Ting Er! Tightly holding her hand, he said with deep emotion, When you gave yourself to me a month ago, I swore that I would definitely marry you! However, the engagement between this trash and I was an imperial order by my royal Grandfather. Ill need some time to convince him to withdraw the order, but believe in me, youll become my wife soon.

The scene playing out before Mu Ru Yue eyes hurt her deeply. She glared with blood-shot eyes filled with hatred at Mu Ting Er, and said, Mu Ting Er, youre only an adopted daughter, while Im the genuine young mistress! I hope you clearly know your status!

Pa!

Just when she said that, a slap viciously landed on her face.

Mu Ru Yues body suddenly trembled as she held onto the red mark on the side of her face, then stiffly turned her head. She looked in disbelief at the middle-aged man at her side. Father, how could you

Impudent! Who allowed you to talk to Ting Er in such a manner? The middle-aged man had a cold expression and was acting as though the person before him wasnt his own daughter, but merely a maid that he could abuse.

Father, Im your daughter! said Mu Ru Yue, her voice choked with emotion. With tears in her eyes, she continued, Shes only an adopted girl. Father, why did you

Daughter? The middle-aged man snorted. A daughter like you is my lifetimes disgrace! Even though Ting Er was adopted, her innate talent is outstanding. Shes my pride instead! You really think that you have the right to be paired up with Crown Prince Jing 1? Ill clearly tell you now that I have assisted them in this matter. Why else do you think no one has come here yet?

It was as though lightning had struck in a clear sky. Mu Ru Yue trembled a little, biting on her lips as she looked at her blood relative.

Elder Sister Ting Er, are you alright?

At this moment, Mu Yi Xue, who shared the same parents as Mu Ru Yue, passed by her blood sister as if she did not see her, walked straight to Mu Ting Ers side, whose face was already covered in tears.

Elder sister Ting Er, rest assured. Xue Er and father will protect you. We wont let that person steal your husband. Mu Yi Xue laughed adorably before shifting her gaze to Mu Ru Yue. With disgust in her gaze, she continued, Moreover, in the Mu Family, I only have Mu Ting Er as my elder sister. This trash doesnt deserve to be my elder sister. I really dont understand how mother gave birth to such trash. She isnt worthy to be the Mu familys daughter!

Father, Xue Er

Mu Ting Er looked gratefully at the two. Nobody noticed the sneer on her lips at that moment.

Mu Ru Yue, I swore long ago that I would seize all of your possessions! Blame it on yourself for being the genuine young mistress of the house, while Im just an adopted girl. The main reason why I, a girl that you always looked down upon, is able to climb onto your head today was mainly due to you being trash that cannot cultivate. But it should be impossible for you to suspect the reason you became trash. When you were five, before your innate talent test, I placed poison into your meal. Furthermore, nobody could possibly suspect that the four-year-old me would have been such a schemer.

Mu Ru Yues heart turned cold as she looked at the harmonious family. She suddenly realised that she was just an outsider.

Haha!

She suddenly howled with laughter as she viciously charged towards a tree at the side, still laughing.

Her sudden action shocked the others. Mu Ting Ers expression changed greatly, as she didnt expect that she had forced her step-sister to her death. How boring it would be if she were to die now?!

When she wanted to stop her sister, a middle-aged man raised his arm to block her path.

Since she wants to die, let her be. It will be as if I never had her as a daughter.
