The Miracle Doctor’s Wife is Not a Weak Lady! Chapter 37

Chapter 37

Grandpa’s Concerns
Liu Ming returned tiredly and handed over the information he had found.
This time, Mu Chen did not say anything. He said calmly, “Go and see Mu Ci. All these years, I’ve seen how you’ve treated him. Having you by his side is a blessing that this child accumulated in his previous life. After being tortured by illness for so many years, his thoughts are inevitably a little extreme. You shouldn’t blindly indulge him. When it’s time to help him, don’t be soft-hearted. This is for his own good!”
Liu Ming lowered his head deeply. “Yes, Old Master!”
Mu Chen closed the document in his hand. “Bei Shuo has cured Mu Ci’s illness. No matter what Mu Ci had planned in the past, he has to re-plan it this time.”
Liu Ming raised his head in shock and met Mu Chen’s old but deep eyes.
“The palm and the back of my hand are both flesh and blood. I can’t be biased toward anyone, but I definitely won’t allow family members to kill each other! From now on, you have to watch out for Mu Ci. The heavens have blessed him by sending Bei Shuo to his side and won’t let him die. His own flesh and blood are not allowed to kill him!” Mu Chen’s voice was filled with pain and determination.
“Yes, Old Master. I know what to do!” Liu Ming could not help but straighten his back.
Mu Chen nodded. “Go.”
After Liu Ming left, Old Jiang said softly, “Old Master, what did Liu Ming find out?”
Mu Chen closed his eyes and touched his forehead. He sighed softly. “It’s similar to the results you found back then. There are always some clues that are cut off at critical points and can’t be investigated. Some of those servants are related to the second and third branches, and some are from the first branch. Duan Si is brainless, so it’s obviously difficult for her to come up with any brilliant plan. Since she is his biological mother, everyone uses her and gets her involved. Even if there’s really something, it will be washed clean by her. Hmph! I really don’t understand how her brain works. Fortunately, these two sons are not like her!”
Old Jiang understood. “This time, it’s pointing at Eldest Madam again.”
Mu Chen snorted coldly, “Even if Mu Ci saw the result himself, he wouldn’t believe it. He knows that Duan Si is biased, but it’s not to the extent of wanting his life. From this, you can tell that the culprit behind this is very brilliant, and he knows everyone in the family very well and found the best weakness to strike.”
“Sigh! Old Jiang, this matter has passed on the surface, but we can’t relax in private. We have to continue investigating. I allow them to fight openly and covertly. Whoever has the ability, will eventually take over the clan. The winner will be the king. However, I won’t allow bloodshed between relations. Once we have the proof, I won’t let them off easily.”
Old Jiang said softly, “Yes, Old Master!”
Mu Chen narrowed his eyes. “Which family’s young lady has Mu En been close to recently?”
Old Jiang smiled. “Second Young Master has always known the art of checks and balances. He has never made any young lady feel distant. No young lady dares to be confident that she has won Second Young Master’s heart either. Second Young Master is indeed very brilliant in this aspect.”
Mu Chen’s expression softened slightly. “His assistant is Lin Xu, right? Give him some advice. Don’t let Mu En go overboard. They’re all daughters of noble families, so we’ll see each other often. It won’t be good for his reputation if he fools with them for too long. It’s as if our family is choosing a concubine.”
“However, we have to choose Mu En’s wife carefully. As long as he gets close to anyone, you have to carefully investigate the girl’s background, especially regarding any problems they might try to cover up. In the past, we could not count on Mu Ci to take on the heavy responsibility of the family. Even if he recovers in the future, with Bei Shuo’s personality, she won’t be able to be the mistress of the family. Why don’t we let them relax? This child’s life is like a gift from the heavens. I can’t bear to place the weight of the family on his shoulders again.”
Old Jiang nodded. “The old master has put in a lot of effort for the two young masters. In that case, the two young masters have each gotten what they want.”
Mu Chen sighed. “They are the eldest branch, so I naturally have to favor them. As for the second and third branches, no matter which one of them is successful, I will still dote on them. It’s just that they can’t covet the position of the family head.”
It was a family tradition to do this. In order to prevent brothers from fighting against each other, the ancestors had long set out the rules. Other than the eldest branch, the other members of the family would enjoy the Mu family’s dividends for the rest of their lives. They could also join the Mu family’s business and work. As long as they were capable, they would never be biased in their promotion. There was only one head of the family—the eldest son of the eldest branch. No one else was allowed to have any improper thoughts.
