Yang Shushu hadn't walked far when she ran into Mu Jiangfeng, who was still fiddling with his tree. When he saw her, he nodded and turned back to work. But after a few seconds, he seemed to remember something and turned back to Yang Shushu, saying, "Lunch... was delicious, thank you."
Yang Shushu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I should be the one thanking you. Thank you for your appreciation of my cooking."
Mu Jiangfeng nodded again and went about his own business. Yang Shushu looked at his back for a while, then turned and left.
Not long after Yang Shushu left, Mu Shilian appeared not far from Mu Jiangfeng. His face was not looking good, and it was obvious that he was quite irritated by what happened today. "Didn't I tell you to get as close to her as possible?"
Mu Jiangfeng paused, a look of embarrassment on his face: "It's my sister-in-law, it's not convenient."
"I didn't ask you to seduce her into bed, so what's the inconvenience? If you don't approach her, how can you find out why Mu Shicang suddenly insisted on marrying her?"
Mu Jiangfeng remained silent. Mu Shilian took two steps forward, his expression becoming somewhat sinister. "I see that your attitude towards that girl is a little different. If you're interested, why not give it a try? She's just a plaything anyway. Mu Shicang doesn't necessarily like her that much, he's just pretending."
Mu Jiangfeng twitched his eyelids, snipped off a branch with the scissors in his hand, and said lightly, "I don't like it."
Mu Shilian suddenly became angry: "I raised you for nothing, you're just eating for free."
Mu Jiangfeng didn't stop moving, but just tilted the scissors, and the originally round shape of the tree had a cut.
Mu Shilian didn't notice any of this and gave an order in an irritated tone: "I don't care what method you use, just find out what happened to me."
After saying that, they left without noticing that someone on the second floor could see this scene from the window not far away. Although he couldn't hear what they were talking about, from the fact that Yang Shushu walked by and Mu Shilian deliberately waited for her to leave before this happened, he could guess that it must be related to her.
Mu Shicang leaned against the window and looked. Old Master Mu didn't know what he was looking at, so he just asked him, "What do you think about Chi Ling's matter?"
Mu Shicang shrugged. "I don't have any opinion. As a mother, how should I feel about committing suicide in front of her own son? If it weren't for your birthday today, I wouldn't even want to call an ambulance. Death would be cleaner."
Mu Shicang pulled the curtains aside, his lips curled up coldly. Old Master Mu felt helpless, knowing that he still held a grudge against him for burning down Xiao Baifang.
"Shi Yun is so disappointing that she even brought her sister-in-law back to mess around. Your second uncle and his wife never care about it. She probably wants to take revenge on our Mu family by using this method."
"Grandpa, I find that you are becoming more and more like an elder, and you care so much about the younger generation." Mu Shicang did not hide the meaning of his words. The sarcasm was obvious, and Old Master Mu felt even more helpless.
"A Cang, are you blaming me for being so indifferent to that girl?"
Mu Shicang laughed: "No way."
Old Master Mu said, "You know that if you hate someone, you will hate his whole family. Grandpa's feelings are also very complicated."
Mu Shicang tilted his head: "What about now?"
Old Master Mu didn't answer, but asked him: "What about you?"
Mu Shicang laughed again: "I'm not the emperor, I won't do things like punishing nine generations of my family."
The two of them smiled at each other, both understanding each other's meaning, but they couldn't help but worry. Given Yang Shushu's current personality, if she knew the truth -
Mu Shicang didn't think about this for too long. If he didn't want something to happen, he would never let it happen. Instead, he turned to comfort Old Master Mu: "Grandpa, you don't have to worry too much. If you want to commit suicide, you must have the courage of our Shushu. Even if she just wanted to frame me for a divorce, she would have done it to herself. But Chi Ling doesn't have that courage. She chose to do it in front of so many people. Besides revenge, it just means she doesn't have the courage to really commit suicide."
………………
Chi Ling's matter caused quite a stir in the Mu family, but Old Master Mu had banned it, and no one present dared to tell anyone about it. From the moment Chi Ling entered the hospital, the entire process was kept secret, and no one discovered it.
If it is revealed that someone in the Mu family committed suicide again, the outside world will not know how to speculate about the Mu family.
That night, before everyone left, Old Master Mu came downstairs and said, "No matter Shushu's background, she is already the young mistress of the Mu family. From now on, she should be more measured in her words and not say anything without hesitation. The elders should behave like elders, and the younger ones should behave even more so."
For Old Master Mu, this may just be a reminder, but for Yang Shushu, it is equivalent to the recognition of her identity by the head of this big family. Unfortunately, she was not present at the time and could not see the expressions of Mu Chunyu, Mu Shuya and others.
Old Master Mu's words were also a warning, warning those who usually embarrassed Yang Shushu regardless of the occasion to be more restrained in the future. This might cause them to change their attitude towards Yang Shushu, but at least in the Mu family, or in front of outsiders, they would not dare to go too far.
Old Master Mu thought that Yang Shushu would definitely thank him when she knew about this, and maybe she would even make another bowl of noodles when she was happy. However, after hearing this, she just nodded lightly and said, "It should have been done a long time ago."
After hearing what Uncle Liang said, Old Master Mu almost lost his balance while holding the tea set, and threw out his favorite tea set. Fortunately, he managed to keep it steady. He was a little angry, but also a little helpless: "This girl doesn't know how to feel pain at all."
Uncle Liang understood his heart very well: "Master, if she were the same as other girls, you would not acknowledge her until now."
Old Master Mu laughed, and when he raised his eyes, there was a hint of excitement in his eyes: "Lao Liang, did you see the way she stood in front of Ah Cang? She didn't look like a hen protecting her eggs. It was really interesting to watch."
Uncle Liang nodded: "Yes, now Master Cang finally has someone who cares about him."
Old Master Mu sighed: "For the sake of this family, I can't pamper him too much, that would harm him, but seeing my grandson being wronged also hurts me. After all these years, there is finally someone who is willing to stand in front of A Cang to protect him, but this identity... is a bit troublesome."
Uncle Liang advised: "Everything depends on human effort. There will always be a way. Besides, she has no feelings for that side. There is a chance of turning things around."
…………………………
Chi Ling woke up quickly, and the test results of the medicine in her bottle showed that it was pesticide, which Mu Jiangfeng used to kill insects on the flowers, plants and trees he took care of.
Hiding in the ward, Chi Ling's face was pale, but what was even more terrifying than her face was her almost crazy eyes and expression.
Mu Shiyun and Mu Shilian had just come. Their faces weren't very good when they came, and they looked even darker when they left. Someone even heard Mu Shiyun cursing Chi Ling when passing by the ward.
So, when Yang Shushu came over to take a look out of courtesy, this was what she saw of Chi Ling.
"Why? Why is it like this? It's obviously the same, why is it different? Why?" Chi Ling leaned on the bed, clutching the quilt with both hands, muttering to herself with dull eyes, sounding incoherent.
Seeing her appearance, Yang Shushu was a little scared and wanted to go out to call a doctor, but suddenly someone called her name: "Yang Shushu!"
