Chapter 2455 - 34:

"Mu Huarong, you lunatic, you’re sick in the head, you’re completely insane!" Mu Huaen tried to break free from Nanny Lin as she spoke, "You damned lackey, get out of my way, I want to get off the carriage."

"Second Miss, once you’ve gotten into the Eldest Miss’s carriage, do you think you can still get off?" As she spoke, she lifted the curtain at the side. "Take a look, where is this?"

That one glance was enough—she realized they had already left the city, and all those dazzling shops had disappeared.

Only now did she suddenly realize that all the cries of hawkers were gone as well.

"Aren’t you afraid?" Mu Huarong saw that she was still rather calm and felt puzzled.

Mu Huaen didn’t answer that, but asked instead, "What are you trying to do?"

"Hua’en, although I don’t like you, in the end we share the same blood. I won’t let you spend the rest of your life with no one to rely on."

As she spoke, she even stroked Mu Huaen’s face and said with a soft smile, "I’ve found you a marriage, over in Yunchuan. It’s a bit far, the man is a good few years older, there are more people you’ll have to serve, but in my eyes it’s still a good match. In your current state, you certainly won’t find a normal family willing to take you."

Hearing these few sentences, Mu Huaen thought of what Ye Haoyang had told her before about sharing a husband.

"Mu Huarong, you dare sell me? I’ll strangle you!" Mu Huaen exploded, the hidden lion in her bristling.

Perhaps it was the first time seeing her this crazed, Mu Huarong was stunned for a moment, and Nanny Lin was also startled by her roar.

By the time they reacted, Mu Huaen’s hand was already on Mu Huarong’s throat.

This would not do at all; Nanny Lin immediately stepped forward to help Mu Huarong and pinned Mu Huaen down.

In the struggle, Mu Huarong’s neck was raked by a fingernail, leaving a bloody scratch, with beads of blood welling up.

Mu Huarong looked at the blood on her fingertips, and her gaze grew even darker.

"You really don’t know what’s good for you!" She slapped her across the face. "I kindly went and found you a husband’s family, and you’re still unwilling?"

"Pah..." Mu Huaen was furious. "Mu Huarong, you’re the one disgracing Father and Mother. It’s not that they shouldn’t have had me, it’s that they shouldn’t have had you."

"Hmph, what’s the use of a sharp tongue?"

Mu Huarong smiled, and just then the carriage came to a halt.

Nanny Lin pressed Mu Huaen down and dragged her out of the carriage. Once they were down, two burly old women came over, one of them holding a rope in her hand.

"This one has to be tied up, otherwise she’ll run." As she spoke she shot Mu Huaen a sidelong glance. "She is a bit ugly, but at least she’s a woman."

The other old woman was also from the Mu Residence and laughed. "My nephew doesn’t mind at all. Having a wife at all is good enough, and this wife is actually a young lady born to a wealthy house. Our Pang family must have accumulated blessings for several lifetimes."

"Enough, stop your useless chatter." Mu Huarong shot her an impatient glare. "I’m handing her over to you. This is her deed of sale. Once you’ve taken her back, you don’t ever need to come to the Capital City again. Make sure you keep an eye on her. If she manages to run back out, I’ll take your life."

"Yes, many thanks for the reward, Eldest Miss." Nanny Pang fell to her knees and kowtowed, her face full of joy.

Mu Huarong gave Mu Huaen another look. "From here on, we part ways. May we never meet again in this life."

Seeing the fire in Mu Huaen’s eyes, she gave a weary little smile. "Don’t hate me too much. If you must blame someone, blame fate for letting you be born into the Mu Family. One Mu Family young lady is more than enough with just me."

Only after watching Mu Huaen be thrown into the carriage did Mu Huarong get into the Mu Family’s carriage for the return trip.

"Nanny Lin, do you think I was too soft-hearted?" After the carriage had gone some distance, Mu Huarong asked, "I still don’t feel at ease. I should’ve hardened my heart a bit more and sent her off to reincarnate instead."

Nanny Lin smiled. "Eldest Miss, sometimes living hurts more than dying."
