Enchantress Amongst Alchemists: Ghost King’s Concubine

Chapter 749 -Madam Sheng Yue’s Family Background Part 3

“Elder brother?” Madam Sheng Yue was startled before lifting her head to Senior Dan and asked, “Is my elder brother alright?”

“He is doing rather well. The maid servant that used your mother’s identity has been unable to be impregnated for so many years. Since your elder brother is the only successor of the Dou family, she naturally can’t treat him badly. Yet, it is unknown why your elder brother isn’t close to her…”

“As the proverb says, ‘blood is thicker than water’. As a son, he will be more sensitive toward his mother.” Madam Sheng Yue smiled coldly as she continued, “Moreover, an imposter will always just be an imposter after all. There will always be a lack of sincerity no matter how well she treated him…”

Madam Sheng Yue lowered her gaze slightly while she said that. A trace of a cold ray of light flashed past her eyes.

“I want to personally make a trip to the East Island.”

Senior Dan stayed silent for a while before suggesting, “Actually, I’m in favour of what the little girl said. It will suffice for her to settle this matter. It is redundant for you to make a trip. You should just wait for everything to settle before heading there. It is equivalent to be going against the Devil Sect that is backing the Dou family if you want to deal with that girl after all. The little girl has sufficient power to protect herself while facing the Devil Sect. You will just be a burden to her instead if you head there as well.”

Madam Sheng Yue wanted to say something, but she didn’t voice it in the end…

“Yue Er, you have just returned. You should rest for a couple of days before departing.” Madam Sheng Yue turned her head toward Mu Ru Yue before continuing, “Moreover, your father and grandfather has just gone to the Pill Tower. You should at least wait for their return…”

“Mother, perhaps my uncles will face trouble if I head there too late. Even if that girl won’t make a move them now, what if they discover her identity? She would definitely assassinate them. Don’t worry, I will do my best to return quickly…”

Mu Ru Yue gripped onto Madam Sheng Yue’s hand while she said with determination-filled eyes.  

“Alright,” Madam Sheng Yue sighed lightly before saying, “Just remember that no matter what happens, you are to stay safe! Nothing is more important than you in mother’s heart. If you face with danger, just come back as quickly as you can. Please don’t overdo it.”

Mu Ru Yue smiled as she shifted her gaze to Ye Wu Chen who was standing by her side from the start.

“Mother, do you think that I will face any danger with Wu Chen by my side?”

‘I believe that nothing will be able to hurt me with him by my side!’

“Mother,” Ye Si Huang smiled innocently as he asked, “Can I come along?”

A glimmer flickered in Mu Ru Yue’s eyes before she nodded slightly and agreed, “Alright…”

She failed to notice that a trace of a sinister cold ray of light had flashed past Ye Si Huang’s eyes when he asked that with his gaze slightly lowered.

‘Devil Sect?’

A bloodthirsty glow shone past in his eyes with his smile similarly ruthless. Yet, it was only for an instant before he recovered his innocent and pure expression…

“Elder sister, you are leaving so soon?” Xiao Qing Qing blinked her eyes before looking pitifully at Mu Ru Yue as she said, “I had not seen elder sister in so many years…”

“I will immediately come back after settling this matter.” Mu Ru Yue lowered her head to look at the young girl’s pitiful expression with a smile. Following that, she turned her head toward Ye Wu Chen and Ye Si Huang before saying, “Wu Chen, Little Huang Er, let’s depart.”

Madam Sheng Yue was stunned before asking, “Yue Er, won’t it be too dangerous for Little Huang Er to go with you since he is just a kid?”

Mu Ru Yue shook her head and replied with a hidden profound meaning, “Even if I were to face danger, Little Huang Er would not…”
