The Divine Physician’s Overbearing Wife

Panda Novel

Although Mu Ling was annoyed, he simply could not do anything to Gu Shi as he was the manor master.

“Thank you, Lady Qin.” Hearing Wen Yu’s words, Mu Ling’s face shifted as he smiled faintly.

“You’re welcome. That’s what I should do in view of the relationship between the Mu family and the Qin family.”

In other words, Wen Yu was actually telling everyone present that the Qin family and the Mu family were connected by marriage.

Gu Shi’s cold gaze swept past Wen Yu as he quickly turned away. He pulled Gu Yiyi’s arm and drew her back to the seat.

“I thought Young Lady Mu and Nan Xian would be back by now? Why are they not here yet?”

“Young Lady Mu is such an ungrateful wretch. The old master had treated her so well, but she has taken his kindness for granted. She has never returned to the Mu family for years for his birthday.”

Currently, the banquet hall was abuzz with chatters.

‘Since Suyi is back in Tian Shen Manor, why is she not here yet?’ Mu Ling frowned. His stunning face took on a ghastly expression.

Was Suyi avoiding the old master’s birthday in order to make Mu Ling mad?

“Father.” Gu Yiyi sat down. She scanned everyone present, but Feng Ruqing was nowhere to be found. Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared.

“How did An Cui get in here?”

An Cui should not have come to this feast. What concerned Gu Yiyi most was that An Cui had actually walked in after Chen Qingyan, as if she was Chen Qingyan’s servant.

Gu Shi frowned. His gaze swept past the crowd and fell upon An Cui’s beautiful face.

“I don’t know what An Cui is after. However, she can never make it.”

Hearing this, Gu Yiyi felt immensely relieved. She could never forget the way An Cui had begged her and wanted Gu Yiyi to help her to become Nan Xian’s concubine.

Gu Yiyi was not a fool. Naturally, she would never help someone who could upset Feng Ruqing.

“Manor Master, there must be some misunderstandings between the Mu family and the chief manor back then. As we were unable to meet you, we did not manage to clear out the misunderstanding between us. It’s time we clear the air now, shall we? I really like Young Lady Gu. That’s why I have proposed an arranged marriage between Nan Xian and her.”

It would have been fine if Mu Ling did not mention the arranged marriage. Hearing this, Gu Shi’s face darkened.

“Young Master Mu, my daughter has yet to step into the Mu family but you have arranged so many concubines for Nan Xian. Do you want to bully my daughter to death?”

“Oh! The rest of the clans must have been mistaken about this. I was arranging concubines for Mu Xi, not Mu Nanxian,” Mu Ling replied, ambiguously.

Since the rest of the clans had called off the marriage, Mu Ling could just deny the things that Gu Shi had said.

As long as Gu Shi agreed to let Gu Yiyi marry Nan Xian, Mu Ling would not arrange any other concubines for Nan Xian like what he had done, previously. He would only get Nan Xian to take Qin Fei’er as his concubine when Gu Yiyi was pregnant.

Gu Shi sneered. Gu Shi had never given the people of the Mu family a thought. Previously, he had accepted the arranged marriage because of Nan Xian.

Perhaps, the Qin family was of the same opinion.

With the Qin family’s power, they would never let Qin Fei’er be someone else’s concubine. However, since they had accepted the marriage, it must be because of Nan Xian.

Nan Xian was indeed a rare talent and was unrivaled in Tian Shen Manor. Sooner or later, he would dominate the world.

Hence, the Qin family did not reject the arranged marriage, even if Qin Fei’er would only be Nan Xian’s concubine.

However, things would go completely different if the groom was Mu Xi. The Qin family would never have accepted the arranged marriage.

“Let’s not talk about those who have called off the marriage. What about Young Lady Qin? Don’t tell me that Young Lady Qin has agreed to be Mu Xi’s concubine.” Gu Shi broke into a smile.

As soon as Gu Shi finished speaking, the faces of the people of the Qin family changed.
