"Why do you say that, sister? When did I ever say those things?" Mu Xinyao was stunned. She didn't expect Mu Xinnuan to react so quickly. She immediately cried and denied it, not forgetting to play the victim again, "Grandmother, I have no strength left in my body, Grandmother!"

"Okay, okay! Lie down properly and don't move!"

“Grandmother, my second sister is currently suffering from a rash and should indeed rest. If you have any questions, please go to the main room. Disturbing her while she recovers might leave her with scars, which could affect her entire life.”

Hearing her say that, the old lady felt that Mu Xinnuan was not the kind of child who would treat Mu Xinyao badly! Thinking back on the past few days, she knew very well that Mu Xinnuan would visit Mu Qingyuan at Jinyuan every day after school. She also knew that Mu Xinnuan had indeed made two stews today!

The old lady nodded. "Let's go, let Xinyao get some rest first."

Mu Xinyao hadn't expected the old lady to agree to Mu Xinnuan's request! No way! If she went out and wasn't there, who knew what bad things Mu Xinnuan would say about her?

"Grandmother, Xinyao is in pain. Grandmother, please don't go."

The moment the old lady heard her beloved granddaughter's voice, her heart softened immediately. "Good granddaughter, Grandma won't leave. I'll stay here with you, okay?"

"Alright! Grandmother, was it my sister just now?" Mu Xinyao said, her eyes reddening instantly. This move truly impressed Mu Xinnuan. Were these tears readily available? They just appeared out of nowhere?

The old lady hesitated for a moment, then saw Mu Xin Nuan biting her lip tightly, as if she had something to be wronged about but was unwilling to say it.

His gaze swept downwards and naturally noticed the tea stains and some tea leaves that hadn't been cleaned off on Mu Xin Nuan's skirt!

"what happened?"

"It's nothing! It's nothing!" Mu Xin Nuan shook her head, her eyes slightly flustered. "I accidentally knocked over the teacup. It's alright."

Mu Xinyao glanced at it and realized she was in trouble! She hadn't noticed at all that Mu Xinnuan hadn't cleaned her dress at all! Had she spilled it herself? The more she said that, the less likely her grandmother would believe her.

Sure enough, the old lady's face darkened. She glanced again at the floor tiles near the door; there were still some water stains, not completely dry. If it had been accidentally knocked over, why would it be near the door? There wasn't a small table or a small table there. What was Mu Xin Nuan, a young lady from a prominent family, doing standing there with a cup of tea?

The old lady was a shrewd woman. Although Mu Xinyao was clever, she was still young. The old lady glanced at her a couple of times and understood what was going on. However, considering that her granddaughter Mu Xinyao had the blood of the Song family and didn't have her own mother by her side to take care of her, if she didn't protect her, what would happen?

Having made up her mind, the old lady's expression softened slightly. "Ah Nuan, as the eldest daughter of the Mu family, what kind of behavior is this? You should go back and change quickly. If outsiders see you like this, won't they laugh at our Mu family's daughters for not caring about their dignity?"

"Yes, Grandmother. Your granddaughter has remembered."

She verbally agreed, but Mu Xin Nuan showed no intention of leaving. Just then, she heard Granny Yu outside report, "Reporting to the Old Madam, the Old Master has returned and requests your presence."

Upon hearing this, the old lady immediately stood up. After taking a few steps, she still seemed a little worried. "Anuan, you are the eldest sister, so you should act like one. If your younger siblings do something wrong, just teach them properly. Don't let people think that you, as the eldest daughter, are mistreating your younger siblings."

These words are already a blatant warning!

Mu Xin Nuan smiled slightly and curtsied to the old lady, "Yes, Grandmother. Your granddaughter will remember your teachings."

After seeing the old lady off, Mu Xin Nuan turned around and saw that Mu Xin Yao had actually sat up again, and was now looking at her with a smug expression!

Mu Xin Nuan suddenly couldn't understand Mu Xin Yao! Was she clever or stupid? Did she really think she could be fooled by the old lady's few words? And did she really think she had the upper hand in what just happened?

"Hmph! Grandmother dotes on me, so even if you want to complain, someone has to listen! If you're so capable, go and complain to Grandfather! Let's see if he'll believe you or this sickly me then!"

Upon hearing her say that, Mu Xin Nuan suddenly chuckled!

The laughter was crisp and clear, like the song of a nightingale, or like a tune played on a flute by a young master—it was quite captivating!

"Mu Xin Nuan, what are you laughing at?" Mu Xin Yao immediately felt her hair stand on end when she heard her laugh, and asked through gritted teeth.

"What? My little sister is so nosy. Can't I even laugh?" Mu Xin Nuan said, taking two steps toward the bed. Mu Xin Yao, seeing that there were only the two of them in the room and that she really had no strength left, was afraid that Mu Xin Nuan would really attack her. She was no match for her!

Thinking this, he naturally felt a bit scared and subconsciously shrank further into the bed until his back was completely pressed against the wall before he stopped moving.

"My dear sister, do you know why you've started getting a rash even though you didn't have one before?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Xinyao immediately became alert, her eyes widening as she pointed a finger at her, "It's you! It's you, isn't it? I knew you had bad intentions! You, you're so young, yet so vicious, you, you'll die a horrible death!"

"May you die a horrible death?" Mu Xin Nuan's smile gradually widened. She never expected that Mu Xin Yao in her past life had always pretended to be weak and obedient in front of her, leading her to believe her words and die with her eyes wide open in disbelief! But in this life, she was actually cursing her to die a horrible death right in front of her.

Mu Xin Nuan's eyes even became a little moist!

"Whether I die a horrible death or not is none of your concern, sister! But you, sister, should think about it first. You have a rash right now, yet you keep making such a fuss. Won't that harm yourself?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Xinyao realized she was in trouble! She really had a rash now. Thinking back to what had just happened, she realized she had deliberately sat on the ground to frame her.

Seeing that Mu Xinyao was indeed somewhat frightened, Mu Xinnuan then leisurely walked towards the door.

After a few steps, he turned back and smiled at her, saying, "Good sister, although you hate me, I still have to tell you that the rash on your body is really not caused by me! Where would I get such ability? If you don't believe me, you can ask Aunt Song when you have the chance!"

Seeing the red spots on Mu Xinyao's face, clearly indicating she had been hurt, he pressed on, "Also, do you think the reason Father suddenly ordered Aunt Song to be locked up again is because she not only caused your rash, but also tried to harm Mother, almost killing A Yuan! Think carefully about who you should hate!"
