Mu Run stood by the window, watching Fu Yunchen's departing figure.
She heard his conversation with Cai very clearly. Her hearing was now different from before; her abundant spiritual energy allowed her to hear any conversation within a hundred meters.
After entering the hall, Lady Cai said, "Your Majesty, please have some refreshments."
She didn't mention Fu Yunchen as expected. Mu Run asked as well, saying, "Sister Cai, Xiao Hong, I have a question for you."
The two looked at each other, then turned to Mu Run, waiting for her to ask a question.
After thinking for a moment, Mu Run said, "The leaves from the same tea tree, the tea leaves made from them, are the same whether they are the refreshing raw tea or the mellow refined tea that has gone through more than ten processes?"
“Of course it’s different.” Hongmi replied without hesitation, “The price is different too. Raw tea is fifty to one hundred taels, while refined tea is three hundred to five hundred taels, or even one thousand taels.”
Madam Cai looked at Mu Run, not rushing to answer the question, but pondering more deeply why she would ask it, whether it was implying something...
Mu Run looked puzzled and continued to ask Hong Mi, "But they are tea leaves from the same tree, so to put it bluntly, they are from the same source."
“Sister-in-law, that’s not the same. Take Huanhuan, Tuantuan, and Zhuangzhuang, for example. All three children are the eldest brother and sister-in-law’s biological children, but the eldest brother only likes Tuantuan and Huanhuan and dislikes Zhuangzhuang in every way.”
Madam Cai was startled, then tugged at Hongmi forcefully, signaling her to watch her words. Mu Run was currently unaware that Fu Yunchen disliked Zhuangzhuang.
Mu Run's expression changed slightly. He glanced at Cai Shi and pressed down on her with a faint aura. "Let her continue."
Because Mu Run fell into a coma after giving birth, she couldn't take care of Zhuang Zhuang for even a single day. Hong Mi, unable to have children, was incredibly fond of Zhuang Zhuang, sleeping with the little one every day.
When Zhuangzhuang first rolled over, Hongmi was there with her. When Zhuangzhuang first stood up, it was also in front of Hongmi. The first thing she called out was "Aunt Hong," though her pronunciation was unclear back then, and she called her "Gong Dudu"...
Although Zhuangzhuang was the young master Hongmi had to serve, she treated him more like her own child. Therefore, Fu Yunchen's indifference towards this child also caused Hongmi immense heartache.
Now that Mu Run has woken up, it is natural to hope that Mu Run will show more favoritism towards Zhuang Zhuang, to make up for some of the parents' lack of love.
Mu Run learned from Hong Mi about Zhuang Zhuang's experiences over the years, as well as the fact that Fu Yunchen had neglected Zhuang Zhuang.
Redmi is risking its own life to speak out for Zhuangzhuang.
Meanwhile, Madam Cai kept giving her meaningful glances, trying to get her to shut up, but she was unsuccessful.
Mu Run remained silent for a long while.
While Mu Run was distracted, Cai finally dragged Hongmi out and gave her a severe scolding.
“Sister Cai, I just feel indignant on Zhuangzhuang’s behalf. Such a well-behaved and sensible child, why is she being neglected? She’s become so self-conscious that she doesn’t dare to speak in front of people anymore. She’s nothing like Huanhuan and Tuantuan when they were little.”
"Then you're courting death! How can you say something like that so casually?"
“I know my sister-in-law, she won’t punish me.”
“If His Majesty doesn’t hold you accountable, what about the Prime Minister? You’ve been with him since you were a teenager, almost twenty years now. Don’t you know what kind of person he is? He might not punish you immediately out of respect for His Majesty, but once you offend him, or if he gets hold of any weakness, you’ll be in big trouble and suffer.”
