Chapter 720: Sweet Mu Fei Jiu <1>

"Come with me, Father." Mu Fei Jiu tugged her father\'s sleeve, asking him to follow her along.         

But he had long abused his power and earned a lot of benefits for Mu Family. Originally, he didn\'t think that the Emperor would sort him out because he held such an important position in the Ministry of Defense. But he was wrong. Terribly wrong.     

The Emperor didn\'t spare them.     

Now, the Mu Family had fallen.     

Three of his brothers had died along with all of their descendants. General Mu, who was also the first son, had long departed from Mu Family with his family members when he was stationed at the frontline. Thus, he could escape this fate. Besides, his contribution alone would make it awkward for the Emperor to punish him.     

He\'s a war hero, how could the Emperor punish him arbitrarily?     

So, he was spared.     

As for the third brother, the only reason he was spared was because he focused his living as an ordinary store owner. It had a lot of profit and more than half of the chain was destroyed in order to pay the compensation. But the rest would be enough for him and his family members to live.     

It was the mercy of the Emperor to allow him to stay alive.     

The rest of the Mu Family members who were in politics had all been implicated and executed. Even his cousins and other uncles were not spared as they were all purged almost completely.     

And amazingly, the Emperor had already picked someone to replace them. It was as if there has been the plan to eliminate them from the very beginning.     

It was terrifying.     

Fourth Master Mu lowered his head and pushed the thoughts to the back of his head as he followed his daughter to the carriage. Looking at the \'Nan\' word at the front of the door, he blinked his eyes.     

Nan Family?     

His daughter was friend with someone from Nan Family?     

Mu Fei Jiu curtsied when she reached the door. "Is Young Miss Nan inside?"     

Chu Yue smiled when she saw Mu Fei Jiu. She had heard what Mu Fei Jiu did to help Nan Hua back then. "Young Miss is inside. Please come inside, Fourth Miss Mu, Young Miss has been waiting for you."     

"I know Sister Hua is nice to me." Mu Fei Jiu immediately beamed.     

Looking at the brilliant smile on his daugther\'s face, Fourth Master Mu began to wonder whether it was the correct decision for him to allow them to meet. But thinking that he couldn\'t possibly keep his daughter locked in his home forever, he sighed and allowed them to meet.     

Mu Fei Jiu entered the carriage and then looked at her father, "Father, please come inside."     

"Is it alright?"     

"Yes, you may come in Fourth Master Mu." A melodious voice rang from the other side of Mu Fei Jiu.     

Fourth Master Mu was a bit surprised when he heard the voice, but he still followed his daugther\'s words and entered the carriage. With three people inside the carriage, there wouldn\'t be any strange rumors floating around.     

After all, it was very likely that there wouldn\'t be anyone who would dare to say anything when they considered who they were.         

When Fourth Master Mu entered the carriage, he was stunned when he saw the fair young lady sitting beside his daughter. He immediately took the seat opposite of them while his heart was a in a bit of turmoil.     

Young Miss Nan.     

And from the way it looked like, she should be the first young miss. After all, Second Young Miss Nan had just disgraced herself and locked inside Nan Family Residence. His daughter had also told him that she was friends with First Young Miss Nan.     

"It\'s a pleasure to be able to see you, First Young Miss Nan," Fourth Master Mu greeted politely.     

"It\'s a pleasure to see you too." Nan Hua could see that Fourth Master Mu\'s complexion was a bit pale. It was clear that his health was not too good and he had to rely on a lot of medicines in order to be able to survive this long.     

Mu Fei Jiu tugged Nan Hua\'s sleeve and leaned closer. "Sister Hua, are you here to see whether I\'m okay or not?"     

Facing Mu Fei Jiu\'s childish gesture, Nan Hua felt a bit helpless. She was really not used to be treated like a big sister. However, she still stroked Mu Fei Jiu\'s hand tenderly. "Yes, I heard the situation of Mu Family and come to see you."     

"I know it! Sister Hua is the best!"     

Nan Hua poked Mu Fei Jiu\'s forehead. "Don\'t say that in front of your older sister or she\'ll be jealous."     

"She won\'t." Mu Fei Jiu stuck out her tongue like a playful little girl. "Sister Xin will treat me well no matter what and she likes Sister Hua too. If only the three of us are born as sisters, I\'ll be very happy."     

Fourth Master Mu was stunned. "Jiu\'er, don\'t be so childish."     

He didn\'t know Nan Hua that well, but seeing his daughter acting so coquettishly, he really didn\'t know what he should feel. He really didn\'t want to see her acting like this in front of others even if that person was a young girl.     

What if it was a man?     

Damn! He\'s not ready to marry his little daughter away.     

When that edict came and took his first daughter away when she was still very young, he had been devastated. But since he still has Mu Fei Jiu beside him, he could cope up with it.     

Thinking that his little daughter would leave later, he felt a bit depressed.     

"Don\'t worry Dad, I\'m still your sweet daughter," Mu Fei Jiu immediately coaxed her father sweetly.
