Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort-Chapter 265: Tonight’s Dramatic Reversal—My Coming-of-Age Ceremony for You (Part 5)

With just a few words, the Qin Country officials were left blushing with embarrassment. Not only were they subtly mocked, but they also found themselves unable to refute the point.

Because, indeed, they had harbored suspicions in their hearts just moments ago.

Even a fleeting belief suggested they were not as clever as they thought.

Experiencing for the first time the sharp tongue of the young Lord of the Mu Mansion, these officials, well-versed in the political arena for years, felt a strong sense of being outshone by the younger generation.

Moreover, he had a grandfather whose fame was awe-inspiring across the land.

With hundreds of thousands of the Mu Family Army backing him, who dared to step forward and challenge him?

Mu Qingge’s lips curled into a faint sneer as he continued, "The main point is, what is the motive? Why would the Mu Family forsake their revered position as the War God of Qin, abandon their status as a duke, and give up fame and power? What could they possibly want? Money? The Mu Family doesn’t lack it. Power, the Mu Mansion has aplenty. There must be some reason for murder. Why would the Mu Mansion commit treason, shake hands and make peace with enemies they’ve fought for decades, and plot against their longtime allies? To what end? What gain? It can’t simply be out of boredom, seeking thrills, can it?"

Exactly! What benefit would Mu Xiong gain by collaborating with Tu Country?

To proclaim himself king? Would he need to collude with Tu Country for that? With the renown of the Mu Family Army, if Mu Xiong wanted to be king, could Emperor Qin really stop him?

If not to be king, then emperor?

That’s even less possible. If Mu Xiong had such aspirations, how would it even be the Qin Family on the throne?

The crowd continued to calculate in their hearts but couldn’t find a reasonable explanation for Mu Xiong’s ’treason.’

The only reasonable explanation was that the Imperial Family had pushed too far, forcing Mu Xiong to rebel in self-defense. But who would dare voice such reasoning? Anyone tired of living?

Everyone maintained their silence.

At this moment, Mu Qingge spoke again, "And this fire, how oddly timed it was! It so happened to break out on the day of my coming-of-age ceremony. I find it rather puzzling, how in broad daylight, with not a spark in the study room, a fire could suddenly break out? And so conveniently, it just happened to preserve these incriminating pieces of evidence of treason."

The guards who daringly brought out the unburned items from the study immediately knelt on one knee, declaring to Mu Qingge, "Young Lord, when we braved the fire and entered the study, these items were not in the burning area, so we brought them out."

"Oh?" Mu Qingge responded with a playful smile, as if talking to himself, "It seems this fire had some discernment, knowing what to burn and what not to burn."

This statement resonated with the crowd, and they suddenly all understood.

Indeed! If it was an accidental fire, with such a raging blaze, how could these specific items have been spared? Apart from being slightly scorched, they were virtually undamaged. Was there really such a coincidence in this world?

Bai Xiyue felt chills down her spine.

Her back was already damp with cold sweat, making her shiver involuntarily.

Before Mu Qingge articulated this series of words, she thought her plan was impeccably flawless, leaving no visible flaws, and providing Emperor Qin with a reason to prosecute the Mu Mansion.

However, at this moment, she felt in Mu Qingge’s mocking and playful tone that her plan was riddled with errors, as crude and simplistic as a child’s play.

No wonder! No wonder when she first saw those letters, she uttered the word ’childish.’

Even though she mimicked Mu Xiong’s handwriting so closely.

Why? Why... can he always turn the entire situation around with just a few words? Even if he can cultivate now, he’s still a spoiled brat, what gives him the right?!
