Chapter 621 Get me out of here!
The next day, Mu Qingyuan was taken to Yu County.
Before they left, Mu Xin Nuan had given them instructions, telling him to go to Yu County and wander around, and to take a look around. If he didn't want to come back right away and wanted to stay and spend more time with Mu Xin Yao, that was fine with him.
At this time, Mu Xinyao was still in a pretty good mental state. At least, she hadn't gone mad yet. She would just frequently lose her temper, throw things, tear clothes, and beat and scold the servants.
Unfortunately, when Mu Qingyuan arrived there, the first thing he saw was Mu Xinyao, dressed neatly and cleanly, scolding and beating a little girl.
The little girl was crying her eyes out. Although it was springtime, she was dressed in thin clothes and was shivering.
"Why are you dressed so scantily? Are you deliberately bullying this young girl?"
Perhaps even Mu Qingyuan didn't expect that upon first seeing such a scene, the first person he would care about wouldn't be his own sister, but the little girl who had been beaten.
"Reporting to the Second Young Master, it's not that we wouldn't let her wear it. Look, isn't that dress just lying there? It's the Second Miss who wouldn't let her wear it. She complained that her breakfast was served late today, so she's been beating and scolding her."
From this morning until now?
Mu Qingyuan glanced at the sky. It was already past noon. This little girl had really been through a lot.
At this moment, Mu Xinyao also noticed Mu Qingyuan. At first, she really didn't recognize him.
Several years have passed since they parted. Mu Qingyuan has grown at least half a foot taller than before she got married and left the capital. Her facial features have also changed slightly. The baby fat on her face from before is no longer very noticeable.
"You, you are A Yuan?" Mu Xinyao asked in a trembling voice.
Mu Qingyuan nodded, took a few steps forward, and helped the little girl up. "It's cold, quickly put on some clothes and go do your work. Second Miss hasn't eaten anything yet, has she? Go and prepare something."
"Yes, thank you, young master."
The young maid understood that the young master was trying to help her out of a predicament, so she wiped away her tears and hurriedly left.
Mu Qingyuan noticed that the little girl's legs seemed to be a little unsteady.
"Second sister, why do you have to make things difficult for a little girl? Even if you beat her to death, it won't change anything. Why are you doing this?"
"What? You feel sorry for her? Humph! She really is a slut, a little vixen. She's already hooked up with my good brother after just one glance." Mu Xinyao was clearly displeased, and her words were naturally full of sarcasm.
"Second sister, why do you have to say such harsh things? You're already doing very well to still be able to stay in the local area, have food to eat, and even have servants to wait on you. Why don't you repent and instead become even more unreasonable?"
Mu Xinyao's eyes widened instantly, as if she wanted to devour Mu Qingyuan whole.
Her sudden change really startled Mu Qingyuan.
"Second sister, what are you doing?"
"Heh! Second sister? You still remember I'm your sister? Mu Qingyuan, let me tell you, I'm your real sister! What is that Mu Xinnuan? She just got close to Prince Chang Le because of her looks, right? Let me tell you, if it weren't for her, our mother wouldn't have died, and I wouldn't be in this state. And you're still siding with her? Do you even have a brain?"
Mu Qingyuan was startled by her somewhat crazy appearance and remained silent for a long time.
“A-Yuan, I am your real older sister, have you forgotten? When we were little, the three of us would always hold you and sing you nursery rhymes. Also, I made so many little clothes for you by hand, have you forgotten all of that?”
Mu Qingyuan shook his head. "I haven't forgotten."
In fact, Mu Qingyuan's memories of his childhood are already very vague.
When he was six years old, he became close to Mu Xinnuan and his stepmother. Later, when he started his studies, he was moved to live in the outer courtyard. In fact, he had no memory of what Song Shi looked like.
His childhood memories are mostly of how his stepmother took care of him when he was sick, and how his eldest sister personally prepared medicine for him. It seems that in his memory, they have always been his family.
"It's good that you haven't forgotten." Mu Xinyao's eyes began to wander. "A Yuan, do you know? It was Mu Xinnuan, it was her! She's the one who caused all of this. If it weren't for her, our mother wouldn't have died, and I wouldn't have married that good-for-nothing Jin Hui!"
Mu Qingyuan felt a pain in his hand. He looked down at Mu Xinyao's fingers, where the bright red nail polish was tightly gripping his wrist.
"Second sister, let go first."
Mu Xinyao seemed not to hear and shouted, "A Yuan, if our plan hadn't failed, then Mu Xinnuan and Li Shi would be the ones dead now! Our mother would have become the lady of the Mu family, you know? You would have become the legitimate son, and I would have become the legitimate daughter. Our lives would have been very different."
Mu Qingyuan was somewhat frightened this time!
She recounted the crime of murdering her stepmother and stepsister as if it were something to be proud of.
"Second sister, please stop talking."
"What? Are you scared? Don't be afraid, Yuan. It's just the two of us siblings here. To be honest, I'm being held captive by Mu Xin Nuan right now. What right does she have? What right does she have to treat me like this? I'm her own sister! Yuan, do you see? If she can treat me like this today, she'll definitely treat you like this in the future. Wake up, stop being so delusional. Mu Xin Nuan will never truly treat you well."
Mu Qingyuan shook his head, his heart trembling as he looked at Mu Xinyao's somewhat frantic state. "Second sister, are you sick? Do you have a fever?"
Mu Xinyao forcefully shook off his hand. "I'm not sick! A Yuan, if you still consider me your second sister, then find a way to get me out of here. I'm your own sister, can you really bear to watch me grow old alone here?"
Looking at Mu Xinyao like this, Mu Qingyuan naturally felt bad, but he also understood that giving her a place to stay was already the best he could do for her!
Based on the crimes Jin Hui committed, Mu Xinyao should at least be exiled. If so, she would either die on the road or be violated by the soldiers.
Although she has lost her freedom, at least she can still live a life free from worries about food and clothing and doesn't have to worry about anyone bullying her.
No matter what, her elder sister would never allow anyone to cut off her food supply.
"Second sister, don't even think about it. There's no way you can get out. Once you do, the government officials will arrest you and exile you."
