When Qiaomu arrived, the Old Madam was just about to have dinner. Hearing that her granddaughter and her husband had come, she was overjoyed. She quickly ordered extra chopsticks and invited them to dine with her.
"This child is...?"
Qiaomu looked at Caixiu behind her.
Crown Prince Mo secretly chuckled, knowing that his little one was too lazy to explain again.
Caixiu quickly stepped forward and recounted the events in Yulan Garden.
The Old Madam's face darkened, feeling quite vexed.
She had just invited this little ancestor to stay at home for a while, and that clueless outer chamber woman had already caused a scene in her courtyard?
She immediately felt a bit doubtful about Mu Qingya's managing abilities.
Previously, she had seen Qingya manage the entire Mu family well, keeping things orderly with not many messy incidents.
How was it that recently she felt her abilities had declined significantly?
Or was it that this outer chamber woman, Yuan Qionger, was just too adept at stirring up trouble in the First Branch?
"Grandmother, you've just recovered from a serious illness, and your body still needs to rest. But as for that Yuan Qionger, you've seen what kind of person she is," Qiaomu couldn't help but explain a few words. "Her mind isn't good, and her methods are even more vulgar."
"Given her current favor with Mu Jingfeng, would her child, with such a high fever, not have a doctor come to see her?"
"She had to come and put on an act in front of me, thinking everyone else is as foolish as her."
Old Madam Mu sighed, inwardly cursing Yuan Qionger to no end.
Everyone assumed the young Crown Princess was young and inexperienced, but she was clever. She knew everything, her eyes almost seeing through everything.
"I can't control the grievances between her and the First Branch Madam, but bringing her child to my courtyard today and causing a ruckus is simply her lack of manners."
"I gave her a thorough lesson, hoping she'll remember it in the future and not come bothering me for no reason."
"If she puts on an act in front of me, I'll make sure she gets a lesson she'll never forget."
Old Madam Mu nodded, but she felt a bit torn between laughter and tears.
The young Crown Princess, with her poker face, acted and spoke with true decisiveness, giving absolutely no consideration for others' feelings.
"I understand this matter." Old Madam Mu smiled and patted Qiaomu's hand, then turned to the nanny bowing her head beside her. "Take the child to my room. From now on, this child will stay with me for a while."
"Thank you, Grandmother."
"What's there to thank?" The Old Madam said with a smile. "Little Eight is also my granddaughter. Letting her stay with Yuan Qionger would only harm her."
At this point, the Old Madam also felt a surge of anger.
The reason Yuan Qionger dared to act like this must have been due to Mu Jingfeng's protection.
It was truly enough. This child, Jingfeng, seemed good in the past, but in recent years, he had become increasingly unseemly.
Since he found Qingya to be his second wife, yet still brought in an outer chamber to disrespect her, no legitimate wife would be happy with that.
Furthermore, putting this child under the care of an outer chamber was truly beyond all rules and decency.
Qiaomu said, "Grandmother, when you were cultivating, you were too eager to advance, which caused you to suffer a minor deviation."
"If Grandmother trusts me, follow the medicated diet recipe I prescribe for half a year, and you should be almost completely recovered."
Old Madam Mu's eyes suddenly lit up upon hearing this.
Some of the problems in her meridians were things that even master physicians might not be able to discern, yet her granddaughter had seen through them with a single remark?
