The Divine Physician’s Overbearing Wife

He still did not know that Suyi was severely injured because she had tried to save Mu Ling. In the end, Mu Ling had even left her behind, wounded…

Otherwise, Hai Rong would not have been so calm.

However, Mu Ling was no longer able to hear the words Hai Rong had said after that. He stumbled and he had only managed to avoid falling to the ground by holding onto the tabletop.

His face turned even paler than before and his mind was ringing, as if thunder was roaring, making him unable to think normally.

In the end, even Mu Ling himself had no idea how he had left the inn.

He blindly walked around alone for quite some time. He only returned to the Mu family when the sky had turned dark.

He raised his head and looked at the gate of the magnificent courtyard. His heart felt like it had been repeatedly pierced by a sword until it was riddled with holes and fresh blood was flowing out.

“Young Manor Master, you have returned?”

Han Feng, who had a limp as a result of having his limb broken by Nan Xian two years ago, came walking out. He was smiling as he said, “Lady Qingyan is waiting for you in the courtyard.”

Currently, everyone in the Mu family addressed Chen Qingyan as Aunt. Only Han Feng alone still insisted on holding onto this form of address.

Mu Ling suddenly recovered his senses. His gaze landed on Han Feng’s face. “Han Feng, how many years have you been following me?”

Han Feng smiled. “Young Manor Master, I have followed you for almost twenty-five years.

“I remember that I was pursued by someone who wanted to kill me twenty years ago. Back then, I had severe injuries. It was you and Qingyan who had brought me back,” Mu Ling faintly smiled and said, “In the beginning, only Suyi, Qingyan, and I left the Mu family and we did not bring any guards. I guess Qingyan must have run quite a distance and finally managed to call for backup. She really has suffered quite a bit for me.”

Han Feng touched the back of his head. “In the beginning, the head of the family has dispatched me to follow Young Manor Master from the back, so I was not too far away from Young Manor Master. However, Lady Qingyan really cared about Young Manor Master. I saw Lady Qingyan looking very anxious. It was a good thing that when I went over, the person who was chasing after Young Manor Master had already been chased away by an unknown warrior.”

Mu Ling clenched his fists tightly. “Luckily Qingyan was not injured. Otherwise, I would feel guilty for the rest of my life.”

Han Feng did not suspect anything when he heard Mu Ling’s calm reply. He respectfully said, “Young Manor Master, although Lady Qingyan was not wounded, she indeed does care about Young Manor Master. Please forgive me for being blunt. These days, Young Manor Master has indeed been a little… cruel toward her.”

Ordinarily, Han Feng had always spoken to Mu Ling humbly. He only had the courage to speak such words when it came to matters regarding Chen Qingyan.

It was because he understood that as long as it was something to do with Lady Qingyan, the young manor master would never get angry!

Mu Ling lowered his gaze to hide the chill in his eyes. “What about Suyi? Back then… Did you see Suyi?”

Han Feng looked as if he was suppressing a smile. “Regarding this matter, Lady Qingyan had always disallowed me to inform Young Manor Master. In the beginning, I had followed behind Young Manor Master alone. I could only bring back one person with my strength alone. Furthermore, I did not dare to touch Lady Suyi. Lady Qingyan’s body was also weak and she was more so unable to pick up Lady Suyi. So…”

He paused for a moment before continuing, “So, I brought Young Manor Master back and let Lady Qingyan stay back to take care of Lady Suyi. I had intended to ask a servant girl to bring Lady Suyi back later on. However… When I had arrived with Young Manor Master at the Mu family, I found out that Lady Qingyan had already returned. Furthermore, she was also injured.”

Mu Ling was quiet, waiting for Han Feng to continue speaking.

“The person who had hurt Lady Qingyan was Lady Suyi’s good friend. Lady Suyi was brought away by him. Lady Qingyan was worried that it would cause conflict between Young Manor Master and Lady Suyi, so she had instructed me to hold my tongue. I have seen how Young Manor Master is treating Lady Qingyan and am no longer able to bear it. Thus, I have spoken a little more today.”
