Chapter 5 The Heart of Guarding Against Others
"Shh! Granny Yu, please keep your voice down!" Mu Xin Nuan gestured for her to be quiet. Then she said mysteriously, "Didn't you hear Aunt Song say she was going to prepare some calming soup for me?"
That one sentence immediately put Granny Yu on high alert. She quickly glanced outside before asking, "Miss, are you worried?"
"You shouldn't have the heart to harm others, but you can't be without the heart to guard against others! Granny Yu, you were sent to my side by my mother a long time ago, and you are also my wet nurse, so I naturally trust you! I'm afraid that my Yuexuan has long had spies planted by Aunt Song."
Granny Yu, being the kind of person she was, naturally understood the implication in her young mistress's words and quickly and cautiously asked, "Young mistress, then what do you mean?"
"No rush! I had Rongyue take the dregs from each of these medicines to the doctor outside for examination. Aunt Song is a cautious person, so it's impossible for her to add medicine every time. But I can't just wait around. Who knows when she'll add medicine and when she won't?"
“But Miss, it’s not good if you keep refusing to take your medicine because of this!” Granny Yu said anxiously.
To everyone's surprise, Mu Xin Nuan smiled slyly, "Don't worry, Granny. Rong Yue's trip is not only to have someone examine the dregs of the medicine, but also to find some medicine for me. One for external application and one for internal use, it's quite convenient."
"Miss is so clever!" Granny Yu smiled upon hearing this.
With everything arranged, Mu Xin Nuan began to think about how she would live in this life, how to prevent her younger brother from suffering a terrible fate, how to keep her mother and father from becoming estranged, how to ensure her father could live out his old age in peace, and how to help her maternal grandparents' family avoid disaster.
Ten years old, not too old, not too young, should be old enough to understand things! I don't know why I was so confused in my past life, being so close to the old lady but estranged from my mother.
She sighed softly. In this life, no matter what, she could not let that Aunt Song succeed again, nor could she let her grandmother take away her mother's control of the household affairs! You must know that although the Mu family is considered a prominent family, it is still far inferior to her maternal grandparents' family!
My mother's marriage to someone of lower social standing was something my grandmother and Aunt Song could exploit. My father disliked my mother because of her noble birth, and she always felt inferior to him. Therefore, Aunt Song could also be used against her!
Thinking of this, Mu Xin Nuan's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. A good background doesn't just represent power and status! For a woman, what's more important is her demeanor, her elegance, and her noble bearing! In this respect, that Aunt Song will always be far behind!
With a plan in mind, Mu Xin Nuan no longer intended to deliberately curry favor with the old lady. She had a mother of noble birth and was the only legitimate daughter of the Mu family. In addition, she was favored by her maternal grandfather and uncles. No matter what, she should not humble herself to please that insidious old lady!
Of course, she knew that she still had to do the things that were on the surface, such as paying her respects to the old lady in the morning and evening. She would never forget that. However, she would never flatter the old lady in front of her again in this lifetime!
The next day, after Mu Xinnuan woke up, she ate breakfast and took the pills. As usual, she asked Granny Yu to pour out the medicine. Then she went to Jinyuan to pay her respects to her mother. After that, her mother took her to the old lady's Rongyuan.
As soon as I entered the courtyard, I heard bursts of laughter. It wasn't hard to tell that it was the voices of Aunt Song and Mu Xinyao. At this time, my father was still at court, and my younger brother had gone to the clan school. As for Mu Qingyuan, my younger half-brother, he was probably snuggling in the old lady's arms right now!
Mu Qingyuan is six years old this year, and he should be going to the outer courtyard to have his own courtyard next year. In fact, if it were stricter, it would be time to do so now. His father is extremely strict with Mu Qingxuan's education. When he was five years old, he took him to the outer courtyard to teach him personally, which shows how much he values this legitimate son.
As for Mu Qingyuan, it's clear that his father doesn't have high expectations for him. However, he is, after all, his own son, and it's impossible for him to be completely indifferent!
However, his father has never mentioned starting his formal education, which shows that his father still dislikes him to some extent. It's a pity that he didn't see this in his past life; he actually thought his father always doted on him and didn't let him learn martial arts because he felt sorry for him. Now it seems that's not the case at all!
Having weathered a lifetime of storms, Mu Xin Nuan finally understands that her father truly loves her younger brother, Mu Qing Xuan! It's a pity she didn't understand when she was young, always thinking her father favored Mu Qing Yuan, which gradually led to her growing distant from him. Looking back now, she realizes how foolish she was!
Mu Xin Nuan took a deep breath, thinking of her dear younger sister, and smiled slightly, "Mother, let's go in too."
Madam Li frowned slightly. Her daughter had just been injured, while they were having a great time! The old lady usually seemed to dote on her daughter, and Anuan had always respected her, but now it seemed rather disheartening.
"Greetings to mother."
"Greetings to grandma."
Upon seeing Li enter, Song Shi and Mu Xinyao hurriedly stood up. After they finished their greetings, Song Shi and Mu Xinyao also greeted Li Shi and Mu Xinnuan.
Anuan glanced at Mu Qingyuan, who was leaning against the old lady's lap on the couch, and her eyes darkened slightly. "Why isn't Second Brother getting up yet? Have you forgotten the rules?"
As soon as Mu Xin Nuan finished speaking, not only did the old lady's expression change, but Li Shi's expression also changed slightly. The old lady doted on this grandson of a concubine far more than her own son. Moreover, Mu Qing Yuan rarely bowed to her when the old lady was around. Today, what A Nuan said made Li Shi a little worried.
“Anuan, your second brother is still young. He needs to learn some manners. It’s not too late for him to learn when he’s older.”
Hearing the old lady's noticeably stiff tone, Mu Xin Nuan smiled gently, her eyes fixed on Mu Qing Yuan before her. "Grandmother, I must overstep my bounds today. My second brother is a descendant of the Mu family, and he is destined for greatness. Qing Yuan, don't you agree?"
The sound of "Ah Yuan" filled Mu Qingyuan with a strange feeling! He was still young, only six years old this year, so he naturally didn't understand some of the power struggles in the inner quarters. He only knew that his grandmother loved him, so he liked to cling to her. This older sister had always treated him neither warmly nor coldly. Today, she was clearly scolding him, but why did it sound so comforting?
Looking up at his older sister's eyes, he was struck by their beauty. They shone brighter than the sapphire on his grandmother's headband, and he could even see his own reflection clearly in them!
Immediately afterward, Mu Qingyuan's words made Aunt Song's face turn pale!
