Chapter 1287: Mu Mu Is Missing

The room door was pushed open and Ah Zhou brought the South Duchess in.

The South Duchess had become a disabled person. Many years ago, she had ordered someone to injure Concubine Yu and caused her to be unable to walk for the rest of her life. Because of this, Xuan Ying had ordered for the South Duchess to be disabled as well.

Ah Zhou pushed her in and she fell onto the ground in a pathetic fashion. She glared at Xuan Ying with deep hatred in her eyes. “You damned thing! I should have killed you back then. You caused Mu’er’s death! You’re going to have a miserable death!”

Turning around with one hand in his pocket, Xuan Ying stood tall and looked at the South Duchess from above. With a cold smirk on his face, he said, “I’m not sure whether I’ll suffer a miserable death, but I do know that you’re going to have a miserable death.”

“You!”

Xuan Ying crouched down, his voice cold and dangerous as he asked, “Were you behind me being drugged three years ago?”

The South Duchess froze for a moment. “You recall it now?”

Xuan Ying didn’t respond.

Knowing she had guessed correctly, she let out a devious bark of laughter. “You’re right, I was behind it! The South Duke found you and wanted to bring you back to the South Palace. I knew that he was only merely going to use you, but I still didn’t like the idea of you coming back, so I ordered for you to be drugged.

“I ordered someone to give you the strongest aphrodisiac and tie you on the bed. I wanted to watch you be tormented by the effects of it and eventually die from it. It would have been an interesting way to die... But who knew that you would be able to escape even after being drugged. I heard that you raped Feng Lingxue that night.

“Xuan Ying, we all know that Feng Lingxue’s first man is you. We knew that Mu Mu is your biological daughter, but we chose not to tell you about it. You must have suffered these three years. You thought that Feng Lingxue betrayed you, you thought that she was tainted. You humiliated her in all ways, hit her, gave her away to someone else. Ha ha ha, you’re a fool. That man was you, she never betrayed you, she loved you all along, but you pushed her away, far away.

“Knowing all this, do you still dare to take off that silver mask on your face? If Feng Lingxue sees your hideous face, she would definitely look down on you. If she learns that you raped her three years ago, she would definitely hate you. You were the cause of her and Mu Mu’s misfortune!

“Xuan Ying, you deserve everything. This is retribution for you. I curse you, you will never be loved by Feng Lingxue for the rest of your life!”

Hearing those words, Xuan Ying furrowed his brows and clenched his fists tightly.

Yes, the South Duchess had touched the deepest wound in his heart, hitting him where it hurt the most.

...

Hidden underneath his silver mask, he had a hideous appearance. Not only that, but he had also hidden all the selfishness and all of his dark past behind the mask.

The South Duchess wasn’t wrong, he had harmed Lingling.

It was all because of him.

She had been suffering ever since she was young and he even made her life worse, letting Mu Mu and her suffer so much.

He wasn’t worthy of her.

Xuan Ying stood up. “Take her away.”

“Yes, Master.”

With that, Ah Zhou dragged the South Duchess away. The room was completely silent and Xuan Ying stood in front of the windows alone. He felt content knowing that Lingling and Mu Mu were his.

But when he stood there, the darkness seemed to swallow him whole.

...

Dawn.

Xia Ling took Mu Mu to kindergarten when she heard the beep of a car horn.

Lifting her eyes, she saw a luxury limousine stopping. The door opened and Xuan Ying came out.

“Handsome Uncle.” Mu Mu’s eyes lit up when she saw Xuan Ying.

Xuan Ying walked over, ruffling Mu Mu’s hair. “Mu Mu, can I hold you?”

“Yes!”

Mu Mu reached up in excitement and Xuan Ying crouched over, holding Mu Mu in his arms. The other children saw them and were filled with envy. “Wow, Mu Mu, is this your daddy? He’s so tall and handsome.”

Mu Mu stretched her arms out, hugging Xuan Ying’s neck. “Yes, he’s my daddy!”

After saying this, Mu Mu then glanced at Xuan Ying, winking at him, afraid that he would be unhappy.

Mu Mu was strong, brave, optimistic and more sensitive than children of her age. She wasn’t like other girls who grew up in happy families, but she was still a lovable child.

Xuan Ying’s heart wrenched in pain, it hurt to even breathe. His Mu Mu had to suffer so much because of him. He kissed Mu Mu on the cheek, whispering in her ear, “Daddy will always stay by your side.”

When Xia Ling witnessed the scene, she felt that Xuan Ying was being strange today.

“Mu Mu, it’s time to go in,” Xia Ling said.

Xuan Ying placed Mu Mu down and Mu Mu headed inside with the other children, waving at them happily before she left.

After Mu Mu went inside, Xia Ling turned around to leave.

“Lingling,” Xuan Ying suddenly called her name.

Xia Ling stopped, turning back to look at him. “Silver Mask King, what’s the matter?”

As Xuan Ying looked at her beautiful face, he pursed his lips. “Do you want to know... who Mu Mu’s father is?”

When she heard this, Xia Ling was reminded of that painful night three years ago, the man pressing himself against her was just like a beast, pushing her deep into the depths of hell.

All the color drained from her face. “I don’t want to know, it’s all in the past. Mu Mu is my daughter, I don’t have anything to do with her biological father. I just want to lead a peaceful life with Mu Mu.”

Xuan Ying’s Adam’s apple bobbed. How was he going to say it, how was he going to tell her about it? She didn’t even want to know...

“Silver Mask King, if there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first.” Xia Ling turned around and left.

...

Xuan Ying returned to the limousine and Ah Zhou asked, “Master, how should we deal with Shi Xiaoxiao and Auntie Su?”

Xuan Ying looked out of the window, his expression frosty. “Shi Xiaoxiao is General Shi’s daughter. Given that it’s a tumultuous period now, with the West Duke ascending the throne and letting his guard down against General Shi, I’ve heard that General Shi has gained control over the most important borders of Country A. Cut a section of Shi Xiaoxiao’s hair and send it to General Shi as a warning.”

“Understood.” Ah Zhou nodded.

All of a sudden, they heard someone screaming, “There’s a fire! Fire”

Xuan Ying lifted his eyes, seeing thick smoke coming out of the kindergarten. The kindergarten was on fire.

The children were all inside, including Mu Mu.

Xuan Ying’s heart sank, having a bad feeling about it. Pulling the door open, he quickly leaped out of the limousine.

The kindergarten teacher ran out. “It’s bad! We had an emergency evacuation just now and the children are all safe, but there’s one child missing. Mu Mu is missing!”

What? Mu Mu was missing?

How could Mu Mu be missing?

Xuan Ying’s pupils contracted, the bad feeling had come true. Someone was doing this on purpose.

Just then, his cell phone rang.

Taking out his phone, he saw that it was General Shi calling.
