Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Yuan Family Mansion was located mid-hill on the Autumn View Mountain at the North zone of Luo Hai City.

Legend had it that a Taoist Priest once practiced Feng Shui ¹ on this land and said that it had the roots of an emperor. ² Therefore, several generations of high-ranking officials and nobles had settled down in this area, forming a relatively large scale region filled with constructions.

The Yuan Family Mansion was built in the style of Ming and Qing dynasties!

Since the ancestors of the Yuan Family were once officials in Anhui, traces of Hui styled architecture could be observed on the structure of the pavilion.

There were three different houses located at the innermost to the outermost area of the mansion. Yuan Old Mistress of the Yuan Family lived in the innermost house.

After the death of the old man, the one who lived here would be the one with the greatest and most respected status in the Yuan Family!

Yuan Old Mistress had three sons and a daughter. Yuan Xuan’s father, Yuan Tangbai, was the eldest son, Yuan Tangzhong was the second son, and Yuan Tangshuo was the youngest son.

Yuan Tangbai had his eldest child, Yuan Xuan, at the late age of 37.

Yuan Tangzhong and Yuan Tangshuo each had a son and a daughter!

Yuan Xuan’s mother had a weak physique and was bedridden for many years. Since it was impossible for her to conceive another child, Yuan Xuan became the only successor to the eldest child of the family.

Back when Yuan Xuan five years old, Yuan Tangbai led an army to the West and calmed down several civil disorders. However, it was both a blessing and also a misfortune!

The King’s order of commendation arrived on the same day that Yuan Tangbai was sacrificed! Yuan Xuan’s mother was mourning so much that she passed away...

Yuan Old Mistress pitied her grandchild since he lost his parents at such a young age. Therefore, she stayed by his side and looked after him personally!

Her affection towards him was undoubtedly greater than her other grandchildren.

Even so, Yuan Xuan’s character still remained cold and arrogant even when he grew up to be an adult!

He avoided getting into his father’s career. Perhaps because he did not receive any parental love since young, he was more or less repulsive towards any matter regarding the military.

Yuan Family’s hundred years of political rights and authority naturally fell into the hands of the second and third son!

That said, Yuan Old Mistress was actually the core of the Yuan Family. Thus, the core rights of the Yuan Family naturally fell into the hands of Yuan Xuan!

Although Yuan Xuan was not involved in politics or military, everyone clearly knew that he was the one with the utmost rights in Luo Hai City. He was barely even 30 years old.

In Yuan Xuan’s opinion, even if he chose to give up on politics and venture into business, he was capable to build and establish his own rightful empire!

As a matter of fact, successfully establishing a business empire had brought the Yuan Family up another level!

The car drove into the courtyard of the Yuan Mansion. Several helpers with strong physiques came forward. They all wore uniforms and had a solemn look on their faces.

The leader of the group politely said to Butler Fu, “Butler Fu, before Young Master left, he sent me to give you a message. Upon your return, please bring Young Mistress to the Hibiscus Garden to rest and do not disturb Old Mistress!”

Butler Fu nodded and waved his hands at the few helpers, “I understand. The few of you, stay alert and guard the garden well! Do not let anyone enter and leave without permission!”

The few of them acknowledged him with a solemn look.

Mu Chenyan smiled lightly. This was a hint that she will not be able to leave without permission after entering the garden.

Of course, she knew about the Hibiscus Garden. It was a small house where the Old Mistress personally built for Yuan Xuan after he became an adult. It was located right beside the core building of the garden!

Yuan Xuan instructed her to go to the Hibiscus Garden, yet he did not want her to bother the Old Mistress. It was clearly because of the “scandal” from two years ago.

Despite the social status of the Yuan Family, the wife to their noble successor was actually a “murderer”?

Back then, the Old Mistress was extremely furious and she wanted to cancel the wedding!

Chenyan thought that they would have definitely divorced her, so she waited in prison for the Yuan Family to send a divorce agreement. Unexpectedly, after waiting for long, they did not do so!!

Moreover, Yuan Xuan actually brought her back here and her identity was still the incomparably noble Young Mistress. Even Mu Chenyan herself found that difficult to believe!

At this point, how could the Yuan Family allowed such a tainted woman to become their daughter-in-law? Mu Chenyan remained puzzled even after pondering over it repeatedly.

There was only one rational explanation to all these unreasonable situations.

The reason why she was brought back to the Hibiscus Garden could be another form of punishment that Yuan Xuan had planned!!

Due to the lack of evidence, the prosecutor’s allegations had failed?

She knew clearly in her heart that the lack of evidence was just an excuse!

The evidence will never be enough because she never murdered anybody. Furthermore, she will never do something so cruel to the fetus’ body.

However, a 700-day long of jail time punishment still befell on her!

Public opinion was still accusing towards her.

Even if she was not able to figure it out in one or two days, but she finally understood a fact after 700 days. Whether or not she was guilty, it all depended on Yuan Xuan’s words!!
