Chapter 1195: Tian Shen Manor’s Difficulty IX
Just as the words were spoken, the once quiet main hall became noisy in a blink of an eye. Everyone’s eyes were filled with fear and panic.
They were afraid… that the Mu family would be destroyed. They were even more afraid… that they would lose their lives here.
“Master, quickly think of a solution!”
“If there really is no choice, then cut all connection with Gu Shi. After that, bring Young Master Nan Xian… That’s right, and that guy called Qin Chen, and send them both out! You cannot go down the history of the Mu family as the person who caused the downfall of the family!”
Those people were speaking in turn and were so anxious that tears were almost about to fall.
Old Master Mu was righteous and his face was kind and dignified.
This time, he was no longer looking at anyone. He did not even glance at his own son.
He looked at Suyi alone.
“Suyi, looks like only we can handle these people this time.”
Suyi gave a small smile and said, “No problem. I stayed here for Old Master. It is not related to other people. The survival or destruction of the Mu family is not related to me. I am only here for Old Master who has treated me well back then.”
“Hahaha, Suyi, in the future, do not address me as ‘old master’ anymore. You can address me as ‘father’ as you did before. Not as a daughter-in-law, but rather as a daughter. You were unable to become my daughter-in-law, but you are still my daughter! Calling me ‘father’ is not too much, is it?”
Old Master laughed and said.
Suyi’s heart felt warm. “Father.”
She was an orphan and was alone in a foreign land. She was also not the biological daughter of Old Master.
Yet she was able to experience the warmth of a family from him.
Therefore, she had chosen to stay in the Mu family to accompany the lonely old master until Mu Qingyin returned.
The old housekeeper walked into the hall. He was obviously already very old, but his spine was rigid and straight, great and tall like the generals on a battlefield.
“Old Master, from the moment you took me in back then, my life was already yours. Also, the orphans that Lady Suyi had taken in back then, they are here! Therefore, it will not be just the two of you. Although the Mu family’s people are not willing to go to the battle, you still have us!”
Old Master’s old face twitched and finally turned into a small smile.
“Good. Hahaha! I have never been afraid of anyone in my entire life! If the Mu family is no more, we can rebuild it again another day. If credibility is lost, the entire life is gone!”
He had never done anything that would go against his principles and abandon righteousness in his entire life.
To him, keeping promises was more important than life itself.
Just like back then, he had promised that he would only acknowledge his first daughter-in-law in his entire life—only Suyi alone. He would not go back against his words in this lifetime.
“Master!”
The moment Old Master was about to step out of the main hall, another guard rushed over, put his fist to his palm, and reported, “Young Lady has returned.”
Young Lady? Mu Huan?
Old Master frowned.
Mu Huan had disappeared for quite some time. Why did she return home now?
Old Master did not like Chen Qingyan’s two children. However, they were still considered to be in the same generation of his grandchildren. He would not give them a part of the Mu family, but similarly, he also did not wish for them to lose their lives just like that.
“Make her leave!” Old Master’s face was stern.
If it was Mu Xi, then he could have let it go. After all, he was a man from the Mu family. He definitely did not wish for his own grandson to be a weakling.
Mu Huan was a girl and naturally did not need to charge to the frontlines for her family clan.
Truth be told, no matter how much Old Master Mu disliked these two children, he was still clear that their personalities were problematic because Chen Qingyan had brought them up them wrongly.
Children are blank slates.
