It's good to exchange marriages. My sister eats coarse food while I wear gold and silver.

Bai Wei, who had been outside the courtyard, heard Mu Qing's shouting and immediately ran in: "Mu Qing, don't be so loud. The doctor said that your grandmother can no longer withstand any more torture."

"Why is my grandmother like this? Did you do something to her?" Mu Qing's red eyes were filled with anger.

“No one did anything to your grandmother.”

"Then why did she say something different from what I experienced?" Mu Qing gasped for breath. "You must have given grandma some kind of magic potion. If you have any dissatisfaction, come to me. Why did you hurt grandma?"

"Qing'er, you are so grown up now, why are you still causing trouble like when you were little?" The dissatisfied voice of Mrs. Mu came from the back, "Don't be like your mother, making a fuss and acting so frivolous."

Mu Qing turned his head and stared at his grandmother in a daze.

This was not the grandmother she remembered.

"Grandma, grandma..."

Mu Qing squatted in front of Old Madam Mu and held her hand: "Do you still remember that after I was kicked out of the Gale Camp, you brought me into the palace?"

"Of course I remember. If you hadn't forced me to die, how could I possibly give up the formation diagram that your grandfather had treasured for so many years?" Old Madam Mu's eyes flashed with disgust. It was not pretended, but real disgust. "If I had known that you were so useless, I should have picked a good child from the royal family."

"grandmother……"

Mu Qing was completely silent now. Her grandmother remembered what happened in the past, but she put all the blame on herself.

This……

"Grandma, why is this happening? Why would she..."

"Your grandmother had a stroke before and couldn't speak. I couldn't bear it, so I looked for a doctor for her. At first, she saw several doctors but they all said she couldn't be helped. Later, I found a very famous doctor who gave the old lady several injections and took medicine for almost half a year. The old lady's eyes and mouth were no longer crooked. Not only could she get out of bed and walk on her own, she could also eat on her own. As for what she said, even if I knew, there was no need for me to tell her..."

"Qing'er, you are not young anymore. It is the right thing for you to get married soon."

"Grandma, I'm going to marry Lu Sui."

"How can you be worthy of a man like Young Marquis Lu?" Old Madam Mu glared at her granddaughter, "Don't say such things again in the future."

This sentence completely made Mu Qing give up.

At the same time, she also vaguely felt that her grandmother seemed to blame her for everything that happened in the past?

"No, it's impossible, Grandma. If I hadn't listened to you, how could I have become like this? Or if I had said it and you stopped me in time, I wouldn't have been so stubborn."

"Qing'er, I don't know how many times I have advised you, but did you listen?" Old Madam Mu said with a look of grief, "You have been spoiled by me, but now that you are back, just listen to your Aunt Bai Wei and don't talk back to your father."

"Grandma, everything I did was at your request. How could it become that I did it on my own?" Mu Qing cried out in despair. She didn't want to admit that the person in front of her was her grandmother, but she remembered it all.

"It's what you did. I didn't force you to do it."

This sentence completely made Mu Qing give up.

She closed her eyes, her face dead.

"Let your grandmother rest. I'll take you to see your mother-in-law. Perhaps you can get the answer from her."

Feng Yingying lived in the courtyard where she entered the Mu Mansion. She dressed simply and kept a low profile.

"Your grandmother has always been like this. I'm not surprised."

After listening to her daughter-in-law's words, Feng Yingying looked at Mu Qing, whose face was covered with tears: "I thought she had lost her memory or her memory was disordered, but in the end I found out that she said this on purpose to protect herself."

"Impossible, grandma won't do that." Feng Yingying's words were a devastating blow to Mu Qing. She lost all her strength in an instant and could only repeat them over and over again.

"Originally, I can't say much about the matter between you and your grandchildren, lest you think I'm trying to sow discord, but when you go to see her in person and hear what she says..." Feng Yingying shook her head, with a hint of sarcasm on her face, "You know, when she was young, she hurt many people with this. And do you know why your grandmother insisted on training you?"

"It was because my brother was sick that my grandmother placed her hopes on me."

"wrong."

"No matter how sick and weak Yu'er is, as long as he is still alive, he will inherit the Mu family. And you are just a knife in your grandmother's hand. When the elders of the royal family disagreed, why didn't she fight for you? Besides, there are precedents for women to be the head of the family. It is not considered treason or going against the ancestors."

“But…if it weren’t for my grandmother, I would have been drowned in the Mu family.”

"Your father told me that when you were born, your grandmother was afraid that your birth mother wouldn't be able to take good care of you, so she took you away, saying that she would raise you herself. But in fact, your father had already found a tutor for you when you were still in your birth mother's belly. Those tutors all came from the palace. Although they couldn't teach you how to wield a sword or a gun, they could ensure that when you grow up, no matter who you marry, you can live well with your own abilities."

Feng Yingying’s two sentences have actually made it very clear.

Old Madam Mu is at least half responsible for Mu Qing's current state.

"That is to say... my grandmother has only been doing this all these years because she sees that I am a member of the Mu family..." Mu Qing laughed. She had experienced so many hardships before, but her heart had always been steadfast. She was thinking that after she succeeded, she would return to the Mu Mansion to take revenge, and then bring her grandmother over to spend her old age with her.

But now Feng Yingying told herself that she had been a pawn in her grandmother's hands since she was born, and her love for her was just because she was useful to her?

"You are lying. I don't believe it. I don't believe my grandmother is such a person."

"You may not believe it, after all, she has been teaching you and protecting you since you were young. But Mu Qing, you can recall everything that happened in the past, especially after Young Marquis Lu got married. Your grandmother knew that it was the emperor who arranged the marriage, and a normal person would have been too busy to avoid suspicion. But she still encouraged you not to give up? Even if she knew that you really liked Young Marquis Lu, it would take a year or two. Why did you rush forward when he was lying on the sickbed and couldn't move?"

Feng Yingying shook her head. She really felt sorry for Mu Qing.

"If you still don't believe me, you can ask the old servants in the mansion, especially the ones who served in your grandmother's room before. They know it very well."

"so what?"

Mu Qing laughed, but his laughter was so weak and feeble: "Am I just a joke? My parents don't want me, my grandmother treats me as a pawn, and I sacrificed my entire life for the Mu family's reputation?"
