Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife

There was already a vile girl staying in the Shen family’s mansion. So, naturally, their mood was not very good when another came.

But Grandpa Shen was very energetic and all geared up for the day. He even wore the suit that had not been worn for a long time. It showed how much he cared about the sisters.

Mu Tangxue also wore her best dress. When she was standing beside Third Aunt, the two kept whispering to each other. It seemed that their relationship improved quite a lot in a short time.

“Do you and your sister look alike?”

Thinking about Mu Qiqi, Mu Tangxue chuckled and said, “More or less. But she has a mole on her nose.”

“But your personalities differ a lot, I suppose.”

“Sister is stronger. So, she likes to bully people.”

Third Aunt smiled and nodded. “She even dissed the Shen family. She should be considered proud and arrogant.”

“She is proud because she has a rich boyfriend.”

Third Aunt covered her mouth in disbelief. She pointed at Grandpa Shen with her chin and asked, “Does Father know about this?”

“Grandpa doesn’t know.”

“Huh, having a boyfriend at such a young age.”

Mu Tangxue had been badmouthing Mu Qiqi in front of Third Aunt for days. She intended to tarnish her image. To make it even worse, she created her version of the story to suit her needs. Then, when Third Aunt knew it, Third Uncle would know it too. When he knew it, it would mean that the whole family knew about it. She wanted to make everyone hold prejudice and bad perception about Mu Qiqi before she came.

Soon, the guards alerted the Shen family of Mu Qiqi’s arrival at the gate. Jing Yun led Mu Qiqi into the courtyard of the mansion and they stood there waiting.

“Let’s go and take a look,” said Grandpa Shen.

“She is just a young girl. Why should the elders go and welcome her?” Second Aunt was very unhappy about it. “Father, you should have a limit when you love someone.”

“It is Qiqi’s first time here. You are her elder. Shouldn’t you show a bit of tolerance and encouragement?”

The other Shens did not say anything. They followed behind Grandpa Shen to the gate of the courtyard, including Mu Tangxue and Third Aunt.

Then, a pretty young girl wearing a black dress got out of the car. Her movements were graceful.

Nobody needed to be told about who she was because she looked very much like Mu Tangxue. Although they had the same face, the Shens did not expect Mu Qiqi and Mu Tangxue would give them such different feelings.

Mu Tangxue was also a lady from a rich family. But she was tacky in the way she handle matters, unlike Mu Qiqi. She looked as if she was born a noble. She was calm and cool, just like the other ladies from the other families in the high society.

After seeing Mu Qiqi, they took a look at Mu Tangxue again. They were so different.

And Grandpa Shen was very satisfied with what he saw.

“Old Shen, I sent her here safe and sound.” Since Jing Yun was the one who accompanied Mu Qiqi to the mansion of the Shen family, he walked to Grandpa Shen and bowed to him first.

“Thanks for your hard work, Jing Yun. And thank your young master for me,” said Grandpa Shen happily. Then, he looked at Mu Qiqi and said, “Child, come here. Come to Grandpa.”

Mu Qiqi smiled and walked to the front of the Shens. Then, she bowed to them and said, “Sorry to bother you.”

“Child, this is your home. You do not have to be so polite.”

“Grandpa Shen, although I am the flesh and blood of the Shen family, I have not lived with you all for all these years. Now that my appearance has disrupted the peace in this family, of course I have to express my apologies,” said Mu Qiqi sincerely.

The Shens looked at each other. Now seeing Mu Qiqi with courtesy and poise, they knew she was much better than Mu Tangxue. So, they decided not to believe in what she had told them about Mu Qiqi before.

And their faces were not that stern anymore.

“Alright, let’s go inside.” Grandpa Shen purposely pulled Mu Qiqi to his side. “So, you have started your studies, right?”

“Yes, I will be going camping next week,” replied Mu Qiqi. “That is why I come here to see you and the uncles.”

“You are so sweet.”

Grandpa Shen was highly satisfied with the outcome of Sheng Xiao’s training. He still remembered the last time he had seen Mu Qiqi, where she was stiff and awkward. But now, when it came to a big occasion, she could manage it very well.

After listening to what Mu Qiqi said, the unpleasant feelings the Shens had slowly evaporated. They were glad to see that Mu Qiqi was a sensible girl.

When everyone was seated in the living room, Grandpa Shen wanted to start introducing the family members. “This is your…”

“Second Uncle.” Mu Qiqi greeted even before Grandpa Shen told her who the man was.

“You know him?”

“Jing Yun told me Second Uncle is a slim but energetic man. Because he does everything by himself, so he is always very tired.”

“Third Uncle is tall and strong. Aunt Xiao looks very much like Grandpa. Second Aunt is a straightforward person. Third Aunt looks clumsy but she is actually very attentive. Perhaps, you are the ones.”

“Uncles and Aunts, it’s very nice to meet you. I’m Qiqi.” Mu Qiqi greeted the elders and introduced herself.

“This child is really… nice.” Second Aunt’s unintended utterances had showed her true feelings, although she hated Mu Qiqi’s existence.

Second Uncle nudged Second Aunt with his elbow. “Take a firm stand. Do you want to betray Eldest Sister?”

Mu Qiqi heard him and smiled. Then, she took the chance to say her thoughts. “I know our appearance has caused a stir in the Shen family. Because I knew, Aunt Rong has worked hard for her whole life with you all, like a family.”

“So, I come here today to tell you my stand. If it is not Grandpa who asks me to come in the future, I will not stand here in front of you. You can be assured of that.”

The Shens were relieved after hearing this. At least, there was a sensible one among the twins.

“Qiqi, you are very different from what I hear about you,” said Second Aunt. She could not hold it in and blurted out.

“I know. I am used to it already.” Mu Qiqi turned around and looked at Mu Tangxue.

“In this case, we will tell you our thoughts as well. We are not unreasonable people. Since you are being frank with us, we will make our stand as well. We deem kindness as something very important. It is a twenty years bond between us and Big Sister. So, we will not abandon her no matter what.”

“We will accept the fact that you are our kin. Since you are willing to live outside, we as elders are willing to accept you as part of the family.”

“Second Aunt, things are not that serious actually. I am already an adult and I am attending university. I will be capable of taking care of myself,” said Mu Qiqi. She seemed to be talking to Second Aunt, but she was actually directing it to Mu Tangxue.

“Of course you can take care of yourself. Because you have a rich boyfriend.”

Third Aunt burst out laughing. Everyone stared at her.

“Why are you looking at me? Should you be asking her if it is true?”
