The butler pretended to wipe off his tears as he sighed.
Mu Qingyin did not say anything. When Suyi left the Mu family, he was still a teenager.
As Mu Qingyin did not have a mother since he was little, Suyi took care of him and treated him so well, just as if she was his elder sister.
Hence, when Suyi left, Mu Qingyin cried and held onto her leg to stop her from leaving together with Nan Xian.
However, he was an adult now. How could he do this again?
“Otherwise, you could bring a wife back to the Mu family. As long as the old master is happy, he might recover.”
‘Forget it, I will persuade Sister-in-Law to visit Father.’ Mu Qingyin was rendered speechless.
No matter how Mu Ling treated Suyi, the Mu family was Suyi’s home for the rest of her life. Even if she was no longer Mu Qingyin sister-in-law, she was still his elder sister. She must return so Chen Qingyan could no longer boss everyone around in the Mu family.
“I will leave Tian Shen Manor to look for Sister-in-Law. I would persuade her to come back, but it’s her own choice. I can’t force her.” Mu Qingyin smiled, wryly.
Mu Qingyin could not help but agree with the old master.
The old master walked up to Mu Qingyin, grabbed his hand and put a snowy white jade into it.
Startled, Mu Qingyin did not know why the old master had done this.
“Bring this treasure along with you. You could give it to Suyi or Nan Xian. However, you must not tell that bastard—Mu Ling. Otherwise, he will take it away and give it to that vicious lady,” the old master said, carefully.
The people in the Mu family were too mean.
“Father…” Mu Qingyin tightened his grip on the jade.
“Xiao Qingyin, the people in the Mu family are so vicious. I only trust you. I will always trust you.”
“Could you just call me Qingyin and not Xiao Qingyin? I am turning thirty,” Mu Qingyin said, stunned.
The old master disregarded Mu Qingyin’s words.
“Xiao Qingyin, you must bring Suyi back. If she refuses, you tell her that all the villains in the Mu family are bullying me. I don’t have much time left. If she does not return, they would bully me to death.”
“Father, do you want to frighten Sister-in-Law?”
“I don’t care, if you don’t do as I said, I will stop eating and drinking.” The old master snorted as he stuck his nose up in the air.
“Second Young Manor Master, it is true that the old master loses his senses. However, he knows very clearly that the Young Manor Master Mu Ling wants Young Master Nan Xian to come back as he wants Young Master Nan Xian to do something for him. Young Master Nan Xian could never helm the Mu family.” The butler subconsciously tugged at Mu Qingyin’s hand.
Hence, the old master gave the jade to Mu Qingyin in the hope that he could pass this jade to Suyi and Nan Xian.
Mu Qingyin held onto the jade, tightly. He knew that the jade a pledge from the old master.
As the Mu family was huge, there were too many people in the Mu family. Hence, the people in the Mu family would never believe in someone easily without a pledge. Just like the emperor would pass the throne to the heir together with a testamentary edict. Otherwise, no one would submit to the heir.
“Father, I understand.”
The old master might seem to have lost his senses, but he actually had a clear head.
Mu Qingyin coughed, he could feel bloody sputum stuck in his throat. However, he did not spit it out as he did not want the old master worried about him.
Mu Qingyin did not say anything before he turned to walk out of the courtyard.

Tan Shuangshuang was dumbstruck by Mu Qingyin’s words. However, she quickly regained her focus. She had a new scheme now. She did not go and look for the old master. Instead, she wanted to get some new robes for herself.
