Chapter 1153: Tian Shen Manor III
As for Mu Ling...
This brat had done so many awful things. Mu Ling would probably regret for the rest of his life if he saw the old master marrying Suyi off to someone else.
“Young Manor Master.”
The old butler came out. There seemed to be a hint of impatience in his tone. “Master has forbidden you from seeing the young lady, so you don’t have to come here every day. You might as well go back first.”
Suyi frowned slightly, but she did not even spare a glance at the door. She pulled herself together. The corners of her mouth were lifted in a shallow smile. “Old Master, let’s continue.”
“Alright.”
The old master laughed as if Mu Ling did not exist. They did not even look up from the beginning to the end.
***
Mu Ling who was just outside of the courtyard was looking through the open door. His gaze somewhat drifted away once he saw Suyi, who was sitting in front of the chessboard.
It had been for one year.
He could only stare at her through the courtyard door. She had never come out again, not even her gaze, which was no longer on him.
“Old Butler... Is she...”
“Young Manor Master, the young master and Maiden Feng are missing. Aren’t you supposed to care about Young Master Nan Xian? Why do you keep pestering the young lady every day?”
Since the old master had recovered from his illness, even the old butler was no longer polite to Mu Ling. His tone was always cold and impatient.
Mu Ling was speechless for a long while. “Please tell Suyi that I will wait for her until she forgives me.”
The old butler smiled mockingly. ”Young Manor Master, what about that woman, Chen Qingyan? If you can get rid of Chen Qingyan, maybe the old master will forgive you. Now even the old master doesn’t want to talk to you, what makes you think the young lady would forgive you?”
‘Even your own father does not care about you, let alone Lady Suyi.’
Mu Ling did not say anything more. He sent Suyi an in-depth gaze before turning around and heading back to his place.
Suyi had heard everything that had happened outside the courtyard and she seemed amused by it. Until now, she still could not understand why Mu Ling was always dreaming that she would forgive him.
She stayed in the Mu family just for the old master’s sake, nothing more than that.
***
The manor was silent.
Mu Ling had just walked out the door when he ran into a servant.
The servant bowed respectfully and said, “Young Master, the young lady is sick. Lady Shuangshuang has asked you to come over.”
Mu Ling took a step back.
He was already busy with the entanglement between Qingyan and Suyi, and now even Tan Shuangshuang was coming for him.
“No need to address her as ‘Lady’. I’ve never accepted her here.” Mu Ling laughed coldly. “By the way, tell her that if she dares to cause any trouble, I’ll cripple her first!”
A few months ago, Tan Shuangshuang had given birth to a daughter. If it had been a son, he could still take him and raise the child himself. But it was a daughter and that had made him lose interest in Tan Shuangshuang.
One daughter was enough for him. Now all he needed was an outstanding and obedient heir!
According to the adage, when Tan Shuangshuang gave birth, she would have to give her child to Qingyan to raise. But now that Suyi was the officially wedded daughter-in-law of the Mu Family, she would likely be even angrier in the future if Shuangshuang passed her child to Qingyan.
But if he gave the child to Suyi... With Suyi’s character, she probably would not raise other people’s children.
Therefore, he had not driven Tan Shuangshuang away from here. Tan Shuangshuang would raise the child on her own because he did not want the conflict between Suyi and Qingyan to become worse.
However...
