Chapter 956 - Mu Ling is Timid II
‘I am your father!’
He did not dare to say it out l. He feared that Nan Xian would take action.
“He was slandering me in his heart.”
Mu Ling’s face turned pale.
He was indeed skeptical that Feng Ruqing was provoking the alienation. How could this woman know what he was thinking?
Did his eyes reveal the truth just now?
He must pay more attention to his behavior in front of Feng Ruqing next time. He must not let this woman have the opportunity to offend him.
“Nan Xian.” Mu Ling ignored Feng Ruqing and continued to look at Nan Xian. “Did you believe in what she said?”
Nan Xian said calmly, “I believe in whatever she said.”
Mu Ling remained silent.
“Moreover, you did not respect her.” Nan Xian’s expression was clear and light.
Mu Ling’s face stiffened.
He was the father and also an elder. Why should she respect Feng Ruqing?
Should it not be the other way around?
When he was looking at Nan Xian this time, he finally realized the feeling of his father—the old master when he defended Qingyan in front of him.
But Feng Ruqing was a vicious person, how could she be compared to Qingyan?
Nan Xian was blinded by love to such a degree. Even his biological father was being treated like this for her sake!
“Let’s talk about this matter objectively, Nan Xian. Qingyan has put in a lot of effort to find and plant these spirit herbs for the old master’s illness. Aren’t you overdoing it a little by treating her like this?”
Somehow, Mu Ling’s last sentence was filled with grievances. He wanted to be angry but did not dare to act against Nan Xian.
Yes, he dared not!
Every human being appreciated their own lives. Mu Ling was also afraid of death. He was even more afraid to die in Nan Xian’s hands!
Though Nan Xian would be charged for killing his father, Mu Ling would be ashamed of being killed by his son!
He could not afford to lose face like that!
“Qing’er.” Mu Qingyin looked at Feng Ruqing. “It’s better to tell him everything even if he doesn’t believe it. I don’t want you to be criticized for provoking others.”
There was no provocation needed for Suyi and Qingyan, they had always been like water and fire since the beginning.
However, Mu Qingyin did not want Mu Ling to slander her to protect Chen Qingyan.
“Hehe!” Mu Ling sneered. He did not have much forbearance when he was facing Mu Qingyin. He said sarcastically, “Second Brother, you have always been in the Mu family. You must have seen how well Qingyan has treated the old master. Would you still want to tell me that Qingyan wanted to poison the old master? Let me tell you, I will never believe it!”
Mu Qing knew his answer long ago. He just looked on calmly without any emotion.
Mu Ling would die in Nan Xian and Qing’er’s hands sooner or later if he continued to be like this.
Feng Ruqing’s eyes were cold. “Did you not know that Second Uncle’s health is poor? You blame him so much. If anything happens to him, the old master will kill you before we even do anything.”
Mu Ling was speechless.
Before Feng Ruqing and Nan Xian returned, he was the eldest in the family. No one dared to disobey him apart from the old master who would occasionally vent out on him.
His status had changed since the two of them came to the Mu family.
Normally, he could reprimand Mu Qingyin whenever he wanted to. Now this woman would always jump at everything he said.
Let’s not forget, he was the young master of the Mu family. He was the one in charge now!
He would make this woman kneel on the ground and beg for mercy sooner or later!
Mu Ling felt better after whispering these to himself. She then turned to look at Feng Ruqing.
“What are you going to tell me?”
