Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the courtyard of the Mu family.
Just as Mu Ling entered the courtyard, he heard the sound of something crashing from the front.
He frowned slightly and could not help but quicken his pace and hurried to the lobby.
Though he was far away from the lobby, he could already hear an old fellow cursing someone and a female servant was sobbing too.
Just as he reached the lobby, he saw the old fellow smashing the cup in his hand on a woman’s body.
The girl kept her head down without saying any word and took that old fellow’s rage silently.
That was what Mu Ling just as he entered the door.
His heart ached as he felt like his heart was being p.r.i.c.ked by needles,
Just as the old fellow wanted to smash the cup again, Mu Ling rushed forward and caught the cup that almost fell onto the woman’s body. His eyes were burning with rage. “Father, what are you doing?”
“I want this bad woman to get out of my Mu family!”
The old fellow was so angry that he took another porcelain cup and smashed it again.
Mu Ling did not catch the cup nor evade this time but allow the cup to be smashed on his head. Fresh blood ran down from his head. He grew colder.
“Father, have you had enough?” He clenched his fists tightly. “All these years, you torture Qingyan every time you get sick, and has she ever grumbled? She has been putting up with you for a long time, and is it not enough to make up for your resentment? Also, it was Qingyan’s mother’s fault, she’s innocent!”
He could not understand, he really could not understand.
Why did everyone want to blame Qingyan?
“Brother Ling,” Chen Qingyan panicked and tugged at Mu Ling’s sleeves. She seemed very pitiful as her eyes were filled with tears. “Father is not in good condition recently, I think it’s better if you talk less. Besides, it’s not a big deal if he smashes some cups on me a few times. Brother Ling should be more tolerant of our old father, that is better.”
Mu Ling knew that his old father’s condition was getting worse too. He would hit someone when he got sick, but when he was sober… he did not even have the strength to hit a person.
Therefore, all he could do was to put up with him while facing him.
“Get lost, everybody, get lost. I don’t want to see anyone!”
The old father got so enraged and kicked the table, flipping it over.
He turned his head and looked at the old butler who was quietly standing beside. “I’m hungry, I want to drink the turkey soup prepared by Suyi. Why has Suyi left for so long, and hasn’t prepared my turkey soup for me?”
The old butler’s lips twitched and he sighed. “Master, have you forgotten again? The young lady has already left our Mu family and hasn’t returned yet.”
“Where has she gone?” The old father did not lose his temper but simply frowned. As he turned to look at Mu Ling, his eyes were filled with rage. “Your wife has left, why didn’t you accompany her? Who has allowed you to stay with this woman? Bring my daughter-in-law back to me, I want to drink turkey soup.”
Chen Qingyan looked stunned as she clenched her small fist tightly. Even her breaths were filled with immense grief.
It was obvious that… she had been by the old man’s side for so many years. However, the daughter-in-law that the old man acknowledged would forever be only Suyi!
Suyi only came into their lives later. How could she occupy the status that originally belonged to her? Even when Suyi was gone, Suyi did not return the position back to her.
“Father.” Mu Ling’s expressions were unreadable. “I have not been with Suyi, but I have already found her. She will return soon.”
“Really?” The old man was so happy as his face blossomed into a smile, just like an excited kid. “Suyi is coming back, this wicked woman can finally go away. You must treat Suyi well. Back then, just to save you, her strength was…”
