Chapter 144 The Past



It turned out that Mu Qianjiao had been weak and sickly since childhood. Old Doctor Mu had used many medicinal foods, but there was no obvious effect. Fang heard that people were being raised on Wanfu Mountain, so he sent him to the mountain to be raised.

Wanfu Mountain is located at the junction of Daning and Tiansheng. It has beautiful mountains and rivers and is said to have been home to immortals.

In the third year of Mu Qianxue's visit to Wanfu Mountain, she met Queen Dowager Daning passing by Wanfu Mountain, but encountered extremely bad weather, with thunder, heavy rain and floods. Mu Qianxue saved Queen Dowager Daning. Queen Dowager Daning had 7 sons but no daughters in her life. When she saw Mu Qianxue, she liked her very much and recognized her as her goddaughter.

After returning to Daning, the Queen Mother of Daning would give Mu Qianxue a lot of gold, silver and jewelry every year, but she never liked these material things, so she exchanged them for silver to buy food and clothes for the local poor people. When she saw the homeless children, she was moved and built a shelter to provide them with a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

After hearing this, Gu Yunran exclaimed that she was moved by Mu Qianxue's kindness. Mu Qianxue smiled and said, "Actually, I've also been doing good deeds to accumulate virtue. I don't know if it's because Wanfu is truly a beautiful place that's very nurturing, or if it's because my kindness has been blessed by heaven, but my health has really improved."

As she spoke, she stood up and turned around, "Second sister-in-law, come and see if Xue'er is healthy."

Gu Yunran drank the last mouthful of porridge and nodded: "Indeed, you are very beautiful. When I first saw you, it was like seeing a fairy."

Mu Qianxue smiled sweetly: "Second sister-in-law, you are too kind."

"where."

At this time, the cat ran over with a meow. Mu Qianxue thought the fat cat was very cute. She squatted down and wanted to reach out to hug it. Unexpectedly, the cat cried "Ah Wu", squeaked and grinned, and made a gesture to pounce on her. Mu Qianxue was startled and took a step back.

"Little meow." Gu Yunran immediately stood up and walked to the cat's side. He squatted down and held it in his arms, gently stroking its head. He smiled apologetically at Mu Qianxue and said, "It's shy."

Mu Qianxue shook her head: "Nothing."

"Second sister-in-law, Xue'er still has to go play chess with grandma. Xue'er will take her leave first."

"Okay." Gu Yunran asked Zhuye to go into the house and bring out a jade hairpin. Gu Yunran gave the hairpin to Mu Qianxue and said with a smile, "This is a meeting gift. I didn't have time to give it to you yesterday, so I'll give it to you today."

"Thank you, second sister-in-law."

Mu Qianxue took the jade hairpin, put it on her hair, and said a few polite words to Gu Yunran before walking out.

As soon as they left the courtyard of Biyun Pavilion, the male guard followed them and whispered, "Miss, that cat is so annoying. I'll find a chance..."

He made a gesture of wiping his neck.

Mu Qianxue glared at him and said, "If you dare to cause trouble under my second brother's nose, I will skin you alive."

The male guard lowered his head, looking obedient: "I dare not!"

Mu Qianxue walked away, and Gu Yunran sat in the yard holding the cat to bask in the sun. "Meow, meow, meow," it meowed. Gu Yunran let it go, and it jumped onto the table and ate up the hyssop porridge that Mu Qianxue had not finished just now in one go.

"Do you like this?" Gu Yunran held it in his arms and stroked its fur, then instructed Zhuye, "Tell the kitchen to make some more nepeta porridge."

"I will do it."

Zhuye hurried to the small kitchen to get some schizonepeta and japonica rice and started working. Half an hour later, the fragrant schizonepeta porridge was ready.

She served a bowl to the cat. Gu Yunran's stomach growled at the aroma, so she ate a bowl herself.

Suddenly thinking of Song Ge'er, Gu Yunran asked, "Is he feeling better?"

As he was speaking, Song Ge'er came running over with something in his arms. As soon as he ran over, he threw himself into Gu Yunran's arms, "Second sister-in-law, Song Ge'er is here to bring you something delicious."

As he spoke, he took out an oil-paper package from his bulging arms, placed it on the table, and opened the oil-paper with his tender and chubby little hands. Gu Yunran saw that it was Li Ji Su Tang again.

"My fourth sister bought this for me. I thought my second sister-in-law's little brother in her belly would like it, so I gave it to him."

As he spoke, Song Ge'er peeled one and put it in Gu Yunran's hand. Gu Yunran took it with a smile and rubbed Song Ge'er's head. "Song Ge'er shouted out, if the second sister-in-law's belly is a boy, then he will be your eldest nephew."

"It's just that he won't eat candy yet."

Song Ge'er grinned, with two teeth missing in the middle, "If the second sister-in-law eats it, then he will eat it."

"Second sister-in-law, please eat quickly."

Song Ge'er lifted Gu Yunran's hand and asked her to eat the candy. Seeing that Gu Yunran really ate the candy, he grinned again. Gu Yunran saw that the scratches on his face had mostly healed, and she felt relieved.

Gu Yunran asked Zhuye to make some snacks for him. When it was almost noon, Mother Mu, who was beside the old lady, came over. She smiled and saluted Gu Yunran.

"Second Madam, the old lady said that the second young lady has returned, and from now on, we will have lunch at the Frost Descent Courtyard."

"good."

Gu Yunran got up and went into the house to change her clothes. Then she came out and followed Mother Mu to the old lady's Frost Courtyard. Mother Mu held Song Ge'er in her arms as if he were her own grandson, kissing his cheek every now and then.

Gu Yunran couldn't help but reach out and touch her belly. She calculated that she would give birth in seven months and she was looking forward to it.

"Grandma." Gu Yunran arrived at Frost Courtyard and found that all the female family members were already there. She first saluted the old lady, and then saluted the first lady Qin and the third lady Wang.

Qin touched her hair and turned her face away proudly, as if she didn't see Gu Yunran. Wang, on the other hand, took Gu Yunran's hand with a casual look and asked her to sit next to her.
