The Divine Physician’s Overbearing Wife

‘Both of them, like you, are my life.’

After all that had happened, Mu Ling still hesitated after hearing this sentence.

He closed his eyes slowly and his face was full of pain.

He recalled the past right then.

Qingyan was the one who had taken care of him when he was injured.

Qingyan was the one who had protected him with her weak body while he was in danger.

Just to keep him alive!

This woman had always regarded him as more important than herself!

“Mother!”

A heartbreaking cry made Mu Ling open his eyes.

He suddenly saw a flash of white light. Chen Qingyan was already holding a sword in her hand and was determined to end her life.

“Don’t!”

The endless pain had caused Mu Ling’s face to contort. His eyes were full of fear. He quickly hurried forward and held the sword in Qingyan’s hand firmly.

Blood flowed down from the palm of his hand. He looked sad as if not feeling any of the pain.

“Qingyan, what are you doing?”

He was furious, but he never thought that Qingyan would end her life to make up for her crimes.

These were not Qingyan’s original intentions. She had made these mistakes because she was deceived by other people.

How could he watch her die in front of him?

Qingyan was not only his woman but also his savior!

“Mother!” Mu Huan quickly ran to Chen Qingyan. She pulled her to the side and looked at Mu Ling angrily. “Father, what did Mother do? Why are you forcing her to her death?”

Suyi and these people must have said something to Father!

That was why Father had wanted to force Mother to her death!

“Huan’er, it’s enough. I have done something wrong and I should pay the price.” Chen Qingyan smiled bitterly and lowered her eyes. “Brother Ling, you don’t need to stop me. If it weren’t for my stupidity for bringing back the Thousand Vines Orchid and the Spectral Flower, the old master’s condition would not have been like this. Your strength would also not have downgraded to Lower Sky Warrior tier.”

Mu Huan’s eyes widened.

Did Mother cause Grandfather’s strength to decline? On top of that, had Father’s strength also declined?

She gritted her teeth. “Father, Mother didn’t do it on purpose. She did not know that those plants had such an effect. Hence, she is not guilty. You can improve your strength later even if your strength has declined. Do you have to kill her for such little thing? Mother has almost used death to prove her innocence. What else do you want?”

“I…” Mu Ling sobbed. A chuckle interrupted him just as he was about to explain to Mu Huan.

Feng Ruqing smiled as if she had not witnessed the sad scene just now.

Her eyes were filled with happiness.

“Suyi, have you heard this sentence before?”

Suyi looked at Feng Ruqing blankly. “What?”

“A person doesn’t really leave no matter how many times he creates chaos. If he really wanted to leave, he would have gone quietly. Only then, will he be truly gone.”

Just like Qing Zhu who had run away many times, but he would still return every single time.

If it really wanted to run away from home, it would have left silently when no one was around to see it and it would never return again.

“Similarly, if a person really wanted to commit suicide, she would find a place to end her life quietly. This is how it should be. Not like someone who is pretending to use the sword to cut her neck knowing that someone would stop her. If Chen Qingyan were really sincere, she should have looked for a place to kill herself tonight. I will believe that she is innocent when I see her body tomorrow morning.”

Chen Qingyan’s body stiffened. Her whole body turned cold as if her clothes had been taken off by Feng Ruqing. She felt utterly helpless.
