Old Jiang sighed and said, "Young Master, when the nest is overturned, how can the eggs remain intact? Since the Young Mistress has taken on this title, she can't stay out of it."
He made a "please" gesture to Zhou Shuo.
Mu Ci held Zhou Shuo's hand tightly and refused to let go.
Zhou Shuo patted the back of his hand gently and comforted him, "Don't worry."
Mu Ci couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Luo Bing had seen it clearly. He pried Mu Ci's hands apart, motioning Zhou Shuo to come in. He raised his voice slightly and said, "What are you doing? Are you afraid that the old man will persuade Zhou Shuo to let go? That's great. As soon as you let go, I'll take Zhou Shuo away. From now on, our two families will never coexist!"
Mu Ci knew what Luo Bing meant. He looked at Luo Bing with gratitude and smiled bitterly, "These words are of no use to my grandfather."
"No matter if it's useful or not, I'll put it here first. At least it's a deterrent." Luo Bing found a chair and sat down, saying indifferently.
He really likes watching the battle between the grandfather and grandson of the Mu family. Learning from them will always help him improve.
But he was serious about what he just said. At any time, Zhou Shuo would be put first in his eyes. No one, let alone the old man of the Mu family, could bully Zhou Shuo, not even his own grandfather could do that.
Mu Chen was rocking in the rocking chair on the balcony. Seeing Zhou Shuo walk in, he narrowed his eyes and smiled, "It seems that you are not affected at all. You look good and in a good mood."
Zhou Shuo looked at Mu Chen in surprise.
She knew that Mu Chen was not seriously ill because Mu Ci was not too worried, but she did not expect Mu Chen to look so good and be in such a good mood sitting here.
"Grandpa, you made me worry for nothing." She couldn't help but scold him.
Mu Chen deliberately turned cold, "You little girl! What are you talking about? Are you hoping to see an old man breathing heavily as soon as you come in?"
Zhou Shuo smiled, pulled a small stool over and sat next to Mu Chen. He took Mu Chen's wrist and felt his pulse, then said with a smile, "I wasn't expecting that, but you're like this now, this, this—"
She really didn't know what to say.
Mu Chen let her feel his pulse. Zhou Shuo put down one hand and reached for the other hand. "No matter what, Grandpa is in very good health."
Upon hearing this, Mu Chen smiled kindly and said, "That's because I have a filial granddaughter-in-law who prescribed medicine for me to recuperate. Otherwise, I would have been pissed off to death by these unfilial grandchildren!"
Zhou Shuo let go of Mu Chen's hand, "No way, I'm here, I can't let anything happen to you."
Mu Chen looked at Zhou Shuo, feeling happy but deliberately putting on a stern face. "Then tell me, why didn't Mu Ci stand up again? He came in in that broken wheelchair again. Is he trying to annoy me on purpose?"
Zhou Shuo looked around and found a tablet on the coffee table next to the old man, facing the entrance to the ward.
Zhou Shuo smiled and said, "Brother said that it's his prop. He can't stand up now. If he stands up, it will be even harder for him to explain Song Nan's pregnancy. He would rather sit in a wheelchair to make people think he doesn't have the ability."
"What? Song Nan is pregnant?" Mu Chen was very surprised.
It turned out that the people in Mu Ci's villa were all arranged by Liu Ming, so Mu Chen did not get the news so quickly.
Zhou Shuo nodded and said truthfully, "I just heard about it. It shouldn't be public yet, but the Madam should be here soon."
Mu Chen, who had just sat up in shock, slowly lay down again.
"Girl, are you sure there's nothing wrong between Mu Ci and Song Nan?" Mu Chen asked her worriedly.
"Grandpa, if you ask me twice, I'm no longer sure." Zhou Shuo said with a smile.
Mu Chen glared at her angrily, "Girl, all the criticism is directed at you now! Yet you remain calm and composed, acting as if it has nothing to do with you."
Zhou Shuo's smile remained unchanged. "It's okay. Brother is on my side, and I have you, Grandpa, as my protector. I'm not afraid."
No matter how many holes there are, flattery will never wear out.
Mu Chen immediately perked up and asked her, "So, Song Nan didn't know who had the baby that night, but what about you and Mu Ci? When will I be able to hold my great-grandson?"
Zhou Shuo had been with Mu Ci for the past month, and they had become so close that they were inseparable. When she heard Mu Ci speak so bluntly, her face turned red.
Seeing this, Mu Chen was delighted: "Mu Ci is not a child anymore, you have to hold on tight!"
Zhou Shuo blushed and said, "Grandpa, don't worry. My brother's health isn't right for having a baby right now. Wait for another six months or a year until he's fully recovered, which will also be good for the baby's health."
When Mu Chen heard this, he grabbed Zhou Shuo's wrist and said, "Girl, are you serious? If Mu Ci leaves him, we can have a child next year?"
Zhou Shuo was startled, his face turned even redder, and he nodded, "Yeah."
Mu Chen let go and stroked his hair, "Okay, okay, okay! That's great, this is great news!"
Zhou Shuo was surprised. "Shouldn't Grandpa care about whose child Song Nan is carrying?"
Mu Chen curled his lips and said, "She's not Mu Ci's, why should I care about her?"
Zhou Shuo was speechless.
"But she will tell the outside world that the child is Brother Mu Ci's."
"Don't you believe it?" Mu Chen asked back.
Zhou Shuo nodded and said, "Of course I don't believe it, but aren't you worried about the reputation of the Mu family? Madam has confirmed that Song Nan and Brother Mu Ci are husband and wife, and now they have a child. Madam will definitely spread the news widely. By then, even if Brother has a hundred mouths, he won't be able to explain it clearly. Brother doesn't care, but he is worried that you believe it, so I think he came to explain this matter to you."
Mu Chen curled his lips again, his tone sarcastic, "He's anxious now? What was he doing before?"
Zhou Shuo was stunned and asked hesitantly, "Do you believe him or not?"
Mu Chen shook his head and said, "Whether I believe him or not depends on his performance."
Zhou Shuo was speechless. This old man and this child had exactly the same temper. Neither of them was willing to give in. It was not a good idea to just stay in this stalemate.
"Grandpa, don't you value the reputation of the Mu family the most? If Madam continues to make a fuss like this, Brother Mu Ci will never be able to explain himself even if he jumps into the Yellow River. Can you please stop being angry with me?" Zhou Shuo pulled the corner of Mu Chen's clothes.
Mu Chen looked at the girl with clear eyes in front of him and liked her more and more. This child was truly God's compensation and gift to Mu Ci.
With her by Mu Ci's side, he felt much more at ease.
But he kept saying, "Am I the one who's angry? Shouldn't you try to persuade your stone-like husband? I'm his grandfather! Shouldn't he be filial to me? What does filial piety mean? Obedience is filial piety!"
