Chapter 948: I Want to Stay in the Mu Family IV
This was a good opportunity for Tan Shuangshuang to improve her position in the Mu family. However, the entrance to the feast was strictly guarded. She did not even have a chance to break into it.
Tan Shuangshuang gritted her teeth hard as she walked out of the chamber with mincing steps.
Just as she left the chamber, many servants could be seen bustling around the manor.
“What has happened?” Tan Shuangshuang asked one of the servants.
Seeing Tan Shuangshuang, the servant was a little impatient, her eyes were filled with disdain. However, the servant did not blatantly show her emotion.
“Manor Master and Young Lady Qingyan got injured. We are busy.”
As soon as the servant finished her words, she walked to the main chamber with a pail of water in her hands.
‘Mu Ling and Chen Qingyan got injured? Isn’t it the old master’s birthday today? How could the two of them get injured?’ Tan Shuangshuang frowned in bewilderment.
Tan Shuangshuang quickly made up her mind and rushed toward the main chamber. Naturally, she was stopped at the entrance as Mu Ling did not want to see her.
Tan Shuangshuang could not help but turn to leave.
Suddenly, a familiar figure came into sight. Tan Shuangshuang paused, hastily.
‘Feng Ruqing! Why is Feng Ruqing walking together with the manor master and Second Manor Master? Why is the state preceptor—Nan Xian here?’ Tan Shuangshuang’s heart twitched with anger, her eyes were blazing with fury.
Suddenly, something crossed her mind. Her heart skipped a beat. She clenched her fists tightly.
‘No way! Nan Xian is the state preceptor of Liu Yun Kingdom. If he is part of the Mu family—Mu Nanxian, why did he go to Liu Yun Kingdom to be the state preceptor?’
Other than the reason that came to her mind, Tan Shuangshuang could not figure out why Nan Xian was here.
Tan Shuangshuang loosened her fists as she walked up to Feng Ruqing with a faint smile on her face.

“Feng Ruqing.”
A familiar voice sounded. Feng Ruqing turned her head sideways only to see Tan Shuangshuang. At this time, Feng Ruqing was still calm and very much at ease.
“Feng Ruqing, I have never thought that I would meet you so soon.”
Simply no one knew if it was because of the fact that Nan Xian was here that Tan Shuangshuang was no longer as haughty as she was when she met Feng Ruqing a few days before. Tan Shuangshuang smiled gently. Her pregnant belly was more obvious now.
Before Feng Ruqing could respond, Tan Shuangshuang turned to look at Nan Xian.
“State Preceptor, it’s been a long while since we met. Are you here to attend the old master’s birthday feast?” Tan Shuangshuang asked, probingly.
A lot of ladies liked Nan Xian in Liu Yun Kingdom. However, Tan Shuangshuang was an exception.
Everyone in this realm knew that Nan Xian was so ethereal and otherworldly, placing him beyond anybody’s reach. Hence, many ladies could not help holding back their desire.
Although Tan Shuangshuang did not fall for Nan Xian, she was stunned by such a devastatingly charming young master. It was only natural that many ladies out there were dying for him.
“Xiao Qing…” Nan Xian subconsciously called out to the azure snake. The next second, he suddenly recalled that the azure snake had left him a long time ago and had not returned since.
“Qing’er, who is she?” Nan Xian looked at Feng Ruqing.
“She is Mu Ling’s concubine.” Feng Ruqing was dumbfounded. Nan Xian was terribly bad at recognizing faces.
“I see,” Nan Xian said, blandly. He did not even spare a second glance at Tan Shuangshuang.
‘Is the state preceptor part of the Mu family—Mu Nanxian? Why does Feng Ruqing address Mu Ling by his name?’ Tan Shuangshuang was dumbstruck by Feng Ruqing’s words.
