Suddenly, the strange scene unfolded before Mu Xiong and Mu Lianrong’s eyes—
Mu Qingge’s originally distinct facial features beca softer. Her stunning beauty appeared even more exquisite, with no decrease in vigor between her brows, yet she exuded a bit more seductive charm. The Adam’s apple that was exposed gradually disappeared, leaving a smooth expanse where it once was. Her tall and slender body beca more curvaceous and graceful, a perfect silhouette from every angle.
"This... this... this..." Mu Xiong was dumbfounded.
Mu Lianrong was also staring blankly at Mu Qingge, who had transford into a different person right before their eyes.
Swoosh!
Mu Xiong abruptly stood up, pointing at Mu Qingge, speechless for a long while. Could anyone tell him how his fine grandson had turned into a granddaughter?
Seeing the shock on her grandfather and aunt’s faces, Mu Qingge shrugged and sighed, "As you see, I am a woman. Can a woman marry and have children?"
Mu Xiong’s legs went weak, and he collapsed back into his chair. The shock was too great; he needed to digest it.
It wasn’t that he valued boys over girls; it was simply too hard to accept that the grandson he had raised for fifteen years was actually a girl. Those fifteen years, he had raised his granddaughter as if she were a grandson!
Mu Lianrong, equally unable to accept it, looked at Mu Qingge with an indescribable expression.
She never imagined that the brat she scolded as a ’slly boy’ every day was actually a girl, while she had been eagerly hoping that he would marry and have children, to propagate the Mu Family line.
A feeling of being played arose within her, causing her to blurt out, "Brat, what on earth is going on?"
Mu Qingge pouted; she was innocent, wasn’t she?
Then and there, she repeated to the two mbers of the Mu Family the explanation once given to her by the real Mu Qingge.
Perhaps, her mysterious mother, in order to consolidate the Mu Family’s position, had no choice but to disguise her as a man. Or maybe, they originally planned to eventually have a son, use an excuse, and change her identity, allowing her to return to being a girl.
However, the plan couldn’t keep up with changes. The death in battle of Young General of Mu Mansion, Mu Qingge’s father Mu Liancheng, prevented the subsequent plan from being executed.
After the mother went to find the father’s corpse, she disappeared, and her life or death remains unknown.
This left her to live as the sole heir of Mu Mansion, under the identity of the young lord.
Suddenly, Mu Qingge felt a bit fortunate. Fortunate that the previous Mu Qingge hadn’t foolishly run to confess her true self to the admired Qin Jinhao; otherwise, who knows how much trouble that would have brought her.
After hearing Mu Qingge’s words, Mu Xiong was unable to speak for a long ti, his eyes full of the vicissitudes of age glistening with tears.
Mu Lianrong also fell silent.
No matter whether such a decision was right or wrong, it was all for the Mu Family, and the one who suffered was none other than Mu Qingge, a re fifteen-year-old child.
After a long while, Mu Xiong and Mu Lianrong both accepted the fact that Mu Qingge was female.
They watched as Mu Qingge put on her purple earrings again, transforming from an exceptional young girl to a charming young man, feeling amazed in their hearts.
Mu Xiong sighed and said, "I still don’t know what my daughter-in-law’s origins are, to possess such a secret treasure."
"Looking at the sister-in-law’s deanor and appearance, she wasn’t raised by an ordinary family; since she didn’t want to say, we shouldn’t ask much," Mu Lianrong also nodded in agreent.
Suddenly, Mu Xiong’s gaze sharpened, and he sternly said to Mu Qingge, "Ge’er, your identity must be kept secret, and must not be casually revealed."
If it were known by that person in the Imperial Palace, the entire Mu family could be wiped out under the charge of deceiving the Emperor.
He did not covet power, but without it, it would an the end of the Mu Family. Those in the Imperial Palace had delayed taking action against their family precisely because they were wary of the power he held in his hands.
