“Little Nine!”

Suddenly, Mu Yi called out to the Ninth Emperor.

The Ninth Emperor stopped in her tracks.

She turned to the person behind her, with her snow-colored robe shallowly raised in the wind.

“Although you are not my daughter, I have… I have always been nice to you!” Mu Yi closed his eyes in sorrow.

This time, he admitted the true ident.i.ty of the Ninth Emperor.

It indirectly proved that he also had long known that the Ninth Emperor was not his biological daughter.

“When I first met your mother, I was unaware that she was pregnant. I only knew that she had lost her memory and did not remember anything.

“But back then, I had no intention to leave her. As long as she was willing to stay, not to mention having me raise her daughter, whatever I was asked to do, I was willing to do it.

“But it was me who was wrong…” Mu Yi closed his eyes. “It was I who failed to protect her, which made her suffer so much aggravation and also made her suffer from my mother's torture. ”

The Ninth Emperor pursed her lips and did not speak.

It was also because of his kindness in raising her back then that she had never bothered Mu Yi.

However, every time these people came to the door, it looked like they were seeking death.

“Your mother and I were husband and wife, but we had never been like a real couple…” He opened his eyes slowly. “She had always refused to share a room with me, even though we were married. ”

The Ninth Emperor was shocked. This was beyond what she thought.

Back then, Mu Yi was sincere to her mother…

However, her mother did not have the same feelings for him.

Mu Yi smiled bitterly. Seeing that the Ninth Emperor did not speak, he continued, “Later, your mother left, leaving you behind. What do you think I was supposed to do? For your mother's sake, I adopted you, and in the end, it was you who wanted to leave.”

The Ninth Emperor lowered her gaze and laughed. “If I didn't leave, I'm afraid… I would have been sold by you, right?”

When she said that, Mu Yi's heart trembled. He then raised his head and looked at the Ninth Emperor with a look of dismay in his gaze.

His voice trembled.

“You… Know it all?”

The Ninth Emperor laughed. “I overheard it. So why should I stay? To be sold by you to others as a concubine?”

Mu Yi's face was pale, clenching his fists.

Back then, Little Nine was beautiful even at a young age, and many people wanted her despite her age, only that those family members were all commoners.

Later, his mother suggested… To sell Little Nine as a concubine.

Back then, the Mu family's status was not high, and it was too difficult to marry his daughter to a good family as an official wife, and finally, they could only make her a concubine.

He told his mother back then that he wanted to go back and think about it first.

In fact, back then, he was still quite selfish. Little Nine was not his daughter, and his mother knew about it. Later, when his wife was gone, he intended to leave her but was worried that she would starve out there.

If she had been sold as a concubine, at least she would have a place and food and might have lived in luxury.

However, he rejected his mother's suggestion after two days of consideration…

He knew the Ninth Emperor's temper. She would disagree, and if he did so, he would feel apologetic to his late wife.

Yet, he did not expect Little Nine to have heard these words and left home furiously.
