"Yes." Mu Qianxue said affirmatively, "I know her best."
"Ever since I came back, she felt that her love was taken away by me. It's just that the stupid things she did hurt the hearts of her grandmother and mother. The mistress and mother are waiting for her now."
"If I give her a little warmth at this time, she will be so moved that she will cry bitterly."
"She's at her most vulnerable right now and probably hates everyone. What I gave her wasn't just a snack, but the love she longed for deep in her heart."
Chang Xiao listened to Mu Qianxue's words and was sincerely convinced: "Second Miss, I admire you more and more."
"Heh!" Mu Qianxue snorted coldly, "You?"
Chang Xiao is now under her control. Even if she gives him a bowl of poison, he will drink it without hesitation.
"I'll ask my grandmother for permission to go to Hanshan Temple to worship Buddha and stay there for a while."
"You stay by my side and protect me."
Hearing Mu Qianxue's words, Chang Xiao's expression became extremely excited.
"As you command."
"You go get ready first, I'll go to Grandma."
"yes."
Mu Qianxue went to Madam Mu's yard and knelt down as soon as she entered.
"Grandma, Xue'er is here to apologize for your crime."
Old Madam Mu was sitting in the yard basking in the sun. She was dozing with her eyes closed when she suddenly heard Mu Qianxue's words. She opened her eyes and reached out to pull her up.
"Hurry up, kid, it's cold out here."
"Grandma!" Mu Qianxue shook her head. "Xue'er was wrong. She shouldn't have made that mistake. Grandma, I'm teaching you a lesson. I thought about it seriously last night. I haven't lived up to your expectations."
"It's not as serious as you say." Madam Mu asked her to help him up. "Hurry up and get up. It's not good to hurt your knees in such cold weather."
"Grandma," Mu Qianxue sincerely repented, "Xue'er plans to go to Hanshan Temple to chant sutras and offer sacrifices to Buddha to atone for Xue'er's mistakes."
"Child, it's almost New Year's Day. It must be so hard for you to go to Hanshan Temple in such a cold weather." Old Madam Mu couldn't bear to see her granddaughter suffer in the temple.
"Grandma, Xue'er has made up her mind. She wants to go there and be quiet for a while so that she can repent."
"Forget it." Mrs. Mu gave up trying to persuade her since she couldn't.
"How long will you be gone?"
Mu Qianxue said: "One and a half months."
"A month and a half is so long?" Madam Mu thought for a moment, "A month and a half is almost the New Year."
"Okay then. It's cold in the mountains, so bring some warm clothes and some charcoal."
Mu Qianxue then stood up, sat beside the old lady, and lay in her arms.
"Xue'er knows, thank you grandma for your concern!"
"Grandma has been in poor health recently. Xue'er is going to chant Buddhist scriptures for her, hoping that the Bodhisattva will bless her with health and longevity."
Madam Mu smiled and rubbed Mu Qianxue's head. "My child, I am very happy to have such filial piety from you."
"Then Xue'er will go and prepare it now."
"Go ahead."
Mu Qianxue bowed to the old lady and left.
Mother Mu looked at her cute back and said with a smile, "Second Miss is really thoughtful."
Madam Mu sighed: "This child was sent away at the age of eight and stayed outside for seven years before returning. I don't know how much he suffered outside, and I don't know what he learned outside."
"Oh... sometimes I don't understand this granddaughter either. Maybe I'm just getting old."
Mother Mu frowned: "Old Madam, are you overthinking it?"
Madam Mu waved her hand: "Yes, I'm old, maybe I really think too much."
"Old Madam." Mother Mu paused and said, "You have already handed over the reins of the household. Just enjoy your retirement. You must trust Second Madam. She will definitely manage the household well."
Madam Mu smiled and nodded: "Yes, I'm old now, it's time to enjoy a leisurely life in the days to come."
"Yun Ran is a good child. She will manage the Mu family well."

When Qin learned that Mu Qianxue was going to Hanshan Temple, she was so heartbroken that she kept crying.
"You said that life in the temple is so hard for you, child. Why do you insist on going there to suffer that?"
Mu Qianxue took out a handkerchief and wiped Qin's tears. "Mother, please don't say that. Although life in the temple is a bit hard, I recite scriptures and chant Buddha's name every day to bless Grandma with health and longevity, so I don't feel it's hard anymore."
"You are such a filial child!" Qin held Mu Qianxue's hand, "I'm really sorry to have put you in such a difficult position for your grandmother."
"Mother, it's not difficult!"
At this time, Gu Yunran came out and ordered the servants: "Prepare some thick quilts and cotton clothes for the second young lady."
"Oh, by the way, put the blue and white porcelain tea set in the carriage as well."
"And get some more gold charcoal."
"yes."
Gu Yunran ordered the servants to load boxes and carts of things onto the carriage.
Mu Qianxue came over and bowed to Gu Yunran: "Thank you, second sister-in-law!"
Gu Yunran took Mu Qianxue's hand and said with a smile: "What are you thanking me for? This is what I should do."
"I just don't know if these are enough. If not, I'll have my servants deliver them to you when you get back with your letter."
Mu Qianxue: "That's enough."
"Okay, it's getting late. We're quite a distance from here to Hanshan Temple. Second sister, please leave early. If you leave too late, it will be unsafe to travel at night."
Qin also said: "Yes, Xue'er, let's go early while it's still early."
Qin's eyes were red. Although she was reluctant to let her daughter go, she couldn't stop her because her daughter had already prepared everything and said she was going to pray for her grandmother.
"Okay, mother, second sister-in-law, Xue'er is leaving now."
After saying that, she got into the carriage.
Qin looked at the carriage going away, and her tears could no longer be stopped and flowed down.
Gu Yunran looked at the carriage going further and further away, lowered his eyelids, and didn't know what he was thinking.
When they returned to the courtyard, Ruizhu asked, "Second Madam, why did the Second Young Miss suddenly want to go to Hanshan Temple?"
After a pause, she continued, "I don't believe it. She simply went to pray for the old lady."
Gu Yunran shook her head: "I don't understand what she's trying to do."
"Miss, I'll ask Ningxue to go and investigate."
Gu Yunran's eyes showed worry: "The Chang Xiao beside her is not simple. I'm afraid it will alert the enemy."
Ruizhu leaned close to Gu Yunran's ear and whispered, "Miss, don't worry, Ningxue won't be discovered."
"She is the master's secret guard."
"Oh?" Gu Yunran's eyes showed surprise. She had long seen that Ningxue was not an ordinary person, but she didn't expect that she was actually a secret guard raised by Mu Qianchen.
She nodded and said, "Okay."
"Oh, right." Ruizhu remembered something else and said to Gu Yunran, "Before the Second Miss left, she gave the Fourth Miss a plate of snacks."
Gu Yunran thought for a moment and said, "Go find someone to find a way to get a piece out of that plate of snacks."
Ruizhu nodded and said, "I understand."
Ruizhu went to the stable to find the young veterinarian, who was a little surprised to see Ruizhu.
"Miss Ruizhu, why are you here?"
