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

The old lady's anger startled Liu Haiye, who wondered what was going on. Wasn't she perfectly fine just now?

"How dare you mention those two children to me? I've been holding back because you're an official and my son-in-law. Someone, bring that thing over to him and let him see for himself."

"Yes, old lady."

Upon receiving the order, the maidservant immediately lifted the curtain and went out. She wandered around somewhere and returned with a tray in her hands.

"Take a good look at yourself! This is what my poor granddaughter and grandson wore when they came to the Mu residence! What is this? Even the beggars in the capital are probably warmer than this! Liu Haiye, are you trying to force this old woman to her death?"

When Liu Haiye saw the clothes on the tray, he was immediately stunned! He recognized the color of the clothes; he had seen the siblings wear them before at the Liu residence. He just hadn't expected that they would wear these back to the Mu residence.

The old lady coughed in anger, and the nanny beside her quickly helped her catch her breath before turning to look at Liu Haiye.

“Young master, to be honest, I am just a servant, but there are some things that the masters are reluctant to say because they care about their reputation, but I feel very sorry for them! Now that you have angered the old lady to such an extent, may I say a few words?”

Upon hearing this, Liu Haiye immediately bowed and said, "What are you saying, Granny? You are someone who serves my mother-in-law and have watched Changchun grow up, so of course you can say that."

The old woman nodded. "Young master, our young lady is the only one of her generation. She is extremely favored within the entire family. Just as Madam said, the previous marriage was arranged because the old master and master were impressed by your character and learning. Although your rank is not high now, you are still young, and you have a long road ahead of you, don't you? Who knows when you will rise to prominence?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Haiye's eyelids twitched; there was definitely an element of implication in those words!

Liu Haiye remained calm and didn't dare to look at the old lady. He continued to maintain a respectful demeanor and listened attentively.

“The son-in-law is a man, destined for great things, the pillar of the household. But these are family matters, which should naturally be managed by women. Our aunt has married you, so it's only right that she should manage them. Putting that aside, just look at how those three women are dressed. How can our matriarch feel at ease letting them go back to the Liu family? Besides, that cousin is still ill. How can you, as their father, be so heartless?”

Upon hearing this, Liu Haiye's expression turned rather unpleasant. This was clearly an insult, implying that he was unfit to be a father!

“Son-in-law, our aunt has a gentle nature. Think about it carefully, how much has she helped you over the years? The old lady was just saying these past few days that it's difficult for the mother and daughter to even see each other now that the old lady has married her off to Yunzhou! And now that the old lady is getting old, she inevitably misses her children and grandchildren. Isn't that right? She even mentioned it to you yesterday, sir, to see if we could let our aunt stay in the capital for a longer period of time?”

Upon hearing this, Liu Haiye was startled. Living in the capital for an extended period? What did this mean? Was this an attempt to force him to divorce Mu Changchun?

Looking up, she saw the old woman looking at her with a slight smile, and in her eyes, there was clearly a hint of probing!

Liu Haiye thought for a moment, could it be? The old lady was thinking of getting her brother-in-law to transfer her to work in Beijing? That would be great!

Although Yunzhou City is close to the capital, it is still outside. The capital is different! It is right under the emperor's nose! There are many high-ranking officials and nobles, so there are naturally more opportunities!

Liu Haiye's eyes lit up with delight. He then noticed the old woman nodding slightly at him and the old lady glaring at him with a hint of exasperation. He immediately confirmed his guess and, without another word, knelt down.

"My future depends on your kind words, Mother-in-law. As for the Liu family, please rest assured, I guarantee that there will be no more troublesome matters."

The old lady took a breath, and her complexion improved slightly. She then gave a wink, and the old nanny smiled and stepped aside, bowing her head.

"Get up. Here's what we'll do: these two children can stay with me for now. You'll definitely come back after the New Year, and then the two children can go back with you."

Just as the old lady finished speaking, she heard footsteps outside. A maid came to report, "Reporting to the old lady, the eldest young lady has come to pay her respects."

The old lady was taken aback. Why was she here at this time? She glanced at Liu Haiye and quickly gestured for him to get up. "Let her in."

"Yes, old lady."

"Greetings to Grandmother, and greetings to Uncle." After bowing, Mu Xin Nuan stepped forward and said with a smile, "Grandmother, I've brought some good news today. Would you like to hear it?"

Seeing her granddaughter's innocent and adorable face, the old lady smiled and took her little hand in her hand. "Oh? Does Nuan have any good news to tell Grandma?"

Mu Xin Nuan glanced at the old lady, then at Liu Haiye beside her, and said with a smile, "Granddaughter just came from Father's place. We just discussed it with Father, and we said that next spring, my cousins ​​will study at our Mu family's clan school. Father said that the tuition and everything else will be covered by our Mu family. Anyway, Aunt is also a member of the Mu family. It's all the same."

The old lady was taken aback. "When did this happen?"

Mu Xin Nuan smiled and said, "Just now. Grandmother, do you not believe me? Mother went with us just now. It was Mother who brought it up herself. Mother's point is that my cousin is beautiful, but she is a little dull in her speech and behavior. So, she thought that after the New Year, she would find someone to teach my cousin some etiquette and manners of a well-bred lady. Mother said that Grandmother has always doted on my aunt, and my aunt's daughter also has half of the Mu family's blood in her, so she should be the same as us."

As soon as Mu Xin Nuan finished speaking, the people in the room each had their own thoughts!

The old lady hadn't expected her daughter-in-law to be so kind to Mu Changchun's children! Liu Haiye, on the other hand, was both happy and worried.

What delighted them was that their children could enter the Mu family's clan school—that was incredibly good news! The Mu family had been a family of scholars for generations, far surpassing their own family in this regard! More importantly, the Mu family was located in the capital!

And this was precisely what worried him. If this happened, his children would definitely have to stay in the Mu family!
