C58 Macrocosm

In the blink of an eye, Mu Taijun's sixtieth birthday had arrived. For this grand day, the Mu Estate had been preparing since a month earlier.

"Miss, we usually arrive an hour before the banquet begins. Isn't it too late for us to press on?" The Blue Luan looked at Mu Qiuting with a puzzled expression. Her brain didn't seem to be in a good state, as she was unable to keep up with her thoughts.

Wasn't Mu Yu Ting afraid that Mu Taijun or Jiang Chen would use this as an excuse to punish her?

Mu Yu Ting smiled but didn't say anything. A bright light flashed in her eyes, showing that she had already planned this move in advance.

By the time they arrived, everyone had already surrounded Mu Taijun to pay their respects. Jiang Chenbi wore a light yellow long skirt and was adorned with countless jewels. Her figure was extremely elegant and dignified, and she was the absolute center of attention within the crowd.

"Grand Monarch, do you like the gift Bi'er prepared for you?" Jiang Chen clapped his hands and two maids carried something into the room.

When everyone saw this, their faces revealed looks of surprise, "This …" Isn't this a painting of a hundred years old? "

"My lords, you are not mistaken. This is the lifespan map that Bi'er personally embroidered for the Emperor's birthday." Seeing that her gift had caused such a sensation, Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel pleased with himself.

"Bi'er, did you really embroider this yourself?" The surprise on Mu Taijun's face was quickly replaced by happiness. Even though she didn't know much about embroidery, she was still able to see through the fine details of the painting.

The fact that Jiang Chen could make this painting her birthday present was a sign of her filial piety.

"Yes, Grand Monarch, Bi'er spent more than half a year for this painting!" Jiang Chen said as he intimately moved closer to Mu Taijun, "This represents how Bi'er feels towards you."

"Hey, if this painting was really embroidered by you, Miss Jiang, then that's really something!" A lady looked at the map, and the amazement in her eyes became denser and denser. "Even I rarely see such a work of art."

This woman was famous for her beauty. In particular, she possessed great attainments in embroidery. She definitely gave him the greatest of praises.

When Mu Taijun heard this, she felt a sense of pride in her heart. She tightened her grip around Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen was secretly delighted in his heart. He raised his head and asked coquettishly, "Do you like Bi'er's present?"

"Of course I like it. As long as it was personally embroidered by Bi'er, I would like it.

Just as everyone was surrounding Jiang Chen and praising him, Mu Qiantang slowly walked in from outside. When she saw the smiling Jiang Chen Bi, her lips couldn't help but curl into a cold smile.

"Elder sister, why did you just arrive?" When Jiang Chen saw Mu Qiantang, a proud look flashed across his eyes.

With such a stunning present from her, no matter what Mu Yuting did, it would all become dark.

If it was according to her plan, then what Mu Yu Ting had given him would also be this map of a hundred years of lifespan. With such a huge contrast, the amount of attention that Mu Yu Ting received became less and less. On the contrary, there might even be sounds of ridicule.

"Qiantang, you're here." Mu Taijun nodded at Mu Qiuting. "Quickly come and take a look at Bi'er's lifespan map."

Mu Yu Ting acted like she was curious and walked over to take a look. Suddenly, her expression became somewhat astonished. When Jiang Chen saw this, ridicule appeared in Jiang Chen's eyes for a moment, waiting for Mu Lutang to make a fool of herself in front of everyone.

"Little sister, you really have a filial piety." Mu Yu Ting turned her head to look at Jiang Chen and smiled. She had a calm expression on her face, without the slightest hint of awkwardness.

"I saw this lifespan map when I was at the Flowing Cloud Pavilion. I had wanted to buy it to give to Grandmother, but I was too shy to do it. I didn't expect my younger sister would actually buy it for Grandmother's birthday."

Once he said that, everyone was shocked. They all looked at Jiang Chen and the originally lively atmosphere immediately turned cold and cheerless.

Jiang Chen thought to himself, this is not good, but he quickly stabilized the panic in his heart, as if he couldn't understand what Mu Yuting was saying, "Elder sister, what are you saying? I personally embroidered this lifespan map myself, so it was not bought from the Floating Cloud Pavilion! "

Hearing that, Mu Yu Ting turned her head and carefully observed the painting for a few more seconds. She shook her head and said with determination: "Little sister, why are you lying? This painting is clearly the same one from the Flowing Cloud Pavilion. I saw it a few times because I liked it, so I naturally won't recognize it wrongly. "

"Qiushan Ting, you can't speak carelessly like that. Are you really sure that this painting was bought from the Flowing Cloud Pavilion?" Mu Taijun frowned, her smiling face becoming serious.

If what Mu Yu Ting said was true, then Jiang Chen was lying in front of everyone. It was one thing if her lie hadn't been exposed, but now that she had been pointed out in public, it was quite embarrassing for her.

Mu Yu Ting nodded, her eyes filled with determination. "I swear that I'm not spouting nonsense."

"Then does elder sister have any proof?" Jiang Chenbi frowned slightly, as if she felt wronged, "Elder sister's words are so firm. It can't be just verbal evidence, right?"

As long as Mu Yu Ting couldn't produce any evidence, she could just bite the bullet and refuse to admit it. As long as she used a few words to lead others to believe that Mu Qiushan was throwing dirty water at her because of jealousy, then everything would be perfectly resolved.

"Of course there are. Every embroidery weave has its own mark and is printed on every work produced by them. We have purposely turned this picture of a hundred years old to see if there is such a mark. "

Mu Yu Ting didn't seem to be flustered. Since she said something like that, it meant that she had complete evidence to prove her point of view. The matter of digging a pit for her was not something she would do.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen heaved a sigh of relief. The pressure in his heart was immediately lifted. She had thought that Mu Yu Ting would come up with some sort of evidence, but it turned out to be just this.

She was no fool. When she had asked the embroidery lady to make it, she had instructed her to not put the Flowing Cloud Pavilion's symbol on it.

Before Jiang Chen could finish rejoicing, the smile on his face froze on the corner of his mouth. His eyes were filled with astonishment, "How is this possible!"

When Mu Taijun saw the mark on the back of the painting, his aura turned cold. The tender affection and gentleness in her eyes when she looked at Jiang Chen was also replaced by anger and disappointment.

"Deep Jade, I didn't expect you to do such a thing. I'm so disappointed!"

"Grandmother, it's your birthday today. You shouldn't get angry." Mu Yu Ting walked up and comforted gently, "What's more, little sister is still young, so she's just a bit distracted by her work."

When the Blue Luan saw Mu Qiushan make a fool of her, it carried a carved wooden case and walked forward.

Mu Yu Ting took the wooden box and handed it over to Mu Taijun. "Grandmother, this is the Longevity Pill that granddaughter prepared for you. I hope you like it."
