Chapter 230 Hundred-Day Banquet Arrangements

After finishing his alchemy session with Laozi, Mu Chen returned to the old house in high spirits. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw his mother busily preparing for the 100-day celebration.

Mu Chen stepped forward and said to his mother with a smile, "Mom, you're setting this up way too early."

Mother Mu stopped what she was doing, looked up at Mu Chen, and replied with a smile, "It's getting late, there's still so much to do! Where have you been these past few days? I haven't seen you anywhere."

Mu Chen replied casually, "I'm busy with company matters."

Mother Mu nodded, then continued, "Are you going back to the courtyard now? I was just looking for Su Su. I'm looking at these different arrangements, and I wonder which style she would like."

Mu Chen thought for a moment and said, "I was just about to go back to the courtyard, so let's go together."

So, Mu Chen and his mother walked towards the courtyard together. Along the way, Mu Chen's mother kept asking him questions about the details of the 100-day celebration, and Mu Chen patiently answered them one by one.

In the spacious and bright living room, Su Yun was leisurely sitting on the sofa, legs crossed, enjoying delicious fruit. Suddenly, she caught sight of Mu's mother walking in, quickly put down the fruit, and straightened her posture to appear dignified and elegant.

With a smile, Mu's mother said kindly to Su Yun, "Oh, child, don't be so reserved." Her gentle tone made people feel especially warm.

Su Yun smiled and replied, "Okay, Mom, please have a seat." Then, she asked warmly, "You came here today specifically to visit Xiaobao, right?"

Mrs. Mu nodded and said gently, "Yes, I came to see my dear granddaughter and also wanted to know your thoughts on decorating the courtyard. I brought some design templates with me; take a look and see if they suit your taste." As she spoke, she took out a tablet computer from her bag and handed it to Su Yun.

Su Yun took the tablet and carefully looked through the design drawings, occasionally exchanging her opinions and ideas with Mu's mother. The two chatted happily, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Just then, Madam Mu suddenly turned to Yueyue and said, "Yueyue, go and ask the postpartum nannies to bring the babies down so I can have a good look at them." Yueyue replied, "Yes, Madam." Then she turned and quickly walked towards the baby's room on the second floor.

After a while, the nannies slowly came downstairs carrying the adorable babies. Mother Mu eagerly went to greet them, her face beaming with smiles, and said, "Come, let Grandma see my eldest granddaughter." She gently stretched out her hands, carefully taking the baby, her eyes filled with loving affection.

Mother Mu carefully examined her eldest granddaughter in her arms and couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, this little one is so chubby and has such rosy skin, she's so adorable! Grandma loves her so much!" Then, she looked at her second granddaughter and grandson in turn, and was equally delighted, a happy smile always on her lips.

After a short while, Su Yun carefully selected from the many styles and finally chose the one she liked. Pointing happily to the picture on the screen, she said to her mother, "Mom, this is it! I think it's especially beautiful and it suits my taste perfectly. When can you arrange for someone to come and decorate it? I'd like to tidy up the room in advance and make room for them."

Mother Mu smiled and nodded gently, replying, "You don't need to tidy up, honey. I'll find a professional to handle everything; they'll definitely make you happy." With that, Mother Mu gently closed the tablet and placed it aside.

Then, Mu's mother inquired about Su Su's health with concern: "Su Su, how are you recovering lately? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? A woman's body is greatly weakened after giving birth. Remember to continue taking the supplements I gave you before, so you can recover your health faster." Mu's mother's tone revealed her deep care and worry.

"Thank you for your concern, Mom. I'm doing well, and I've been taking the supplements. I really owe you so much for thinking of me!" Su Yun's words were sweet and heartwarming.

At this moment, the babies had all quietly drifted off to sleep, and Mother Mu was very careful not to wake these adorable little ones.

"Susu, I'll head back to the front yard now. I won't be staying for dinner today. The babies are all asleep, and I don't want to disturb them," Mother Mu said softly, a kind smile on her face.

"Okay, Mom, then I'll see you out." Su Yun quickly stood up, ready to see Mu's mother out.

"No need, Su Su, it's windy outside. You're still quite weak, so don't catch a chill," Mother Mu quickly stopped Su Yun and said with concern.

After Mu's mother left, the room fell silent, leaving only Mu Chen and Su Yun. Mu Chen's lips curled into a slight smile, as if he had some secret to share with Su Yun. He slowly took a small bottle out of his pocket, gently shaking it in his hand, making a crisp sound.

Su Yun's gaze was drawn to the small bottle, and she couldn't help but wonder what was inside. Just as she was racking her brains, a sudden inspiration struck her, and she blurted out, "You refined the mantis spirit into a pill?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Chen smiled faintly, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes. He said softly, "You're really smart."

Su Yun was overjoyed, surprised that she had guessed correctly. She was filled with curiosity about the alchemy process, so she pressed, "So, once you've refined the pills, how do you plan to use them?"

Mu Chen already had a plan in mind. He stared at Su Yun and answered solemnly, "This pill was specially made for you. It has powerful effects and is specifically for when you rebuild your consciousness."

Upon hearing this, Su Yun smiled with delight. She gladly accepted the pill and said gratefully, "Then I really have to thank you properly."

Then, Mu Chen abruptly changed the subject and asked, "By the way, have you thought of a name for the baby?"

Su Yun was slightly taken aback, seemingly not expecting Mu Chen to bring this up suddenly. She hesitated for a moment before replying, "Uh... I haven't thought about it yet. I originally thought you would think of the name, so I haven't considered it carefully myself."

Mu Chen's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile. He said softly, "In that case, I'll leave this important task to you. After all, naming the baby is a very meaningful thing."

"This is truly a daunting task!" Su Yun muttered, looking helplessly at the situation before her. Her gaze fell on the three adorable babies, and a sense of powerlessness welled up within her.

"Can't you participate?" Su Yun turned her head and complained to the person next to her. Her voice was tinged with dissatisfaction and grievance, and her pouting lips made her seem both cute and pitiful.
