The Miracle Doctor's Wife is Not a Weak Lady!

The Old Master’s Anger

Old Master Mu’s words were harsh. Owing to Mu Guo’s indiscretion, Old Master Mu had always been very tolerant of Duan Si. For more than 20 years, he had almost never said harsh words to her. Even when they gave Mu Ci’s medicine to Mu En back then, he only scolded Mu Guo and did not reprimand Duan Si.

Today, it was obvious that Old Master Mu was extremely dissatisfied with her.

However, Duan Si felt extremely aggrieved. This son of hers had never been close to her. Even if she was a little biased towards her youngest son, she was still his biological mother. A son should never bear grudges against his mother.

Song Nan persuaded her gently, “Auntie, let’s go back first. Grandpa Mu is here, so don’t worry. I’m sure Mu Ci will be fine. Don’t always scare yourself. Why don’t I accompany you to pray to Buddha? We’ll ask Buddha to protect Mu Ci.”

Song Nan’s timing was just right. Duan Si said softly, “Dad, in that case, I’ll go back first.”

She was so aggrieved that tears fell from her eyes.

Mu Chen nodded with a dark expression and did not give her any more words of comfort.

After sending Duan Si off, Old Jiang went forward to massage Old Master Mu’s shoulders and head familiarly and said in a low voice, “Old Master, don’t be angry. Eldest Madam is just worried. After all, Eldest Young Master was in such a dangerous situation this time.”

Mu Chen snorted coldly. “You’ve learned to smooth things over too? She’s brainless, so I’m sure she didn’t come up with this on her own. Perhaps some little bastard urged her to forget her place! How much more disappointed does she want Mu Ci to be? She’s not even as good as a stepmother! At least a stepmother can show some respect on account of Mu Ci’s status as the eldest young master. But what about her? What is she trying to do? I really don’t get it!”

Old Jiang did not say anything. He just silently massaged Old Master Mu’s shoulders.

Mu Chen looked up and saw Liu Ming. He was even more furious. “It’s been a day, haven’t you investigated the background of these people? Who did it?”

Liu Ming lowered his head. “Old Master, Ms. Zhang said that she was the one who poured the milk for Young Master but didn’t know it contained poison. She refused to admit it no matter what. She’s Mrs. Zhang’s daughter-in-law and Mrs. Zhang was sent by Eldest Madam.”

Liu Ming paused.

Mu Chen grabbed an apple from a fruit platter and threw it at Liu Ming. “This is the result of your investigation? You’ve been by Mu Ci’s side for so many years, and this is how you protect him? What kind of bullshit conclusion is this?”

Liu Ming did not dodge. He let the apple hit his forehead and stopped talking.

Mu Chen was so angry that he was panting. He gritted his teeth and said, “Investigate! No matter who’s behind it, give me a clear answer! Investigate where that aconitine came from! I want to know its source! I didn’t call the police because of the Mu family’s reputation, but it doesn’t mean giving them a chance to do whatever they want!”

“Get this straight! I’m not afraid of trouble! He’s the young master of the Mu family! I’m still waiting for him to take over the reins! I know he wants to leave the family, but I won’t allow it! He can forget about it! He is the eldest young master of the family!”

Old Jiang’s hand did not stop at all. It was obvious that he was not surprised by Old Master Mu’s words at all.

Liu Ming was stunned. A complicated expression flashed across his face.

Mu Chen was even angrier, but Old Jiang grabbed the fruit again and pressed his arm. “Old Master, don’t be angry. Liu Ming also has his difficulties. He has to listen to Young Master.”

In short, he had pushed all the responsibility and blame to the eldest young master. In any case, he could bear the responsibility.

As expected, Mu Chen glared at Liu Ming and scolded, “Get lost! Go do what you need to do! Replace the staff in this residence immediately! There’s no one around to even serve tea! Let me tell you, Liu Ming, if you let another spy in, I’ll hold you responsible!”

“Yes, Old Master!” This time, Liu Ming answered very quickly and immediately turned to leave.

With Old Master Mu’s orders, he could do things boldly.

Mu Chen let out a long breath. He had yet to finish venting his anger, so he raised his walking stick and swept the fruit plate on the table to the ground.

Old Jiang was a little helpless. “Old Master…”

Mu Chen said angrily, “I just don’t understand how this family has become like this!”

Old Jiang did not know what to say. The problem did not happen overnight. It was no longer clear where the deviation started and who was responsible.
