Destroy the scumbag husband, beat the bitch, the reborn legitimate daughter overturns the entire cap

The news that Mu Xin Nuan had sent some good food to Song Shi on the first day of the Lunar New Year quickly reached the ears of the old master and Mu Chang An.

"What does Father think of Ah Nuan?"

“She’s a smart child, and most importantly, she’s someone who considers the bigger picture. Moreover, she always thinks about the Mu family and Li Shi. This time, it was clearly her idea to have someone do it, but she insisted that Granny Yu imply that it was Li Shi’s idea. To put it bluntly, it was also for your sake, so that you, as her wife, could have a better relationship with your mother.”

Mu Chang'an really didn't know what to say to the old lady. No matter what, she was his biological mother. He couldn't go against his mother for the sake of his wife, could he?

Moreover, in the past six months, Mu Chang'an's attitude towards household affairs has become noticeably tougher than before, which has made the old master quite relieved.

"Chang'an, the court will convene after the fifteenth. You will be the Minister of Works now. To be honest, it may be difficult to rise further in this position, but I am quite at ease! After all, among the six ministries, apart from the Ministry of Rites, your Ministry of Works is the least prominent and the one that various factions are least eager to win over!"

"Yes, Father, I understand. Father, although I am young, I also understand that some things cannot be judged by appearances alone. Moreover, the struggle for imperial power has always been the most brutal, and the possible outcomes are often unpredictable to outsiders. Now, although the Crown Prince has gained the Emperor's trust, it must be said that his military power..."

The old man nodded, his face also filled with worry. "This is exactly what I'm worried about! Our Mu family has been a family of scholars for generations. Although we may not be particularly glorious, we have at least lived up to our ancestors' expectations. But my daughter-in-law's family is, after all, a military family! If others can't win over the Li family, their eyes will naturally turn to our Mu family. Of course, the other two in-laws of the Li family will not be able to escape either. However, as the eldest son of the Mu family in this generation, you should understand how to choose."

"Yes, Father. I will think things through carefully before acting, and I will never let the Mu family fall into a predicament."

"It's good that you understand. Although the Mu family can't be said to be very prosperous, at least you and Changping are officials in the court in your generation. And although your cousin's official position is currently low, he is still an official. Whether the Mu family can prosper in the future depends on you."

"Father, your son is filled with fear."

The old man waved his hand, “There are too many things in this world that are beyond people’s expectations. Just like Anuan! Although she was intelligent before, she was still young and a girl, so I never thought of placing all the hopes of the Mu family on her. But now it seems that I was wrong.”

"What does Father mean?" Mu Chang'an vaguely guessed something, but felt it was unlikely!

“Anuan, although she is a girl, she still needs to be carefully nurtured. Her chess skills are quite good, thanks to your personal instruction. However, she should also be taught poetry and painting by the best teachers. In my opinion, after she turns fifteen, she can start taking lessons on her own at Yuexuan. In addition, her musical skills should not be neglected.”

"Yes, Father. Your son understands."

If it was just speculation before, it's now certain. Their daughter's behavior over the past six months has truly exceeded their expectations. Before, while they loved Mu Xinnuan, it was merely the affection of a child. But now, that affection clearly contains more hope and anticipation!

"Father, Anuan is still young. Is all of this true?"

Mu Chang'an still felt sorry for his daughter. Now that His Highness the Grandson had begun selecting consorts, his daughter, after reaching marriageable age, would likely only be able to enter the household as a concubine at best. Given the family background of the General of the State's mansion, Li Wanyue could only possibly win the title of secondary consort. No matter how outstanding their Mu family's daughter was, what could she possibly achieve?

The old man shook his head. "Who can say for sure about matters concerning the royal family? It's like this now, but who knows what will happen in a few years? Life is unpredictable!"

Mu Chang'an had to admit that his father's words were indeed true; things are unpredictable!

While Mu Xin Nuan was engrossed in reading medical books in the Moon Pavilion, she was unaware that she had quietly changed her own destiny.

Joyful days always pass by very quickly. Mu Xin Nuan felt that it had only been a few days since the New Year, but in the blink of an eye, it was already the Lantern Festival!

"Eldest sister, why don't you come with us? Let's go see the lanterns, solve riddles, and compose couplets together, isn't that nice?" Mu Qingyuan said coquettishly, shaking Mu Xinnuan's arm.

“Yes, sister, why don’t you come with us?” Mu Qingxuan also advised from the side.

Mu Xin sighed softly. Today was the Lantern Festival, and she knew it was the most lively day of the year, a day when many children and even adults enjoyed going out to admire the lanterns. But when she thought of her encounter with that scumbag in her past life, she became extremely sensitive to the words "Lantern Festival"!

In her past life, she met Jin Hui during the Lantern Festival. Of course, she was older then, but what good was age? She had ultimately misjudged him, losing her life at his hands. Just thinking about it made Mu Xin Nuan feel like the most foolish woman in the world!

Madam Li chimed in, "Since everyone wants to go, let's all go together. Master, why don't you come too? It just so happens that Tingting and Zhuangzhuang are here this year; this is their first time celebrating the Lantern Festival in the capital."

Mu Xin Nuan knew that once her mother mentioned her cousins, she would have no way to refuse.

Sure enough, the father smiled and agreed, and had three carriages prepared, with two guards accompanying each person, just in case they got separated again, at least the guards of the manor would be with them, so that nothing serious would happen.

Mu Xin Nuan had no choice but to nod in agreement. However, she had just returned to the courtyard to change her clothes when she heard Mu Qing whisper, "Miss, the Song family has made contact with them again. This time, their target is still you and the eldest young master."

A ruthless glint flashed in Mu Xin Nuan's eyes. "This Song family member is really restless! Does she really think that with Song Tao, she can make a comeback? She's just delusional!"

"Miss, although the Lantern Festival is lively, there are hidden dangers behind this liveliness. What do you think?"

"It's alright. Ah Xuan has a martial arts-skilled servant sent by his uncle, so there should be no problem. Besides, Father has sent additional men. Moreover, it's not just people from our Mu family who are going to admire the lanterns today."

Mu Qing's eyes lit up. "What does Miss mean?"
