His gaze fell onto the young man who was standing on the surface of the water. His eyes darkened and there seemed to be an indescribable secret in his eyes.

In the pavilion.
Little Qing Han raised her little head. She looked up at Suyi innocently.
"Grandma Suyi, how did Father know that Mother is here? Mother didnt want him to know and thats why she didnt tell her."
Suyi was stunned.
Why would Nan Xian know about her whereabouts when Feng Ruqing did not tell him herself?
"Qing Han, you dont have to ask anymore. I know now."
Feng Ruqing closed her eyes slowly. She opened her eyes after a while.
No wonder
No wonder she slept so soundly when she was at Fengyun Manor.
But what Nan Xian didnt know was that she was still aware of her surroundings even when in deep sleep.
Feng Ruqing thought that she had felt that way because she missed Nan Xian deeply.
But, it seemed not to be the truth after much consideration.
Was the state preceptor following her?
Suyi seemed baffled. She did not know what had happened.
"Qinger"
"Suyi!"
Suddenly, a familiar voice interrupted Suyi.
"Suyi, why didnt you inform me about your return?" Mu Ling frowned slightly. "If you had told me, I would have ordered someone to go and fetch you."
Suyi tilted her head and looked at Mu Ling calmly. "Are you satisfied with the concubine I have sent you? If youre not, I dont mind sending you more concubines. Oh, thats right. I have forgotten about that. Youre infertile now."
Mu Lings face darkened. He clenched his fists tightly. "Youre really the one who has done that, Suyi! You were not like that in the past. When did you become so cruel?"
Mu Ling went to meet Suyi because he wanted to talk with her calmly. But, what Suyi had said hurt him. The excitement on his face disappeared completely.
"Suyi, dont forget that youre the young lady of the Mu family!" Mu Ling was infuriated. "What good does it bring you even if you did that?"
Suyi smiled calmly. "Dont you want to continue pretending here?"
"You" Mu Ling was outrageous. "Suyi, why dont you learn from Qingyan. You have always claimed that Qingyan cannot be compared to you. But, she has been managing the entire Mu family in an orderly manner. The entire household praises her. Did any of the elders or servants praise you when you were there before? They were filled with complaints."
Suyi clenched her fists tightly. Her face paled.
The old master had always been weak since the beginning. Therefore, he had given Suyi the right to manage the entire Mu family.
