When Tang Muyan heard the noise, she got up from the bed, walked to the door, stopped at the edge of the door, and quietly eavesdropped on the conversation below.
She pursed her lips. It turned out that the old lady hated her so much.
“You should know that our Lu family has no obligation to provide you with a home and raise your daughter.”
The old lady spoke harshly, her expression was serious, and her voice was very authoritative.
She was completely merciless towards Anzhi's parents, and her sour expression was embarrassing.
Father An's face was blown down. He hugged his shoulders and spoke without losing his backbone. "Madam Lu, what do you mean by this? Do you think our Xiaoyan and Xiaozheng are staying at your house and won't leave?"
The old lady snorted and said unceremoniously, "Isn't it? Let's not talk about anything else, just talk about your daughter, who comes to our Lu family three times a day and sneaks into our Huai Chen's room. What a little girl, do you know how to be ashamed?"
At that time, Tang Muyan was only ten years old, and the old lady of the Lu family said such humiliating words to Tang Muyan.
Father An was so angry that he stood up from the sofa. He pointed at Mrs. Lu and said angrily, "You...don't you know that Xiaoyan is only ten years old and you are over fifty years old? Don't you feel ashamed to say this to a little girl?"
The old lady of the Lu family was a little too much when she spoke, and the butler Yu beside her couldn't stand it anymore. He whispered to the old lady Lu, "Old lady, An Zhi is your benefactor after all, it's really inappropriate for you to speak like this."
The old lady turned around and glanced at Housekeeper Yu. "It's not your turn to say what I am like. I am the head of the Lu family now. I don't know who dares to disobey me."
Butler Yu was the person that Old Master Lu trusted the most during his lifetime, and he was also considered the person who had helped the Lu family get to where it is today. However, the old lady's words today were undoubtedly a slap in his face, which made Butler Yu feel disheartened.
After talking about Housekeeper Yu, she turned her attention to the An family, "Don't think that your An Zhi can go to heaven just because she saved the Lu family's daughter-in-law. I think your An and Tang families just want that little girl to seduce our Huai Chen so that she can marry into our Lu family smoothly."
In these words, the Tang family and the An family were described as worthless. The implicit meaning of his words was that An Zhi was seeking repayment for a favor in order to have his daughter marry into the Lu family.
The old couple knew that An Zhi had rescued Chen Jing before, and it was they who received Chen Jing, allowing her to rest assured and take care of her pregnancy at the Lu family.
Chen Jing was a miserable child. She came to Fuyang alone with a belly that was several months pregnant.
A few years ago, Chen Jing was a star, but she disappeared after she followed Lu Yucheng.
All news about her disappeared overnight after she met Lu Yucheng.
On the day Chen Jing gave birth, An Zhi happened to be in the hospital for a blood test. Chen Jing suffered heavy bleeding. Fortunately, An Zhi appeared in time and Chen Jing and the child were saved.
Later, even Chen Jing stayed at An's father and mother's home during her confinement. Now the Lu family accuses them of seeking repayment for a favor, which is really unfair.
When the An family rescued Chen Jing again, they didn't know that she was pregnant with the Lu family's child.
Even if they knew, the Lu family still owed the An family a favor.
If it weren't for An Zhi, Lu Huaichen might have lost his life in that difficult childbirth accident.
Father An was so angry at this unreasonable old lady that he was shaking all over. Mother An was also very angry, but she was more concerned about the old man's health and kept touching his back to comfort him.
"We in the An family never expect anything from your Lu family. We are helping Xiao Jing, the child. We don't want anything from your Lu family."
The old lady snorted disdainfully, "What's the point? Your little granddaughter eats and lives in my house, why don't you say anything?"
The old lady is very petty and remembers everything.
It seems that Chen Jing has made me very upset these years, and I take it all out on An's father and mother.
The old lady added fuel to the fire and continued, "I think it was your daughter who asked your little Yan to seduce our Huai Chen."
An's father was so angry that he said, "Our An Zhi is already dead, can't you be more polite?"
Tang Muyan hid behind the door, tears streaming down her face. She couldn't let her mother suffer from this kind of fabrication and false accusation.
She ran out from behind the door, and she slammed the door with too much force, causing it to make a loud noise. Everyone below looked in the direction of Tang Muyan.
She ran down with her little body at the speed of a rocket. Children also have dignity. It was impossible for her to remain indifferent after hearing what Old Lady Lu said.
She didn't want to seduce Ah Chen, and her mother didn't want any benefits from the Lu family.
But what would it matter if she went down? Her voice was so hoarse that she had difficulty saying a word.
In the living room, the old lady looked at Tang Muyan coming down, her eyes full of disdain and sarcasm.
The daughter of the Tang family was the one she looked down upon the most and she was not qualified to be the young lady of the Lu family.
Xiao Muyan stood straight in front of the old lady. She wanted to refute, but couldn't make a sound.
She opened her lips and spoke in a staccato voice, "I—"
No sound could be made anymore.
The old lady was upset and pointed at An's parents and said, "Take your precious granddaughter away quickly and don't let her hang around in front of me. Seeing her gives me a headache."
The old lady immediately pretended to have a headache, covered her head with her hands, and cried out in pain.
Father An pulled over the crying Tang Muyan, with a kind smile on his face, and said, "Yanyan, go home with grandpa."
Tang Muyan nodded almost without hesitation. She could no longer stay in a place that slandered her mother.
Tang Muyan left.
Ten minutes later, Lu Huaichen went upstairs carrying a bowl of fragrant egg fried rice, but the little girl was nowhere to be seen in the room.
He asked Butler Yu, "Uncle Yu, have you seen Yanyan?"
The old lady had long left the living room. Lu Huaichen passed by the living room in a hurry just now and did not notice who was talking to the old lady.
Housekeeper Yu glanced in the direction of the old lady's room with an embarrassed look on his face, and shook his head helplessly, "Master, you should go ask the old lady, she will tell you."
Butler Yu always remembered Mr. Lu’s instructions before his death, which was to take good care of the old lady and not let her suffer any grievances.
But the older people get, the more severe the suffering becomes.
Lu Huaichen was a smart boy. He knew that the old lady didn't like Tang Muyan. When Tang Muyan came, he tried his best not to tell the old lady.
But even if she knew, the old lady would not do anything to Tang Muyan.
What happened today?
Lu Huaichen put down the fried rice in his hand and looked at the unhappy expression on Butler Yu's face.
He had a bad feeling in his heart. Was something going to happen to his Yanyan?
