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

Mu Xin Nuan saw Xu Hui Lan's reaction and lowered her eyelids slightly, her long eyelashes concealing her thoughts.

It seems that Xu Huilan is no pushover either; she might blame her mother for her father's refusal to take a concubine.

Mu Qingyuan's words were clearly correct. For her to be so sensitive and attentive to such words, she must be an extremely thoughtful person!

Mu Xin Nuan slightly curved her lips. It seemed that Xu Huilan was indeed different from her previous life. Could it be that environment truly changes a person's temperament? She wondered just how much resilience Xu Huilan could withstand in this life!

The old lady didn't find anything wrong with what Mu Qingyuan said, after all, he was telling the truth.

When Xu Huilan first arrived, she was indeed too thin, looking like a piece of paper! A gust of wind could blow her away! Now that she has been in the manor for a while, it is perfectly normal for her to have gained a little weight! At least, her complexion is much better than when she first entered the manor.

"Huilan has finally gained some weight. If she hadn't, I would have had to start thinking about whether I should make her drink nourishing soup every day."

Hearing the old lady's amusing remark, Xu Huilan came to her senses. "Auntie is teasing me again! I have to thank my cousin-in-law for taking such good care of me. If it weren't for her help, how could I live so comfortably in this mansion?"

Mu Xin Nuan smiled inwardly, hoping that you truly meant it! She feared you were an ingrate who would repay kindness with enmity!

The lunch was quite pleasant.

When Mu Chang'an returned home in the afternoon, he first checked his two sons' homework. He naturally praised Mu Qingxuan for getting the top grade again. Of course, at the end, he couldn't help but give him some earnest advice to prevent him from becoming arrogant again!

As for Mu Qingyuan, Mu Chang'an thought it was pretty good. He had only been in school for a short time, and it was already quite impressive that he could get a second-class grade!

Mu Chang'an was delighted and rewarded each person with a set of the Four Treasures of the Study, which were almost identical!

Seeing his two sons happily leave the study after receiving their rewards, Mu Chang'an felt quite at ease.

He watched his two children walk by, whispering to each other, and occasionally he could hear his younger son's soft laughter. Since when had his attitude towards this illegitimate son become so different from before?

Mu Chang'an disliked Madam Song, and comparatively speaking, he didn't particularly like the son and daughter she had given birth to either! However, Mu Xinyao was beautiful and had always been well-behaved, so he treated her better than he treated Mu Qingyuan.

But I don't know when it started, his attitude towards the two children was completely reversed!

As for Mu Qingyuan, the change from indifference at first to occasional expectation now is somewhat strange! In fact, when this illegitimate son was born, he was happy, but because of his wife, he was worried that if he was too good to him, it would displease his wife or even cause misunderstandings, so he did not have much contact with this son.

As time went by, her feelings for this son faded somewhat.

It seemed that ever since his wife suggested that he hire a tutor for his illegitimate son, he had noticed a change in her; she was more considerate and tolerant. This naturally pleased Mu Chang'an greatly. No one wants their wife to be anything less than gentle and virtuous, but how many in the capital could truly achieve that?

There are plenty of women who harm their illegitimate children and force their concubines to their deaths! And which one of them didn't come from a prestigious family? Whenever he heard his colleagues' complaints and grievances in the government office, he felt incredibly fortunate to have such a virtuous wife by his side.

Originally, Madam disliked Song's two children, but she would never deliberately make things difficult for them. But now?

A smile lingered on Mu Chang'an's lips for a long time!

As night fell, Mu Xinnuan lay blankly on the bed, clearly waiting for news from Mu Qing.

"It's so late, why isn't he back yet? Could it be that he made a mistake? Or perhaps the medicine wasn't strong enough?"

Mu Xin Nuan was getting increasingly impatient when she finally heard the door open.

"Miss, I'm back."

Mu Xin Nuan's heart immediately stirred with excitement. "Come in!"

As soon as Mu Qing entered, Mu Xin Nuan sat up immediately, her eyes bright and alert, showing no signs of being about to fall asleep.

"how's it going?"

"Miss, the effects of the medicine were not very obvious at first. It only started to take effect after an hour. At first, Madam Song was not in much pain. About fifteen minutes later, she clutched her stomach in pain, and soon she started rolling around in agony."

"Oh? So, you mean there wasn't enough of one of the ingredients?"

“Miss, when I returned, Madam Song had already fainted from the pain. I checked, and she was still breathing.”

Mu Xin Nuan nodded, "That's good. As long as the person isn't dead, it will be more convenient for me to test the poison. Otherwise, I would have to find some heinous people outside to test the medicine, and then I would have to find a way to settle them, which would be too troublesome! It's most appropriate to use the Song family as test subjects, as they won't be discovered and there's no risk involved."

"What you say is true, Miss. Should I go and check on the effects of this medicine further?"

"No need! I didn't use many herbs. I bought very few to begin with, and I only used half of them. It's already quite good that I've achieved this effect. You don't need to go see her anymore. I estimate that by the time Madam Song wakes up, the medicinal effects will have mostly dissipated."

"Yes, Miss. I even locked her door from the inside. Madam Song was in so much pain that she couldn't get up and had no way to go out and call for help. It was quite satisfying to see her like that."

Mu Xin Nuan knew that Mu Qing and the others must have heard a lot about Song Shi poisoning her from their maternal grandmother, which was why they hated Song Shi so much!

"Okay, that's fine! You've worked hard, go to sleep."

"It is my honor to serve you, Miss."

After sending Mu Qing to bed, Mu Xin Nuan couldn't fall asleep, so she simply threw off the covers and got up, then started writing and drawing on the table. In no time, the floor was covered with discarded scraps of paper.

After an unknown amount of time, Mu Xin Nuan was not only no longer sleepy, but was becoming more and more energetic! Her eyes were becoming brighter and brighter, and her facial expressions were becoming more and more varied, sometimes looking worried, sometimes laughing! She would also occasionally flip through the book again!

When Mu Xin Nuan put down her pen, she suddenly realized that her arms were a little sore and her shoulders were a little wrinkled!

With a furrowed brow and a slight movement of her arm, a voice unexpectedly entered her ears.
