Harem Daily Life

Chapter 300 Confrontation

The Mu family's banquet was originally going to be suspended because of the war smoke, but the arrival of the Great Zhou Emperor disrupted the rhythm. The Mu couple discussed it and decided to turn the banquet into a welcome banquet for the Jiaojiao couple and finish the meal quickly because they still had to discuss things with the Great Zhou Emperor.

He Linzhang only revealed his identity in front of the Mu couple, and kept it a secret from others for the time being. So after drinking a glass of wine with everyone, Mrs. Mu stayed to entertain the guests, and Elder Mu took He Linzhang and Tao Yanyan to the study.

Tao Yanyan went straight to the point and told the Demon Lord's life story in detail. Elder Mu was stunned for a long time after hearing it.

He Linzhang was also quite surprised. After all this time, the Demon Lord and Yan Yan were not siblings?

His eyes darkened, and he heard Tao Yanyan continue: "I think the Demon Lord and the Yin family mother and daughter should have completely broken up. What to do now, it's up to the uncle to make the decision."

What this means is that the Mu family has to make the decision on whose side to stand.

Elder Mu said: "Back then, the five major families, Yin, Mu, Dong, Qi, and Qian, jointly founded the Demon Cult and supported the head of the Yin family to ascend to the position of Demon Lord. We took root on Penglai Island and achieved what we have today. In the generation of the eldest lady of the Yin family, she was the only legitimate daughter, and had no other brothers and sisters. Even the Yin family's side branches all gave birth to daughters, so they invited the son of the Mu family to marry into the family and inherit the position of Demon Lord. Now she actually has no children. To put it bluntly, the Yin family's incense has been cut off. If she still wants to occupy the position of Demon Lord, I guess other families will not allow it."

He Linzhang said calmly: "Although the current Demon Lord is not a biological child of the Yin family, his abilities should not be underestimated."

During this period of time, he and his shadow guards have collected a lot of intelligence and have become more familiar with the situation on Penglai Island. He knows that the Demon Lord is quite prestigious and capable of governing. Even if the major families want to join forces to bring him down, they may not be his match.

Moreover, no one could guess what the other families were thinking. With the strength of the Demon Lord, and the daughters of other families available for marriage, they might just hit it off and maintain the status quo, except that the Yin family would completely withdraw from the stage.

Elder Mu pondered for a moment and said, "The Yin family is probably doomed. As for the Demon Lord... I don't know what to do for now. After all, he has called me uncle for more than 20 years. This kid is quite capable. If I take the opportunity to pull him down, I really can't think of anyone who can take over and lead the Demon Cult."

After saying that, he looked at He Linzhang, getting a little excited. He Linzhang frowned and said, "I am busy with affairs and will not stay here to manage an island."

Elder Mu choked and thought to himself, "You've seen through my heart before I even mentioned it. You really know how to reject people."

His eyes moved to Tao Yanyan again, and He Linzhang snorted coldly: "She is my concubine, so naturally she will go back to the palace with me."

Elder Mu: "..."

Why did my good niece have to be the imperial concubine? How long will it take for us to meet again?

Seeing that the two of them were already discussing who would be the future Demon Lord, Tao Yanyan felt that they had strayed too far from the topic, and immediately pulled it back: "Shouldn't we go check on the situation at Penglai Palace first? I think the other families have already sent people there. The eldest lady killed my biological mother, and I will avenge her, and I will not let her go. And that old Taoist who wanted to take my heart blood for medicine, this person has ulterior motives, his identity is questionable, and he is deliberately trying to kill me, so I must catch him and torture him to find out the reason."

She glanced at He Linzhang and Qi Yizheng!

He Linzhang squeezed her hand and said, "Don't worry, Yingyi and the others have already mixed in with the Mu family's entourage and will pass on any news to us immediately. If you are worried, I will take you there once we are sure there is no danger."

Elder Mu was pleased to see the emperor speaking kindly to his niece. He smiled and said, "Your Majesty has traveled thousands of miles and risked crossing the ocean to come to Penglai Island to find Jiaojiao's whereabouts. It can be seen that Your Majesty is sincere to Jiaojiao. From now on, no matter what the Demon Cult does, my Mu family is determined to submit to the Great Zhou. If Your Majesty needs my Mu family in any way, just let us know. We will do our best to help you."

He Linzhang nodded: "Abandon the dark and join the light, and admire the elder's righteousness."

There was indeed chaos in Penglai Palace.

Before the old lady and the first lady could react, the Demon Lord captured them both. Although they put up some resistance, the Yin family was at the end of their strength and were no match for the Demon Lord.

Mu Yu didn't know what was going on. He rushed over and saw his son arresting his mother-in-law and his wife. He stepped forward and asked, "What are you doing? Why did you arrest your grandmother and mother?"

The Demon Lord looked at the man he had called "father" for more than 20 years, who had abandoned him for a woman when he was a child, and who had lived alone on a side island for the past 17 years and ignored him. He sneered, "Mother? What kind of mother is she to me? Ask her, whose son am I? Who is my biological mother?"

When Mu Yu heard this, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak. He looked at the eldest lady with an incredulous look on his face: "Qiao Ying, what does Xingchuan mean by this? Are you hiding something from me? Hmm?"

Hatred burst out from the eldest lady's eyes: "Evil creature, how on earth did you know that?"

The demon lord's eyes were filled with rage: "You finally admitted it? You are so crazy!"

Mu Yu looked at the eldest lady in disbelief: "Qiao Ying, please tell me the truth quickly, what happened? Xingchuan, why is he not our son?"

The eldest lady was speechless. What should she say? The thing she feared the most finally happened, and it happened unexpectedly.

The old lady was calmer. She glared at the Demon Lord and said, "Evil creature, even if my daughter is not your biological mother, she has raised you for twenty-three years and passed the throne of the Lord to you. How can you repay kindness with hatred? Who is gossiping that you were adopted? Our Yin family has always treated you as our own and provided you with wealth and honor. Is this how you repay us? It is said that the grace of raising is greater than the grace of giving birth. My daughter has raised you for twenty-three years. You should be filial to her!"

The Demon Lord scratched his ears, and the more he listened, the angrier he got. "Adoption? You couldn't have children, so you took my biological mother into the palace, set your eyes on the child in her belly, and when she gave birth to a boy, you killed her and kept the child. You also killed my biological father. You call this adoption? For your own selfish interests, you destroyed my family. My biological mother lived in the dark in the secret passage of the Flower Pavilion for more than 20 years, drinking dirty water and eating rat meat. You still want me to be filial to you and repay you? You two vicious women, I wish I could peel off your skin and pull out your tendons to relieve the hatred in my heart!"

The old lady and the first lady were both shocked. Could it be that the slave girl did not escape but fell into the secret passage of Huajian Pavilion?

How could there be a secret passage in this Huajian Pavilion?
