The Divine Physician's Overbearing Wife Chapter 1197 - Mu Huan's Threat II

Chapter 1197: Mu Huan’s Threat II

“You do not need to meddle in my affairs. I am here this time for Suyi’s life!” Mu Huan’s eyes were full of fury. “If Mu Ling were to personally kill Suyi, then I am willing to give the Mu family a chance. I will level the Qin family. All of you can see the people behind me. These people are not the strongest ones on my husband’s side! If all of you do not agree, then I will let the Mu family’s life and death run its own course!

She had initially used the Qin family and not personally taken action to force Mu Ling to personally kill Suyi!

That person was the culprit who had s.n.a.t.c.hed away her father and the cause of her mother’s depravity!

If it were not because of the Suyi and her son, she would not have had to… serve a man she did not even love.

All these grudges, she vented them on Suyi. Her eyes were full of anger and even carried murderous intent.

Mu Ling’s body froze.

He had never had to make such a choice throughout his life.

One was his family clan, another was… a woman he already owed a lot to.

“Mu Huan, do you really wish to do this?” Mu Ling’s voice was a little shaky, seemingly containing an insuppressible anger. “Do you know what you are doing? This was not Suyi’s fault!”

Mu Huan never thought that at such a critical juncture, Mu Ling still spoke on behalf of Suyi. The hatred in her eyes increased. “Mother had told me that the two of you knew each other first and were truly in love. Suyi was someone who came after that. It was she who had stolen the marriage that should have belonged to my mother. All this is her fault!”

“Mu Huan!” Mu Ling shouted. “Back then, Suyi did not know about the relationship between your mother and me. Yes, I had promised to take care of Chen Qingyan. It was I who had gone back on my words! However, I still allowed her to enter the Mu family. I had previously thought that she had saved me a couple of times and felt guilty, thus I had made such a promise to her! Now I realized, the thought of giving one’s life to save another is just a joke!”

Ever since he got to know about Chen Qingyan’s character, Mu Ling realized many things. He also realized how many things he had done in the past that had hurt Suyi.

No matter how much entanglement there was between Chen Qingyan and his relationship, Suyi was innocent.

She was someone who had no knowledge of it. She had always thought that he and Chen Qingyan were merely cousins. It was him who had kept it all a secret.

Now that Mu Huan was making such accusations, it made him feel depressed. It even seemed as if dark clouds were floating above his head.

“Now, I do not care. Mu Ling, I will only give you a chance. Will you kill Suyi, or not?”

Mu Huan sneered. “I have long understood you. Might, status, and family clan were always the most important things in your heart. You have forced Nan Xian to marry a wife and take in concubines for power. You would even more so force me to give myself away. However, now, I have found a person to rely on all on my own. In the future, I will no longer need to count on you!”

Mu Ling turned silent. His handsome face turned pale.

He slowly turned his head and looked at a woman dressed in white.

She was elegant and otherworldly, like a fairy from a painting. The wind was lightly blowing and the sky was clear. She looked incredibly calm and collected, as if she was not affected in any way by the words Mu Huan had spoken.

Perhaps… she had long been disappointed in him?

Chapter 1198: Mu Huan’s Threat III

Chen Qingyan’s mother was like that. Chen Qingyan was like that. Now, even Mu Huan was like this!

It was true what the saying says; like mother, like daughter.

Mu Huan sneered at Old Master Mu. “You old thing, you have no right to open your mouth in this place!”

If it were not because of this old thing, her mother would not have had such a pitiful life. A thousand cuts at these Mu family’s people were not sufficient to vent her anger!

Old Master Mu shook his sleeves and stood upright with his back ramrod straight. His calm tone carried unruffled confidence.

“I am the head of the Mu family! I have the right to decide on any matters regarding the Mu family!”

“Hehe…” Mu Huan sneered without care. “The Qin family’s people are about to arrive. You want to defend Suyi. Have you ever thought about how the other members of the Mu family feel? This is the end of you being the Mu family’s head!”

As predicted, the weak-minded uncles of the Mu family had ugly expressions on their faces.

To them, sacrificing Suyi alone to keep the whole Mu family was too good of a deal!

Only the head of the family would be so stubborn as to keep her alive!

“Master, Nan Suyi is no longer a member of our Mu family. We can let it go that you decided not to abandon Gu Shi, but to abandon the whole Mu family for an outsider. Is it worth it?”

“Currently Young Lady Mu Huan has this kind of capability. We need to agree to any of Young Lady Mu Huan’s conditions! Now, it is only her who is able to protect our Mu family!”

“Master, what are you still thinking about? Later on, we will hold back Old Master. You go and settle Nan Suyi. As long as the Mu family is protected, is there any kind of woman you would not able to have? If we lose the Mu family, there would be nothing left!”

***

Mu Huan’s brows were covered in delight. So what even if these people had previously accepted Suyi? With just a few words from her, was she not able to get rid of Suyi?

This was the advantage of having power.

For the first time, she was a little grateful that her mother had given her away to Jia Xin. Otherwise, she would not have had such undefeatable power. Furthermore, these sn.o.bs would not have so easily agreed and bow to her.

Furthermore, she had the power to decide on Suyi’s life and death!

A man like Mu Ling who was so afraid of death and so greedy for power would definitely not abandon the Mu family for a woman!

Too bad, sometimes, one could not have too many self-righteous thoughts.

Mu Ling was indeed heartless and a flirt, but over these twenty plus years, he only had Suyi and Chen Qingyan.

Tan Shuangshuang was an exception! She was not what he had wanted.

He was similarly greedy for power.

However, his greed for power was only limited to letting his sons and daughters marry for alliances and betraying their happiness. Nevertheless, he would never give up his own happiness.

After all, the two women he had were orphans without any background. With Mu Ling’s status and cultivation, creating marital alliances with other big families was considered normal.

If Chen Qingyan did not exist in this life… Perhaps, Mu Ling would not have become a sc.u.m!

However, this was destiny. He was destined to be unworthy of having Suyi!

“Huan’er…” Mu Ling’s tone became softer as his eyes begged. “I am willing to forgive all that Qingyan had done. I will make her my official wife. I am only begging you… to save the Mu family.”

Thud!

His knees fell hard to the ground as he kneeled on the floor in the silent Mu family’s courtyard.

To him, ‘official wife’ was merely a t.i.tle.

Not to mention he could no longer be humane toward her, even if he could, just based on the things Chen Qingyan had done, he could not forgive her.
