A man jumped out from behind Chu Hailan. His eyes were wide open as he shouted. His expression was exaggerated and excited. Once he shouted, he attracted a large group of people to watch.
Lu Tang's smile froze for a moment.
Four years ago, she had an affair with someone in a brothel and was rejected by her fiancé. Was she talking about her? No, was he talking about Mu Haitang?
She sat up straight.
At this moment, there were more people around her. Everyone looked at her and whispered to each other.
"Mu Haitang is really the daughter of the Mu family. I heard that she has been missing for four years. I thought she was gone.”
"Who is Mu Haitang?"
A passerby who didn't know asked in a low voice, and the insider immediately spoke up.
"Brother, I can tell that you're from another place. You don't even know who An Yan of the Mu family is. She's the daughter of our Dazhou's only king with a different surname, Mu Aotian. She's also the noblest daughter of our Dazhou. Her fiancé is our current crown prince, but unfortunately, that was four years ago.
Four years ago, Haitang of the Mu family was discovered to be having an affair with someone in a brothel. Her reputation fell to rock bottom, and her engagement was broken off by the Crown Prince. After that, she disappeared. She did not expect to return four years later. She did not know if the Mu family could still accept this indecent daughter.”
"Ah…then she still has the face to come back. The Mu family definitely doesn't want her.”
"If we let her in, where will the Mu family put their face? The Mu family was a family of generals. Both of their sons held important positions, and Lord Mu was highly regarded by the royal family. His daughter was the only stain on their family's reputation. If they admitted this stain, they would be laughed at.”
"I heard that the eldest son of the Mu family is discussing the marriage. If Mu Haitang returns at this time, won't she cause trouble for the Mu family?”
"That's right."
Lu Tang heard all the whispers.
Lu Tang's expression turned colder and colder. She had thought of countless scenarios when she returned to the capital of Great Zhou, but she had never expected such a situation. Having an affair with someone else and having her fiancé break off the engagement? Was he talking about Mu Haitang? How was it possible for that woman who looked like an orchid in the empty valley?
The woman's sorrowful eyes flashed across her mind. She held her last breath and knelt in front of her, telling her,'From now on, she is the daughter of the Great Zhou noble, Prince Runan.'
However, now that she had brought Yuan Bao back to Great Zhou, she was faced with criticism and humiliation.
How could this be?
What had Mu Haitang experienced?
Was such a determined death related to these things?
She was a proud daughter of the heavens, with a noble status and marriage that everyone in the world envied. How could she have an affair with someone in a land of fireworks? She would never believe that there was no conspiracy behind this.
She had experienced falling from heaven to hell. Her friends had left her, her family had abandoned her, and she had been forced to leave her hometown alone. She had given birth to a child, and she had been hunted down by others. She had died in a snowy valley, and a Corpse Dissolving Pill had left her with no bones.
No wonder her gaze was so painful, so hateful, so nostalgic, and so determined…
The more she thought about it, the more painful it was. Lu Tang felt that her heart was in so much pain that she could not breathe. Her face even turned pale. She bent over and panted heavily before she could ease up a little.
It was clearly Mu Haitang's experience, but she seemed to empathize with it. Her emotions were inexplicable.
With a wipe, her face was filled with tears…
Lu Tang was stunned for a moment. This was the second time she had shed tears after Yuan Bao. When she was young, she had sworn that she would never shed tears easily because it was a sign of incompetence. But now, she was feeling pain, hatred, and grievance for a woman called Mu Haitang...
"Mother, what's wrong?"
Yuan Bao saw Lu Tang's strange expression and hurriedly said.
The little fellow's face was pale, and his eyes were filled with worry for her.
Lu Tang's heart ached again. She reached out to touch Yuan Bao's face and said softly," Mother is fine."”
Looking at Yuan Bao's panicking but forbearing expression, Lu Tang felt as if her heart was being pricked by needles. Yuan Bao had also heard those words. What would this little fellow think of her?
"Yuan Bao, your mother is not such a person.”
Lu Tang said in a low voice.
Yuan Bao looked at Lu Tang and held her hand." Mother, I know that you are the most beautiful person in the world.”
As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes turned as cold as ice. He glared at the man and Chu Hailan, who were shouting exaggeratedly." They're talking nonsense and framing Mother. Yuan Bao doesn't believe them."”
Hearing Yuan Bao's words, Lu Tang felt comforted. She patted his head and said," Yuan Bao, if the Mu family doesn't accept you, I'll take you to wander the world, okay?"”
Chu Hailan's words and the whispers around her rang in her ears. She did not know what the Mu family's attitude was, but if Mu Haitang really had such a reputation, then the Mu family would have given up on this daughter.
Lu Tang no longer had any hope.
"Alright, wherever mother is, Yuan Bao will be there.”
Yuan Bao's determined voice sounded in his ears.
Lu Tang nodded.
Chu Hailan heard Yuan Bao calling Lu Tang 'mother'. Her eyes lit up and she glanced at the man beside her. The man immediately understood and shouted," What?" This kid called you mother, so this is your son?
Huh? Mu Haitang, not only did you have an affair with someone else, you even gave birth to a bastard?”
Everyone looked at Yuan Bao as soon as he spoke.
Yuan Bao's face turned pale. He didn't cry. Instead, he glared at the man beside Chu Hailan with his glass-like eyes and clenched his fists tightly.
"What did you say?"
Lu Tang stood up. The scorching sun shone on her face. Her face was as cold as ice, and her sharp edge was as sharp as that of the man.
Under Lu Tang's threatening gaze, the man's heart trembled and he subconsciously took a step back. When he finally reacted, he immediately became a little angry and scolded," What's wrong? You've done something shameful and you still don't want others to say it? Even if I say it a hundred times, it will be the same, bastard.”
Chu Hailan was standing at the side, her lips curled up slightly. Seeing Lu Tang being humiliated like this, her mood was unprecedentedly good. She did not say anything to stop him, and even gave him an encouraging look. The man received Chu Hailan's signal, and his morale soared. He then laughed loudly," Eldest Miss Mu, I'm afraid even you don't know whose child this child is. If he isn't a bastard, then what is he?" Right? Hahaha…"
"A pair of jade-like arms that can be used as pillows by thousands of people, and a bit of red lips that can be tasted by thousands of people. This Young Master's residence is still lacking a concubine, is Eldest Miss Mu interested? Hahaha…"
He laughed loudly and indulgently. His eyes were filled with lewdness as they landed on Lu Tang. The men behind him also laughed with trembling shoulders and winked at him.
"Are you done laughing?"
Amidst the laughter, Lu Tang's voice was cold.
"Enough laughing, enough laughing, hahaha.”
The man laughed loudly, but in the next moment, Lu Tang suddenly said," You've laughed enough. Go to hell."”
