Mu Ling was staring at Chen Qingyan with mixed feelings in his heart. He did not look away even for a second. Currently, no one felt worse than Mu Ling himself.

 “Your hands are quivering. I thought you want to offer up your life to clear your name? What are you doing now? You don't want to die? Well, if you really want to die, I can give you a hand. Hold this sword properly and I will stab you. You don't need to thank me for this.” Feng Ruqing glanced at Chen Qingyan's trembling hands.

 Feng Ruqing's hand moved slightly.

 Before the sword reached Chen Qingyan's heart, a loud scream sounded. In a split second, Chen Qingyan loosened the sword in her grip and took a few steps backward.

 No! Chen Qingyan did not want to die! If she died, she would lose everything she had.

 The sword fell to the ground from Chen Qingyan's hand. Beads of cold sweats could be seen covering her forehead. Her eyes were filled with panic, her face was drained of any color.

 Seeing Chen Qingyan's fl.u.s.tered appearance, Mu Ling was no longer worried. It turned out that Chen Qingyan was afraid of death.

 Chen Qingyan had played the same trick twice—offering up her life to prove her innocence and Mu Ling had actually bought into it and forgiven all her wrongdoings.

 Since Chen Qingyan was so afraid of death, she would never have taken her life to clear her name. Ridiculously, Mu Ling had always trusted her with all his heart.

 “Brother Ling…” Chen Qingyan looked at Mu Ling anxiously.

 Her eyes met Mu Ling's eyes that were filled with despair. Twice, Chen Qingyan had nearly put the entire Mu family into huge troubles. However, Mu Ling had forgiven her over and over again. Apparently, Chen Qingyan had a special place in Mu Ling's heart.

 It was all because Mu Ling had a soft heart. He could not bear seeing Chen Qingyan dead. Hence, he had forgiven her.

 “Brother Ling… listen to me. I…”

 Whoos.h.!.+

 Just as Chen Qingyan wanted to approach Mu Ling, the sword in Feng Ruqing's hand dug into Chen Qingyan's belly.

 Before the wound on her belly was fully recovered, the sword stabbed her again. Quivering in pain, Chen Qingyan raised her head to stare at Feng Ruqing. A look of shock and disbelief crept into Chen Qingyan's eyes.

 Feng Ruqing had actually stabbed Chen Qingyan before everyone's eyes!

 “I healed your wound just now. Now that I have stabbed you, we are even. Since your daughter wants to save you, I will not get myself involved.” Feng Ruqing grinned.

 ‘Since I am capable of healing your wound, I could make the wound back to how it was before.'

 Moreover, Feng Ruqing had purposely stabbed her at the same wound. The pain had actually hurt more than when Chen Qingyan stabbed herself.

 Blood spurted out of the wound in her belly.

 When Feng Ruqing drew out the sword, Chen Qingyan held her belly and fell to the ground.

 “Mother!” Mu Huan's eyes reddened. As no one was stopping her, she shouted at the top of her voice.

 On the contrary, Mu Xi stared coldly at Feng Ruqing. Seeing his mother falling to the ground, he did not have a big reaction. He merely walked up to her with his face darkened.

 “Feng! Ru! Qing! You must pay for the things that you have done!” Mu Huan's eyes locked on Feng Ruqing.

 Feng Ruqing shrugged casually and turned to look at the people of the Mu family with a smile on her face.

 “Did she say that she wanted to offer her life to prove her innocence?”

 Startled, the people of the Mu family looked at Feng Ruqing's grinning face. Currently, Feng Ruqing looked liked a demon waving at them.

 The people of the Mu family were a little afraid of Feng Ruqing at the birthday feast. Now, they were extremely frightened and dared not to offend Feng Ruqing.

 “You are right… just now, Lady Qingyan… It was Aunt Qingyan who wanted to offer her life to clear her name.”

 “Oh? If that is the case, have I done anything wrong? I was just helping her. She wanted to offer her life to clear her name. She was so resolute, but I have saved her. Not only did she not thank me, but she also blamed me for saving her. Hence, I am helping her now,” Feng Ruqing said innocently.
