2476 Might You Have Brought Back the Wrong Person
The woman pressed her lips together, concealing the mockery and smile in her eyes. She held that young lady’s hand and walked to the main courtyard.
After pushing open the entrance to the main courtyard, Concubine Shi walked inside while holding that young lady’s hand. She called out with a smile as she walked in. “My lord, we have great news, my lord. Our family’s miss has come back.”
The entire way, all the servants curiously sized up this slightly dark-skinned young lady who clearly exuded a bumpkin air. They secretly inquired about her identity.
Concubine Shi led that young lady into the main hall with a smile. However, the smile on her face froze when she saw Mu Qingya, who was sitting beside Mu Jingfeng, slowly turning to look at her.
Mu Jingfeng had slender eyebrows that tilted upwards to his temples, and his gaze was indifferent. His fitted cyan robe made him look tall, and he had a young and handsome countenance. It was impossible to tell that he was actually middle-aged.
Mu Xingchen’s features shared a fifty or sixty percent similarity with this father of his.
Concubine Shi tugged at the dumbfounded young lady and hastily urged, “Why are you just standing there? Qiaoqiao, quickly greet your dad.”
“Wait.” Mu Qingya spoke coldly and raised her hand. “Concubine Shi, I remember Xingchen telling me that his younger sister is around 15 years old and looks very beautiful.”
That young lady’s expression abruptly stiffened. She clenched her hands tightly inside her sleeves as she found it hard to restrain her trembling.
“Furthermore, isn’t Xingchen in charge of searching for the miss? So where did you bring this person back from?” Mu Qingya looked mockingly at the woman and then turned to say to Mu Jingfeng, “My lord, this matter is of great importance. It is prudent to investigate further.”
Mu Jingfeng looked coldly at the young woman who was cowering like a quail. His brows furrowed.
“Sister, what do you mean by this? The eldest young master is worried about his younger sister, but am I not allowed to worry about one of our Mu Clan’s young ladies who grew up outside the clan? I brought the miss back from the Sikong Planet in the Lower Star Domain out of the goodness of my heart. You cannot accuse me wrongly like this.”
Mu Qingya set her tea cup heavily down on the table next to her. Shi Huixin, pay attention to your words. As the lady of the house, do I need to accuse a concubine wrongly this way?”
Concubine Shi pursed her lips inwardly. She yanked the young lady’s hand.
The young lady hastily knelt and said timidly, “Greet, greet, greetings to Father. Greetings to Mother.”
Concubine Shi chortled while covering her mouth. “I have proof. Bring them in.”
The old woman was around fifty years old. She shouted loudly, “Lord Mu, uh Madam Mu. I-I can prove, this child, is c-called, Qiao Mu. I-I am her aunt from her foster parents’ family. This humble one is surnamed Li.”
That old woman chuckled and uncomfortably pulled at the tall and skinny man next to her. “This is my son, A-Ah-Cong.”
“W-We are very familiar with her foster family. We all lived together, in Qiaotou Village, on Sikong Planet, for many years, ha ha.” The old woman tugged the corners of her mouth into a smile and quickly added, “Lord Mu, Madam Mu, Qiaoqiao is very good, ha ha. Their entire family, is quite good.”
Mu Qingya creased her brows and turned to say to Mu Jingfeng, “Xingchen this child had informed me not long ago that his younger sister had come to the Divine Province, which means that our family’s miss had come to the Divine Province by her own means. Yet Concubine Shi brought them back from Sikong Planet? You must have brought back the wrong person.”
