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

At this moment, a sharp-eyed lady noticed a small sachet on Li Wanyue's body. It was very beautiful, and the embroidery technique was clearly cross-stitch!

Li Wanyue noticed the puzzled looks on everyone's faces and pushed away Mu Xinnuan's hand that was trying to stop her. "Mother, these are the things my cousin brought into the manor today. She brought a lot of them and put them all in my courtyard. My cousin said they were just some little trinkets she made on the spur of the moment, just to amuse everyone! Who would have thought that this Second Miss Mu would actually give these things to Grandmother as a birthday gift? How shameless of her!"

"Wanyue!" Madam Liu scolded softly, "Don't talk nonsense! No matter what the gift is, it's a token of her affection for your grandmother. Don't be rude."

Li Wanyue pouted and stopped answering. Instead, she glared at Mu Xinyao with disdain, then turned and snuggled up to Old Madam Li.

Mu Qingyuan tilted her head and looked at the embroidery. "This 'longevity' character is indeed very beautiful! It turns out that Second Sister also prepared a gift for Grandmother. We didn't even know."

Madam Li sensed something amiss in those words and quickly asked, "A-Yuan, what do you mean by that?"

“Reporting to Grandmother, a few days ago, my eldest sister came to my brother and me, saying she wanted to prepare a birthday gift for you. Originally, we also wanted to go to my second sister, but she was unwell, and my eldest sister was afraid of disturbing her rest, so she didn't send anyone to find her. She just said that the three of us siblings would do it, and when we got here, we would say that the four of us were doing it together for Grandmother. But who knew that my second sister had already prepared a separate birthday gift for you.”

"Ah Yuan, come here quickly, come to your elder sister."

Mu Xinyao was instantly stunned! When she presented this embroidery, she did say that she had embroidered it herself, and she didn't mention her sister or brother at all! But now?

Mu Xinyao was utterly confused! Was this younger brother really her biological brother? Why was he always helping Mu Xinnuan? It was utterly despicable!

However, no matter how much hatred Mu Xinyao felt, she dared not show it on her face. She could only bite her lip and suppress her resentment. She only thought about how to minimize the impact on herself.

Everyone had clearly heard what Mu Qingyuan had just said. It turned out that Mu Xinnuan had long intended to prepare a birthday gift for Old Madam Li, but she hadn't asked her younger sister to do it because she was worried about her sister's health. She was waiting until they arrived here, and then said that the four siblings would make it together.

But to everyone's surprise, the second young lady completely disregarded everything and presented her own creations without mentioning anyone else. This comparison made the difference immediately apparent! In everyone's eyes, Mu Xinyao's reputation naturally dropped by three points!

Someone even whispered, "A legitimate son is a legitimate son, and a son born out of wedlock is a son born out of wedlock. They really can't be compared!"

Mu Qingyuan blushed slightly upon hearing this, seemingly displeased. Mu Xinnuan quickly grabbed his small hand, "Ayuan, since we're talking about gifts, why don't you come with your brother to move the things over, okay?"

Upon hearing his elder sister's warm and gentle voice, Mu Qingyuan immediately nodded, "Okay!"

Before Li could figure out what was going on, she saw the two brothers running out of the back room.

Madam Li was overjoyed! Originally, she felt displeased because she thought Mu Xinyao was trying to show off here. But when she thought about how her own granddaughter hadn't prepared anything for her, she felt a little disappointed. However, upon hearing this, her mood immediately improved.

No one expected that the two brothers would actually have to carry in a huanghuali folding chair with great effort!

Several servants followed behind the two men, as if afraid that the two young masters might get tired or hurt!

The servants finally breathed a sigh of relief after the recliner was delivered to the back hall.

Madam Li was completely stunned! She unconsciously got up, leaned on her cane, and was then helped by Li Wanyue and Mu Xinnuan. Upon closer inspection, the workmanship and the lacquer were truly astonishing!

Everyone couldn't sit still any longer and came closer to take a closer look. They saw that the main design on the back of the chair was a pattern of a qilin, a treasure vase, and auspicious clouds. The pattern was raised quite high, and some parts were almost sculpted in the round. In particular, the cloud pattern on the back gave it a bone-carving feel.

"Reporting to Grandmother, this folding chair is very convenient to carry and store because its legs are crossed, and it can be used both indoors and outdoors. I remember Father saying that royalty, nobles, and high-ranking officials used this kind of chair when they went on tours or hunting. Grandmother is getting old, so Xin Nuan came up with this idea. Do you like it?"

"I love it! I love it! Ah Nuan is so thoughtful!"

Mu Xin Nuan and Li Wan Yue exchanged a smile. "Grandmother, you're getting a little excited! This huanghuali reclining chair was made by us. There's also a matching huanghuali square table with three curved legs and a five-legged incense stand with a base—those two were made by my cousins! We'd already discussed it privately and made a set especially for you! I reckon those two items have already been delivered to your courtyard by now."

Upon hearing this, the old lady's smile deepened, and she couldn't stop smiling!

Originally, Liu felt that her sister's child was sensible, which made her own child seem unfilial! She was somewhat annoyed, but hearing this made her feel much better!

Liu's affection for Mu Xinnuan grew even stronger! This child is truly a good child! Even when it comes to showing filial piety and being in the limelight, she doesn't only think of herself. Besides her own younger brother, she also thought of her own children.

Li Wanyue smiled and said, "Grandmother, Anuan not only prepared this for you, but also a leather rug, which is perfect for laying on this recliner. It's neither uncomfortable nor cold. Don't you think Anuan is too thoughtful?"

The old lady was overjoyed!

"Good! Good! What good children! You made all of this yourselves?"

“Grandmother, the boys did all the initial material splitting and such. As for the carvings, hehe, the simpler ones were done by them, and the slightly more complex ones were done by a craftsman. Also, the lacquer finish was done by us girls. Oh, and the carvings on the chair back were based on Sister Nuan’s flower pattern,” Li Wanyue explained.

"Good! Very good!" At this moment, all Old Madam Li could say was "good," and nothing else! Then, the ladies and young misses in the room burst into praise! But that wasn't the end of it!

Mu Qingxuan and Mu Qingyuan pointed to the topmost beam. The old lady looked closely and saw that it was engraved with four small characters: Fu (福), Lu (禄), Shou (寿), and Xi (喜).
