If that’s the case, she would rather live her life as a man.
At the very least, the world is vast, allowing her to soar freely.
"You child." Mu Qingge’s heartfelt words were taken by Mu Lianrong as her maturity.
It seems that the more sensible Mu Qingge was, the more heartache Mu Lianrong felt in her heart.
She had no husband, nor children. To Mu Lianrong, Mu Qingge was like her own child. What parents in the world wouldn’t wish for their children to do well?
But from the mont Mu Qingge was born, she was innocently swept into the family’s rise and fall, and inexplicably burdened with responsibilities that shouldn’t have belonged to her. For fifteen years, she silently endured and protected this secret.
Thinking of this, Mu Lianrong’s heart felt a tight pang.
"Once our Mu Family is stable, your grandfather and I will find a way to restore your identity as a daughter." Mu Lianrong earnestly promised.
To this, Mu Qingge truly did not care at all.
Seeing her aunt’s serious expression, she couldn’t refute it. Smiling, she said, "By the way, Aunt. Bai Xiyue seems to have an ambiguous relationship with Prince Rui, so be cautious at ho."
"Xiyue and Prince Rui?" Mu Lianrong seed a bit incredulous.
Mu Qingge nodded and said, "Do you know why the Princess knows I’m going to Yi City?"
This question was also a curiosity for Mu Lianrong. But before, there was too much happening, and she hadn’t had ti to think carefully or ask.
Now that Mu Qingge ntioned it voluntarily, a sudden flash of insight crossed Mu Lianrong’s mind, and she blurted out, "Is it related to Xiyue?"
Mu Qingge nodded again.
Yet this ti, Mu Lianrong frowned and shook her head, "Impossible. I never told Xiyue about you going to Yi City. How did she know?"
This also puzzled Mu Qingge. Originally, she planned to investigate thoroughly after returning from Yi City. Now having to return to Yi City again, she could only entrust this matter to Mu Lianrong.
Thus, she said, "Why she knows, I don’t know either. But judging from the Princess’s words, it seems that she overheard our conversation and went to Prince Rui Mansion to tell Prince Rui. And coincidentally, the Princess was also at Prince Rui Mansion, happened to overhear, and ca out to find ."
"Xiyue she..." Mu Lianrong’s brows furrowed tightly; Mu Qingge’s words were hard for her to accept.
Bai Xiyue was the child she watched grow up, and now, she was walking together with Prince Rui behind the Mu Mansion’s back, exposing Mu Qingge’s whereabouts.
"Why would she?" Mu Lianrong slowly shook her head.
Mu Qingge looked at her with clear eyes, eyes that seed to see through to the heart. "Bai Xiyue is not simple; hasn’t Aunt realized yet?"
Mu Lianrong was stunned, speechless.
Ever since the incident of Bai Xiyue slandering Mu Qingge, she felt the child seed to have changed.
"Moreover, I also know she has been hiding her capabilities. Aunt, do you know what realm she’s actually in now?" Mu Qingge pursued the topic persistently.
Mu Lianrong responded without thinking, "Isn’t she in the Red Realm High Rank, about to enter Orange Realm?"
"She’s actually solidly in the Yellow Realm Middle Rank." Mu Qingge’s smile carried a hint of sarcasm.
Mu Lianrong’s eyes shrank suddenly, filled with shock.
"Why would she hide it? What is this child thinking?" Mu Lianrong suddenly realized she couldn’t understand Bai Xiyue anymore.
Mu Qingge did not answer her question, but said, "I think Grandpa seems to have noticed too, but just doesn’t want to sever this kindness. I only fear for you, Aunt. She was practically raised by you, and your feelings for her are no less than mine. Yet, our Mu Family’s position is sensitive; if any secrets fall into others’ ears, it could bring catastrophic disaster. So, I ask Aunt to be cautious, to be on guard!"
