The Divine Physician’s Overbearing Wife

“Grandmaster Hai Rong, I understand now.”

Mu Ling laughed bitterly and helplessly.

Qingyan had not been at the Mu family recently. Therefore, there was no one who could take good care of the old master.

But, the old master was stubborn. He did not understand that no one else would take such good care of him in this world. She did not even lament but simply continued to obediently take care of the old master.

Although Suyi treated the old master nicely too, the problem was the old master was the first one who had treated Suyi nicely. If the case was turned around and it was Suyi…

If the old master scolded and hit Suyi, she would never have taken good care of him like she always did.

Only Qingyan behaved like that. Her love for him was too deep and strong.

She would endure all the pain for him. He could never repay her kindness in his lifetime.

“Young Manor Master!”

Suddenly, a voice was heard.

Mu Ling raised his head and he soon saw an imperial guard approaching him swiftly.

“What happened?” Mu Ling was annoyed.

‘Did Tan Shuangshuang create trouble again?’

The imperial guard trembled in fear. He was anxious. But, he still revealed what had happened in the streets to Mu Ling.

Mu Ling’s face darkened. He smashed his fist on the table. He was outraged.

“Tan Shuangshuang!”

‘That goddamn woman! I told her that her past must not be revealed. I won’t allow anyone to find out that she’s unvirtuous!’

How dare Tan Shuangshuang ignore his order!

He would surely have beaten Tan Shuangshunag to death if she was not pregnant!

“Go! Go and bring her here!”

Mu Ling was somber. He gave his order angrily.

“Yes.”

The imperial guard received his order obediently and retreated.

Another imperial guard rushed to him again when the previous imperial guard left the room. He greeted Mu Ling. “Young Manor Master.”

Mu Ling took up the jade cup beside him, annoyed. He took a sip of the tea and looked at the imperial guard who was standing in front of him. He seemed cold and distant. “Are you going to tell me that Tan Shuangshuang has created trouble again?”

“No, no…” The imperial guard replied, respectfully. “Young Manor Master, the young mistress is back.”

Mu Ling clenched his fists so tightly that he broke the teacup in his hand. He did not seem delighted at all. But, his face darkened.

“Who did you say is back?”

“It’s the young lady. Lady Qin from the Qin family has passed the message to us just now. She met the young lady just now.”

Mu Ling would surely have been delighted if Suyi had come back before this.

‘But…

‘Why is it happening now?

‘Grandmaster Hai Rong will leave in a few days. I will never allow Suyi and Grandmaster Hai Rong to meet.’

“Go and pass along my order. Ask Tan Shuangshuang to kneel down in the ancestral hall. I need to go out for some business.”

Mu Ling recovered his senses and smoothed his long sleeves. Then, he walked out of the living room in big strides.

At the pavilion in the garden.

Feng Ruqing held Suyi’s hand and sat down, slowly.

Little Qinghan’s big and bright eyes blinked. She curled up into a fetal position and rested on Feng Ruqing’s legs.

“Qing’er, it’s been a while since we last met. Why do I feel that you’re slimmer now?” Suyi held Feng Ruqing’s hands with much sadness. “Did Nan Xian not take good care of you these days? You have come to Tian Shen Manor on your own. You have not even brought along some maids to take care of you. Even if you don’t bring them along, you could bring along some spirit beasts given that there is a whole load of them in your manor.”

Feng Ruqing was bewildered. She wanted to tell Suyi that Nan Xian was not around. But, Suyi was blaming Nan Xian again before Feng Ruqing could say anything.
