“Young Master Li, I look at you as a junior and won’t lower myself to your level, but please show some respect. My daughter, Mu Ting’er, is of course of decent origin. If Ting’er’s father hadn’t saved my mother back then, Mother wouldn’t have escaped her misfortune either. Besides, Ting’er is clever and kind hearted. Who wouldn’t praise her in Feng City? And I naturally have my reasons for disliking Mu Ruyue—she is vicious by nature. How can she be worthy of my favor when she even bullies a woman as kind as Ting’er?”

Mu Qing spoke with such self-righteousness, principled and upright, portraying Mu Ruyue as a truly heinous evil woman while Mu Ting’er was the little white flower who had long been oppressed.

In order to match Mu Qing’s account, Mu Ting’er falsely wiped a few tears, her fragile appearance provoking pity.

Bam!

Ye Tianfeng slapped the table and stood up, blue veins rippling on his temples. He wished he could descend and teach Mu Ruyue and Li Lu a lesson for making Mu Ting’er cry, but Tian Yuan quelled him with a look.

“Feng’er, take it easy. Don’t worry, nothing will happen. You’re the judge after all, so don’t take act rashly.”

His reminder calmed Ye Tianfeng down. He looked at Mu Ting’er worriedly, while disgust and anger flashed in his eyes as they swept over Mu Ruyue.

Even if this woman was no longer a waste, she still fell short of Mu Ting’er.

Right this minute, no one noticed Mu Ruyue quietly taking out an emerald green pill. She used her vital energy to melt and transform the pill into a transparent water vapor. After exerting a covert force, she sent the vapor into Mu Ting’er’s mouth and nose.

As Mu Qing’s speech came to an end, the unsuspecting crowd was uniformly convinced and accused Mu Ruyue of having a vicious heart. A delicate woman like Mu Ting’er was meant to be protected. How could she bully Mu Ting’er?

People like her weren’t worthy of being human at all, and even a brute was kinder than her.

While the crowd was scolding Mu Ruyue nastily, Mu Ting’er’s originally tear-stained beautiful face suddenly became distorted, and she stared hatefully at Mu Ruyue.

“Mu Ruyue, why don’t you just die? How am I inferior to you? Just because you’re the genuine Young Miss of the Mu Family, you were betrothed to His Royal Highness. His Royal Highness is mine and no one can take him away from me. Got it? Why should a woman share her husband with other women? He can only be my man! Haha, go to hell, Mu Ruyue. A waste like you is unworthy of living in this world! Only I, and I alone, am the best of the best!”

“And you, Zhang Yaxin—I actually wanted to kill you when we were fighting earlier. Who asked your younger sister to spy longingly on His Royal Highness too? Do you have any idea how much it hurt to have to smile when I obviously wanted to kill you? Your sister is so stupid and you’re no better. You’re weak and so ugly. Who’s going to marry an ugly girl like you in the future? But I’m the kindest, so how could I really kill you? See, I’m so harmless, hahaha!”

Mu Ting’er laughed like crazy as her vicious gaze swept over everyone present.

Everyone was frozen. Mu Ting’er, who had always been soft and kind, was now spouting vicious words. This was simply unexpected. Could it be that this was her true nature?

“This is the weak, often-bullied woman that Lord Mu is talking about, tsk-tsk.” Ji Ruya smiled and shook her head. “She’s sure clever and kind hearted—kind enough to want the lives of some innocent people. I doubt the authenticity of Lord Mu’s claims. But really, as the saying goes, ‘like father, like daughter’. She really might be an illegitimate daughter born to some prostitute in a brothel.”
