Yun Mo has fair skin to begin with, and wearing light green makes her look as delicate and fresh as the pointed new buds that have just emerged from the branches in spring.

It is said that the young lady who just returned is married, but Mrs. Shao San thinks that she doesn't look like a married woman at all. After all, it is better to be young.

After looking at Yun Mo's appearance, Mrs. Shao San couldn't help but feel secretly envious.

Shao Yixuan and Shao Jia were also looking at Yun Mo.

Although Shao Yixuan was deeply resentful of Yun Mo for beating him, he had to admit that this elder sister was really pretty, and even the way she ate was pleasing to the eye.

Compared to Yun Mo's appearance, Shao Jia was more greedy for the sweet soup in Yun Mo's hand.

She had tooth decay and had given up sugar for half a year. She almost drooled when she smelled the fresh fragrance of pear sweet soup in the air.

The mother and her two sons each had their own thoughts. Even Yun Mo, who had a strong character, felt a little uncomfortable being stared at.

She raised her head with a smile, "Have Third Aunt and my brothers and sisters had their sweet soup?"

"I have."

"No."

Mrs. Shao San and Shao Jia answered almost at the same time.

Shao Yixuan stiffened his neck and said nothing, looking arrogant as if he was unwilling to pay attention to Yun Mo.

Seeing Yun Mo looking at him curiously, Shao Jia blushed and explained in a low voice: "I have cavities and I'm trying to quit sugar."

Yun Mo nodded, "Then there's nothing I can do. I'll drink more, and I'll consider it as helping you drink."

Shao Jia was so depressed that she almost cried.

Although Shao Yixuan is simple-minded, he loves his sister Shao Jia very much. When he saw Yun Mo teasing Shao Jia, he immediately glared at Yun Mo.

"Stop bullying Ajia. Come at me if you dare. Let's fight one-on-one!"

Mrs. Shao looked at her son who was as strong as a calf, and then at the frail Yun Mo, thinking that even in terms of physique, her son would not lose. However, she could not ignore her son in front of Mrs. Shao.

"Yixuan, you are a grown man, how can you bully a sister?"

On the surface, he was blaming his son, but in fact he was mocking Yun Mo's behavior of beating her son yesterday.

As an older sister, you actually have the nerve to bully your younger brother.

"Aunt San is worrying too much. My third brother was just joking with me. It's not a case of one bullying the other."

With just two simple sentences, Mrs. Shao San's words were effectively denied. Mrs. Shao couldn't stop smiling on her face.

"Oh, by the way, is Third Brother okay? During the sparring yesterday, I didn't control my strength well and accidentally caused Third Brother to fall. I originally asked Third Brother to go to Mo Garden to check his injury, but he was so sensible that he didn't want to cause me any trouble. He insisted on going back to the West Courtyard. I was thinking about this the whole time last night and fell asleep in the middle of the night, so I got up late this morning."

It was clearly a one-sided beating, but after Yun Mo said that, the nature of the incident immediately changed, and Mrs. Shao San no longer had a reason to attack.

Shao Yixuan was so angry at Yun Mo's confusing words that he was shaking all over. "You, you are talking nonsense! It was obviously you who hit me. You slapped me and threw me to the ground with your shoulder. Shao Ying and my sister saw it with their own eyes..."

Yun Mo interrupted him with a half-smile, "Third brother, second sister and fourth sister were there at the time, so why did I hit you and not them? Think about it carefully, did you say anything bad to annoy me, huh?"

Shao Yixuan opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word.

The reason he was slapped was because he pointed at Yun Mo's nose and called her a beast.

If Mrs. Shao really pursues the matter, he will definitely not end up well.

So much so that over the years, he didn't dare to step into Lan Ju unless it was necessary, and even if he came in, he didn't dare to touch any grass or anything.

As high-spirited as the mother and her two children from the west courtyard were when they came, they were as dejected when they left.

Shao Yixuan couldn't understand why Shao Mo, who was the one who hit others, could be so confident in front of him? "Grandma, I'm the one who caused trouble for you."

Although the fighting power of the mother and her two children in the West Courtyard was really weak, it was still her who caused the trouble and disturbed Mrs. Shao's peace.

Mrs. Shao looked at her granddaughter's beautiful and peaceful face and liked her more and more.

"Momo, you handled it very well. If I were your age, I might not be able to handle things as well as you did."

"Grandma, you're overpraising me. Although I don't have any great abilities, I still have the ability to handle the troubles that I bring upon myself."

Mrs. Shao could naturally see this.

While Yun Mo was drinking the remaining sweet soup, Sister Hua brought out the jewelry box that Mrs. Shao had prepared in advance.

The jewelry box is made of rosewood, with intricate patterns carved on the box body, and the lock and edging are made of brass. It is both simple and exquisite, and it is obviously an antique-level treasure at first glance.

Even though Yun Mo was used to seeing such good things, she couldn't help but take a few more glances at it.

Seeing that she was interested in the box, Mrs. Shao smiled and explained, "This jewelry box was handed down from my great-grandmother to my mother. When I got married, my mother gave it to me as a dowry. It is also an old item that has been passed down for many generations."

"Well, you can tell from the workmanship. It's hard to find such craftsmen nowadays."

Mrs. Shao stood up and placed the jewelry box on the coffee table next to her, then unfastened the lock and opened the box, placing the items in the jewelry box facing her.

"Although we shouldn't be too formal with each other among family members, I still have to show my courtesy since you just came back. At my age, I don't buy new jewelry very often. I spent a long time searching for these pieces of relatively tender colors from my old stuff. You can keep them for now, and I'll buy you a few new ones later."

"Grandma, I can accept the jewelry, but I can't take the jewelry box. This is the dowry that your great-grandma gave you, and it is also your thought."

"Don't think too much. There is only one jewelry box, and it has always been passed down to the eldest daughter. You are the eldest in this generation of the Shao family, so it is legitimate for you to take it."

"But there is still an aunt?"

"I only have your aunt as my daughter. Your great-grandmother gave her a lot of good things before she passed away. She doesn't need this one."

After hearing what Mrs. Shao said, Yun Mo put away the things.

"Thank you, grandma. I will keep it well."

"Why save? If you give it to me, just use it without hesitation. Things are meant to be used."

As she spoke, Mrs. Shao picked up the red agate bracelet from the box and put it on Yunmo's wrist herself.

Yun Mo has a thin wrist. For a bracelet with 30 beads, most girls would wear two circles, but she wore three circles.

"You have white wrists, so this color is perfect for you." Mrs. Shao praised her while holding her wrist.

Yun Mo keenly noticed that Mrs. Shao looked at the string of red agate beads with a look of nostalgia and melancholy.

"Grandma, does this red Nanhong bracelet have any special meaning to you?"

"It's nothing. This is a toy your grandfather gave me before he died. I gave it to you as a token of my appreciation for your grandfather."
