Folks! Who understands this feeling?! When she was born, her father was missing. When she was two, her mother disappeared. When she was four, her older brother fell into the river and drowned... Wa...
Bai Mengyun sat down next to Mu Yanming with a cup of tea. She had been suppressed and couldn't say anything earlier.
Now that she's back in her own room, at least she has someone to talk to about these things.
Bai Mengyun, who had previously kept her mouth shut, immediately opened up.
“Your father said that your maternal grandmother fell into the lake because it was too dark.”
"I don't believe that at all. Although your grandmother is middle-aged, she has always been in very good health, especially her eyesight, which is better than that of a child. How could she suddenly fall into the water?"
"And your little aunt, she was lying in bed motionless a few days ago, looking like she was about to die."
"But this morning, she was standing in front of me perfectly fine, without showing any signs of being sick."
"Your grandfather said she had been bedridden for a few days because of a fever, but I know she didn't have a fever at all!"
Mu Yanming held the calligraphy brush, listening carefully to Bai Mengyun's words. After thinking for a while, she finally asked:
"Mother, has Grandmother mentioned Aunt to you recently?"
Bai Mengyun thought for a moment, and realized that her mother seemed to have been very busy lately and rarely talked to her.
As for the little dumpling, it seems like it was just last night.
Bai Mengyun recounted her conversation with Madam Bai from the previous night to Mu Yanming, and then added, "Don't blame your maternal grandmother for being heartless; she's doing all this for your sake."
Mu Yanming had long suspected that Madam Bai was suspicious, and now that he knew she wanted his aunt to die, he had a pretty good idea of what was going on.
Mu Yanming asked first, "Mother, was your last fainting spell related to Grandmother?"
Bai Mengyun's eyes darted around involuntarily, and she waved her hand, saying, "No, no, what could it have to do with your maternal grandmother?"
Mu Yanming said firmly, "Mother, we are mother and daughter, don't lie to me. When you were unconscious last time, Grandmother's expression clearly showed that she was guilty."
Under the intimidating gaze of Mu Yanming, Bai Mengyun had no choice but to reveal the truth about the fertility drugs.
However, during the conversation, Bai Mengyun deliberately did not mention the true source of the fertility drugs.
They only said that Madam Bai got the medicine from a charlatan.
After all, she can't afford to offend that person right now.
Upon hearing this, Mu Yanming glared angrily at Bai Mengyun.
"Grandmother wanted the Mu family line to decline, ideally with only you bearing a child, so that the Mu family could focus all their energy on raising us."
"But Mother, since ancient times, which great family has not prospered by having many offspring and flourishing branches?"
"Only when all family members are successful can they help each other and the family prosper."
Mu Yanming spoke calmly, but she was still angry at her mother's foolishness. She hung the brush on the brush holder and said to Bai Mengyun:
“My maternal grandmother had a narrow vision and a limited perspective. She was ruthless in her actions. Such a person could accomplish small and bad things, but could not accomplish great things and would never be able to rise to prominence.”
“Mother, you should have less contact with your maternal grandmother in the future, especially regarding family matters. Don’t tell her anything about them.”
Bai Mengyun was stunned by her daughter's scolding, her mind still in a daze.
"She's your maternal grandmother, how could you say such a thing about her!"
Mu Yanming looked at Bai Mengyun and said, word by word:
"Those who commit many unrighteous acts will surely perish!"
Bai Mengyun was taken aback by her daughter's calm and ruthless demeanor. She swallowed hard and said, "What do you mean by that?"
Mu Yanming: "I reckon my aunt's illness this time is inextricably linked to my maternal grandmother."
"My aunt's sudden recovery might mean she wasn't actually sick, and it was all just an act."
"The purpose was to make my grandmother believe it, and then she would suffer the consequences."
After saying that, Mu Yanming thought about it again, based on her recent observations of her aunt.
She wouldn't go so far as to kill her grandmother.
Perhaps my grandmother's fall into the water was caused by her own actions.
"What? It's all an act?" Bai Mengyun stood up abruptly after hearing this.
She lifted her leg to leave, shouting, "This is outrageous! They've deceived us! And they even caused my mother to fall into the water!"
Seeing that Bai Mengyun looked like she was about to interrogate her, Mu Yanming slammed her hand on the table and said, "Come back here! This matter was started by your grandmother's injustice. If you make a scene, the first person to suffer will be your grandmother."
Upon hearing her daughter's reminder, Bai Mengyun patted her head, looking as if she had suddenly realized something.
"Yes, yes, we can't let this get out of hand!"
After Bai Mengyun finished speaking, she punched her chest in hatred again.
"How could my mother be so foolish? Why would she want to harm the little dumpling?"
"Now we're in trouble, we're stuck with this bitter pill to swallow, we can't say a word about it!"
Mu Yanming took a few deep breaths.
So that's all the analysis she did! Her mother still missed the point!
Mu Yanming shook his head helplessly, got up and walked out.
Seeing that she was about to leave, Bai Mengyun asked in confusion:
"Didn't you tell me not to go out? Why are you leaving now? Where are you going?"
With her hands behind her back, Mu Yanming, despite her young age, already possessed a composed demeanor. Without turning her head, she said:
“Mother, remember what I just told you. If you have too much contact with your maternal grandmother again, I will definitely report to Father and Grandfather. They have ways to deal with you.”
"You stay in the house and reflect on your actions. I'm going to check on my aunt."
Bai Mengyun: ? ? ?
Was she scolded by her daughter and then grounded?
