Chapter 2222: The Past Life 147

Mu Yi closed his eyes. All the words that he said to the Ninth Emperor just now… There was no way to repeat them.

And he no longer knew how to face her.

What he had always believed in also shattered with this moment, making his heart sink.

“If you did not leave back then…” Mu Yi opened his eyes sorrowfully. “Perhaps it would not have turned out like this.”

The Ninth Emperor pursed her lips and fell silent.

A few seconds later, she turned to Mu Yi.

There was a coldness in her eyes.

“If there was Mu Qingya, I’m afraid the ending would be the same, and it has nothing to do with me leaving or not. And perhaps she would have died much earlier…”

Mu Yi was shocked. “You… You are blaming your father for marrying another wife back then?”

“You overthink. Old Lady Mu has always been greedy for power. You are destined to marry Qingluo. With them in, Mu Qingya would have eventually turned out like the person she is today.”

She smiled faintly. “So, as long as Mu Qingya has this kind of nature, sooner or later she will make the same mistakes, and whether I stay in this place or not, it does not matter.”

All people were born as blank slates and shaped by parents.

With the nature of Princess Qing Luo and Old Lady Mu, Mu Qingya would still become so…

So, this had nothing to do with whether she left the Mu family or not.

The Ninth Emperor turned around and left without so much as glancing at Mu Yi again.

She was a little hungry and just wanted to go to the restaurant to dine. If she stayed too long, she was afraid that even her appetite would disappear…

She got Nan Changfeng to help her keep an eye on Di Ming yesterday, so no one was there to cook for her. She could only come out to eat.

Mu Yi looked at the Ninth Emperor leave and could not come back to his senses for a long time.

A few seconds later, he turned around and walked back to the emperor’s son-in-law’s manor.

Although the place was still the emperor’s son-in-law’s manor, the plaque had long been removed. The guards and servants had also run away, leaving only some people.

The whole courtyard looked deserted.

Mu Yi walked into the courtyard and saw Old Lady Mu, who was full of resentment.

Old Lady Mu rushed toward Mu Yi furiously.

“Why haven’t you ever told me that Little Nine is not your child?”

Mu Yi sneered. “You didn’t like them, so what makes you think I will tell you? She might end up miserably if I told you that.”

He knew his mother. Every time he tried to disobey her, she would confront him with the statement that it was not easy to bring him up on her own.

In the end, he chose to obey her, and he would end up in such a situation.

The only time he did not listen to his mother was to marry Princess Qingluo. Only. Only later, his mother had told him that Princess Qingluo had fought to save her life, and he immediately accepted her.

In the end, this turned out to be the biggest joke of all!

‘Hahahahaha!’

Mu Yi laughed. Tears flowed from his eyes, and his pale weathered face was filled with despair.

Old Lady Mu froze for a moment, perhaps not understanding why Mu Yi seemed crazy again.

It might be because Mu Qingya was dead…
