Chapter 207 - Officials Debate, Taking Action to Dispel Rumors
\nA layer of mist covered her pair of large and bright obsidian eyes, which made it more beautiful and moving.
Behind her, Rong Qiyan and another female medical team member Qin Yuyao didn’t dare to treat Zi You and the Commander who was ruthless and decisive in Nanjiang as the same person.
After Zi You spoke, all the officials there thought of the rumors that had spread in the capital’s high society circles and couldn’t help but doubt their credibility.
What was “Wang Yiping, as Zi You’s stepmother, lives a life of suffering in the General’s Manor. If Mu Zi You didn’t force her, Wang Yiping’s nanny wouldn’t have wanted to harm Mu Zi You and delivered a letter to Shangguan Lingluo. As a result, Old General Mu clearly knew that it wasn’t his daughter-in-law’s fault, but still listened to Mu Zi You’s instigation and coldly broke Wang Yiping’s legs”?
The rumors also said, “Mu Zi You is disobedient and unfilial. She pretended to be a ghost so she could hit her father. She’s simply vicious!”
If the rumors were really true, then would Mu Zi You be so anxious to return home to see her “family?” And her expression didn’t seem like she was pretending. She looked homesick and couldn’t wait to go back to see her family after being away for so long.
In reality, Zi You was indeed missing her family, but she wasn’t missing Wang Yiping and Mu YingRui. She was missing Nee Liu and her two cousins.
Although the wives of Great Yan’s soldiers adhered to feminine virtues and rarely appear in public to welcome their husbands back, Nee Liu had always taken her two sons to the hillside above the city gate to wait for her loved ones’ return.
But today, Zi You had specifically looked at the hillside and didn’t see them.
Even if her aunt and uncle were quarreling, Zi You had not come back for more than two years now. Her aunt should have come to welcome her, unless Nee Liu was ill or something serious had happened.
Her grandfather and uncle had left the fu for nearly half a year. News had spread that they had perished in the swamps. Wang Yiping was also from the Empress’ camp. Zi You wouldn’t believe that this undead cockroach could honestly not cause any trouble even if Zi You was beaten to death.
So, Zi You had her heart set on returning home. She had to go back and take a look at what the General’s Manor was like now. She couldn’t let Wang Yiping and that scum Mu YingRui’s schemes succeed.
She didn’t even hate Shangguan Lingluo and Darong Ka as much as she hated Wang Yiping and Mu YingRui. After all, she had never trusted Shangguan Lingluo and Darong Ka and treated them like loved ones.
But Wang Yiping, Mu YingRui, Zhao HongXiang, Yu Lanxuan, and Nee Chen were different. Zi You had once treated them sincerely and treated them as her closest relatives. So, when they betrayed and deceived her, her pain and hatred were bone deep……
She hated them to the point…… where it would be too cheap for them if they died too easily.
