Chapter 42: Chapter 42: Marrying None but You
Editor: Henyee Translations
Mu Qing, who was still enraged, imdiately opposed when he heard this: “No way, that man is not worthy of you. How could my daughter marry such a person? Only a fool like Mu Ruyue would end up with that man. But comparatively, he is slightly better than the Ghost King, who is so hideous that no one wants to join the Ghost Prince Manor.”
Although Mu Qing was the head of the Mu Family, few people other than the Royal Family mbers had seen the legendary Ghost King. The Royal Family was full of intrigue and deceit, so naturally, no one would dispel those rumors.
As for the maids who used to serve the Ghost King, they would tremble with fear at the re ntion of his na. How could they possibly reveal his true appearance?
“Why?” Mu Yixue pouted and insisted, “I don’t care, I want to marry him. Why should such a handso man be occupied by Mu Ruyue? She doesn’t deserve him at all.”
Mu Qing frowned, feeling helpless towards his daughter.
“Xue’er, that man has no Qi fluctuations. If he isn’t a useless person, then his strength is very low, and he seems a bit ntally unstable. How could I possibly allow you to marry a fool?”
After saying this, Mu Qing paused: “He is a fool, and the Ghost King is also a fool. Could there be so connection between them?”
“Dad, you don’t suspect he is the Ghost King, do you?” Mu Yixue curled her lips disdainfully and said, “That Ghost King is so ugly. How could he possibly be the Ghost King? Besides, he’s not a fool, just naive. Such a handso man could never be Mu Ruyue’s Ghost King husband. Dad, I don’t care if he is useless, I want to marry him. If you don’t agree, I’ll run away from ho.”
The mont she saw him, Mu Yixue decided she would marry no one else but him.
Such an enchanting man could only be hers.
“Alright, alright, alright, Dad agrees. Is that okay?” Mu Qing indulgently ruffled her hair and smiled, “Don’t worry. With just one word from Dad, who would dare not marry you? That man’s Qi fluctuations are too weak; he surely doesn’t co from any noble family. When the ti cos, Dad will find his parents. As long as we give his family a few dozen Gold Coins, I bet they will personally send their son to our Mu Family.”
Mu Qing smiled confidently. Ten Gold Coins were enough to sustain a small family for several years. Who could resist the temptation of money?
However, he had no idea that Ye Wuchen ca from the Royal Family and that one’s strength, if significantly higher, could be hidden.
So, in the end, his self-assured words would lead him to an irrevocable disaster.
“Thank you, Dad,” Mu Yixue excitedly grabbed Mu Qing’s arm and said happily, “Xue’er knew Dad was the best. Now, I’ll go keep Sister Ting’er company. She must be feeling very sad alone.”
“Go ahead.” Mu Qing patted Mu Yixue’s head and smiled tenderly, but after she left, the smile on his lips slowly disappeared, replaced by a somber expression.
“Who is plotting against our Mu Family?”
Thinking about what happened at the martial arts arena, Mu Qing’s eyes flickered: “Could it be Consort Ya? Or so won jealous of Ting’er?”
Although he initially suspected Mu Ruyue, he later realized that Mu Ruyue did not have such strength, so he excluded her from the list.
“In that case, it must be those jealous of Ting’er. This matter needs to be thoroughly investigated; otherwise, it will be difficult for Ting’er to marry the Princely Heir.”
