“It seems that Mu Ling is quite a fool and terribly greedy.” Feng Ruqing furrowed her brows, unsure of how to feel.
The manor master had the loftiest power in Tian Shen Manor, but Mu Ling had actually arranged marriage with the manor master’s daughter for Nan Xian but at the same time, also selecting so many concubines for Nan Xian? He was no doubt seeking his own demise.
“Yes, he is. The old master of the Mu family was the one who had built up the entire Mu family and had established a strong footing in this realm. Later on, the Mu family had strengthened its foothold with the marriage between Lady Suyi and Mu Ling. However, the Mu family had gone downhill since Lady Suyi left the Mu family.” Luo Li pursed her lips, disdainfully.
Perhaps, the people of the Mu family did this as they were worried about losing their power. The people who have accepted the arranged marriage had accepted because of Nan Xian. As Lady Suyi was so ethereal and otherworldly, perhaps, Nan Xian would not be that inferior to her. Hence, they thought that the Mu family’s status would be even higher in the future.
“Since none of you have met Nan Xian before, do you really believe in the things that Mu Ling had said about Nan Xian?”
“We haven’t met Nan Xian before, but the manor master had. Even the manor master holds Nan Xian with such high regard, no one would doubt the things that Mu Ling had said. Moreover, Mu Ling said that Nan Xian would return to the Mu family one day. Naturally, Mu Ling would not lie about this. Otherwise, he would lose his reputation.”
The manor master, Gu Shi, had once asserted that Nan Xian would be the strongest in Tian Shen Manor. Perhaps, he would be more powerful than Tian Ya. Naturally, the ladies out there looked forward to being married to Nan Xian. They were so eager to step into the Mu family even though they would end up being concubines.
“Oh,” Feng Ruqing answered, weakly. The people in Tian Shen Manor were nothing but a bunch of fools. They had believed all of Mu Ling’s deceitful words.
The state preceptor was really something, but he belonged to Feng Ruqing.
“Oh yeah… Xiao Qing, I thought you said that the person you love only has a mother?” Luo Li stared blankly at Feng Ruqing.
“Well, to them, Mu Ling is dead! Just treat him as if he is already dead in the future.”
“Why? Although Lady Suyi had left the Mu family in a fit of despair, Mu Ling said that Nan Xian has always been filial and obedient to him.” Startled, Luo Li looked more and more confused.
“Don’t let Nan Xian hear this. Otherwise, he would tie Mu Ling to the city’s gate and whip him to show his filial piety.” Feng Ruqing sneered.
1Nan Xian had always been filial to Mu Ling? That was total nonsense! Mu Ling had upset Nan Xian, so why would Nan Xian be filial to him?
‘All of us had been fooled by Mu Ling? How dare he lie to the people of Tian Shen Manor! He truly does not fear that things might get out of his hands?’ The corner of Luo Li’s mouth twitched.
“Xiao Qing,” Luo Li pursed her lips, tightly.
“You must be careful of the people of the Qin family. Qin Fei’er is desperate to marry Nan Xian. Now that many people have called off the betrothals to Nan Xian, perhaps, she wants to be Nan Xian’s first wife.”
Previously, as Gu Yiyi was the manor master’s daughter, no one had dared to fight with Gu Yiyi. Now that the manor master had broken off the marriage with Nan Xian, the Qin family was no doubt the strongest among the rest.
Qin Fei’er would give up. Luo Li’s grandmother said that the Qin family would resort to any means and might inevitably put Feng Ruqing into trouble.
“Qingqing, Luo Li is on good terms with Qin Fei’er.” Qin Chen subconsciously held onto Feng Ruqing’s hand and glanced at Luo Li.
That was the reason why Qin Chen did not want to talk to Luo Li in the Qin family. Had it not been for the fact that Luo Li could take him out to meet Feng Ruqing, he would not have spared a glance at Luo Li.
“But… ” Luo Li’s face darkened. She was afraid that Feng Ruqing believed in Qin Chen’s words, so she explained, hastily.
“No, I am no longer on good terms with Qin Fei’er!”
