Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort

Chapter 70: Chapter 70: The Sickly Beauty and the Arrival of the Holy King (Part 1)

With her extraordinary memory, Mu Qingge easily returned to the place where the palace feast was held.

When she came back here, quite a few people had already arrived.

To appear at this palace feast, these people’s statuses were naturally not simple. Yet, Mu Qingge hardly recognized anyone.

Watching those who were exchanging pleasantries, she felt somewhat out of place.

Of course, those seemingly inadvertent sneers and mocking gazes that drifted toward her also let her know that she wasn’t very well liked.

With an indifferent curl of her lips, Mu Qingge was about to look for the Mu Mansion’s seat when she heard her aunt’s voice.

”Qingge, over here.”

Looking up, Mu Qingge easily spotted Mu Lianrong waving at her amidst the crowd, and standing beside her was Mu Xiong in full official attire.

That imposing manner, that steely pride made him particularly conspicuous in the crowd.

Many people wanted to approach and converse but were deterred by his strong presence.

In Qin Country, Mu Qingge could be said to be disliked. But Mu Xiong was admired.

This obvious contrast might have made the former Mu Qingge feel disappointed. However, the current Mu Qingge didn’t find anything wrong with it. With a calm smile in their direction, she walked over.

That carefree grace and nonchalance made many around her focus their gaze on her.

It seemed that they all involuntarily pondered the same question: Has something changed about the young lord of the Mu Family?

”Grandfather, Aunt.” As she approached them, Mu Qingge took the initiative to speak.

Mu Xiong, watching her performance secretly, felt increasingly satisfied in his heart.

What if his grandson was considered worthless? He still made everyone not dare to underestimate him! He still carried the prestige of the Mu Family!

”You little rascal, where did you go? Where’s the Princess?” Mu Lianrong grabbed Mu Qingge and asked softly in her ear.

Mu Qingge’s lips twitched slightly, complaining inwardly: How would she know?

But she replied, ”The Princess had something to attend to, so I was wandering alone in the Imperial Garden.” In truth, sometimes Mu Qingge didn’t quite understand Mu Lianrong’s thoughts.

Regarding the Mu Family’s matters, judging from Mu Lianrong’s previous words, it was clear she was suspicious of the Royal Family. Given this, why was she so keen on the marital alliance with the Royal Family?

It seemed as if she was afraid she wouldn’t be able to marry the Princess. She even wanted to shove that little white flower from home into her room.

”You fool! You’re always said to be an idler, a libertine. How could you not seize such a good opportunity? Next year you’ll be of age; you’ll be an adult. Once you’re of age, you need to get married as soon as possible to continue the Mu Family line. If you annoy the bride and can’t get married, how long must your grandfather and I wait?” Mu Lianrong scolded her nonstop.

Mu Qingge suddenly realized!

So, Mu Lianrong’s concern was because of this...

However, she was destined to be disappointed.

Let alone the fact that she was a woman and could not have children with another woman. Even if the Illusionary Artifact’s effects were more realistic, it wouldn’t work. Should her true identity be revealed one day, just the thought of having to find a man to have offspring made her break out in goosebumps.

”Hehe, Aunt, you really have time on your hands.” Mu Qingge smiled awkwardly.

Mu Lianrong was taken aback, then immediately heard the disdain in her nephew’s words and raised her hand as if to strike, but was stopped by Mu Xiong’s reprimand.

”Enough. Just look where you are.”

With that, he led the way to the Mu Family’s seating.
