Everyone in the Mu family is a little afraid of Mu Shicang, but Old Master Mu is a stabilizing force. Even the self-centered Mu Chunyu has to put away his claws in front of this big brother.
At this time, Old Master Mu was sitting there, and everyone stood up unconsciously. He raised his drooping eyelids and stayed on everyone's face for a moment, and everyone would lower their head or turn away unconsciously when his gaze fell on their face.
When he looked at Yang Shushu, Yang Shushu was actually a little intimidated by those eyes, but she still stubbornly looked at him, her hands clenched into fists. Mu Chunyu thought that his elder brother was upset because of Yang Shushu's behavior just now, and was about to take the opportunity to complain: "Brother."
But Old Master Mu didn't look at her. He still stared at Yang Shushu and asked the same question he had asked just now: "Just now...what were you laughing at?"
Yang Shushu was stunned for a moment, looking at the old man in confusion. She pondered for a long time with a puzzled look in her mind before she remembered what she had just laughed at. She scratched the side of her neck with her index finger, looking a little embarrassed. "No, I just felt that the atmosphere just now was like Ximen Chuxue and Ye Gucheng's final battle on the top of the Forbidden City..."
"..." The room was filled with silence, but Mu Shicang smiled. His smile was like a plum blossom slowly blooming in the snow, cold yet unusually bright and fragrant.
Yang Shushu looked at his smile, feeling a little puzzled, and thought to herself: What's so funny?
Old Master Mu didn't seem to have expected such an answer. At least at that time, everyone here would have thought that her smile should be filled with some kind of irony or some other meaning, but the result was just -
Old Master Mu lowered his eyelids in silence. Everyone else thought Yang Shushu was lying to him, especially Mu Chunyu. She was the only one sitting down besides Old Master Mu. She stood up again and said, "You little bitch, you're so bold! You still dare to talk nonsense at this time."
Hearing this address, Mu Shicang's smile suddenly froze, and he said, "Auntie, that's my wife."
Old Master Mu's eyelids moved at this time, but he did not look up at his grandson standing beside him. Instead, he glanced at Mu Chunyu: "Chunyu, pay attention to your status and speak with depth."
Mu Chunyu widened her eyes, her face full of disbelief, but when she saw Old Master Mu looking up at her, she swallowed back the words she was about to say and just glared at Yang Shushu fiercely.
Yang Shushu was not surprised that Mu Shicang spoke up for her. After all, everything she had done just now was with his tacit approval. After all, as long as he brought up her parents, she might even learn to bark like a dog.
But it was quite surprising that Old Master Mu did not blame her in public. After all, her words and actions just now were not at all rude.
But no one could guess what Old Master Mu was thinking, and no one dared to guess. He glanced at Chi Ling at this time. Chi Ling was so scared that she lowered her head while holding the child. He glanced at Mu Shilian again. Mu Shilian tried his best to calm himself, but his smile was still extremely stiff.
Finally, he looked at Mu Chunyu and asked, "Why are you here so late?"
Although Mu Chunyu was afraid of her eldest brother, she had always been spoiled. When she heard that Old Master Mu didn't welcome her, she couldn't help but get angry: "This is my home too. Why can't I come back? Besides, I heard there was a fire here. Isn't this because I'm worried about you?"
Yang Shushu didn't know where Mu Chunyu lived, but that didn't stop her from finding flaws in her words to disgust her.
"Grandma, you're so well-informed! You knew about this fire before it was even put out."
Mu Chunyu's breath was stagnant at her question, and his voice suddenly became shrill: "You have no right to speak here."
Yang Shushu was not angry this time. She shut her mouth obediently and watched the show with a smile on her face.
Mu Shicang seemed to be extremely interested in her at this moment, his eyes had become tangible and lingered on her face. She didn't notice it at first, but when she noticed it, she looked towards him and raised her eyebrows, with a rather provocative attitude.
Old Master Mu usually rests regularly, but tonight was an accident. He was a little tired at this moment, and his mood was naturally not very good. He glanced at everyone and said, "The fire is out. Let's leave it at that for tonight. We can talk about it tomorrow morning. Everyone go back."
After the old man spoke, no one dared to speak out even if they had any objections, not to mention that Mu Shilian was hoping that things would remain the same.
After most people had left, only Old Master Mu, Uncle Liang beside him, Mu Shicang, Mu Chunyu and Yang Shushu were left in the living room.
The place where Yang Shushu lived was burned down and now she had nowhere to go, but Mu Chunyu stared at Yang Shushu and seemed unwilling to give up.
But Old Master Mu didn't have the energy to waste time with her: "Why don't you get out?"
Mu Chunyu stood up unwillingly and stared at Yang Shushu: "What about her?"
"Shushu, come and rest with me at grandpa's place tonight, so you don't have to worry." Mu Shicang walked to Yang Shushu's side and naturally put his arm around her shoulders.
Yang Shushu frowned and reflexively tried to shake him off, but she stopped halfway and just turned her face away.
Mu Chunyu saw that it was impossible to get back at him today, so he could only leave with a stern look on his face, and before leaving he glared at Yang Shushu threateningly.
As soon as Mu Chunyu left, Yang Shushu rudely shook off Mu Shicang's hand and said, "I won't disturb the old man's rest."
After saying that, he turned and left.
But Mu Shicang stretched out his hand and pulled him back: "What's the hurry? Grandpa wants to chat with you."
Yang Shushu turned around and looked at him in confusion: Didn’t you just say you were tired and wanted to rest?
"It's better for the old man to go to bed early to stay healthy." As she said this, she looked at Old Master Mu.
Seeing this, I was a little surprised. The old man who looked tired just now now had bright eyes. How could he look like he was tired and wanted to rest?
It seemed like he really had something to say, but what could he say? She met Old Master Mu's eyes, and instinctively wanted to avoid him, but she knew it was useless, so she could only grit her teeth and say, "Old Master, I don't know what you want to say to me?"
Old Master Mu placed his hands on the armrests of the armchair. He sat with his back straight, and his eyes seemed to have penetrating power, as if they could penetrate people's souls. He stared at Yang Shushu for a long time, and when he almost made her flee in panic, he finally spoke.
"Do you know where you went wrong?"
Yang Shushu, who had been a little timid just now, suddenly raised her eyebrows, and a rebellious light flashed in her almond eyes. Just when Mu Shicang and Liang Shu thought she would ask "Where did I go wrong", she nodded: "Indeed, I was wrong."
Old Master Mu was also a little surprised. Judging from her expression just now, she was obviously dissatisfied, but the words she said were contrary to her expression.
The old man's calm face finally showed some doubts. At this time, Yang Shushu did not give the old man a chance to ask questions. She said directly: "I was indeed wrong, but what about others? If you ask me where I went wrong, shouldn't you also ask what others did and whether they were right or wrong?"
