Mu Yunshui was afraid that Mu Hanyan, the person involved, would speak out on a whim and ruin his reputation, so he tried his best to be nice to Mu Hanyan.
"Don't worry, Ninth Priest. I'm not a big mouth. I won't tell anyone about how you were defeated by a single blow and how you shamelessly begged for mercy from Zhao Yuanji." Mu Hanyan said sincerely.
She is not the kind of person who can't stop talking, so why should she publicize these things? Besides, as a newcomer, it is not a bad thing to have a Ninth Priest serving her well.
"Uh..." Mu Yunshui looked at Mu Hanyan with his mouth open, and said that you are not a big mouth. You said it out loud and you still say that you are not a big mouth?
Mu Yunshui suddenly felt a strong sense of unease.
"Ninth Lord, I'm new here and I don't know anything. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you these days. But if you're busy, it's okay. I see that Mu Zexian and the others are quite close to me, so I can ask them for help if I have anything. It's just that they are a little too curious and ask a lot of questions. I'm afraid I might accidentally say something that I shouldn't say. But I have people to take care of me, so I won't have the chance to say anything nonsense." Mu Hanyan continued.
"I'm not busy, I'm not busy. Hanyan has just arrived in the capital, and as your elder, I have to take good care of you. Just come to me if you have any problems. What do those juniors know except eating, drinking and having fun?" Mu Yunshui immediately understood what Mu Hanyan meant, and said with a friendly smile.
Mu Hanyan had just returned to the clan family and was not familiar with the capital. She was completely in the dark about everything, so naturally she needed a capable servant.
As the ninth priest of the Mu family, he certainly didn't want to be ordered around by others, but there was nothing he could do. Who could have let him have the upper hand over his affairs?
What kind of person is this? He even feels threatened by his elders! Mu Yunshui gritted his teeth secretly, but his face was smiling like a spring breeze.
As they were talking, the group had already arrived at the backyard.
"The eldest young master is here. The head of the family is waiting for you in the study." An old man in a hemp robe came forward with a kind smile on his face.
"Grandfather, do you know I'm here?" Mu Hanyan asked excitedly. Although the old man was hunched over and dressed very simply, Mu Hanyan didn't dare to look down on him. She saluted as she asked.
Having seen how powerful the old housekeeper beside Zhao Yuanji was, Mu Hanyan knew that these old men beside the heads of various families, although they looked unremarkable and could be blown down by a gust of wind, were actually all masters, and their status in the clan was definitely not low.
"Come with me, the head of the family has been waiting for you for a long time." The old man said with a gentle smile.
"Thank you for your help, old man. May I ask what your name is?" Mu Hanyan followed the old man and walked towards the study.
"You are too polite, young master. Just call me Uncle Yun." The old man said politely.
Leaving Ye Lanxuan and others in the small hall outside the study, the old man pushed open the study door and retreated quietly.
The room was filled with a faint scent of ink. A burly old man stood behind the desk. He looked somewhat similar to Mu Ruian, but more majestic.
But at this moment, the majestic old man showed a gentle smile on his face, and his eyes were full of concern.
"Grandfather, I'm here." Mu Hanyan said softly, with tears in her eyes.
In her previous life, Mu Beichen was the person Mu Hanyan hated the most. Banished to Black Stone City as a child, he endured constant ridicule and neglect. She believed it was all due to her grandfather's coldness and indifference. But after her rebirth, she realized that everything her grandfather did was for her. In reality, he cared for his family like all grandfathers in the world, perhaps even more so.
"It's good that you're here. I'm sorry for having wronged you over the years." Mu Beichen looked at Mu Hanyan lovingly, his voice choked with sobs.
"I don't feel wronged. I know that my grandfather is doing this for my own good." Seeing Mu Beichen's true feelings, Mu Hanyan felt a little sad and her eyes were filled with tears.
She could see that her grandfather had been suppressing his love for her for years. Even after a lifetime of experience and having seen through the world, she still found it difficult to suppress her emotions. Fortunately, she had met his requirements, reaching the level of Sword Master before the age of sixteen and then coming to the capital. Otherwise, he would have continued to suppress his love, just like in her previous life. Until the moment of her death, she would have been unaware of her grandfather's care for her.
For her, this is certainly a great regret in life, and the same is true for her grandfather.
"Silly child, do you dislike an old man like me so much that you start crying as soon as we meet?" Just when Mu Hanyan was about to cry, Mu Beichen laughed heartily.
"No, no, there's sand in my eyes." Mu Hanyan felt embarrassed by what Mu Beichen said. She rubbed her eyes quickly and secretly admitted in her heart: If you hadn't revealed your true feelings as soon as we met, how could I be like this? Now you are making fun of me.
If there was some estrangement between the grandfather and grandson before, because of Mu Beichen's joke, the only little gap disappeared, and it felt like they had been together for many years.
"You arrived in Beijing this morning, right? How do you feel? Are you used to it?" Mu Beichen asked.
"It's okay. It's just a little bigger and more prosperous than Black Stone City, so I don't feel that much of a difference," Mu Hanyan said honestly. Although she hadn't been to the capital in her previous life due to her grandfather's ban, she had been to many other places and didn't feel uncomfortable.
"That's true. Your adaptability is indeed good. As soon as you arrived in the capital, you destroyed Ji Gaoxian's reputation and made a name for yourself as a fortune teller. Then you beat up your own brother, and your reputation as a playboy also spread like wildfire. I guess it won't be long before the number one playboy in Black Stone City becomes the number one playboy in the capital." Mu Beichen laughed.
"Actually, I didn't mean it. What happened with Master Ji was a complete coincidence. Zexian attacked me right away, and I didn't know who he was. Seeing that his attack was too cruel, I had no choice but to fight back." Mu Hanyan smiled bitterly and explained.
She hadn't expected the news to reach her grandfather so quickly. It seemed like she had no choice but to become famous. And, swearing to God, she truly didn't mean to do it. One of the two things was a coincidence, and the other was forced. It was truly unfair. And the number one playboy in Black Stone City becoming the number one playboy in the capital sounded like an upgrade and a more "powerful" person, but Mu Hanyan didn't want that fame at all.
"It's okay, it's okay. These astrologers are self-righteous and deliberately mysterious. It's good for them to learn a lesson. As for the younger generations of the clan like Mu Zexian, they should have suffered a lot long ago. He deserves to meet you this time." Mu Beichen said disapprovingly.
"Grandfather, I fought with my own family as soon as I arrived in the capital. I hope it won't cause you any trouble?" Mu Hanyan said a little worriedly.
