TFWYH – Chapter 350 Conspiring for a Great Cause

“Uh…” Ling Chen accepted this explanation, then looked at her neck: “Wait a minute, are there mosquitoes? You’ve got red spots on your neck.”

Tang Wan touched her neck in confusion and quickly ran inside to check herself in the mirror.

The uncle and niece-in-law didn’t notice, but Ling Yu’s lips gradually lost the smile that had been there.

“Your stance isn’t stable enough. Practice horse stance for an hour, then go to the academy!” Ling Yu tossed the words coldly and stepped into the house, leaving Ling Chen standing there in utter confusion.

What did I do to deserve this? Why am I being exploited again?

Ling Chen protested in his heart and ran to the kitchen to complain to Jiang Shi.

Unlike little Ling Chen, Jiang Shi was experienced. Hearing him, she was delighted and immediately put the big grass carp she had planned as the main dish into the pot to make soup for Tang Wan.

Inside the house, Tang Wan looked at herself in the bronze mirror, frowning.

Sure enough, there were two small red spots on her neck.

Seeing Ling Yu come in, Tang Wan immediately asked, “Husband, mosquitoes? Did you get bitten?”

Ling Yu paused, gave her a look that said a thousand words, shook his head, and walked away.

He realized how foolish he’d been thinking Tang Wan would notice!

After breakfast, with Jiang Shi supervising, Tang Wan drank two big bowls of fish soup before the whole family headed out.

Jiang Shi and Qian Shi went to the baking room.

Ling Yu went to the county office.

Little Ling Chen went to the academy.

Tang Wan, carrying her little basket, first went to the manor.

Aunt Yang and Ling Yue saw her arrive and pulled her toward the bean sprouts, chattering excitedly about how amazing it was — the sprouts had really started growing.

Tang Wan listened, and when she saw the beans sprouting in each pot, glistening with life, her mood brightened considerably.

After staying a while and giving them some instructions, Tang Wan left to replace Mu Qingfeng’s blood.

With Ling Yu absent, she didn’t linger. After the blood transfusion, she left.

Mu Qingfeng, however, looked thoughtful. He remembered what Ling Yu had said to him the previous night.

Although harsh, it was all the truth.

He was just one man — how could he possibly shake the entire Mu family?

What shocked him even more was Ling Yu’s identity!

With Ling Yu’s help…

Just then, Yan Cheng came in, carrying a bowl of porridge: “Sister-in-law said you should eat something light. Here, this is guaranteed to be mild.”

Mu Qingfeng looked up, and his eyes twitched uncontrollably.

Rice soaked in water?

“Yan Cheng, I’m injured!” Mu Qingfeng ground his teeth.

Yan Cheng’s eyes glimmered with mischief, though his face looked innocent: “That’s exactly why I made it light for you. What, too light for you?”

“Enough!” Mu Qingfeng glared at him fiercely.

A tiger fallen to the plains is bullied by dogs.

Though he was the illegitimate son, he had been the young master of the Mu family for so long — yet here he was being bullied by the son of a martial arts alliance leader whose power had declined decades ago.

Infuriating.

But soon, Mu Qingfeng calmed down, a half-smile on his face as he looked at Yan Cheng: “I’ve decided to follow Master Ling. Brother Yan, I hope to receive your guidance in the future.”

Yan Cheng’s expression froze: “Huh?”

Mu Qingfeng repeated his words cheerfully, then added: “Anyway, I’m alone in the world. You and Master Ling have treated me well; of course I will stand with you, advancing and retreating together, to achieve great things.”

“Who treated you well?! You… you… wait, I’m going to find Master Ling right now!” Yan Cheng was furious, unwilling to let the illegitimate son join, and stormed off to find Ling Yu.

Ling Yu was at the county office and had no idea what Yan Cheng had said.

In the end, Yan Cheng left worried and frowning.
