The General's Little Peasant Wife

Chapter 935: Why?

Translator: Vesper

Mu Chen wrapped his arms in front of his chest and looked at Mu Xue.

She looked totally guilty and yet she dared to say that she hadn’t done anything?

He pulled over a chair from the side and sat on it. Then, he looked at Mu Xue sitting opposite him with a faint expression.

“I’m not here to clean up your mess today.” Mu Chen spoke directly, his words a little unpleasant.

“Brother, what do you mean?” Mu Xue raised her head subconsciously to look at Mu Chen. She really did not understand what he meant.

“What do I mean? Have you had enough fun messing with people? Why do you still want to look for Xiao Qi Feng? Is it not enough that you have already betrayed us?” Mu Chen asked Mu Xue blandly as he glared coldly at her.

Mu Xue’s eyes flashed with obvious confusion and panic. She could say whatever she liked when she wasn’t facing Mu Chen and the others.

But facing them now, she knew that he was very clever. But she did not expect him to see through her.

“Brother, I...I am not.”

“No? Not what? Didn’t you bring Xiao Qi Feng to our courtyard? Didn’t you betray us? Why did you do it? Is it just because you wanted those meaningless things?” Mu Chen’s expression was cold as he looked at Mu Xue with ice cold eyes.

Mu Xue bit her lip tightly. She was very sad by Mu Chen’s accusation. She looked up at Mu Chen with obvious anger in her eyes.

“I know you have a good relationship with Ning Meng Yao, but I am your sister. Why are you helping that woman and not me? I have become like this now, I have forgotten many things. Why do you guys treat me so badly?” Mu Xue looked at them with deplorable eyes. She could not help but get angry.

She clearly deserved to have a lot of things. But just because of those unwarranted things, they deprived her of her memories. Who did they think they were?

“I also have a share of Tong Bao Zhai’s things. I just want to get my own things back. What’s wrong with that?” Mu Xue said in a matter-of-fact tone, while looking at Mu Chen.

Mu Chen and Situ Xuan stood there watching her silently, without interrupting her.

“Are you done?” After Mu Xue vented enough, Mu Chen spoke coldly when she really had nothing else to say.

Mu Xue was stunned, somewhat frightened by Mu Chen’s gaze.

“I... I...”

“Although you have forgotten those things, Mu Xue, I still remember everything. Without her, you’ll be nothing now. Without her, we won’t even be alive now, and neither would you be living the life of luxury that you have now. But you? How did you repay her? I don’t expect you to be like me, but at least you shouldn’t have betrayed us.” Mu Chen’s expectations for Mu Xue were really very low. Before erasing Mu Xue’s memory, Mu Chen had persuaded her. But the result was not so good.

“I don’t believe you. Whatever I have today is because of my own effort. Why should I thank her?” Yes, they must be lying to her now. Just to make her feel guilty and unhappy.

Situ Xuan could not help but shake her head, looking at Mu Xue’s unreasonable attitude.

“When you were thirteen, you had smallpox. You almost died because of it that time. And yet, the then eleven-year-old Ning Meng Yao went to look for Grandpa Hei. She knelt in the snow for a whole day before she could get Grandpa Hei’s consent and saved your life. What about her? She lay in bed for the next ten days just to recover, because she fell ill. If it was not for Grandpa Hei who found out about it and treated her, she might not be a mother now.” Situ Xuan watched Mu Chen slowly talk about the things that happened in the past.

Only God knew how shocked they were when Grandpa Hei brought the pale-faced Ning Meng Yao back.

After learning that Grandpa Hei had given Mu Xue the required treatment, Ning Meng Yao fainted immediately. She had high fever for the next three days before her temperature gradually lowered. However, since then her body has had some issues. She would feel an excruciating pain as if something pierced into her bones during winters.

In the past few years, she would basically stay inside the house during winters. Only this way could she lessen the pain. But this is what she got now for the effort she put in to save Mu Xue?
