The Divine Physician’s Overbearing Wife

Panda Novel

Before the old man could finish his words, suddenly, Chen Qingyan felt dizzy as her body fell toward Mu Ling.

Mu Ling felt confused as he heard the old man’s words.

Suyi had saved him before. When did that happen? Why did not he know?

Chen Qingyan fell unconscious and fell toward him before he could wonder further. He panicked, paled, and immediately caught Chen Qingyan’s body,

“Qingyan, what happened? Are you okay?”

Chen Qingyan rubbed her temples with her fingers. She sounded weak but gently smiled, “I’m fine, maybe I lost too much blood just now so I feel dizzy now. I’ll recover after I rest for a while, later.”

Mu Ling was shocked. He looked at the wound on Chen Qingyan’s head as his heart ached. “Qingyan, I’m sorry, I’ve arrived a little too late…”

Chen Qingyan gently held Mu Ling’s hand, “I’m fine. Don’t blame Father. Father’s angry because I do not do well. It’s true that I’m not as good as Sister Suyi in every way. It’s normal if Father likes Sister Suyi more. As long as I can be by your side, that’s enough for me. I have nothing more to ask for.”

She had lost her mother when she was young. Mu Ling was her only warmth until now.

He was the one who had kept her when she was penniless and had nowhere else to go.

Perhaps that was why she could not help but had decided to love him for the rest of her life.

“Let’s go, I’ll bring you to rest.”

Mu Ling secretly kept the old man’s words in his mind. He held Chen Qingyan’s weak body and walked outside, to the lobby.

The old butler slightly shook his head as he saw Mu Ling carrying Chen Qingyan out in his arms. “As the saying goes, ‘If the mother kills, her child is not guilty. Therefore, the Mu family did not go after Chen Qingyan. However, it was Chen Qingyan’s mother who had killed his mother! Why did the young master…”

Why did the young master fall in love with the enemy’s daughter?

“Master.” The old butler seemed to have thought of something and asked, “You mentioned that the young lady had saved the young master before, this…”

“Gee, have I said it just now?” The old man was shocked as he put his finger on his lips and shushed himself. “Shh, we should never spill the beans since I’ve promised Suyi that. If Mu Ling knows it, Suyi will leave home and never return again.”

The old butler’s lips twitched. He felt like telling the master that Lady Suyi, might never come back to their house again…

“Butler.” The old man suddenly had a pathetic look on his face. “I want to drink the turkey soup that Suyi prepares, how long until she returns? The medicine soup that the wicked woman serves is bitter and tastes terrible. When Suyi was here, she would always serve me with some rock candies and sweet plums. I don’t want to drink bitter medicine.”

The old butler sighed helplessly.

The old master was still capable of being in charge of the Mu family when he was fit.

Now, the old master was not capable of being in charge of the Mu family anymore.

His condition was getting worse, and so was his mental health too. Now… he could not control the young manor master anymore too.

Luckily the young manor master was quite filial to the master. Also, he was being kind to his brother. Or else this Mu family would be a different Mu family now…

“Master, good medicine tastes bitter…”

“I don’t want to drink it, ever!”

“Master, I’ve already prepared for you the sweet plums. Perhaps if you drink the medicine now, Lady Suyi will happily bring the turkey soup for you.”

The old man seemed shocked… He felt that the old butler had a point. So, he grabbed the medicine soup from the female servant’s hand and swallowed it right away.

“Butler, I felt a little dizzy. Help me up to get some rest.”

He had already stood up from the chair, but he felt dizzy. He needed the old butler to hold him as he walked.
