Chapter 21: My Brother’s Heart Has Been Shrouded

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Mu Chenyan knew that although Yuan Tian had only recently returned, she was probably already fully aware of the events that had transpired over the past two years.

“It’s all over now! I’m sitting here and talking to you now, right?”

Her indifferent expression did not appear to hide anything, whilst her calm tone seemed to harbor no feelings of resentment. Moreover, her previously elfish and abnormally large eyes were completely still, making it seem as though Yuan Tian’s heart had truly grieved.

“Chenyan, I know that you wouldn’t have killed someone, much less done such a cruel thing!”

Yuan Tian tugged at Chenyan’s sleeve somewhat emotionally.

“You believe me but unfortunately, your brother doesn’t...”

As Mu Chenyan spoke, she used the wooden teaspoon to stir the tea leaves inside the teapot before using the strainer to filter the newly boiled beverage for Yuan Tian.

“If he believed me, then he wouldn’t have been so cruel to the Mu Family...”

When Mu Chenyan recalled Mu Feng’s cold photo on the gravestone and the destruction of her family, she quickly realized that her relationship with Yuan Xuan could not return to the way it had been before.

Yuan Xuan had taken revenge on the Mu Family without batting an eyelid. The family of four were all left either injured or dead while her older brother had gone missing without a trace, leaving her as the sole surviving member of the Mu Family. Although her current status was that of the Yuan Family’s Young Mistress, she was still wary. Did Yuan Xuan secretly intend to rip her body into a thousand pieces, shatter her bones and scatter her ashes?

Did he bind her to his side with the intention to use this mask of tenderness to hide the blunt blade that he would eventually bludgeon her to death with?

“My brother’s heart has definitely been shrouded. How is that Shu Qinger any better than you? That person has already died, but my brother is still acting strangely. How could he be so stupid as to actually believe that you’re a murderer?

You don’t have to be sad anymore now, because the judge has already ruled you innocent. Anything that anyone says is irrelevant. If you only concern yourself with being the dignified Young Mistress of the Yuan Family, then what else can my brother do to you?”

Yuan Tian was clearly furious. The previous Mu Chenyan who was so alluring, dazzling, and could even claim a family background, talents, and beauty that others could only dream for. However, for all that, she had been reduced to a lowly prisoner on her wedding day!

The backbone of a person more prideful than her would be worn down to dust after spending two years in such a ruthless place. Even more so if they were let out, only to discover that their beloved now treated them suspiciously!

“Outsiders may respect him as a business genius with extraordinary strategies, but the way I see it, he’s merely an idiot whose follows things blindly!”

In the Yuan Family, Yuan Tian was the youngest grandchild. In terms of hierarchy, she naturally ranked lower than her three older male cousins, especially her third brother Yuan Xuan!

Since she was the least pampered child in the family, even when compared to the other girl from the second family named Yuan Ran, she was always afraid of Yuan Xuan and inherently feared him.

She was truly taking great risks for her friend’s sake by criticizing Yuan Xuan the way she was right now!

Mu Chenyan lifted the corners of her mouth and barely squeezed out a smile before she said, “Don’t let your brother hear this! If he discovers that you’ve been speaking so freely behind his back, then he’ll assume that I’ve corrupted you!”

Yuan Tian sighed before approaching Mu Chenyan and replying affectionately, “It’s fortunate that you still have a chance to teach me these things. I heard of your release from prison when I’d only just recently returned, and was so emotional that I cried all night. I assumed that we sisters wouldn’t have an opportunity to meet ever again!”

Mu Chenyan felt that her soul produce the widest smile. This girl was already a little over 20 years old but still acted like a child who was dependent on her.

Soon, the twp of them began naturally chatting again.

“Tian Tian, what are you doing now?”

Mu Chenyan knew that Yuan Tian’s parents were both military surgeons as that her older brother Yuan Lun dealt with business in the field of medical instruments. Since Yuan Tian had come from a family with a strong foundation in the medical field, the third household of the Yuan Family could be considered a prominent family of medical officers!

“I’m working as a medical intern in the military hospital and I specialize in the heart, brain, and blood vessels. My dad said that I can even possibly take charge of a department in another two years!

I’ve been thinking of becoming a military doctor. After all, it would be better to venture outside into the world and face some hardships instead of being trapped at home.”

Yuan Tian seemed meek on the surface, but she was actually a rebel at heart!
