Feng Ruqing responded naturally. She stretched her leg without any hesitation and kicked Mu Qingyin a few meters away.
The noisy streets soon fell into a heavy silence.
All noises disappeared and they stared at Feng Ruqing in shock.
Luo Li was stunned too.
Did Feng Ruqing just kick the second young manor master of the Mu family?
To their surprise, she had attacked the second young manor master of the Mu family!
That was the old master’s favorite son in the Mu family. Moreover, he was Nan Xian’s uncle too.
Mu Qingyin cleared his throat.
The imperial guards were going to react when Mu Qingyin raised his hand and prohibited them from doing anything more.
His steps faltered as he slowly walked toward Feng Ruqing. He seemed guilty and apologetic. “I’m sorry. I went over the line just now. I didn’t mean to harm you.”
“Oh! I do know that you mean no harm.” Feng Ruqing apologized sincerely. “But, I couldn’t control myself. I dislike being touched by any male. That’s disgusting. I’ll get goosebumps all over my body. That’s why I was unable to refrain from kicking you…”
That was the truth. It was not her fault. She could not control her body’s natural response.
Mu Qingyin was speechless.
It was the first time he was disliked by someone else.
It was a heartbreaking feeling.
“Young lady, where did you get that bracelet?” Mu Qingyin stared at the bracelet on Feng Ruqing’s hand. His breathing seemed erratic.
Feng Ruqing touched her bracelet.
Mu Xi had met her before and he was well aware of the relationship between Nan Xian and her.
But, Mu Qingyin clearly did not know anything about that.
That was proof that he was totally different from Mu Ling.
Feng Ruqing realized that Mu Qingyin was staring at her bracelet all the time. She kept quiet for a while before explaining to him, “Suyi gave it to me.”
It was indeed the truth. Suyi had given it to Feng Ruqing at the princess’s manor. She had forced it onto Feng Ruqing at that time.
Mu Qingyin wanted to hold onto Feng Ruqing’s hand again…
But, he suddenly remembered what she had done just now. He retracted his hand.
“Are you the one my elder brother had mentioned before? Uhm, the woman who is adored by my sister-in-law and Nan Xian?”
Feng Ruqing was silent.
‘It’s fine if you want to talk about Nan Xian. But, why did you have to bring Suyi up?’
It sounded like Feng Ruqing was the one who had seduced Suyi.
“Do you know where Suyi is?” Mu Qingyin continued his queries.
In fact, Feng Ruqing hoped that Suyi never returned to the Mu family.
It was a place that had broken her heart before.
“Do you want her back?”
Hence, she kept quiet for a moment before answering Mu Qingyin.
Mu Qingyin did not say anything.
He did hope for her sister-in-law’s return.
But, Chen Qingyan was there now.
His elder brother was so stubborn. If she returned, she would only be heartbroken.
That was why he did not take any actions these past few days even though he had promised his father to go and look for Suyi.
Feng Ruqing smiled sarcastically. “If Suyi returns one day, it would never be for Mu Ling’s sake. It’s difficult for her to forget about the past. I’ll never allow anybody to harm her again for the rest of her life.”
“I understand.” Mu Qingyin smiled softly. “I won’t force her to return to the Mu family.”
Feng Ruqing looked at Mu Qingyin’s sickly face. After a short while, she said, “You seem to be weak. Are you sick?”
“Yes, I had fetus poisoning. It’s difficult to cure because I was poisoned when my mother was pregnant with me.”
It could be cured during the earlier period when he was poisoned.
But, nobody ever found out that his mother was poisoned back then. When he was born, his mother had died from the poison. That was when the others found out the truth.
