Su Mu didn't know whether he should believe her or not. He was silent for a long time, but still stubbornly said, ”I don't want this child.”

”Why?” Lin Yi asked with a hint of fragility. ”You don't believe me or …” You don't love me.

Su Mu lowered his head and looked at the two hands that were clasped together. ”It's reasonable to say that he shouldn't even exist.”

”I have the ability to solve …”

Halfway through his words, Lin Yi was interrupted by Su Mu. ”You can't stop the people of this world from talking. I won't let them suspect my father in the slightest.”

The time of her pregnancy with the Su Clan was too subtle. As long as someone with ill intentions casually guided them, when the people talked about the Su Clan's rebellion with her, they would inevitably have a hint of a smile on their faces.

Su Mu did not care about his reputation. She was not afraid of rumors, but she would not allow her reputation to entangle with her dead father.

Su Mu's eyes were like the brightest star in the night. They were bright and full of spirit. Lin Yi could almost see his blurry figure in her eyes.

Lin Yi couldn't help but admit that in his heart, Su Mu was a woman who understood the general situation. Thus, when he considered this child's survival, he didn't consider it from Su Mu's perspective at all.

Lin Yi felt a little tired and could not stand up in front of Su Mu.

There was a strange silence in the room. The faint light swayed gently in the wind, and the swaying shadows of the trees were reflected on the ground near the window like ghosts.

After an unknown period of time, the old lady walked in and broke the silence.

The freshly fried medicine released a white steam. The strong smell of the medicine wafted around the room. When one smelled it, they would feel a bitter taste on the back of their tongue.

The old lady could feel the strange atmosphere in the room. She did not say anything but just sat down calmly under the candlelight. In the flickering candlelight, she could almost see every wrinkle on her face.

Just a moment ago, the old man shouted that he wanted to beat him up, but the old lady forcefully stopped him. She knew that Lin Yi was no ordinary man, he could endure the old man's unbridled actions, but once the old man touched his bottom line, things would only become more difficult to resolve.

”Tell me what you want to do with it.” As Su Mu's elder, I do not wish to reach that step. ” The old lady stroked her hair and sat upright, looking at Lin Yi.

Unlike an ordinary old man, the old lady's eyes were very bright, not the slightest bit cloudy. Lin Yi felt that the old lady could see through his thoughts.

Lin Yi paced back and forth in the room. The old lady had clearly expressed her opinion. Although it seemed that she was on his side, he also knew that if he couldn't give her an answer that would satisfy her, she would immediately change her attitude.

The situation in front of him seemed to be a dead end. Other than feelings, there was no other reason for this child to stay.

The old lady picked the wick, and as the wick jumped, the room became much brighter.

Lin Yi clenched the jade bone fan in his hand and said, ”I will marry Su Mu. Su Mu will enter the palace with another identity.”

”You want my Su Clan's daughter to enter the palace without distinction?” The old lady's eyes widened.

”It's just for the time being. I admit that I don't have a deep foundation in the dynasty, so I need to consider a lot of factors. ”I am sincere towards Su Mu. I will give her everything that belongs to her in the future. I just need time.” Lin Yi couldn't help but shout out.

In the past few days, he had completely forgotten to eat and sleep, and the sleeping time he had was barely six hours. Even Imperial Physician Zhang had advised him to rest first, but no one had been able to persuade him to do so.
