3265 A Mother's Heart

How could Qiaomu let a sick old lady tire herself out? Seeing this, she quickly hurried over and respectfully bowed to the Old Madam.

The Old Madam happily took her hand, quickly slipped off a ring from her finger, placed it in Qiaomu's hand, and said joyfully, "Qiaoqiao, this is Grandmother's welcoming gift for you, please take it."

"It's not much, just a small token of Grandmother's affection."

Lord Qiaoqiao felt the ring was a little hot to the touch. She had previously given the Old Madam's son a merciless slap in the face, so how could she possibly accept a welcoming gift from this Old Madam now?

Just as she was about to return the item, the Old Madam put on a stern face, raised her hand, and patted the back of Qiaomu's hand, saying, "This is from your Grandmother. Just take it. It has nothing to do with your scoundrel father."

Mu Qingya's expression instantly became a bit awkward.

"Old Madam, please sit down first before speaking..."

"Why call me Old Madam?" The Old Madam unhappily patted the back of Qiaomu's hand and said, "I am your proper, direct paternal grandmother. You must call me Granny. Come on, call me Granny so I can hear!"

She wasn't that stubborn old ghost Mu Cang who couldn't bring herself to be soft. She didn't want her little granddaughter to call her "Madam" or anything so distant. No, no, no, she just wanted to hear her little granddaughter call her Granny!

Qiaomu felt a bit helpless.

Spending a long time with this little one, one could actually grasp her weakness. If someone was gentle and warm towards her, she definitely couldn't be hard-hearted or put on a cold face.

On the contrary, the more someone tried to be forceful with her, the more stubbornly she would resist, refusing to yield an inch.

So, facing this kind-faced old granny, Qiaomu really couldn't keep a straight face. She could only helplessly call out "Grandmother."

The Old Madam was overjoyed, and she repeatedly corrected, "Good, good, good, my dear grandchild. Next time, remember to call me Granny."

Mu Qingya smiled from the side, "Old Madam and Miss Qiaoqiao truly have a special connection. This is probably what we call blood kinship; you feel an extraordinary connection at first sight."

The Old Madam smiled and nodded repeatedly, then corrected again, "According to seniority, Qiaoqiao should be second among the young ladies. She's our Mu family's second young lady."

"Yes," Mu Qingya paused, then quickly smiled, "This seniority should indeed be re-ordered."

Upon hearing this, Mu Rouyan was so angry that faint wisps of smoke seemed to rise from the top of her head. Earlier, when she saw the Old Madam casually give Qiaomu a spatial ring as a welcoming gift, she was already almost driven mad with jealousy.

Now, hearing the Old Madam's tone, was Qiaomu going to usurp her identity as the Mu family's second young lady?

How could this be?

She couldn't help but shriek sharply, "Grandmother is truly biased! We sisters never even received a spatial ring as a welcoming gift on ordinary days! Not even Big Sister received such good treatment!"

Mu Ruanxuan's face was already very pale, and now that Mu Rouyan's words implicated her, her face became even paler.

Mu Qingya frowned, casting an displeased glance at Mu Rouyan, "Rouyan, how are you speaking to Grandmother? Don't be so sarcastic. If you have something to say, say it properly."

"Mother, in Grandmother's heart, Daughter-in-law is only Long Chuyun! And the only direct granddaughter is Qiaomu! As for us, we all have to step aside!" Mu Rouyan burst out in anger, unable to resist blurting out her inner thoughts resentfully.

Mu Qingya sternly retorted, "Rouyan, you are too rude! What nonsense are you spouting?"
