“Call the servants to fetch the imperial physician and tend to this brat’s head wound,” Mu Dehui suddenly instructed his wife, pointing at Mu Qingqing’s forehead.
Madam Bao and Mu Tingting immediately wore looks of displeasure. Madam Bao frowned and said, “Master, why are you bothering with this brat? She was the one who insisted on hitting her head against a pillar to end her life. Why should we call the imperial physician to treat her? Let her suffer like this, let her feel the pain. She deserves it!”
“Exactly! Mother is right, she deserves it. Leave her alone!” Mu Tingting nodded in agreement.
Mu Dehui considered this and nodded, his expression showing that he found his wife and daughter’s words reasonable.
What a bunch of inhumane beasts!
Calm down! Calm down! Anger harms the body…
Mu Qingqing took a deep breath, suppressing her rage and resisting the urge to kill them.
But she really wanted to punish Mu Tingting’s family. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck her, and she thought of a brilliant idea.
Although she couldn’t kill them now, she could empty the Duke’s mansion, turning the entire family into penniless beggars who couldn’t even afford a meal.
Thinking of them being so poor that they couldn’t even eat, comparable to beggars, felt incredibly satisfying and cathartic.
Alright, she decided. After everyone was asleep late at night, she would empty the Duke’s mansion.
After all, if she didn’t empty it, the Duke’s mansion would be confiscated by the Crown Prince’s men in a few days anyway. As the saying goes, it’s best to keep what’s yours within the family, so why let the Duke’s mansion’s vast wealth fall into the hands of others?
The ancestors of the Duke’s mansion would surely praise her for doing a good job if they saw her emptying the Duke’s mansion and preventing its vast fortune from falling into foreign hands.
Suddenly, she felt she deserved a little red flower!
Mu Dehui, his wife, and Mu Tingting were very pleased that Mu Qingqing had not argued back when they scolded her. After a few more curses, they left.
As they departed, fearing that Mu Qingqing was deceiving them and not genuinely agreeing to marry Feng Yu, and that she might escape after they left, they specifically instructed the servants to lock Mu Qingqing’s room and guard the door to watch her, ensuring she couldn’t fly away.
Mu Qingqing scoffed dismissively.
Did they think that by locking her in her room and having guards watch, she wouldn’t be able to get out?
Naive!
She possessed a special ability. Even if her door was locked with a thousand locks and thousands of soldiers guarded outside, she could easily escape.
Her earth manipulation ability was incredibly awesome…
“Hiss…” Mu Qingqing suddenly winced in pain.
A sharp, distinct pain emanated from her forehead.
Mu Qingqing immediately took a mirror from her space and examined her forehead, then frowned.
It was serious!
Her forehead was broken, half of it stained red with blood, and it was swollen. It looked quite terrifying.
Fortunately, she had the Divine Physician System. This wound could be healed immediately.
Her space contained a spirit spring, and within the spirit spring was hidden a Divine Physician System. This Divine Physician System was amazing; it could cure all illnesses and even severe injuries, as long as there was a breath left, it could save a life.
Ever since she obtained this Divine Physician System, she had become a divine physician, earning the nickname "Peerless Hua Tuo" in the apocalypse.
The Divine Physician System not only helped her treat and save people but also taught her a great deal of medical knowledge. The medical skills she had learned alone were enough for her to become a top doctor.
Mu Qingqing activated the Divine Physician System, and it immediately began to treat the wound on her forehead.
The Divine Physician System quickly finished treating her forehead wound and applied medicine, but she still felt pain. She remembered the spirit spring water in her space.
The spirit spring water in her space could strengthen the body and also relieve pain.
Mu Qingqing immediately entered her space, intending to drink the spirit spring water.
The space was incredibly vast, stretching as far as the eye could see. It contained many warehouses and a three-story Western-style house, with a spirit spring in front of it.
The warehouses were filled with supplies she had collected during the apocalypse, enough for her to live for several lifetimes. The Western-style house was her residence.
Mu Qingqing snapped her fingers, and a miraculous thing happened: a stream of spirit spring water levitated and floated towards Mu Qingqing’s mouth, feeding her.
The spirit spring water was incredibly effective. After just a few sips, the pain around her forehead disappeared.
“Gulp… gulp…” Mu Qingqing’s stomach suddenly growled.
Mu Qingqing touched her stomach and only then remembered that this body had not eaten for two days.
Her uncle’s black-hearted family often deprived her of food, making her starve.
Fortunately, she had plenty of food in her space.
Mu Qingqing quickly grabbed a self-heating pot. It was spicy beef hot pot. Once cooked, it was exceptionally delicious, and Mu Qingqing licked her lips as she ate.
After finishing the self-heating pot, with nothing else to do, she decided to go and see Feng Yu, to check on his current condition, and to see if it was as described in the novel.
Feng Yu was Feng Shun’s elder brother and the former Crown Prince’s full brother. In the novel, he was portrayed as exceptionally good-looking, talented, skilled in both literature and martial arts, and of good character, truly perfect.
The novel stated that all the women in the world wanted to marry him, even those who were already married.
After the former Crown Prince accidentally fell into the water and drowned, Feng Yu was the most likely candidate to become the new Crown Prince, and the Emperor also wanted to appoint him as Crown Prince.
However, who would have thought that on the eve of the Emperor’s bestowal of the title of heir apparent, he suddenly suffered a great calamity? The exact nature of this calamity was deliberately left vague by the author, who only stated that although he narrowly escaped death and was fortunately saved, he was severely injured and remained in a coma, barely hanging on to life. He was essentially a living dead person!
From then on, he transformed from the man most desired by women to the man most dreaded by women.
Who would want to marry a living dead person? Thus, neither Mu Tingting nor Mu Qingqing wanted to marry him, even though he had once been their shared dream lover and ideal husband.
She was willing to marry him because she had no intention of spending her life with him.
In the novel, he was barely clinging to life, and shortly after Mu Tingting’s exile, the breath that sustained him vanished, and he died.
Therefore, her plan was to marry Feng Yu, wait to become a widow, and after Feng Yu died, inherit all his wealth. How wonderful that would be.
Just as Mu Qingqing was feeling pleased, she suddenly experienced excruciating abdominal pain and frowned.
Why was her stomach suddenly hurting so much?
Mu Qingqing reached to clutch her stomach, a look of deep confusion flashing in her eyes. She immediately thought of the Divine Physician System. Just as she was about to ask the Divine Physician System to examine her, her throat suddenly felt sweet, and she spat out a mouthful of blood.
Before she could even process what was happening, she began to cough violently, spitting out a mouthful of bright red blood with each cough. Her expression grew increasingly pained, and with the sixth spurt of fresh blood, her eyes closed, and she fell to the ground. She was dead!
Mu Qingqing had suddenly died of spitting blood.
Seeing this, Huangfu Yue was stunned.
No way, she died just like that?! She had only transmigrated not long ago. She hadn’t even finished eating the self-heating pot.
Dying within the time it took to eat half a meal was simply too outrageous!
After a moment of surprise, Huangfu Yue fell into deep confusion and spoke to her space, “Space, are you there?”
She was addressing her own space spirit, not Mu Qingqing’s.
“Yes.” Huangfu Yue’s space spirit’s voice responded.
“How could this happen? Why did Mu Qingqing suddenly die?” Huangfu Yue asked urgently.
“Because she violated the laws of the novel world she inhabited,” the space replied.
“What do you mean? What laws of the novel world? This novel world has laws?” Huangfu Yue was completely bewildered.
“All worlds have laws. The laws of the novel world she inhabited stipulated that the Divine Physician System could not be used. She violated this rule, and therefore, she was punished by the laws of the novel world, causing her to die shortly after transmigrating, within the time it took to eat half a meal.”
Upon hearing the space’s answer, Huangfu Yue looked dumbfounded. “What! The laws of the novel world she inhabited stated that the Divine Physician System could not be used, and she used it, which killed her?! That’s too ridiculous!
Why couldn’t the Divine Physician System be used in this novel world? Also, if it couldn’t be used, why didn’t they tell her?”
“I don’t know.”
“…” Hearing the space’s answer, Huangfu Yue was speechless. She never expected the space to reply with “I don’t know.”
But it was unexpected that there were things the space didn’t know. She had always thought this space was so powerful and knew everything.
No! That’s not the point. The point is, how did she encounter Mu Qingqing? Mu Qingqing had transmigrated into a novel and died within it. Could it be that the world she was in was the world of the novel Mu Qingqing had read?
Huangfu Yue immediately asked the space: if the world she was in was the novel Mu Qingqing transmigrated into, how was Huangfu Yue, meaning herself, described in the novel? What was her fate?
Also, the female protagonist of the novel was Ye Feixuan. Did that mean she was just a supporting character… It was fine if she was a supporting character, as long as her fate wasn’t too bad.
