My Foolish Husband Turned Out to Have a Hidden Identity Too

Chapter 70: Chapter 70: Tragic Mandarins – Consort Ya (Part 3)

Mu Ruyue looked at the noble concubine Ji Ru Ya who was crying, unsure of what to say. She too held little regard for human life, her hands were stained with blood in her previous life, yet she understood that ill-gotten gains were not to be taken. Moreover, if no one provoked her, she naturally wouldn’t provoke others, but if someone did wrong her, she was not a kind person easily bullied.

Suddenly, Mu Ruyue scoffed coldly. Wasn’t her death in her previous life just like that? A man with no faults must bear the blame for the treasure he carries, for the sake of the Ancient Pill Book, those people had launched a relentless pursuit that lasted for months.

“Miss Mu,” Consort Ya stopped sobbing, raised her tearful eyes to look at Mu Ruyue beside her, and said, “I met my cousin recently; it turns out he also entered the palace and became the Guard Commander. I have now given up on taking revenge and just want to leave the palace with him to live peacefully in a secluded place.”

“Have you truly given up on revenge?” Mu Ruyue looked suspiciously at Ji Ru Ya. She could feel the hatred in her heart, how could she give it up so easily?

“Yes, I have given it up because I believe you, Miss Mu, will take revenge for me,” Ji Ru Ya smiled, her tears mingling with her smile in a particularly affecting way, “I have always clearly understood the nature of the Mu Family. They would never abandon a talent like you, and for Mu Qing, a talent who couldn’t be used by him and doesn’t obey his commands might as well be killed rather than allow her to come back and confront him in the future, which shows how ruthless a man he is. So, it won’t be long before Mu Qing dies by your hand.”

Undoubtedly, Ji Ru Ya was a clever woman; she had quickly grasped the situation. She had a premonition that this woman known as Mu Ruyue would never be content with staying within the small confines of Purple Moon Country.

She would step into a much broader world.

“Is that why you came to see me?” Mu Ruyue raised her eyebrows, feeling immense respect for Ji Ru Ya. If Mu Qing indeed took action, then the fate of the Mu Family would also come to an end.

“Exactly,” Ji Ru Ya’s beautiful eyes lifted slightly, fixed on the still youthful face before her, and she smiled, “My goal is just to see Mu Qing receive his retribution, to make him understand the cycle of karma, that the evil deeds he has done will eventually be visited upon him. Whether or not I personally take revenge doesn’t matter. Now, I just want to run away to Heavenly End with my cousin. Miss Mu, could you promise me one thing? If one day you become a mighty force, even surpassing the Royal Family, could you let the old Emperor release me?”

Her cousin was right, hatred had ultimately buried her true nature. Since someone from the Mu Family would sooner or later settle the score, she decided to let go of this grudge and flee to Heavenly End with him.@@novelbin@@

However, on the day Mu Qing was dealt with, she would personally watch as her enemy fell, bearing the ancestral tablets of her parents.

Looking at Ji Ru Ya’s hopeful gaze, Mu Ruyue sighed. The high and mighty noble concubine was actually just a pitiful person; it was all the twists of fate that led this woman, who should have been happy, to such a state.

“You once helped me in the Imperial Palace, so I promise you, if one day, my strength surpasses the Royal Family, I will definitely save you and your fiancé from the palace. I owe you that much.”

Ji Ru Ya’s eyes brightened, and she rose from her seat and walked up to Mu Ruyue, giving a deep bow, gratefully saying, “Miss Mu, please accept my bow first. If Ru Ya can leave the Imperial Palace, I will never forget your great kindness and grace. If you ever need help in the future, I, Ji Ru Ya, will do everything in my power to assist you.”
