Chapter 162: In-Law’s Promise
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Herlyee Translations
Duan Si was speechless and secretly angry.
This Yu Ling was just a second wife, but she wanted to suppress them in every aspect.
Duan Si had never been bullied like this before. Now, for the sake of her son, she really had no choice but to lower herself. However, she really could not suppress the anger in her heart.
Yu Ling felt an inexplicable pleasure in her heart. She had been in the Shen Family for so many years and had always behaved meekly. It was really satisfying to see Madam Mu fawning over her.
Seeing that Duan Si did not look happy, she knew that she had to stop while she was ahead. Hence, she lowered her voice and said, “Sister Duan, I heard that your Old Master is angry with Eldest Young Master are angry?”
Duan Si was stunned. She did not expect Yu Ling to be so well-informed. She said unnaturally, “Our Old Master has always doted on Mu Ci. This time, Mu Ci made Old Master unhappy, but he should be fine in a few days.”
Yu Ling looked at her reproachfully. “I heard that the Old Master was angry because Eldest Young Master didn’t want to be the Mu Family’s heir. Does your Old Master like his eldest grandson that much? What will happen to our Mu En in the future?”
Duan Si immediately burst with joy because of the word “we”. She smiled and said, “You don’t know this. Our Old Master’s favorite is our Mu En! You can rest assured.”
Yu Ling looked at Duan Si, her worry written all over her face.
Hence, Duan Si also lowered his voice. “According to the Mu Family’s rules, only the eldest branch’s eldest son can inherit the position of the head of the family!’
“That’s right. Everyone knows about it!” Yu Ling said.
“But our Eldest Young Master is a cripple!’ Duan Si’s face flickered with joy. At this moment, she completely did not remember that Eldest Young Master Mu Ci was also her biological son!
Seeing that Yu Ling was puzzled,
Duan Si patted Yu Ling’s hand gently. ‘With the Mu Family’s situation, how can we let a disabled person be the head of the family? Moreover, the doctor also said that Mu Ci won’t live long. Instead of waiting for him to die before choosing a new head of the family, why don’t we do it in one go?”
“However, although your Eldest Young Master has always been sickly, it’s not a big deal. This time, it’s also said that he doesn’t have much time left, but he’s married and is having a good time now. I think he’s indeed looking good. In the past, he lived in seclusion, but he’s been coming to our house with his little wife recently and is even getting along with Old Master and Old Madam. Sister Duan, you can’t let your guard down!”
The words “Sister Duan” pulled the two of them closer again.
Duan Si threw the grievances and anger that Yu Ling had given him to the back of her mind and said disdainfully, “So what? Even if Old Master feels sorry for him, he can’t decide everything by himself. There are so many elders in the Mu
Family!”
Duan Si thought of something. “Sister, at this point, I won’t hide it from you.
Although I have two sons, I’m indeed more biased towards Mu En. I hope that Mu En will be more promising in the future, so I’ve been planning for him. Coincidentally, the girl he fell in love with is actually your daughter. I’m extremely happy.”
“We’re both mothers, so we naturally want our child’s future to be good. I’m afraid it’s the same for you and Shen Su. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be so concerned about Mu En’s future. Why don’t we make things clear today? We already know each other’s intentions. There’s no need to play riddles anymore.
What do you think?”
Yu Ling finally revealed a sincere smile. “It’s been hard on Sister’s motherly heart. I only have one daughter. I can’t let her be worse than any child in the Shen Family. She deserves the best!
Duan Si burst with joy. Alright!
Yu Ling stopped smiling and frowned. “But Sister, no matter how good the conditions are, I won’t let my daughter marry a playboy. My daughter has to marry a clean man with no other women around him! This is the most basic requirement. Sister, do you understand?’
Duan Si’s smile froze and she nodded. “Yes, yes, yes. Of course, of course!’
Yu Ling looked at her and smiled.
Duan Si said guiltily, “Mu En has been liked by girls since he was young. There’s nothing we can do about it. However, he’s not a promiscuous person. The girls outside are very crazy now. I keep reminding him to keep his chastity. Moreover, our Old Master is very strict. Don’t worry, Mu En will definitely not let Shen Su down!’
Yu Ling revealed a satisfied smile. “Although we can’t completely make decisions for our children, I can be at ease with Sister’s words. ‘
Duan Si nodded hurriedly.. “Don’t worry, don’t worry! ‘
