Perhaps, Chen Qingyan had forbidden everyone in the Mu family from talking about the eldest young master.
Hence, Tan Shuangshuang did not know who the eldest young master was. Moreover, he had not returned for years. Perhaps, he had been disowned by the Mu family.
Mu Xi was a good-for-nothing. Besides his stunning face, his strength, talent, and personality were not up to scratch.
‘I am so brilliant. Naturally, my son will not be inferior. With the Mu family behind his back, who could outshine him?’
Tan Shuangshuang took no notice of Mu Huan. No matter how brilliant Mu Huan was, she was still a lady. The Mu family had gained a strong foothold in this realm. Mu Huan could never helm the Mu family. Ultimately, Tan Shuangshuang’s son would be the manor master of the Mu family.
Seeing Tan Shuangshuang beaming with pride, the servant behind her grew increasingly disdainful of her.
‘What is the young manor master thinking? Not only is Lady Qingyan gentle and kind, she treats the servants so well. The young manor master has actually brought a lady back into the Mu family and broken Lady Qingyan’s heart. This lady is so shameless to break up a couple!’
A loud noise sounded. Tan Shuangshuang paused. She turned her head to look at a courtyard in bewilderment.
“Xiao Liu, who is there?”
Xiao Liu did not respond, a hint of disdain flashed in her eyes.
The courtyard was remotely located, but not the slightest bit desolate. It was a beautiful courtyard full of peach trees.
Tan Shuangshuang had been staying in the Mu family for quite some time, but she had never been to that beautiful courtyard. She had never met anyone else besides Mu Ling and Chen Qingyan.
“The second young manor master. The old master has lost his temper not long ago and did not want to see Lady Qingyan. Hence, he has moved in there to stay with the second young manor master. Perhaps, the noise just now… the old master has lost his temper again.”
Mu Xi was the second young master of the Mu family. Hence, the second young manor master was Mu Qingyin—Mu Ling’s younger brother who had had poor health since he was little and had never stepped out of the Mu family.
Tan Shuangshuang was not interested with Mu Qingyin. However, when she heard that the old master of the Mu family was staying in the courtyard, her eyes lit up. She knew that the old master disliked Chen Qingyan. If she could keep in with the old master, she might be able to gain a foothold in the Mu family.
Hence, Tan Shuangshuang disregarded the servant behind her and walked into the courtyard.
It was March, thus, the peach trees were in full bloom.
A young master could be seen sitting in a pavilion surrounded by peach blossoms. It was so serene and quiet, forming a striking contrast with the rowdy surroundings.
Tan Shuangshuang could not help but stop in her steps.
Although Mu Ling was stunningly handsome, he was aged. His head was covered with grey hair, even his sideburns revealed his age.
The young master before her was so young, noble, and stunning. Tan Shuangshuang thought that Mu Ling’s younger brother—Mu Qingyin was in his forties.
Tan Shuangshuang held her breath, her hand grabbed tightly onto the corner of her robe. She did not take a step forward for fear of disturbing the young master.
Of all the young masters Tan Shuangshuang had met, only State Preceptor Nan Xian could outshine this young master’s physical appearance. Even Liu Yuchen was no match for him. She could not even compare Liu Yuchen with him.
The young master before her was so noble and lofty like a white fluffy cloud. On the other hand, Liu Yuchen was like a mound of dirt contaminated with earthly dust.
