The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl

Chapter 1350: Chapter 1344

Murong Ziyue’s voice was still echoing.

Pa pa pa—

There came a burst of applause; Xin Lin clapped until her hands hurt.

Ziyue’s words just now were simply too good.

This Fengdong that favors sons over daughters, this Fengdong full of bullying everywhere, isn’t worth staying in at all.

Mu Chen’s heart was also shaken; he hadn’t expected Murong Ziyue to be bold enough to say such things in front of the Old Family Master, although every single word she said was the truth.

No one knew better than Mu Chen what Murong Ziyue had gone through all these years.

"Outrageous, you dead girl, you go outside once and you dare talk back to the Family Head! Are you saying the Family Head has treated you harshly?"

Second Madam Mu jumped out the moment she heard that, pointing at Murong Ziyue and cursing.

"Shut up."

Second Madam Mu had just cursed a few words when the Old Family Master roared like thunder, scolding her into a daze.

"Old Family Master, Murong Ziyue was just now cursing Fengdong, and you still—?"

Second Madam Mu was still a bit unconvinced.

"She’s not wrong. Fengdong people distinguish clearly between gratitude and grudges; we must avenge a grudge, and we must repay a favor. If Ziyue is right, then that little girl saved her twice, and Fengdong owes her two lives."

The Old Family Master’s tone was still stern, but the anger in his words had already faded.

The wisp of Ghost Energy in front of Murong Ziyue disappeared.

Murong Ziyue let out a sigh of relief.

"Take Mu Feng away. This brat’s skills are half-baked; he’s not allowed to leave the East Court for half a year. And you, his mother, keep a close eye on him. If there’s any more mishap, however he got that whole set of Ghost Control Technique, I’ll make sure he loses it the same way."

The Old Family Master let out a cold snort.

Second Madam Mu was startled; she didn’t dare say another word, hurriedly ordering people to drag her son away in a puff of dust.

"Family Head, then we’ll take our leave as well."

Mu Chen also breathed a sigh of relief.

He hadn’t expected the Family Head to be especially magnanimous this time. Taking advantage of this chance, he’d better quickly whisk Murong Ziyue and Xin Lin away, lest more trouble arise.

"Wait."

But before the Family Head could speak again, Murong Ziyue suddenly dropped to her knees, facing the courtyard, and knocked her head firmly three times on the ground.

"Family Head, please spare my mother. My father may have been gone for many years, but my mother has always believed he’s not dead. As long as she hasn’t seen his corpse, she will never remarry. I beg the Family Head to rescind the order and not force my mother to marry."

"Ziyue, what are you doing? Get up, whatever it is, we can talk about it later."

Mu Chen was greatly shocked and pulled Murong Ziyue up.

Today the Family Head had rarely chosen to forgive Mu Feng’s matter; if Murong Ziyue brought up breaking the engagement again at this critical moment, the Old Family Master would definitely be enraged.

Sure enough, the Old Family Master gave a cold snort.

"Murong Ziyue, you really don’t know when to stop. Your mother’s situation is all because of you. If you hadn’t been the one to regret the marriage first, why would your mother need to remarry? All the suffering she’s endured today is entirely because of you as her daughter. You know the family has always been strict with rewards and punishments. You committed the wrong, and your mother taking the punishment for you is only reasonable. Or are you saying you’re willing to abide by the marriage contract?"

"Heh~"

But just as the Old Family Master’s voice fell, they heard the little girl at the side let out two dry chuckles.

"What a nice-sounding speech. Murong Old Family Master, I think you’ve gone senile. When did Ziyue ever do anything wrong? These so-called marriages, from beginning to end, neither she nor her mother ever paid them any mind. It was you old fossils who took it upon yourselves to decide for them. If you’re so eager to marry someone off, then by all means, you go get married yourselves."
