Chapter 744: The Battle Between Two White Lotuses VTranslator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
With Tan Shuangshuang"s current strength, even if she had gotten something precious from Mu Ling, she was not capable of protecting it. However, if she was part of the Mu family, things would be completely different…
Naturally, Tan Shuangshuang was not short-sighted. She knew what worked best for her. She already had a plan. If Mu Ling refused to keep his promise, she would tell the world that Mu Ling had raped her. In the end, Mu Ling would be the one who suffers.
“If only I had known that I will meet Mu Ling, I would never have slept with the old coot—Liu Fuyong.” Tan Shuangshuang clenched her fists, resentfully.
All these years, she had given Liu Yuchen everything she had except her body. In the end, she had actually lost her chast.i.ty to an old coot…
If it was not because Feng Ruqing had taken Liu Yuchen"s heart away, Tan Shuangshuang would never have fallen into such a sorry state. Much less being someone else"s concubine.
Tan Shuangshuang did not know what awaited her in the Mu family. She only knew that the Mu family was her final hope—her last chance to completely turn her fate over and put Feng Ruqing under her foot.
“Feng Ruqing, even if you have taken Liu Yuchen away and won the state preceptor"s heart, they have nothing else but handsome faces. As for me, even if I am just a concubine, I am still part of the Mu family.” Tan Shuangshuang broke into scornful laughter.
Tan Shuangshuang"s family background and status were no match for Feng Ruqing. However, she was far better than Feng Ruqing in choosing the right man. She believed that even though Mu Ling did not seem to like her now, he would definitely accept her entirely one day.
Tan Shuangshuang had never expected that what awaited her, from the first day she stepped into the Mu family, was a tragedy of a lifetime.
In the Mu family of Tian Shen Manor.
“Brother Ling!”
Chen Qingyan rushed toward the door briskly and greeted Mu Ling with her smiling eyes. Her voice was extremely soft.
As soon as she saw Tan Shuangshuang behind Mu Ling, Chen Qingyan"s smile faded and her lips stiffened. At the same time, Tan Shuangshuang too was staring at Chen Qingyan.
Indeed, Tian Shen Manor was a better place than the world outside as countless stunning beauties could be seen in the Tian Shen Manor. Standing before Chen Qingyan—the lady who still had a great deal of charm despite her age, Tan Shuangshuang who was once the prettiest lady in Liu Yun Kingdom, could not help feeling inferior.
The only thing Tan Shuangshuang had that was better than Chen Qingyan was her age.
“Brother Ling… This lady is … ” Chen Qingyan forced a smile, her voice extremely soft.
“I was drugged and had simply picked a lady to satisfy my needs. However, since I have slept with her, I will be responsible for the things that I have done. Qingyan… she will be staying in the Mu family from now on,” Mu Ling said, helplessly.
Mu Ling did not tell her anything about Suyi. Simply no one knew that he had done this for his own reputation or Suyi"s.
Hearing this, Chen Qingyan"s heart was broken, dripping with blood as if hundreds of thousands of needles p.r.i.c.ked into her heart.
As Suyi had not stayed in the Mu family all these years, Chen Qingyan was Mu Ling"s one and only. She had become so possessive and would never let others share Mu Ling"s affections.
This time, Mu Ling had actually brought a lady back to the Mu family… he had even slept with her. Thinking of this, the day Mu Ling married Suyi flashed in her mind. She clenched her fists tightly, color drained from her face.
“Qingyan…” Mu Ling was panicked. He hurriedly held onto Qing Yan"s body. His eyes were sorrowful.
“If you don"t like her, I will let her stay outside of the manor. Is that alright?”
