Chapter 285 A Heart-to-Heart Talk Between Mother and Daughter!
Mu Xinyao suddenly felt a panic she had never experienced before!
In fact, she never really cared about her younger brother!
Firstly, since she wasn't really Mu Xinyao, she naturally felt no obligation to do anything for her foolish younger brother. Secondly, she was also somewhat annoyed that he was getting too close to Mu Xinnuan! So close that he was even closer to her, his own sister. This made her uncomfortable just thinking about it!
"Ayuan."
Finally, she called out his name in a trembling voice, but the boy, upon hearing the call, turned and left without looking back, as if he had seen something utterly disgusting and refused to look back even once more!
Mu Xinyao's hands fell limply to her sides, and she felt somewhat ethereal.
"why why?"
Qinghong dared not say anything. She immediately helped her back to the courtyard, fearing that the second young lady might suffer another mishap.
Mu Xinyao sat dejectedly on the bed. Since coming into this world, first her mother was imprisoned, then her uncle was murdered, and finally her mother committed suicide. This series of blows hadn't made her feel too sad. After all, those people were just blood relatives of this body, while she was a person with a modern soul!
But the way Mu Qingyuan looked at her today made her realize that she was completely abandoned by everyone in this family!
She thought that she had found a powerful figure like King Ming to support her and that she could climb even higher, but she never expected that she would not even have a single person to confide in!
No matter what she does, no one will cry or laugh with her. Is such a life meaningful?
Mu Xinyao couldn't help but wonder, could it be that she had done something wrong?
But upon transmigrating, she found herself as a lowly concubine's daughter. Shouldn't she be planning for herself? Shouldn't she be thinking about how to become the legitimate daughter and then marry in style? But why didn't they understand? Even her own brother wouldn't listen to a single word she said.
That night, Mu Xinyao tossed and turned, unable to sleep, while Mu Xinnuan of Yuexuan went to bed early and slept soundly until dawn.
After leaving there, Mu Qingyuan was filled with frustration and anger!
I thought my second sister just didn't like my eldest sister, and that she was just insecure because of her own status, so she didn't like to get close to her eldest sister. But it turns out that she had been plotting against my eldest sister and mother on many occasions!
Mu Qingyuan found it hard to accept this situation for a while.
To be fair, his mother and elder sister had indeed treated him well. Even the businesses he had entrusted to his elder sister to manage were handled very well by her. She even forced him to look at the account books and made him take time to visit the shops every one or two months to prevent him from being cheated again.
Mu Qingyuan is not young anymore; he is already ten years old and has naturally begun to have his own opinions and views.
If the eldest sister really had designs on her businesses, why would she do this?
Thinking back on the care his mother had given him over the years, Mu Qingyuan felt that even his own mother couldn't have been better.
Mu Qingyuan didn't remember the events of a few years ago very clearly, but he vaguely remembered that every time he was with his aunt and second sister, they would talk badly about his mother and eldest sister, saying how vicious they were!
However, he never spoke ill of his aunt or second sister in front of his mother and eldest sister.
Mu Qingyuan tossed and turned, unable to sleep. So he got up in the middle of the night and woke up the servant who had been taking care of him. He then asked the servant to tell him about some things that happened back then.
That servant truly felt his life was miserable!
Having such a master, staying up late at night to listen to stories of the past? But who can blame me when he's the master? Naturally, I dare not slack off and begin to recount each and every one of them in detail.
Actually, he didn't know very much; most of what he knew was hearsay.
Mu Qingyuan was just on a whim. After all, he was young and had little energy. Before long, he fell asleep while listening.
The next day, Mu Xin Nuan woke up feeling refreshed and secretly pleased. She thought to herself, "Mu Xin Yao must have had a very restless night last night."
"Miss, shall we go to Jinyuan first?"
"No, let's go to Wangyue Pavilion first. Don't keep the master waiting."
"Yes, ma'am."
Mu Xin Nuan finished her piano lesson, and it was almost noon. After tidying up, she gracefully headed towards Jin Yuan.
As soon as Mu Xin Nuan entered, she immediately had Mu Qing Yang carried out and sent Mu Qing to guard outside the door.
Seeing her posture, Li knew that she must have something important to say, and her expression also became solemn.
"Mother, how do you think the old lady treats you?"
Li was taken aback; she hadn't expected her to bring this up.
"It's alright!" Li thought for a moment, then felt it was inappropriate. "I should say it's not good. To be honest, I still don't know what I did to offend her that made her so disgusted with me."
"Mother, have you ever thought about it? Before you were engaged to Father, her attitude towards you was different. Why did it change so much after you got married?"
Madam Li shook her head. "I've thought about it, but I really can't figure it out. I've served her wholeheartedly since I entered the Mu family, and I've done my best to manage the household. But I really don't know why she dislikes me."
"Mother, what if she initially chose you as her daughter-in-law, but not Father?"
"What?" Madam Li was quite surprised and quickly looked up to glance outside. "You child, you're talking nonsense!"
“Mother, I’m not making this up. Think about it. Otherwise, why would she have such a strong opinion about you?”
"Anuan, tell me honestly, where did you hear all this from?" Li felt that her daughter's words were a bit strange, and besides, it was best for children not to get involved in adult matters.
“Mother, please don’t worry about where I heard this from. Just tell me, isn’t the old lady being too biased towards the second branch of the family?”
"The old lady is biased. You mean, because she doesn't like me, she's favoring the Jin family even more?"
Mu Xin Nuan shook her head. It seemed that she had to tell the truth to convince her mother.
“Mother, have you ever thought that, in the beginning, the old lady had planned for you to marry your second uncle?”
"What?" Madam Li was so shocked that she stood up abruptly, her face filled with disbelief, as if she had heard some kind of ghost story, her expression somewhat strange.
Mu Xin Nuan gently touched her forehead, knowing this would happen!
