Chapter 769: Chapter 769: Internal Struggle (3)_1

The result had led to Prince Ling’s complete disgust of the Marquis Residence, and her heart ached. She could only pin all her hopes on her children, but in the end, after all, she has done, what had she gained? Looking at her daughter lying lifelessly on the ground, Lady Mu was filled with hate, yet she didn’t know whom to direct it at?

Hate Prince Ling? It seemed that Prince Ling was also a victim.

Hate the Emperor? Even though she was a weak woman, she was still a citizen of Daqin. If the king wanted his servant to die, the servant must die. On what grounds could she hate the Emperor?

Hate the old madam? The old madam was extremely kind and righteous, she had not mistreated her at all over the years, proving to be a good mother-in-law.

In her confusion, Lady Mu suddenly felt desolated and that was why she had insisted that Li Jieyong must leave Feng City.

Only by leaving Feng City and steering clear from Prince Ling, could the Emperor have no excuse to let Li Jieyong keep an eye on Prince Ling’s residence. She did not want her only son to follow her tragic path.

Her eldest son, she looked at him with complex emotions, then shook her head. It was only now that she fully acknowledged that her eldest son had been utterly ruined, he was a complete waste.

"Mother won’t kill you." Lady Mu smiled as she said to Li Jiesong.

However, the overly frightened Li Jiesong completely disregarded her words, "Get away, get away, you are a demon, stay away from me, help!"

Lady Mu stared blankly at her eldest son and continued, "Your sister is a girl, too timid. Mother cannot allow her to be humiliated, nor allow her to be tormented and subsequently suffer for a long time. But you are a man, if the Prince spares your life, you must live well in the future and listen to your younger brother’s arrangements. If you lose your life, your younger brother will bury you with full honors, don’t be afraid."

"Get away, I don’t want to die." Li Jiesong yelled angrily, his eyes full of terror as he watched Lady Mu reach out to touch his face.

His hair immediately stood on end. In his tension, he opened his mouth, ready to bite Lady Mu’s hand.

Marquis Li had been attentively watching Lady Mu’s actions, seeing her reach out, he thought she was planning to harm Li Jiesong again.

To prevent Lady Mu from angering Chu Suifeng, he moved first.

Just as he reached out to stop Lady Mu, Li Jiesong took a bite.

"Ah, you cursed child, let go quickly." It was not Lady Mu who screamed in agony due to Li Jiesong’s nervousness, it was Marquis Li.

"Big brother." Li Jieyong was taken aback and kept trying to calm him down.

"You beast, let go." Marquis Li’s words caused the entire room to burst into uproarious laughter.

If a father calls his son a beast, isn’t he essentially calling himself an old beast?

When Li Jiesong realized he bit the wrong person, he wanted to let go. But for some reason, his mouth seemed to not respond to his intentions, he simply couldn’t release.

"Prince." Situ Gong bent down to ask for Chu Suifeng’s instructions.

Chu Suifeng shook his head, and Situ Gong stopped speaking.

"Aren’t you going to pry his mouth open?" Marquis Li was in pain, his forehead covered in cold sweat, he sternly rebuked Li Jieyong.

Only then did Li Jieyong come to his sense and went forward to forcefully pry open Li Jiesong’s mouth.

"I didn’t intend to bite father, I wanted to bite mother, I am afraid that she will kill me." Before Li Jieyong could reach him, Li Jiesong finally let go, sobbing and explaining while warily watching Lady Mu.

"Never mind, it’s over." Lady Mu gave a mournful smile, her oldest son was indeed too cowardly. Even now, he still clung onto illusions. Well, as his mother, she would give him one last helping hand.

"Yanran, you are always the obedient one. You didn’t waste mother’s love for you." Lady Mu sat on the ground, embracing Li Yanran, her eyes filled with motherly love.

"Madam." The old maid watched Lady Mu, tears streaming down her face.
