Hidden Marriage: Spoiled by the Imperial Commander-Chapter 335: Ah Lie Won’t Blame You

Having said that, Yan Qianyi carefully observed Old Master Mu’s expression.

Old Master Mu looked somewhat surprised, "What a coincidence?"

"Yes."

Old Master Mu reminisced for a moment, "I wasn’t at home at the time, but the nearest hospital from here is indeed Yan’s Hospital."

Yan Qianyi said with a pained expression, "If my mother could have saved Ah Lie’s father back then, Ah Lie’s childhood wouldn’t have been so bleak. I don’t even dare to let Ah Lie know about this, fearing that he would take his anger out on me."

Old Master Mu’s face was filled with disbelief, "Why would you think that? Although Ah Lie is a bit of a loner, he’s not unreasonable. He wouldn’t blame you. Besides, doctors are just doctors, not gods. How could they possibly snatch someone from the hands of death every time?"

"Do you really think so? You don’t blame my mother for not saving your son back then?"

"Of course." Old Master Mu nodded and sighed, "I heard later that when my third son jumped from the building, he was already close to dying. It must have hurt him a lot..."

"I’m sorry to have brought up such painful memories."

"It’s all right, it’s been so many years, and those of us who are alive must look forward. Old Master Mu smiled, coming to terms with the past and consoling Yan Qianyi in return.

"I know your mother also passed away two years ago. You and Ah Lie both lost your mothers at an early age. You need to keep each other warm. When you eventually have your own little families and your own children, the focus will shift, and the pain of the past will gradually fade away. Everything will get better."

Unconsciously, Yan Qianyi placed her hand on her stomach.

The emergence of a new life indeed brings new vitality and change.

"You’re pregnant?" Old Master Mu asked, his eyes flashing with excited joy.

"No!" Yan Qianyi quickly said, "I’m not planning on having children so soon."

Old Master Mu nodded, "There’s no rush, indeed. Besides, both of you have such good fertility. You can have children anytime you want, and you’re still young. You’re still a child yourself; you should have more fun before you decide to have children."

Yan Qianyi couldn’t help but laugh.

She had not at all expected Old Master Mu to be so open-minded.

From the probing just now, it was clear that Old Master Mu was completely unaware of that year’s ’medical incident.’

He didn’t even know that her mother was the one who had operated on Mu Feng.

While that didn’t completely rule out a connection between her mother’s death and the Mu Family—considering how large the family was and the number of other people involved—it at least made her feel much more at ease for the moment.

Just then, Mu Huaner arrived and was surprised to see Yan Qianyi and Old Master Mu chatting so happily.

Old Master Mu was known to have a quirky personality and rarely engaged in such pleasant conversations.

There was no one in the family who wasn’t afraid of him.

His eldest son was now a middle-aged man, and their father would still hit him for any misstep.

It seemed to be a case of loving the house and its crow.

Mu Huaner spoke up, "Dad, it’s time to go out and meet the guests."

Old Master Mu glared at her, "Can’t you see I’m talking to Qianyi?"

"There will be plenty of time to chat later," Mu Huaner said helplessly, stepping forward and noticing that Old Master Mu’s suit was wrinkled, she sighed.

"Have you been laying on the ground to fight crickets again? How many times have I told you, lying on the ground can easily catch a chill, and with your legs always aching, you should be even more careful."

"Not at all." Old Master Mu’s face was stern, "Stop your nagging."

Mu Huaner didn’t dare say any more, "Then let me take you to change your clothes."

Hearing this, Yan Qianyi stood up and said, "I’ll go to the banquet hall first."

Mu Huaner replied, "I’ll have someone show you the way."

Yan Qianyi, "No need, I’d like to walk around on my own. If I can’t find the way, I can ask someone."

Mu Huaner, "Okay, then take a stroll by yourself." freewebnøvel.coɱ

Old Master Mu’s face brightened with a smile again, "Qianyi, treat this place like your own home, feel free, and don’t hesitate to instruct the servants if you need anything."

"Okay, thank you, Old Master Mu, see you later."

Yan Qianyi left first.

Old Master Mu watched her retreating figure and nodded in satisfaction, then said to Mu Huaner, "Ah Lie certainly has good taste."

Mu Huaner smiled indifferently, "She is quite beautiful, but even the most beautiful faces will age one day."

"I’m not talking about her looks, but about her inner qualities."

"You have only chatted with her briefly; you’ve already seen her inner qualities?"

"At least she understands crickets."

"What could she possibly understand?"

"Forget it, you wouldn’t understand. It’s like playing the lute to a cow. Let’s go."

Mu Huaner frowned slightly.

Yan Qianyi was very proactive about visiting the Mu Family; she must have done her homework beforehand.

It seemed that Old Master Mu’s affection wasn’t just a case of loving everything related to his loved ones.

It was also because Yan Qianyi knew how to cater to his interests, winning over Old Master Mu’s heart.

To bewitch Ah Lie to such an extent, she truly was no simple woman.

Yan Qianyi was strolling through the Mu Family’s mansion grounds alone.

Suddenly, she overheard the chattering voices of a few girls ahead.

Three girls were surrounding one girl, who was pushed to the ground, her face obscured.

"Do you think you’re something special just because you’ve managed to get into the Mu Family?"

"I see that Young Master Lin has been getting close to you lately, haven’t you been seducing him?"

"You’d really do anything to help your dad’s business, huh?"

"You couldn’t even get through the Mu Family’s front door in the past, and this year your family actually got an invitation. Tell the truth, did you sleep with some big shot?"

The three girls were aggressive, occasionally reaching out to pull the hair and skirt of the girl on the ground.

Daughters of the elite circles often behaved this way, judging status by their family background.

Those of lower status would be ostracized and bullied if they failed to cozy up to those of higher status.

Yan Qianyi didn’t want to interfere, as her visit to the Mu Family today was to gather information to see if there were any suspicious people related to her mother’s car accident.

And since Ah Lie didn’t want to recognize his lineage, she needed to keep a low profile.

Just as she was about to turn in another direction, she suddenly heard one of the girls say, "Think you’re so great because you got into the Federation Military Academy? Your dad still has to serve tea and water to my dad."

Federation Military Academy?

Since they were fellow alumni... she couldn’t just stand by.

Yan Qianyi changed direction and walked over with the taps of her black high heels.

"Students of the Federation Military Academy, having passed military training, are military personnel with ranks. Who gave you the audacity to insult and bully a soldier?"

Hearing Yan Qianyi’s voice, the three girls lifted their heads.

The girl sitting on the ground also looked up.

It was Wang Shanshan!

Yan Qianyi stopped in her tracks.

Oh dear, it seems I’ve helped the wrong person.

But she had already made a cool entrance, and if she turned around and left now, they would surely think she was scared.

No, no, she didn’t want anyone to think of her as a coward.
