Chapter 1269 - The Regretful Mu Ling
“Chen Qingyan, I hate you!”
Her eyes were bloodshot and her hatred was intense. “However, I will not continue to be humiliated here with you. I cannot accept not being able to just die in peace! I just hope that I will no longer be your daughter in the next life!”
Before Chen Qingyan and the rest were able to react in time, Mu Huan had already quickly snatched a sword from the hand of a guard who was standing nearby. With a ripping sound, she had ruthlessly stabbed the sword through her own body.
Blood bloomed from her chest like a flower as the corner of her lips lifted into a smile that contained relief.
Back then, when she had first acknowledged Master Hai Rong as her master, mother had instructed her more than once, that she definitely needed to stay by Master Hai Rong’s side forever. Only then would Mu Xi have a chance to fight in the Mu family, only then would there be a possibility of the old master acknowledging them in the future.
It was as if her birth had been a mistake right from the start…
However, she had always thought that her mother was just a little biased as Mu Xi was younger than her.
She had never thought that her mother would actually trick her into selling her body for Mu Xi…
Furthermore, she would never have guessed that Chen Qingyan would rather choose to leave Mu Xi’s corpse intact than to actually care about her life.
Pfft…
She was a living person, yet she could not even compete against one who had left this world.
Not knowing how…
Just moments before she died, Mu Huan suddenly felt a little sense of admiration toward Feng Ruqing.
At least, Feng Ruqing had the love of her biological parents, and a mother-in-law like Suyi who loved her…
“Huan’er!”
Seeing Mu Huan’s eyes draining of life before her final breath, it was as if Chen Qingyan’s heart was ruthlessly attacked. The blood on her face drained as she quickly ran over to Mu Huan.
“Huan’er!!!”
She tightly hugged Mu Huan, whose body was covered in blood. Pain could be seen in her eyes.
The corner of Mu Huan’s lips tugged. “If… I were a boy and Mu Xi was a girl, would you have chosen to protect me instead?”
“I…” Chen Qingyan’s heart shuddered.
Mu Huan was her biological daughter. Even a ruthless tiger would not eat its own children, but she really had no choice!
Mu Xi was her only son, she could not let him really die without peace…
“Huan’er, forgive me. I was forced into the corner.”
Two trails of tears were streaming down Chen Qingyan’s face. “If you want someone to hate, then hate your father and Nan Suyi. It is he who had pushed us to the brink of death. It is not I, your mother, who wishes to give up on you…”
Until the end, Chen Qingyan was still trying to push all the blame to someone else.
She did not wish for her own daughter to carry her lifelong hatred toward her to hell.
Mu Huan laughed sardonically.
“I only hate the fact that I am not a boy. Therefore, it was my fault to have allowed myself to be used by you, to have been abandoned by you.”
Seeing Mu Huan’s eyes filled with hatred, Chen Qingyan’s body trembled as she sadly lowered her gaze a little.
Xi’er was a male. Regardless of how useless he was, he was still her foundation. Mu Huan as the elder sister, sacrificing for him was something she should do. Therefore, she could not understand what exactly she did wrong, up to the point where… Huan’er hated her in the end.
Under the morning light, Mu Huan bled more and more until the ground beneath her was dyed red. Her eyes slowly shut as she gradually lost her breath.
This time, Mu Huan had made a wise choice.
She understood that if she survived, what awaited her was definitely hell.
Therefore, she might as well just die right away, lest she received punishment.
Chen Qingyan obviously had also thought of this and took the advantage when Mu Ling was not paying attention. She drew out the sword from Mu Huan’s chest and aimed it at her own heart, violently stabbing herself with it.
