Chapter 28

Eldest Madam Is Scolded

“Why?” Mu Ci asked in a hoarse voice.

Duan Si could not help but be stunned.

“Why should Bei Shuo hand over the Snow Pills? Who has the right to make her hand them over? Even if she stole them, did she steal them from the Mu family?” Mu Ci panted as he spoke.

Bei Shuo was also speechless by Duan Si’s unreasonable request, but Mu Ci had no time to be angry now since her attention was on Mu Ci. She pressed the acupuncture point on his hand and said in a low voice, “Don’t speak anymore. Don’t listen anymore! Don’t be angry!”

She turned to look at Liu Ming and said coldly, “Invite them out!”

When Mu Chen heard this, he could not care less about anything else. He turned around and said to everyone, “Get out! All of you! No more talking!”

Liu Ming and Old Jiang quickly stepped forward and gestured for Duan Si and the others to leave.

The doctor and the servants wasted no time and quickly left before the two of them could say anything.

Seeing this, Duan Si became even angrier. “Dad—”

Mu Chen’s face darkened. “Get out!”

Old Jiang lowered his voice and said, “Eldest Madam, let’s talk outside.”

Song Nan also pushed Duan Si gently. “Auntie, let’s go out first. Let’s talk outside.”

At this time, if they angered Mu Chen, they would have no chance of winning.

Duan Si was reluctantly pushed out.

Mu Chen glanced at his pale grandson and sighed. In the end, he did not say anything. He only said to Bei Shuo, “Watch him carefully.”

After seeing Bei Shuo nod, he turned around and walked out.

Bei Shuo helped Mu Ci lie down and smiled. “Sleep well now. You’ll be fine when you wake up.”

Mu Ci took Bei Shuo’s hand. “Don’t leave me.”

Bei Shuo nodded. “Alright, definitely.”

However, Mu Ci was worried. He held Bei Shuo’s hand and fell asleep.

In the living room, Mu Chen sat on the sofa with a dark expression. Old Jiang stood behind the sofa while Liu Ming found a corner for himself.

Seeing this, the doctors quickly bade farewell to Mu Chen and Duan Si.

Duan Si naturally could not take it lying down.

“Dad, no matter what, we should let the doctors check Mu Ci, right? How could we let the country girl do whatever she wants? Mu Ci is my biological son and your biological grandson! We’re his closest relatives. She’s just a little girl of unknown origin. How could we hand over Mu Ci’s life and death to her just because she has Snow Pills?”

Mu Chen looked at Duan Si without saying anything.

Old Master Mu’s deep gaze made Song Nan take a step back as she stood by the side. She hid behind Duan Si and gently pinched her elbow.

Only then did Duan Si notice Old Master Mu’s heavy gaze. She was shocked and quickly shut her mouth.

Mu Chen glanced at the doctors who had left, then retracted his gaze and looked at Duan Si. He then said in a deep voice, “You’re the Eldest Madam and represent the family, so you should have the right demeanor.”

Duan Si trembled involuntarily and lowered her head.

Mu Chen’s voice became even colder. “Are you concerned about Mu Ci’s condition or the medicine in Bei Shuo’s hands? Only you know!”

Duan Si opened her mouth and whispered, “Of course, I’m concerned about Mu Ci’s health.”

Mu Chen looked at her. “Is that so? Have you ever asked Mu Ci whether he was feeling unwell? Have you ever asked how Mu Ci was poisoned? Do you know what poison it was?”

Duan Si could not answer and lowered her eyes.

Mu Chen became even angrier. “All you care about are Bei Shuo’s pills!”

Duan Si wanted to explain, but Mu Chen did not give her a chance to speak. “No matter how much Bei Shuo’s pills are worth, they belong to her. What does it have to do with the Mu family?”

Duan Si muttered softly, “But she’s already married to Mu Ci!”

Mu Chen was furious. “Then why do you keep saying that she’s a wild girl of unknown origin? Have you ever acknowledged her as your daughter-in-law in your heart? If you don’t even treat her like family, how can you demand anything from her? Put away your wild thoughts! I’ve already acknowledged Bei Shuo as my eldest granddaughter-in-law. No matter what Mu Ci’s future is, Bei Shuo is still the eldest young mistress of the Mu family!”

Duan Si did not dare to speak anymore.

However, Song Nan raised her head with a bewildered expression. “Grandpa Mu, didn’t Mu Ci take the Snow Pill? Isn’t it able to revive the dead?”

Mu Chen snorted. “Do you believe in medicine that can revive the dead?”

Song Nan choked, the sparks in her eyes extinguished.

Mu Chen looked at Duan Si. “Go back. There’s no need to come over anymore. I’ll take full responsibility for Mu Ci’s matter. Go back and reflect on your words and actions. Think about how you should be the Eldest Madam of the Mu family and Mu Ci’s mother!”
