"Xue'er pays her respects to grandma."

Just as Shen Muxue was about to bow, the old lady pulled her into her arms and burst into tears, "Poor child... You must have suffered so much injustice over the years... If I had known that it would be so difficult for you, I would have taken you back no matter what..."

Listening to the old lady's sobbing, Shen Muxue's heart was also filled with waves.

Thinking about how my grandmother cried so sadly, it was not only for myself, but probably more because of her mother who passed away early.

Will every day in the future be filled with regrets because of this?

If she had been taken back earlier, would the ending of the story have been different?

Considering that the old lady's excessive sadness might be harmful to her health, Liu took a lot of effort to calm her down.

Then a group of women surrounded the old woman and walked into the mansion. During the whole time, the old woman held Shen Muxue tightly. Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she turned to the girl standing behind her and explained to everyone.

"This is Mo Yueshi, the orphan I rescued from a disaster three years ago. She's now my goddaughter and will be a member of our Han family. Xue'er, you're two years older than Shi'er. Considering she grew up in the countryside and is unfamiliar with Kyoto, you must take good care of her and give her guidance while she's here."

Having said this, she took Han Luwen's arm and told the three young girls, who looked like they were in their prime, "You three must treat each other sincerely in the future!"

Han Luwen, who is cheerful and straightforward, nodded after hearing this.

I immediately replied, "Don't worry, I will treat Sister Shi'er as my own sister from now on."

As soon as he finished speaking, he stuffed some candies in his hand to Mo Yueshi.

With a smile, she said, "Sister Shi'er, this is the finest soft candy selected from the dessert shop in the west of the city, specially bought for you."

Unlike Kyoto's gentle and beautiful girl image, Mo Yueshi's face shows a unique charm.

Especially those bright eyes, whenever she looked at people, they seemed to exude an indomitable spirit.

This spirit is like the strong herbs growing in the fields.

Full of infinite vitality.

"Then thank you for your kindness, Sister Lu Wen."

As she spoke, she arched her eyebrows and smiled, revealing two cute fangs.

Her straightforwardness and generosity naturally attract people.

Very pleasing.

Compared with Mo Yueshi's temperament, Shen Muxue appears much weaker.

I thought to myself that anyone who could win the old lady's favor could definitely not be an ordinary country girl.

However, since we don't know the background story, there is no need to speculate further.

No matter what task the old lady assigned to her, Shen Muxue always obeyed.

He looks extremely obedient.

Suddenly, a slight humming sound was heard, and there seemed to be a hint of imperceptible sarcasm and "hypocrisy" hidden in the voice.

Just as Shen Muxue raised her eyes, she happened to meet Han Tingzhou's dissatisfied gaze.

Although she didn't know why Han Tingzhou was hostile to her, Shen Muxue knew very well that there was no need to please those who didn't like her.

Just turn your head and pretend you didn't see him.

Unexpectedly, Mo Yueshi suddenly reached out and asked, "I have received the gift you gave me. So, in return, what should I prepare for you?"

Although it sounded like a joke, the laughter and joy at the scene suddenly became stagnant because of this sentence.

Han Luwen, who was standing next to her, looked at Shen Muxue with a guilty expression. The candy in her hand was not actually bought carefully for the other party. She just said so to express her friendship. She didn't expect that it would lead to such a situation.

Just as she was about to open her mouth to defend herself, Mo Yueshi chuckled and said playfully, "Are you scared, Sister Xue'er? It was just a joke."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

The old lady even patted Mo Yueshi's head gently a few times and said dotingly, "What a naughty little boy."

Then Mo Yueshi said a lot of naughty words in rapid succession,

Let the whole room be filled with joyful laughter.

From then on, no one would think that asking for a return gift from others was offensive. Instead, they would think that doing so showed her straightforward and open side. However, the fact that Shen Muxue did not bring a gift was a little inadequate.

However, everyone has forgotten this fact.

From the beginning to the end, Shen Muxue had no idea that she would be accompanied by such an adopted granddaughter when she returned to Beijing with her grandmother.

Now the entire scene is completely dominated by Mo Yueshi, who has become the focus of everyone's attention.

Everyone enjoyed the time in pleasant conversation.

Only a hint of heaviness flashed across Shen Muxue's eyes.

Because she has no interest in competing for anyone's favor or attention.

However, Mo Yueshi revealed a sense of nervousness.

In this way, she clearly declared to Shen Muxue that the old lady and the entire Han family would eventually become her territory.

Shen Muxue felt very bored about this.

While the banquet was taking place, Shen Muxue found an opportunity to leave the noisy crowd and take a breath.

She stood quietly in a corner of the corridor, listening to the laughter and conversations coming from afar, and an inexplicable loneliness enveloped her again.

In this vast world, everyone is connected by an intricate web of relationships.

She was the only one walking alone on a maze that no one understood, as if there was endless darkness all around her.

Finally, some light appeared, and a few fireflies flew by. I thought they were guiding lights.

It was not until dawn that he found himself stuck in the swamp and in a mess.

Suddenly, Mo Yueshi's voice floated from not far away.

"I'm afraid Sister Xue'er will be angry. After all, Big Brother knows that I come from an ordinary family. I don't understand the rules of these grand occasions, nor do I know how to get along with the young ladies in the capital. If necessary, I will go to her in person to apologize."

Mo Yueshi said this with a bit of anxiety.

This was followed by a stern reply: "If she gets angry about this, she's asking for trouble. Since Grandmother has already considered you a member of the family, then you belong to our Han family. Putting aside her moral issues, if she causes trouble again, I will not show any mercy to her."

That was Han Tingzhou's voice.

While they were talking, a subordinate came hurriedly and told them something urgent.

So Han Tingzhou quickly said goodbye and left.

Seeing the time was right, Mo Yueshi was about to leave when she suddenly heard a cold voice from behind: "Miss Mo Yueshi, aren't you going to apologize to me? If so, how about doing it here?"

Seeing Shen Muxue suddenly appear, Mo Yueshi's face flashed with panic for a moment, and then she calmed down and said: "I didn't expect you to eavesdrop on other people's conversations. Kyoto women are really unpredictable."
