The Divine Physician’s Overbearing Wife

‘We have agreed upon that. Why did she change her mind all of a sudden?’

He had even made up a lie where Nan Xian admired Gu Yiyi so that Gu Yiyi would agree to marry him. He did not even have time to persuade Nan Xian to return to the Mu family and marry Gu Yiyi. Yet, Gu Yiyi had rejected that marriage herself.

“Go and look into it! Why did Gu Yiyi break off the engagement?”

‘It’s impossible that Gu Yiyi would break off the engagement without any apparent reason. There must be something that I’m unaware of.

‘The manor master did not even mention it to me. I’ve got nowhere to look into!’

Chen Qingyan took out a handkerchief gently and helped wipe away the sweat on Mu Ling’s forehead. Her voice was gentle and soft. “Brother Ling, what do you think? Do you think that… Nan Xian has done something? She has left the Tian Shen Manor not long ago and she said that she wanted to go and look for Nan Xian. Now, she wants to break off the engagement…”

Mu Ling narrowed his eyes. He seemed cold and distant.

“It seems that I really need to meet with Nan Xian. I’ll ask him to go and meet with Gu Yiyi. Gu Yiyi is ugly and she will definitely fall for Nan Xian if he approaches her on his own initiative.”

‘I’ll definitely make it happen! The arranged marriage between the manor master’s family and my family! I’ll never give up!’

Chen Qingyan lowered her eyes and hid her soft smile.

‘Gu Yiyi went and looked for Nan Xian. It’s impossible that she did not notice it. She must’ve found out about the truth that Nan Xian has some other girl with him. She would feel humiliated and that was probably the reason why she had broken off the engagement in the first place.

‘In fact, how could Gu Yiyi allow such thing to happen to her given that she’s quite arrogant?

‘In case… Gu Yiyi becomes infuriated and kills that girl. That’ll be much better.

‘If that’s the case, Nan Xian would totally reach an impasse with her. He’ll hate her for the rest of his life. Then, there’s no more possibility of them having an arranged marriage.’

Chen Qingyan still appeared worried no matter what her inner thoughts were. “Brother Ling, I think that there must be some misunderstanding. Gu Yiyi is just taking things the wrong way. When she could understand the situation better, she’ll surely realize what a good man Nan Xian is.”

“Fine.”

Mu Ling’s facial expression became much better.

‘Qingyan is different from the other women. The other ordinary women would only infuriate me more at such a moment. But, Qingyan is always so considerate. Moreover, she defends Nan Xian too.’

“Qingyan,” Mu Ling could not help but pull Chen Qingyan into his embrace. “I treat Nan Xian nicely because he’s talented. The Mu family needs him. But, the one I like the most is still Xi’er.”

Chen Qingyan put her finger on Mu Ling’s lips. “Brother Ling, you don’t have to talk like that. Xian’er is your son and for sure he’s my son too. I’m his stepmother. I’ll surely wish the best for him his lifetime.”

Mu Ling hugged Chen Qingyan even tighter. “Qingyan, the Mu family needs your guard and care. I need to leave for a while to go and meet up with Nan Xian. If not, he won’t ever listen if others talk to him instead of me…”

These past few years, Nan Xian did not bother about him. Mu Ling asked the others to go and persuade him to return to the Mu family. But, he never heeded it.

However, Nan Xian gave a message to Mu Yong the last time he asked Mu Yong to persuade Nan Xian to return to the Mu family. Nan Xian claimed that he would be waiting for Mu Ling in Liu Yun Kingdom.

‘If that’s the case…

‘I need to go there myself.

‘I hope that Nan Xian will take the initiative to pursue Gu Yiyi for my sake.’

Now, the old man’s sickness could not be hidden any longer. Nan Xian was still quite young. It was almost impossible for Nan Xian to achieve a higher tier in his cultivation even if he could progress very fast. So…

The current Mu family needed Tian Shen Manor’s protection.

“Initially, I wanted Nan Xian to marry Tang Yin. Tang Yin’s body is special and her potential is not yet fully discovered yet. We’ll ask the manor master to let Nan Xian take Gu Yiyi as his concubine when Nan Xian is much stronger in the future.”
