Chapter 1249: Calamity

“Y-You’re not allowed to say nonsense.” Wei Ziqin’s tears streamed down at once as she touched Qiao Mu’s face with trembling fingers. “Qiaoqiao, you, are you still willing to call me Mom?”

“One day as my mom, a lifetime as my mom.”

This matter that had put her on tenterhooks for such a long time had finally cleared up, allowing her to see the sun again.

Qiaoqiao didn’t blame her one bit.

Wei Ziqin sobbed as she covered her mouth with her hand.

Qiao Mu embraced her shoulders and patted her back gently as she comforted, “Mom, you don’t have to care about what irrelevant people say.”

Even so, Wei Ziqin shook her head. “That person is your Seventh Uncle.”

As she spoke, she took out half of a jade pendant attached to a red string from her pocket. “This is what your birth mother left behind for you. I’m now giving it to you.”

However, Qiao Mu did not take it, and her small hand even shrunk backwards.

Wei Ziqin was stunned as tears rolled down her cheeks. “Qiaoqiao, you aren’t blaming her, are you?”

“I’m not.” Qiao Mu spat out these two words faintly with a cold expression.

“Even though I only spent two to three months together with your mom, I know that she loved you dearly.” Wei Ziqin recalled while wiping her tears. “Her body was extremely weak after just giving birth to you, yet her enemies came at this time. Hence, she entrusted you to me in order to protect you...”

“Mom.” Qiao Mu cut her off. “Then you tell me, who is my birth mother?”

Wei Ziqin suddenly clammed up. She then composed herself before saying with a shake of her head, “I took an oath in front of Miss, promising her that I wouldn’t say.”

“Before Miss lured her enemies away, she told me that your surname was Mu. But to tell the truth, because Mom and your dad were living with you in Qiaotou Village all along, we had a limited understanding of the outside world. It wasn’t until we came to the capital and heard of that talisman patrician family, the Mu Clan, that we had some faint suspicions.”

“Qiaoqiao, will you blame Mom for not telling you all along?”

With a tepid expression, Qiao Mu shook her head. “Mom, my mind is in disarray right now. I don’t want to say anything more.”

Wei Ziqin grabbed her small hands and urged, “Child, you must not blame your birth mother by all means. She didn’t want me to tell you because she hoped for you to live peacefully and not be clouded by the enmity of the secular realm. She just... didn’t wish for you to walk on a path that lived only for revenge.”

Qiao Mu nodded docilely, but her expression was apathetic. “I know, Mom.”

“No, you don’t know.” Wei Ziqin’s heart was about to shatter when she saw her apathetic expression. “You can loathe anyone in the Mu Clan. But only your mom, you cannot.”

After hearing this, Qiao Mu did not open her mouth to speak for a long time.

Seeing that Qiao Mu was fatigued, Wei Ziqin stood up while wiping her tears, saying, “You should rest first then. Mom...”

“Mom, then did you know that perhaps I had long been a target because of my birth mother.”

Wei Ziqin’s footsteps faltered as she just froze there.

“What, what do you mean?”

Qiao Mu started to understand now that those things that occurred in her previous life were truly not a peculiar coincidence.

With her special identity, it was simply that someone didn’t wish for her to return to the Divine Province’s Mu Clan.

That’s why she had already been a target ever since she was seven!

“There has been a pair of eyes observing me all this time from an unseen dark corner.” Qiao Mu analyzed coolly, “Before this, I had been at a loss as to how I had provoked the Shuntian Prefecture when I was seven years old.”
