He was poisoned when he was still inside his mother’s belly. That was the reason why his body was weak since he was young.
Although he did not die from the poison, the poison was slowly and gradually damaging his body. Hence, he did not know how long more he had to live.
Grandmaster Qian Kun had the same opinion too.
If he was doing fine, he would be just like any healthy person. He would only appear weak.
If his body’s health deteriorated, he would be dead any second even if he was fine before.
That was also the reason why he did not get married.
He was afraid that he would ruin an innocent girl’s happiness.
“Young lady.” Mu Qingyin did not want to dwell on the past. He laughed. “I’ve never met you before. But, I trust my sister-in-law. Master’s birthday is around the corner. If you want to come, we will welcome you with open arms. If you’re unwilling to meet somebody, it’s fine if you don’t want to come and join us.”
Feng Ruqing recovered her senses. She smiled softly. “Don’t worry. I won’t be going.”
Mu Qingyin was shocked.
‘This young lady is indeed honest. I admire that.’
Even Mu Qingyin had started to like her.
Surely, that feeling was just what any elder would feel toward younger people. It was just admiration and there were no mixed feelings.
Mu Qingyin did not say anything more. He smiled a little and turned to leave.
‘Master’s birthday is coming soon. I wonder if my sister-in-law and Nan Xian will return to the Mu family.
‘Since that young lady came to Tian Shen Manor, they might come back soo.’

Tan Shuangshuang was upset. She never thought that Feng Ruqing would appear in Tian Shen Manor and reveal about her past.
She would surely be punished if Mu Ling heard about that even if she was pregnant.
Suddenly, a person appeared in front of her and blocked her path.
Tan Shuangshuang stopped walking. She raised her eyes and looked at the woman in front of her.
She was a beauty indeed but she appeared sickly.
Her beauty was not oppressive but it was rather a captivating sight.
Unknowingly, Tan Shuangshuang saw her past self in this woman in front of her.
“Lady Shuang.” Qin Fei’er smiled. “I saw what happened just now.”
Tan Shuangshuang’s facial expression changed all of a sudden. ‘Did she come to intentionally humiliate me?’
“Lady Shuang, do you know Young Lady Feng?” Qin Fei’er smiled softly. Her voice was gentle and soft.
Tan Shuangshuang’s face darkened. “What do you want, Lady Qin?”
“Oh, I want to know more about her.” Qin Fei’er lowered her eyes. “My younger brother seems to adore her. I’m his elder sister. I need to take good care of him.”
Tan Shuangshuang was shocked.
‘It seems that her younger brother is called Qin Chen.
‘Feng Ruqing had brought back a young man before. He was called Qin Chen too.
‘Are they the same person?
‘Otherwise, what else could explain Feng Ruqing’s presence here in Tian Shen Manor?’
“Are you talking about Feng Ruqing?” Tan Shuangshuang lowered her eyes. She smiled. “She’s the princess of Liu Yun Kingdom.”
‘Liu Yun Kingdom?’
Qin Fei’er frowned. A small kingdom of the secular world?
‘It’s rumored that Chen’er was brought back from a small kingdom by Father. He even has a twin elder sister.’
Qin Fei’er remembered how close Qin Chen and Feng Ruqing were. She was shocked. Then, she shook her head and laughed.
