Clearly when she went there, she saw him sitting alone in the accounting office making tea, and nothing had happened. If her master had not instructed not to use force against Accountant Cui, she would have grabbed the old man by the collar and dragged him over.

"Could it be that this old fellow thought that now that the old lady is back, he would have someone to back him up, and that he no longer takes you seriously, the master?"

The more Qingyun thought about it, the angrier she became, and the more she felt that she had guessed what Cui was thinking.

After Mu Yunyao heard her words and asked a few more questions, she not only did not get angry but laughed instead.

"Things may not be what you think."

Seeing that she was still angry, Mu Yunyao sighed softly.

"Okay, don't be angry, I still have something for you to do."

When Qingyun heard that her master had more instructions, she immediately calmed down and walked forward to ask.

"Master, what do you want me to do?"

Seeing her childish nature, Mu Yunyao said with a smile, as her temper came and went quickly.

"Didn't you make friends with a lot of people in the mansion before? Go out and ask about what happened in the mansion today, especially in the old lady's courtyard, to see if there is anything new."

Now, she is in charge of things in the mansion, but that family has kept the fact of the old lady's return a secret, not a single word of it leaked out. She doesn't believe that these people don't have other plans.

When Qingyun heard about this, he immediately patted his chest and said.

"Master, rest assured. I will go right away and make sure I find out everything clearly."

Seeing her confident look, Mu Yunyao did not discourage her and just asked her to go down and do her work first.

After everyone left, Shen Qianmei looked at Mu Yunyao and said.

"The old lady is coming back at this time, I'm afraid she has bad intentions, you better be careful."

In the past, Mu Yunyao had always been successful in the Prime Minister's Mansion. That was because Shen Qianjiao was the second wife and had no status to manage her, the eldest daughter of the legitimate wife.

Mu Jinnian and Mu Junsheng were the ones who were not suitable for men to interfere in the affairs of the backyard, which allowed her to easily take charge of the household.

But now that the old lady is back, no matter from which perspective, she is Mu Yunyao's legitimate elder. The methods she used to deal with Shen Qianjiao and Mu Mingzhu are no longer effective on her.

Mu Yunyao was not worried about this, and she did not want to use force against the old lady of the Mu family.

After all, she is so old, and if something really happens to her, she, as the granddaughter, will have to observe mourning.

She didn't want to delay her marriage with Xiao Qianmo because of an insignificant person.

"Aunt Mei, don't worry about me. After all, you are my aunt, and it is not appropriate for you to live in the same yard with servants.

Why don't I have someone clean up another yard for you to live in."

Mu Yunyao smiled meaningfully after she finished speaking.

Although Shen Qianmei had suffered a brain injury, she only suffered amnesia, not a decrease in intelligence. She immediately understood what Mu Yunyao said.

"Okay, tomorrow I'll have someone send a letter to Yu Ge'er, asking him to help me deliver the things I often use."

Shen Qianmei and Shen Qianjiao are different. Although both were born from their aunt's womb, her mother was a concubine, and the Shen family paid a proper betrothal gift to bring her into the family.

She was raised by her stepmother since she was a child, and was recorded in the family tree under her stepmother's name.

He is nominally the legitimate son of the third branch of the Shen family.

If she lived in the prime minister's residence as a member of the Shen family, she would be a legitimate relative, and even the old lady would not dare to boss her around.

After the aunt and nephew finished speaking, they smiled at each other and saw calculation in each other's eyes.

Not long after, Qingyun, who had gone out to inquire about the news, came back, but this time her face was full of smiles.

"Master, I have found out that the old lady's early return this time is indeed related to the second wife. I heard that the second wife sent a letter saying that the eldest young master had injured his leg, so the old lady packed her bags and rushed back overnight.

She was accompanied back by her great aunt's cousin.

It was said that the eldest aunt was pregnant and had limited energy, and the old lady was worried that she would not be able to take care of the cousin, and that the cousin would be plotted against by the bad guys, so she brought her back. "

Mu Yunyao couldn't help but laugh when she heard her words.

Is she afraid of what kind of person she is, so she treats others as if they are like her?

Who would plot against their own relatives for no reason?

Qingyun felt a little sympathetic when she said this. How could she be as pitiful as her own master? What kind of family did she encounter?

The little girl was simple-minded, and Mu Yunyao saw through what she was thinking at a glance.

He laughed and said, "Silly girl, the cousin's family is different from the prime minister's mansion. The eldest brother-in-law only has one wife, and there is not even a concubine in the mansion. The eldest aunt has a brother like the prime minister, and she has the eldest brother-in-law and the people in the mansion under her control. Even her mother-in-law has to look at her face. Who dares to plot against her daughter?"

Qingyun was naive but not stupid. When she heard Mu Yunyao's words, she reacted immediately.

"Master, you mean that everything the old lady said is false."

Qingyun was so shocked that her eyes widened, her eyes full of confusion. If this was all fake, why didn't the cousin say something to defend her family?

What good dates can grow from the old thing's seeds? The old lady can arrange it just because it is more beneficial to her.

Mu Yunyao chuckled and said in a teasing tone.

"Not entirely, at least it's true that my eldest aunt is carrying a pearl in her arms."

"Then what does it mean that she brought Miss Cousin back?"

Mu Yunyao asked in a guiding tone.

"How old is Miss Cousin?"

Qingyun quietly slipped into the old lady's yard, took a look, and thought for a while.

"She looks similar to you, my master. Judging from her hairstyle, she's at the age of 15."

Mu Yunyao had a firm grasp of the old lady's thoughts.

"That's right. My eldest brother-in-law is only a fifth-rank official, and Jiangzhou is not a wealthy place. My cousin should be married at this age."

After all, didn’t this all happen in a previous life?

It would have been fine if they had tricked me into marrying Mu Mingzhu in my previous life, but it turned out that this cousin fell in love with the eldest son of the Minister of Revenue.

The old lady asked people to test the waters several times, but they thought the cousin was of too low a social status and dared not take up the conversation. The old lady actually called herself back, hoping that she could use her status as the third prince's consort to put pressure on them.

After being rejected by herself, she actually set up a trap and let the maid beside her drug the son of the minister in order to help her obedient granddaughter.

After the matter was exposed, her maid was identified, and the whole family insisted that these things were all done by themselves. They had taken a fancy to your young master and wanted to seduce him but failed, so they drugged him.

Although the Third Prince did not believe what they said, he still tortured her severely because he had lost face. He beat her so hard that several bones were broken and then threw her into the livestock yard to fend for herself.

She survived by eating horse feed.

If it weren't for the fact that the Emperor's Birthday Festival required her, the Crown Prince's Consort, to appear, she would have probably died in that dirty and smelly place long ago.

And all this is thanks to that old hag.
