The two little girls, who hadn't seen their father for many years, were still very excited and looking forward to it. They were currently in a clothing store, looking overwhelmed by the choices.

"Grandma! Doesn't Xingxing look great in this?"

The little girl was holding a very pink plum blossom brocade dress with a yellow flower at the waist. The hem of the dress reached just to the little girl's ankles, and the exquisite semi-circular neckline looked quite nice.

Qin Qing couldn't help but be amazed, especially since Xiao Muxing had gained some weight after being fed for a while, and her chubby face was very cute. Her cheeks were pink and lovely, and her long hair was tied into two buns, making her look very adorable.

"So beautiful, she's like a little fairy! No wonder she's Grandma's child! Come here, let Grandma give her a kiss!"

Peony and the others were used to Qin Qing's behavior, but the clothing shop owner was astonished and stared incredulously at the grandfather and grandson in front of him!

Seeing this, Xiao Muyue looked unconvinced and took a light gold brocade dress for herself. Every thread of it exuded luxury, and her already fair and jade-like face was made even more noble and elegant by the dress. The two buns she wore gave a completely different visual effect.

Grandma! Yueyue looks even better in this!

As she spoke, she ran towards Qin Qing, her little mouth pouting high! This made Qin Qing's heart melt instantly! She picked up the little one directly.

"Okay, okay, you're all fairies~"

Seeing the family so harmonious and happy, the shop owner couldn't help but praise them. Qin Qing was overjoyed and proud, even though she knew there were more flattering words than anything else, she was still happy to hear them.

"Peony, you and Zifeng should pick one out too. We'll go to the academy to pick up Ayang later!"

It's been so long since I've seen her, I wonder how her eldest grandson is doing now!

An hour later, at the main gate of Lushan Academy in the capital city…

A carriage slowly came to a stop, and the whole family, young and old, dismounted and stood at the door. The elder still retained her charm, the eldest was a beautiful young lady, and the youngest was adorable and rosy-cheeked! Even the only boy had a youthful freshness and a remarkably handsome appearance!

This naturally attracted the attention of many pedestrians and scholars!

Qin Qing looked up at the four large characters above, glad that she had found out the details, otherwise she would have really thought that Lushan Academy and Qingshan Academy were two different places.

Because the family standing next to the carriage attracted too much attention, a scholar who had just come out saw her and was momentarily stunned.

"It's you?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Qing turned her head and saw the young man standing at the door. However, she didn't react much. She simply took two steps forward and came to a young scholar who happened to be passing by the door, with a smile on her face.

"Young master, excuse me, is there a student named Mu Yang in the academy? He looks to be around ten years old."

The boy's brow furrowed unconsciously as someone blocked his way. When he looked up and heard that gentle voice, he was suddenly surprised.

Then he saw the woman's appearance and was stunned for a moment. His face turned red instantly. Realizing his nervousness, he quickly took two steps back before remembering what the woman had said.

"Are you looking for Mu Yang, Madam? May I ask who you are...?"

Upon hearing his words, Qin Qing immediately realized that Mu Yang was indeed there, and was overjoyed. She quickly replied.

“I am his grandmother, from Qingcheng! Young master, you recognize my A-Yang? That’s wonderful!”

Looking at Qin Qing's smile, the young man couldn't help but hesitate slightly. After all, Mu Yang was known in their academy for being strange and unsociable, and he was also specially recruited by the teacher—to put it bluntly, he got in through connections. They, on the other hand, all got in through exams, and Mu Yang had no background or connections whatsoever…

His treatment at the academy is quite remarkable! Now, looking at this woman, she has an extraordinary demeanor and is quite beautiful. Could it be that Mu Yang really has some special identity?

Seeing the boy's stunned expression, Qin Qing also noticed something was wrong. Just as she was about to speak, a gentle voice interrupted.

"Dai Sheng, you go in first."

The two looked at the same time, and the young man named Dai Sheng's expression changed. He quickly raised his hand to bow respectfully!

"Greetings, Senior Brother Ziyu!"

"If Madam needs anything, please consult Senior Brother Ziyu. I'll take my leave now!"

After saying that, he introduced Qin Qing to Ziyu and quickened his pace to enter the academy.

Seeing his expression, Qin Qing immediately realized that the young man in front of her was probably of a higher status than the others.

Looking up, she saw the young man first bow to her, then look at Qin Qing with a complicated yet polite expression.

“Madam, what happened yesterday was my fault. It is fate that we have met. Why don’t I take you inside? The student you are looking for is named Mu Yang, is that right? May I ask your surname, Madam?”

This series of questions and respectful remarks left Qin Qing with no choice but to agree.

“My surname is Qin, and I belong to the Mu Qin clan! Mu Yang is my grandson, and I have come to see him today.”

Upon hearing this, Ziyu nodded, then glanced at the group of people not far behind her, many possibilities flashing through her mind, before finally saying...

"In that case, let the students lead you in! This way, please."

Qin Qing was surprised by the respectful attitude of the young man named Ziyu, but couldn't find the reason. So he simply waved to the people in the distance, and the whole family followed Ziyu inside.

In ancient times, women were rarely seen in academies, let alone in a large academy like Lushan Academy. Apart from the old women cooking in the kitchen, it was almost entirely filled with men!

As these women walked in so openly and confidently, it inevitably caused many students to whisper among themselves.

"Who are those people? They actually managed to get Senior Brother Ziyu to personally greet them and be so friendly!"

"Yes, that woman at the head of the group has a truly elegant air about her. I wonder which family she belongs to..."

"Hey? Dai Sheng, weren't you just talking to that lady? Do you know who she is?"

Upon hearing this, many students at the academy gate couldn't help but turn to look at the young man, Dai Sheng…

Dai Sheng was taken aback. Faced with so many people's questioning gazes, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Thinking of their questions, he quickly explained.

“This… I don’t know this lady’s identity either, but judging from her questions and introduction just now, she seems to be Mu Yang’s grandmother, and she came here today specifically to look for someone.”

Everyone was taken aback by what they heard, until one person blurted out in surprise.

"Mu Yang? That short guy? The one rumored to have gotten in through connections but has no background?"

That's right, short, got in through connections, no background—these are the characteristics that most people in the academy use to describe Mu Yang. As a result, very few students actively try to play with him. Businessmen are profit-driven, and scholars certainly wouldn't approach someone without a reason!
