As the night deepened, Mu Qiantang reclined on her bed and watched the sunset outside her window as it slowly swallowed up the darkness.
It was already late autumn. Waves of chilly evening wind blew across her face, stirring her hair. Mu Qiuting was only wearing a thin, medium garment with a cloak covering the entire body. She appeared to be thin and thin.
When the Blue Luan saw Mu Xuanyin acting like this, it was secretly anxious in its heart. However, there was nothing it could do. After all, she had been trying so hard to persuade her for almost an hour.
"Blue Luan, how did you serve? As your personal servant, you actually let your young miss wear such thin clothes. " Suddenly, a dignified voice exploded from behind the two of them, causing the Blue Luan to tremble in fear.
"Grand Monarch!" The Blue Luan's face turned white. In her heart, Mu Taijun had always been a vicious person. The scene of her punishing Mu Qiushan was something that she could not forget for a long time.
Mu Yu Ting couldn't help but be slightly startled when she heard Mu Taijun's voice. A trace of astonishment flashed across her eyes. She was about to get off the bed to bow, but was stopped by Mu Taijun.
"Grandmother, no matter what happened to the Blue Luan, she had already advised her granddaughter to do her part. It was granddaughter's fault for not listening to her advice, so you can't blame her."
"Forget it, forget it. Seeing that you're a patient today, I'll give you face and spare her." Mu Taijun gave a cold snort and sat on the edge of the bed. Then, she slowly turned her gaze away from the Blue Luan.
The Blue Luan only felt as if the pressure that was pressing down on its body had been reduced by a mountain, and its heart instantly relaxed as cold sweat covered its back.
"Grandmother, why have you come here? Could it be that the birthday banquet in the main hall has ended?"
As the host of this banquet, Mu Taijun was the center of attention. If the family banquet continued, she would never be able to leave.
"En, the birthday feast is almost over. All that's left is to send the families of the various families back. As for the rest, leave it to your mother."
Mu Taijun looked at Mu Yu Ting carefully. There was a trace of tender love in her eyes, as if she was an elder showing care for a junior.
Mu Yu Ting rarely received such a gaze from Mu Taijun, so she was slightly startled. She turned her head away, not daring to meet his gaze.
"Hmm, his complexion is much better now." After a long while, Mu Taijun nodded. She sounded relieved. "You've recovered from the shock, but you still have to take care of it. How can you wear such thin clothes?"
Although Mu Taijun's voice was still stern, Mu Qiushan could hear the care in her tone. Her heart warmed, "Thank you Grandmother for your concern. Your granddaughter will definitely pay attention to it next time."
"Mm, you've suffered a lot this time, so you should take good care of your health and not fall sick at such a young age." As Mu Taijun spoke, she looked at the night jade behind her. The night jade had understood her orders and stepped forward.
It was only then that Mu Yu Ting saw the box in her hand. The square box was not big, but it had three or four levels.
"These are the dishes that I ordered the kitchen to cook for you. I don't know if these dishes suit your taste." Mu Taijun nodded her head and told Night Jade to give the food to the Blue Luan. "However, these are all top grade nourishing dishes. It won't do any harm to eat them."
Mu Qiuting looked at the small box, her heart suddenly filled with a strange feeling. She didn't know what was holding her back, but she felt a sharp pain that made her feel as if she was about to suffocate.
Her relationship with Mu Taijun had improved since the last time, but she no longer seemed like an enemy. But because of Jiang Chen's interference, there was no further progress.
He didn't expect that he would gain fortune from today's misfortune and receive such concern from Mu Taijun.
When she had treated the emperor before, she had been 50% sincere and 50% scheming. After all, only by obtaining the emperor's good impression would she be able to stabilize her position in the family.
However, she did not expect that when the Grand Emperor began to treat her with care and concern for her, her heart would be filled with guilt.
At this moment, her eyes became slightly moist. Mu Qiuting only felt her nose sour and felt somewhat uncomfortable.
"Thank you, Grand Preceptor. Thank you for being so kind to Qiantang …" Mu Yu Ting's voice was choked with sobs, and the more she spoke, the thicker her emotions got.
"Everything is fine, why are you crying?" Mu Taijun was stunned. He didn't expect Mu Lutong to have such a reaction. The monarch, who had already experienced countless conflicts in the human world, was actually at a loss as to what to do.
She had only brought Mu Yu Ting a few dishes, so why did she cry so miserably?
"Lan Ting used to think that the Grand Emperor didn't like me, so she was stingy and thought that his heart was with her little sister. At the beginning, she might have been a bit angry or dissatisfied, but later on, time gradually wore off …"
When Mu Taijun heard this, she was slightly startled. Her eyebrows knitted together, but she didn't say anything. She only calmly looked at Mu Qiushan.
"Therefore, Qiushan Ting didn't dare to ask for more from the Grand Monarch. She thought that she would continue to live like this forever, but she didn't expect that the Grand Monarch would actually care so much for her body and personally bring her food. How could I not be overwhelmed by this favor?"
Mu Yu Ting held onto Mu Taijun's hand tightly. Mu Taijun could feel the warmth of her touch, and a part of his heart couldn't help but soften.
"Qiushan Ting, don't you dare say such words in front of me anymore. You're my granddaughter, how could I not like you? In my heart, you and Chen Bi are the same, no one is higher, no one is lower. "
Mu Taijun sighed lightly and comforted him softly. Looking at Mu Yuting with a hint of love in her eyes, she said, "Perhaps I will be more biased at times, but you must know that you are the dignified direct descendant of our Mu Family. In my heart, you will never be bad."
"Yes, granddaughter understands." Mu Yu Ting gently leaned her head on Mu Taijun's shoulder. Her voice was a little soft from crying, and there was even a hint of coquettishness in it. "As long as granddaughter knows that granddaughter has a place in Grandmother's heart, granddaughter will be happy."
Mu Taijun suddenly felt upset. A part of her heart was being churned upside down. For a moment, she didn't know what to say, so she could only reach out her hand to gently pat Mu Yuting's back.
It seemed like she had indeed been wrong before. Bringing the grudges of the previous generation onto the hands of the next generation was indeed not something she should do.
Perhaps in the evening, Yu Qing did indeed behave inappropriately in some places. However, this Mu Lutang was different from her. She had quite a bit of sparkle to her, and was worthy for her position as the direct descendant of the Mu Family.
"Lan Ting, don't worry. I definitely won't underestimate you again."
"En, Grandmother doesn't need to say these things. Qiantang has already known about them in her heart." Mu Yu Ting buried her head in Mu Taijun's arms, inhaling the scent that belonged to her. Her heart was at peace.
