「In the Qin Mansion.」
When Mu Wanruo awoke, she gazed at the carved wooden bed and the fine Yunyan gauze of the bed curtains. Everything was just as it had been in the Mu Family.
She almost believed that the agony of the past days had been nothing more than a dream.
That when she woke up, she would still be the young lady of the Duke Wei's Mansion.
Her father and brother would still be alive, and nothing would have happened to her mother.
But when she saw the tall figure in black brocade standing beside her, she knew that she was the one dreaming now. The Mu Family was finished.
A Hidden Guard from the Qin family approached Qin Zhi and said, "Your Majesty's man, Ye Yu, cut off one of Madam Mu's hands in front of everyone."
"What?" Mu Wanruo sat up in shock.
Hearing Mu Wanruo stir, Qin Zhi frowned slightly and stepped forward. "You're awake? It's nothing. Go back to sleep."
