Chapter 1155: Tian Shen Manor V

So… Even if Mu Ling did not say more, she could still see that he had loosened up.

Too bad. It was too bad…

She would have always been kind to Mu Ling if he had not been cold to her and angry with her because of those people’s words!

It was too late now…

Chen Qingyan laughed at him, but there were tears in her eyes, with bitterness.

“Qingyan?” Mu Ling raised his head in surprise and looked at Chen Qingyan with an incomprehensible gaze.

Chen Qingyan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. “I am so happy, Brother Ling. You have finally forgiven me. Now, I will never have to worry about being abandoned by you again.”

Mu Ling tightly wrapped his arms around Chen Qingyan’s waist as he looked at her apologetically.

He watched everything that Chen Qingyan had done these days, and all his anger was gone.

Besides, the punishment given to her was already enough. If they kept pushing her, he and Chen Qingyan would be separated from each other in the future.

How could he bear that…

“Pa!”

All the elders of the Mu family, except the old master, had gathered together in the Mu family’s main hall with anger in their eyes.

Mu Xingyi slammed his hand on the table and growled, “Young Manor Master, how long are you going to keep that woman, Chen Qingyan?”

Mu Ling had his hands behind his back as he coldly said, “This is my business; it’s up to me!”

“Young Manor Master, have you forgotten about the Mu family’s lost spirit herbs? It was Chen Qingyan who had stolen it and taken it somewhere else! Don’t say that she had swapped the spirit herbs with someone for the old master’s sake. The spirit herb that she brought back had almost killed the old master!”

A year ago, Xingying had always complimented Chen Qingyan. But now, he wanted to strangle her to death.

This woman had consumed all of the Mu family’s spirit herbs. Once again, the young manor master had been bewitched by this woman.

“Even if I divorce Qingyan, I will not drive her away because she is still my cousin.”

“Young Manor Master, have you forgotten that Master Nan Xian is still missing? You’ve let that wild woman Tan Shuangshuang give birth to a wild child, and now you are acting like this! Haven’t you already hurt the young lady enough?”

“Chen Qingyan once pretended to commit suicide. How can you be sure that she has repented, and all the self-punishments that she has done over the past year are all sincere? Maybe she has been acting to make you feel sympathy for her…”

“Young Manor Master, you better kick a woman like Chen Qingyan out as early as possible, she is a scourge to the Mu family!”

Mu Ling waved his sleeves and turned around with a cold expression.

“No one can question my decision! I won’t kick her out, especially… When she is in poor health, never!”

Mu Ling walked away after he finished speaking and gradually disappeared from the elders’ eyes.

He was so stubborn and proud.

Everyone dispersed moodily and all the uncles of the Mu family were so furious.

They used to love Chen Qingyan, but not anymore. They loathed her now!

***

After leaving the clan hall, Mu Ling did not go to Chen Qingyan, nor did he go to see Su Yi again. He wanted to leave the Mu family to get some air.

As he walked out, he sensed that someone was watching him. That cold, murderous gaze had made his face darkened as one corner of his mouth curled into a mocking smile.

This time, Mu Ling did not head toward the crowded area, but walked further and further away, and soon reached a plot of barren land outside the city.

He stopped once he had almost reached the barren land and said in a respectful tone, “You can come out now.”
