To be honest, any old lady who can become the mistress of a house must be a woman who has experienced many ups and downs and has some skills and abilities.

Jiang Fugui didn't finish his words, but both Old Madam Mu and Old Madam Jiang had some thoughts in their minds.

"Sister, shall we go sit in the main house? It's too windy outside to stay for long."

"Well, that's good. The stone bench is a bit cold after sitting on it."

As they were talking, the two old ladies stood up tacitly with the help of the maids and servants behind them.

"Is the eldest master in the mansion?" Madam Mu turned around and asked the little maidservant who was serving Mu Ning. Without hesitation, she said, "If he is, please invite him over immediately and tell him that I need something from him."

The little maid glanced at Mu Ning who was standing beside her, and saw her nod and wave, then she bowed and walked quickly towards the gate of the yard.

The two old ladies walked in front, Mu Ning and Jiang Fugui followed half a step behind, and behind them were the maids and servants from the two families.

"Second Miss, Zhou'er..."

Mu Ning finally couldn't help herself and opened her mouth again, wanting to confirm something with Jiang Fugui, but the uneasiness in her heart became more and more serious.

Jiang Fugui smiled faintly at Mu Ning: "Aunt Ning, don't worry. After today, Mu Qingzhou will be fine and won't be as miserable as he is now."

"But really?"

"Well, I don't lie, don't worry, Aunt Ning."

Upon hearing this, Mu Ning choked up and did not ask any further questions.

After the masters had entered the main house, Old Lady Mu asked Mu Ning to dismiss the servants in her house.

Seeing this, Old Lady Jiang also asked all the maids in the Jiang Mansion to stay outside the main house.

In fact, the people from the Mu Mansion did not go far away, but stayed in various places in the yard.

Master Mu must have been jogging all the way here, and when he stepped into the main house, he was obviously out of breath.

"Mother, what happened? Why are you looking for me so anxiously? But Zhou'er..."

Master Mu had only said half of his words when he saw Old Lady Jiang and Jiang Fugui. After a moment of hesitation, he asked, "What is this?"

Jiang Fugui stood up first and saluted Master Mu, who nodded, and then he saluted Old Madam Jiang.

Old Lady Mu did not reply to Master Mu's words, but turned her gaze to Jiang Fugui: "Fugui, now that everyone is here, can we talk?"

Jiang Fugui took two steps forward, stretched out his hand, and presented the jade pendant in his palm to the elders.

"Is it Zhou'er's jade pendant?" Mu Ning exclaimed, then looked at Jiang Fugui in confusion, "The problem... is it with this jade pendant?"

Jiang Fugui didn't keep the topic in suspense and asked directly, "Old Madam Mu, Uncle Mu, Aunt Ning, can you tell me how this jade pendant came about?"

"Jade pendant?"

Master Mu reminisced for a moment, then looked at Mu Ning with a questioning and confirming look in his eyes: "I remember Zhou'er's jade pendant was a first birthday gift from my fourth sister?"

Hearing her husband's question, Mu Ning thought carefully before nodding and confirming, "It's this piece. Because it's carved with a small boat, it echoes Zhou'er's name, so Zhou'er was very happy with it. Since then, she has carried it with her day and night..."

"Then...are there any children in the Mu Mansion who are about the same age as Mu Qingzhou? Well... to be precise, they should be within three years of each other. If they are within a year of each other, that would be the best."
