The door was pushed open and Ah Zhou entered with the South Duchess.
The South Duchess had already become a cripple. Back then, she had severed Concubine Yu's tendons and Xuan Ying had ordered his men to cripple her limbs. Ah Zhou had thrown her in and she lay on the carpet pathetically.
She glared at Xuan Ying hatefully. "You bastard, I should have killed you back then. You caused my Mu 'er's death. You'll die a horrible death!"
Xuan Ying turned around and stuck one hand into his pocket. He looked down at the South Duchess, who was kneeling on the ground, and the corners of his lips kicked up. "I don't know if I'll die a horrible death, but I do know that you'll die a horrible death."
"You!"
Xuan Ying knelt down, his voice low and cold. "Were you the one who drugged me three years ago?"
The South Duchess froze. "You remember now?"
Xuan Ying didn't say a word.
The South Duchess burst out laughing. "That's right, I was the one who drugged you!
"The South Duke found you and wanted to bring you back. Although I knew that he only wanted to use you as a tool to kill, I wasn't happy about it. I didn't want to see a bastard like you, so I asked someone to drug you.
"I drugged you with the strongest aphrodisiac and tied you to the bed. I wanted to see you being tortured by lust until you bled to death. It would be an interesting way to die.
"But how could I have known that you would defeat my men after being drugged? You even escaped. I heard that you raped Feng Lingxue that night.
"Xuan Ying, we all know that Feng Lingxue's first man was you and that Mu Mu is your biological daughter, but we didn't tell you about it. You must have suffered for the past three years. You thought that Feng Lingxue had betrayed you, you thought that she was dirty, she even humiliated and tortured her. You hit her and even gave her away. Hahaha, you fool, that man was you. She had never betrayed you, she had always loved you, but you pushed her away with your own hands and lost her."
"Do you dare to take off that mask? If Feng Lingxue sees you in such an ugly state, she'll definitely despise you. If Feng Lingxue finds out that you raped her back then, she'll definitely hate you. You're the one who caused so much suffering in her and Mu Mu's lives. They're all your sacrifices!"
"You deserve it, Xuan Ying, this is your retribution. I curse you to never receive Feng Lingxue's love!"
Hearing these words, Xuan Ying knitted his brows and clenched his fists.
The South Duchess had touched a sore spot in his heart.
It had poked at the most unbearable part of his heart.
What was hidden under the mask was not only an ugly face, but also the dark, selfish, and twisted past of his years.
That's right, he was the one who had harmed her.
It was all because of him.
She was born unlucky. He hadn't been able to protect her, and she and Mu Mu had suffered so much.
He was not good enough for her.
Xuan Ying stood up slowly. "Drag her away."
"Yes, Master." Ah Zhou dragged the South Duchess away.
The room was silent. Xuan Ying stood alone in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. Just the thought of Lingling and Mu Mu being his filled his heart.
But he stood there alone in the darkness, allowing it to engulf him.
…
Early morning.
Xia Ling sent Mu Mu to the kindergarten. At this moment, there was a car honking.
Xia Ling lifted her eyes to see a luxurious limousine stopping in front of her. The back door opened and Xuan Ying stepped out.
"Handsome Uncle." Mu Mu's eyes lit up when she saw Xuan Ying, calling him sweetly.
Xuan Ying walked over, stroking Mu Mu's head. "Mu Mu, let Uncle give you a hug, okay?"
"Sure."
Xuan Ying bent down and pulled Mu Mu into his arms.
At this moment, the other children came over as well, exclaiming enviously, "Wow, Mu Mu, is this your Daddy? Your Daddy is so handsome and tall."
Mu Mu quickly hugged Xuan Ying's neck. "That's right, this is my Daddy."
With that, Mu Mu looked at Xuan Ying. She blinked in embarrassment, afraid that Xuan Ying would be unhappy.
Mu Mu was strong, brave, optimistic and more sensitive than other children her age. She wasn't like the other girls who grew up in a healthy and normal environment. She was a carefree little princess.
Xuan Ying's heart ached. Every breath he took was painful. His Mu Mu had suffered a lot.
He kissed Mu Mu's cheek and said in a hoarse voice, "Daddy will always be by your side in the future."
Xia Ling looked at this scene and felt strange. She felt that Xuan Ying was acting strange today.
"Mu Mu, it's time to go to school," Xia Ling said.
Xuan Ying put Mu Mu down and Mu Mu entered the kindergarten with the other children. Before she left, she waved happily.
Mu Mu was about to go to school. Xia Ling turned around, wanting to go back to school.
"Lingling." Xuan Ying called her.
Xia Ling stopped in her tracks, turning back to look at him. "Silver Mask King, what's the matter?"
Xuan Ying looked at her beautiful face and pursed his thin lips. "Do you want to know … who Mu Mu's father is?"
Xia Ling was reminded of that painful night three years ago. The man on top of her was like a beast, pushing her into hell.
Her face paled. "I don't want to know. What's done is done. Mu Mu is my daughter. Who her father is has nothing to do with me. I just want to lead a peaceful life with Mu Mu now."
Xuan Ying's Adam's apple bobbed. How could he say it? How could he tell her?
"Silver Mask King, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first." Xia Ling turned around to leave.
…
Xuan Ying returned to the luxurious car. Ah Zhou asked in a low voice, "Master, what should we do with Shi Xiaoxiao and Auntie Su?"
Xuan Ying looked out of the window, his handsome face cold. "Shi Xiaoxiao is Shi Shi's daughter. The Palace has been in a mess recently and the West Duke has become the Emperor. Everyone has let down their guard against Shi Shi. There's news that Shi Shi has already gathered his troops and taken over the most important defense line in Country A. Cut off Shi Xiaoxiao's hair and give it to Shi Shi as a warning."
"Yes." Ah Zhou nodded.
At this moment, there was a scream from outside. "Fire! Fire! "
Xuan Ying lifted his eyes to see thick smoke billowing from the kindergarten. There was already a fire.
There were all children inside, including Mu Mu.
Xuan Ying's heart sank, he had an ominous feeling. He opened the car door and quickly got out.
Just as he entered the kindergarten, the kindergarten teacher rushed over. "Bad news, bad news! There was a fire just now and we evacuated the children, but one child is missing. Mu Mu is missing!"
What?
Mu Mu was missing?
Mu Mu was missing?
Xuan Ying's eyes narrowed. His ominous feeling had come true. Someone was coming for him.
At this moment, a melodious ringtone sounded. He had an incoming phone call.
Taking out his phone, he saw that it was Shi Shi.
