Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort-Chapter 267: Tonight’s Dramatic Reversal—My Coming-of-Age Ceremony for You (Part 7)

Mo Yang took the order and left, paying no attention to Bai Xiyue’s words.

At this moment, Mu Lianrong’s eyes were filled with pain, and the last shred of hope in her heart was shattered. Even Mu Xiong’s aura became stifled.

Mu Qingge looked at Bai Xiyue and asked gently, "Sister Xiyue, can you tell me why you went to Grandpa’s study? Why did the study catch fire inexplicably right after you left? And why were you the first to discover these letters, as if you were very familiar with them? With just a glance, you knew these letters were detrimental to the Mu Mansion, and you wanted to hide them in front of everyone."

A series of questions left Bai Xiyue speechless.

The onlookers, who had been observing, immediately understood all their doubts after Mu Qingge spoke, and all their eyes fell on Bai Xiyue.

"It seems, in this slander against Old Lord Mu, this Miss Bai is the most suspicious." Qin Jinhao said coldly. It was as if he sentenced Bai Xiyue with that one sentence.

Bai Xiyue raised her eyes incredulously to look at him, but saw no emotion beneath the cold face that haunted her dreams.

Heartless, emotionless...

These four words suddenly popped into Bai Xiyue’s mind, causing a painful twist in her heart.

"Indeed." Mu Qingge nodded, showing a pained expression.

It seemed as if being betrayed by someone she trusted in her family had hurt her feelings.

Though she might have been feigning emotion, Mu Xiong and Mu Lianrong’s feelings for Bai Xiyue were genuine. At this moment, as Mu Qingge directed all suspicion towards Bai Xiyue, the hurt and disappointment in their eyes were not feigned.

"Guards! Arrest this criminal and detain her in the Ministry of Justice Prison. I will report everything that happened today to my father, the Emperor, and make a decision thereafter." Qin Jinhao’s cold order shattered Bai Xiyue’s heart.

"No! It wasn’t me! Why would I do such a thing? The Mu Family has treated me with great kindness, how could I repay kindness with enmity?" Bai Xiyue struggled desperately, shouting to Mu Xiong and Mu Lianrong: "Grandpa Mu, Aunt Lianrong, do you also think that Xiyue did this?"

Mu Lianrong turned her head away, refusing to look at her.

Mu Xiong, on the other hand, pressed his lips tightly together and closed his eyes.

Seeing the two from the Mu Family like this, Bai Xiyue’s heart grew even more resentful. She looked desperately at Qin Jinhao and shouted: "Prince Rui, I am innocent! Please clear my name!"

"Whether you are innocent or not, it will be thoroughly investigated later. If you are truly innocent, there is no need to be so agitated; you can calmly leave with my guards." Qin Jinhao said coldly.

His words, however, carried a hint of consolation, preventing her from recklessly involving him on such a public occasion.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, hope reignited in Bai Xiyue’s heart. Her rebellious emotions were significantly alleviated.

However, Mu Qingge was unwilling to let her off so easily.

She sighed, gazing sadly at Bai Xiyue and said: "Sister Xiyue, why are you still so unremorseful at this point? Has the Mu Family ever mistreated you over the years? You yourself have acknowledged the Mu Mansion’s great kindness to you. Yet what have you done? Lv Zhi, you speak."

Bai Xiyue abruptly turned her eyes to the maid who had been silent all day, eyes full of disbelief.

Lv Zhi, who was named, kept her head lowered, walked out, knelt down, and didn’t dare to look at Bai Xiyue. She spoke softly: "Miss, you have been at the Mu Mansion for so many years. The entire Mu Mansion has always treated you sincerely. Old Lord Mu and Miss Lianrong regard you as their own, and Young Lord Mu views you as a sister. I truly can’t stand it anymore, can’t stand you always feeling that the Mu Mansion caused your family’s ruin, made you lose all that was rightfully yours. That what should have been a distinguished young lady turned into an orphan under another’s roof. Even if you hid your cultivation, then turned against the Mu Mansion, disregarding the life and death of everyone in the Mu Mansion—my conscience really can’t bear it anymore, please forgive me!" After saying this, she kowtowed desperately to Bai Xiyue, and within moments, blood began to seep from her forehead.
