Chapter 2204: The Past Life 129
Looking at Mu Yi in front of him, Dongfang Yu pursed her lips and did not say a word.
Before, when the Ninth Emperor was framed, Mu Yi immediately gave up on her, and now that Mu Qingya was placed in such a situation…
Hehe, everything had changed.
He could come to the door to beg the Ninth Emperor for Mu Qingya. But why did he want to give up on her that day?
Mu Yi was still kowtowing fiercely. The blood from his forehead flowed to the ground, staining the ground red.
However, he seemed to be unaware of the pain and did not stop.
“I want to see Little Nine. Please, let me see Little Nine once.”
If he waited any longer, maybe Mu Qingya would be sentenced to death.
His daughter… How could he not save her when seeing her about to die?
There was grief in Mu Yi’s eyes, and there was a little determination in his eyes.
It seemed that if he did not see the Ninth Emperor today, he would not leave this place…
“Mu Yi…” Dongfang Yu put down her hands that were crossed before her chest and looked coldly at Mu Yi, kneeling on the ground. “Earlier, I heard everything from Tian Xuan. You can go to such an extent for Mu Qingya, but why, when my master was in danger, your first reaction was to give up on her?”
Mu Yi froze and closed his eyes as if in deep pain.
Back then, he had no other thoughts.
He only knew that if he helped Little Nine, it would inevitably cause the wrath of Prince Min, and then, even the whole emperor’s son-in-law’s family would be implicated.
If the emperor’s son-in-law’s family were involved, Qingya would also be dragged down.
So, he gave up on Little Nine before…
Mu Yi thought of the choice at the beginning. His face was even paler and seemed to be filled with grief.
He felt sorry for Little Nine.
Even if Little Nine had grievances toward him, Qingya was still young. She did not know what to do but to make such a mistake…
“Can you help me to tell Little Nine, those were all my fault, and I beg her… To forgive Qingya. Qingya is still a child. I am a father who did not teach her well, allowing her to make such a mistake.”
Dongfang Yu sneered. “Indeed. You did not teach her well. Fortunately, the Ninth Emperor left you long ago, or else I do not know what will happen to her.”
Faced with Dongfang Yu’s sneer, Mu Yi did not have any courage to retort.
His heart felt like it had been hit hard, and it stung.
It was clear that he wanted to make up for Little Nine initially, so why did it turn out this way in the end…
“I’m sorry. It’s my fault. I’m sorry…”
He, once again, knocked his head hard on the ground.
Fresh blood flowed.
He was surrounded by many people who had suddenly gathered around, all of them pointing at the courtyard.
“I heard that the one living in this courtyard is Little Nine, the daughter of the Mu family.”
“How can Little Nine be so cruel as to let her father kneel outside and kowtow to her without even coming out to see him.”
“I did hear that Mu Qingya wanted to harm Prince Min’s granddaughter just now, and it also involved Little Nine. Mu Qingya has been taken away by Prince Min. I don’t understand why Mu Yi came begging to see Little Nine…”
“No matter what, Mu Yi is her father. She shouldn’t treat her father like this.”
Even if the father had made a huge mistake, a son or daughter had no right to make the father kneel.
If Little Nine was like this, was she not afraid of being struck by lightning and never to be reincarnated?
