Mu Tongrui stared at the pieces of cake on the floor, her eyes dull and lifeless.

Since she had not given any reaction, Xiang Nanqian proceeded to throw away all the dishes she had prepared earlier.

“Mu Tongrui! I'm telling you! Fu Lingye will not be eating these dishes anymore! You are such a jinx! Lingye has had his fair share of mishaps ever since you entered the Fu family!”

Mu Tongrui just sat there quietly.

“Why won't you say anything? Should I take your silence as tacit consent?” Xiang Nanqian stared at her and asked.

The commotion caused in the living room had attracted Old Master Fu's attention.

“What is the cause of this commotion?”

“Dad...” Xiang Nanqian said, startled.

“Sweetheart and Han are in their room drawing. Is it your intention to grab their attention with all this commotion going on? I've been really upset these few days; can't you guys at least try to get along?”

Xiang Nanqian was too prideful to admit defeat. She bit her lip and said, “Dad, I'm sorry, I just...I just think that Lingye had died in vain.”

“Nanqian, I know that you don't favor Tongrui, but she is still Lingye's wife. Both of you are on the same boat. What will people say if both of you don't stand in solidarity?”

Xiang Nanqian bowed her head and kept quiet.

Old Master Fu told Aunt Lan to clean up the mess and to send Mu Tongrui upstairs to get some rest.

Mu Tongrui has calmed down as compared to two days ago. In fact, people are finding it weird to see Mu Tongrui so calm tonight.

“Old Master, Young Mistress Tongrui doesn't look too good. She refuses to cry or even talk. She will only end up hurt if she keeps everything to herself like that.” Aunt Lan told Fu Zhengyuan worriedly after tending to Mu Tongrui.

Old Master Fu frowned and decided to call Xu Kun after giving it some thought.

“Mr. Xu, can you please check out Young Mistress Tongrui's close friends and ask her best friend over to accompany her?”

After half an hour, Xu Kun arrived with Lu Jiahe.

Lu Jiahe stepped into Mu Tongrui's room after learning about the recent events. She found Mu Tongrui leaning against the bed, stroking a man's coat.

“Tongrui?”

Lu Jiahe ran over and gave her a hug.

Mu Tongrui smiled weakly and asked, “Why are you here?”
