Princess Qingluo had just returned from the palace, and of course, she knew nothing. But what about Mu Yi?

When he saw Mu Qingya in such a mess, his heart skipped a beat, and he hurried toward her, with his gaze full of concern.

“Qingya, didn't you go to look for Little Nine? How did you end up like this?”

Qingluo stiffened.

‘Little Nine?

‘Why is it always her!'

She took a deep breath. Her face somewhat darkened as she turned to Mu Yi and asked, “Did Qingya go to meet Little Nine?”

This time, she was shouting fiercely, not pretending as she did before.

She was furious. Her body trembled, and her eyes were filled with anger.

“Qingluo…” Mu Yi was shocked. He took a deep breath and said, “She just went to look for Little Nine, but that doesn't mean Little Nine did it, so…”

Qingluo turned to Mu Qingya and asked in a deep voice, “Tell me, who hurt you like this? Is it Little Nine?”

Mu Qingya lowered her head.

Seeing her reaction, Qingluo became even angrier. “Qingya, are you like your father, still protecting Little Nine now? I don't care what she has done before, but I can't let her go this time. How can I, as a mother, let others bully my daughter? Am I worthy of being a mother?”

Qingluo's voice was filled with anger, and her eyes were filled with monstrous rage.

Mu Yi opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but looking at Qingluo's expression, he knew that any explanations would be useless now.

The last time they fought because of some misunderstanding.

However, this time, Qingya looked for Little Nine with good intentions, and Little Nine should not have done such a thing.

“Qingluo…” Mu Yi smiled bitterly. “If it was really Little Nine's doing, I'll settle this matter. I'll ask Little Nine to come and apologize.”

Qingluo was the princess. She had endured too much pain for him. So this time, he could not continue to let her suffer.

Otherwise, it would all be a disaster for the Mu family.

However, one was an imperial princess, and the other was his daughter…

It was too difficult for him to choose.

Mu Yi closed his eyes, trembling.

After a few seconds, seeing Qingluo did not speak, he opened his eyes and turned to Qingya.

“Qingya, you do not need to worry. I will settle this matter for you. I know that you went there for me. Little Nine… After all, she has not lived with us since childhood, and there are many things she still did not understand.”

Mu Qingya nodded with a bitter smile. “Father, I understand. That's why I will give her some time. Maybe because she is used to being alone outside and has suffered many grievances so that she may hold a grudge, I can grow up by Father's side, but she couldn't. I understand, Father. Don't worry because I will not hold a grudge against my sister.”

Mu Yi's heart ached a little.

‘If only Little Nine can be as understanding as Qingya…'

But…

Thinking about Little Nine's temper, he had a bit of a headache again.

He was afraid that it would be a little difficult to get her to apologize. However, if he didn't do that, Qingluo might pursue this matter and complain to the emperor. There was no way he could protect Little Nine because the emperor loved Qingluo and would not let her suffer even a single bit.

After all, it was not Qingluo's fault.

She knew that Mu Yi had always felt guilty about Little Nine.

But…

It was difficult for her to accept someone else's daughter and love another's daughter like her own.
