Mr. Mu looked at Mu Qingxue's appearance and sighed softly in his heart, "Qingxue, if you have something to say, please stand up, alright? Stand up and talk to your grandpa."

"No!"

Mu Qingxue looked at Mr. Mu stubbornly, crystalline tears swirling in her eyes, "No, I won't stand up unless you promise me, grandpa, to send someone to Jiangnan to rescue Tianxing. Otherwise, I will kneel here all day without getting up."

"Qingxue, why make things difficult for yourself! Even if you kneel here all day, it won't be of any use. Do you know that? We can't save him."

Before Mr. Mu could speak, Mu Qingliu already started to speak, saying softly, "Besides, Qingxue, since you came to us, you should know what situation the Lu Family is facing now. How many families want to wipe the Lu Family off the map right now? If we go to the Lu Family, we might bring trouble to the Mu Family too, and it wouldn't be impossible for us to be annihilated. How do you expect us to save him?"

Upon hearing Mu Qingliu's words, Mu Qingxue's delicate body trembled violently, a trace of despair in her eyes, tears uncontrollably sliding down her cheeks, "Grandpa, Second Grandpa, are you really going to stand by and do nothing? Don't forget he once saved your granddaughter's life, and it wasn't just once."

"Qingxue, we know this. It's not that grandpa doesn't want to help you, it's just that we are truly powerless."

Mr. Mu sighed deeply and said, "You have no idea how many forces are involved in Jiangnan this time. When Lu Tiankuang fought his way into Beijing with a single blade, do you know how many families he offended? Which of these families doesn't hate the Lu Family to the core? Not to mention those in Jiangnan who want to replace the Lu Family. We simply can't save him. Moreover, I am the Mu Family Head. You can't expect me to risk the future of the Mu Family to save him, can you? I am the head of the Mu Family. Am I allowed to be this selfish?"

Upon hearing her grandfather's words, Mu Qingxue's body trembled even more, becoming shaky, her complexion turning utterly pale, a fragility that made others inevitably worried.

Looking at Mu Qingxue's appearance, Mr. Mu sighed softly, yet he didn't know what to say; he couldn't possibly risk the future of the Mu Family. The current situation in Jiangnan is akin to a massive whirlpool; any force getting involved may be torn to shreds by this whirlpool. Although the Mu Family is indeed a prominent family in Beijing, there are many vying to take Mu Family's place. Should anything happen to the Mu Family, its demise would hardly be an accident.

How could he dare to gamble the Mu Family's future like this? If the Mu Family were destroyed, what face would he have to face his ancestors in the afterlife?

Mu Qingxue bit her red lips tightly, a glimmer of despair flashing in her eyes. Her fingers clenched tightly, and she gritted her teeth, "Grandpa, I've heard everything you and Second Grandpa have said. I'm willing to agree to marry into the Tang Family, but I have one condition."

"What condition?" Mu Qingliu's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he asked anxiously.

He was most hopeful for Mu Qingxue to marry into the Tang Family. From the fact that the Tang Family is joining forces with the Yang Family and Jiang Family to deal with the Lu Family, it's evident that the Tang Family has begun to reveal its ambitions, preparing to break taboos and emerge from Shu. If Mu Qingxue could marry Tang Qingyun from the Tang Family, with their support, the Mu Family could undoubtedly become the number one family in Beijing, and maintain prosperity for a long time.

"I want you to go to Jiangnan to rescue Lu Tianxing, helping the Lu Family overcome this crisis," Mu Qingxue took a deep breath and said heavily.

Just as Mu Qingxue's voice fell, Mu Qingliu immediately refused bluntly, "That's impossible. We are about to align by marriage with the Tang Family, and the Tang Family is also planning to take action against the Lu Family this time. If we help the Lu Family, there's no guarantee the Tang Family won't fall out with us. This condition is absolutely unacceptable."

"Second Grandpa, if you do not agree to my condition, I can assure you that when you align by marriage with the Tang Family in the future, what the Tang Family will receive will be nothing more than a corpse." Mu Qingxue bit her red lips tightly and said heavily. As long as Lu Tianxing could be safe, she would willingly abandon her love and marry a man she doesn't like, without any regrets.

Mu Qingxue knew she was foolish, yet she never regretted it. Just like she once said, at least she once deeply loved a man and gave her first to that man, and that was enough.

"You..."

Listening to Mu Qingxue's words, Mu Qingliu felt a surge of anger welling up, yet he was helpless. He knew very well that once Mu Qingxue made up her mind, nine oxen couldn't pull her back.

"Qingxue, why make things difficult for yourself again!" Mr. Mu sighed and said.

"Grandpa, this is Qingxue's own choice. I don't regret my choice."

"Sigh..."

Listening to Mu Qingxue's stubborn words, Mr. Mu stood up, walked to Mu Qingxue's side, and gently helped her up from the ground, "Alright then, grandpa agrees. This time, we'll help you save the Lu Family, but Qingxue, don't blame grandpa for being ruthless. You are a child of the Mu Family, and sometimes you are not in control of your actions. The Mu Family doesn't belong to just me alone. I have to think of others and the whole family."

Upon hearing Mr. Mu's words, Mu Qingliu's expression changed, "Big brother, if we do this, what if the Tang Family falls out with us?"

"If they fall out, they fall out. Many people would want to marry our Mu Family's granddaughter; one Tang Family is nothing." Mr. Mu looked at Mu Qingliu, a cold gleam flashing in his eyes, and said proudly, "Qingxue, I will have Qing Chuan lead the Mu Family's death soldiers to Jiangnan to help you rescue Lu Tianxing, but I can't guarantee that others from the Lu Family will live."

The Yang Family, Jiang Family, and Tang Family are joining forces, plus other families. Even the Mu Family can't withstand them.

"Thank you, grandpa."

Mu Qingxue looked at Mr. Mu with excitement; tears uncontrollably flowed from her eyes. She sacrificed her love and future to have the Mu Family rescue Lu Tianxing. This was her only way. She just hoped Lu Tianxing could be happy all his life.

Mu Qingxue was a pitiful yet lovely woman, obsessed with love, dedicating herself selflessly, willing to sacrifice everything for love.

She didn't need Lu Tianxing to love her or even remember her; she only needed him to be happy, and that was enough. Even sacrificing her happiness, she did so without any regret.

This was a pitiful woman, one who dared to love yet dared not to love.

Mr. Mu looked at the appearance of his granddaughter and sighed heavily in his heart, not knowing what to say. It was Mu Qingxue's misfortune to be part of the Mu Family. If Mu Qingxue were a woman from an ordinary family, perhaps none of this would have happened. He now hoped time could wear down Mu Qingxue's love for Lu Tianxing.

Mu Qingliu's eyes flashed with light. In the end, he chose to keep silent, fully aware that if they didn't help the Lu Family this time, even if the Mu Family successfully allied by marriage with the Tang Family, all the Tang Family would end up with was a corpse.
