"Why did you faint at the old man's funeral?"

"I don't know if she is really sad or just pretending. Once the old man leaves, there will be no one in the Mu family to protect her. Let's see how she can still be so arrogant!"

"She started to act arrogantly with the title of Mr. Mu's fiancée. If it weren't for the old man's protection, how could she stay in the Mu family?"

The chaotic sounds around her ears were a bit noisy. Chu Peining, who was lying on the bed, frowned and raised her hand to press her eyebrows to relieve the pain in her head.

Her long eyelashes moved, and she opened her eyes. She was stunned for a moment when she saw the novel decoration in the room, and murmured, "Success..."

She stood up with difficulty and realized how weak her body was.

His figure was thin, almost bony, and his skin looked sickly pale.

A pair of thin and long hands were supported on the bed and trembling slightly. There were large black bruises on the back of the hands, with dense needle holes distributed inside, which were the traces of long-term intravenous drip.

The faint smell of medicine and chemicals mixed together made Chu Peining a little unacceptable.

The woman who was sneering at the side heard the noise and looked over. Seeing her stand up and stride forward, she showed no disdain in her eyes: "Since you are alright, go back and kneel down."

The woman next to her said unhappily, "You fainted after kneeling for only a short time. Do you really think you are the daughter of the Mu family? You don't have the luxury of pretending!"

Chu Peining sat back and leaned against the head of the bed.

Two seconds later, I finally understood my current situation.

Twelve years ago, she was brought back by Mr. Mu and had a new identity - the fiancée of the eldest grandson of the Mu family.

For several years, she acted arrogantly and recklessly under the title of fiancée.

The Mu family had never had a good impression of this girl of unknown origin. She was frail and sickly, and looked half dead all day long.

Unfortunately, she had a spoiled personality and enjoyed the favors of the Mu family, while at the same time bullying others and tarnishing the reputation of the Mu family.

If it weren't for Mr. Mu's protection, she wouldn't have been able to stay here until now.

Now that the old man has passed away, Chu Peining has lost her support, and the Mu family continues to make trouble for her, asking her to kneel in front of the old man's coffin to express her gratitude for his upbringing over the years.

Thinking of this, Chu Peining snorted coldly and subconsciously looked at her slender wrist where the blood vessels were clearly visible.

Raise?

It's just a sinister plot.

Mr. Mu was nice to her, but unfortunately, his original intention was not good.

Seeing that she hadn't moved for such a long time, the woman immediately became angry: "What are you still standing there for? Stop pretending to be sick, kneel down quickly!"

Chu Peining glanced sideways and said in a hoarse voice: "Hmm?"

"Are you deaf when I'm talking to you?" The woman looked ferocious and immediately stepped forward and tried to pull her off the bed.

Before his hand touched Chu Peining's arm, the person on the bed suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled it hard with all his strength.

With a bang, it hit the wall.

The violent impact on the woman's brain almost made her faint. She seemed to sense something and touched her forehead, her hands were sticky and stained with blood.

She screamed subconsciously.

Chu Peining bent his long legs, put his arms casually on his knees, glanced at him slowly, and said in a calm voice: "How can a servant yell at me?"

After saying this, Chu Peining suddenly recalled that during the time she had been in the Mu family, she was treated even worse than a servant.

Even if Mr. Mu wanted to protect her, he couldn't look after her all the time due to his busy business.

Chu Peining: “…”

She had only been away for a few hundred years, and when she woke up she found herself becoming a poor little thing living under someone else's roof and being oppressed?

There were chaotic footsteps coming from outside.

"Chu Peining, what are you doing again...ah!"

Madam Mu, who had rushed over after hearing that Chu Peining had woken up, heard the scream and immediately quickened her pace. She saw the servant lying on the ground with blood stains on his forehead.

Madam Mu frowned and glared at Chu Peining.

"Chu Peining, you are unruly on weekdays, but today is the old man's funeral, and you actually beat the servants and made them bleed. Are you worthy of the old man's care for you for so many years?"

Chu Peining raised her pale lips, looked up at Madam Mu, and smiled slowly: "Do you need me to thank him?"

Those charming phoenix eyes were slightly raised, and her eyebrows were restrained, which made Mrs. Mu's heart flicker.

What she hated most was Chu Peining's face.

Although she is only seventeen years old, she has a beautiful and graceful figure.

Although she exudes the cool aura of snow on the mountain top, her eyes exude the strong allure of a delicate rose.

After so many years in the Mu family, Mrs. Mu was really afraid that her son would be bewitched by this face.

Fortunately, Chu Peining was ignorant and stupid, and he ruined his own reputation.

Which noble family would marry a woman with no talent and no morals?

The room was silent for a moment.

Madam Mu frowned.

She knows best what Chu Peining is like.

Even if he acts recklessly outside with the identity of the Mu family, he has to be humble to her when he comes back.

Now that he's in such a big trouble, he dares to confront her? !

Madam Mu's eyes were red with anger. She took two steps forward and raised her hand to slap him.

"Chu Peining, you are really outrageous. How dare you say such outrageous words!"

Before his hand even dropped, it was grabbed out of thin air.

Madam Mu was startled. She looked at Chu Peining's pale face and couldn't believe where she got the courage from.

With a "crack", Madam Mu screamed in pain, "My hand..."

She turned to look at the culprit sitting on the bed, her eyes red.

"Chu Peining, how dare you..."

The servants around were shocked by this sudden scene and no one dared to speak.

Chu Peining got out of bed slowly, not paying any attention to Mrs. Mu's face which had become ferocious with disgust and resentment.

"There are many things I dare to do. If you don't believe me, you can come and try."

After saying that, he left the room.

No one dared to stop him.

When Mu Zhehan hurried over, Chu Peining had disappeared.

He looked at Madam Mu, who was sitting aside and having her injuries treated by a doctor, and frowned.

"Mom, where's Chu Peining?"

Madam Mu said unhappily: "Let's go."

"Gone?" Mu Zhehan said angrily.

He had something important to ask Chu Peining.

The housekeeper stepped forward to explain to him, "Master, Chu Peining just injured the lady and I don't know where he went."

“What?!” Mu Zhehan looked at Madam Mu’s injured hand, and his disgust grew even stronger. “She is really becoming more and more lawless. Xinya just got into trouble because of her, and now she dares to attack you!”

Madam Mu keenly caught the highlight of this sentence, "What happened to Xinya?"

From the moment Chu Peining walked in, she looked down on him.

Her son is the eldest grandson of the Mu family and will inherit the Mu family business in the future. How can he marry a woman with no family background and no education?

Even though the old man was determined and refused to cancel the engagement, Mrs. Mu still secretly selected a suitable wife for Mu Zhehan.

The Mu family and the Meng family are both aristocratic families, and Meng Xinya is a famous talented woman in Haicheng. The two grew up together and have a foundation of affection.

The old man's health was getting worse day by day, and Madam Mu began to let them develop a relationship.

The closer the two got, the more jealous Chu Peining became, and she had been targeting Meng Xinya these days.

What trouble has she caused this time?

Mu Zhehan's face was gloomy, "Xinya was kidnapped and threatened."
