2654 Condemned By the Public
“The entire sea is the Long Clan’s domain. It transcends the Three Provinces. The current overlord is your maternal uncle, Long Chuyu.”
Qiao Mu blinked. Before she could voice her confusion, Chenshang continued speaking.
...
“Ten plus years ago, those scoundrels from the imperial capital’s Long Clan led a greedy bunch to the Wangchuan Sea, wanting to attack our homeland and plunder our resources.”
“Even though they didn’t succeed in the end, Wangchuan Sea suffered heavy damage, and our clansmen also had countless casualties. Afterwards, they all went into seclusion.”
Qiao Mu’s heart jolted. She stared at Chenshang expressionlessly.
She felt like she seemed to grasp some important information again. It flashed through her mind like a lightning bolt.
“After knowing this, your mother naturally was not going to take this lying down. She assembled the forces under her and wanted to declare battle on the imperial capital’s Long Clan.”
“Yet who knew that your dad would actually hold her back at this time! He united with the Mu Clan’s elders and strongly requested that she terminate all action.”
“They wanted your mother to swallow this grievance.”
“Your mother was forced by them! They said that if she wanted to fight the imperial capital’s Long Clan, she would have to break away from the Mu Clan and could not refer to herself as such. Those cowards did not want to go against the Long Clan, the Gu Clan, and their cronies. They were afraid of being under attack on all sides. They were so d*mn afraid.” Chenshang clenched her fingers tightly. “My lady couldn’t tolerate this, so she truly did leave the Mu Clan in her fury.”
“The most ludicrous thing is that this news got covered up. Other than your dad and several elders who were in the know, even the patriarch, who was in closed-door cultivation, originally did not know the reason. It wasn’t until the patriarch came out of closed-door cultivation and personally came to ask me that he learned the truth. Afterwards, he started sending people to search for you and your mother out of guilt.”
“At that time, your mother was condemned by the public. Everyone said that your mother abandoned her husband and son. By leaving the Mu Clan, she did not know filial piety, had no regard for family, and was not bound by any sense of shame.”
“But who could understand your mother’s distress? She was terribly worried and anxious for your uncle and them back then. How could she be at ease watching bandits destroy the homeland she had grown up in?”
Chenshang gritted her teeth and said, “Your dad is truly a terrible person.”
“Little Young Lady, you don’t know. Your uncles and them couldn’t participate in that secret meeting with the elders back then, so they simply did not know why your mother left the Mu Clan on her own.”
“Afterwards, your father married Mu Qingya, the Mu Clan’s adopted daughter, as his second wife. Your third uncle and sixth uncle had always thought that Mu Qingya was a corrupt and immoral woman who forced your mother to leave.”
“However, your dad actually never explained anything and let Mu Qingya be the scapegoat. Your dad is truly dreadful.” Chenshang started gritting her teeth when she got to this point.
“It truly is hard on Qingya that child. Why is she just so devoted to this brute.” Chenshang said with deep regret.
“Nanny knows Mu Qingya very well?” Qiao Mu raised her eyebrow.
Chenshang nodded. She said with a sigh, “I only know that before my lady married into the Mu Clan, the entire Mu Clan publicly recognized them to be a couple, but after my lady married into the Mu Clan, Qingya this child acted with propriety and maintained her distance with your father. She was also on extremely good relations with your mother.”
“Your mother has a cold and prideful temperament. There truly are not many people who can talk with her.”
