Family affection? Is it important to have rights?

You have to feel as much pain as I do to be considered an apology, otherwise there is no fairness in the world. - "Apology" by Wang Chaoran

"Miss, it's time to get up."

A soft, unfamiliar voice was heard from outside the curtain. Mu Tangxi slowly opened his eyes, revealing two amber eyes on his young face.

The color that was originally very transparent was now filled with numbness and remained open.

It was not until Mu Tangxi's eyes were wide open and tears were flowing out that she blinked in realization.

She raised her hand and looked at the intact hand in front of her, which was short and small.

Mu Tangxi tilted her head. Has she returned to her childhood?

But since her sister is no longer from this world, it is not surprising for her to return to her childhood.

Seeing the maid looking at her worriedly, she responded casually.

"Ah."

She glanced at the maid lightly, slowly got up from the bed, and walked awkwardly and slowly to the dressing table and sat down.

Mu Tangxi stared at the blurry face in the mirror. This was her childhood self, before Miss Zhen came back.

She pulled the corners of her mouth and slowly formed a stiff smile, which made the maid who was helping her comb her hair behind her feel a little chilly.

"What are you going to do today?"

Mu Tangxi maintained his smile and asked in a flat tone.

The maid's eyes flickered. She didn't know why the young lady was a little strange today.

"Miss, today is your tenth birthday." The maid combed her hair carefully without looking away.

The sound of the wind outside the window, the sound of the servants cleaning, the wafting fragrance of flowers, all the sounds and smells made her miss them so much.

What happened when she was ten?

Mu Tangxi recalled the vague memories of her previous life. It seemed that something big happened when she was ten years old. What was it?

Ah, Mu Tangxi stroked her left cheek, and she remembered that her elder brother would take her out for a trip today, and then she would have an extra scar.

Mother and father would scold my eldest brother, and after a brief moment of sympathy, my mother would think that the scar on her face was not to be seen by others.

Her father rarely saw her after she got a scar on her face.

The eldest brother will become more stable because of this incident, but after being punished by his parents, his original guilt towards her will turn into dissatisfaction. However, when the real daughter comes back, he will transfer the guilt that she has never experienced to Mu Lianxue.

Her parents gave up on her in her previous life, so would they give up on her eldest brother, their eldest son, in this life?

She raised an innocent smile. If it was her elder brother who was disfigured today, she would definitely be good to him and would not transfer the blame to others.

The maid who was tying her hair lowered her eyes, pretending she saw nothing, and continued with her skillful technique.

"What's your name?"

Mu Tangxi suddenly asked.

"I am Dongzhu." Dongzhu replied in a low voice.

Dong Zhu is an orphan. She only remembers that in her previous life, this maid was sold by her mother after her face was scratched.

Mu Tangxi's expression softened, no longer showing the weirdness from before, and she sighed softly, "I just had a dream and scared you."

Dong Zhu knelt down quickly and denied, "I didn't scare you."

Before Mu Tangxi could say anything, the voices of servants were heard outside. Her elder brother had arrived, the one who had pushed her into the abyss.

Mu Tangxi's eyes moved and she turned to look at her elder brother. The moment her elder brother stepped into the room, the expression on her face changed.

The amber pupils softened, and under the sunlight, they looked like flowing gold.

When he looked at his eldest brother, he had an innocent smile on his face, and no one knew what he was thinking.

But Mu Jinfeng just felt that his sister was indeed very cute. With a comfortable smile, he strode forward, picked up his soft and tender sister and lifted her up high.

Mu Tangxi didn't feel uncomfortable either, she laughed happily, she liked this way of feeling that she was still alive.

Mu Jinfeng found that his sister was not afraid at all, and he became even happier.

"Come on, big brother will take you out to play!"

"Big brother won't take the second and third brothers with him?"

"No, big brother will only take you out to play."

"Thank you, brother!"

Mu Jinfeng curved his lips and took his sister to play on the street, unaware that his sister was looking at him with increasingly strange eyes.

Dong Zhu couldn't help but shudder as she stood there. Was it her illusion? She always felt that the young lady was strange today.

Mu Jinfeng vaguely felt that his sister was unusually quiet today, but he immediately put this thought out of his mind.

After stepping out of the mansion, Mu Tangxi looked back at the words on the plaque, [Mu Mansion].

What a magnificent two words, but behind them are countless wealth and power struggles.

Everyone in the mansion has his or her own little thoughts and is thinking about competing, just like her father.

——Only see the benefits.

But she is the same now, no one can kill her interests.

This was taught by both my father and mother.

She didn't understand before, but now she does.

Mu Tangxi lowered her eyes and smiled slightly. She wanted more power. The taste of power was extremely good. Let her have a taste of it in this life.

She was obediently pulled into the carriage by her eldest brother, and was extremely curious about the expressions of her father and mother.

The sturdy horses pulled the exquisite carriage slowly, and the sound of rumbling wheels followed.

Mu Jinfeng lowered the curtains on both sides of the carriage and waited cautiously for the carriage to start moving. Then he took out a short stick-like object wrapped in layers of precious cloth from his arms.

Mu Tangxi understood in her heart that this was the source of all the pain in her previous life. Her heartbeat quickened slightly and her face flushed with excitement.

Receiving his sister's expectant look, Mu Jinfeng raised his chin slightly, very satisfied with her reaction.

He slowly uncovered the cloth, and the items inside slowly revealed their true appearance.

It is an exquisitely crafted dagger with the handle inlaid with gorgeous gems, which makes it look particularly valuable against the gold.

The dagger was reflected in Mu Tangxi's slightly dilated amber pupils, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Bathed in his sister's "admiring" gaze, Mu Jinfeng wanted to show himself more and more.

So he recalled his memory of his friend spinning the dagger and began to try it himself. He spun it twice and found it very easy and simple, and then gradually forgot that he was still in this slightly shaking carriage.

An unfamiliar carriage came straight towards the Prime Minister's carriage. Although the coachman tried his best to save the situation, the carriage was still overturned.

Maybe it was because the carriage had been very stable before, or maybe it was because Mu Jinfeng was immersed in the action of spinning the knife and couldn't extricate himself.

So when the carriage was hit, no one reacted.

No, one person reacted, Mu Tangxi.

But she did not warn him out loud. Instead, she moved away from Mu Jinfeng without leaving a trace. With a smile on her face, she looked gently at her elder brother whose life was about to take a turn.

She was curious, would her elder brother cheer up soon?

He said in his previous life that there was nothing to be sad about with such a minor injury, and that it was just an injury.

It was as if he had completely forgotten that her injury was caused by him, and he hadn't considered what her future life would be like.

A life that is like hell and worse than death.
