Time slowly passed, and in the blink of an eye, the day of the Buddha ceremony arrived. This had always been a tradition of the Prime Minister's Estate, and it had received a lot of attention. The sun had just risen and the room had already been filled with people.

"Little... "Miss?" Just as the Blue Luan opened Mu Qiushan's door, it saw that she was already dressed neatly. She stood by the window and looked at the flowers and plants in the courtyard in a daze. "Why have you woken up so early today?"

Her snow-white dress outlined her slender figure, while her waterfall like black hair was simply tied up behind her head. The wind blew in the morning, causing his clothes to flutter and his hair to flutter.

Mu Yu Ting's gaze was slightly cold, and the corner of her mouth had a faint smile mixed with a bit of bitterness.

When the Blue Luan saw this, it could not help but be stunned. Suddenly, it felt that the young lady in front of it was a little unfamiliar. In the past, even though Mu Yu Ting's personality was cold, she never revealed such an expression, causing her heart to ache for an unknown reason.

Hearing the Blue Luan's voice, the look in Mu Qianyu's eyes quickly disappeared, returning to its usual state. The corner of her mouth hooked up into a smile as she glanced at the Blue Luan. "What? Is it strange that I woke up early?"

When the Blue Luan heard Mu Qiuting's voice, it immediately recovered from its shock and hurriedly shook its head, "No, no. I just feel that the journey will be very long, bumpy and boring. Miss should rest for a while more."

"Is the journey boring?" Mu Yu Ting muttered, while a cold smile flashed across her face. With Jiang Chen and Bi Bi, this trip would not be peaceful.

After a simple breakfast, Mu Yuting stood at the entrance of the courtyard for the night. Not long later, a middle-aged woman with a dignified appearance walked out, accompanied by a maidservant.

"Mother." When Mu Yu Ting saw the woman, her eyes immediately lit up and she quickly walked towards her.

Actually, Yu Qingye had already seen Mu Yuting the moment he stepped out of the courtyard. His usually cold face revealed a surprised expression. He didn't expect that his daughter, whom he rarely interacted with, would be waiting for him here today.

"Qiao Ting, why aren't you coming in?" Yu Qingwan lowered her head and looked at Mu Qiusheng, who was standing beside her. She slightly frowned. "The early morning air is cold. Stand here and be careful of catching a cold."

"Daughter has not seen mother for a while and wants to give mother a surprise." When Mu Yu Ting heard the concern expressed in Qing Ye's words, she felt her heart warm up. The smile on her face was innocent and brilliant, carrying with it a sense of being a spoiled child.

Yu Qingye looked at Mu Qiusheng's daughter's posture, and the amazement in his heart gradually disappeared, to be replaced by joy. However, the usually cold Mu Ru Yue didn't reveal her feelings to the public. She only stretched out her hand to caress Mu Ru Yue's head.

Feeling the warmth from Qing Ye's palm, Mu Qiushan only felt that there was something that touched the softest spot in her heart. A sour feeling accompanied with an apologetic feeling engulfed her entire body.

The mother and daughter duo had just reached the entrance of the mansion. Just as they were about to board the carriage with the help of a servant, they heard a gentle voice say, "Sister Mu, please wait!"

"Miss, it's Miss Jiang." When the Blue Luan saw the figure of Jiang Chen Bi Bi, it frowned slightly.

Wasn't this Miss Jiang too shameless? Not long ago, the Miss had said that she wouldn't go, that she needed to take good care of her body. Yet, she came here today.

Mu Yu Ting laughed coldly in her heart, but she concealed it extremely well on the surface. A trace of surprise flashed in her eyes as she turned around to look at Jiang Chen. "Why is little sister here?"

She glanced at Jiang Chen Bi Bi's clothing and saw her beautiful attire. She snorted in her heart.

"Elder sister, I want to go with you to the Buddha." Jiang Chen had a pleading expression on his face. Looking at her pitiful appearance, it was as if Mu Qiushan had committed a crime by refusing her.

The ridicule in Mu Yu Ting's eyes became even stronger, but because she hid it well, she was not discovered by Jiang Chen, "Previously, when I asked my sister, didn't she say that her body is too weak to endure? Why did you change your mind now? "

Jiang Chenbi didn't feel awkward at all, she was still smiling sweetly, "My sister's health has been improving day by day. I want to go with my sister to burn incense in the temple, maybe I'll be able to recover faster with the Buddha's blessing."

The corner of her mouth raised into a faint smile, "It seems like it was the treatment I did for my sister not too long ago. From now on, my sister will come here every day to help my sister recover even faster."

Jiang Chen recalled the scene of Mu Lutang whipping her with a soft whip. It was as if she once again felt the pain of her skin being ripped apart. She couldn't help but shiver, "Thank you elder sister for your good intentions, but little sister is a bit unable to bear it."

When Jiang Chen saw that he had been led away by Mu Ru Ting for a long time, he had already changed the topic. A trace of hatred flashed past Jiang Chen's eyes as he tried to change the topic to the one she was here for, "Then did elder sister agree to accompany me?"

"Since sister has asked, it's not good for sister to refuse."

"But —" Before Jiang Chen could finish rejoicing in her heart, he heard Mu Yu Ting's words, "I'm afraid I can't agree to little sister's request."

Jiang Chen asked, "Big sister, what do you mean by that?"

Mu Yu Ting frowned. Her gaze swept over Jiang Chen Bi Bi, then she shook her head, "What if Buddha misunderstands my sister's sincerity when my sister goes to Buddha in such a bright and colorful outfit?"

"Be careful, though, that Lord Buddha might not recognize his little sister. Is she here to pay respects to the Buddha, or to go on an outing?" Mu Yu Ting made an expression as if she were only thinking for her sake, "The former is fine, but if Buddha thinks that little sister is here to attract admirers, wouldn't that be even worse?"

Jiang Chen's words rendered Jiang Chen Bi speechless. Her face alternated between green and purple, looking extremely rich. It was as if all kinds of pigments had been overturned.

Mu Yu Ting's words weren't softly spoken, and they were clearly heard by the surrounding people. When Jiang Chen heard the laughter and whispers in her ears, he felt even more embarrassed. However, he could only suppress his anger in his heart.

"Thank you for your advice, sister. I will go and change now."

Looking at Jiang Chen's fleeing figure, the smile on Mu Qiushan's lips was tinged with a hint of chilliness, "Blue Luan, tell the coachman that time is of the essence, we should get up immediately."

When Mu Yu Ting and Dong Ping appeared at the entrance of the Prime Minister's Estate again, the carriage train had long since disappeared.

Some of the people who had been watching the scene at the door had yet to disperse. Seeing how Jiang Chen was in such a sorry state, they couldn't help but point their fingers at him again.

Jiang Chenbi could feel the ridicule from others. Biting her lower lip so hard that it turned white, so she could only send for Dong Ping to call a carriage to get on with Mu Yu Ting's team.

Looking at Mu Yu Ting's carriage, the viciousness in Jiang Chen's eyes was even more apparent. He flashed a mocking smile and said, "Mu Yu Ting, I want to see how you'll be proud of yourself later!"
