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

The old lady was overjoyed!

The birthday gift that Mu Xin Nuan prepared with her cousins ​​from the Li family was praised by everyone present except for Mu Xin Yao, who was unhappy about it! In particular, Madam Liu, the first wife, liked Mu Xin Nuan even more than before.

"Well done! Lanxin, you've raised a fine daughter! Excellent!"

Li Shi had only just come to her senses. She had been completely unaware of the birthday gifts Mu Xin Nuan and the others had prepared! Judging from her reaction, the guests present were now certain that these younger generations had indeed kept it a secret from everyone and made them secretly. They really put their hearts into it!

“Oh dear, this top-quality huanghuali wood is quite valuable! How can you children afford it?” A lady in a rose-red dress said, then seemed to realize she had said the wrong thing and quickly corrected herself, “Look at me, why am I bringing this up? You children can’t even afford the wood used in this one chair, let alone the whole set of furniture.”

The more the lady spoke like that, the more uncomfortable everyone felt! Especially Li Wanyue, why did she find those words so awkward? It was as if they had stolen something from someone else!

Li Wanyue was straightforward and couldn't stand being treated like this. She glared at the woman and said, "What this lady says is absolutely right. Of course, we children can't afford it on our own. But each of us children took out our own savings. Although these were gifts from our elders, we earned them honestly! What? Can't we spend this money?"

Mu Xin Nuan quickly pulled Li Wan Yue aside, "Madam, you flatter us. Those with money contributed money, and those with strength contributed strength. My eldest cousin contributed the most money. We children contributed less money, but these were all selected from the timber we bought from our own shop, and we bought them directly at cost price, so they are naturally cheaper than the market price."

When the lady in red took a look, she not only did not embarrass these people, but also enhanced their reputation for filial piety!

The ladies present were either excited or envious!

"Look at this child, how come he's so considerate?"

"That's right! They used their own savings to prepare a birthday gift for the old lady, without causing the elders any trouble. Having such a good child is more comforting than any birthday gift!"

"That's right! Look at the Li and Mu families, the children they raise are so different! Unlike that monkey in our family, who only knows how to cause trouble all day long. I'd be so grateful if he could have even a tenth of their intelligence."

Hearing the praise from the guests, the old lady was overjoyed!

"Alright, I'll make the decision for today. Lanxin, it would be best if you could stay for the night. It's been a long time since we, mother and daughter, have had a proper chat. If it's inconvenient for you to stay, then these children can stay and keep me company. It'll also be good for Anuan to keep Wanyue company, so she won't always complain about not having enough playmates."

What else could Madam Li say? The children had given her such a profound shock today! She nodded in agreement and then instructed someone to go to the outer courtyard to tell the master that she would be staying at the Li residence for a couple of days and would not be returning home.

While the inner courtyard was bustling with activity, news had already spread throughout the outer courtyard that the eldest daughter and two sons of the Mu family had personally crafted a reclining chair as a birthday gift for the old lady. Meanwhile, the young master and young lady of the Li family had also made a square table and incense stand for the old lady, which was also widely discussed!

Ultimately, it all comes down to the deep bond between the two families, and the affection between the younger generation is genuine! Otherwise, how could they have reached an agreement on preparing birthday gifts?

Hearing the envious words of others and seeing the envious expressions on his colleagues' faces, Mu Chang'an felt proud and joyful! His daughter and son had brought honor to him, which meant that the Mu family had earned its reputation!

Of course, it would have been even better if Mu Xinyao hadn't caused all that trouble!

While Mu Chang'an was drinking with his brother-in-law and the others, he was pondering how to properly discipline his illegitimate daughter. After all, she was still his own daughter, and he couldn't just let her run wild.

Besides, Mu Xinyao is only nine years old this year, so there is still a chance to properly train her. Hmm, I made up my mind that when I go back this time, I must have a good talk with the old lady. We can't keep spoiling her. That would only harm her!

After the birthday banquet, Madam Li and her children stayed behind. After thinking it over, Mu Xinyao felt uncomfortable staying, so she made an excuse that they couldn't all stay and someone had to go back to be with her grandmother. Madam Li thought it made sense and let her go back with her husband.

After dismissing the servants, the old lady's expression gradually became more serious. "I heard that Madam Song is still alive and well?"

Li's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly put on a smiling face and said, "Mother, that Song is still your niece, after all. It's not right for a daughter to really beat her to death."

"Hmph!" Before Madam Li could finish speaking, Old Madam Li slammed her cane heavily on the ground. "Foolish! What is that Song woman? You're still worried about her being your mother-in-law's niece? Don't you even think about how your two children almost met their end at her hands!"

Madam Li's face paled, as if she were seeing again the scene of her two children returning to the mansion in a disheveled state. The panic in her eyes was clearly visible to Old Madam Li!

"You're really useless! You're scared the moment this is mentioned! Why didn't you just tell Chang'an and let him deal with this Song family member?"

“Mother, you know that the daughter of the Song family who was sent to the Crown Prince’s residence a few years ago has only recently been made a concubine. If we take action against the Song family now, aren’t we slapping the Crown Prince’s residence in the face?”

Madam Li let out a heavy sigh of relief, and said with some anger at her child's lack of self-control, "You child, you're just too soft-hearted! As the mistress of the house, you should indeed be kind to everyone, but you have to consider who you're dealing with. Why bother with so much when someone wants to kill your children? When this incident occurred, and suspicion was already being placed on Madam Song, you should have taken action!"

"Yes, it's all my daughter's fault!"

"Of course it's all your fault! If anything were to happen to my precious Anuan, I wouldn't have a daughter like you!"

After Madam Li finished speaking, the room fell silent for a long time. Madam Li had been afraid of her mother since she was a child, and now she didn't dare to breathe loudly at all!

Perhaps feeling that her words had been a bit too harsh, seeing Lanxin's submissive expression, her anger subsided considerably. "Lanxin, I know you haven't had a good time in the manor these past years. That old woman from the Mu family has caused you a lot of trouble! But as a daughter-in-law, you should also think carefully. Are you completely without fault? If you were more resourceful, like Anuan, how could you be where you are today?"
