Chapter 658: Suyi and Nan Xian I
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Slightly startled, Mu Ling’s eyes were full of dejection. A sense of bitterness crept onto his lips.
“Suyi... she will only be back if you move out. However, you have sacrificed too much for the Mu family. How can I let you go?”
“Sister Suyi said so? I know that she doesn’t want me to stay here. Brother Ling, don’t worry. As long as you can always come and visit me, I will move out when she comes back...” Qingyan said with a weak smile, her body stiff.
“Because...you are the only family member I have in this world.” Qingyan’s eyes were filled with pain as she held tightly onto Mu Ling’s hand.
“It would be so great if Suyi could be as thoughtful as you. I have been extremely patient and giving her too much affection. However, she never appreciates the things that I have done. She is spoiled and inconsiderate.” Mu Ling smiled bitterly, his hand on Chen Qingyan’s back stiffened.
Chen Qingyan rubbed her palm forcefully. When Mu Ling did not notice, a glimmer of wickedness flashed in her eyes.
It was true that Mu Ling was patient enough with Suyi. No matter how bratty Suyi was and how much trouble she brought, Mu Ling had never, even the slightest bit, blamed her.
As for Qingyan, she had come into Mu Ling’s life way before Suyi. If the old master did not stop Mu Ling from marrying her, Suyi could have never stepped into the Mu family. Nevertheless, Qingyan must be gentle and considerate in order to capture Mu Ling’s heart. It was such an irony of fate.
Chen Qingyan’s face was ghastly pale. She could feel a stinging sensation at her heart as if it was pricked by a needle. Her once smiling face turned gloomy. She faked a smile but her eyes were filled with desolation.
“Brother Ling, since Xian’er has fallen for someone out there, why don’t you just let him marry her?”
“I’ve tasked Han Feng to approach that lady and to offer her to be Nan Xian’s concubine but she has rejected.” Mu Ling was slightly startled.
“Perhaps, that lady knows who Xian’er actually is. Since Xian’er is so in love with her, naturally, being a concubine is not good enough for her. I know that you want to make the manor lady of Tian Shen Manor Nan Xian’s first wife. Why don’t you make that lady Nan Xian’s ceshi?” (a woman whose social status is lower than a first wife’s but higher than a concubine’s) Chen Qingyan said, smilingly.
Not only was the manor lady of Tian Shen Manor ugly, but she was also extremely domineering. If she knew that an ordinary lady would become Nan Xian’s ceshi, perhaps, she would call off the marriage with Nan Xian in a fit of anger.
Nan Xian must not marry the manor lady of Tian Shen Manor. It was not good for Qingyan’s son—Mu Xi.
“Feng Ruqing is so greedy, would she accept being a ceshi?” Mu Ling asked, after pondering for a while.
“We can tell her the pros and cons of this choice. Without the consent of the Mu family, she could never marry Xian’er. If she is smart, she would know what to choose.”
“But... Suyi likes that lady. She warned Han Feng before. If we send someone over to look for Feng Ruqing again, we are messing with Suyi.” Mu Ling sighed, dejectedly.
Suyi was still hot-tempered as she always was. Mu Ling could ignore Nan Xian’s feelings, but he could never disregard Suyi’s.
“Brother Ling, do you think Sister Suyi would harm Xian’er?” Chen Qingyan rested her head on Mu Ling’s shoulder with a faint smile on her face.
“What do you mean?” Mu Ling merely frowned.
“I’m Xian’er’s aunt but I care for him. Sister Suyi is Xian’er biological mother. Naturally, she would never harm him.” Chen Qingyan’s body seemed very fragile. She leaned heavily against Mu Ling’s body and could not seem to stand up straight.
