"Suyi, stop messing around. I am patient and sincere enough. Previously, you left the Mu family because I took a concubine. Now, you don"t want me to get Nan Xian a wife. Suyi, you truly think I would be patient with you forever?" Mu Ling frowned.

"Oh…"

"Previously, both you and Qing Yan could get along quite well. What has actually happened between both of you?" Mu Ling was slightly p.i.s.sed off.

"It"s because I was too silly and you have hidden your relations.h.i.+p with Qing Yan very well back then. Moreover, I treated her well as she is your cousin. In fact, I wish that I will never meet her again for the rest of my life. Do you truly think we were on good terms?" Suyi squinted at him coldly.

"Suyi, please give me a chance and go back together with me. I will take good care of Nan Xian. I will never hurt him again. The thing that happened back then has nothing to do with Qing Yan. I know her very well. She will never hurt anyone without a reason." Mu Ling"s face darkened. He was afraid that Suyi would run away out of anger. Hence, he softened his tone.

Suyi walked up to Mu Ling slowly, the corner of her lips curved up into a smile.

"She didn"t do that? So Nan Xian was the one who played the breath-holding game and had nearly die from it?"

Nan Xian was only four years old back then. Naturally, a four-year-old kid was not as strong as he was now. As a mother, Suyi did not take good care of him. When she knew that Mu Ling wanted to take a concubine, her heart was broken. She tried to stop him but she was not successful.

As the Mu family"s master had always treated her extremely well and his health was declining, Suyi could not bear to part with him.

When someone had nearly killed her son that she treated as her own life, she could no longer bear it and had left the Mu family together with Nan Xian.

As the saying goes, women are weak, but mothers are strong. Her son was her everything. Since the Mu family was a toxic place, she did not want her son to get hurt even the slightest bit. No matter how well the Mu family"s master treated her, no one could hurt her son. Now, everything was the same.

Her son, her daughter-in-law, and her future grandchildren would never follow her path. No one could hurt them!

"Suyi, you have wronged Qing Yan. Someone sneaked into the Mu family and wanted to hurt my son to take revenge on me back then. It has nothing to do with Qing Yan." Mu Ling"s brows furrowed tightly. 

"Oh… It doesn"t matter. I have never thought that you would avenge my son. I will avenge him on my own." Suyi raised her head. Her eyes were as cold as the moonlight.

Suyi was severely injured and her strength had declined in order to save Mu Ling back then. Otherwise, she would not have left the Mu family together with Nan Xian.

Thinking of this, her heart was filled with regret, but her face was still as calm as the cold, bright moon.

"Oh yeah…" Suyi paused for a while. 

"You don"t need to look for me. I will go back to the Mu family as soon as possible. As you are aware, the old master is severely ill. Both you and your concubine please don"t visit him. Have you forgotten why he is ill?"

Suyi thought of something and continued, "Also, you said that marriage is always arranged by parents with the help of matchmakers. However, the old master did not agree for you to take a concubine yet, you and your concubine had actually ignored him causing him to pa.s.s out from rage. Since you went against the old master, why would you think that you have the right to take charge of Nan Xian"s life?"
