Jiang Muyu was stunned, and some information in her mind surged out. She remembered that the original owner did not like Liang Qingchen, and as a result, she did not like the two children she gave birth to with him, especially the daughter who looked most like Liang Qingchen.

Children are the most innocent and know that their mother does not like them and often leaves them to be taken care of by the wet nurse. At first, they would cling to her, but this only made their mother angry, so they no longer wanted to get close to her.

As her biological mother, Mu naturally knew what was in her mind, but she couldn't say much, so she often brought the child to the Marquis's residence.

No wonder she didn't see the child when she first came here yesterday, and even forgot the existence of the child. There was really no trace of a daughter around the original owner.

Mu secretly squeezed her hand, gave her a soothing look, and then walked forward and coaxed Tangtang with a smile: "Grandma will accompany you, okay? Grandma still has a lot of pear blossom cakes, Tangtang, do you want to try some?"

Tangtang stopped crying and said in a sobbing voice: "I want daddy to eat pear blossom cake with me."

Liang Qingchen loved her the most. Although he was busy on weekdays and didn't see her often, he would always bring her little toys to make her happy every time he came back, so she was very attached to her father.

Seeing his daughter crying with red eyes, Liang Qingchen's heart softened, and he quickly coaxed her, "Okay, Daddy will accompany you to eat pear blossom cakes."

Then he said to Madam Mu, "Mother-in-law, I will go in and sit down for a while. I will comfort Tangtang before I leave."

Seeing this, Madam Mu could not persuade him any further, so she said, "Will it not interfere with your official duties?"

"It's okay. I know what's going on."

"That's fine."

The group walked towards the palace, and when they reached the main hall, they saw a room full of men, women, old and young. When they saw them coming, they all bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Liang Qingchen's expression was indifferent as he motioned for them to get up. Jiang Muyu was not used to such a situation for a moment and was stunned for a moment.

At this time, a young lady in green came forward, took her hand and asked her to sit down, "Fourth sister is back. I haven't seen you for a long time. You seem to have lost a lot of weight."

Jiang Muyu touched his face and said, "Thank you for your concern, sister-in-law. Maybe it's because the weather has been getting hotter these days that I don't have much appetite."

A young woman in purple clothes came over and said, "It's a little hot at the beginning of the dog days. I just asked the kitchen to make some mung bean soup. I'm cooling it down with ice cubes. Fourth sister, come and try it later."

Jiang Muyu nodded and said, "Third sister-in-law is thoughtful."

Her eldest sister-in-law, Mrs. Dong, and her third sister-in-law, Mrs. Lin, were both the wives of her biological brother. Mrs. Dong was the daughter of the second-rank president of the Hanlin Academy, and was a perfect match for her eldest brother, Jiang Chenyi.

Lin's family background was not so good. She was the daughter of a sixth-rank director of the Imperial College. However, she and the third brother Jiang Chen'an were in love with each other, and she was of good character and appearance, so Mu had no objection at first.

Among the four children of the Mu family, only Jiang Chenyan is still unmarried. He is now over seventeen, which is the right age for him to get married. However, Jiang Chenyan is lively and fluent in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but he is away from home all day long. He is unwilling to even look at the women that are found for him, which makes Mu very anxious.

Just as he was talking, a man walked in from outside. He was dressed in white clothes as white as snow, had bright eyes and white teeth, lips as red as cherry blossoms, and held a painted bamboo folding fan in his hand. He looked very free and elegant.

It was Jiang Chenyan.

"Fourth sister is back."

"Yeah." Jiang Muyu responded subconsciously. But her heart was bleeding - they were indeed characters in the novel. They looked so good that they could be called the works of Nuwa showing off her skills. She hated that she didn't read a female-dominated novel before going to bed!

Seeing Jiang Chenyan, Tangtang immediately ran over and hugged his legs, saying in a baby voice, "Sixth Uncle, hold me."

Jiang Chenyan casually put the fan into his waistband, bent over and picked up the baby, and said jokingly: "Tangtang, do you miss your uncle?"

"think."

"Then candy, can you kiss your uncle?"

Tangtang hugged his neck and pecked him on the face.

Mrs. Dong said, "This girl is the most attached to Uncle Six."

Lin joked, "Sixth brother is the best son born in our family. This little girl has known how to judge people and things since she was young."

Everyone is happy.

Tangtang is the only girl among all the young people in the Marquis of Jing'an's mansion. All the others gave birth to boys, so the whole family loves them especially well.

Jiang Muyu looked at this scene and couldn't help but sigh. The original owner had a very unsuccessful life. She had a good family background, married into a rich family, was loved by her husband, and had two children. However, she played a good hand of cards very badly. In the end, she was not only deserted by her relatives, but also ended up in a miserable end.

Liang Qingchen noticed her sudden depression, so he held her hand and asked, "What's wrong?"

She naturally didn't dare to say what she was thinking, so she just shook her head and said, "Nothing."

How could Liang Qingchen not notice that her eyes were all on Tangtang just now? Even if she didn't say it, he could probably guess that she felt a little disappointed.

He patted the back of her hand soothingly and said, "Tangtang is still young, you should spend more time with her in the future."

Jiang Muyu looked at him in surprise and thought: This man is quite considerate.

Liang Qingchen still had official business to attend to, so he couldn't stay for long. While Tangtang's attention was diverted by Jiang Chenyan, he secretly gave a look to Mu and Jiang Muyu, and after getting the signal, he slipped away.

They chatted for a long time. Mrs. Dong and Mrs. Lin were now in charge of the feeding business, and as they had many things to do, they left first. Tangtang was tired from playing and was taken away to take a nap. Only Mrs. Mu and Jiang Muyu were left in the hall.

The three of them moved to the east courtyard where Madam Mu lived and sat down. The maid served tea and Nanny Wang beside Madam Mu came in and said, "Madam Feng is waiting outside with Miss Eight."

Mu waved his hands and said, "Let them in."

Then, a charming woman came in with a little girl. Although the woman was already 35 years old, she was well-maintained and still had a charming demeanor, which showed how beautiful she was when she was young.

The little girl next to her was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a very pretty face, skin as white as cream, eyebrows and eyes as picturesque, and she already had some charm.

This woman was Marquis Jing'an's concubine, Aunt Feng. She had a son and a daughter. The eldest son got married the year before last. Although he was a concubine's son, Marquis Jing'an never treated him harshly. He married the second daughter of Lord Wei, the fifth-rank official in the capital.

Aunt Feng came in and bowed to Jiang Muyu first, then bowed to Madam Mu and said, "Sorry to bother you, Madam."

Madam Mu motioned for her to take a seat and said, "I know why you are here. Sister Xue is indeed old enough. I will ask Zhao Zhao to help me look at her."

"Thank you for your concern, Madam, but... I have one more thing..." Aunt Feng said as she looked up at Jiang Muyu.

What else did Jiang Muyu not understand at this time? Jiang Muxue had already passed the age of marriage and had never found a suitable husband. In the book, although her eighth sister was born out of wedlock, she was a woman with high aspirations. Relying on her outstanding appearance, she was determined to marry into a wealthy family, so she came to her, the Princess Rui, for help.

Jiang Muyu had a calm expression on her face. She put down the tea she had just taken a sip of and asked knowingly, "Madam Feng, do you have anything to ask me?"

Aunt Feng said, "Xue'er has reached the age of marriage, but she still hasn't found a good match. Princess, you are well-informed, so I was wondering if you could take Xue'er out to see the world more often, so that she can meet someone."

"Oh? Aunt Feng, what do you want me to do?"

"I was thinking... could Xue'er stay at the palace for a while? That way, if there are any banquets, Princess, you can bring Xue'er with you."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Mu frowned, obviously disagreeing. She was about to speak when she heard Jiang Muyu say, "Since Aunt Feng has spoken, and we are a family, I will do my best." As she spoke, she waved to Jiang Muxue.

Jiang Muxue understood, walked forward, lowered her head slightly, and called out in a coquettish voice, "Fourth sister."

This voice... gave her goosebumps all over her back. But she didn't dare show it on her face, and smiled faintly, "I haven't seen you for a long time, and Eighth Sister has become more beautiful."

Jiang Muxue said shyly, "Thank you, Fourth Sister."

Mu looked at him, wanting to say something but stopping himself, and in the end, he said nothing.
