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

Mu Xinyao lowered her head and chuckled to herself. No matter how clever her elder sister was, she was still a child and her vision was too short-sighted! How could the Emperor's reward be sold off so easily?

"Sister, it seems that the Emperor's reward is not something to be touched lightly, is it?" Mu Xinyao said cautiously, while glancing at her father beside her.

Mu Chang'an frowned. Did the Mu family lack money? It seemed not.

The old man, however, remained calm and composed. "Anuan, why did you suddenly think of these things?"

Mu Xin Nuan was slightly uneasy. "Grandfather, when I went to my uncle's house a few days ago, I saw my second aunt and third cousin. I heard my second aunt mention the hardships faced by the soldiers and people on the border. I heard that they often go for days on end without eating meat."

After speaking, she pursed her lips, glanced timidly at the old man, and whispered, "Anuan is too young, and really doesn't know how she can do her part for the soldiers and people on the border, so, so..."

She didn't finish her sentence, but Mu Chang'an and the old man understood.

"Anuan, how can a child like you manage matters at the border? Let's not even talk about how you are thousands of miles away from the border. Even if you were to get there, what could you do? Would you fight on the battlefield or do charity work by distributing porridge every day?" the old lady said sternly.

The old lady's words were clearly a veiled criticism of Mu Xinnuan, implying that as a daughter of a high-ranking family, she shouldn't concern herself with matters outside the family. It was a veiled insult, implying that Mu Xinnuan had lost her dignity!

Mu Xinyao was somewhat uncertain. While the old lady's words were certainly correct, the old master and her father seemed extremely shocked by the situation.

Madam Li opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say! It was true that her daughter shouldn't be concerned with border affairs, but at such a young age, she already knew how to be devoted to the country. Such a mindset was not something everyone could have.

For a moment, the room became eerily quiet! Apart from the breathing of the people inside, nothing else could be heard.

"Ah Nuan is right!"

After a while, Mu Chang'an's voice finally broke the somewhat strange and awkward atmosphere in the room! And then, the old man burst into hearty laughter!

The old lady's face suddenly turned ugly! This father and son were clearly deliberately trying to sabotage her!

"Ah Nuan is so young, yet she has such a thoughtful mind. It is a blessing for the Mu family! Good child, well said!"

Hearing her father praise Mu Xinnuan, Mu Xinyao naturally felt uncomfortable. She smiled innocently and said, "Father is absolutely right. I wonder if you have already done anything practical since you have this idea, sister? Have you encountered any difficulties? Now that the elders are all here, you might as well tell them so that they can help you come up with some ideas."

Mu Xin Nuan's eyes darkened. Could this Mu Xin Yao suffocate if she didn't speak?

This is clearly a trap he set for himself!

If I said I had any concrete actions to take, and that I hadn't consulted with my elders about such an important matter, wouldn't that be disrespectful to them? But if I said I had no concrete plans, wouldn't that be an veiled criticism that I was just all talk and no action?

No matter how you answer, you'll be labeled in a bad way. Either you're disrespectful to your elders, or you're just spouting empty words to please them! They might even doubt whether what you're saying is true or false.

Mu Xin Nuan turned to look at Mu Xin Yao. In her clear eyes, there was a faint smile and a gentle light. Anyone who looked at her would feel that Mu Xin Nuan was incomparably gentle and graceful at this moment, and every inch of her eyes was filled with noble gentleness!

Mu Xinyao felt a chill run down her spine upon seeing this. If it weren't for the large number of people around, she would have even considered taking a step back to escape from that seemingly harmless but actually extremely eerie gaze!

“My sister is right.” After saying that, Mu Xin Nuan looked away from Mu Xin Yao and turned to the old man with a troubled expression. “Grandfather, I am indeed facing some difficulties. This morning, I spent a long time writing and drawing in the courtyard, but I couldn’t come up with a good solution. I only estimated the value of some of the money and jewelry I had. But I thought that these were all gifts from our elders, and how could I just sell them off on my own? So, I hadn’t made up my mind. Then I suddenly saw these pearls, and that’s why I was wondering how much they cost?”

His words were perfectly tactful, not only preventing Mu Xinyao from finding fault, but also fulfilling her filial piety!

Because they considered that these were all gifts from their elders, they only estimated their value but dared not sell them. Once this was said, the elders present, who were originally somewhat dissatisfied, could no longer express their dissatisfaction.

Madam Li, with a look of both amusement and exasperation, said, "You silly child, these are all matters for adults, how could it be your place to worry about them? Besides, even if the pearls bestowed by the Emperor are very valuable, they cannot be sold! That would be a crime!"

Mu Xin Nuan smiled faintly, "Mother, I didn't intend to sell them. I was just thinking that if I receive any rewards in the future, could I ask Father to discuss with the Emperor about exchanging all these things for real gold and silver? That way, I wouldn't have to worry about them anymore."

Mu Xin Nuan spoke these words so casually, as if she didn't know that royal rewards couldn't be changed so easily!

Because of her words, the atmosphere in the room became much more relaxed.

The old man chuckled, "Anuan, tell me, even if you sell these things, how do you plan to send the silver to the border?"

Mu Xin Nuan smiled innocently, "Isn't that simple? Of course, we'll exchange them for silver notes first, and then have them escorted to the border by the guards from our mansion and the guards from my maternal grandfather's mansion. Then we'll just hand them over to my second uncle."

Mu Chang'an's mind raced. "Why does A'Nuan want to exchange it for silver notes? Wouldn't it be more convenient to just send the silver directly?"

Mu Xin Nuan chuckled softly, and the look in her eyes as she looked at her father seemed to say something like, "You're really stupid!"

"It's a journey of thousands of miles. If it were real gold and silver, wouldn't that be deliberately attracting thieves? But if it were banknotes, it would be different. They're small and easy to carry. Most importantly, they wouldn't be conspicuous. Moreover, if there are no banks at the border, my second uncle can send a team of elite soldiers to exchange and escort the silver. Although it's a bit troublesome, it's safer."

This time, not only the old master, but even Mu Chang'an was speechless upon hearing it!

Mu Xin Nuan is only eleven years old today! Such a delicate and thoughtful mind, even a boy might not have it, right?
