"Master, you can stay here."
In a dilapidated courtyard, Mu Qingling said with some embarrassment.
It wasn't that she didn't want to give Feng Yuan a better place, but this was all she had left.
Ever since the incident with Lin Yun'er, Mu Qingling had faced disdain from the Mu family. Many in the clan accused her of never having should have defeated Lin Yun'er in the first place. This caused her status to plummet. Not only was she stripped of her position as a direct descendant, but even her living quarters were worse than the servants'.
This situation had also affected her parents. Although they had served as elders of the family, they were demoted to mere branch supervisors. However, due to their many contributions to the Mu family, they weren't treated as harshly as Mu Qingling herself.
But Mu Qingling bore no resentment. She had brought trouble to the Mu family, so she accepted her punishment. Yet, deep inside, she still felt unwilling.
