Tam Xue glanced at Mu Yunyun carelessly, then looked at Yao Lu, her voice calm and unhurried, "Go ahead."
Yao Lu looked at Miss Mu Yunyun with some worry, "But Miss she..."
"Don't worry about it, let her hear it too. She's grown up, and she must bear what she needs to bear."
Mu Yunyun's dazed gaze finally turned to Yao Lu.
Yao Lu nodded and said, "Madam, I've confirmed it. That child is the child of Ninth Master and Jiang Nuan. Look at these photos."
Yao Lu handed the photos to Tam Xue.
After reading them, Tam Xue sneered and nodded, her gaze profound, "As I suspected."
"Madam, Jiang Nuan gave Ninth Master a son. I'm afraid the Old Master already knows about this," Yao Lu knew that the Old Master had always doted on Mu Jiu Chen.
He wouldn't give even a bit of love to the second young master and the young lady.
The current situation had become uncontrollable.
"Hmph!" Tam Xue scoffed, "He knew long ago. He wants to leave this big house to that little bastard."
Mu Yunyun, only now understanding, realized that Mu Jiu Chen had a child, and the child was with Jiang Nuan, who had been the subject of much discussion online.
Mu Yunyun looked at her mother, who had schemed endlessly only to end up with nothing, with a hint of amusement.
Would her own life also be a stepping stone for her mother's ascent?
"Mom, what can you do with this information? Dad is still going to divorce you."
Ever since that day, her father had never returned.
"Heh heh..." Tam Xue smiled indifferently, "Yunyun, hurting and being hurt have always been opposites. If your father wants to destroy me, will I let him live in peace?"
"Madam, what should we do next?" Yao Lu also didn't know what to do next.
After decades of planning, it couldn't compare to Mu Yun Xiao's single word of divorce.
Tam Xue smiled and said slowly, "Don't rush about Mu Jiu Chen. Give Mu Yun Xiao's infidelity to the paparazzi."
"Mom." Mu Yunyun looked at her in surprise. Did she want to damage her reputation like this?
Mu Yun Xiao had already left. He would no longer fear such rumors.
Tam Xue looked at her seriously, "Yunyun, you should grow up too. Some things should be told to you. Your father has never been a good father. He has the persona of a good husband, but behind it, he's a womanizer."
Mu Yunyun was stunned for a moment, looking at her beautiful and elegant mother, her eyes revealing an incomprehensible strangeness.
She felt as if she didn't recognize this mother.
These past few days, hiding in her room, she felt that her life was filled with only unconcealable fear and helplessness.
She didn't know who she was or why she was here.
She wanted to know all of this, and it caused her great pain.
But she also knew her mother wouldn't tell her the truth.
"Your father is serious this time. He never loved Mu Jiu Chen's mother, but now he's fallen for an unremarkable young girl. Yunyun, I really don't know where I lost." Tam Xue's sharp gaze turned into fierce jealousy.
Hadn't she done well all these years?
Mu Yunyun smiled and said bluntly, "Mom, don't you think you're a failure? You've been wearing qipaos for decades just to maintain your image, all because Dad liked it?"
"Why can't you be yourself? You don't have this elegant personality. Having to pretend to be elegant every day actually looks very out of place."
"Men like novelty. They prefer to live with real women."
"No matter what Dad requires, you must live as yourself."
"Also, your calculating nature is never hidden. You've never treated eldest brother as family, but as an enemy blocking your path."
"Since you yourself have ulterior motives, how can you demand that others be devoted to you wholeheartedly?" Da Feng Novel Network
Mu Yunyun could see the state of their relationship, but her mother was so rigid and calculating.
Whether she was in a sorry state or triumphant, she was always so composed, rarely showing superfluous emotions.
But she also knew that the wealthy families were heartless.
Their own family was relatively peaceful. In the collateral branches, Uncle Two and Uncle Three's families were all fighting over property every day, calculating against each other, making life unbearable.
"Shut up, what do you know?" Tam Xue looked at her angrily. Every word she said pierced her heart.
She was rigid, but she didn't know that to maintain such elegance, she practiced every day. To maintain her noble appearance, she packaged herself every day.
She herself felt very tired, but what could she do?
Mu Yun Xiao liked her this way.
She remembered the first time Mu Yun Xiao saw her, he smiled gently and said, "Xiao Xue, you look truly beautiful in a qipao. You are the most suitable woman to wear a qipao I have ever seen."
Women's hearts are like this; they fall in love with the initial appearance of someone, the gentle and considerate Mu Yun Xiao behind the scenes.
In front of others, he was also a solemn and meticulous man, which she liked very much. Da Feng Novel
Because of his words, she persisted for over twenty years.
However, in the end, all her persistence and forbearance were met with betrayal.
How could she accept this?
She would never accept it, even in death.
She roared indignantly, "Mu Yun Xiao is hypocritical, immoral, debauched, and has betrayed me. Do you know how much pain I'm in? How can you casually criticize your mother like this?" Tam Xue's suppressed anger was about to erupt, her voice hoarse and powerful, showcasing her fury.
Mu Yunyun showed no emotion upon hearing this.
"Even if he did all those things, what does it matter? Can it cover up your greed and ambition?"
"Back then, the Mu family formed a marriage alliance with Eldest Brother's mother. It's how the Mu family gained its current status. After you married in, you wanted to seize everything Eldest Brother possessed. Are you, so harsh and malicious, worthy of respect?"
Tam Xue suddenly stood up and walked a few steps towards Mu Yunyun, slapping her hard across the face. Her expression was one of great pain.
Her diamond-studded nails were beautiful and sharp, leaving several bloody marks on Mu Yunyun's face.
She didn't cry out in pain but looked at Tam Xue coldly and said word by word, "In my opinion, you two as a couple are equally shameless and despicable. Who am I the daughter of?"
"Why have you always been afraid to tell me? Is keeping me in the dark considered good for me? Your saying that the truth is more frightening than lies has sent me to hell."
"Or do you think I'm easily fooled, that if you give me a casual excuse, I'll happily call you Mom?"
"We each pursue our own ambitions, pretending to be in harmony while being at odds. Who caused all this? Isn't it because of you?" After speaking, Mu Yunyun ran upstairs.
"Madam, are you alright?" Yao Lu looked at her worriedly.
Tam Xue shook her head slightly, "I'm fine. Go and do what I told you to do."
Yao Lu nodded, turned, and left.
