The Divine Physician’s Overbearing Wife
Chapter 563: Tian Shen Manor's Mu Family III

“Yes, Master.”

Initially, the master would feel a bit dizzy and sleepy after he drank the medicine. The Mu family had asked the physician from Tian Shen Manor to investigate the medicine’s ingredients.

And they found out that this spirit herb was really capable of curing of the old man’s body.

Whenever Chen Qingyan served the old man herbal soup, he would check if the herbal soup was poisonous before he handed it to the old man.

However, the old man would still think that Chen Qingyan had put poison in the herbal soup and he would smash it, causing his body to grow weaker as he was not taking any of the herbal soup at all.

Today, he had hidden the herbal soup at first. Otherwise, the old man would not be able to hold on any longer…

“Butler, can we stop the wicked woman from brewing the herbal soup? My wife was poisoned to death by her mother, what shall we do if she wants to poison me too?” The old man walked to the door and paused. He pursed his lips and said, “I haven’t lived enough yet, I don’t really want to die.”

The old butler looked a little helpless and said, “I have tried to stop her from brewing the herbal soup before. But then, Lady Qingyan kneeled in front of the door for three days and three nights to show her filial piety toward the Mu family and had even passed out. The young manor master was enraged and had ordered to send the spirit herbs to Lady Qingyan directly. Therefore… she’s the only one who’s able to brew spirit herbs as they are all in her hands. We can’t do anything.”

Back then, those people would never dare to serve the master with only one portion of spirit herb, neither would they hand the only portion of spirit herb to Lady Qingyan.

But now… the person in charge of the Mu family was not the master anymore.

“But I would sleep for days and nights every time after I drink the herbal soups. What if I missed the turkey soup prepared by Suyi? Also, I still prefer the herbal soups prepared by Suyi, which did not make me sleep for so long.” The old man’s eyes were flooded with sadness.

The old butler smiled bitterly. “But the physician from Tian Shen Manor had told us before that the prescription that Lady Suyi had given you is not as good as the one that Chen Qingyan serves you…”

Tian Shen Manor’s physician had the ultimate power inside the manor. Everybody would listen to his words.

And this physician had always been lofty. He never told a lie.

Therefore, since he had mentioned that, it was natural for the young manor master to believe in his words without any hesitation…

As Mu Ling was holding Chen Qingyan in his arms and entering the backyard, a familiar figure stood in front of him, blocking his path.

The man in front of him looked skinny as his handsome face seemed morbidly pale. He lifted his eyes and glanced at Chen Qingyang, who was in Mu Ling’s arms and frowned slightly. “Elder Brother, you have made Father angry again?”

Mu Ling’s face grew tight. “Second Brother, Qingyan is still your sister-in-law after all. Her name is already written in our family’s genealogy book, and that was consented by all our uncles and relatives. How could you just sit aside and look on without saying anything as she is tortured by our father? Father’s out of his mind, are you too?”

The sick and weak man frowned even tighter. “She is only your concubine, my sister-in-law should be your first wife.”

“I know that you hate Qingyan, but…”

“Elder Brother… ” Mu Qingyin sighed. “I do not hate her. It’s just that you know well that Father doesn’t like her, but why do you still allow her to show up in front of Father? That will not only irritate Father but also make his condition worse. She suffers too, why don’t…”

“Second Brother… ” Chen Qingyan struggled to free herself from Mu Ling’s arms. A firm and gentle smile dawned on her face. “I just want to be filial. If I couldn’t serve the old man on my own, I would feel guilty. It’s nothing to do with Brother Ling, it’s me who wants to take care of Father. No matter how the old man is treating me, after all, he’s still the elder, and I’ll bear whatever that happens.”

Mu Qingyin was speechless.

‘No wonder Father dislikes her so much.’
