Meanwhile, in the private room, Mu Yang had regained some composure and was looking at Qin Qing with a livid face.
"Since you're not dead, why didn't you come back? Do you know how much pain we've been in!"
Qin Qing was speechless. He couldn't very well say that he was poisoned and was afraid of hurting them, so he faked his death and left the Divine Doctor Valley.
Before she could answer, and before she could think of a reply, Qin Zifeng followed up with a gritted-teeth retort.
"And another thing! It's one thing if you don't come back, but why didn't you send a single letter? At least don't make us worry! Heaven knows we almost broke down back then! Grandma, you've gone too far!"
Qin Qing: "......."
She's their grandmother, is it really okay to criticize her like this?
Xiao Muxing was much more considerate, directly standing in front of Qin Qing and glaring at the two of them.
"It's good that Grandma is back! What do you mean by this? As long as Grandma is safe and sound, that's all that matters!"
Qin Qing was deeply moved upon seeing this, and wished she could hug her little granddaughter with tears in her eyes! Her granddaughter was the best; she was well-behaved, considerate, obedient, and adorable.
The next second, Xiao Muxing looked at the two of them with a serious expression.
"We can settle scores later. If we scare Grandma away now, will you be responsible for finding her?"
Qin Qing: "......."
Bah! Forget what she just said! A granddaughter?! She's even more cunning than a grandson! This old lady will be driven mad with anger sooner or later!
As time went on, Qin Qing finally surrendered under the condemning gazes of the others!
"Grandma was wrong! Really! I promise it won't happen again! By the way, I heard A-Yang is taking the imperial examination. How are his preparations going? Grandma came back especially to cheer him on! Go for it! You're the best!"
Actually, she was still a little guilty. Originally, she had only returned because the poison powder on her body couldn't be removed, and she had given up hope. However, while traveling and enjoying the scenery, she encountered some scholars on their way to the capital for the imperial examinations, which reminded her that her eldest grandson, Muyang, was about to take the exams...
So she rushed to the capital without stopping and finally returned to the capital on the last day of registration!
What she didn't expect was that she just wanted to find a place to eat, but she never expected to run into her three beloved grandchildren! She was caught red-handed! And now she's being reprimanded on the spot.
In short, don't be too arrogant, or one day your grandson will come after you!
Now that she had finally managed to appease the three of them temporarily, she suddenly felt a little worried about what would happen when she saw Wang Yan. After all, last time she couldn't get over that hurdle in her heart and didn't look back until Wang Yan left!
When the group left the inn, everyone in the main hall looked on with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty, frequently glancing in their direction.
After a long while, someone finally spoke up.
"Ah, I remember now! That boy... isn't he Mu Yang, a student from Lushan Academy?"
In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to the person who had spoken, and the next second, an uproar broke out.
"So you're all family. No wonder you dared to bet so much silver..."
"Indeed, so there are hidden rich kids in Lushan Academy..."
"In that case, that kid named Mu Yang probably doesn't have much ability. What kind of future can a candidate who can only rely on his family to increase the stakes have!"
"That's right! I'm betting on Ziyu! Twenty taels!"
"I bet on Chen Zilong! Fifty taels!"
“…”
The hall erupted in noise again... people quickly forgot what had just happened, and from beginning to end, only one person placed a bet in Mu Yang's column!
Meanwhile, the four of them went home first. The withered yellow leaves scattered all over the yard added a touch of autumn desolation to this once warm place!
Only two rooms in the backyard had been cleaned up; the other two rooms remained unattended. The kitchen was also covered in dust. Qin Qing looked at the group with a mixture of amusement and exasperation upon seeing this.
"You guys are really hardworking. You only tidy up your own rooms. The kitchen is such a mess. You probably don't cook at home, right?"
Mu Yang and Qin Zifeng's faces immediately showed embarrassment, and they unconsciously looked away, while Xiao Muxing waved her hand, looking helpless...
"That's right! These two are still so lazy even after they came back. If I hadn't taken pity on them and helped them out, they'd probably still be living in a pigsty by now! Aunt Peony is married and not at home, so there's no one to cook for them. They can't cook either, so they have to rely on me. But my cooking isn't very good, so they eat out every day, or they go to Aunt Peony's place for a free meal... I feel so bad for them!"
A string of complaints immediately made Mu Yang's cheeks flush red. After glaring at the girl, he quickly explained.
"That's not true at all! Aunt Peony invited us herself. General Huang has been quite busy. His Majesty is preparing to offer sacrifices to Heaven in a while, and the Ascension Platform is under construction. General Huang has been sent there to supervise the construction and is extremely busy. We just went to keep Aunt Peony company and see the children!"
"And every time, they're the ones chatting while Zifeng and I are busy working! Right, Zifeng!"
Qin Zifeng looked at Mu Xing with a look of utter helplessness.
Qin Qing shook his head upon seeing this.
"Alright, let's clean up together. Grandma will cook for you tonight!"
One sentence instantly drew surprised looks from the three of them. They had all tried their grandmother's cooking before and found it incredibly delicious!
Afterwards, the group worked with incredible energy, as if they were on steroids, cleaning with great enthusiasm...
Time flew by and it was afternoon. Xiao Muxing went to the Huang residence to invite Shaoyao back for dinner, and her whole demeanor was cheerful!
Peony was leading her child to learn to walk, her face full of a loving mother's smile, when she saw her son grinning foolishly in one direction.
Looking up, I saw Xiao Muxing standing at the door, panting, but her face was full of excitement.
"Auntie! Quick, pack up and take your nephew home for dinner!"
Peony looked completely bewildered, after all, Mu Xing couldn't cook, not to mention the two boys in the family who only knew how to study and do business...
Is the food they made even edible?!
While she was still in a daze, Xiao Muxing had already walked over and very skillfully picked up the baby on the ground, showing him great affection!
"So cute! Yiming, have you missed Auntie? Auntie is taking you to see Grandma today! You'll be so happy!"
"Grandma?"
Peony looked at Xiao Muxing with surprise and doubt, not quite understanding her meaning.
Xiao Muxing then realized what was happening, her face beaming with a happy smile.
"Aunt Peony, Grandma isn't dead! She's alive, she's back!"
"bump!"
Before Shaoyao could recover from her surprise and excitement, a loud crash came from the gate, and Huang Zhong fell down, but his face was full of shock!
Deputy General Zhang was also shocked, and then subconsciously looked at a certain man with a stiff face next to him!
