Aunt Liu quickly brought out a set of utensils meant for guests and placed it in front of Mu Ling.

Mu Ling noticed the difference in the bowls and chopsticks, but she didn’t mind. “Thank you,” she said.

From the moment Mu Ling appeared, Mu Wan’s gaze was like an icicle, piercing into Mu Ling’s body.

When master Qing had taken Mu Ling away yesterday, she had been wearing a black gown. Now, she had changed into a retro woolen overskirt with a belt around her waist, which made her waist even slimmer. With the pair of vintage black gloves, she looked even more exquisite and elegant! Needless to say, this set of clothes must have been prepared by master Qing!

Detestable! Mu Wan was so jealous that she was about to go crazy. Although she didn’t want to admit that Mu Ling had a good figure, the truth was that this village girl looked good in anything!

“Yo,” she said in a strange tone, ” you didn’t return last night. I don’t know what unspeakable things you did last night!”

When Mu Wan said this, several gazes turned to Mu Ling, as if she had really done something dirty.

Mu Ling had already expected that she would be questioned since she had not returned for the entire night.

Her expression was calm as she indifferently raised her eyes to look at Mu Wan and asked, “Big sister, what are you trying to say?”

Mu Wan adopted a questioning attitude and asked, “Master Qing took you away yesterday, and you only came back now. Who knows what dirty things you’ve done in one day and one night! Mu Ling, I’m warning you, our Mu family is a noble family. We can’t tolerate someone like you who disgraces our family name!”

Qiu Liqin’s face darkened immediately. She had just warned her younger daughter not to do anything reckless, but her elder daughter lost her cool. “Wan, don’t talk nonsense!”

“Mom, what did I say wrong?” Mu Wan’s gaze was venomous as she stared at Mu Ling. “She has just arrived in Beijing today, and she has already started seducing men everywhere. In my opinion, we should send her to the hospital for a check-up to see if she has been touched by any man. Otherwise, she might get some dirty disease and pass it on to us!”

Mu Wan actually just could not take this lying down. She had believed her mother’s analysis, thinking that Mu Ling had offended master Qing and had been taken away. She was still waiting to see Mu Ling’s fate. At best, she would be disfigured or disabled. Who knew that she would come back unscathed! So she was a little flustered. Master Qing didn’t hurt her at all and had even prepared clothes for her. What if master Qing was really bewitched by this little b * tch and fell for her? The position of the young lady of the Zuo family was hers! No one can take it away from me!

Qiu Liqin pretended to be angry and scolded Mu Wan,”What nonsense are you spouting? Little Ling is an obedient child. She’s your little sister, how can you say that about her?”

“I don’t have a sister like her, how embarrassing!”

“Enough!” After saying that, Qiu Liqin gently kicked her elder daughter under the table, signaling her to stop. Mu Ling still hadn’t given up on her inheritance, so if he provoked her, it would be difficult to deal with her. After she signed however… Not to mention that her daughter wanted to teach her a lesson, even she would not let her off!

Mu Wan had been blinded by jealousy. After her mother’s reminder, she calmed down and quickly shut her mouth.

Qiu Liqin looked at Mu Ling with an apologetic expression, “”Xiao Ling, don’t take it to heart. Wan didn’t mean to pick on you. She’s always been like this, but she’s just worried about you, and … If you’re really feeling unwell, you must tell me. I can get the family doctor to come and check on you.”

These words sounded like concern, but they were essentially no different from Mu Wan’s words. Didn’t they all think that Mu Ling had sex with a man last night? Mu Ling was about to vomit. This mother and daughter duo singing the same tune was truly wonderful!

She smiled and looked at Qiu Liqin and Mu Wan. Her eyes were cold, but she said obediently, ” I was with Mr. Zuo the whole time I got home last night. Are you saying that Mr. Zuo has some kind of dirty disease? ”

Hearing this, Qiu Liqin and mu Wan’s faces froze.

“I didn’t say that, don’t you slander me!”

However, there were no loopholes in Mu Ling’s words. When she said that Mu Ling might have been infected, didn’t she mean that it was Lord Qing who had infected her?

She panicked. She had not considered this before …

Mu Ling’s expression remained the same as she looked at mu Wan and indifferently said,”If big sister doesn’t have this intention, I won’t pursue it.”

Mu Wan,”you …” She clutched her neck like someone else and was stunned, unable to say a word.

Qiu Liqin’s face turned dark as well, and she hurriedly explained, “Ling, I’m just worried about you. You didn’t come back last night, so how could we not be worried?”

“Thank you, but I’m fine,” Mu Ling replied.
