This woman, she really could not understand the human language..."Well, whatever, as long as you guys don"t make Father angry again. I don"t really care about anything else, ahem."
Mu Qingyin coughed twice as he seemed to look weak. Then, he turned to look at Chen Qingyan. "Lady Chen, my brother"s wife is gone, and you have been occupying her position since. When she"s back, you will have to... ahem, return her position to her, eventually..."
Chen Qingyan"s face turned pale as she clenched her fists tightly.
Why? She contributed so much, but the Mu family"s father and son would only miss Suyi and speak of Suyi"s name!
Just because her mother... had poisoned the Mu family"s lady to death, so she should be the one to be blamed?
She had just fallen in love with Mu Ling. Was it wrong... to love someone?
"Qingyan."
Mu Ling noticed Qingyan"s pale face. He wanted to say something, but he did not know what to say.
Indeed... Suyi would come back one day.
Chen Qingyan"s lips twitched and grew into a bitter smile. "I"m fine, Brother Ling. I just feel a little sad. Just leave me alone for a while, I"ll be okay later."
Mu Ling stared at Chen Qingyan"s bitter face, he eventually nodded.
Before he came back, he had already wanted to arrange for Chen Qingyan to stay at the Mu family"s second courtyard, just in case Suyi would quarrel with her again. But seeing Chen Qingyan"s sad expression now, he could not bear to inform her of that yet...

Within the Yue City.
Since the city"s master, Yue Buxiong, had listened to Tang Yu"s order and brought along all of Yue City"s people to besiege Feng Ruqing and her father, his heart had been beating hard as anxiety overcame him.
His heart felt heavy, especially when he heard that Feng Ruqing and Nalan Yan had destroyed the four kingdoms.
He had always felt that after Feng Ruqing had gotten even with the four kingdoms, he would be the next one...
"Lord Mayor, this is terrible, this is really terrible!"
A guard anxiously hurried in as his eyes were wild with terror.
"The scout we sent to Liu Yun Kingdom has reported that a few days before, Feng Ruqing has brought along a troop of people and is headed toward us overwhelmingly. By now, they should have almost reached Yue City. Lord Mayor, it does seem like she"s starting to find someone to get even with..."
It was apparent that Yue City could never run away from that; they were doomed.
Before that, Nalan Zhangqian was in trouble, so Feng Ruqing could not care much for them and had already left them in a hurry.
But now, since everything had settled down, it was time for Feng Ruqing to get even with them...
Yue Buxiong was so frightened that his legs were trembling. His eyes were filled with terror.
Another voice hurried in before he could speak. That voice was so frightening that he almost fell to the ground.
"Lord Mayor, big trouble, Feng Ruqing"s here! She has reached the city gate and is headed toward Yue City!"
Yue Buxiong trembled as he gently closed his eyes.
What was imminent would come in the end, anyway.
No matter what, he would never be able to run away from this disaster.
"A report!!!"
Another voice came from outside the door. A guard rushed in, out of breath. "A report to Lord Mayor. Feng Ruqing has gone to the Chang family."
The Chang... the Chang family?
Yue Buxiong was too shocked to say anything.
This Chang family was too insignificant to be noticed. However, back then, the Chang family"s Chang Li was married to the Tang family"s Tang Qianqian.
Although this Tang Qianqian was not one of the main members of the direct bloodline of the Tang family, she still had something to do with the Tang family. The Tang family had latched onto the Tang family"s power and reached the top.
"Could it be that she wants to kill all the Tang family members before she comes to us?
Yue Buxiong thought and figured out that this was the only plausible reason.
After all, the Chang family was too insignificant to get Feng Ruqing"s attention, but then, Feng Ruqing went to deal with them first...
