Originally, Mu Ling had wanted to avenge Mu Xi in a fit of anger. However, Chen Qingyan had stopped him because of Nan Xian.

Did Mu Xi deserve the suffering? Who was Chen Qingyan’s son? Nan Xian or Mu Xi?

Chen Qingyan knew why Mu Huan was infuriated. She glanced at Mu Huan helplessly and shook her head. Her own daughter was too impulsive and was lacking scheming skills.

Mu Ling knew that Nan Xian would never let go of Feng Ruqing. Hence, he could not kill her. Moreover, the Mu family needed Nan Xian. Mu Ling must not mess with Nan Xian.

Hence, Chen Qingyan could not help but pretend to be generous. By doing this, not only would Mu Ling feel bad for Mu Xi, he would hate Nan Xian’s lover. It would do Chen Qingyan good and not harm.

“Why aren’t you letting us in?” Just as Chen Qingyan lost in thought, Mu Ling’s furious voice spoke. She quickly regained her senses.

There were two guards guarding the chief manor’s gate with cold and stern faces.

“The manor master said that the Mu family has deceived everyone in this realm and has ruined his reputation. Hence, none of the people of the Mu family can attend the manor lady’s birthday feast.”

Hearing this, Mu Ling’s face turned crimson.

Everyone around Mu Ling was dumbstruck after they had heard that. People who attended the feats were all influential and powerful officials. Now that all of them had witnessed the whole incident, what was going to happen to the Mu family’s reputation?

“Brother Ling.” Chen Qingyan seemed rather flustered as she looked at Mu Ling.

“Go and tell the manor master that I am here today for the manor lady’s birthday. It seemed that there are have been some misunderstandings between the manor master and the Mu family. I am here to offer my apologies.” Mu Ling’s face darkened.

“This is the manor master’s command. The manor master did not say that there were any misunderstandings between the chief manor and the Mu family. The Mu family has deceived the manor master. Hence, none of the people from the Mu family can step into the chief manor.” The guard sneered, sarcastically.

Mu Ling wanted to say something, but the people behind him were starting to get restless. He had no choice but to give way to the people behind him to get into the chief manor.

“Brother Ling, what can we do now?”

Seeing the people bustling around the chief manor, Chen Qingyan bit her lower lip, her eyes filled with dejection.

“I don’t know what Nan Xian has done that has infuriated the manor master. This is about the Mu family’s reputation. Now that everyone knows that the manor master has kept us out of the chief manor, they might laugh at us behind our backs.”

“Qingyan is right! This unfilial Nan Xian must have infuriated the people of the chief manor. Not only has he made the Mu family a scapegoat, he had ruined the Mu family’s reputation! This unfilial son has arrived at the Mu family for his due!” Mu Ling clenched his fists tightly.

“Mother, Gu Shi does not deserve to be the manor master after all, why should we fawn on him? The Mu family is not inferior. Moreover, my master is with us.” Mu Huan smiled, sarcastically.

Mu Huan would never fawn on anyone!

Although the Grandmaster Hai Rong had always lived by himself and had not gained a foothold in this realm, his strength was really something.

“Huan’er,” Chen Qingyan panicked and warned hastily.

“You must not say this again in the future as it might reach the manor master’s ears. Your master has always been living a carefree life, and free from any desire for fame and wealth. He has spent his whole life studying the art of healing. Even if he was omnipotent, he is not capable of helping the Mu family. Do you understand?”
