Mr. Yuan's Dilemma: Can't Help Falling in Love with You

Chapter 47: Would the Yuan Family Accept a Murder Suspect Like This?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The rankings from the elder to the younger members of the Yuan Family were clear to see.

Even if Yuan Xuan’s capabilities were superior, and despite the fact that the Old Mistress doted on him, he still needed to occasionally bow his head to his elders. The people who came from the Capital City observed that certain matters like the inheritance of the elder’s status would still prioritize Yuan Zhe as he was the eldest amongst the children.

If Yuan Xuan had impregnated Shu Qinger first and later taken the child back to the Yuan Family, then that child’s ranking in the hierarchy would still be higher than Mu Chenyan’s child’s, even if he was an illegitimate child...

Thus, the city was awash with rumors that she had killed Shu Qinger after being overcome with jealousy!

Mu Chenyan was not a person who fussed over rankings or money. She was only concerned with one thing: who was it that Yuan Xuan genuinely cared about?

When this child was mentioned, Mu Chenyan felt as if her heart had been violently stabbed with a knife.

Feng Rao, on the other hand, became pleased when she noticed that Mu Chenyan’s expression had changed.

She smiled at the people around her and said, “Even if you really did manage to free yourself from suspicion, what status do you hold that allows you to attend the Yuan Family’s banquet here today?”

It was evident that not everybody was aware of the fact that she had already been released from prison. Moreover, they were even less aware of the fact that Yuan Xuan had taken her back to the Yuan Family Mansion and given her the status of the Third Young Mistress of the Yuan Family!

“She’s the Third Young Mistress of the Yuan Family, of course she’s allowed to come!” Wen Ya suddenly appeared behind Mu Chenyan and said in an icy tone.

The dignified and imposing Wen ya was actually the wife of the Yuan Family’s eldest grandson. She gave off an impressive aura as she and stood behind Mu Chenyan before placing her hand on her shoulder and glaring at Feng Rao.

These two sisters-in-law really made for a beautiful sight.

Two of the four most beautiful socialites in the city had married into the Yuan Family. There was also Yuan Ran who was originally a member of the Yuan Family. In other words, there were so many beauties in the Yuan Family that outsiders would no doubt be filled with jealousy.

Feng Rao was startled by Wen Ya’s words. She took a step backward and looked at Wen Ya in disbelief before stuttering, “The Yuan Family... would accept a murder suspect like this?”

“I told you that I didn’t kill anyone. Miss Feng, since you’re so insistent that I’m guilty, the court gladly welcomes you to provide them with new evidence if you’d like!”

Mu Chenyan could endure other’s biting words, but she could not take the accusation of being a murder suspect.

However, her cool, pretty face did not carry any traces of maliciousness. On the contrary, her unwavering conviction resulted in a confident glow that seemed to subdue this venomous woman.

It was hard to believe that her sharp-tongue did not deteriorate at all despite bitterly suffering for two years in prison. Although, she did become calmer and less prone to lashing out...

The young ladies beside her were used to seeing Mu Chenyan’s elegant side. However, upon just now seeing this woman’s lonely but unyielding side, their hearts were unconsciously filled with admiration.

Wen Ya tightly grasped Mu Chenyan’s hand before the elegant woman stood beside her sister-in-law and coolly smiled.

“Miss Feng, the Old Mistress invited everyone to gather here today to provide them with a platform to interact. At the same time, she had intended to use this event to formally introduce Third Young Master’s wife who had just returned after overcoming the injustices that were committed against her. We do not have much patience for certain people who bring up domestic trivialities to fuel petty rivalries whenever they can!”

Mu Chenyan had never thought that Wen Ya would fervently back her up and even bring up the Old Mistress to support her. She cast a grateful look in Wen Ya’s direction.

“Sister Wen, I wasn’t...”

Feng Rao became slightly anxious when she heard Wen Ya mention the Old Mistress. She started stammering an explanation, “It’s just that this woman made me think of Qinger! I only questioned her because my heart wasn’t at peace...”

“Miss Feng, I’m Mu Chenyan’s attorney. If you’re dissatisfied with the court’s decision, then we can meet each other in front of the relevant authorities. I can sue you on behalf of my client for saying these defaming things here!”

A deep and commanding voice suddenly called out from behind the group of women, causing everyone to hurriedly clear a path.

The moment Wu Ze’s tall form appeared, several suppressed screams could be heard from the young ladies of the noble families. “It’s the Second Young Master of the Wu Family!”

“How handsome...”

As one of Luo Hai’s few highly eligible male bachelors, Wu Ze’s appearance quickly grabbed everyone’s attention. He easily and successfully shifted their focus toward his attractive figure.

His well-ironed upscale bespoke suit was appropriately elegant for the occasion, which he coupled with a wine-red bow tie and a champagne-colored rose that was tucked into the front of his suit pocket!
