Chapter 2220: The Previous Life (228)

"Jiu'er!"

Suddenly, Mu Yi called out to Jiudi.

Jiudi paused and stopped.

She still had her back to the person behind her and did not look back. Her snow-white robe fluttered in the wind, which made Mu Yi's eyes a little dazed.

"Although you are not my daughter, when you were here, I treated you very well!" Mu Yi closed his eyes in pain.

This time, he acknowledged Jiudi's identity.

It also indirectly proved that he had known that Jiudi was not his biological daughter.

"When I first met your mother, I didn't know she was pregnant. She just lost her memory and didn't remember anything. It was only later that I accidentally discovered it."

"But at that time, I had no way to leave him. As long as she was willing to stay, let alone let me raise her daughter, no matter what I asked me to do, I would be willing."

"But, I was wrong..." Mu Yi closed his eyes, "I didn't protect her well back then, so she suffered so much grievance and torture, and also made her embarrassed by my mother."

Jiudi pursed his lips and said nothing.

It was precisely because of the kindness of raising him that year that he never had a quarrel with Mu Yi.

But every time these people came to the door, they would end up seeking their own death.

"Your mother and I are just like a couple, but we have never been like a real couple..." He opened his eyes, "She has never been willing to sleep with me, even though we have been married."

The Nineth Emperor was shocked. This was beyond her expectations.

Back then, Mu Yi was also sincere to his mother...

But later his mother died.

Mu Yi had a bitter smile on his lips. Seeing that the Nineth Emperor did not speak, he continued: "Later, your mother was gone, leaving only you. What do you want me to do? For your mother, I still plan to adopt you. In the end, you want to leave by yourself."

The Nineth Emperor lowered his eyes and smiled softly: "If I don't leave, I'm afraid... I will be sold by you, right?"

As soon as these words fell, Mu Yi's heart trembled. He raised his head and looked at the Nineth Emperor in disbelief, with a look of astonishment in his eyes.

Even his voice was trembling.

"You... you know everything?"

Jiudi smiled faintly and said, "I just heard it accidentally, so why don't I leave? Should I be sold to someone else as a concubine by you?"

Mu Yi's face turned pale and he clenched his fists tightly.

Back then, Jiu'er had an outstanding appearance at a young age, and countless people wanted to marry her in advance, but those people's family backgrounds were ordinary.

Later, his mother suggested... selling Jiu'er to someone as a concubine.

At that time, the power of the Mu family was not high, and it was difficult for him and his mother to be tolerated by the Mu family. It was too difficult to be someone's wife, so in the end they could only be concubines.

He told his mother at that time that he wanted to go back and think about it.

In fact, he still had selfish motives at that time. Jiu'er was not his biological daughter, and his mother didn't know about this. Later, his wife was gone, and he kept her so that she could have enough food and not starve.

If she became someone's concubine, at least she would have no worries about food and clothing in the future, and she could live a more luxurious life.

But he rejected his mother after two days of consideration...

Because he knew Jiuer would not agree with her temper, and if he did so, he would be sorry for his deceased wife.

But he never thought that Jiuer would hear these words and leave in anger.
