Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower novel Chapter 720

Chapter 720: Sweet Mu Fei Jiu <1>

“Come with me, Father.” Mu Fei Jiu tugged her father’s sleeve, asking him to follow her along.

“Alright, alright.”

Being a doting father, Fourth Master Mu had no reason to reject his daughter’s request. He looked behind him where his fifth brother, the only surviving member aside from him for a moment. The Mu Family Head, their father, was a Duke and also the head of the Ministry of Defense.

But he had long abused his power and earned a lot of benefits for Mu Family. Originally, he didn’t think that the Emperor would sort him out because he held such an important position in the Ministry of Defense. But he was wrong. Terribly wrong.

The Emperor didn’t spare them.

Now, the Mu Family had fallen.

Three of his brothers had died along with all of their descendants. General Mu, who was also the first son, had long departed from Mu Family with his family members when he was stationed at the frontline. Thus, he could escape this fate. Besides, his contribution alone would make it awkward for the Emperor to punish him.

He’s a war hero, how could the Emperor punish him arbitrarily?

So, he was spared.

As for the third brother, the only reason he was spared was because he focused his living as an ordinary store owner. It had a lot of profit and more than half of the chain was destroyed in order to pay the compensation. But the rest would be enough for him and his family members to live.

It was the mercy of the Emperor to allow him to stay alive.

The rest of the Mu Family members who were in politics had all been implicated and executed. Even his cousins and other uncles were not spared as they were all purged almost completely.

And amazingly, the Emperor had already picked someone to replace them. It was as if there has been the plan to eliminate them from the very beginning.

It was terrifying.

Fourth Master Mu lowered his head and pushed the thoughts to the back of his head as he followed his daughter to the carriage. Looking at the ‘Nan’ word at the front of the door, he blinked his eyes.

Nan Family?

His daughter was friend with someone from Nan Family?

Mu Fei Jiu curtsied when she reached the door. “Is Young Miss Nan inside?”

Chu Yue smiled when she saw Mu Fei Jiu. She had heard what Mu Fei Jiu did to help Nan Hua back then. “Young Miss is inside. Please come inside, Fourth Miss Mu, Young Miss has been waiting for you.”

“I know Sister Hua is nice to me.” Mu Fei Jiu immediately beamed.

Looking at the brilliant smile on his daugther’s face, Fourth Master Mu began to wonder whether it was the correct decision for him to allow them to meet. But thinking that he couldn’t possibly keep his daughter locked in his home forever, he sighed and allowed them to meet.
