled and said that it was worth it.
After finishing it all, Mu Fei Jiu disappeared.
No one knew where she went or whether she was still alive or death. Once she had finished her revenge, Mu Fei Jiu had no other intention of staying in the limelight anymore. Her name was tarnished and being a young girl, no one was willing to accept her.
