538: Scheming

Scheming

Mu Qing wished he could strangle Liang Zhou to death with his own hands. However, at this moment, the most important thing for him was to find a way to leave this place immediately. His gaze unconsciously drifted to the exit. Alas, he was too far away from the exit. However, if he waited until Liang Zhou was finished spouting her nonsense, it would be too late by then.1

Mu Qing quietly leaned down toward the elders and said in a low voice, "Second Granduncle, do you think we should leave. This is a family matter, after all. If we expose it to outsiders, our family's reputation will be over."

Second Granduncle Mu mulled over it for a moment before he nodded. "You have a point. Bring your wife away. Don't air our family's dirty laundry for all to see. We'll talk about everything when we're home. Mu Chen's wife isn't in the wrong, but she's too unruly. She needs to be disciplined when we return!"

Mu Qing said tentatively, "Second Granduncle, Liang Zhou and I are planning to get a divorce recently. If I step forward and speak now, it'd be like adding fuel to the fire."

This was the first that the elders of the Mu family had heard of Mu Qing's intention to get a divorce. They were all surprised. Mu Qing and Liang Zhou had always been a loving couple. Moreover, Mu Qing was in this state now because he wanted to divorce Liang Zhen and marry Liang Zhou. Now, Mu Qing actually wanted a divorce? How could they not be shocked?

Mu Qing looked at the elders of the Mu family with pleading eyes.

Second Granduncle Mu glared at Mu Qing briefly before he turned to look at Mu Chen.

Coincidentally, Mu Chen was looking at them as well.

With that, Second Granduncle Mu motioned for Mu Chen to come over.

Mu Chen walked over and looked at Mu Qing as he asked Second Granduncle Mu, "What do you have to say?"

Second Granduncle Mu's attitude was very sincere. He said earnestly, "Mu Chen, these are our family affairs. Let's go home and talk about it. There's no need to air our dirty laundry. It's really embarrassing."

Mu Chen looked at Second Granduncle Mu, who had the highest seniority in the family, before he suddenly burst out laughing. Then, he said, "Whether Song Ning is my wife or not is also our family affairs. Didn't I still have to make such a scene to resolve the matter? Since we're already here, let's not do things half-heartedly. We've already embarrassed ourselves as it is. If we're truthful to the public, at the very least, we can still redeem ourselves. Second Granduncle, what do you think?"

Second Granduncle Mu could not help but avert his gaze when he saw Mu Chen's icy gaze.

Mu Chen took two steps back and spread his arms as he smiled at the elders of the Mu family and said, "I didn't expect the elders of our family would come today. Didn't you come to get a clarification on the matter? The person who invited you here is more thoughtful than I am. All of you should just stay and watch what happens. Treat it as though you're listening to a story."

The elders of the Mu family whispered among themselves for a moment before they nodded

Finally, Second Granduncle Mu said to Mu Qing, "Then, we'll stay and listen to what she has to say. If she continues spouting nonsense, you can divorce her as you want."

Mu Qing suppressed the anger in his heart and looked at Mu Chen coldly.

Mu Chen turned away with a smile on his face and continued listening to the story.

After Liang Zhou had listed the abnormalities of the Young Madam of the Mu family after giving birth, it was clear to everyone that the Song Ning before giving birth and the Song Ning after giving birth were very different. Not only were their temperaments different, but even the way she did things was completely different. The Mu family had already been thrown into chaos because of this person.

Liang Zhou glanced indifferently at Gao Wen who was cowering in a corner as she said, "Although I had doubts about the Young Madam in my heart, I didn't think too much about it. After all, it has nothing to do with me. One day, Madam Ye came looking for me and begged me to help her look for her daughter. It was at that time that we caused a commotion in the mental hospital and even made the headlines. It was also at that time that I saw the real Song Ning at the hospital. Although it was just a brief moment, I recognized her immediately. As for the Ye Xin who was supposed to be in the mental hospital, she was not there at all. The 'Ye Xin' in the hospital was another person pretending to be her!"

Liang Zhou paused for a moment before she said, "After coming across this incredible discovery, a vague idea appeared in my head. At that time, I wanted to discuss this matter with my husband, Mu Qing. Unfortunately, it was also at this time that I discovered he was having an affair!"
