Chapter 897 Hairong’s Plan (3)
In front of everyone, Mu Huan always looked so aloof.
Only when facing Hai Rong, she would be like the students in the school, with a cute face and a clear voice.
Hairong didn't like living in the Mu family compound, so he had always lived in the inn. He would only go to the Mu family unless he was diagnosed.
"Huan'er," Hai Rong turned around slowly, with kind eyes and a gentle tone, "The girl who owed me a favor was really your mother's distant cousin? Why didn't she come back to see the old man on his birthday? I listen to you Mom said that your father has always taken good care of her, so that’s why your father appeared with her in Tianyun Mountain that day. In this case, she really shouldn’t not come back for the old man’s birthday!”
Mu Huan was stunned for a moment, his eyes hesitant.
Why did Master suddenly ask about that woman again?
Moreover, Master has always praised Su Yi highly, why did he speak reproachfully this time?
Mu Huan always felt that something was wrong, but couldn't hear any problem from Hai Rong's tone.
It seems that he is really fighting for the old man's injustice.
"Well," Mu Huan pursed her lips, "She is my cousin. As for why she didn't come back, I don't know. Maybe the Mu family is not that important to her, right?"
Hai Rong's heart sank a little bit.
He had never heard anything about Su Yi from Mu Huan. Everything was said by Chen Qingyan and Mu Ling.
Therefore, this time he just wanted to know if Mu Huan would tell the truth to him.
The final result still disappointed him...
"Huan'er, I also heard that Mu Ling once had a wife named Su Yi?" Hai Rong frowned slightly, "Why have I never seen her in the Mu family?"
Mu Huan felt slightly wary, and her uneasiness became stronger and stronger.
According to the past, she would definitely slander Su Yi and make Master hate that woman.
But that kind of uneasiness did not allow her to say these words after all. She just said vaguely: "I don't know very well. When she left, I was not born yet."
Hai Rong had some doubts in his heart.
Mu Huan has never seen Su Yi?
Does that mean that regarding the distant cousin, Mu Ling and Chen Qingyan deceived not only him, but also Mu Huan? Are you afraid that Mu Huan will accidentally let something slip?
Even though he was questioning in his heart, Hai Rong was still a little cold towards Mu Huan, his disciple.
After all, this apprentice was obtained by deception. He couldn't bear to part with her, just to keep her company for these years.
But Hai Rong still didn't ask everything directly. A smile appeared on his old face: "I just heard Mu Ling mention Su Yi, and I was a little curious. Huan'er, it's just that you haven't seen her. By the way, since I didn't make it this time, I plan to attend the old man's birthday. Do you know what the old man likes?"
Mu Huan's heart trembled.
Dad once said that Su Yi would come back for the old man’s birthday this time, so he must not let the master stay.
This time she came to see Hai Rong, and her father gave her a task. She must persuade her master to leave Tianshen Mansion and never let him meet Su Yi.
In fact, Mu Huan always felt that even if the master knew this, he would not be able to abandon her, but grandpa's birthday was coming soon, and the number of people coming to congratulate him would not be too few, if not as many as in previous years.
At this time, there must be no such scandal.
If others find out, the entire reputation of the Mu family will be ruined!
"Master," Mu Huan smiled obediently and took Hai Rong's arm, "Don't you want to let go of those elixirs in the back mountain? How can I trouble you, Master, on my grandfather's birthday? Besides, Master, your name is so famous to countless people. Everyone knows that I am even more afraid that those who come to congratulate my grandpa will pester you, Master. Master, you have always known that I worship you as my teacher. I just admire Master. My father has never thought of relying on your reputation, Master. To develop the Mu family, I will not allow such a thing to happen."
