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

Although Mu Xin Nuan learned from her mother that her father had no intention of taking a concubine and had personally explained this to the old lady, she didn't believe that the old lady would give up so easily! At least not now!

After much deliberation, Mu Xin Nuan still felt that as long as Song Shi was alive, she would remain a problem. If one day the concubine in the Crown Prince's residence gave birth to another son and her status was elevated, then the situation in the Mu family might no longer be something they could control!

But to kill her now? That would be too easy on her! Considering all the evil she did in her past life, how could her death possibly be satisfying?

Mu Xin Nuan thought for a moment, then took out the medical book that Zhao Zi He had left her. After about an hour, she wrote down four prescriptions, one large and one small, and instructed Mu Qing and Mu Hua to go to four different pharmacies to get the medicine.

Once the herbs were brought back, Mu Xin Nuan instructed Rong Yue to guard outside, while she herself took the herbs to the east wing, where she tended a small stove and began to work on them.

She didn't come out of the house until an hour later, by which time she had used up almost all the herbs.

Looking at the few dark pills in her hand, Mu Xin Nuan asked with some doubt, "I wonder if I made them correctly? Will they even work?"

After saying that, she blinked, then reached out and beckoned Mu Qing over. After whispering a few instructions, Mu Qing took the pills from her hand and left.

Having done all this, Mu Xin Nuan noticed the strong medicinal smell on her body and realized that her younger brother would be back soon. So she quickly had hot water prepared, took a bath, and changed her clothes. Just then, it was almost time for lunch.

"Sister, look! The teacher gave me an A grade for my homework today! Look!" Mu Qingxuan was an impatient person. As soon as she entered Yuexuan, she hurriedly took out her test paper to show Mu Xinnuan.

Not to be outdone, Mu Qingyuan behind her glanced at her test paper with a hint of embarrassment. "Elder sister, although I'm not as good as my brother, the teacher still gave me a grade of B above."

"Oh? Let me see."

This wasn't the first time Mu Qingxuan had received an A grade. In Mu Xinnuan's memory, ever since her younger brother started school, he had consistently received either an A or an Excellent grade. What surprised her, however, was that Mu Qingyuan had managed to get a B grade in such a short time!

Therefore, compared to Mu Qingxuan's top grade, Mu Qingyuan's results piqued Mu Xinnuan's curiosity even more.

I looked at both of their exam papers. Since they entered the school at different times, the content of their exams was naturally different! Mu Qingyuan's questions were relatively simple.

After Mu Xin Nuan read through them one by one, the smile on her lips couldn't help but grow wider and wider. She looked up at her two younger brothers and saw that they both had expectant looks on their faces, clearly hoping for her praise or a word of affirmation!

Mu Xin Nuan did not disappoint them. After praising them one by one, she added, "Last time, we prepared such a special gift for our maternal grandmother. Do you know that our maternal grandfather and paternal grandfather were a little jealous?"

Mu Qingxuan's eyes lit up. "Sister, shall we make chairs or couches together again?"

Mu Xin Nuan shook her head, "No! You are all still young, and your filial piety is enough. Your studies are all about the same right now. A Yuan's is a little easier. How about this, when the three of us have nothing to do, we can practice our calligraphy more, so that we can write beautiful characters during the New Year and make our grandfather and father proud."

"Yes, eldest sister."

The two younger brothers were overjoyed. After chatting with Mu Xin Nuan for a while, they pulled her along to have lunch.

From afar, the old man saw his two grandsons, one on each side, each holding one of his eldest granddaughter's hands, the three of them chatting and laughing as they walked towards the flower hall. The old man was overjoyed to see them!

Having lived to such an old age, toiling and struggling all his life, what was it all for? Wasn't it simply to have many descendants and a harmonious family? Now, his eldest son has two sons and two daughters. While not exactly a thriving family, his lineage is certainly respectable. And now, seeing his eldest granddaughter, with the demeanor of a young lady from a prominent family, always acting like an elder sister, the old man naturally feels immensely comforted.

Mu Chang'an revealed his feelings to the old lady, but out of consideration for Xu Huilan, the old lady didn't say it directly. She only said that Li Shi was deliberately obstructing things, and that as the legal wife, she disagreed, so it was futile for anyone else to say anything.

Of course, the old lady said this for two reasons: first, to save Xu Huilan's face; second, to make Xu Huilan hate Li Shi from the bottom of her heart; and third, to see just how capable this niece really was!

The old lady has a very sharp eye. Ever since Xu Huilan accepted her jewelry that day, her attitude has been completely different from before.

The old lady was incredibly astute; she naturally saw through it all—Xu Huilan had also set her sights on her son! Since that was the case, why not let her go and fight with Li Shi first? If she could defeat Li Shi and enter the Mu family, it would be beneficial and harmless for her!

Conversely, even if she loses, given her status as an orphan, would anyone be so heartless as to drive her away? Besides, with this old woman around, there's no way she'd give anyone that chance!

When Xu Huilan saw how close the three children were, and saw that Li Shi, who was sitting to the side, also had a face full of relief, she felt an indescribable bitterness in her heart!

She originally did not want to marry as a concubine, but after seeing the wealth of the Mu family, she finally became interested. However, Li Shi blocked her way. How could she swallow this insult?

Because Mu Chang'an had duties at the yamen, he generally didn't come back for lunch. So, the old master instructed everyone to eat at one table, which made it quite lively!

Xu Huilan sat to the left of Li Shi and to the right of Mu Xinnuan. Looking at the two somewhat similar faces on either side, she felt even more uncomfortable.

"Daughter-in-law, I think Huilan has too few winter clothes here. Please have someone prepare a few more sets of winter clothes for her!" the old lady said with a smile.

Madam Li was taken aback. Winter clothes? Was she planning to stay for an extended period? Not even for the New Year? But she quickly realized, "Yes, Mother. Winter clothes for all the courtyards in this mansion were prepared early this morning. I'll have someone take Huilan's measurements later."

"Mother, didn't you take measurements when you made these autumn clothes?" Mu Xin Nuan seemed puzzled.

Mu Qingyuan laughed and said, "Eldest sister is usually so smart, how come she's confused today? When Aunt first came to the manor, she was much thinner than she is now! Mother is right, we need to measure her again."

One sentence made Xu Huilan's face stiffen. The inferiority complex in her heart began to expand infinitely, and finally turned into a resentment that was suppressed in her heart.
