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

Just as I was wondering what to do, I heard a clear, crisp sound.

"What are Father and Aunt talking about?"

When Mu Chang'an saw Mu Xin Nuan arrive, he immediately felt much more relaxed. "A-Nuan is here! Have you come to pay your respects to your grandmother?"

"Yes, Father." Mu Xin Nuan was wearing a light blue dress today, which made her skin look even whiter.

“Perfect timing. These are some things your aunt made by hand to express her gratitude. Take them first, and then take them to your mother later.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Huilan's expression darkened, but it was only for a moment before she put on a smiling face again. "In that case, I'll have to trouble you, Ah Nuan."

"No! I'll be paying my respects to my mother soon anyway. So I'll thank my cousin on my mother's behalf."

Xu Huilan smiled somewhat reluctantly, "Not at all. I've been bothering you all the whole time. If anyone should be thanking you, it should be me thanking you all."

Seeing that his daughter had come to his rescue, Mu Chang'an didn't dare to stay a moment longer and immediately headed towards the outer courtyard, afraid that if he was too late, Xu Huilan would call him back!

Seeing her father's hurried steps, Mu Xin Nuan felt happy inside. She glanced at Xu Hui Lan, who looked a little disappointed, and said with a smile, "Why is Father walking so fast? It's like there's a dog chasing him."

These words, when heard by Xu Huilan, were clearly an insult, calling her a persistent nuisance!

Her pretty face instantly turned bright red with anger, and her breathing became rapid. But when she met Mu Xin Nuan's innocent and naive eyes, she couldn't muster any anger at all! She was just a child, what could she understand? Was she just overthinking things?

Mu Xin Nuan affectionately linked arms with Xu Hui Lan, "Is Aunt also going to pay her respects to Grandmother? That's perfect, let's go together."

Xu Huilan tugged at the corners of her mouth, a smile that was even more unsightly than a grimace, and the two of them entered Rongyuan together.

How could Xu Huilan give up after just one setback?

Upon hearing what happened at the Rongyuan gate, the old lady immediately whispered a few words to the nanny beside her, then smiled sinisterly and said in a low voice, "Li Shi, the more you forbid Chang'an from taking a concubine, the more I will make him take Huilan. I want to see what other tricks you have up your sleeve?"

When Xu Huilan heard that Mu Chang'an had returned to the mansion and was practicing calligraphy in his study, she immediately perked up.

"Miss, the chicken soup you asked me to make is almost ready. When should we send it over?" the maid asked as she entered.

"Get ready, we'll send it over now. Oh, and have someone go ahead and inquire around. This time, make sure we don't run into anyone again."

"Yes, ma'am."

This time, however, she was disappointed again. She had barely entered the study and hadn't even had a chance to speak when the brothers, Mu Qingxuan and Mu Qingyuan, returned. Mu Chang'an was about to test their studies, so there was no reason for her to stay and speak.

When Xu Huilan left the study, her expression was so gloomy it was almost dripping with water!

"Miss, this can't go on forever."

"Otherwise what? These two brothers came to see their father, could I possibly turn them away? Besides, I'm just a guest, no matter what, I can't do anything to the proper masters of this mansion."

“Miss, you’re just too kind-hearted. I heard that Master didn’t like that Song woman either, and it was the Old Madam who brought them together!”

Xu Huilan's mind raced. "What happened? Tell me in detail, I'll listen."

"Yes, Miss. I heard that Madam Song has always been fond of Master Mu, but Master Mu only met her by chance and fell in love with the eldest daughter of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, who is now Madam Mu. He is studying hard so that he can pass the imperial examination and be qualified to marry her."

A hint of annoyance flashed across Xu Huilan's face. "Let's skip this and just talk about the Song family."

"Yes, Miss. That Madam Song has always been fond of Master Mu, but seeing him marry Madam and they are a loving couple, she was naturally unhappy. Later, one time, when Madam went back to her parents' home, she got Master Mu drunk, and then, they got married."

As the little girl spoke, her voice grew softer and softer until her head was almost drooping to her chest, and her little face turned bright red.

Upon hearing this, Xu Huilan understood immediately. What drunkenness? It was clearly that Song had drugged her cousin! This Song had actually used such despicable means to marry into the Mu family; she truly had no shame!

"Who told you this? How can you say such things so casually? If this gets out, aren't you afraid of tarnishing my reputation?" Xu Huilan said angrily.

Upon hearing this, the young maid immediately knelt down. "Please forgive me, Miss. I didn't mean anything by it. I just noticed you were troubled lately, so I said those things. And it's all true. I heard it from someone close to the Old Madam. They said that after the deed was done, that Song woman threatened to die, but the Madam wouldn't allow it. If it weren't for the Old Madam's sake, that Song woman would have been doomed."

Xu Huilan blinked, twisting the handkerchief in her hand between two fingers. That was indeed a solution. However, she was ultimately an orphan, unlike the Song family, who had the Song family backing them, even if their official rank was low. She, frankly, had been driven out by her brother and sister-in-law. If something truly happened, would no one speak up for her?

After much deliberation, Xu Huilan headed towards Rongyuan Hospital.

Two days later, the old lady was helped to the outer study by someone, saying that she had something to discuss with Mu Chang'an. The person who helped her there was Xu Huilan.

About fifteen minutes later, the old lady came out, but this time the person supporting her was the old nanny who had always been with her, while Xu Huilan stayed in the study and did not come out for a long time.

About an hour later, Li was in the room helping Mu Qingyuan practice calligraphy when she heard hurried footsteps. Li frowned, but before she could ask, someone lifted the curtain and rushed in.

"Madam, something terrible has happened! You must go to the study immediately! A serious incident has occurred!" a stewardess exclaimed urgently.

Li was puzzled, but her expression remained calm and composed. "What kind of behavior is this, all flustered and panicked? You don't look like someone in charge at all. I think you're tired of this job and want a change?"

"This servant wouldn't dare!" The old woman quickly bowed and said respectfully, "Madam, something terrible has happened in Master's study. You'd better go and see quickly. If you wait any longer, it might really become a huge joke!"
