The Empress of the Ghost King

The Mu Family Residence
The setting sun shone down to the courtyard and the leaves reflected a dim light. The twilight here is very calm, until the sound of rustling leaves by the wind can be heard.
“Your Majesty, do you think that what we are doing is right? Anyway, you're still engaged to my sister.” The young woman's cheeks turned red and raised her head in a shy blush while leaning her makeup body against the man's field chest. “If our relationship is known by sister..”
“What do you mean that useless trash?” The man frowned – which ruined his good-looking appearance, the tone of contempt implied in his speech. “When you're with me, you can't mention that disgusting woman. About the engagement, it means nothing to me, I'll cancel it later. How could a useless woman like her be my wife? Ting Er, believe me I will grant you a legitimate status. You're the only one who deserves me!”
“Yang Mulia...” Mu Ting Er was puffed up, but she retorted again with a hard heart, “Isn't this unfair to big brother? She's still my sister anyway.”
Hearing the remark, the man tightened his embrace and softly said, “Ting Er, you are too kind. It's good luck for him to have a brother like you. If he can't appreciate your good intentions, don't blame me for being rude!”
Mu Ting Er's eyes glazed over as she leaned her head against the man's chest, but at the same time her lips smirked cunningly. Plan succeeded.
Suddenly we heard a scream…
“AHH! You.. you..”.
Mu Ru Yue covered her mouth with a look of disbelief as she looked at the affair in front of her. Both were caught with a naked state. Her tears flowed uncontrollably. Right now his feelings are torn to shreds.
The man scowled and used the clothes that were there to cover their bodies. He looked at Mu Ru Yue with a look of annoyance and disdain.
“I told you to get out of my sight! Now you're bothering me and Ting Er. If it wasn't for you being your family's son, I'd have killed you right now!”
Seeing the man protecting Mu Ting Er in his arms, Mu Ru Yue could bite her lips as hard as she could, her eyes reddened and filled with tears.
The words from the man pierced his heart like a sword, making him feel such intense pain that he no longer wanted to continue living.
‘So, in his heart, I'm just an insignificant person. Then why did he treat me so gently when I was under 5 years old? If it wasn't for that, I wouldn't be interested in him, so couldn't stay away from him.’
However, after his innate talent was tested at the age of 5, he realized that all of his muscles and meridians were locked away, making him a trash who could not practice martial arts. All that softness has gone since then.
“Shut!”
That clash made Mu Ru Yue tremble. He did not know where it was wrong, he looked back at the man with hurt feelings. The man's face then turned dark.
Ye Tian Feng looked at that tearful face with disdain as he grinned, “Mu Ru Yue, what do you have to contend with Ting Er? You're not even worth the slightest comparison to him!”
“Yang Mulia...” Mu Ting Er immediately interrupted Ye Tian Feng. “Your Majesty, please stop. My fault. I shouldn't have. I shouldn't have done this. Ting Er always assumed that our love was condoned by everyone, but I forgot that big brother loves you so much. Your Majesty, please stop hurting brother. She's a good woman.”.
The tears dripping on that beautiful face made Ye Tian Feng's heart full.
Now then?!
As Mu Ting Er wanted to stop Mu Ru Yue, the middle-aged man prevented her.
The scene that happened before Mu Ru Yue's eyes deeply injured her. She could only stare hatefully at Mu Ting Er and say,”Mu Ting Er, you are only an adopted child, whereas I am the legitimate daughter of this family! I hope you are aware of your status!”
Plaque!
A moment after he said that, a fierce slap landed on his cheek.
Mu Ru Yue touched her slapped red cheek, then she startledly turned her head. He looked at the middle-aged man beside him with disbelief. “Dad, why are you..”.
“Bolder boy! Who would allow you to talk like that to Ting Er?” The middle-aged man stared coldly and acted as if in front of him was not his daughter but a lowly maid.
“Dad, I am your biological daughter!” mu Ru Yue exclaimed, her voice sobbing with emotion. With tears in her eyes she again said,”He's just a foster child. Dad why are you..”.
“My daughter?” ridicule the middle-aged man. “Having a daughter like you is the biggest humiliation of my life! Although Ting Er was an adopted child, her innate talent was admirable! She's my pride's daughter! You really think that you have the right to be juxtaposed with Crown Prince Jing [1]? Why do you think no one else came here? Let me tell you, I approve of them doing this.”
His words were like lightning during the day. Mu Ru Yue could only stare in disbelief at her family.
“Sister Ting Er, are you okay?”
Mu Yi Xue, the brother born of the same mother and father as Mu Ru Yue – walked past Mu Ru Yue as if not seeing her – directly to Mu Ting Er's side, she said, who was crying sobbing.
“Sister Ting Er, take it easy. Xue’er [2] and I will protect you. We won't let that woman snatch your husband.” Mu Yi Xue smiled gently before turning her gaze to Mu Ru Yue. With a look of disgust he said, “After all, in the Mu family, I only have Ting Er's brother as my brother. That trash has no right to be my brother. I don't understand how mom can give birth to trash like her. He doesn't even deserve to bear your name!”
“Father, Xue’er...”.
Mu Ting Er stared intently at the two of them. No one noticed the grin on his lips.
‘Mu Ru Yue, I swore a long time ago that I would take everything from you! Blame yourself, why do you have to be the young lady of this house while I am only an adopted child. The reason why I can be in my current position while you beg at my feet is because you're a piece of trash who can't practice. But you'll never know why you're a piece of trash. When you were five, before your innate talent was tested, I put poison in your food. After all, no one would believe that a four-year-old could plan such a thing.’
Mu Ru Yue's heart felt frozen. He feels like a stranger here.
Haha!
He suddenly laughed as he galloped to crash into a nearby tree.
His sudden action shocked everyone. Mu Ting Er's expression changed instantly, she did not expect that this would corner her half-brother to death. It's not very exciting right if he dies now?!
As Mu Ting Er wanted to stop Mu Ru Yue, the middle-aged man prevented her.
“If he wants to die, let him. Let's just say I've never had a daughter like her.”
