Chapter 851: The Distressed Old Master of the Mu Family V

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Qin Fei’er was burning with jealousy; it felt like an army of ants was nibbling on her heart. However, she held back the jealousy because the person standing before her was Qin Chen.

If marrying Feng Ruqing could ease Qin Chen’s anger, it was not a big deal for the Qin family. Perhaps, if Qin Fei’er could touch Qin Chen’s heart by doing this, he would no longer be cold and distant toward her.

After all, Qin Fei’er owed Qin Chen too much.

Qin Chen did not say anything. He merely walked past Qin Fei’er and did not even spare a glance at her.

Qin Fei’er stood, dazed, on the spot, watching Qin Chen leaving. She could feel a sense of sorrow lingering in her heart.

Qin Fei’er lowered her head and smiled wryly. Perhaps, Qin Chen was upset the moment Qin Fei’er had chosen to set her dignity aside and accept the arranged marriage.

It was alright. Qin Fei’er knew that Qin Chen would understand her someday. When he truly loved someone, he would not hesitate to sacrifice everything for her.

Moreover, the chief manor had called off the arranged marriage. Hence, the Mu family had no other choices. Qin Fei’er’s father would not let her be Nan Xian’s concubine. She would be Nan Xian’s first wife.

Qin Fei’er did not notice that there was a turquoise bird resting on the tree branch above her head.

After Qin Chen had left, the turquoise bird soared into the air and disappeared in the distance. Even if Qin Fei’er had seen the bird, she would never have noticed anything different about it.

In the courtyard, Qing Han was resting her head on Feng Ruqing’s lap.

“Mother! Mother! Emerald is back!”

Seeing the turquoise bird, Qing Han broke into laughter. She got up and raised her finger so that the turquoise bird could rest on it.

‘Emerald’ was the name of the turquoise bird. It was named after its color. The turquoise bird was the most common spirit beast that could hardly cultivate.

“Emerald, have the people of the Qin family been bullying Uncle Qin Chen in the past few days? Is Uncle Qin Chen my biological uncle?” Qing Han blinked as she asked.

Chirp! Chirp!

Emerald kept chirping for a long while, but Feng Ruqing did not know what it was talking about.

Qing Han seemed to understand what the bird was saying. She turned her head to look at Feng Ruqing.

“Mother, Emerald said that originally the villains of the Qin family were mad, but Qin Fei’er had convinced them otherwise. Hence, no one has punished him.”

Feng Ruqing frowned slightly. Was she wrong? Qin Fei’er was really treating Qin Chen so well?

“Mother, Emerald is here to tell us that it would return to the Qin family to collect more information. Emerald II and Emerald III are still in the Qin family.

“Mother, is Uncle Qin Chen your biological brother?”

Feng Ruqing pursed her lips together and did not say anything.

Unlike Hua Xia, there was no paternity test to determine whether Qin Chen was Feng Ruqing’s biological brother. Although there was an ancient blood test that could verify the blood’s familial affinity, it was not reliable and was prone to error.

Moreover, the emperor and empress were not around, there was no way to do the ancient blood test.

“It would be great if there is a way that could affirm the blood’s familial affinity directly.” Feng Ruqing reached out to rub her aching temples.

As Feng Ruqing was not sure of the relationship between Qin Chen and herself, she had never told Qin Chen about this.

Fortunately, Qing Han was capable of communicating with the spirit beasts after she had woken. Hence, Feng Ruqing had used some Divine-Spirit Fruits to recruit some minor spirit beasts to collect information for her.
