Murong Feng reached out his hand and tried to pull Murong up, but was thrown away by Murong. "I must ask for the young lady's consent, otherwise Wan'er will not be able to survive."
Upon hearing that his daughter could not survive, Murong Feng stood there in a daze. He then knelt down beside Murong. Although he did not say a word, his attitude was very clear.
Cousin Haochuan will be leaving the island soon, and Yan Muxi doesn't want him to have a feast before leaving, so as not to make things worse.
"City Lord Murong, please leave first. I have something to say to Madam Murong alone."
Seeing Murong Feng kneeling without moving, Yan Muxi asked again: "Why, City Lord Murong is afraid that I will bully your wife?"
Although Murong Feng was worried about Murong, he still left the house as he was told.
Besides Yin Xia, only Yan Muxi and Murong were left in the room. Murong was still kneeling on the ground, and Yan Muxi did not call her to stand up. He said in a calm voice, "I heard that Madam Murong was born as a concubine of an official family in Jiangnan, and her biological aunt was a slave. Madam Murong must have seen her aunt being tortured by the mistress since she was a child, right?"
Ignoring the shock in Murong's eyes, Yan Muxi continued, "My cousin has already married a wife. If Miss Wan'er insists on following my cousin, she can only be a concubine. Madam Murong knows better than anyone that concubines are just toys for men to play with, and are no different from slaves in the eyes of the mistress. My sister-in-law is not a person who is easy to get along with. Madam Murong really has the heart to let her daughter become a concubine of my cousin?"
"Wan'er has been in love with Mr. Qian for a long time. Now the two of them have done something inappropriate. I hope Miss can have mercy on my Wan'er." Murong's tone was hesitant. She did not mention letting her daughter be a concubine. It was probably never her idea to let Murong Wan be a concubine.
Since she didn't say it clearly, Yan Muxi also played dumb, "Since Madam Murong has made up her mind to let Miss Wan'er be her concubine, how can I not make it happen? I will talk to my cousin later and try my best to persuade him to marry Miss Wan'er. But, Madam Murong needs to discuss such a big matter as the Murong family marrying off their daughter with the Murong clan leader?"
Murong's heart skipped a beat and she subconsciously looked up at Yan Muxi. When she met the mockery in his eyes, she was instantly panicked.
The woman in front of her actually knew about the affair between her and Murong Tian!
The panic was only for a moment, and Murong quickly calmed down. The other party threatened her with Murong Tian privately, which must be just a guess. There was no evidence of her and Murong Tian having an affair. If there was evidence, she could just hand it over to Murong Feng. There was no need to pretend to be nice to her.
"Wan'er's parents are still here. Once the marriage is settled, just inform your brother." Murong said tentatively.
"But I think that Madam Murong would be better off discussing this with the head of the Murong clan, so that the other party won't cause a rift again because of the 'niece'." Yan Muxi insisted on the word niece.
Now Murong was sure that Yan Muxi really knew about her affair with Murong Tian.
After weighing the pros and cons in her mind, Murong Shi didn't dare to break off relations with Yan Muxi, fearing that Yan Muxi would really make the situation between her and Murong Tian worse.
Even if there is no evidence by then, she will arouse Murong Feng's suspicion, and it will be difficult to clear herself of the dirt.
After a moment of silence, Murong heaved a long sigh of relief. "I thought about it and felt that what the young lady said made sense. After my husband and I have discussed it with Wan'er's uncle, it won't be too late to discuss her marriage."
Yan Muxi raised the corners of her lips, "Mrs. Murong is truly a good mother who cares about her children wholeheartedly."
After seeing the couple off, Yan Muxi asked Jin Chun, "When I mentioned Murong Tian just now, how did Murong Feng react?"
Yan Muxi arranged Murong Feng to stay in a room separated by a curtain. He heard every word of her conversation with Murong.
"Murong Feng's brows were twisted into the shape of a "川" character, which means he must have started to have doubts." Jin Chun said truthfully.
Yan Muxi smiled with satisfaction, "It's good to be suspicious! I've exposed it to him. If he doesn't suspect anything, he's not just stupid, he's really stupid!"
"Since Murong Wan is Murong Tian's flesh and blood, why don't you verify it directly to Murong Feng?" Jin Chun asked doubtfully.
Minghui has a pill that can verify the parent-child relationship. It will be clear with just one test whether Murong Wan is Yan Mufeng's biological daughter.
Yan Muxi asked Jin Chun, "But what if Murong Wan is Murong Feng's biological daughter? How would you handle it?"
Jin Chun was confused. "Didn't Murong say that Murong Wan was Murong Tian's daughter?"
"A scheming woman's words are the most untrustworthy when she is trying to coax a man. Murong Tian might have been deceived by the Murong family. What if Murong Wan is Murong Feng's biological daughter? If we rush to verify it for others, it will only prove the Murong family's innocence."
After listening to Yan Muxi's analysis, Jin Chun was speechless and had to admit that this was indeed possible.
Over the years, Murong Tian took great pains to collect commercial taxes, while Murong family sat firmly in the City Lord's Mansion and did nothing, but most of the money collected fell into Murong family's hands.
Murong is really not a simple woman, as she can play the brothers Murong Feng and Murong Tian at her will.
Murong Feng was dragged out of Magnolia Garden by Murong Shi. Seeing that they were getting farther and farther away, Murong Feng could not help but ask, "Aren't you going to fight for Wan'er? Are you going to just let it go like this?"
Murong was thinking about something in her mind and did not notice the suspicion in Murong Feng's eyes. She said with a trembling voice, "Forget it. Our Wan'er doesn't have that kind of luck!"
"Why? Wan'er is willing to commit suicide to marry Mr. Qian. As parents, we should try harder to fight for her." Murong Feng paused and refused to move forward.
Murong turned around and tears fell before she could say anything. "I am afraid that Wan'er will be bullied after marrying into the Qian family. I am also afraid that if we push the Qian family too far, they will do something..."
If it were in the past, Murong Feng would have hugged her and comforted her when he saw her crying, but now he was full of doubts and just said perfunctorily: "The island owner and Mr. Qian are kind-hearted, not the kind of people you think."
Murong Feng couldn't understand. Yan Muxi only mentioned his eldest brother and didn't say any other excessive threatening words. Why did his wife change her mind?
Last night, Murong Wan made a big fuss after returning home, insisting on marrying Qian Haochuan. Even after learning that Qian Haochuan was already married, she was willing to be his concubine.
Murong Feng slapped Murong Wan in anger, but when he woke up in the morning, the servant who served Murong Wan came to report that Murong Wan had committed suicide.
When Murong Feng and Murong Shi hurriedly arrived, Murong Wan had already been let down from the beam by servants. There was a horrifying mark on her neck, which showed that she really wanted to commit suicide.
The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried for a long time. Murong Feng was so annoyed by his daughter's behavior that he finally nodded and agreed to shamelessly mediate on his daughter's behalf.
When it comes to his daughter's life, Murong Feng couldn't understand why his wife would compromise so easily.
The couple returned to Sakura Garden. Murong Wan started crying again when she learned that the marriage had not been finalized.
"Wuwuwu... I want to marry Mr. Qian, I want... Mother lied to me, mother clearly said..."
Murong interrupted sternly, "Wan'er, stop talking nonsense. You are a girl from the boudoir. If this gets out, your reputation will be ruined!"
Murong Wan was spoiled to the point of being fearless, except for the fact that Murong would get angry. After being scolded, she pouted and cried, not daring to shout about marrying Qian Haochuan anymore.
Murong turned to look at Murong Feng, and with red eyes she advised: "My husband, please go out first. I will try to persuade Wan'er. She will surely understand."
Murong Feng stared at the mother and daughter, stunned for a moment before turning around and leaving the room.
Once people become suspicious, they will find everything suspicious. The wife could clearly control her daughter, so why did she indulge her daughter in misbehavior before?
