Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife novel Chapter 8

Mu Tangxue was still uncomfortable despite knowing that her mother left Mu Qiqi with her impoverished aunt. Even if she would not be able to pull any tricks, she felt she could only be at ease after she saw it with her own eyes.

That was why she woke up as early as she could the next day, and asked her chauffeur to take her to the slums where Su Zipei lived.

"Young Mistress, it is a filthy place. You should ask me if you need anything; you don't have to get down from the car!"

"Thank you, Uncle Zhong," Mu Tangxue replied courteously.

She had always been the perfect young lady of the Mu family in front of everyone else: beautiful, noble, kind, and understanding towards others.

"Ah, you are sisters in the end... you are the only one who misses her!" The chauffeur thought that Mu Tangxue had come to visit, and was moved by her sentimental side.

"Uncle Zhong, I don't see anyone inside Aunt's home. Could you help me ask around?"

"Yes, Young Mistress. Please wait." The chauffeur quickly left the car, but soon returned with a somber look.

"What is it?"

"Young Mistress... the neighbors are saying... that they saw your sister sold off by that vermin uncle of yours!"

Sold off?

Mu Tangxue was delighted at those words, although she kept her head lowered as if upset.

In reality, she herself predicted that it was not unusual that their greedy uncle would sell her sister.

"Young Mistress, my condolences."

"Poor, poor sister. Let's go, Uncle Zhong."

Since his sister was sold off, that Mu Qiqi in the national rankings was definitely not her sister.

Still, she never expected her despicable uncle proved to be such a help!

From now on, she no longer had to worry about having someone looking identical to herself and claiming her rightful attention in the family.

"Uncle Zhong, please don't tell Dad about this. You know he's upset whenever my sister's mentioned, I'm afraid he might take it out on her again."

"Be rest assured, Young Mistress!" The chauffeur thought that Mu Tangxue was ever kind and considerate toward others, and had never belittled him despite his place as a chauffeur.

Only Mu Qiqi and herself knew how vicious she could be!

***

Meanwhile, Mu Qiqi was not sad that she could not defeat Mu Tangxue in the mock exam.

She was just unable to decide whether she was disappointed in her own ranking or because she wouldn't meet Sheng Xiao.

And the next mock exam was two months later.

..

Su Zipei, believing that she had been lacking and not realizing that Mu Qiqi was having her troubled maiden moment comforted her then. "Qiqi, your result is already very good after being away from your studies for so long."

"I'm fine, Aunt Zipei." Mu Qiqi was setting her mind at ease instead.

"Look, what have I got you?" Su Zipei then took out a box from behind her and showed it to Mu Qiqi. "I had been forced to save up before this, but I really wanted to buy you something you would like. So, here you are..."

It was a mobile phone ”the latest and most expensive model.

"Qiqi, I've already saved my number in it."

Mu Qiqi suddenly felt stirred as she looked at Su Zipei, whose face resembled her own mother and was closer to her.
