Destroy the scumbag husband, beat the bitch, the reborn legitimate daughter overturns the entire cap
Chapter 7 Ah Nuan Advises Her Brother!
Unexpectedly, Mu Qingyuan seemed to be under some kind of spell today, nodding repeatedly, "Eldest sister is right! Grandmother, A-Yuan should also learn from brother and move to the front yard to live alone. A-Yuan won't learn anything if he always stays in the back courtyard."
Mu Qingyuan's words were undoubtedly a public slap in the face to Aunt Song! She had just said that she was moving to the outer courtyard and would be left without anyone to take care of her, and then her son slapped her in the face like this!
The old lady's eyes darted back and forth between Aunt Song and Mu Qingyuan's faces, then she deliberately glanced at Li Shi and Mu Xinnuan's faces, and for a moment, she was at a loss!
Mu Xin Nuan knew that at this moment, the old lady was only dissatisfied with her mother, but she hadn't yet considered supporting a grandson born out of wedlock. After all, her younger brother was the grandson of the Song family! With the support of the Song family in the future, the Mu family would surely have a bright future!
“Grandmother, how about this, let’s ask Father for his opinion again later. Also, moving out is not something that can be done in a day or two. Father should ask him to find a tutor for A-Yuan and arrange a house and a personal servant for him.”
Upon hearing this, the old lady nodded. "Anuan is indeed very thoughtful. Indeed, this matter cannot be rushed. I will speak with your father about it later. Your sister is right; as descendants of the Mu family, we must never be impolite."
"Yes, grandson has remembered!" This time, Mu Qingyuan bowed respectfully again, which made the old lady very happy!
Mu Xin Nuan chuckled inwardly, knowing that persuading her father wouldn't be difficult. At this moment, her father and mother were still very loving, and her father would naturally agree with whatever her mother said.
After leaving Rongyuan, Madam Li took Mu Xinnuan back to her Jinyuan. After dismissing all the servants, she said with a solemn expression, "Anuan, do you know what consequences your words will have today?"
"Mother, rest assured, Anuan knows what she is doing. Although Ayuan is a son born out of wedlock, he still has to respect you as his mother. If you can say a few good words for Ayuan in front of Father and get him to move out of the inner quarters, that would be the best thing ever! Seeing that you are not just indulging this son born out of wedlock, Father will also think you are virtuous, and his guilt towards you will be even greater."
Mrs. Li was shocked. Why would her daughter say such things? After all, no matter how sensible her daughter was, she was only ten years old!
Seeing her mother's confusion, Mu Xin Nuan gave a bitter smile. If her mother knew that her current maturity was achieved at the cost of her own blood relatives' lives, she wondered if she would be so angry that she would push her away.
"Mother, I have learned a lot from this injury. In the past, Grandmother always taught me to prioritize the interests of the family in everything I do, to be mindful of the bigger picture and the overall situation. Mother, isn't this exactly what I'm doing now? If A-Yuan can move out and receive Father's guidance, from an outsider's perspective, it will look like you, the mistress of the house, are magnanimous and have no intention of neglecting this illegitimate son! Besides, don't you know what kind of person that Aunt Song is?"
Upon hearing this, Madam Li understood. Her mind raced with thoughts. Her daughter seemed to be planning for that illegitimate son, but in reality, she was scheming for herself at every turn! She could gain the reputation of a virtuous wife and also take Mu Qingyuan away from the old lady and Madam Song. It was a win-win situation.
“Mother, Grandmother usually dotes on A-Yuan, but she dislikes A-Xuan somewhat. Isn’t it because A-Xuan is busy with his studies and doesn’t spend much time in the backyard? As time goes on, I’m afraid Grandmother will eventually be swayed by that Aunt Song’s ideas.”
Startled, Li asked in a low voice, "Anuan, tell your mother the truth, have you heard any gossip?"
Mu Xin Nuan bit her lip lightly, hesitated for a moment, then took two steps forward and whispered, "Mother, just before I went to climb the tree, I overheard Aunt Song mentioning the Song family, intentionally or unintentionally. Moreover, she kept talking about the Song family bloodline. She also said that she was only devoted to the Li family!"
Though his words were few, every single one was chilling!
Madam Li's expression tightened, and she pursed her lips. The Song family bloodline? Could it be that Concubine Song was actually trying to persuade the old lady to show more consideration for her own family? As for being single-mindedly devoted to the Li family, that naturally referred to herself as the legal wife?
Wait a minute! No, that's not right! If I remember correctly, the person teaching Ah Xuan kung fu right now should be the best-skilled cousin in the clan, sent by his maternal brother?
The old lady and Aunt Song were clearly wary of something, worried that once Ah Xuan achieved success, he would only be loyal to the Li family and wouldn't offer any help to the Song family. So, was Aunt Song subtly trying to sow discord with the old lady?
In just a short moment, Li Shi had already gone through countless twists and turns! Although she disliked arguing with people over trivial matters, it didn't mean she couldn't see through the underhanded tricks of some people; she simply disdained to argue with them!
Now, it's unbelievable that the seemingly honest Aunt Song has such wicked intentions. She's actually thinking of using the Old Madam's influence to alienate Ah Xuan, so she can focus her support on Mu Qingyuan!
"Did you do this on purpose to keep Mu Qing away from Aunt Song and the old lady?"
"Mother, A-Yuan is still young and not a malicious person. Once he goes to the outer courtyard, Father will find a tutor to enlighten him and teach him some classics. He will naturally not be led astray by Aunt Song. Besides, someone has to teach him proper manners."
Mu Xin Nuan's words were veiled, but Madam Li understood them nonetheless. She meant that he should be taught the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children, and that he must respect his stepmother; otherwise, he would be utterly unacceptable to the world!
Mu Xin Nuan is trying to distance herself from Mu Qing Yuan not only physically, but also emotionally! This move is more effective than others, and it is also the most beneficial to herself and the entire Mu family!
Most importantly, as soon as this method was proposed, it immediately made the old lady look at Mu Xin Nuan, the eldest daughter of the main wife, with new respect!
Madam Li's prediction was spot on; the old lady was extremely satisfied with Mu Xin Nuan's performance today. So much so that upon hearing Aunt Song's dissatisfaction with Mu Xin Nuan, she surprisingly frowned!
“Aunt, A-Yuan is only six years old. How can he be moved to the outer courtyard like this? If he were the legitimate son, it would be fine, and people outside would naturally not dare to look down on him! But he is just a son of a concubine, and you know that the master has never valued him. What if...? I don’t know what Miss is thinking!”
"Shut up! How dare you speak ill of the eldest daughter of the Mu family?" A voice, weathered yet tinged with melancholy, rang out.
