Chapter 542 Face
Hearing the little lion's words, Su Muyao raised an eyebrow.
She knew that the Xie family head had schemed against Xie Guixue's father back then, so was she scheming against Little Lion's father now?
So, was her marriage to the beastly man also for a purpose?
If that's the case, then this Xie family head is quite an oddball.
Su Muyao curled her lips into a cold smile and said, "Patriarch Xie, you heard what he said. It seems that this is not just a matter for your Xie family."
"Some things need to be investigated thoroughly."
"The newly promulgated laws of our Dongning Beast Kingdom should emphasize that females must not arbitrarily harm their beast husbands."
This decree was a law she revised after discussing it with her grandmother after becoming the Crown Princess, and it protected some rights of men.
Females must not be allowed to kill their male prey at will.
If the Xie family head violates this law, the Imperial City Garrison will take charge of the matter.
Now, Su Muyao speaks with an imposing aura, especially her cold and sharp eyes, which make even the Xie family head dare not look her in the eye.
In such a short time, Su Muyao has undergone such a change.
The change in status made Xie family head no longer dare to look down on Su Muyao, nor dare to underestimate her.
Even in terms of attitude, she had to be more respectful to Su Muyao.
Otherwise, the entire Xie family might be in deep trouble.
Moreover, some of the things she did could not withstand investigation and scrutiny.
She never imagined that a weak female who was exiled and despised back then could eventually rise to become the Crown Princess, and her strength would become unfathomable.
Moreover, Su Muyao now looks at her as if she were an ant looking down on her from a high place.
The way Su Muyao looks at the Xie family head now is the same way the Xie family head looked at her back then.
It makes it impossible for others to see the problem, but contempt is contempt.
To look down on someone is to look down on them.
Having experienced so much, Su Muyao now looks back at the Xie family head and feels that he is extremely selfish, with an overwhelming desire to control his son, yet he stands on a moral high ground claiming it's for his own good.
If she truly cared for Xie Guixue, that would be one thing, but in reality, after Xie Guixue fell into a coma and his father came looking for her, the Xie family head seemed to have completely abandoned Xie Guixue.
Then, she gave birth to a son.
And it seems her son hates her.
Now that she has given birth herself, she naturally understands what a normal mother's mindset is like.
The Xie family head's face twisted slightly as he said, "Miss Su, how can you believe a child's words? How could I harm my own beast husband?"
Little Lion Xie Xiaochi was afraid Su Muyao wouldn't believe him, so he looked up at her, his eyes red with anxiety. "Sister, I'm not lying, I really am not lying! My father is missing! My father was very healthy before, but after I was born, he got sick and became weak, and then he disappeared..."
Seeing that Xie Xiaochi was about to continue speaking, the Xie family head turned extremely pale. She knew she couldn't let Xiaochi continue, so she stepped forward to grab Xie Xiaochi.
Su Muyao didn't make a move, but she suddenly released her aura.
The pressure of a level 28 superpower was enough to make the Xie family head lose his balance and kneel down with a thud, unable to move at all.
The Xie family head looked terrified.
She knew that Su Muyao looked different from before, and her strength was somewhat unpredictable.
But I never imagined she would be this strong.
She has grown up so quickly in such a short time.
The Xie family head had to admit that she had misjudged him.
But this feeling of being intimidated made her feel resentful and unwilling.
How long has it been since she felt this way of being crushed?
It seems that ever since Nalan Ling made her sacrifice, her health has improved and her strength has increased. She has dealt with all the people in the Xie family who did not submit to her. After becoming the head of the family, her strength is quite strong. Moreover, as the head of the Xie family, no one dares to act presumptuously in front of her, and no one dares to disrespect her.
She does everything based solely on her mood.
Back then, manipulating Su Muyao was quite easy.
You should know that she never miscalculates people's hearts.
Because she was weak from childhood, she found the Ice and Snow Spirit Beast and used her emotions as bait to make him sacrifice himself, thus obtaining a miraculous elixir that completely cured her.
Moreover, she actually has the blood of a dark orc. The child she had with the ice and snow spirit beast has an ice and cold system that can best suppress dark energy, ensuring that her son's identity will not be discovered.
Perhaps there was love, but she didn't think she was wrong. She did everything based solely on self-interest and calculation.
Because these things actually brought her benefits.
But now she's met with a brick wall.
She was suppressed and unable to exert any of her strength.
She could only grit her teeth and say, "Miss Su, no, I should now address you as Her Highness the Crown Princess. You treat me like this based on your power and status. Aren't you afraid of chilling the hearts of everyone?"
"You should know that my Xie family has provided countless supplies and assistance to the border region."
"Or is it that Miss Su is still holding a grudge against me for not letting you be with Gui Xue back then?"
“You concealed your identity first. Our aristocratic families value marriage between equals. You were not of equal social standing at the time, yet you still wanted to be Gui Xue’s wife. That was indeed unsuitable and an attempt to climb the social ladder.”
The Xie family head pressed Su Muyao with his questions.
He even deliberately said things to humiliate and provoke Su Muyao.
Su Muyao's lips curled into a cold smile. This Xie family head has stopped pretending now.
“Although Xiaochi is your son, he is unwilling to go back with you and asked me for help, so naturally I have to protect him.”
"My reputation, whether it has disappointed the people, is none of the Xie family head's concern."
"As for my matter with Xie Guixue, that is my own business and has nothing to do with you, Patriarch Xie."
"Besides, didn't you, Patriarch Xie, give up on Xie Guixue yourself?"
"You do anything in the name of his own good, without ever asking him if he's willing or if he likes it."
"No, Patriarch Xie, you're not doing this for his own good, you're doing it for yourself."
Su Muyao is now showing Xie family head no respect whatsoever.
These words were like a slap in the face to the Xie family head, as if tearing her face to shreds.
Xie Xiaochi tightly gripped Su Muyao's sleeve, "Sister, thank you."
He was almost caught and taken back, but thanks to his sister.
No, the older sister is the older brother's wife.
My brother must have been forced by our mother to leave home.
He also heard that his brother's father, who was a beast, was also killed by his mother.
He absolutely must not go back.
Su Muyao looked at him and said, "Continue."
The Xie family head glared at Xie Xiaochi with angry and fierce eyes. "Xie Xiaochi, what do you think you're doing? You only care about your father, but I'm your mother."
"Besides, your father died of illness."
Xie Xiaochi said, "Sister, my father was poisoned. When I was just born, I heard my mother telling her men to poison my father so that he would die silently."
“I was young then, but I heard those words.”
“My dad truly loves me; he only ate those problematic foods because of me.”
Although Xie Xiaochi is young, he understands everything.
He also overheard many of the things adults were saying.
They treated him like a child, thinking he didn't understand anything, but in reality, he understood everything within a month.
He could feel that his father loved him very much, but his mother did not.
Sometimes, the way his mother looked at him was terrifying.
He didn't know why.
"You're a lion cub, so your dad's a lion too?"
Xie Xiaochi nodded and said, "Yes, my father is a lion-beastman."
