Once the guards saw the 'Mu' word on the token, their stance changed as they became more respectful toward them. "Inside please."

The commoners' tokens were just ordinary tokens, such as the one Elder Lei Yun had stolen for Feng Ruqing.

Although it was Gu Shi's niece who had stolen it, the token she was holding was still ordinary, and only Gu Yiyi and Gu Shi's token would have the 'Gu' word.

But Feng Tianyu's token had 'Mu' written on it! Only the old master Mu, the young masters, and the ladies of the Mu family were eligible to have such engraved tokens.

Feng Tianyu kept his token and walked into the gate with Nalan Yan

***

Mu Ling and Chen Qingyan were very depressed during this time.

Nan Xian had left to pursue Feng Ruqing, but Suyi was still here, staying in the Mu family.

Mu Ling was happy about this, but Chen Qingyan's life was not so good.

The old master Mu had always adored Suyi. As Suyi was back now, he had become colder toward Chen Qingyan and would give her trouble from time to time. Initially, Chen Qingyan wanted to leave, but Mu Ling refused to let her go because he could not bear to leave her alone.

Mu Ling was helpless as Suyi had never treated him well. She had ignored him and directly moved into the old master's yard. She would accompany the old master drinking tea and playing chess when she was free, rarely stepping outside the yard.

The old master was very disappointed in Mu Ling, so he made the butler guard the door and had prevented Mu Ling from entering his yard.

Mu Ling, who should be happy at first, was gradually disappointed as he could not even meet Suyi for almost one year

***

In the quiet courtyard, Suyi was dressed in white, like an immortal. Her long, slender fingers were holding a chess piece that slowly landed on the chessboard.

"Master, you've lost again."

The old master was suddenly displeased, then he hummed, "This game doesn't count. I won't admit defeat, so let's play again!"

"Alright, alright. Master, whatever you say goes. As long as you are happy, I don't mind playing chess with you every day. But don't allow Mu Ling to appear in front of me." Suyi's smile was so beautiful, just like the one in the painting.

The old master fell into a trance before he let out a sigh.

He could not understand Mu Ling.

Suyi was better than Chen Qingyan in every aspect, but why did he choose Chen Qingyan?

"Always listen to your elders. Can he see how sharp my eyes are? Just look at Mu Ling's mother! I chose her back then, and it proves that my taste is excellent. Mu Ling that darn lad is too disobedient. Once he gets in trouble, he will understand that what I have done is for his good."

Look at that, Suyi was ignoring him now. That man was anxious about it and was trying to meet her by all means.

Unfortunately Suyi's heart was already broken, and she had no way to forgive him.

Suyi said with a faint smile, “It's okay. It doesn't matter to me whom he likes. Master, I have my own life now. If you can still accept me, I hope you can treat me like your own daughter. Even if I need to leave later, I'll come back often to visit you and play chess with you like now."

"Hahaha!" The old master laughed out loud. "Excellent! I have lost one daughter-in-law, but I have gained a daughter now and it makes me feel good. My greatest regret back then was having two ungrateful brats and no caring daughter to live with me!"
