Xia Muqing didn’t stop them. She smiled coldly and entered the Xia residence.

She didn’t believe that the two guards would be so bold without instructions from their masters.

No matter what, she was still the legitimate daughter of the Xia family.

Xia Muqing had just reached the courtyard when she was blocked by people who rushed out.

From the looks of it, everyone was here.

At the front stood Old Master Xia and Madam Ruan. Ever since her mother, the mistress of the Xia clan had passed away, Ruan Yu had been promoted from a concubine to a madam. However, because of the country’s unwritten rules, a concubine couldn’t be promoted to the position of mistress before the children left behind by the previous mistress were married.

Therefore, after so many years, Ruan Yu could only be addressed as Madam Ruan.

This was also the reason why she hated Xia Muqing to the core.

Beside them were Xia Churan and Xia Chuxing, who were from the same mother.

Xia Churan could only be recognized as the eldest daughter of the Xia family’s concubine because of her mother’s status, despite being the eldest daughter. She was Xia Muqing’s sister and the eldest daughter of the Xia Family’s concubine.

The eldest daughter of the Xia family was Xia Muqing.

Xia Churan had always acted as if she didn’t care about statuses or titles, and pretended to be a good sister. But Xia Muqing could detect the jealousy and hatred gleaming in Xia Churan’s eyes.

Having paint on Xia Muqing’s face all year round was her idea.

Xia Chuxing was the third daughter of the Xia family.

A group of servants followed behind them.

When Old Master Xia saw that Xia Muqing had returned, he didn’t care where his daughter had been for the past two months or if she was doing well. He immediately started berating her.

“You unfilial daughter. You’ve been fooling around with men for so many days and you still have the cheek to come back! You’ve disgraced the Xia family!”

She had disgraced the Xia family?

“Haha—”

Xia Mu sneered coldly. In the girl’s memory, this was what her father had said to her the most when she was young.

“Father, you always say that I’ve disgraced the Xia family. Since the Xia family’s reputation is already gone, what have I done?”

Old Master Xia was startled by Xia Muqing’s attitude, and he became even angrier.

This rebellious girl still dared to speak to him in such a tone. She was really rebellious.

“You have no shame in fooling around with men. You haven’t returned home for two months and you’re still so arrogant. I must teach you a lesson today.”

Master Xia was so angry that his whole body was shaking. He only managed to stabilize himself after Xia Churan helped him up.

“Father, don’t be angry. You’ll hurt your health. Since our sister came back, it means that she knows her mistake. I apologize on her behalf.”

Xia Churan rubbed Old Master Xia’s chest and immediately convicted Xia Muqing.

“Churan is still the most sensible one.” Old Master Xia felt comforted by Xia Churan’s concern. He held her hand and sighed emotionally. He turned to look at Xia Muqing again. The gentle expression on his face turned sharp and he snorted. “I don’t want to see that rebellious girl. She only makes me angry.”

Xia Muqing was no longer the young lady she used to be. She wasn’t affected by Old Master Xia’s different attitude towards her.

She wanted to laugh at the father-daughter pair’s affectionate performance.

“Father, aren’t you going to ask where I have been for the past two months?”

Old Master Xia glared at Xia Muqing angrily. “I don’t want to know where you and that wild man were.”

It was rare to see a father so anxious to label his daughter as a slut.

“Sister, I’m embarrassed to hear such things, yet you still have the cheek to say it.”

Xia Chuxing wrinkled her delicate nose in disdain, as she surveyed her with contempt.

“Chuxing, even if Muqing did something bad, you can’t say that.”

Xia Churan reprimanded Xia Chuxing and turned to look at Xia Muqing with concern.
