"She looks just like Yu'er! Jin'er, why aren't you greeting your father yet?" an elder with a white beard said with red eyes.
Mu Fengqie stood out in the crowd like a crane among chickens. She didn't even know how to start. The middle - aged man stood up from the main seat, his body trembling as he walked step by step towards Mu Fengqie. After a while, he finally reached her side.
"Jin'er, Father has finally found you. After all these years, have you been well?" Mu Haifeng said humbly with a tremor in his voice.
When he spoke, Mu Fengqie couldn't hold back her tears from slipping down the corners of her eyes. "Are you really my father?"
Hearing this, Mu Haifeng also shed bitter tears. Back then, this child was born and he had cherished her like a precious gem in his palm. But due to an accident, the child's life was changed, and the child's mother also lost her life.
"It's all Father's fault. I shouldn't have left you alone in the room. It's all my fault. I've made you suffer for so many years."
After saying that, Mu Haifeng tremblingly reached out his hand and placed it on Mu Fengqie's shoulder. Mu Fengqie could clearly feel how much his body was shaking.
Mu Fengqie could see the difference between the man in front of her and the Kong family. At least her biological father cared about her, and that was enough.
She finally couldn't control her emotions and burst into tears. She threw herself into Mu Haifeng's arms, greedily feeling this fatherly love that didn't originally belong to her.
After they hugged and cried for a while, they reluctantly let go. Only then did Mu Haifeng and the elders notice Jing Xunce. Although it had been many years since they last met, he recognized Jing Xunce at a glance.
He couldn't believe his eyes and looked at Jing Xunce with a skeptical look. "Are you Zhanzhi?"
Zhanzhi? Mu Fengqie was confused when she heard this. She also looked at the two of them in surprise. Could it be that Jing Xunce and her father were old acquaintances?
Jing Xunce bowed respectfully to Mu Haifeng and slowly replied, "Uncle Mu, I'm Zhanzhi. I didn't expect Qie'er to be your daughter."
This was something he never expected. When he was at the end of his rope, he had thought about coming to the Pharmacist Valley to avoid the limelight. But under that situation, if he had gone there alone and dragged so many people in the Pharmacist Valley into trouble, how could he have faced his deceased father?
Mu Fengqie's eyes widened in surprise and she asked puzzledly, "Zhanzhi? How do you know each other?"
"Zhanzhi is my baby name. My father was seriously injured in the war and happened to meet Uncle Mu, so they became good friends because of this."
Mu Fengqie never thought that such a cheesy plot that only happened in TV dramas would actually happen to her. But this was also a good thing.
Mu Haifeng also laughed. With his experience, he had long seen that the relationship between the two of them was extraordinary. "I didn't expect my Jin'er and Zhanzhi to be together. In the end, it was Zhanzhi who found you first."
Mu Fengqie blushed slightly. "It seems that we are really destined. Father, what exactly happened back then? Why was I abandoned in Mujiacun?"
She had observed for a while and found that Mu Haifeng didn't seem to be lying. But what exactly had happened back then that caused her to be left in Mujiacun?
Logically speaking, with the strength of the Pharmacist Valley, it shouldn't have been unable to protect a little baby. There was probably some major accident back then.
Hearing this, a glint of hatred flashed in Mu Haifeng's eyes. His face instantly darkened, and a cold and sinister light burst out from his black eyes.
"Your mother was originally a princess of Tianlin Kingdom and the most beautiful woman in the world. The dog emperor asked for her hand in marriage many times when he was still a prince. But your mother and I had already made a private pledge for life. At that time, you had just turned one month old. A group of people suddenly came to the Pharmacist Valley, and you were stolen during the chaos."
Here, Mu Haifeng paused. He heaved a heavy sigh and then said, "If the Pharmacist Valley hadn't had a deep foundation, it might have been wiped out that time..."
Mu Fengqie's hands were tightly clenched into fists, and her face was very ugly. She was a very smart person. She liked to pick out the important words others said to analyze, and she already had an answer in her heart.
"So this was all done by the current emperor? His purpose was to get mother?" Mu Fengqie said coldly.
Jing Xunce noticed that something was wrong with Mu Fengqie. When he looked over, he saw the cold look and strong hatred in Mu Fengqie's eyes. He had always thought she was a warm little sun, and he had never seen her show such a terrifying expression.
Mu Haifeng nodded. "Although there is no evidence, from the corpses, those people were from the military camp. The only one with such great power could be the dog emperor!"
Mu Fengqie let out a heavy snort and slowly closed her eyes. "So during that chaos, I was left in Mujiacun. Mother cried herself blind and finally lost her life... It was all the dog emperor's doing..."
She never thought that the truth of the matter would be like this. She had always been a person who hated evil as much as poison. The dog emperor was indirectly the one who killed her mother, and she would definitely avenge this!
"Qie'er, don't be too sad. I will definitely help you avenge and get justice for the princess!" Jing Xunce also clenched his fists tightly, and a strong anger emanated from his body.
This dog emperor was truly heinous. First, he had framed him with the crime of colluding with the enemy and betraying the country. Then, he had caused Master to die miserably in prison. Now, he had made his Qie'er suffer so much.
Mu Fengqie bit her lips tightly. She had never even met her biological mother. It was all the dog emperor's fault. Although she didn't have the ability now, she must become stronger and avenge her mother with her own hands.
"I will definitely kill him with my own hands!" Mu Fengqie said word by word.
Mu Haifeng sighed. "How can I let you, a girl, take risks? The dog emperor is very cautious. The people in our Pharmacist Valley have tried to avenge many times but failed. It shows how many people are protecting him."
Thinking of this, Mu Fengqie suddenly had an idea of entering the palace. She was a doctor, and her specialty was acupuncture. She could kill a person without anyone noticing.
Jing Xunce also interrupted Mu Fengqie's thoughts. "Leave the revenge to me. One day, I will bring back the dog emperor's head."
Mu Fengqie nodded, but the hatred in her heart didn't decrease at all. If it weren't for this dog emperor, she wouldn't have been separated from her father and mother, and her mother wouldn't have left the world forever.
If it weren't for this dog emperor, Jing Xunce wouldn't have to live such a cautious and miserable life, nor would he have been stigmatized.
