Chapter 189: Visiting! Mutual affection



Yueyue became even happier after hearing this. Madam Cheng and Song Wei also smiled at each other. Madam Cheng had a better impression of the Mu family.

The new adopted daughter of the second branch of the Mu family seems a little different from ordinary girls, but Madam Mu and Miss Mu dote on her very much. It can be seen that the Mu family really treats her as a family member. If a daughter can marry into such a family, there will be no trouble.

"Sister Shu'er, the medicinal recipe you gave me a few days ago always tastes weird when made by the cook. I would like to ask you to try it and see if the method is wrong." Cheng Zhi ordered the kitchen to make it again in the morning and waited for Murong Shu to come and give some guidance.

"Then I'll accompany my sister to the kitchen to take a look?" In someone else's house, Murong Shu first asked Cheng Zhi for her opinion.

Cheng Zhi was very happy to hear that, "Thank you, Sister Shuer. Zhizhi will take you there."

"Mother, Madam Cheng, I'll go to the kitchen with Zhizhi." After paying respects to Madam Cheng and Song Wei, Murong Shu took Yueyue and followed Cheng Zhi to the kitchen.

Madam Cheng was stunned. This Miss Mu was beautiful, had good medical skills, and was easy-going. She couldn't help but praise Song Wei, "Madam Mu really knows how to raise a daughter. I envy her!"

Song Wei was naturally happy when someone praised her daughter, and said with a smile, "Ms. Cheng is also very good, I liked her at first sight."

Madam Cheng immediately understood what Song Wei meant and said with a smile, "My daughter Zhizhi is a soft-hearted girl. She is about to reach the right age to get married, and I worry about her every day. Miss Mu is not like her, who was granted marriage by the Emperor to the Third Young Master Wen. Madam Mu can save a lot of worries now!"

"Has Miss Cheng's marriage been decided?" Song Wei was not gossiping, but she had to ask at the request of her son, even if it was presumptuous.

"Oh, it's not that easy! I'm so worried!" Madam Cheng was really worried. Although the daughter of Cheng family would have no trouble finding a husband, it was difficult to marry someone that both parties were satisfied with and that her daughter also liked!

"Mrs. Cheng, what do you think of my son Yuaner?" Song Wei was not one to beat around the bush, so she asked directly.

Mrs. Cheng didn't react immediately and asked uncertainly, "Who is Yuan'er?"

Song Wei smiled and said, "I didn't make it clear. It's my second son, Mu Siyuan, who is the third child in the Mu family."

Mrs. Cheng understood now. It was just as she had thought. She joked, "Mr. Mu San, who among the noble families in Beijing who has an unmarried girl doesn't want to snatch him as a son-in-law?"

"To be honest, I am very blessed to be recognized by the lady as Yuan'er. I have come to visit you today at the request of my silly son to ask Miss Cheng if she is willing to marry me." Song Wei held Mrs. Cheng's hand with a happy face.

"How could it be so fast!" Mrs. Cheng felt that she was just sleepy and someone handed her a pillow. How could this be such a coincidence?

"Then I feel relieved. Otherwise, if Miss Cheng got engaged, I don't know how to explain to my silly son when I go back. He might cry to me again, and I would be in a difficult situation." Song Wei's joke brought her closer to Mrs. Cheng.

"I feel relieved with what you said, ma'am. I can finally have a good sleep today." Mrs. Cheng was very happy.

"Then let's make it like this for now. Madam, please ask Miss Cheng and Lord Cheng for their opinions later. Everyone in my family is happy. It was a surprise visit today, so we can make an appointment for tea another day!" Song Wei gave the Cheng family time to discuss the matter.

"Well, I will invite Madam to have tea in a few days. Mother often praises Madam in front of me. She is very happy to know that Madam came to your house today and wants to meet Madam."

"That's great. I also want to meet the old lady, but I'm in a hurry and afraid of disturbing her." Originally, Song Wei felt that it was impolite to visit the old lady, but now she was very happy to be invited.

"Then I will accompany you to sit in your mother's yard!" Mrs. Cheng took Song Wei to the old lady's yard.

When she heard that Murong Shu and her granddaughter had gone to the kitchen to instruct her husband on medicinal cuisine, Old Madam Cheng praised Murong Shu to the sky, even to the point where Song Wei felt embarrassed. This old lady was really good at praising people.

They were all smart people. From the information that Mrs. Cheng inadvertently revealed and the years of tacit understanding between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law, Mrs. Cheng understood that the Mu family also had their eyes on their granddaughter.

When Murong Shu and the others came back from the kitchen, the adults had finished discussing what they wanted to discuss. After giving the medicine to the old lady to pass on to Mr. Cheng, the others said goodbye. Mrs. Cheng tried her best to keep them, but they still refused to keep any food for them.

After Murong Shu and others left.

The old lady smiled and asked the eldest daughter-in-law, "Does Madam Mu like Zhizhi?"

"Mother, it was the Third Young Master Mu who took a fancy to our Zhizhi. Today, he specially asked his mother to come to our house to sound us out. Madam Mu has made an appointment with his daughter-in-law to have tea in a few days." Madam Cheng was filled with joy when she said these words.

"I said that our Zhizhi is so cute, and Young Master Mu will definitely like her." The old lady was very happy to hear what her daughter-in-law said.

"Mom, I'll ask my husband later. If he has no objection, I'll invite Madam Mu to have tea in a few days." Madam Cheng was afraid that her husband would not agree, so she decided to ask him before making a decision.

"Then the Third Young Master Mu is the one your father likes. You and I are both satisfied with him. I have also asked Zhizhi for her opinion before, and we are all satisfied. As for Jing'er (Cheng Jing), does it matter whether he agrees or not?" If her stubborn son dares to oppose the person that Old Lady Cheng and Old Master Cheng like, she will beat him with her cane.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were laughing together. Cheng Zhi walked in and saw her grandmother and mother laughing so happily. She asked curiously, "Grandma and mother are laughing so happily, why don't you bring Zhiwei with you? Zhiwei will be angry."

The old lady joked, "Mrs. Mu came today specifically to see Zhizhi. Third Master Mu has taken a fancy to our Zhizhi and is afraid that your mother will marry you to someone else."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Zhi's face suddenly turned red, feeling both embarrassed and surprised. She was embarrassed that her grandmother had said it to her face, but she was surprised that the Third Young Master Mu also had a good impression of her.

"Zhizhi, do you like the third young master Mu? If not, let your mother go back to Madam Mu. Don't delay the third young master Mu!" Old Madam Cheng understood everything when she saw her granddaughter's shy look, and she just wanted to tease the little girl.

"It's my parents' orders...the matchmaker's words. Zhizhi...Zhizhi will listen to my grandmother and mother." After saying this, Cheng Zhi ran away shyly, her face as red as a sunset cloud.

The mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law both laughed when they saw the person running away. Their granddaughter was a woman with her own ideas. She made the decision only because she liked the third young master Mu.

"Now you can rest assured." The old lady smiled and joked with her daughter-in-law.

"Mom is really amazing. She made our Zhizhi admit her loyalty so quickly. This family can't do without her. I'll go to the kitchen to check out the new medicinal food and ask someone to send some to father for lunch." Madam Cheng bowed happily and took her leave.

The old lady looked at her daughter-in-law's back and smiled happily. A harmonious family is the key to success, with a kind mother-in-law and filial daughter-in-law.
