The mother and daughter talked for a while, and Mu Chengfang got to know Mu An's wife, Zhu Yao, and received some comforting words.

The family chatted as they entered the house, and soon they arrived at the courtyard where Mu had lived before the wedding.

If I can't go back, it would be great to have such a warm and considerate family. She was only greedy for this one time. She would take the place of the original owner to live a good life and take care of her mother.

On this day, she was ready to help Zhu Yao take care of her mother's 50th birthday banquet. After returning to her family, she received a lot of care. It was not good for her to make her sister-in-law toil for her, so she could share some of the burden. She wanted to do her best and understand the world a lot.

Once she understood, she would then have further plans. For example, what kind of job was she to do here, what kind of ability was needed to support her, and how to survive?

She had thought about how she could learn forensic science with her dreams in mind, how she had also studied ancient autopsy techniques, and how it would be useful in the current era. The skills she didn't want to learn were useless in the end, but she had to observe them carefully to see if she could do it.

Seeing that she was in good spirits, Zhu Yao smiled and pulled her hand to say a few words, then passed the matter of arranging the hall to her.

The servants had already bought new lanterns, drapes and decorations. She only needed to watch as the maids and servants were properly placed.

Mu Chengfang didn't want to be lazy. She had seen everything and asked the Mother Dong for advice. She wanted to be the best person to do everything.

Even if it was He Li, Mu Chengfang was still beautiful and confident, and was still the apple of the eye of the Mu Family. Her life was even better than when she was at the Xu Family, and the only fault she had was that she did not get rid of that useless Xu Yaozong earlier.

Mu Chengfang was very grateful and also surprised to have such an open-minded mother. After all, even in the modern world, many people would feel that it was shameful for a woman to be divorced from a husband and wife.

While she was busy arranging flowers in the vase, Mur'an returned, followed by a line of servants carrying red boxes.

"I brought your dowry from the Xu family." He was in a good mood as he loudly said, "I also paid the market price for the items that I lost." I didn't want to give them three years' worth of food and clothing, and they almost made her pass out from the anger. "Serves you right. It's all because of your own sins."

Mu Chengfang smiled as she walked over, "You've troubled brother."

Mu An said, "Sister will see if the number is correct. If there are no problems, then bring it to your own small warehouse."

Mother Dong took the list and showed it to Mu Chengfang.

When Zhu Yao heard the commotion, he also came over, and upon seeing the Mother Dong taking inventory of the items, and hearing what his husband had said, he went back to his own storage room. His expression darkened, and pulled Mu An to the side to talk.

Mu An said helplessly, "This is mother's wish."

"But you also know that the shop has been recently …" Zhu Yao anxiously pulled on his clothes.

Mu An said, "In the future when we invite our sister to manage the shop together, she will naturally take out the money. There's nothing to be anxious about."

Zhu Yao raised her eyebrows, "You still want to invite Fang Fang to manage the store?!"

Mu An did not take her surprise to heart and nodded. "That's right. She is the daughter of our Mu family. Naturally, we will share."

Zhu Yao laughed dryly twice. Seeing her husband return to Mu Chengfang's side, the gaze in her eyes grew cold, revealing slight unwillingness and anxiety.
