Seeing that he didn't refute, Old Master Mu nodded with relief, and then he said what he had kept in his heart all these years: "Although this method is a bit slow, it is the safest and will not implicate our Mu family. Decades ago, our Mu family was just like them. I spent my whole life getting rid of this rotten flesh, and I don't want to be attached to it again."
Hearing this, Mu Shicang lowered his head: "Grandpa, I'm sorry, I have been willful over the years."
"No, you've done a great job. If it weren't for you in the Mu family, I would have to work myself to death and watch the kingdom I rebuilt slowly decay."
Old Master Mu was extremely disappointed with the other descendants of the Mu family. He placed almost all his hopes on Mu Shicang. Fortunately, he did not let him down.
The two of them then chatted about Yang Shushu's preparations for her parents' birthdays. Old Master Mu burst into laughter and said, "This girl seems to be quite good at celebrating birthdays. She always hits the nail on the head."
Mu Shicang couldn't hide his pride: "She looks fierce and aggressive, but she is very thoughtful."
"Yes, yes, my wife is very thoughtful. Just look at how she celebrates your birthday."
Speaking of this, Mu Shicang was stunned for a moment, and really began to look forward to it.
At this moment, Uncle Liang, who had been standing behind Old Master Mu, saw someone walking towards him from a distance and exclaimed in surprise. The uncle and uncle looked over at the same time and found that it was Mu Jiangfeng.
Although he lived in the pastoral garden, he seldom came except for necessary greetings and official business, let alone coming alone.
Old Master Mu did not have deep feelings for this adopted grandson. After all, he was brought home by his son, and the child was usually quiet and silent. His abilities were neither good nor bad. Compared with Mu Shiyun, he was ordinary.
Seeing him coming alone, Old Master Mu was also a little surprised. Mu Jiangfeng walked over and greeted Old Master Mu first: "Grandpa."
After calling, he went to see Mu Shicang.
Old Master Mu now suddenly understood why he did not dislike this grandson who had no outstanding ability in raising him, usually ignored him, and was the adopted son of his second son, whom he disliked the most. It might be because this child was too good-looking.
Just like now, it was obvious that he had something to do with Mu Shicang, and he didn't even try to beat around the bush.
"I'm tired too. You young people can chat." After saying that, Old Master Mu got up and left.
Mu Shicang also saw that Mu Jiangfeng had something to say to him, and even guessed what he was going to say. He pointed to the bamboo chair next to him and said, "Brother Feng, sit down."
Mu Jiangfeng sat down and said, "Does what you said last time still count? About the Botanical Museum."
Mu Shicang nodded: "Of course, Brother Feng, do you agree?"
As he said this, he smiled. He was sincere about this and had no other intentions.
Mu Jiangfeng might have seen the sincerity in his eyes, and his gaze softened a little. A smile appeared on his usually indifferent face. "Well, I've thought about it for a long time. I'm not suitable for the current situation. I prefer plants."
"Well, if that's the case, you might not have much time left in Jinjing. You need to prepare quickly and hand over your current work. And there might be some trouble with Second Uncle, right?"
Mu Jiangfeng lowered his head, was silent for a while, and said: "I will take care of my father's side, don't worry, it won't involve you, and also..."
He fell silent, as if he didn't know what to say next. Mu Shicang was not in a hurry. He didn't care what would happen to Mu Shilian, but Wu Mu Jiangfeng's attitude was a little strange.
"Brother Feng, if you have anything to say, just say it. You don't have to be polite to your brothers."
Mu Jiangfeng was still pondering for a while before he said, "Someone might be investigating your sister-in-law's affairs recently. You...be careful."
After saying this, he turned around and left in a hurry, as if he was afraid that Mu Shicang would ask more questions.
Mu Shicang stood still. He almost instantly thought of what Mu Shiguo Palace might know. Mu Jiangfeng basically didn't have much in-depth communication with others in the Mu family. After meeting Mu Shilian, he seemed to have always been isolated from the Mu family and didn't consider himself a member of the Mu family at all.
If he knew about this at the Mu family, it should be related to Mu Shilian, but it was not easy to say it directly, so he had to remind him indirectly.
Mu Shicang slowly lowered his eyelids, as if thinking about something. How did Mu Shilian know this?
At this moment, his phone rang. The person on the line said without further ado, "Mr. Mu, Mi Chun has filled all the gaps. There are no problems with the accounts now."
Mu Shicang tapped the back of the phone with his right index finger: "I understand."
After hanging up the phone, he laughed meaningfully: "Such a big hole was filled so quickly, does Shi Xiao have so much money? Haha..."
There is really no one in this family who can be worry-free.
…………………………
Yang Shushu didn't know about the Mu family's affairs. She was concentrating on preparing for her father's birthday. On the day of the birthday, Mu Shicang came in person to send people to the village. At this time, the village was different from what it was more than 20 years ago. The streets had been repaired, the houses were newly renovated, and there were small rivers, green willows and small bridges. Entering the village was like traveling through time and space, and coming to the misty rain of ancient Jiangnan.
Yang's father simply couldn't believe it. His daughter said that to celebrate his birthday, they didn't mean to go to a restaurant for a meal, but to bring him here.
Although the village looked brand new, the overall layout had not changed. The old couple turned two corners and found the place where they had rented before.
But now this place has become different. The wooden door that was so worn out that it almost fell off when touched has been replaced with a new door with the same shape and pattern. The high threshold inside has also been repaired, and the furniture in the house has been replaced with new ones, but the furnishing style has not changed. When they lived there, the table was placed there, and now there is a new table there. The kitchen counter is still in the same old style, and it must have been rebuilt.
In short, this place has become different, but there is a sense of familiarity everywhere.
Yang's father and mother's eyes were red with excitement: "Shushu, this..."
"Dad, this is the place Shushu chose personally. She heard from Mom that you used to live here and she missed the life here very much, so she wanted to give you a surprise." Mu Shicang put his arm around Yang Shushu's shoulders and explained to them.
Father Yang's eyes were still red and he couldn't speak. Mother Yang burst into tears and kept saying, "You silly girl, this is such a waste. Just have a quick meal."
"Because I also want to see the place where you, Mom and Dad, have beautiful memories." She stepped forward, put her arms around her parents' arms on each side, and took them to look around every room. Then she went to the village to watch with great interest. Mu Shicang followed silently behind, watching their backs.
Suddenly, he felt like something that had been missing in his heart was filled. The couple of the Yang family loved Yang Shushu no less than Yang Li, and even treated her with more tenderness because she was a girl.
