The next day, at dawn, the red sun was rising.

Feiyan got up very early because Mu Lanfeng asked her to do some things early in the morning last night.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw her looking back from time to time as she walked.

"Sister Feiyan, are you being chased by a dog?" Hongyin asked jokingly.

"Stupid girl!" Feiyan rolled her eyes at Hongyin and walked into the house.

Hong Yin was bored and followed him into the house.

"Miss, Wang Wei is back. I saw him enter Wuqiuxuan with my own eyes!" Feiyan said in a low voice.

"Wang Wei?" Mu Lanfeng asked in confusion.

"Hmm!" Feiyan paused, then continued, "He is Mother Wang's son. He has been taking care of the affairs of Tianyuan Manor and rarely comes back!"

After hearing what Feiyan said, Mu Lanfeng seemed to have some impression. The man looked ferocious and vicious, and was extremely cruel in doing things. He had seen him beat to death a tenant who could not pay the rent due to a bad harvest.

Mu Lanfeng guessed that Jiang must have become suspicious and felt that there was something wrong with her but couldn't find it, so she asked people from Tianyuan Manor to come.

But she is Mu Lanfeng, no matter who she comes to, she is Mu Lanfeng!

Mu Lanfeng just liked to see the Jiang mother and daughter worry about this. They both knew there was a problem, but they just couldn’t find where it was.

"Fei Yan, ask Bi Qing to pay more attention to the people coming in and out of Wu Gou Xuan these days!" Mu Lanfeng ordered.

"Yes, girl!" Feiyan said and turned to leave.

"Girl, what if they really find out something?" Hong Yin said worriedly.

"I'm not afraid that they will really investigate, because they won't be able to find out anything. But with my stepmother's personality, she will never give up until she finds out something!" Mu Lanfeng said lightly.

Hong Yin agreed: "What the girl said is right!"

"Someone may be coming today!" Mu Lanfeng paused for a moment, then continued, "Go find Sanniang and ask her to find someone to secretly keep an eye on the people at Tianyuan Manor. Tell me immediately if there is anything unusual!"

As they were talking, they saw Mother Li supporting Old Madam Mu and staggering in.

Mu Lanfeng lowered his voice and said to Hong Yin, "Hurry and do it."

After he finished speaking, he immediately stood up to greet Madam Mu: "Grandma, why are you here?"

"Girl Lan, such a big thing has happened. How long are you going to hide it from me, an old woman?" Although Old Madam Mu was blaming Mu Lanfeng, her face was full of worry.

"The fifth girl didn't dare tell you because she was afraid you would worry!" Mother Li chimed in.

"Hmph!" That word almost came out of Madam Mu's nose. She glared at Madam Li beside her and said bitterly, "You old woman, you also hid it from me. Do you really think I'm old?"

Today, Mu Lanfeng finally understood what others meant by "old child"!

Mother Li shrugged and looked at Mu Lanfeng with a helpless smile.

Mu Lanfeng stepped forward to support Madam Mu and said coquettishly, "I'm sorry, grandma. It's my fault. I made you worry!"

Mu Lanfeng had a subtle change in his heart towards this grandmother. It was as if an invisible thorn was piercing his heart, making him feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

The death of my aunt was somewhat related to this grandmother. No matter what the reason was, Mu Lanfeng couldn't get over it.

People who do bad things secretly are more terrifying than those who do it openly!

Many things cannot stand up to scrutiny. It's not that she can't accept it, but she doesn't want to lose this only warm family relationship.

"Child, if this old woman hadn't let the secret slip accidentally, I don't know how long you would have kept it a secret?" Old Madam Mu was still blaming Mother Li.

"Grandma, Lanfeng knows he was wrong!" Mu Lanfeng said as he helped Old Madam Mu into the warm room.

There is a charcoal fire in the warm room, which is much warmer than outside.

Mu Lanfeng brought a soft pillow and placed it behind Madam Mu, letting her half lean on it, and asked Biqing to change a hot water bottle and put it in her hand.

"Grandma, please don't be angry, okay? Lanfeng promises that he will never hide anything from you in the future!" Mu Lanfeng pulled Madam Mu's hand and acted coquettishly and cutely.

Madam Mu finally smiled. She tapped Mu Lanfeng's nose and said with a smile, "You little monkey only knows how to make me happy!"

"Grandma isn't angry anymore?"

"Well! Not angry!" Madam Mu said, putting away her smile and looking more serious: "But speaking of which, what's going on with the King of Yan?"

Mu Lanfeng thought for a moment and replied, "Grandma, I'm not too sure about this granddaughter. It's possible that someone is secretly harming her, but it's just a guess!"

"The world is unpredictable and people's hearts are hard to predict. If someone didn't die on the battlefield but died at the hands of his own people, it would be so disheartening!" Old Madam Mu sighed.

"Grandma, people's hearts are hidden. Even ordinary people will do whatever it takes to get their property and land, let alone the royal family!" Mu Lanfeng said slowly.

Madam Mu said worriedly, "Grandmother hopes that you will live a peaceful life. Previously, she hoped that you would marry into the Prince of Yan's Mansion as soon as possible so that your stepmother would not target you everywhere. But now it seems that the Prince of Yan's Mansion may not be a good place to go!"

"It is Lan Feng's fault for causing my grandmother so much trouble. No matter what happens in the future, Lan Feng will be fine!"

Madam Mu's brows relaxed and the wrinkles on her face disappeared.

"Grandma, you haven't had breakfast yet, right? The small kitchen has made some thin porridge and some cakes. Would you like to try some?" Mu Lanfeng deliberately changed the subject.

After hearing what Mu Lanfeng said, Madam Mu really felt a little hungry. She nodded and said, "Then let's try it!"

"Biqing, go to the kitchenette and bring it to grandma!"

Biqing went out in response, and soon came back with a tray containing a small bowl of steaming porridge, a few exquisite side dishes, and a plate of red bean and yam cake.

Upon seeing this, Mother Li hurriedly helped Biqing put the table on the kang, and helped Madam Mu sit up.

"I can do it myself. I'm not an old woman who can't move!" Madam Mu was strong-willed all her life and wanted to do everything by herself.

"Fifth Miss, look at you, you're just an old kid!" Mother Li complained to Mu Lanfeng helplessly.

Mother Li has followed Madam Mu since she was a girl, and the two are as close as sisters, so Mother Li dares to tease her like that.

"Hmph! Old thing!" Madam Mu didn't forget to retort to Mother Li while eating.

"Grandma, how does it taste?" Mu Lanfeng asked.

"Hmm! Not bad, much better than Fu Ji's!" Old Madam Mu took only one bite and put it down.

"Grandma said it was delicious, why don't you eat it?" Mu Lanfeng asked puzzled.

"I'm old and useless. I can't digest if I eat a little more. No matter how delicious it is, I can only taste it!" Old Madam Mu sighed helplessly.

"Grandma is in good health and will live a long life!" Mu Lanfeng felt inexplicably sad.

"You only know how to make me happy!" Madam Mu put down her bowl and chopsticks and continued, "Girl Lan, I'm relieved to see that you are okay! I'm a little tired, I need to go back and sleep for a while!"

"Mother Li, please help grandma go back to rest!" said Mu Lanfeng.

"Fifth Miss, you are too polite. This is what I should do!" said Mother Li.

After watching Madam Mu leave, Mu Lanfeng shouted, "Grandma, take care!"
