Chapter 4 Blind eyes and blind hearts
Mu Qingqing had a fever again in the early morning, and Madam Mu lay on the couch next to her, hardly closing her eyes.

The next morning, Mu Qingqing opened her eyes and saw her mother lying on her bed. Her nose felt sore and her eyes turned red.

"mother……"

The voice was so small that it was almost inaudible, but Madam Mu immediately raised her head.

She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her daughter wake up. "Mom is here. Feel her to see if she has a fever."

As he said this, he raised his right hand and rested it on Mu Qingqing's forehead for a while, then touched his own forehead.

"Great, the fever is gone. Qingqing, are you hungry? You didn't eat anything last night. I asked the kitchen to make some millet porridge. We have to eat light food when we are sick."

My mother is a quick-tempered person. She does whatever she wants to do immediately.

He stood up, tucked the quilt for Mu Qingqing, and then walked out.

She watched her mother walk out of the room with tears in her eyes. She really wanted to talk to her mother, but she couldn't act too abnormally. There was still a long time to go and she still had a chance.

She blinked and stared at the ceiling for a while, and then she felt a sense of reality.

"Haha, it's great to be back..."

Yes, that’s great. The Mu family is still there, and my parents and my brother and sister-in-law are still alive. They were not killed by her.

At this moment, several heads suddenly appeared at the door, they were the eldest brother, the second brother, and the third brother.

Seeing that the person was in a trance, Jing Yang pushed Jing Chao out.

Mu Qingqing heard the noise and turned around, and saw her third brother making a noise and grinning at her foolishly.

"Little sister, are you feeling better?"

Someone took the lead, and two others followed.

"Little sister, how are you?"

Seeing the concern of the three people, Mu Qingqing couldn't help but look at them with red eyes.

The eldest brother died tragically for Chu Hongyuan's empire. Although the second brother is alive, he lost his legs and is no longer the high-spirited military strategist. The third brother invested all the money he earned into the army without any complaints, but ended up with a tragic death. And my parents...

She only hated herself for being so blind and falling in love with the heartless scumbag devil.

Dad and his brothers have always been pessimistic about Chu Hongyuan, knowing the true face behind his hypocritical mask.

Yes, his family tried to persuade him so much, but failed to change his mind. In the end, for Mu Qingqing, he had to help Chu Hongyuan.

She sniffed and said softly, "Brother, I'm fine, don't worry, I just caught a cold."

"You three brats, don't disturb your sister's rest."

A loud shout was heard. It was Dad’s voice. The three of them shrank their necks like quails.

Mu Qingqing's heart was shocked and she couldn't help but look towards the door, only to see General Mu walking in from outside.

Mu Qingqing wanted to sit up and see the face in her memory clearly.

He is still as vigorous and energetic as before, and the white hair in my memory has not appeared yet.

"father……"

His daughter's gentle voice immediately changed General Mu's expression, and his eyes were full of love.

"Now you're awake, are you feeling unwell? Did your brothers disturb you?"

After saying that, he looked at his three disappointing sons and said, "I told you not to disturb your sister, but you all ignored me."

Wow, his expression changed so quickly. The three sons couldn’t refute and just stood there obediently to be scolded.

"Dad, I'm fine. I'm awake. My brothers didn't disturb me!"

Mu Qingqing rescued her three brothers, and General Mu stopped pursuing the matter. He just wanted to hear whatever his daughter said.

Several people were talking in the room when my mother came over with the maid to bring food.

When he looked up, he saw Qinghe, the girl, looking at him worriedly. Yes, it was Qinghe who saved him when he encountered the bandits this time. Unfortunately, Lian'er died. If he could come back earlier, maybe he could have saved Lian'er.

Lian'er is a few years older than her. Her mother specially placed her by her side to protect her and she has some skills.

"Mother, have you found Lian'er?"

As I recall, because I was unconscious for several days, my family didn't look for Lian'er. When they found Lian'er's body, it had been horribly mutilated by wild beasts.

Mrs. Mu naturally wanted to give a proper burial to the person who protected her daughter. Since her daughter mentioned it, she thought she didn't know that Lian'er was dead.

"Qingqing, don't worry. Mother has already asked someone to find Lian'er."

If you fall from such a high cliff, you would probably be dead long ago.

Mu Qingqing nodded and could not continue asking.

This time the bandit incident became known to everyone, and with the help of people who spread it, the rumors in the capital were unfavorable to her.

Thinking of the instigator of this incident, Yun Chang's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

To be honest, no one would think that anything would happen if a 12-year-old young lady from the Mu family was ignored. However, there was a rumor that the bandit leader liked young girls and that Mu Qingqing had lost her innocence long ago.

By the time Mu Qingqing woke up and the Mu family wanted to suppress the rumors, there was no chance anymore.

It’s just right now, we woke up early and there’s still a chance.

"Second brother, I wonder when Miss Li will come back?"

Speaking of Miss Li, the second brother's eyes flickered with coldness, "Miss Li hasn't come back yet. She said she went to another courtyard halfway, so she didn't know about the bandit incident."

What a good word "not knowing". Mu Qingqing snorted coldly, "I guess there are a lot of bad rumors out there!"

Jing Yang was silent for a while, then nodded, "That's true, but my second brother is already suppressing it."

The others listened to the two people talking in silence, and Mrs. Mu fed them millet porridge little by little with a spoon.

"Second brother, this matter is closely related to Miss Li. I don't want her to have nothing to do."

Thinking of how Miss Li seemed to be so kind to her but had hurt her so badly in her previous life, she closed her eyes to hide her murderous intent.

As expected, the second brother Jingyang snorted coldly and thought of countless ways of punishment in his mind. If anyone dared to touch his sister, he would make the other person live a life worse than death.

Several men gritted their teeth and even wanted to knock on the door directly.

"Don't worry, sister. I will never let her go."

Mu Qingqing opened her eyes and glanced at her second brother. The second brother was the smartest in the family.

"Brother, the recent rumors may not have reached their worst point yet. I want you to spread a message."

"Sister, you say!"

"Miss Li was abducted to the mountain on her way back. The bandits were shocked when they saw her. Ahem..."

"The bandits like young girls, so Miss Li told the bandits about her good friend Mu Qingqing. As soon as she was robbed up the mountain, she was rescued by King Han, so Mu Qingqing was not harmed!"

Several people listened carefully, and no one thought that their daughter and sister were cruel. After all, it was Miss Li's conspiracy that started first.

"Brother, go and make the arrangements first. I'm afraid that if it's too late, another version will appear."

"Okay, second brother will go right away."

After everyone left, everyone was still looking at her worriedly. Madam Mu put the dishes and chopsticks on the table and said, "Qingqing, it's too easy to treat that person like this. Remember, it's best to kill him in one go so that he won't be able to turn over."

Madam Mu was not an ignorant lady in the inner chamber, so she naturally understood these principles.

Mu Qingqing nodded, feeling touched. This was family. No one thought she was cruel. After all, it only took a little while for Mu Qingqing to get hurt.

Looking at her family, she felt like she was reborn. The feeling was too real. It was like God was giving her a chance to start over.
