The legitimate daughter returns, and everyone in the Marquis's mansion regrets and begs for for

"I'm not afraid! Mother, I'm not afraid of him! I know you feel sorry for me! But I can't let anyone bully me anymore!" Qu Muya said firmly, "I want revenge!"

"Then you need to be careful!"

"Okay! I'll be careful, thank you for the reminder, Mother!"

Qu Muya said, then glanced at Madam Qu again before turning and leaving.

Madam Qu watched Qu Muya's retreating figure, a thoughtful look in her eyes.

Qu Muya returned to the room, sat at the table, tapped her fingers lightly on the table twice, pursed her lips into a line, and her eyes were filled with anger and resentment.

Li Mo, you're ruthless!

For you, I gave up everything.

But what about you?

And yet you treat me like this!

I will slowly repay the hatred I have!

Qu Muya silently recited this in her heart, a fierce light flashing in her eyes.

She will definitely take revenge, she definitely will!

Madam Qu looked at Qu Muya with some hesitation. Qu Muya's personality was becoming more and more rebellious, which made her more and more worried.

Is Li Mo's love for Qu Muya genuine? Will he lose his temper and do something to hurt Qu Muya?

Her daughter was too naive, so naive that she was ignorant of the ways of the world, and she dared not gamble.

But if she doesn't gamble, how can she save her?

Madam Qu secretly plotted in her heart, a glint of shrewdness flashing in her eyes.

She thought about it again and again, and decided that she still had to tell Master Qu about it.

After all, Master Qu was the victor in this struggle.

Master Qu will surely have a solution!

So she immediately sent someone to deliver the message.

Her personal nanny returned quickly to report.

"Madam, Prime Minister Qu requests your presence in the main hall for a meeting."

Madam Qu frowned slightly, recalling what Qu Muya had just said, and a sense of worry crept into her heart.

When Madam Qu arrived at the main hall, she found that Master Qu was not in a good mood.

Master Qu sat in the chair, holding a teacup in his hand, but couldn't drink a drop.

Madam Qu couldn't help but furrow her brows.

"Father, what's wrong?" Qu Muya asked.

When Master Qu looked up and saw that it was Madam Qu, a strange light flashed in his eyes.

"Why are you here?" he asked unhappily.

"Father, Muya is very anxious after hearing that you intend to marry her off to Li Mo. That's why I've come to ask you, hoping you will agree."

"Nonsense!" Master Qu's voice suddenly rose, and he stared at Madam Qu with wide eyes, his gaze icy cold.

Madam Qu was startled and immediately knelt down. "Father, Muya is ignorant. Please, for her sake, consider her young age and don't have the heart to marry her off to a treacherous place."

Qu Muya also knelt down: "Father, I am willing to marry Li Mo, I only beg you not to send me to the palace!"

"Nonsense!" Master Qu roared. "Do you know where that is? That's the imperial palace! You are the legitimate daughter of the Qu family, how can you just enter the palace like that? Won't that make people gossip behind your back?"

"Father, don't worry, Muya will be careful! She won't let others look down on the Qu family!"

"I'm worried! You're my only daughter! What if something happens to you? How can I face the ancestors of the Qu family!" Master Qu roared.

"Father..." Madam Qu wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Master Qu, "There's no room for discussion on this matter. Prepare my dowry tomorrow and send it to the Li residence."

"No!" Madam Qu cried out. "Father, you can't force Muya!"

"You're my daughter, of course I'll pressure you!" Master Qu said angrily. "I know you still care about the Li family and want to have a son or daughter for Li Mo, but you also have to think about the Qu family."

"The Li family is not only a hereditary noble family, but also the richest family in the capital! My precious daughter has married into the Li family; how can she be mistreated? I must send her to the Li residence!"

"Father!" Qu Muya shouted, "You can't marry me off to that good-for-nothing! That good-for-nothing is not worthy of me at all!"

Master Qu's face instantly darkened.

"Useless trash?" he sneered. "Who do you think Li Mo is? He's a fifth-rank official appointed by the current emperor. Although his official rank isn't very high, he controls the military! Do you really think he married you because he loves you?"

He likes your beauty! Your body!

After finishing his sentence, Master Qu turned and strode out.

Madam Qu stood there stunned, tears streaming down her face.

She shook her head in disbelief.

Master Qu is right, it's all because Li Mo is lusting after her beauty.

She had been pampered since childhood and had never met such a shameless man!

But why did she feel not a trace of anger, but instead a sense of sweetness and happiness?

Is it because she loves him?

No, absolutely impossible!

She was his nominal sister, but she was born out of wedlock in the Qu family. He didn't love her, so how could she possibly love him?

Madam Qu shook her head vigorously, trying to clear her mind of the chaos and regain her composure.

She cannot fall in love with Li Mo, much less marry him; she is his own sister!

She must protect the Qu family mansion, her father and mother, and herself!

She must stop this marriage, stop this conspiracy.

After leaving the study, Master Qu slammed his cane against a pillar with a loud thud.

Li Mo, I will absolutely not let you marry my daughter, don't even think about it!

This was Lady Qu's second visit to the palace.

The first time, she entered the palace by imperial decree, but the second time, Qu Muya requested to enter the palace herself.

When Madam Qu saw Li Mo standing in front of her, she felt a little uneasy, after all, she had been humiliated by the Li family not long ago.

Li Mo's gaze swept over her coldly.

Madam Qu lowered her head somewhat guiltily, her eyes darting around, clearly feeling very ashamed.

Li Mo didn't say anything, but walked straight forward a few steps.

Madam Qu was so nervous that sweat beaded on her forehead. She quickened her pace and bowed rapidly to Li Mo, saying, "This humble woman greets Your Excellency."

Li Mo's gaze toward Madam Qu grew increasingly cold, as if she were a filthy snake, spitting out venomous tongues, waiting for him to bite her to death.

He suddenly reached out and grabbed her by the neck.

Madam Qu's face flushed red, her eyes filled with fear and panic.

She tried her best to break free from Li Mo, but she was no match for his strength.

"My lord, spare me!" she wailed in agony. "Spare this humble woman! I'll never dare to do it again!"

Li Mo's grip tightened, making it difficult for Madam Qu to breathe. She slapped Li Mo's hand hard, trying to get him to release her throat.

But the more she patted him, the stronger Li Mo's grip became.

Mrs. Qu's legs gradually weakened, and she collapsed limply to the ground.

Her lips were purple, her eyes were filled with horror, and she looked like she was about to suffocate.

"My lord! No! My lord!"

Just when she thought she was going to die from this move, she suddenly felt a slight pain in her neck.
