Forced love, an inescapable fate

Wanyue felt the expression on Bai Yu's face gradually become heavy and complicated, and she stretched out her hand and waved in front of his eyes.

"What are you doing? Why are you so stunned?"

Bai Yu then collected his thoughts and turned to look at Wanyue. Thinking about how Wanyue had been expressing her appreciation and protection for Mu Qingli in her words and deeds recently, he couldn't help but remind her.

"Wanyue, remember your mission. Besides protecting and monitoring the Princess' every move, retract all other thoughts as soon as possible. You may not know what happened between His Highness and Princess Qingli, but you must understand the serious consequences. As long as His Highness successfully obtains the support of the Feng family, Princess Qingli's life will be of no use. His Highness will naturally deal with her personally. Everything you see now is an illusion. Do not get so close to her again. Do your duty and do not forget your identity."

This was the first time Bai Yu was so serious. Wan Yue was stunned by his words. She was shocked and her eyes couldn't help but drift towards the two people in the yard who had a harmonious relationship.

Originally, she thought Jiang Ci was just using Mu Qingli, but she never thought that he would actually take Mu Qingli's life. Wan Yue had only heard a little about what happened between the two of them in Qi State, and she just thought that they just had a bad relationship, but she didn't expect it to be like this.

Wanyue thought about what Mu Qingli said on the way back, and her heart felt sad.

At this time, the moon was high in the sky, and the bright moonlight was sprinkled in the courtyard. Looking at Jiang Ci and Mu Qingli picking up food from each other under the moonlight, Wan Yue felt cold all over. She couldn't help but hugged her arms. The gentle smile on Jiang Ci's face made her feel extremely ironic. She couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so she reached out and closed the window in front of her.

At this moment, she saw Bai Yu in front of her and felt displeased with him. She snorted coldly a few times, cursed him in her heart as "heartless and treacherous", and went back to her own business.

Bai Yu did not argue with her as usual, but silently helped Wan Yue.

The two people in the room were silent, each doing their own thing, while the two people outside were chatting happily.

The moon slowly rose higher, and Mu Qingli finally finished the full bowl of food that Jiang Ci had picked for her. She felt like her stomach was about to burst, and when she saw that Jiang Ci was still planning to pick up some food for her, she immediately reached out to cover her bowl.

"No need, brother. I'm really full. Actually, Brother Su brought some food before we came back. Wanyue and I both ate a little, but I really can't eat anymore."

Jiang Ci slowly put down the chopsticks in his hand, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"Brother Su? It seems that my sister has a good relationship with Doctor Su."

Mu Qingli chuckled and nodded.

"I guess so. Big Brother Su is a very nice person. We get along quite well. By the way, he told me today about the poison in your body. He said he was still short of a few herbs, so he planned to go out and look for them. It would probably take a few days. He prepared the medicine for your wounds for me. Mr. Bai Yu will be responsible for changing the dressings from now on. Wanyue and I may be busy recently and will be back late, so you don't have to wait for us to eat in the future. Just take care of yourself at home and don't worry about anything else."

"Don't you feel tired, sister?"

"It's not hard. How can it be hard to do something you love? Besides, it's about making money. I don't find it hard at all."

"Sister seems to like it here very much. Have you ever thought about going to other places? For example, Shangjing is very prosperous. If you want to do business, Shangjing is the most suitable place. Besides, the Feng family is there."

Jiang Ci's probing was obvious, but she was completely unprepared. She asked blankly, "Where is Shangjing? And where is the Feng family?"

Jiang Ci was slightly startled, then continued speaking.

"Sister, have you even remembered going to Kyoto? And the Feng family, have you forgotten too?"

Mu Qingli shook his head, looking confused.

"Brother, I don't remember anything after I woke up that time. Not to mention Shangjing and the Feng family, I even learned my name from others. Why did you tell me all this? What is my relationship with Shangjing and the Feng family?"

"Before coming to Qi, my elder sister was born and raised in the Feng family in Shangjing."

Jiang Ci's words made Mu Qingli very confused. The Feng family Jiang Ci mentioned should be the original owner's family, but the original owner and himself both had the surname Mu, so why were they born and raised in the Feng family?

Jiang Ci noticed the change in her expression and continued.

"Then Sister probably doesn't have much impression of General Fengzong, with whom she was engaged as a child."

"Baby kiss?"

Mu Qingli couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Well, my sister and General Feng Zong were betrothed to each other since childhood."

Mu Qingli was so shocked by this sudden information that she didn't react for a long time. She didn't expect that her original body had actually been engaged to someone as a child, but it did arouse her curiosity. The reason why she didn't ask Jiang Ci much about her original body during this period was that on the one hand, she felt that she didn't need to know, and on the other hand, she was afraid of causing unnecessary suspicion. But what Jiang Ci said just now still made her a little curious, and she couldn't help but ask the doubts in her heart.

"My last name is Mu, so why was I born and raised in the Feng family? This Feng Zong is already a general. Isn't he much older than me?"

Jiang Ci smiled and continued, "General Feng Zong is four years older than my sister. He is only twenty years old now, so he is not that old. As for why my sister was born and raised in the Feng family..."

Having said that, Jiang Ci paused and looked at Mu Qingli thoughtfully.

"I was too young when I left home, and I have forgotten the specific reasons. If my sister wants to know the truth, I am afraid she will have to return to Shangjing or ask General Fengzong to find out the truth of that year."

Hearing this, Mu Qingli was silent for a moment, then asked Jiang Ci in return.

"What my brother said to me today seemed to have hidden meanings. Tell me the truth, do you want to go back to Jingguo? I guess the Shangjing you mentioned is the capital of Jingguo."

He was a little surprised by Mu Qingli's reaction, but the original intention of him bringing up these things was to see Mu Qingli's reaction.

"Sister, do you really not want to return to Jing Kingdom at all? But during these years in Qi Kingdom, all you wanted was to return to Jing Kingdom and marry General Feng Zong. Now that we are out of prison, we have a chance to go back. Don't you really have never thought about going back?"

Jiang Ci's words left Mu Qingli speechless for a moment.

She is not the Mu Qingli of the past, so how could she have the same idea as her? Now she is free and has her own small business. Moreover, according to her current age, she has just turned sixteen and her life has just begun. If she goes back, wouldn't she have to marry that Feng Zong and be trapped behind high walls for the rest of her life? It's scary to think about it.
