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

Mu Xin Nuan and the other two were quickly led away. Although she didn't hear what her father and the old lady said, she was certain that it wasn't anything nice. Just by looking at her father's face, she knew that he was furious!

Mu Xin Nuan didn't go to Jin Yuan because she knew her mother must be very anxious right now. The little maid hiding medicine dregs at the second gate was just something she had ordered; for now, she should just stay quietly in Yue Xuan.

"Miss, Young Master Zhao has sent a letter." Rong Yue said with a happy expression, holding a letter in her hand.

After reading the letter, Mu Xin Nuan's smile grew wider and wider. "That's great. I can go out and travel. Brother Zi He, you're destined for great things in the future."

Without realizing it, she thought of Zhao Zihe from her past life, who died tragically in a foreign land because of her. She hoped that in this life, because of her rebirth, good people would ultimately be rewarded!

Several days passed in a flash. After that incident, the old lady no longer dared to make things difficult for Li Shi. Mu Xinyao was indeed confined to her home. At the same time, Li Shi hired several strict nannies to teach her, and she was relatively well-behaved.

"Elder sister, I learned the Analects at school today, but there is a sentence I don't understand. I would like to ask you for guidance."

"Oh? Why not ask Ah Xuan?"

"My brother is too busy. He's probably changed his clothes and gone to practice his boxing again." When Mu Qingyuan said this, Mu Xin Nuan noticed that he didn't complain at all. Instead, he unconsciously revealed a hint of heartache! Was he worried about his brother?

Mu Xin Nuan's lips curled into a smile as she put down her embroidery. "Then tell me, let's see if eldest sister can do it?"

“Yes. Zixia said: ‘To value virtue over beauty; to serve one’s parents with all one’s might; to serve one’s ruler with utmost loyalty; and to be trustworthy in one’s dealings with friends—even if one has not formally studied, I would still consider such a person to have learned.’”

Mu Xin Nuan nodded. "Does A Yuan know where this saying comes from?"

“I know. It comes from the Analects, Book 1, Chapter 1.”

“Ah Yuan is truly remarkable. What this means is that a person who values ​​virtue over women, serves their parents with utmost devotion, serves their ruler with their life, and speaks honestly and keeps their promises to their friends—such a person, even if they claim they haven't studied, Zixia would certainly say they have. Do you understand what my elder sister is saying?”

Mu Qingyuan tilted her head and thought for a moment, "Elder sister, why did he say he hadn't studied it, but Zixia said he had?"

"That's because some things and some principles don't necessarily have to be formally learned in school. Sometimes, you can see them in the little things around you. For example, if you see your father being filial to your grandmother, you will also know how to be filial to your parents. Do you understand?"

Mu Qingyuan nodded. "I understand. Eldest sister explained it very well, even better than the teacher."

"Nonsense! How could I possibly be a match for you, sir?"

"Miss, Second Young Master, the Old Master and Master have invited you young masters to the front hall. They said that we have guests who are relatives and would like to get to know them first."

Mu Xin Nuan was slightly taken aback, she really couldn't imagine what kind of relatives would come at this time. In her previous life, she had never heard of any relatives coming to seek refuge.

She took Mu Qingyuan's small hand and they walked slowly towards the front hall. Suddenly, she remembered that in her previous life, the old lady had a relative whose family had suffered a tragedy, leaving only a daughter. She couldn't remember her name, only that she was called Xu, and that she later seemed to have married her father as a concubine. Could it be?

Mu Xin Nuan's heart tightened slightly. She remembered that in her previous life, she was twelve years old when that Xu family came to seek refuge. But in this life, many things had obviously changed drastically. Could it be that this Xu family had also come much earlier?

Upon entering the front hall, Mu Xin Nuan immediately recognized the woman dressed in plain clothes as Madam Xu!

“Anuan is here. Come here quickly. This is my sister’s youngest daughter. My sister passed away three years ago, and her sister-in-law is a formidable woman who can’t tolerate her. Now, the mourning period has just ended, and her sister-in-law has already set her sights on marrying her off to a crippled, impoverished official. How could I, as her aunt, bear to do that?”

As the old lady spoke, she squeezed out two tears, which made Li feel a little more sympathy for this Xu woman.

Mu Xin Nuan sneered inwardly. Why now that Song Shi has lost power and wants to plant another spy by her father's side? How could the old lady's trick fool Mu Xin Nuan, who has been reborn?

Mu Chang'an didn't think much about it at the moment. He had met this cousin before and naturally had some impression of her. Now, seeing her gentle and weak appearance, he felt a mix of emotions.

Mu Xin Nuan saw her father's expression and understood that they were related by blood after all. Although the bond wasn't strong, it was a relationship that had existed since childhood. Now, Xu Shi was pale, clearly not well cared for, and her figure was rather thin, though this didn't detract from her beauty and figure at all!

Add to that her pitiful, weak, and helpless appearance, and nine out of ten men would probably be tempted.

"Huilan, you'll stay at the Mu residence from now on. Keep this old woman company. If there's anything you need, just let me know."

These words were clearly meant for Li's ears.

Of course, Madam Li understood. She quickly smiled and said, "Yes, since my cousin is here, she should stay here for a while."

These words displeased the old lady. To put it bluntly, there was no difference between "staying here peacefully" and "staying here peacefully for a while," but in reality, the difference was enormous! The sensitive women could hear this, but Mu Chang'an and the old master could not.

Mu Chang'an quickly replied, "This is your cousin's wife. I've met her before. If you need anything in the future, just go directly to your cousin's wife."

"Yes, Mother, you two chat first. I'll go check on the preparations for the guest quarters."

Mu Chang'an was extremely satisfied with Li's performance. Being born into a prominent family made all the difference. He smiled and said, "Go ahead. Consider tonight's banquet a welcome back dinner for my cousin."

"Yes, sir."

“Daughter-in-law, there’s no need to go to too much trouble. Just arrange for her to stay in the house next to mine.”

Li was taken aback, feeling something was amiss. "Mother, isn't that courtyard a bit too small?"

"Hey, she's just a girl, she doesn't have much stuff, what's wrong with being younger? The key is that she's closer to me, so we can talk more together."

Madam Li felt that the old lady's arrangement was not so simple, but she couldn't figure out what she was trying to do. Just then, she heard Mu Chang'an say, "Since Mother is willing to get closer to her cousin, let her be."

Mu Xin Nuan, however, keenly sensed the old lady's intentions. This wasn't about getting this cousin to spend more time with her; it was clearly about creating an opportunity for her father and this cousin!

You know, her father would go to pay his respects to her every day, and over time, he would inevitably have the opportunity to run into his aunt!
