The Useless Miracle Doctor Consort Is Spoiled Rotten by the Prince!

Chapter 872: Chapter 870: Mu Fei Also Has a Gentle Side

Shen Yu hid behind the curtain, not daring to move an inch, “Understood… understood.”

With each word she spoke, her entire face painfully twitched.

She didn’t even dare to let her tears fall.

While Mu Fei had not yet departed, a palace maid came to report that Shen Yu’s adoptive parents wanted to see her.

Shen Yu had no desire to see them, knowing they had come not for money, then it must be to discuss leaving the imperial palace.

Her gaze shifted to Mu Fei, a ruthless light flashing across her eyes, and she simply told Mu Fei, “Take them away and say I allowed them to leave the palace to go home, then dispose of them!”

“Oh? These are your biological parents,” Mu Fei said, his laughter tinged with mockery.

A wave of sorrow surged in Shen Yu’s heart, but it was quickly replaced by her desire for glory and riches.

Her expression was icy, “What use do I have for such parents? They will only hold me back. I am to be the princess of the Great Wei Dynasty. There’s no point in keeping them around, make sure you handle it cleanly! Consider it mutual assistance between the two of us.”

Mu Fei curled his lips, “Alright, there are plenty of ways to kill people in the ghost market. Grinding their bones to dust, turning them into ‘human pigs,’ it’s all possible.”

“Human… what exactly is a ‘human pig’?” Shen Yu was taken aback.

Mu Fei was all too happy to educate her, “It’s when you chop off someone’s limbs while they’re still alive, gouge out their eyes, cut off their ears, then slice off their tongue, and afterward, submerge them in a jar of medicinal liquor. Keep them alive, feed them a little food every day, periodically change the medicinal liquor, just like a flower in a pot, keeping them alive.”

“What… what!”

Shen Yu’s very soul trembled with fright!

How could there be such a twisted method!

Wasn’t this making life worse than death?

To care for a person like a plant, and yet… to keep it alive!

Just thinking about it made Shen Yu break out in a cold sweat.

“You can’t bear to do it?” Mu Fei leisurely enjoyed watching Shen Yu’s terrified expression, as if to him, this was some sort of amusing affair.

“No… I can’t,” she quickly shook her head in denial, “Just take them away! Do whatever you want, I… I’ll leave it to you!”

“So your biological parents are part of a deal you made with me,” Mu Fei chuckled softly.

“Yes… Yes!”

Being able to trade useless people was better than anything else.

The thought of the ‘human pig¹ Mu Fei had described often made Shen Yu feel nauseous, and she suffered from nightmares night after night.

Mu Fei took Shen Yu’s parents away, telling them he was granting them silver trading items to return to the Great Cheng Dynasty. These naive commoners simply followed him.

Once outside the imperial palace, he took them back to a dilapidated old house.

From the outside, it looked like a sealed-off official residence, very worn down.

But inside, the house had already been cleaned and arranged.

Alt Jing, dressed in a cherry blossom pink long gown, stood in the courtyard. From afar, when she saw Mu Fei return, she ran up to him with small, quick steps and cheerfully called out, “Master, you’re back!”

Her open and bright eyes seemed to scatter stars around, their glittering specks of light bringing a sense of ease to one’s heart and mind.

Mu Fei gestured to her, and Ah Jing obediently stood before him, her voice clear, “Master, you’ve been gone for several days, Alt Jing has missed you so much. The house has been cleaned, and all of your belongings have been put in place. Please, go and rest awhile!”

Mu Fei rubbed Alt Jing’s head, a rare warmth flickering in his sinister eyes, “Alt Jing is really good.”

Behind him, Shen Yu’s parents, crouching slightly, voiced their confusion, “Young Master Mu, weren’t you going to give us gold and jewels and let us go? Why have you brought us here, what is this place?”
