Late at night, the autumn breeze was chilly, and the moonlight was hazy. The hibiscus tree in front of Hibiscus Garden was stained red.
Yuan Xuan stood on the balcony with a cigarette between his fingers. Between the sparks, a trace of worry flashed across the man's face. He took a deep puff of the cigarette and turned to look at the woman on the bed. There were still traces of ambiguity on her smooth arms.
Time flew. They had known each other for 14 years. They had been married for three years, but they had only been together for less than a year.
Every time he wanted her, he would lose control.
He could not help but leave marks on her body.
It was as if he was leaving a mark on his territory to declare his sovereignty. This woman belonged to him!
Naturally, Yuan Xuan knew the source of this kind of worry.
Shen Muqiu's men had already clashed with Mu Chenwu's men several times in the Southeast region.
Mu Feng might still be alive!
Yuan Xuan's first reaction when he heard this news was Mu Chenyan.
Mu Feng knew that Yuan Xuan's weakness was Mu Chenyan.
He had used this to threaten Yuan Xuan in the past.
Wu Ze seemed to be in a good mood when he received Mu Chenyan's call. "Chenyan, you finally know to call me if something happens!"
Mu Chenyan's heart warmed. She said in a low voice, "Big Brother Wu, I hope this case won't be too difficult for you."
Wu Ze thought about it and said faintly, "Chenyan, it's impossible to plead not guilty in this case!"
"Yes, I know!"
"The best outcome would be to reduce his sentence by a few years or to keep him alive."
Wu Ze's voice became solemn as he said, "Yuan Tangzhong won't let Zheng Shuyan off so easily. After all, he killed the only heir of the Yuan Family's second son!"
This was exactly what Mu Chenyan was most worried about.
"Big Brother Wu, I'll have to trouble you to plan for the best!"
"Don't worry. No one else in Luo Hai can handle a case that I can't handle. I'll do my best to help you. However, will you be able to withstand the pressure from the Yuan Family?"
"Yuan Xuan will help me!"
Wu Ze chuckled and lamented, "Since when did Third Young Master Yuan become a slave to his wife?"
Mu Chenyan was a little embarrassed.
After she hung up, Mu Chenyan thought of Wen Ya. She should inform her so that she would not worry.
Wen Ya was still living in Upper Mansion. Other than Yuan Tian and Yuan Xuan, no one else in the Yuan Family knew about her relationship with Zheng Shuyan. Therefore, when the murderer turned himself in, the Yuan Family's reaction was completely different from Wen Ya's.
Mu Chenyan did not want to see Old Mistress. She sent a message to Wen Ya and asked her to meet her in the garden between Upper Mansion and Hibiscus Garden.
It was already the beginning of autumn, and the leaves in the garden were brilliant in color.
Mu Chenyan wore a coffee-colored velvet sweater and waited among the red and yellow leaves. Wen Ya, on the other hand, was wearing a white sweater. Her face was getting paler.
"Lawyer Wu has agreed to accept the case."
Mu Chenyan pulled Wen Ya over and sat on a chair in the garden. Wen Ya was so touched that she started crying. "Chenyan, this is all thanks to you …"
"温雅, we still don't know the final outcome of this matter, so don't thank me yet. Now that you're living in the Yuan Family, they still don't know about your relationship with Zheng Shuyan. That's good too, lest there be more complications! "
Wen Ya nodded. "Except for Qinger. She seems to be very interested in the case these few days. She keeps asking questions!"
Mu Chenyan's heart ached at the mention of Shu Qinger. She frowned, and the corners of her mouth sank. "It's better to avoid her no matter what. She's not a good person after all!"
When she thought about how Shu Qinger used Xia Tao to get rid of her and Su Qingcheng in City C, and even planned to kill Liang Zihan as revenge, Mu Chenyan's impression of Shu Qinger was hard to change.
Moreover, Shu Qinger was advancing step by step and staying in the Yuan Family. Mu Chenyan felt that this woman was evil to the bone.
"Yes, I know. She's very different from before when she came back this time."
A hint of hesitation flashed in Wen Ya's eyes.
Mu Chenyan wanted to say that the Shu Qinger they saw in the past was also her disguise. She had always been like this.
After thinking about it, she decided to let it go. After all, this matter had nothing to do with Wen Ya.
"Chenyan, Qinger, you have to be careful …"
Wen Ya hesitated for a while and hesitated to say something.
Mu Chenyan read a trace of uneasiness in Wen Ya's hesitant eyes.
"Don't worry, I believe in Yuan Xuan!"
Mu Chenyan said firmly.
The reason why she had never treated Shu Qinger as an opponent was because of her trust in Yuan Xuan.
Wen Ya nodded. "That's true, but …"
Wen Ya suddenly could not bear to continue. Since Mu Chenyan trusted Yuan Xuan so much …
"Wen Ya, did you hear something? Tell me!"
Mu Chenyan had a bad feeling in her heart.
"A while ago, before Yuan Zhe's incident, the Old Mistress already had the idea of getting Yuan Xuan to divorce you …"
Wen Ya was halfway through her sentence when she observed Mu Chenyan's expression. When Mu Chenyan heard this, her heart skipped a beat. She pursed her lips and her gaze was indifferent.
"It's not the first or second time that the Old Mistress doesn't like me. Previously, she didn't know that Shu Qinger was still alive. She couldn't possibly force her grandson to marry a woman who had undergone a heart transplant. Now that she knows that this woman is Qinger, she naturally won't let go of this opportunity! "
Wen Ya sighed and continued, "The Old Mistress is confused. Yuan Xuan was originally in love with you. Why would she do this?!"
"She raised Qinger single-handedly. At that time, Yuan Xuan was also by the Old Mistress' side. Hence, she had a plot. When they were young, she watched the two children around her knees. If they could get together as adults, they would revolve around her. Of course, it suited her. "
Mu Chenyan smiled coldly. "After getting together with me, Yuan Xuan's energy shifted to me and became distant from the Old Mistress. She just couldn't stand it!"
Wen Ya saw that Mu Chenyan's analysis was completely reasonable. She could not help but admire her rationality.
"Recently, I've been living in Upper Mansion. The Old Mistress mentioned it a few times. I'm sure you can guess the reason." Wen Ya sighed as she spoke. "I've been married to Yuan Zhe for a few years, but we haven't had a son or daughter. Then, this devil was executed …"
"A few days ago, the Old Mistress told Yuan Xuan that there was no news of Chenyan for a long time. The Yuan Family's bloodline might be cut off!"
Hearing Wen Ya's words, Mu Chenyan could imagine the situation at that time. She sneered. Now, she could not tell Wen Ya that she had been secretly taking contraceptives.
"What did Yuan Xuan say?" Mu Chenyan was very concerned about Yuan Xuan's attitude.
Deep down, Wen Ya still felt that it was better not to say it. However, she was worried about Mu Chenyan's future. "Yuan Xuan only said to wait and see …"
Mu Chenyan's heart trembled.
She initially thought that Yuan Xuan would directly tell the Old Mistress that regardless of whether she was pregnant or not, he would insist on being with her until the end.
However, it turned out that he was only making a decision to wait and see.
A certain part of her heart was touched. Even the usual tender and sweet feelings had turned into sarcasm.
Every night of entanglement had turned into a mission …
Wen Ya saw that Mu Chenyan's expression had turned ugly. She knew that she had said too much. "Chenyan, don't think too much. I'm just reminding you to be prepared in many aspects."
"You and I are different. I have no feelings for Yuan Zhe. Now that he's dead, it's inevitable for me to leave the Yuan Family. Everything here has nothing to do with me. I don't want to take it away either."
As Wen Ya spoke, she held Mu Chenyan's hand and spoke earnestly.
"You can't be too foolish. You still have your mother in the hospital. If the Yuan Family becomes unjust in the future, you must have some capital in your hands. Do you understand? "
