The next day, Yang Shushu was discharged from the hospital, but Mu Shicang did not come to pick her up. Instead, she was picked up by a middle-aged man wearing a suit, shirt, and straight trousers.
Yang Shushu quickly searched her memory for the man's name. A minute later, she turned to the man and called out softly, "Uncle Liang."
The original body didn't know what Uncle Liang's name was, but she knew that he was the housekeeper of the Mu family's main house and was also Old Master Mu's confidant. He was usually responsible for all the big and small matters in the house. According to the original body's memory, it was already good enough for her to have Uncle Liang to pick her up from the hospital with her status.
Uncle Liang is a silent and somewhat cold man. His attitude towards Yang Shushu has been like this from the beginning. He is neither enthusiastic nor cold, just a businesslike manner.
Looking at him, Yang Shushu inexplicably felt that he was like a housekeeper in a large family during the Republic of China era. However, after thinking about it, it made sense. The Mu family had a very conservative style, especially Old Man Mu.
The Mu family used to live in two different worlds from her. She had never heard of them at all. She did look up some information about the Mu family on the Internet in the past few days, but the information was very limited.
All I know is that the Mu family is a family that has been passed down for nearly two hundred years. Generally, even if such a family has some ancestral property, it is already rotten to the core. However, in the generation of Old Master Mu, he abandoned the so-called ancestral heritage of his ancestors. From the moment he inherited the family business, he took decisive action and dug out the cancer at the root of the ancestral business with the fastest, most ruthless and most accurate means, regardless of the opposition of all the clansmen. He almost made the entire Mu family disappear. But after risking death, the Mu family came back to life in his hands, and was reborn in a magnificent manner like a phoenix nirvana.
Today, the Mu family's status in Jinjing is no longer comparable to that of several other old families.
But it is precisely such a man who dares to face new challenges, he actually likes those old things, or he likes ancient rules, antiques, and the ancient matching of family backgrounds. Maybe he still has a sense of superiority of the Mu family in his bones.
Therefore, Yang Shushu, who was not married into the family according to his wishes, was naturally not welcomed. If the old man looked down on her, he could not expect other people to be kind to her. In his memory, Yang Shushu did not have a good life in the Mu family.
Yang Shushu followed Uncle Liang out of the hospital, as if she was about to face a battle, but he had to fight this battle. This was the price she had to pay for being able to come back to life through Yang Shushu's body.
Moreover, she felt that since she was reborn in someone else's body, she should do something for that person. It can be said that the main reason for Yang Shushu's death may be that her first love left her, but the attitude of the Mu family definitely played a certain role.
Just like now, when she sat in Uncle Liang's car and slowly walked into the mansion that looked like an ancient marquis's residence, it took her nearly fifteen minutes just to open the door and walk in. When she got out of the car and walked into the mansion standing in the woods, she saw more than a dozen faces, each face was different, but the expressions on each face were surprisingly consistent.
There are all kinds of people, including ridicule, gloating, and watching the show, but there is not a single kind one.
Yang Shushu searched her memory and found that all these faces matched, but she didn't look at anyone's face. She walked straight to the old man sitting on the armchair in the middle of the main hall on the first floor.
She stepped forward and called out in Yang Shushu's uniquely soft voice, "Grandpa, I'm back."
Old Master Mu just raised his eyes slightly to look at her, then slowly lowered them, as if the blue and white porcelain teacup in front of him was more beautiful than Yang Shushu.
As Old Master Mu's identity, he naturally would not have a hard time with Yang Shushu. He was just dissatisfied that his most satisfied grandson actually disobeyed him on this matter. He couldn't blame the grandson who loved his family the most, so he could only blame another one.
No one is a saint, and everyone judges things from their own standpoint.
Yang Shushu lowered her head for a while, then raised it. When she looked up, she saw the laughter in the room. She didn't mind and said directly, "I'll go back first."
The original body lived in this house as the young lady of the Mu family, but Mu Shicang did not live here. The seemingly glamorous young lady Mu was actually just a decoration placed in the house. In fact, thinking back, Yang Shushu was really curious. Since Mu Shicang didn't like the original body Yang Shushu at all, why did he marry her despite his grandfather's opposition?
This problem has troubled Yang Shushu for a long time, but now she can't find any clues, so she can only take it one step at a time. Anyway, since Mu Shicang doesn't allow her to file for divorce, it's okay for him to file, right?
She turned around and wanted to walk out of the main hall. She recalled the place where she used to live. It was a small villa some distance away from here. Although it was called the main house, its scale could no longer be called a house. It should be a small-scale building complex. Almost all members of the Mu family had residences here, but some lived here for a long time, and some only came back occasionally.
And today, whether intentionally or unintentionally, most people are here. Looking at the ill intentions in those eyes, Yang Shushu wants to say, no wonder the original body wants to run away. Living in such an environment, facing such pairs of eyes every day, even she can't stand it, not to mention the original body's soft personality.
She retracted her gaze, intending to ignore the group of people. However, she wanted to keep things quiet, but someone else didn't. A young girl sitting on the armrest of a sofa at the far end of the living room suddenly sneered, "You've brought shame upon our Mu family, and you still have the nerve to come back? Your face must be made of a city wall."
The girl was not ugly, but her arrogant and mean eyes lowered her overall temperament and appearance. After hearing what she said, Yang Shushu even wanted to laugh. She didn't want to come back. Didn't your old man ask someone to bring her back?
She lowered her head to hide the sarcasm on her lips, and to outsiders she seemed as timid and cowardly as before.
Seeing her like this, Old Master Mu frowned. What he hated most was that his granddaughter-in-law was always timid. As the wife of the heir of the Mu family, this was simply too embarrassing.
Old Master Mu coughed in anger. The group of people who had been like thorns just now immediately turned into caring little cotton-padded jackets and swarmed over. "Dad, what's wrong with you? Are you okay? Do you want to call the family doctor?"
"Grandpa, Grandpa, are you okay? Come quickly, pour Grandpa a glass of water."
What's more, some people blamed everything on Yang Shushu, the girl who just said she was thick-skinned: "Yang Shushu, look at how mad you made grandpa? You're such a jinx."
Yang Shushu was standing not far from Old Master Mu. Everyone crowded over and pushed her aside, almost causing her to fall to the ground. When the girl said this, she had just stabilized herself, and with one hand on the armrest of the sofa next to her, she looked up at the girl.
This look was not sharp, but it was too direct and bright, which made the domineering girl stunned. When she came to her senses, Yang Shushu had already turned around and walked out.
But when she reached the door of the living room, someone suddenly called her out in a stern voice: "Stop."
