“It’s great that you are here. Go and release your venom on Chen Qingyan. However, don’t kill her. You just need to delay the healing of the wound on her back.”
‘My venom can’t do that. Moreover, you have so many spirit herbs, I am sure you already have some that could work out the way you want.’
Dumbfounded, the azure snake thought to itself. It was too afraid to say it out loud for fear that Feng Ruqing would make snake soup out of it in a fit of anger.
“The venom of a mottled snake that I know of is capable of doing this. Let me go get it now.” The azure snake rushed out of the backyard.
If only the azure snake knew that it would bump into this annoying couple, it would definitely continue wandering around out there and not come back just yet.
“Finally, it has left.”
Feng Ruqing heaved a sigh. The azure snake had always been nowhere in sight. However, it would show up whenever Feng Ruqing made a pass at Nan Xian. It was so irritating.
“Young Master.”
Just as Feng Ruqing wanted to carry on with what she was doing, a servant rushed in through the door and said respectfully, “Young Lady from the Zhuge family wants to see you.”
“It seems that Mu Ling has not heed the things that I said. Qing’er, don’t worry. I will handle these people.” Nan Xian was still calm and indifferent.
“No… no… Young Lady from the Zhuge family wants to see Young Lady Feng, not Young Master.” The servant lowered her head.
Nan Xian frowned, just as he glanced at Feng Ruqing, he could see a glimmer of light flickered in her eyes.
“The Zhuge family? Is that the prestigious family in Tian Shen Manor? Is the young lady pretty?” Feng Ruqing quickly hid the light in her eyes and asked solemnly. 2
“Young Lady Feng, a young lady from the Zhuge family was here during the old master’s birthday feast. She looks stunning.”
“Alright, that’s great…” Feng Ruqing broke into a smile. She raised her head only to see Nan Xian staring at her. Her smile faded.
“Qing’er, are they as stunning as me?” With a faint smile on his face, Nan Xian’s slender fingers pinched gently at Feng Ruqing’s chin. His eyes were still calm. Simply no one knew what Nan Xian was thinking currently.
“Young Master, the young ladies of the Ouyang family, Zheng family, and Yan family want to see Young Lady Feng.” Another servant rushed into the backyard.
Nan Xian could still keep his composure just now. However, after hearing this, his face took on a ghastly expression.
“Throw them out of the Mu family! No lady is allowed to see Qing’er in the future!”
“Nan Xian?”
“Qing’er, all the ladies in Tian Shen Manor are evil.” Nan Xian paused for a while. 2
“I thought you have not returned for years? How do you know this?”
“Xiao Qing says so.” 2
Dazed, Feng Ruqing blinked. The azure snake was truly powerful, there was nothing in this realm that it was not aware of.
However, Feng Ruqing had never doubted Nan Xian’s words. Although it was a pity that she could not meet these beautiful ladies, she simply could not do anything.
“Alright, I trust you.”
***
In the backyard.
“What did you just say? All the ladies from the prestigious families of Tian Shen Manor are here to see Feng Ruqing? On top of that, some of them are the concubines that Father had arranged for Nan Xian before this?” Thrilled, Mu Huan got up. A vicious light sparkled in her eyes.
Apparently, even a fool could tell why these ladies looked for Feng Ruqing—Feng Ruqing had seduced Nan Xian and made a great commotion.
“Let’s go. The show is about to start.” Mu Huan gritted her teeth tightly.
Even since Feng Ruqing had stepped into the Mu family, the Mu family had sunken into a mess. Now that Feng Ruqing was having a hard time. Naturally, Mu Huan must watch the whole incident unfold.
Mu Ling was initially going back to the Mu family to find Feng Ruqing to settle accounts with her. Just as he reached the Mu family, he saw Suyi and Mu Qingyin chatting happily with each other.
The smile on her face was so beautiful that it easily touched his heart just it did like twenty years ago.
But her laughter no longer belonged to him now!
Mu Ling’s heart ached. The old butler’s words appeared in his mind. He then made up his mind and walked toward Suyi.
Suyi could smell Mu Ling’s smell from far away.
The aromatherapy did hide most of the smell, but not all the smell was removed.
Suyi’s smile gradually disappeared looking at Mu Ling who was walking slowly toward her. She was indifferent and her eyes were cold. “Are you in the wrong place? This is not where you should be. You should be in Chen Qingyan’s courtyard.”
The woman’s indifferent expression was like a sharp sword that stabbed hard at Mu Ling’s heart.
He had never felt as remorseful as now before.
It was he who had pushed Suyi away and Suyi would never return to him.
“Suyi…”
His husky voice carried grief. “Tell me. Did you save me when I was badly injured? Did you?”
Mu Ling enunciated every single word as he questioned Suyi.
“Oh.”
Suyi’s tone was indifferent. “Does it matter if it was me or not? It’s none of your business. We can’t change what has happened between us no matter what. Little Qingyin, let’s go.”
Mu Ling was heartbroken.
Suyi’s gaze had always followed him in the past. However, she would not even look at him now.
“Alright.”
Mu Qingyin looked at Mu Ling and turned to follow Suyi.
If he knew that he would regret today, why did he do what he had done in the first place?
Perhaps Mu Qingyin hoped that Suyi could return to the Mu family and also hoped that she would still be his sister-in-law as before.
But all his thoughts had been put away since that incident a few days ago.
Mu Ling could not help but shout again. “Suyi!”
Suyi stopped with her back facing the man behind her. She was calm and elegant. She then said softly, “Is there anything else?”
Her decisive stance was like a thousand arrows piercing his heart.
Mu Ling did not understand what was going on and how he and Suyi had ended up like this.
“I used to think… I thought you didn’t love me as much as I thought. I thought it was just me loving you. Suyi, I knew it was all my own misunderstanding. It was my fault. Can you give me another chance?”
Suyi smiled. Her smile was sardonic. She turned her head calmly and stared at the man standing in front of her quietly.
The man looked sad.
She had never seen it before.
Mu Ling had done everything possible to get Suyi back over the years.
He was arrogant every time he faced Suyi. It seemed that it should be her pleasure that he was willing to go and beg her.
But this time, Suyi could feel the sincerity from this man.
Unfortunately…
She had decided to leave since Chen Qingyan had stepped into this house.
There should be no third person involved in a relationship between two lovers. She could not stand her man having another woman.
“Mu Ling, you said that I didn’t like you.” Suyi smiled slightly. “Then, why would I come to the Mu family? Would I have had a child for you? If I didn’t like you, why should I get pregnant and suffer for ten months? But I am very grateful to you. Without you, there would be no Nan Xian, let alone a daughter-in-law—Qing’er.”
