43 Their Own Thoughts
Song Nan’s words soothed Duan Si’s impatience.
However, her guilt also arose spontaneously. “You’re the one I’m most sorry to. Mu Ci’s health is so poor. I can’t bear for you to suffer with him, let alone be a widow in the foreseeable future. Hence, I haven’t been able to make up my mind to marry you to Mu Ci. I didn’t expect a random girl to suddenly appear now!”
“I’m furious just thinking about it. If I had known earlier, I would have fulfilled your wish and Mu Ci’s. After all, even if Mu Ci is no longer around, you’ll still be the Young Madam of the Mu Family! No matter what, we have a place in the Mu family! Even if the two of us can’t win a man’s heart in our lives, we can still obtain their assets!”
Song Nan lowered her eyes and thought to herself, What were you doing previously? You only figured it out now?
However, it was also because she was too hesitant that she ended up like this. Who would have thought that Old Master Mu would actually do such a ridiculous act like counteract the bad luck? Moreover, he could really find someone who was willing to do it, and this person caught Mu Ci’s eye.
At the thought of this, she could not help but have an idea.
“Auntie, I have a feeling that something is wrong,” Song Nan said seriously.
“What’s the matter? Do you think there’s something wrong with that little vixen too?” Duan Si immediately perked up.
The “little vixen” that Duan Si was talking about was Mu Guo’s mistress.
Ignoring Duan Si’s stupidity, Song Nan continued, “Auntie, I’m talking about Mu Ci’s wife, Bei Shuo. Don’t you think that her appearance is too coincidental? Old Master couldn’t find a suitable person for such a long time. Why did Bei Shuo suddenly appear? And it coincides with Old Master’s request?”
“I’m just worried that Bei Shuo might have a purpose in getting close to Mu Ci. She can openly occupy Mu Ci’s assets and the status of the Mu Family’s Young Madam. You have to know that even if the Young Madam of the Mu Family is widowed, she can’t remarry. If not for this, why wouldn’t those small families be willing to marry their daughters in? Just look at you. If it weren’t for this—”
Duan Si nodded vigorously. “Yes, yes. If not for this, I wouldn’t have hesitated and refused to let you marry Mu Ci. Even if you have feelings for him, I can’t cheat you of the rest of your life!”
Song Nan remained calm and revealed a hint of shyness along with Duan Si’s emotions.
Only then did Duan Si sort out her thoughts. “You’re right. This girl must have an ulterior motive!”
How could she call that an ulterior motive? Who could not tell her motive? Song Nan sneered inwardly. Duan Si must have saved Earth in her previous life to become such a noble woman with such an incomplete IQ in this life.
She nodded gently. “And Snow Pill.”
Duan Si nodded vigorously. “Yes, yes, yes. The most important thing is this Snow Pill! Old Master bought it for 30 million yuan back then. I gave it to Mu En. Old Master was angry for a long time and wanted to buy it again, but he couldn’t get one no matter how much money he had. She actually has a bottle of such a precious medicine! How is this possible? This girl is too suspicious!”
“But Old Master trusts her now. You can’t go against Old Master. You know Old Master’s temper. No one can beat him in terms of stubborness. Don’t you think so?” Song Nan coaxed her gently.
Duan Si raised her eyebrows and finally listened to Song Nan. “Then tell me, what should I do?”
Song Nan smiled and patted Duan Si’s back gently. “Auntie, you’re the smartest person. Think about it. What does Old Master care about the most at this time?”
Duan Si thought for a moment. “Mu Ci’s health!”
Song Nan was full of praise. “That’s right. In Old Master’s heart, there’s nothing more important than Mu Ci’s health. Hence, if you want Old Master to be happy, you have to follow his wishes and care about Mu Ci as much as he does. If he accepts Bei Shuo, you have to accept her too.”
“That won’t do. I can’t accept that wild girl! If Mu Ci can get better, he has to marry you! If he can’t live, he has to leave the position of Young Madam Mu vacant. I won’t let anyone occupy this position for Mu En’s future wife!” Duan Si said firmly.
Song Nan almost choked. So this was what this woman was planning. She had been thinking about her youngest son from the beginning to the end!
No wonder Duan Si refused to let her marry Mu Ci, even though she had revealed that she did not mind being a widow.
