Chapter 924: Everybody Came to Congratulate Him I
Everyone believed in Chen Qingyan before that happened.
Now, they had different opinions regarding her personality since they had realized something else about her.
“Suyi.” Mu Ling patted Chen Qingyan’s back and consoled her. Soon, he turned to look at Suyi. “Suyi, it’s Qingyan who didn’t investigate into the matter and hence she has nearly accused Nan Xian wrongly. Since Nan Xian really adores Young Lady Feng, it’s fine even if he wants to marry her. But, you do know about the Mu family’s rules. She can only be a concubine given her background and birth.”
Suyi sneered sarcastically. “I’m an orphan and have n.o.body else to support me. Didn’t you marry me too back then?”
Being married to Mu Ling had only one silver lining for Suyi. She was grateful that she could have Nan Xian as her son and Feng Ruqing as her daughter-in-law.
Her heart felt much better after she thought about that.
Mu Ling frowned slightly. “Suyi, it’s not the same.”
How could Suyi be compared to Feng Ruqing when Suyi was the woman he had adored while Feng Ruqing was the woman his son adored?
He would not care about influences and power as long as he adored her.
But, the woman picked by his son must be suited to his family if he wanted to get married at all.
In short, Nan Xian’s sufferings had nothing to do with him since he was not the one who would have to endure all the pain.

“Young Lady Feng is indeed beautiful. But, being attractive is not something very significant and useful in this world. We must choose a woman whose birth and background is suited to our family.”
“Young Manor Master Mu is right. The Mu family would never allow him to marry any woman he adores.”
“Moreover, Young Master Nan Xian claimed that Young Lady Feng could cure his illness. It means that he will be better one day. Surely the Mu family will only allow Young Lady Feng to become Nan Xian’s concubine.”
“It’s a pity. Young Master Nan Xian is a filial son. He will surely listen to his parents. Nan Xian could not marry Young Lady Feng openly and honorably since Young Master Mu is the one making the decision here.”
No father would admit that their children were unfilial in front of everyone.
Mu Ling valued fame and vanity. He would never speak the truth no matter how Nan Xian had disobeyed him.
He even claimed that Nan Xian was a filial son.
Mu Ling’s facial expression darkened when he heard how the others talked about Nan Xian. He was afraid that Nan Xian would disobey him in front of everybody.
Luckily, Nan Xian still appeared calm and cold. He walked toward Mu Ling calmly without any facial expression. He was neither angry nor happy. It seemed that he had not much unnecessary emotion.
“Nan Xian!”
Boom!
A strong and powerful force hit Mu Ling’s chest without any forewarning. His body was flung away before he landed on the stage in the banquet hall.
Pin-drop silence fell upon the banquet hall.
Mu Xi was rather excited compared to the others. The others appeared shocked and surprised.
How dare Nan Xian attack his father! He would surely be ruined this time. He would no longer be a part of the Mu family!
“Hahaha!” The old master held the jade bottle in one hand and pig’s trotters in the other. Now, he threw the pig’s trotters happily and laughed hysterically. “Finally someone has beaten him up! Hahaha! That’s wonderful! Go ahead and beat this b.a.s.t.a.r.d up! Beat him!”
Suyi patted the old master’s hand. “Your table is knocked over. Let’s go down and take a seat there.”
“Good, I’m still hungry.”
The old master smiled happily and followed closely behind Suyi. He was still clutching the jade bottle in his hand tightly. He was afraid that someone might come and s.n.a.t.c.h it away.
“Brother Ling!”
Chen Qingyan was frightened out of her wits. She rushed toward Mu Ling quickly. She then helped him to get up and stared at Nan Xian with sorrowful eyes. “Nan Xian, what are you doing? He’s your father!”
