Your Highness, please stop chasing me.

Seeing that Cang Lin didn't seem to believe him, Ye Yi quickly straightened up and said to Mu Xue with great conviction, "I will absolutely obey Fifth Miss now."

After saying that, he looked at Mu Xue with pleading eyes.

Mu Xue looked at Ye Yi with amusement; she had never intended to make things difficult for him.

So Mu Xue said, "Alright, Uncle, you go ahead and do your work. I still have the Mu family to take care of, don't I? This matter is ultimately the Mu family's responsibility, and if manpower is needed, it should be provided by the Mu family, right?"

Cang Lin thought about it and agreed. He looked at Ye Yi and said, "Tell Ye Yi not to bully my precious baby, or I will definitely make your Xiyu Kingdom miserable!"

"Yes, I'll definitely pass on the message." Yoruichi thought to himself, he really wasn't suited for communicating with people!

We'll have to come back at Night San for this again!

Suddenly remembering Ren Yuan, Ye Yi asked in confusion, "Where is Young Master Ren?"

"Oh, he was chased away by Xiaoxuexue!" Cang Lin waved his hand dismissively.

Yoruichi looked at Muyuki with a puzzled expression.

Mu Xue explained, "Since I'm going to cooperate with you, I naturally won't get too close to him. After all, if you two have a falling out, it will greatly affect our cooperation."

Ye Yi thought to herself, "As expected, the Fifth Miss still sides with her own Prince!"

Ye Yi nodded and said, "What Fifth Miss said is true. Young Master Ren hasn't been in the capital for the past few years, so we don't really know much about his whereabouts. It's only right to keep our distance."

The two talked as they walked and soon arrived at Granny Kang's courtyard.

When Kang Mama saw Mu Xue enter, she hurriedly tried to get up, but Mu Xue quickly went over to help her and said softly, "Mama, please sit down. You're just feeling a bit better, why be so formal?"

"This old servant just wants to see Miss happy." Pulling Mu Xue along, Kang Mama sat back down in her chair.

She looked at Mu Xue with affection, let out a long breath, and said to her, "I know my own body, so Miss doesn't need to worry too much."

"What are you saying, Granny? You're my nanny, so who else should I care about if not you? Don't say things like that again, or I'll get angry!" Mu Xue said, feigning displeasure.

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about that anymore. This old servant asked Susu to call you over because there's something I want to tell you," said Granny Kang after careful consideration.

"What does Granny want to say to me?" Mu Xue asked patiently.

“Since Miss is already investigating what happened back then, there are some things that this old servant thinks it would be best to tell Miss.” Kang Mama finally said it.

Upon hearing this, Mu Xue's heart skipped a beat. She silently looked at Granny Kang, waiting for what she would hear next.

As Kang Mama looked at Mu Xue, her gaze gradually became distant, as if she were seeing someone else through Mu Xue.

"That year, this old servant followed Madam to Yu Nan City. Besides recuperating, it was also because the old lady of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion was forcing Madam to take in Concubine An. Madam didn't want to make things difficult for the General, so she came to Yu Nan City to avoid trouble. Unexpectedly, Concubine An still managed to catch up with her in the end," Kang Mama said with a sigh.

"Didn't Granny tell me about this before?" Mu Xue asked.

She felt that there must be some other reason why Granny Kang brought up the old story again.

Kang Mama glanced at Mu Xue and then said, "What I told Miss last time is indeed the case, but there is another reason why Madam does not want the General to take in Concubine An."

"Is there another reason?" Mu Xue asked, puzzled, as she looked at Granny Kang.

Granny Kang found it difficult to speak at this moment, but she also knew that Mu Xue's temperament was not like that of an ordinary young lady. She still decided to tell Mu Xue everything.

She stated firmly, "Madam has discovered by chance that Aunt An is having an affair with someone else."

Although Mu Xue had suspected it before, she was still quite surprised to hear this definitive answer.

She asked, puzzled, "But doesn't that mean Aunt An is deeply in love with my father, General Mu? How could that be?"

Granny Kang scoffed and said disdainfully, "Aunt An is only deeply infatuated with the general's status. What she values ​​most is power and position."

"Madam is kind-hearted and didn't want to ruin her reputation, which is why she refused the old lady's suggestion. But she didn't expect it to arouse the old lady's jealousy. During that time, the old lady made trouble for Madam every day. Madam was exhausted and had no choice but to think about moving out of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion," said Granny Kang.

"Madam? The Duke of Zhenguo's second wife? Aunt An's aunt?" Mu Xue asked.

Kang Mama nodded and continued, "Three days before the departure, the old lady suddenly summoned the madam over and did not return all night. Unexpectedly, the next day, she found that the general and Concubine An were already sleeping in the same room. The madam also realized that this was definitely the old lady's doing, but it was too late. Helpless, she could only agree to take Concubine An into the family."

Mu Xue said with disgust, "That old lady is truly vicious! Why does she have to break up a couple's marriage when she's perfectly normal?"

Thinking of all this, Granny Kang was also a little angry. She said, "The old lady is indeed vicious. She will stop at nothing to make Concubine An become the general's woman. The general was very angry and wanted to leave, but then it was suddenly announced that the lady was pregnant, but her health was not good and she was not suitable to travel far. There was no other way but to put aside the idea of ​​coming to Yu Nan City."

She was angry for a moment, then continued, "During this period, Aunt An was also diagnosed with pregnancy, so the general had no choice but to accept Aunt An. In the same year, the madam and Aunt An gave birth to their children not long apart. At that time, the doctor said that Aunt An was premature, but the madam and I knew in our hearts that it was not certain whether the child was really the general's. The madam wanted to tell the general several times, but because the war situation was critical at the time, the madam was unable to speak until the general went to war."

"Miss, Madam has watched you grow up day by day. Aunt An and the Sixth Miss have been very well-behaved. She originally planned to raise the An mother and daughter like this. Unexpectedly, the Old Madam wanted to promote Aunt An to a secondary wife. Of course, Madam would not agree. The Old Madam started to make things difficult for her in all sorts of ways. Madam had not thought about her health during her pregnancy. When she gave birth to Miss, Aunt An's premature birth had already taken a toll on her body. How could she possibly endure the Old Madam's various difficulties!" At this point, Granny Kang couldn't help but wipe away the tears that welled up in her eyes.

Mu Xue had completely understood what Granny Kang meant.

Her eyes gradually turned cold. Her voice remained soft, but it was not hard to detect a hint of coldness in it.

She asked, "When I was five years old, my family suddenly moved to Yunan City. Why?"

This time, Granny Kang didn't hide it anymore and readily told Mu Xue.
