Chapter 12 Regret
Mu Qingqian wondered if her biological father knew King Han. If so, would it be possible for her to catch King Han's eye?
Thinking of this, she puffed out her chest. She was prettier and cuter than Mu Qingqing. Unlike Mu Qingqing, she was not a lady at all.

Under Mu Qingqian's expectant gaze, King Han finally remembered who Chen Baixin was.

He sneered, "Chen Baixin, like father, like daughter. Back then, Chen Baixin deserted the battlefield and colluded with the enemy, resulting in the deaths of tens of thousands of soldiers."

Mu Qingqian took a while to digest these words, and screamed, "Impossible, you lied to me, my father is a hero, a hero!"

The smile on the corners of King Han's lips faded, and he narrowed his eyes slightly, "Why? Do you think I'm lying to you?"

Mu Qingqian shuddered all over and finally remembered that the person in front of him was King Han.

"No, no, I'm not saying you're lying to me, but my father is a hero, how could he be a deserter?"

Her heart was pounding and she just couldn't believe such words.

King Han snorted coldly, "I am not lying. Back then, Chen Baixin was secretly escorted to the capital. He was originally going to be executed along with his entire clan. But your mother was a strong-willed woman. She knew that your father was sentenced to death, so she crashed into the palace and died, giving you a chance to survive."

"No one was willing to adopt you back then. Even though you were just a baby of a few months old, you were still the enemy of many people."

"More than 10,000 lives have been lost because of your father. Their relatives would not hesitate to cut you into pieces."

"In the end, it was General Mu who took pity on you and offered to adopt you. He treated you as his adopted daughter and loved you as much as his legitimate daughter!"

Mu Qingqian stared at him blankly, muttering, "How is it possible?"

No wonder General Mu had never mentioned her biological father in front of her, she still heard it by accident.

Mu Qingqian's eyes were red and she looked at Mu Qingqing in a hoarse voice.

"Didn't Dad say that my father saved his life? That's why he adopted me, an orphan?"

Mu Qingqing laughed as if she heard a joke, "Dad just wants you to accept the gift from the Mu family with peace of mind, so that those jealous people can shut up. Tsk tsk, it's a pity that you are too ungrateful."

"Just like King Han said, this is the blood in your bones, like father, like daughter."

The last words kept echoing in Mu Qingqian's ears. It turned out that she was not the daughter of a hero, and it turned out that her father had never saved General Mu's life.

That's why her parents treat her differently.

Yes, it was different treatment. She always felt that her parents were unfair to her and did not like her.

"No wonder, no wonder parents only treat you well."

At this moment, Mu Qingqian didn't feel that she was wrong.

Mu Qingqing had never expected anything from her, so as for her sudden realization, well, she wouldn't be able to wait for that even in her next life.

"You said my parents were good to me? Do you think they abused you?"

Mu Qingqian didn't say anything, but the meaning was very clear.

Mu Qingqing rubbed her forehead, too lazy to tell the difference.

"Since we were eight years old, our monthly salary has increased from five taels to ten taels now. We also have double the amount of headwear and clothes. As for the carriage, haha, wasn't that your own request? Two years ago, you insisted on keeping a low profile and told others that you didn't want to steal your sister's limelight."

"You put away all the jewelry your mother gave you. You keep your face plain and wear plain clothes all day. Isn't it just to show that you are being treated unfairly?"

"Every time you have a fever or get sick, mother will stay by your side and take care of you day and night."

"My brothers were afraid that you would be bullied in the girls' school, so they often took turns to pick you up. How much pocket money did my third brother give you?"

Mu Qingqian's face flushed red, and the gazes from the people around her made her feel like she was sitting on pins and needles.

"That's different..." "How is it different? To put it bluntly, you are just not satisfied. You think everyone owes you something. You think your father is your father's savior. Our whole family should support you. But, why?"

Yes, why? No one in the Mu family owed her anything, and they even raised such an adopted daughter, provided her with food and clothing, and never abused her. What was the result?
Mu Qingqian finally felt a trace of guilt, but only a little.

"I just don't accept it. Why do you have the status of a legitimate daughter? Why doesn't mother register me as her own? The marriages that were secretly arranged for you were all good, but when it came to me, they were all ugly. You owe me, you owe me..."

Mu Qingqian shook his head like a madman, saying that it was the Mu family's fault and Mu Qingqing's fault.

There were whispers all around, and everyone looked at Mu Qingqian in disbelief.

"Is this second young lady crazy? If these don't work, what else do you want?"

"That's right. She's an orphan. It's great that someone is willing to pamper her like this. What else does she want?"

"They are so young, and their mother is already planning marriages? How is that possible? I'm fourteen years old, and I'm just starting to talk about marriage. Where did she hear that from?"

The eyes and voices around her made Mu Qingqian regain some sanity. Yes, they were so young, how could their mother let them get married? Who told her that her mother wanted to marry her to the son of her father's subordinate, who was also a cripple.

I want to marry my sister to the third prince and make him the prince’s consort.

That's why she started to act miserable outside, deliberately approaching Chu Hongyuan, and even framed Mu Qingqing...

She raised her head and looked at the people around her. The looks in their eyes were so scary. Why were they mocking me? Why were they scolding me? I just wanted to live a good life, better than Mu Qingqing.

"Don't hurt me, don't scold me, I didn't do anything, they forced me to do it, those are all mine, mine."

From the initial mumbling to the later hysteria.

Everyone was so scared that they quickly hid far away. Someone whispered, "Is this person suffering from paranoia?"

Manman walked to Mu Qingqing and held her hand. In Manman's opinion, Qingqing would be sad, after all, she had been treated as her younger sister for so many years.

Mu Qingqing looked at Mu Qingqian with a complicated expression. She deserved it. She wanted to kill her. It was her who caused the tragic death of her family and she herself did not have a good end. It would not be an exaggeration to cut her into pieces.

But it doesn’t matter, we have plenty of time to have fun.

The eldest princess wanted to send the person back because he had mental problems. She was in a bad mood and had ruined the banquet.

At this moment, a loud shout was heard, "Mu Qingqian, if you feel that the Mu family has let you down, then return the Mu family's surname. You are not worthy of the surname Mu."

The business was immature and the emotions were clearly not under control.

Mu Qingqing saw the figure of the third brother at a glance.

He greeted him with a smile, "Third brother, you are here."

Mu Jingchao came back to his senses, looked at his younger sister, and seeing that she was not injured, he looked at Mu Qingqian lying on the ground.

He had been there for a while when the maid from the Mu Mansion called him over, saying that something had happened to Mu Qingqing in the Princess's Mansion.

I didn't expect to hear Mu Qingqian's accusation against the Mu family as soon as I arrived.

Although he didn't like this younger sister, whenever they gave something to Mu Qingqing, they would give a portion to Mu Qingqian. Moreover, his mother always loved his two younger sisters and treated them equally.

It was only in the past two years that Mu Qingqian went too far, which made several people feel disappointed.

Mu Qingqian finally regained her senses. When she saw her third brother, her eyes suddenly narrowed with a hint of panic.

"Third Brother!"
