Chapter 112: If Anyone Had the Right to Be Angry, It Was Mu Chenyan

There was an awkward silence.

“Alright, but what’s the point of saying these things?”

Old Mistress Yuan suddenly spoke up, she clearly did not want to hear anyone mentioning Qinger’s death in front of her.

This matter was like a thorn that was deeply embedded in her heart.

It would not hurt if other people did not bother it, but a single touch was enough to make her heart stop.

As the elders of the second generation of the Yuan Family, Yuan Tangzhong and Yuan Tangshuo would usually not participate in these discussions. However, they got up and coaxed their mother the second she flew into a rage.

“Mother, it’s in the past so don’t be upset. Once the real killer has been found and executed, we’ll conduct a ritual for Qinger so that her soul can find peace.”

When Mu Chenyan heard this, she sneered to herself.

No matter the circumstance, Yuan Tangzhong was an important official in the political circles. Was he not above talking about superstitious matters like performing rituals to appease souls?

One could immediately tell how dominant Old Mistress’ position was in the Yuan Family.

Meanwhile, Zhao Ruoxin quietly shed tears upon hearing Yuan Tangzhong say this. When she thought of how her beautiful sister was gone from this world while the real killer remained at large, she wanted to mourn.

“Grandmother, has there been any more news from the police station?

My sister’s soul may be protected in heaven but we should hurry up and arrest the killer…”

Zhao Ruoxin cried while glimpsing at Mu Chenyan from the corner of her eye.

Chenyan had an indifferent expression on her face as her gaze remained quiet and elusive.

There was no one else in this house who was as anxious as her to arrest the killer.

Not only had that person cruelly murdered someone and gotten rid of the body, they had also framed her and ruined her wedding!

Furthermore, she had not been with her parents during their accident two years ago because she was suffering in jail…

If anyone had the right to be angry, it was Mu Chenyan!

“Those pigs are just a bunch of freeloaders! There hasn’t been any developments over the past few years even though we’ve been pouring money into their various funds to support them.”

When Old Mistress Yuan heard what Ruoxin said, her temper soared.

“Grandmother, don’t get mad. Those people aren’t idiots. Think about it, didn’t they already do their duty by arresting Mu Chenyan for you? Since they had already found a scapegoat, why would they need to go the extra mile to investigate further?”

Yuan Tian spoke in a blatantly mocking tone.

“If I was there, I would’ve questioned the people who were making baseless charges against Mu Chenyan. What would have motivated her to murder someone? Yuan Xuan is indeed exceptional but Mu Chenyan is not far behind either! Those people knew absolutely nothing about Mu Chenyan…”

When Mu Chenyan heard Yuan Tian’s biting words, her entire body trembled. She lowered her head so that her gloomy expression could not be seen.

Meanwhile, the innocent woman held Yuan Tian’s hand under the table. It was so cold that it was as if she had lost all the heat in her body.

Apparently, the person who knew her best all along was Yuan Tian…

Yuan Tian was not in Luo Hai when the incident happened two years ago.

When the earth-shattering accusations were directed at Mu Chenyan, even the members of the Mu Family did not dare come out and help her. If Yuan Tian had been there, Mu Chenyan firmly believed that her best friend would have kept her word and risked her life to protect her.

When Yuan Xuan looked at his younger sister, a rare smile appeared on the arrogant man’s face.

Indeed, if Yuan Tian were present at the time, the matters with the police would definitely not have proceeded so smoothly – this girl would have caused a great disturbance!

“Tian Tian! You won’t be satisfied until you anger your father and I to death…”

Lu Shan held back tears as her daughter rendered her speechless from rage.

When Yuan Tian took this stance in directly calling out Mu Chenyan’s accusers, she was inadvertently including Old Mistress as well.

This was the first time that Yuan Tangshuo had met Mu Chenyan at a family reunion. Out of respect for his elders, it was inappropriate for him to overstep, even if his daughter was speaking on behalf of Mu Chenyan.

“Tian Tian, mind your manners when you speak!”

Yuan Tangshuo was the most famous military doctor in Luo Hai. His strict personality was not devoid of kindness. Thus, he was a stern but loving father who would never harbor any resentment like Yuan Tian.

“It looks to me like you’ve spoiled your daughter!”

Old Mistress looked at her third son and furiously snapped.

Too afraid to retaliate, Yuan Tangshuo just nodded and said, “I’ll go home and teach her a lesson.”
