In fact, that was not the truth.
He had unearthed something else in his investigation. Mu Sheng, who had gone to great lengths to find her after she had walked out of his life, even mobilized the army. He was hell-bent on tracing the whereabouts of his adopted daughter.
His order was: I want to see Mu Qingcheng alive, but kill off her children. They are b*stards that must be eradicated.
The Mu family would not acknowledge illegitimate offspring.
She was trying to escape from his men when she met that fatal accident.
There was an old belief: Beautiful women did not have long lives.
As for her two children, they were lost without a trace; their bodies could not even be found at the site of the accident.
When the old man came to know of her untimely death, he was utterly heartbroken from devastation. Her death was a big blow to him, and he was sickly for the next five years. He was bedridden and often lost in a maudlin trance.
