The full cup of tea instantly spilled all over the small square table, and the maid serving on the side hurried forward to wipe the skirt for Old Lady Mu.

"Ouch, ouch! Sister, what happened? Don't panic, don't panic!"

Old Madam Jiang and Jiang Fugui also came forward to help the nanny clean up the leftovers.

Jiang Fugui carefully examined Old Lady Mu's hands. After confirming that she wasn't burned by the tea, he comforted her and asked, "Don't worry, Grandma Mu. But... is it really as we suspected?"

Old Lady Mu and Master Mu looked at each other, then nodded and gave her a positive answer.

Jiang Fugui understood in his heart that it was indeed the twelfth young master Mu.

"The fourth young lady of the Mu family is your uncle Mu's biological sister, born of the same mother."

Old Madam Jiang leaned slightly and introduced Jiang Fugui softly.

Jiang Fugui was surprised. This made more sense. They had the same father and mother, and their blood was pure.

When the incense and candles were almost burning out, the fourth young lady of the Mu family arrived, and she brought a square food box with her.

If she wasn't here to get information, then she was here to check the truth about Mu Qingzhou's physical condition.

The news of Mu Qingzhou's illness was kept secret by Old Lady Mu and the eldest branch of the Mu family. They only told the outside world that he had caught a cold and was recuperating in the yard for fear of infecting others.

"Grandma, this is a family matter of the Mu family. Can we go somewhere else and take shelter for a while?"

"Yeah, okay, help me up."

After Jiang Fugui asked Old Lady Jiang, he wanted to help her get up and avoid her.

Outsiders were not allowed to talk about the affairs of the Mu family. Jiang Fugui felt that she only needed to take care of the elders and put an end to the cause and effect.

"No need, no need." Old Lady Mu raised her hand and stopped them, saying, "Sister and Fugui girl, there's no need to avoid them. The Mu family has something to ask of you."

Seeing that Old Lady Jiang was about to get up, Old Lady Mu beckoned to the nanny and asked her to help the person sit down quickly.

Even though he couldn't leave, when Jiang Fugui looked at Old Lady Jiang again, there was a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

Old Lady Jiang thought for a moment, then exchanged a glance with Old Lady Mu before returning to her seat. "Then, Nannan, we'll stay and keep your Grandmother Mu and Uncle Mu company."

Jiang Fugui nodded and replied, "Yes, Grandma."

Old Madam Mu glanced at Jiang Fugui with a worried look, and she smiled and said, "Grandma Mu, I'm here, don't worry."

"okay."

Old Madam Mu looked towards the courtyard gate for a while before asking the nanny to invite the fourth young lady of the Mu family into the main house.

"Mother, brother, I heard Zhou'er has caught a cold these days. Thinking he might have a poor appetite, I prepared two appetizers and some easily digestible pastries. He's sick, and if he doesn't eat, he'll recover slowly."

As Miss Mu Si was talking, she walked into the main house with her maid.

When she entered the door, she was slightly stunned when she saw Old Lady Jiang sitting in the main seat on the left and Jiang Fugui sitting in the first seat on the lower left.

"Mom, brother..."

Fourth Miss Mu bowed slightly to Old Lady Jiang and said, "I'm so sorry I came at such an untimely time. I didn't realize you were here."

When he finished speaking, Jiang Fugui had already paid his respects to Fourth Miss Mu.

At this moment, Miss Mu Si was in a dilemma whether to leave or stay.

However, what she didn't know was that Mu Ning, who was hiding at the gate of the courtyard, had already quietly walked out of the gate with the maid beside her.

As agreed before, the two of them went straight to Mu Lingyuan and picked up Mu Twelve.
