Chapter 488: Chapter 490 Threat (Five)
“Don’t worry, big brother will marry you very soon, I’m just calling you that in advance.”
Perhaps it was because the matter between Xiao Feng and Yao Yunqing was settled, and Third Young Master Xiao was dead, Mu Ruyue felt an unprecedented sense of relief. In that moment, her thoughts inadvertently turned to Ye Wuchen…
She had no idea where that guy was now.
Watching the direction in which the two disappeared, the Xiao Family Elders’ intestines were nearly green with regret. If the Ancestor Elders hadn’t driven Xiao Yun away back then, perhaps his line wouldn’t have been forced to leave.
Even after making mistakes in the past, as long as they treated Xiao Feng well now, there was still time to make amends.
But…
The elders exchanged glances, all with a look of sadness in their eyes.
But because of their mistakes, not only did the Xiao Family lose two talents for nothing, they also missed the chance to become in-laws with the Yao Family.
It was such a hard-earned opportunity.
Thinking about it, their stomachs twitched in regret…
That night.
Under the heavy darkness of night, just as Mu Ruyue had taken off her clothes to go to bed, a sudden unfamiliar aura arrived, and she abruptly sat up, her cold gaze projecting forth…
Before her eyes, a figure in snowy white seemed to step through the clouds and mist, the woman’s face veiled by a layer of fog, making it impossible to see her clearly.
“Mu Ruyue, long time no see.”
Mu Ruyue’s expression darkened bit by bit, “Zi Feng, so you are truly still alive.”
Even if she couldn’t see her face, Mu Ruyue could still feel that this woman was none other than Nangong Zi Feng…
“Last time, you peeked into my memories. Did you find your son’s whereabouts?”
The woman’s voice was laced with mockery, which made Mu Ruyue’s face grow even colder and more ice-chilled.
All this time, she had not given up searching. She not only had the Alchemy Tower’s people dispersed to look for him, but she also used Elixirs to gather information.
And this, too, was the purpose of her forming a power base.
But she found nothing at all, she still had not found anything… That place was too mysterious, as if unnoticed by anyone.
“What are you trying to say?” Mu Ruyue raised her head, her eyes icy as she spoke.
Zi Feng let out a low chuckle, her voice filled with bitter hate, “How could I possibly let you find him so quickly? He is the only bargaining chip I have to threaten you with, I absolutely cannot let you find out! Mu Ruyue, I have always hated you, hated that you got Brother Zi Huang, hated to the point of wanting to tear that little darling to pieces! Do you know what it’s like to see him every day? Every time I see him, I can just imagine what you two do every night, and it hurts so much, it tears at my heart. Why didn’t you ever think of me before? Do you know how cruel it was for me?”
“In a previous life, I held the Zi Family’s lifeline, which made him unable to lay a hand on me. Later, I used this lifeline to blackmail him into taking me as a concubine, but he refused without any hesitation. I couldn’t truly destroy this lifeline either, otherwise, I’d lose even the capital to threaten. A few days ago, I found Brother Zi Huang, I just begged him to be with me once, just once was enough, to let me bear his child would have been enough, so that things could be fair for me, but he still refused…”
“I could never understand, why would he not even give me one chance? Why do you get to enjoy his exclusive devotion without any guilt? Mu Ruyue, I will never let you be together again! I want you to be with other men in front of him, or else, I will kill that little darling!”
Actually, Zi Feng didn’t know where that boy had gone either, but now she could only use this method to threaten her…
