Mu Nanyan smiled. She had lived two lives and had never seen her biological parents. In her previous life, she had been in an orphanage since she could remember. She had also heard the staff there secretly talking about her, saying that her mother had died when she was born and her father had died when she was one month old. Her grandmother did not accept her, and her grandmother hated her. Someone had thrown her at the door of the orphanage until she was taken away by the state at the age of ten.

"Madam Jiang, what are you doing? You are not polite at all. You come here and claim your relationship right away." Mu Yuning walked into the courtyard. "You are a concubine, but you still want to claim our Miss Mu as your own daughter. You are really unruly and don't know your place."

Mu Nanyan recognized this person. She was born to Mu Xiwen's concubine Luo Yunman. Although her biological mother was unknown, her daughter was not an easy person to deal with. She was very arrogant because she was fostered under the name of the mistress. She felt ashamed because her biological mother was a concubine. She never mentioned her biological mother in public and only mentioned the mistress. What an ungrateful person.

"Oh, who was he? Turns out to be an ungrateful person who doesn't recognize his biological mother." Mu Xiyao stood at the door of the hall with a candied haws stick in her mouth.

Mu Yuning stamped her feet in anger. She knew that this damn girl would definitely scold her, "You, I am your second sister."

"You are not the second sister. You are wrong. Since the eldest sister is back, you are the third sister. Besides, why didn't you say hello to the eldest sister? You are such an ungrateful person." After saying that, she made a face and ran behind Mu Nanyan, grabbing her clothes, "Lululu..."

Jiang Madam chimed in, "Yes, Third Miss, why do you say that I am wrong when we meet? Is it because I got too much salary this month? If that's the case, I can work better next month and I can ask less from my mother's family. I can save some face."

Mu Yuning's face changed. This won't do. "Aunt Jiang, I said the wrong thing just now. I was so nervous that I didn't know how to greet my sister. I'm a little embarrassed."

Mu Xiyao pouted and snorted twice: "You are quite good at shirking responsibility. Never mind. I guess my elder sister doesn't want to talk to an ungrateful person."

Mu Yuning was so angry that she was half dead. Even though she was young, tears welled up in her eyes. Mu Nanyan ignored her and picked up the kettle to pour a cup of tea for Jiang. "Auntie, you must be thirsty after talking so much. Have a cup of tea to moisten your throat."

Jiang took the teacup with a smile and scolded her daughter: "Look at your elder sister, she is so considerate, unlike you who are always naughty and lawless, it's all because of your uncles. Fortunately, you still recognize me here - aunt."

The word "aunt" was drawn out very long, which made Mu Yuning blush. She was not favored in this family. She had a legitimate daughter above her and a younger brother below her. Her biological mother was a useless person. She had no strong maternal family, her appearance was not outstanding, and she had no talent to show off.

Mu Yuhuai asked in a baby voice: "Aunt, what is an ungrateful wolf? Can I eat it?"

Mu Nanyan was amused and laughed out loud. Jiang pinched Mu Xiyao fiercely, "Ah, Auntie, what are you doing?"

Jiang said angrily, "Look at you, what have you taught your brother?"

The little boy climbed onto Mu Nanyan's lap. Seeing this, Jiang wanted to take him away, but Mu Yuhuai tightly grasped Mu Nanyan's collar and said, "It's okay, Auntie. Just let Yuhuai sit here."

Mu Yuhuai rubbed her face against Mu Nanyan, "Big sister, can you tell Huai'er what an ungrateful person is? Can we eat him?"

Mu Nanyan gently stroked his little head, "White-eyed wolf is an adjective, it can't be eaten."

Mu Yuhuai nodded, "So Third Sister is something that cannot be eaten."

Mu Nanyan bit her tongue to hold back her laughter. This little girl was so cute. She was so cute even when she was scolding people.

Mu Yuning was so angry that she cried. She stamped her feet a few times and ran away crying. Mu Yuhuai shook his head in Mu Nanyan's arms and sighed like a little adult, "You are really ignorant of etiquette. Big sister, you are still here and you don't even know how to greet me. Huai'er knows it but the third sister doesn't."

Jiang pointed at his head with her index finger, "Who taught you to say these things?"

Mu Yuhuai replied: "I learned the first part from my grandmother, and my eldest uncle told me the second part. I need to know the etiquette. It was my third sister who didn't know the etiquette that made me say that."

Jiang looked at the sun outside and said, "Yan'er, go to your yard and see if you need anything. I will give you some. Don't be polite to me."

Mu Nanyan refused, but she couldn't resist Jiang's soft and hard persuasion, so she had to agree to Jiang's request. The four of them returned to Jinsheng Courtyard. Jiang looked at the dead tree in the corner and said to herself, "I remember that Sister Su loved this tree the most. She would sit under it and drink tea every day. When Sister Su left, the tree also left."

Mu Nanyan felt a little sad when she heard her words. She didn't know where this feeling came from. It might be a special reaction of the original owner's body.

Mu Xiyao stood at the door, "Auntie, the furniture in this room smells musty. Please change them for Big Sister. Look at the mildew on the curtain. This is not the place for the daughter of the prime minister to live."

Mu Nanyan touched her nose. She didn't feel anything, not disgusted at all. She was not picky about food and accommodation. After all, she didn't have this opportunity in her previous life, and she didn't eat any snacks. She lived in a dormitory, so she didn't have high requirements for these.

Jiang walked around the yard. Actually, the yard was very tidy before, and it was full of flowers and plants. It just looked so desolate because no one took care of them and all the flowers died.

Su Jinrou was a very elegant person. Although she passed away not long after marrying into the prime minister's mansion, this courtyard was designed by her herself, with a trickling stream and lush flowers and plants. Shen fell in love with the courtyard when she first saw it, but she didn't live there because it was too small and remote.

Mu Nanyan was rummaging around in the space, wondering what to plant on this land. Planting flowers and plants was a bit too wasteful and a waste of land.

Jiang called a few servants to move the cabinets in the house, and brought out two mahogany wardrobes, a set of tables and chairs, and an oversized... wooden bed from his own small storeroom...

Mu Nanyan was stunned. It was good to have money, but it didn't have to be like this. They almost had to tear down the house and rebuild it. Two maids came with two small hoes and squatted on the ground to dig the soil. Mu Nanyan walked in and asked, "What are you doing?"

The maid in a yellow coat replied, "My lady, Aunt Jiang asked us to dig up all the dead things in the yard and send you some new flowers and plants tomorrow."

Mu Nanyan nodded, "Aunt, you don't have to send me flowers and plants tomorrow. I want to plant some medicinal herbs in the yard."

Jiang agreed: "Okay, whatever you say is fine. I remember that when Sister Su was here, this yard was planted with medicinal herbs. Oh, look at my mouth, it's all Auntie's fault..."

Mu Nanyan walked closer and held her hand, "Aunt, there's no need to be like this. It's all in the past. You don't have to apologize. I know you have a good relationship with my mother."

Jiang lowered her eyes, "Yan'er, don't blame me for being nosy. I suspect your mother's death was not caused by difficult childbirth, but was murdered..."
