Chen Qingyan had always been a vicious lady in the old master’s heart.
Was it all because Chen Qingyan had a vicious mother? Her mother did make a mistake, but her daughter—Chen Qingyan was innocent. She had gone through so many struggles. Why did the old master still not forgive her?
“Old Master, Young Lady Mu Huan is right. When Manor Lady Suyi was still in the Mu family, the people of the Mu family were full of grievances. However, things have changed when Lady Qingyan is here. Old Master, you can’t strip Lady Qingyan of all the credits just because of the mistake that her mother made,” Mu Ying said after remaining silent for a while.
“Old Master, we know that you like Manor Lady Suyi, but Lady Qingyan is so kind and generous. She has sacrificed a lot for the Mu family. We must not be ungrateful.”
“That’s right. Old Master, no matter what Lady Qingyan’s mother did, it has nothing to do with Lady Qingyan. She is a great lady. She is innocent.”
Seeing many people standing up for Chen Qingyan, Mu Huan stood straighter as she stared disdainfully at Suyi’s face.
‘How could a lady stay in the Mu family when she can’t even win the hearts of the people in the Mu family?’
“Don’t you know why Suyi does not grow the people within the Mu family? Are you not aware of the talent of your own descendants? Suyi did tell me before that she wanted to get some disciples from the other clans out there and I have agreed to it. I did not manage to do this previously, but Suyi has made it.” The old master sneered.
In the reclusive world, it was truly rare for a clan to accept disciples from other clans. As all the clans had their own secrets, they would only grow the talents within the clan.
However, the spirit herbs would completely run out one day. Without spirit herbs and talent, a clan would surely collapse. The old master knew this very well. Hence, he did not stop Suyi from taking disciples from outside.
All the disciples that Suyi brought back to the Mu family were profoundly gifted. Although they did not carry the Mu family’s bloodline, as they were highly talented. That was enough!
People of the same family bloodline might not necessarily be loyal. At the same time, people of different family bloodlines might not necessarily be treacherous.
“When Suyi left the Mu family back then, all of you didn’t even care about Suyi’s painstaking effort and had banished all the disciples that Suyi had taken from all over the world just because they do not carry the Mu family’s bloodline.
“The old butler had always been by my side. He knew how important those disciples were to the Mu family. Hence, he has adopted these disciples.
“It is a pity that Chen Qingyan was taking full control of the spirit herb chamber. Hence, the old butler did not manage to get any spirit herb to enhance these disciples’ strength. The youngest among them was only twenty years old. Even so, he has attained Dark Warrior tier not long ago.”
The old master only found out about all these after he had regained his senses.
In the entire Mu family, Mu Qingyin and the old butler were the only two people who knew everything in the Mu family well.
The old butler had been working with the old master for years. Naturally, he knew the old master very well. Hence, he had found a place and adopted those banished disciples.
When Suyi brought these disciples back to the Mu family, they were still kids. Hence, all of them were still very young now. Although they did not have spirit herbs to enhance their strength, some of them had actually surpassed the descendants of the Mu family who took spirit herbs to boost their strength.
“Those kids are not Mu family’s descendants. What if they sell the Mu family out…?” Mu Ying’s face stiffened.
“A few years ago, Gu Shi found out that we were adopting these disciples. He wanted to poach them. However, he did not make it because these kids felt extremely grateful toward Suyi and did not want to leave.” The old master sneered.
All the kids that Suyi had brought back to the Mu family were of poor origins. It was Suyi who had given them a new life. Hence, they would never leave and betray her.
Betrayal would always be treacherous regardless of bloodline. Those who were loyal would never betray!
