Mu Xin Nuan descended the steps, a slight smile playing on her lips. Her naturally upturned lips, combined with this smile, gave off a warm and pure feeling. Even the greatest troubles seemed to vanish the moment one saw Mu Xin Nuan's smile!

Mu Qingxuan was the first to arrive in front of her. Because she was two years younger, although the height difference wasn't huge, it was still noticeable.

“Sister, I asked Father, and he said he would allow you to go to school with us in a few more days.”

"it is good!"

Mu Xin Nuan nodded, knowing that her father was worried about her. After all, she was a girl, different from boys. If something happened again and her reputation was damaged, it would be quite bad!

“Actually, Father is overthinking it. Our clan school is right next door, how could there be such a daring madman?” After Mu Xin Nuan finished speaking, she looked at Mu Qing Yuan, who was shrinking behind Mu Qing Xuan and dared not make a sound.

"What's wrong, A-Yuan? He seems to be in a bad mood. Is it because he couldn't memorize the book the teacher assigned in class?"

"No, no!" Mu Qingyuan waved his little hand, but when he saw Mu Qingxuan glare at him, he immediately wilted and lowered his head, whispering, "No! I recited all the books the teacher asked me to recite. I wasn't punished by the teacher."

"That's good then." Mu Xin Nuan said, then took the two little hands, one on each side, and went to the small pavilion in the courtyard.

The three siblings quickly put their unpleasant experiences behind them. Mu Qingyuan, who had initially been somewhat timid, also began to laugh under Mu Xinnuan's deliberate guidance. The two brothers took turns recounting some of the funny things that had happened to them at school, all in an effort to make Mu Xinnuan smile!

When Madam Li accompanied Mu Chang'an over, she happened to witness this scene.

Madam Li said with some concern, "Master, the three children are getting along better and better, but Xinyao doesn't seem to like being close to them. Ever since she recovered from her rash, she has stayed indoors. I'm worried that if this goes on for too long, the children will develop a rift."

Mu Chang'an gave his wife a meaningful look, and disregarding that they were in the courtyard, he reached out and firmly grasped her hand. "Madam is magnanimous! Although we haven't been able to produce any real evidence this time, the facts are right here. If you say that it has nothing to do with Song Tao and the others, I simply won't believe it!"

After saying this, he glanced at the three siblings in the pavilion and said with some relief, "However, I didn't expect to see the three children getting along so well! Nuan is a smart child, and she has probably already guessed some of it."

Madam Li nodded. "What you say is right, Ah Nuan is indeed a clever child. However, I've noticed that she treats Ah Yuan the same as always these past few days, and there's nothing wrong with it."

"Hmm, it seems that Anuan is also a kind-hearted child. It's just Xinyao."

Mentioning her troublesome second daughter, Mu Chang'an couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. "This child is just like her mother, too unruly! You are her legal mother, so if you have time, you should teach her properly. If that doesn't work, then have someone invite a strict tutor to come back."

"Since you trust me, my lord, I have no more reservations." After saying this, Madam Li sighed softly, "Xinyao is already nine years old. I'm afraid her temperament is hard to change."

"It is good that you have done your best, Madam. Even if you really cannot teach well, it is not your fault."

Touched by her husband's understanding words, Li nodded gently, "I will do my best."

As the two were talking, Mu Xin Nuan noticed them and was about to get up to greet them when Mu Chang An waved her off. Then the two of them came over and sat down with the three of them in the pavilion, where they began to chat.

Seeing her two sons working so hard to make them happy, Mu Chang'an felt a surge of emotion. These children were all exceptionally well-behaved, especially A'Nuan! As the eldest daughter, she always possessed a magnanimous and graceful demeanor, and a kind and gentle attitude towards others. In this respect, she was very much like her mother.

"By the way, is Ah Nuan eager to go to school?"

“That’s right. Every day, my two younger brothers tell my daughter about it, and she wishes she could fly there.” Mu Xin Nuan said with a smile.

“I know you’re anxious! But there’s no need to fly there. Your grandfather and I have already discussed it. I bought the house next door a few days ago. It’s not a big house, just three courtyards. I’ve already had it cleaned and prepared. When we get back, we’ll set up the clan school next door. That way, whether you go to school or travel back and forth, your father and I won’t have to worry anymore.”

Li only learned of this from his words and immediately thought it was excellent. "Master's thinking is indeed thorough. However, this is the clan school. Do the elders in the clan agree?"

“Of course! That house was bought by our family. We just moved the clan school here. Moreover, this house has three courtyards, which is just right for the two female teachers and several nannies to live in the back courtyard, which is separate from the front courtyard. This is convenient and saves the elders in the clan a lot of trouble. Isn’t that killing two birds with one stone?”

Mu Xin Nuan understood that the main reason her father did all this was to make it easier for her and her siblings to go to school. She was deeply moved by her father's thoughtfulness.

"Thank you, Father, for your thoughtful consideration. With this arrangement, the female teacher's residence is secured, and we girls can also attend school in the backyard, where we can learn the Four Books and Five Classics and needlework without any disruption."

“Ah Nuan is right! That’s exactly right!”

The family was chatting happily when Granny Yu hurried over. "Reporting to Master and Madam, a young master has come to the manor. He says he is an old acquaintance of the eldest young lady and the eldest young master, and has just been invited to the front hall for tea. He says he is here to play with the eldest young lady and the eldest young master."

Playing? Suddenly, Mu Chang'an thought of that day's somewhat lazy and wicked voice of the young master, and her heart skipped a beat. She looked at Madam Li, "Could it be?"

Mu Xin Nuan also came to her senses, quickly got up, called Mu Qing Yuan, and followed her father to the front hall.

The news of the arrival of a distinguished guest quickly reached Mu Xinyao's ears. She had also heard about the danger that Mu Xinnuan and her brother had encountered a few days ago, and she secretly resented their good fortune in being rescued by a noble person! Now that she heard that the noble person had arrived, how could she, who was eager to climb the social ladder, not go out to meet him?

At this moment, Mu Xinyao really didn't suspect her own uncle! After all, she was still young, how could she know that her aunt would come up with such a vicious trick?

After several days of self-reflection, Mu Xinyao has now clearly realized a problem: she doesn't have a powerful enough backer to rely on! That's why she's been suffering defeat after defeat in this manor!

Now that a distinguished person has come to her door, how could she let such a great opportunity pass by?
