Chapter 999: The Old Master Has Recovered IV

Everyone was a little anxious and uneasy. The old master, with his decent pace, walked in from the door.

He looked severe with his cold eyes. His dignity shall be inviolable.

Although Chen Qingyan went to wash up, she came to the clan’s hall earlier than the old master. Now, after seeing the old master with a stern face, her heart suddenly trembled. She lightly pursed up her lips and looked on with pity in her eyes.

Mu Ling felt sorry for her. He embraced Chen Qingyan in his arms as if telling her that no matter what happened, he would not abandon her.

“Father, you have just recovered, walk slowly.”

A gentle and soft voice came from behind the old master.

Chen Qingyan’s heart was firmly pinched by a hand. She raised her eyes and looked at that person, and saw that Suyi was following behind the old master.

That should have been her place!

Suyi and Mu Qingyin slowly walked side by side into the clan hall.

Nan Xian held Feng Ruqing’s waist and walked along with them.

This scene stabbed Chen Qingyan’s heart deeply.

She clenched her fists firmly and her face was twisted in anger. Suyi had snatched her place, while Feng Ruqing and Nan Xian had taken Xi’er and Huan’er’s position.

They… Should be the real family!

“Is everyone here?”

The old master’s eyes seemed cold. He glanced at all the people present and with a sharp tone he said, “Since everyone is here, I will say something frank right now. I have been sick for a few years and my brain was muddled. But it does not mean that I am a fool. I know everything!”

“Master …” An uncle from the Mu family said weakly, “Are you misunderstanding something? We didn’t do anything.”

The old master Mu sneered. “Mu Fan, you look at what Chen Qingyan has done, is that still insufficient? I don’t know much about the Mu family’s affairs, but in managing and taking care of the Mu family, he is synonymous in my eyes! What makes you think you can deceive me? ”

The crowd was silent. Everyone knew that after the old master recovered, he would pick up his power and the first target would be them.

“Father…”

Mu Ling wanted to stand for Chen Qingyan and explain a few words, but when he had hardly started talking, the old master Mu glanced at him coldly.

“Shut up! Who is your father? You didn’t appreciate a good woman like Suyi and you want a woman like Chen Qingyan badly. How dare you call me father? I don’t have a son like you!”

The old master Mu was roaring with anger and his eyes looked so furious.

Chen Qingyan was silent. She bit her lower lip hard as tears swirled in her eyes and she stubbornly did not let the tears drop.

“Grandfather!” Mu Huan could not bear seeing his mother with a heartbroken look. He stood up and defended her. “You are too unfair to my mother. You can ask these people here. My mother has worked hard for the Mu family in these past few years. She has suffered and sweated for you. But in the end, you only give all the credits to Suyi? Both of them are your daughters-in-law, how can you be so biased to this extent?”

Old Master Mu looked at Mu Huan coldly. “It seems that the people of the Mu family have always addressed Chen Qingyan as Lady Qingyan and treated you like a legitimate son and daughter so much so that you have forgotten your own identities. She is just a concubine, her rank only a little higher than the servants’. Since when has a concubine become my daughter-in-law? Since when have the son and the daughter of a concubine been placed in the limelight?”

Initially, Mu Ling had thought that when his father recovered, he would be gentle with Mu Huan and Mu Xi, but he did not expect him to still be the same as before.
