Chapter 747: Chapter 749: The Background of Madam Sheng Yue (Part 3)
“Brother?” Madam Sheng Yue was taken aback, looking up at Dan Venerate, “Is my brother, all right?”
“He is quite fine, after all, the maid impersonating your mother has been doing so for many years without getting pregnant, and… your brother is now the sole eldest son of the Dou Family; she couldn’t possibly treat him badly. It’s just that for some reason, your brother just isn’t close to her…”
“As the saying goes, blood is thicker than water. Being a son, his feelings towards his mother must be more genuine,” Madam Sheng Yue sneered, “Besides, an impersonation is still an impersonation, no matter how well she treats him, there’s always something less sincere…”
During her speech, she slightly lowered her eyes, a hint of cold light flashing through them.
“I want to make a trip to East Island myself.”
Dan Venerate was silent for a while before saying, “Actually, I agree with what the young girl said, her handling this matter is enough; you don’t need to make the trip. Wait until everything is settled before you go. After all, being enemies with that woman means offending the Heavenly Demon Sect supporting her. The young girl has enough strength to protect herself against the Heavenly Demon Sect, your presence would only encumber her.”
Madam Sheng Yue wanted to say something, but ultimately closed her mouth…
“Yue’er, you’ve just come back. Rest for a few days before leaving,” Madam Sheng Yue turned to look at Mu Ruyue, “Besides, your father and grandpa just went to the Alchemy Tower, at least wait for them to return…”
“Mother, if I delay by even a day, perhaps my cousins and uncles could face danger. Even though that woman treats uncle well now, what if uncle discovers her true identity? She would surely strike him down then. Don’t worry; I’ll return as soon as possible…”
Mu Ruyue firmly grasped Madam Sheng Yue’s hand, her gaze resolute as she spoke.
“Alright,” Madam Sheng Yue sighed softly, “Remember, no matter what happens, you must ensure your own safety! To me, nothing is more important than you. If you encounter danger, come back immediately, and don’t force yourself.”
Mu Ruyue smiled, her eyes sweeping towards Ye Wuchen who had always been standing by her side.
“Mother, with Wuchen here, do you think I could encounter any danger?”
As long as she was present, she believed, absolutely no one in this world could harm her!
“Mother,” Ye Sihuang smiled innocently, “May I go too?”
Mu Ruyue’s eyes flickered, she nodded slightly, “Alright…”
At that moment, she hadn’t noticed that when Ye Sihuang said this, he had slightly lowered his eyes, a hint of chilling light flashing through them…
Heavenly Demon Sect?
His eyes carried a bloodthirsty gleam, and the smile around his lips was just as cruel, but it quickly vanished, returning to that innocent expression…
“Sister, are you leaving so soon?” Xiao Qingqing blinked her eyes, looking at Mu Ruyue with a pitiful expression, “It’s been so many years since I’ve seen my sister…”
“Once I have taken care of this matter, I will come back immediately.” Mu Ruyue looked down at the girl’s woeful face, her lips curving into a smile, and then, she turned to look at Ye Wuchen and Ye Sihuang, “Wuchen, Little Huang’er, let’s go.”
Madam Sheng Yue hesitated, “Yue’er, might it be too dangerous for Little Huang’er? He is still just a child, after all?”
Mu Ruyue shook her head, her smile deep and meaningful, “Even if I encounter danger, Little Huang’er won’t…”
