Chapter 264 Who Doesn't Understand Love
Ten minutes ago, Meng Tianxiang quietly arrived at Lanzhi Courtyard.
She went to her granddaughter's room first, and found that Meng Yanqing was not there. She chuckled and turned around to head straight for Xue Youyou's room, hoping to stumble upon some delightful scenes.
The result was a huge disappointment—the snow-covered room was brightly lit, and the entire team was crammed inside, making it as lively as a war meeting.
What shocked her even more was seeing Mutsuki.
Despite being mentally prepared, Meng Tianxiang's heart skipped a beat when she saw the culprit who had caused her daughter's tragedy appear before her as a prisoner.
Moreover, the other party was not in the state of a prisoner as she had expected.
On the contrary, Mutsuki, like a true hostess, lazily lay on the chair with her legs crossed, chatting and laughing as if she were in charge of everything.
In that instant, Manzhu's words were like a cold thorn, piercing into Meng Tianxiang's mind—could it be true, as Manzhu said, that Xue Youyou, after being stabbed in the back by Bao Yunxing, has now stood on the opposite side of the alliance?
Once doubt arises, it grows wildly like weeds.
Meng Tianxiang quietly erected a wall of vigilance against Xue Youyou.
Fortunately, she quickly noticed a detail—her granddaughter Meng Yanqing's gaze towards Muyue still carried undisguised wariness and distance.
In that instant, Meng Tianxiang was filled with immense joy. Truly, a tiger's mother begets no dog's granddaughter. No wonder she was the granddaughter she had raised; she possessed an unimaginably keen intuition for bad people, and could distinguish good from evil from the bottom of her heart.
Meng Tianxiang did not make a hasty appearance.
She suppressed her emotions and decided to hide in the shadows and listen carefully to what was going on.
Next, Xue Youyou began to explain the information about the "Emperor's Festival" to her teammates who had gathered in the room.
Upon hearing this, Meng Tianxiang was completely dumbfounded.
She already knew from the Hero King's daughter that Xue Youyou, Muyue, and her granddaughter Meng Yanqing had been chosen by the Emperor's Sacrifice, so she was already aware of the situation.
To her utter surprise, even four weaklings like Su Wanrou, Cui Yelan, Lu Yutang, and Luo Yan were selected. A sense of absurdity washed over her, making her suddenly feel that the prestige of the Imperial Ritual had diminished considerably.
However strange it was, she couldn't completely accept it. Just as Mutsuki said, these four people were probably able to participate in the Imperial Festival because of Yuki Yuuyu's influence.
And so, Meng Tianxiang watched the whole thing unfold from the sidelines.
It seems that due to the sudden arrival of the Imperial Festival, a strange relationship of sharing information and temporary cooperation has developed between Yuki Yuyu and Mutsuki.
She tolerated it.
After all, Tingxue Youyou meant that the Red Moon Mark on their bodies was continuously draining their life force. If the mark could not be removed, everyone would only be able to live for another month at most.
In a life-or-death situation, putting aside past loves and hates and joining hands to solve the current predicament is not a wrong choice.
Meng Tianxiang was not someone who would be completely blinded by hatred.
No matter what, her daughter has already sacrificed herself, while her granddaughter is still alive.
The living are always greater than the dead.
If the information Mutsuki shared could help Meng Yanqing during the Imperial Festival and increase her granddaughter's chances of survival, what harm was there in her holding back for now?
She never intended to pass on the hatred of the previous generation to the next; she was willing to bear this pain alone.
However, there was one thing she couldn't tolerate.
After the meeting, that brat Xue Youyou actually let her precious granddaughter go back to her room to spend the quiet night alone, but left Muyue to stay overnight.
Can this be tolerated?
This is absolutely intolerable!
Therefore, when everyone dispersed and Xue Youyou revealed her clever hiding place, Meng Tianxiang was amazed by Xue Youyou's growth speed—no wonder she was the beast tamer who defeated Muyue. After only three days apart, her strength had far surpassed that of the past, and she could even see through Xue Youyou's Void Stealth Technique, which had not been detected by anyone for almost a hundred years.
But Xue Youyou's initiative in pointing it out at this moment was exactly what she wanted.
Enraged, Meng Tianxiang leaped out of the void, her eyebrows furrowed, and pointed at Mu Yue. She then sternly berated Xue Youyou without any mercy, "You actually want to sleep with this woman?!"
"Do you know that her child is already as old as you, and that her lover is none other than Marquis Jiuyou, Manzhu!"
Xue Youyou was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then turned to look at Muyue with some surprise: "You're actually Manluo's...."
Halfway through her sentence, she suddenly realized something and muttered, "No wonder you told me before the match between Moonlight Inner Court and Ghost Inner Court that fighting Manro was like a mother fighting her daughter. Now I understand."
She then smiled, her tone teasing: "So, how come the Marquis of Jiuyou, with such a slender and mature figure, gave birth to a little girl? Turns out she inherited your inferior genes."
"Hey...hey...where is it of poor quality? If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense..."
Mutsuki rolled her eyes at Yuki without saying a word.
Mutsuki showed no surprise whatsoever at Meng Tianxiang's sudden appearance.
Clearly, she, like Xue Youyou, had long noticed the old woman hiding in the void, but she didn't point it out.
Now that Xue Youyou had brought up Meng Tianxiang, and the other party's criticism was directly aimed at her, Muyue simply shook her head and chuckled, responding calmly as if talking to herself: "Lover, well, I wouldn't really call them lovers. My relationship with Manzhu, whether for her or for me, is probably more accurately described as 'secret lovers'."
Upon hearing this, Xue Youyou's curiosity only intensified: "Why would you say that? You already have a child. Even if you haven't held a wedding yet due to your identities, as long as you have love for each other, you can still be called lovers, right?"
Mutsuki pursed her lips, her tone carrying a hint of seasoned wisdom: "What do you know, you little brat?"
Xue Youyou raised an eyebrow: "How come I don't understand?"
She retains the memories of being a man in her previous life, and now she is a woman, so she understands both men and women.
When it comes to understanding the word "love," perhaps no one in the world understands it better than her.
To say she doesn't understand love is as ridiculous as saying she doesn't understand beast taming.
