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

Mu Chang'an's face was extremely gloomy as he strode towards Jin Courtyard. Along the way, he frightened quite a few servants.

As soon as Mu Chang'an entered the gate of Jinyuan, she heard Granny Wang advising the madam.

"Madam, please don't worry. Miss is intelligent and won't make things difficult for you."

"It's not that I'm afraid of making things difficult for myself, but I'm worried that the old lady will make things difficult for her. In the end, it's all to protect me from trouble. It's also my fault for being so useless; I only knelt for an hour, and now my body is swollen like this!"

"Madam, please don't say that. The old lady made you kneel on the bluestone slabs. How could your knees not be swollen? The weather is getting colder and colder now. What if you develop a serious illness?"

Mu Chang'an was outside the house and could even hear Wang Mama's sobs.

"I, Madam Mu, the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, actually have to rely on my three children to protect me! This makes me truly ashamed!"

"The three young masters are being filial. They can't bear to see you suffer. You should just take good care of yourself now."

As the master and servant were talking, Mu Chang'an simply lifted the curtain and entered the room.

Mu Chang'an's sudden entrance startled the two of them, causing them to freeze and become unresponsive.

As soon as Mu Chang'an entered the room, he looked directly at Li Shi lying on the couch, his eyes immediately landing on her lower body!

She strode to the bedside, and without saying a word, she lifted the quilt. Underneath, there was a thin blanket. She carefully lifted the blanket to reveal her pair of fair, long legs. However, there was a piece of cotton cloth tied around each knee. The white cotton cloth had long been soaked in medicine stains and turned bluish-black.

Mu Chang'an clenched his fists tightly. Li Shi had been married to him for many years and naturally knew that this was a sign that he was about to get angry. She struggled to get up, but he pressed her down and she couldn't move.

"Say nothing more. Lanxin, I've wronged you. Just wait, although I can't ask my mother for an explanation for you, this household isn't without its rules."

After Mu Chang'an finished speaking, he went straight to the back garden.

At this moment, Mu Xin Nuan was taking Li Shi's place and personally brewing tea for the old lady, while Mu Qing Xuan and Mu Qing Yuan sat to the side, their displeasure making it easy to see that they harbored resentment towards the old lady! Especially Mu Qing Yuan, because of his young age and the old lady's favor, did not know how to hide his feelings, making them even more obvious.

"What's wrong with A-Yuan? Are you feeling unwell?" The old lady was so anxious that she couldn't help but start nagging again, "Hmph! I knew you wouldn't get any good out of your daughter-in-law."

Mu Xinyao then seized the opportunity to say, "Grandmother, my younger brother is still young. Why don't you teach him yourself? Although he's gone to the outer courtyard, he spends most of his daytime hours in the inner courtyard, except when he's in school. Since Mother is currently ill, why don't we bring him to Rongyuan to keep you company?"

Mu Xin Nuan raised an eyebrow, remaining silent as her hands continued their work. Mu Xin Yao, as expected, you've got something to do again! Why can't you just stay quiet for a few days? Or is it that you didn't feel completely humiliated at the Li family that day?

The old lady glanced at Mu Xin Nuan, who was brewing tea. Seeing that Mu Xin Nuan's expression was calm and there was nothing unusual about her, she was thinking that this was not bad. Just then, she heard Mu Qing Yuan stand up and shout, "I don't want to! I want my mother. I want to stay by my mother's side."

The old lady's face darkened. "A-Yuan, what did you say?"

Mu Xin Nuan hurriedly put down the teapot and went to Mu Qing Yuan's side. "A Yuan, don't be rude. How can you speak to your grandmother like that? Where have all the manners you learned at school gone?"

When Mu Qingyuan heard his elder sister scolding him with such a stern face, he felt very wronged. Thinking about how she had always been very loving towards him these days, but today she was actually reprimanding him in the tone of an elder sister, he blushed, bit his lip, twisted his neck, and remained silent.

But in the old lady's eyes, Mu Qingyuan's behavior was disrespectful. This was intolerable!

"How dare you! Ah Yuan, who are you trying to impress with that face?"

Mu Xin Nuan sighed softly, "A Yuan, you are the second young master of the Mu family. In the future, the Mu family will depend on you and your brother A Xuan to support it together. How can you be so ignorant of the rules? If you don't want to stay by your grandmother's side, you can just say so. Your grandmother loves you very much. If you feel it's inappropriate, you can tell your parents your thoughts. Why do you have to be like this?"

Hearing this, Mu Qingyuan awkwardly turned his head back. "Elder sister, I've already talked to Mother. After the New Year, I can learn riding and archery with my brother. Besides, I don't spend much time in Mother's courtyard, and she takes great care of me."

The last sentence may seem insignificant, but it was a real slap in the face to the old lady!

Look, your old lady thinks that Mu Qingyuan suffered injustice in Jinyuan and had no one to take care of him, but he himself doesn't feel that he suffered any injustice in Jinyuan. Moreover, he also made it clear that he didn't spend much time in Jinyuan. Isn't this saying that the old lady is making trouble for no reason?

Sure enough, the old lady's face darkened, and she slammed her hand on the table. "Well, you all seem to have gotten quite bold. Are you trying to anger this old woman to death?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Xin Nuan caught sight of a vibrant green figure at the entrance to the back garden. She quickly pulled Mu Qing Yuan down to kneel, while also giving Mu Qing Xuan a meaningful look.

“Grandmother, please calm down. That’s not what A-Yuan meant. You know that Mother has always been kind-hearted. She has never mistreated my younger brother and sister in the slightest. My brother would never have been wronged by Mother. Please calm down, Grandmother.”

Mu Xin Nuan was perhaps in a hurry, and her voice was a bit loud. In this pavilion, which had little to no cover, it was easy for the sound to carry.

Mu Xinyao glared at her with resentment, while also patting the old lady's back to help her catch her breath.

"Fine! Now you all think that I, this old woman, have bullied your mother, don't you?"

The old lady was so shrewd that she naturally connected the three men's attitude today with Li's kneeling in the Buddhist hall yesterday.

"Grandmother, Anuan wouldn't dare!"

The three children knelt there, not daring to utter another word. In the old lady's eyes, it was her accumulated authority that had intimidated them, but she failed to see that Mu Xin Nuan, with her head bowed, had a faint smile playing on her lips.

"What are you doing, Mother? Why are all three children kneeling on this bluestone slab?" Mu Chang'an's anger flared even more when she saw the three children! At the same time, she felt genuine heartache for them!

Upon hearing Mu Chang'an's voice, all three of them raised their heads in unison. Mu Xinnuan's eyes were slightly red, and she bit her lower lip to stop herself from crying. However, Mu Qingyuan, who was kneeling next to her, couldn't hold back when he saw her and burst into tears.
