Chapter 936: Selfish
“Stop pretending.” Qiao Ya smiled coolly. “Qiao Mu, at least 10 days before the zombie outbreak, you had started hoarding grain! Cloth! And various daily necessities! I’m not wrong on this, right!”
Qiao Mu gazed at her coldly as she clasped her hands tightly together.
“Why did you do that?” Even so, Qiao Ya looked at her with an intensely flickering gaze.
“Due to my personal hobby, is that not fine? Even Shaoyao knows I have a hoarding habit. As a long-time neighbor, could it be that Sister Xiao Ya is unaware?” What a joke. What could hoarding items in advance indicate? It simply couldn’t be associated with the zombie outbreak.
“No, you knew that there would be a zombie outbreak that day. My mother has told me already, so don’t think of denying it.” Qiao Ya tilted her head as she pressed on step by step towards Qiao Mu with an abnormal expression. “Do you remember the two horses you gave us on the day of the zombie outbreak? Why did you do that? It’s because you knew that the zombie outbreak was going to happen on that day! Because of that, your entire family had already prepared a carriage to flee in!! Is that so? Is that so? Qiao Mu, is that so?”
Everyone present gazed at Qiao Mu in shock.
The Qiao Family servants who had been drawn over by the angry shouts were all in fear and trepidation, wishing for nothing more than to have never come to Eldest Miss’s courtyard.
Afterall, this kind of terrifying “secret” seemed to be something they should not hear.
“That’s not it!” Shaoyao barrelled over like an enraged lioness, slapping the ranting Qiao Ya to the ground. “Our miss has had a hoarding habit from young. She just likes to collect things! Is that not fine?”
If it were not for her mother’s slip of the tongue, she wouldn’t have known that it was Qiao Mu who had given them the two horses that allowed their entire family to flee the hell on earth that was Qiaotou Village.
And from what her mother said, it seemed that when Qiao Mu came to give them the horses, she had once again requested that they relocate to Xijiu City with her.
Every time her mother mentioned this, she would deplore with extreme remorse why they just didn’t listen to the little girl. If they left together with her, would it be that those things wouldn’t have occured?
“Do you know how we endured throughout these years?” Qiao Ya hollered at Qiao Mu with rancor.
“When we escaped from Qiaotou Village, I wasn’t a mystic cultivator yet. I was only 12! Our family of three were all normal people!”
“In that kind of time when we had to fight to survive! I could only sell my body continuously to make the difficult trek to the royal capital! The ridiculous thing is that your mother had the nerve to ask my mother how we had made it to the capital during these years hahahahaha!” All of a sudden, Qiao Ya leaped up from the floor and pounced at Qiao Mu to grab her arms.
Lightning reacted extremely quickly, rapidly drawing his long sword to ward off her hands.
“You selfish woman, why didn’t you tell us back then? We were from the same village! And even the same clan! Yet you treated us like this. If you had told us that such a nightmarish event would occur, and let us prepare well in advance, how would I become like this today?” Qiao Ya furiously assailed Qiao Mu nonstop, screeching, “You selfish woman killed all the villagers, it was you! You were the one who took their lives!”
“How savage are you! Is it that you’re glad and happy watching the entire village die from getting eaten by zombies?”
“Qiao Mu, I’m telling you, you owe us all of this. Even if you used everything you possess now, it still isn’t enough to repay the sin you committed!”
“Shut up!” A sullen shout suddenly came from the entrance to the courtyard.
