After exiting the courtyard gate, Mu Yurou did not leave immediately. She waited until Wang Yan came out and then suddenly asked.
Why are you asking this?
Actually, Wang Yan wasn't completely brainless. The people who came to Madam Han's house today shocked her. She never expected that Madam Han's family members seemed to be quite extraordinary.
"I'm just a little curious, I have a feeling about their identities..."
"That young master Zhou who just arrived today is even more extraordinary!"
She used to think Zhou Jun was very capable, and must have been like the young master at home. But today, when she saw Young Master Zhou, Zhou Jun addressed him as "Eldest Young Master" with extreme respect.
That attitude was like that of a servant to his master.
Thinking back to how Zhou Jun used to call Zhou Jie "Miss Zhou," Mu Yurou seemed to understand something.
"Are these things important?" Wang Yan smiled indifferently, looking at Mu Yurou's calculating expression. She suddenly stepped forward, moved closer to Mu Yurou, and sneered:
"Or have you already fallen for someone else, and you feel that this Mr. Zhou who came today is better?"
Mu Yurou's expression changed. Seeing this, Wang Yan smiled disdainfully: "You really are..."
How could she not have doubts about the people who came today? But what did it have to do with her? She had her eye on Zhou Jun before, and even if this young master Zhou who came today was more handsome and had a better temperament, what did it have to do with her?
Wang Yan knew in her heart that even Zhou Jun hadn't taken a liking to her, and she didn't fantasize that anyone else would fall in love with her at first sight.
Watching Wang Yan's departing figure, Mu Yurou returned home with a gloomy expression and a heavy heart.
"Why are you back so early today, Rou'er?"
Seeing his daughter return so early, Mr. Mu looked surprised.
"Father, someone from Madam Han's family just arrived!"
Mu Yurou recounted what she had just witnessed, and concluded by saying, "That young master Zhou who just arrived today seems to have an even more extraordinary air about him. I wonder how long he'll stay here?"
Master Mu stroked his beard, his eyes darting around, and finally laughed heartily: "No matter how long he stays here, you should continue to go tomorrow. This Madam Han's identity is extraordinary; perhaps they are from the capital."
Upon hearing the words "capital city," Mu Yurou frowned deeply: "Father, the capital city is much better than here. If they are really from the capital city, why would they come to our Yancheng?"
If it were her, with her home in the capital, she wouldn't have come to this small place.
"What's more, that Madam Han was pregnant and gave birth to her child here!"
"Perhaps there are enemies over there making things inconvenient? Alright, don't overthink it. As for that Madam Han, try your best to befriend her!"
"By the way, Father, I heard that Fatty Liu has been targeting Madam Han's shop lately!"
When Liu Pangzi was mentioned, Master Mu's expression became much more serious: "Don't get involved in this matter, don't be the one to stick your neck out!"
"Fatty Liu is an extremely shrewd person. Her relationship with the county magistrate is now even closer. From now on, our Yancheng will be under her absolute control!"
"I want to see if Madam Han can outmaneuver Fatty Liu."
"If we can win, it won't hurt us to be on good terms with Madam Han. If we can't, since the Mu family isn't directly involved, that Fatty Liu can't really do anything about it."
It must be said that this Master Mu was truly shrewd in his calculations. Mu Yurou was his daughter, whom he personally taught, and she completely inherited his cunning.
"I understand, Father. In this way, our Mu family will be invincible forever!"
Master Mu stroked his beard, his face full of agreement.
Mu Yurou lowered her head. There was something she didn't say: she seemed to have seen Madam Han's man.
I only saw his back from afar, but I felt that he was no ordinary person.
The person didn't get off the carriage at the time, but came out after they had been gone for a while. What she didn't understand was, what was the person's identity? Why was he so mysterious?
Perhaps Father is right. Should I go there again tomorrow?
Mu Yurou thought about it for a moment, then shook her head. Mrs. Han's husband had come all this way to see her…
Wait, something's not right!
Mrs. Han has been in labor for over a month. What on earth is that man busy with that he didn't even show up while his wife was giving birth?
Could it be...?
Is Mrs. Han's status beneath public attention?
If the man is from a wealthy family in the capital, it seems not impossible that his family would not acknowledge Madam Han's status.
However, after thinking about it, Mu Yurou felt it was unlikely. Zhou Jun was the cousin of Madam Han's husband, and the fact that her cousin could come and accompany her was enough to demonstrate Madam Han's status.
And Zhou Jie is an even more privileged young lady, including that Mr. Zhou who came today!
This is enough to show that Madam Han is highly valued, which means what?
Mu Yurou was taken aback. Now she was certain that Madam Han's identity was definitely not simple. If she could firmly cling to Madam Han's coattails, it might be of great benefit to her family.
...
Han Luoxue had no idea what Mu Yurou was thinking. With her father and Brother Chen coming over, Han Luoxue was overjoyed.
After the two little ones got to know Ouyang Zhen, they were visibly excited, waving their little hands constantly.
"Zhuangzhuang is really strong."
Han Mingyuan was very fond of it. He didn't know if it was because of the special bond between grandparents and grandchildren. He had never felt this way when he held Han Mengze before.
"Father, I feel like you don't like me anymore!"
Seeing that she was being ignored by her father, Han Mengze pouted.
"You little rascal, how old are you? Didn't you say you're a little man now? You're still jealous of your little nephew!"
Han Mingyuan glanced at his son: "You're the little man of our family. We agreed that you'd protect your two older sisters when you grow up, and that's it..."
Han Mengze blushed at her words: "I, I was just talking nonsense!"
"Hmph, you'll have to take good care of them from now on! Don't forget, you're their uncle."
Han Mengze nodded vigorously. He had been very happy. Today he was just being a little coquettish, but he didn't expect his father to scold him.
"Alright, Brother Yuan, let's not talk about him anymore. He's still just a child!"
Yunniang stopped him with heartache. She stepped forward to hug Han Mengze, but the little guy made a final decision: "I don't want Mommy to hug me. I'm a little man now!"
Everyone in the room laughed at these words.
"Giggle..."
Mengmeng, who had been nestled in Han Mingyuan's arms, smiled happily. When everyone heard her laugh, they joined in the laughter.
"Mengze, look, Mengmeng is laughing at you!"
"Exactly, even your little niece is laughing at you!"
Hearing everyone say that, Han Mengze's face turned even redder. He lowered his head, feeling extremely regretful.
If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have said anything.
Everyone played in the room for a long time. Since Ouyang Zhen had returned today, Xiao Tao took the two children away, and Aunt Xu followed along.
Han Luoxue called out to them, "Just leave them here, it's alright!"
"Oh dear, Xue, you've finally managed to get together, let me take them back!"
