The Divine Physician’s Overbearing Wife

Chapter 949: I Want to Stay in the Mu Family V

‘Feng Ruqing is so disrespectful toward Mu Ling. Is she not afraid of being banished from the Mu family?’

“State Preceptor, the name of Mu Ling’s eldest son is also Nan Xian. What a coincidence! Are you Mu Ling’s eldest son—Mu Nanxian?” Tan Shuangshuang faked a smile.

Nan Xian stared at Tan Shuangshuang coldly. The one thing he hated the most was when someone mentioned him as being part of the Mu family.

“Young Lady Xiao Qing and Nan Xian, please ignore her. Let’s continue walking.” Mu Qingyin’s gaze swept past Tan Shuangshuang and fell on Feng Ruqing and Nan Xian. A faint smile could be seen playing on his lips.

“Alright, Second Uncle.”

‘Second Uncle?’ Tan Shuangshuang’s facial expression shifted a little.

Feng Ruqing had addressed Mu Ling by his name, but she addressed Mu Qingyin as ‘second uncle’? Apparently, the state preceptor was Mu Nanxian.

By the time Tan Shuangshuang came back to her senses, Feng Ruqing had left together with Mu Qingyin and Nan Xian. Tan Shuangshuang was the only one left, standing rooted to the spot. Her eyes were still fixed upon Feng Ruqing’s back. Her face took on a ghastly expression.

In Liu Yun Kingdom, Feng Ruqing was the princess who stood aloof from the masses. Tan Shuangshuang had always been bowing down to her.

Now that Tan Shuangshuang had reached Tian Shen Manor after going through so much trouble, she still had to bow down to Feng Ruqing?

Tan Shuangshuang was Mu Ling’s wife, but Feng Ruqing had actually hooked up with the young master of the Mu family.

“No way! Feng Ruqing was married to Liu Yuchen before this. Mu Ling would never accept Feng Ruqing to be his daughter-in-law. Even if she could step into the Mu family, she would only be a concubine, just like me.” Tan Shuangshuang shook her head.

Once Tan Shuangshuang gave birth to a son, her status in the Mu family would be upgraded. Moreover, if her son was talented, she could definitely replace Chen Qingyan.

On top of that, even if Tan Shuangshuang was merely a concubine, she was Nan Xian’s mother. Her child was the young master of the Mu family. In other words, Tan Shuangshuang would become Feng Ruqing’s mother-in-law. Tan Shuangshuang had a higher rank than Feng Ruqing in the Mu family.

Who did Feng Ruqing think she was?

By then, Feng Ruqing must do whatever Tan Shuangshuang had instructed her to. Even if Tan Shuangshuang wanted Feng Ruqing to serve her drinks, Feng Ruqing must not refuse.

Thinking of this, Tan Shuangshuang was overjoyed. The corners of her lips curved into a smile.

As Mu Ling had treated Chen Qingyan so well, Tan Shuangshuang had totally forgotten about the difference between the son of a concubine and the principal wife. She had always thought that there was no difference between a concubine and the principal wife in the Mu family. The same went for their children.

However, little did Tan Shuangshuang know, Mu Ling only cared for Chen Qingyan. Although Tan Shuangshuang was a concubine, like Chen Qingyan, she was no match for Chen Qingyan.

Outside the courtyard, peach trees were in full bloom.

“This is where you and the old master stay?” Feng Ruqing paused as she frowned.

“I have moved here when you left as I don’t want to stay in the main manor. Some time ago, my father moved in here and refused to leave since.” Mu Qingyin nodded slightly.

“You have poor health. The old master’s health is even worse. This place is not suitable for both of you. You may want to pack your stuff and move out of here.”

Stunned, Mu Qingyin stared at Feng Ruqing’s dark face. Shock crept into his eyes.

“Why?”

“This place is too deserted and shady. It’s not a good place for recuperation. Let’s go. I want to take a look at the place where the old master stayed earlier.”

“Alright.”

Mu Qingyin regained his composure and walked forward together with Feng Ruqing.

The main manor was much brighter and spacious than the courtyard that Mu Qingyin was staying in.

Just as Feng Ruqing stepped into the main manor, her face darkened, hiding a storm brewing within her.
