The Divine Physician's Overbearing Wife

Chapter 897: Hai Rong’s Plan III

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Mu Huan had always looked superior and untouchable in front of others.

She could only be like a normal student with good behavior and a clear voice while facing Hai Rong.

Hai Rong did not like living in the Mu family’s manor, so he had always lived in the inn. He would only go to the Mu family when he needed to diagnose the old master.

“Huan’er.” Hai Rong slowly turned around. He spoke softly, “The girl to whom I became indebted to back then, is she really your mother’s distant cousin? Why didn’t she return during the old master’s birthday? I heard your mother say that your father had always taken good care of her. Hence, your father appeared with her in Divine Cloud Mountain that day. If that was the case, she should have come back for the old master’s birthday!”

Mu Huan looked a little hesitant.

Why did Master suddenly ask about that woman again?

Moreover, Master had always admired Suyi. Why did he sound like he was criticizing her now?

Mu Huan had always felt that something was wrong, but she could not sense anything from Hai Rong’s tone.

He seemed to be really defending the old master.

“Well.” Mu Huan pursed her lips. “She is my aunt. As for why she didn’t come back, I don’t know. Maybe the Mu family is not that important to her. Who knows?”

Hai Rong’s heart sank a little.

He had never heard anything about Suyi from Mu Huan. Everything he knew about Suyi was from Chen Qingyan and Mu Ling’s mouths.

Therefore, he just wanted to know if Mu Huan would tell him the truth this time.

Yet, Mu Huan still let him down...

“Huan’er, I have also heard that Mu Ling once had a wife called Suyi?” Hai Rong slightly frowned. “Why have I never met her at the Mu family?”

Mu Huan started to be slightly vigilant. She became more and more anxious.

She would definitely stigmatize Suyi if it were in the past and she would have then made Master dislike the woman.

However, her anxiety did not let her say explain that fact. She said, vaguely, “I was not quite sure. I was not born yet when she left.”

Hai Rong was a little confused.

Mu Huan had never met Suyi?

Then did it mean that Mu Ling and Chen Qingyan had not only deceived him but also Mu Huan about the distant cousin? Did they fear that Mu Huan would accidentally spill it out?

Even though Hai Rong was questioning many things in his heart, he was a little cold to his apprentice—Mu Huan.

After all, Mu Huan became his apprentice through deception. He was reluctant to let her go because she had accompanied him for many years.

Nonetheless, Hai Rong still did not directly ask everything. He smiled. “I’m just a little curious because I heard Mu Ling mentioning Suyi. Huan’er, just forget it, you did not get to see her anyway. By the way, I am planning to attend the old master’s birthday feast since I’m not leaving yet. Do you know what the old master likes?”

Mu Huan’s heart was shaking.

Father once said that Suyi would return to attend the birthday feast. Therefore, she must not let her Master stay.

Her father had given her a task this time when she came to meet Hai Rong. She must persuade her master to leave Tian Shen Manor and never let him meet Suyi.

Actually, Mu Huan had always thought that Master would not abandon her even after he got to know about all these. However, many people would be attending Grandfather’s birthday feast.

That was why such a scandal must not be revealed at such times.

If other people knew about it, the Mu family’s reputation would be ruined!

“Master.” Mu Huan smiled. She held Hai Rong’s arm. “Aren’t you worried about those spirit herbs in the back hill? How can I trouble you for my grandfather’s birthday? Besides, you are very famous among people. I’m afraid that those people might come and bother you instead of congratulating my grandfather. Master, you always know that I decided to become your apprentice because I admire you. My father has never once thought of using your name to enhance the Mu family’s reputation. Furthermore, I will not allow such things to happen.”
