Little did the old lady know that all of this was part of Mu Xin Nuan's plan! She had chosen this exact moment to come and pay her respects to the old lady! In his previous life, Song Tao married a woman from a prestigious family, and it was only with the help of that second wife that Song Tao's career began to soar!

This time, however, Mu Xin Nuan caused trouble, and it seems that Song Tao marrying Xu Hui Lan is a done deal!

"Ah Nuan is indeed Grandmother's lucky star. As soon as you arrive, everything is resolved!" The old lady smiled and had someone bring over some pastries. "Come, have a taste! These are pastries that were just bought from Xu Jin Ji outside. You certainly know how to pick your time; you're lucky to have such a treat."

"Thank you, Grandmother."

Mu Xin Nuan spoke with the old lady for a while longer before going to Li Shi's Jin Courtyard.

That afternoon, the old lady sent someone to fetch Xu Huilan. It's said the two talked for almost half an hour, and Xu Huilan eventually came out of the room crying. What they discussed is probably unknown.

Mu Xin Nuan was teasing a little white rabbit while listening to the chatter of the two brothers, Mu Qing Xuan and Mu Qing Yuan.

"Elder sister, isn't this little white rabbit eating too much? Look, it's not eating anymore," Mu Qingyuan said, frowning.

"It's not that it ate too much, it's that it got tired of the green vegetable leaves in your hand." Mu Xin Nuan said, then took a small carrot strip from Rong Yue's hand and stuffed it into the mesh of the small cage.

As soon as the little white rabbit saw the carrot, it jumped over, grabbed it with its two little front paws, and began to eat it with relish.

Mu Qingyuan's eyes widened immediately. "Elder sister, it actually likes to eat this? What's so good about it? The taste is a bit strange, I don't like it at all."

Mu Qingxuan nodded in agreement, saying, "That's right, what's so good about carrots! The flavor is too strong, they're not tasty."

The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.

Mu Xin Nuan glanced at her two younger brothers. They both shared a common flaw: picky eaters. They disliked vegetables and only loved meat. Although eating meat could make them stronger, Mu Xin Nuan knew from the medical books she had read recently that a balanced diet of meat and vegetables was essential.

Both younger brothers are currently in their growth spurt, especially Ah Xuan, who has an hour of martial arts training every day. This is extremely physically demanding.

Mu Xin Nuan didn't speak, but she was thinking about how to get the two brothers to eat more vegetables so they could grow up better. Especially when Mu Xin Nuan saw Mu Qing Yuan clinging to Mu Qing Xuan, her smile became even brighter.

Keep clinging to me! Remember, the only people in this world who are truly good to you are a few of us! As for your own aunt, she's just always trying to use you to climb the social ladder! And the old lady only cares about you because you're her grandson and have some use to her!

Ah Yuan, this is good enough. As long as you stay obedient, like the little white rabbit in this cage, and don't always think about escaping, and don't covet things that don't belong to you, you'll live a good life!

At least, you won't end up like your aunt, becoming my drug test subject! How could I bear to part with such a cute and obedient little brother like you?

Mu Xin Nuan's smile widened. There was also Mu Xin Yao! If only she could be as obedient and sensible as A Yuan, she would save herself a lot of trouble. At least, her reputation as the eldest daughter would be better. But, tsk tsk, what a pity!

Mu Xinyao, it seems that in this life, nothing can change between us! Since that's the case, then let's see how you can fight me in this life, without your aunt as your support and your brother as your backer.

Several days passed in the blink of an eye, and the marriage between Xu Huilan and Song Tao was settled. The old lady ordered someone to call Xu Huilan's brother and sister-in-law over, and in front of them, the marriage was finalized.

Although Xu Huilan's sister-in-law was somewhat unwilling, she had no choice but to give up when she thought that the Mu family was not a powerful family that they could afford to offend!

Xu Huilan returned to the Xu family mansion with her brother and sister-in-law; she couldn't very well get married at the Mu family mansion, could she?

However, the old lady genuinely cared for her, not only rewarding her with some things but also assigning her several capable people. This was because she was worried that the eldest sister-in-law of the Xu family might become greedy for Xu Huilan's dowry again, which would be troublesome!

After dealing with Xu Huilan's matter, the old lady felt much more at ease, her spirits lifted, and her mood improved.

That day, Mu Xinnuan went to Rongyuan to pay her respects to the old lady. As soon as she entered, she saw Mu Xinyao, whom she hadn't seen for a long time. She was sitting next to the old lady, gently massaging her legs.

"Greetings to grandma."

"Ah Nuan is here, so please excuse the meal."

Mu Xinyao stopped what she was doing and bowed gracefully to Mu Xinnuan, saying, "Greetings to elder sister."

"Sister, no need for such formalities. We're all family, why be so polite?"

“As the eldest daughter of the family, she is kind and forgiving to her younger siblings and doesn’t hold these things against them. However, I cannot neglect these manners just because of this. The Mu family has always been a scholarly family, and we cannot allow the rules to be broken when it comes to me.”

Upon hearing this, Mu Xin Nuan realized that the month-long confinement had indeed been quite effective; her words and actions were much more disciplined than before! It seemed that she was indeed not someone to be trifled with.

“What my sister says is true. The Mu family has always been a family of scholars, and my grandfather and father are people who value rules and etiquette very much. We, as the younger generation, should indeed learn from them and never do anything improper that would bring shame to the family.”

"Anuan is right! I've heard that you've been going to the kitchen every day these days. What are you busy with?"

Mu Xin Nuan smiled and said, "Actually, I haven't been busy with anything. I've just noticed that my two younger brothers, A Xuan and A Yuan, haven't had much of an appetite lately. Grandmother knows that they've always been picky eaters. I'm trying to think of some ways to get them to eat properly and not be picky, otherwise, won't they grow slower?"

The old lady was taken aback at first, then nodded with great satisfaction, "You've really put your heart into this."

After saying that, he glanced at Mu Xinyao and said, "I heard that Yang Yu'er from the Duke of Anguo's mansion will be celebrating her thirteenth birthday in a few days?"

"Yes, Grandmother. I just received the invitation a couple of days ago."

"Well, the Duke of Anguo's mansion is currently enjoying the Emperor's favor. It wouldn't hurt for you to associate with their young lady more. Have you chosen your gifts yet?"

"Not yet, Grandmother." Mu Xin Nuan sneered inwardly. She had naturally guessed the old lady's purpose in asking this question—trying to trick her into revealing information? How could that be? However, it seemed she couldn't shake off Mu Xin Yao, this persistent pest!

Sure enough, the old lady smiled and said, "When the time comes, you must remember to take good care of Xinyao. She is still young, so you must not let anyone bully her."
