The servants in the mansion almost never talked about that courtyard, and even Ruan Yun'er was shy about it. Who exactly lived there?

Biqing’s words might not be unreliable. If the people above were hiding something, then what the servants heard would naturally be different!

Looking at Feiyan's expression again, it was definitely not an act, she was really scared!

Mu Lanfeng naturally would not make things difficult for the two girls who followed her.

If you want to find out, you have to sneak into the yard and take a look yourself!

"Miss, the old lady is here!" Hongyin came in to report.

Mu Lanfeng was so absorbed in his thoughts that he didn't hear what Hong Yin said at all. He just said "oh" without making any movement.

When the maids saw that Mu Lanfeng didn't move, Hong Yin took a few steps closer and reminded her in a low voice: "Miss, the old lady is here to see you!"

"Grandma!" Mu Lanfeng exclaimed, then reacted, quickly put down the book in his hand, stood up and asked, "What is grandma doing here?"

"Can't an old woman like me come over to see you?" Without waiting for Hong Yin to answer, Madam Mu had already walked to the door.

Hearing this, Mu Lanfeng immediately ran out, hurriedly supported the old lady, and said with a smile: "Lanfeng is mainly worried that you, grandma, are tired!"

"Go away. I don't need your support. I'm in good health!" Old Madam Mu shook off Mu Lanfeng's hand and pretended to be angry.

"Since taking the medicine prescribed by the fifth lady, the old lady's health has been getting better and better!" Mother Li smiled and echoed.

"Grandmother is blessed with great fortune. Your granddaughter's medicine is just auxiliary!" Mu Lanfeng complimented with a smile.

"Look!" Madam Mu said to Madam Li beside her, "What a sweet mouth!"

"Grandma, I'm just telling you the truth!" Mu Lanfeng took the old lady's arm and smiled, showing the shy demeanor of a little girl.

Hong Yin was used to seeing Mu Lanfeng's decisive and serious character, so when she first saw this side of her, she couldn't adapt for a long time. She opened her eyes wide and was stunned!

"Okay, okay, you are right!" Old Madam Mu looked at her youngest granddaughter with a loving face and a complicated expression.

Mu Lanfeng glared at Hong Yin who looked shocked and motioned her to stand aside.

Hongyin came back to her senses with a start, moved her feet and made way.

My girl, this is how you should be!

"Grandma, let me accompany you into the house and sit for a while!" Mu Lanfeng turned around again with a gentle and amiable look, and walked into the house with her arm around Old Madam Mu, smiling.

My goodness, the speed at which his face changes is even faster than that of an opera singer!

Hong Yin scratched his head and followed him into the house.

Madam Mu entered the house, looked around, and said to Mu Lanfeng, "Your yard is a bit shabby, and there are not many servants. You need to bring more people over!"

Mu Lanfeng helped the old lady sit down, and then pulled over a shorter chair and sat on the right side of the old lady, leaning beside her legs. She smiled and said, "Grandma, my mother's previous arrangements were appropriate and comprehensive, but my granddaughter doesn't like luxury, so she ordered people to remove those vases and ornaments."

After saying that, she turned her head to look at Feiyan, then looked at Biqing, and continued, "My granddaughter doesn't like crowds, so I sent all the people my mother sent back, leaving only two maids and two servants!"

"Her people?" The old lady gave Mother Li a meaningful look with a look of disdain on her face, "I'm even more worried if there are people of hers!"

"Grandma, don't worry, your granddaughter can take good care of herself!" Mu Lanfeng still had a smile on her face, comforting the old lady to relax.

"Good, good, good!" The old lady was quite relieved. She lowered her head and asked in a low voice, "Do you still have the snacks you sent a few days ago?"

The grandparents looked at each other, Mu Lanfeng smiled knowingly, and turned to Hong Yin and said, "Hong Yin, go get some of the snacks you made the day before yesterday!"

Hong Yin responded "yes" and turned to go to the kitchenette.

"Did you do all that yourself?" asked the old lady.

Mu Lanfeng smiled and nodded, and replied: "They are all seasonal ingredients of this season, easy to find, and the preparation is also very simple! If grandma likes it, please bring some back!"

Not long after, Hongyin came in with two plates of exquisite dim sum, and she carefully picked a few pieces of each.

The old lady picked up a piece, put it in her mouth and tasted it, a satisfied smile appeared on her face from time to time.

"Well, it's delicious, sweet but not greasy, melts in your mouth and leaves a lingering fragrance!" praised the old lady.

Ever since the last pastry incident, the old lady no longer dared to buy pastries from outside easily. She only dared to eat pastries sent by Mu Lanfeng.

"The old lady said it tastes better than Fu Ji's!" Mother Li agreed with a smile on her face.

"Really?" Mu Lanfeng took over the conversation and said seriously, "If I open a pastry shop, even Fu Kee will have to close down!"

"Hahaha……"

Everyone burst into laughter because of Mu Lanfeng's amusement!

The house is peaceful and warm!

After about half a cup of tea, Mu Lanfeng whispered tentatively: "Grandma didn't come here just to eat some snacks, did she?"

Madam Mu paused for a moment while holding the dim sum, and put the remaining half back on the plate, her face solemn...

"I hope you stay well at home and get married smoothly. Grandmother doesn't want anything to happen to you!" said the old lady earnestly.

Mu Lanfeng knew without a doubt what the old lady had done, but she didn't expect the news to spread so quickly!

She couldn't help but look at Feiyan, and Feiyan immediately lowered her head.

"All of you, go out! We need to have a private conversation!" The old lady dismissed the servants in the room and continued, "Don't blame Feiyan. I asked her to tell me. I don't want anything to happen to you again!"

"Grandma, my granddaughter just wants to know the truth of what happened back then!" Mu Lanfeng put away her smile, feeling unwilling.

"Child, there are some truths that you cannot bear!" the old lady said seriously.

"But I don't want my aunt to die in such an unclear way!" Mu Lanfeng said to himself with a blank expression.

It was as if these words were only spoken to himself, but they were loud enough for everyone present to hear.

The old lady burst into tears and hugged Mu Lanfeng in her arms, saying guiltily: "It's all my fault. I couldn't protect you and your daughter. Your aunt is gone, and I don't want anything to happen to you again!"

At this moment, Mu Lanfeng had no expression. He let the old lady hug him like a puppet and didn't say anything else!

Silence does not mean that she gives up, she just doesn't want the old lady to worry about her!

"When I find the right opportunity, I will tell you everything, child!" The old lady sighed, as if she had made a great decision.

In fact, Mu Lanfeng didn't want to make it like this, but the atmosphere had already been set to this point. If she didn't get into the role, it would inevitably seem a little fake...
