When he returned to the Mu Mansion, the lanterns were already lit.
Butler Wang looked around at the door. When he saw Mu Aotian and the others return, he quickly went forward to welcome them.
"Wangye, the food in the residence has been prepared. Second Master, Second Furen and Miss Qingyun have not eaten at night. They are all waiting for you, Young Master and Eldest Miss.”
Uncle Wang was over fifty years old and was a diligent and capable old butler. He had been waiting at the door ever since Mu Aotian left the residence in an aggressive manner. Finally, everyone had returned. His hanging heart finally settled down and he hurriedly ordered the kitchen to bring the dishes.
"Call Jihong, Sister-in-law, and Qingyun over for dinner.”
Mu Aotian said.
"Yes."
Uncle Wang left and went to call the people from the second branch to the main hall for dinner.
After entering the main hall, he saw a large table of extremely sumptuous dishes with a tempting fragrance. Braised Lion's Head, Steamed Bass, Beggar's Chicken, Buddha Jumps Over The Wall Soup…There were a total of twelve dishes…
Lu Tang almost drooled.
She didn't have many hobbies in her life. She only had delicious food, good dishes, and good looks.
He didn't feel anything before, but now that he saw the table full of food, his stomach grumbled.
"Hungry?"
Mu Xuanyun asked in amusement when he saw Lu Tang's eyes glowing.
Lu Tang nodded pitifully. She was so hungry.
Mu Xuanyun took two pieces of peach blossom crispy cakes from the table and handed one to Lu Tang and the other to Yuan Bao." Let's fill our stomachs first. Second Uncle, Second Aunt, and Qingyun will be here soon."”
Lu Tang took it and felt a little embarrassed. The Mu family's father and brother hadn't even touched their chopsticks, and the uncle of the second branch hadn't come over yet. It wasn't good for her to eat first.
"Girl, eat it. It's just a peach blossom crisp. It's okay. You haven't eaten for a day.”
Mu Aotian sounded as if his heart was aching.
Mu Xuanyun's lips twitched slightly. He smiled but did not speak. He thought that if Third Brother was here, he would probably jump up and down. He remembered that there was once when they were having a meal, Zhifeng had pinched a peanut before everyone had arrived. In the end, he was caught by his father and was beaten up. He was punished for not eating for a day and a night.
This little girl Tang was the darling of the entire family. In the past, she was dignified and generous. Even if she was extremely hungry, she would not reveal such a longing gaze. She would definitely maintain her dignity to the end. Although her reputation was good, it was also very tiring.
Now, although the little girl had lost her memory and became a mother, she had released her pure nature. This character of the little girl made their hearts ache and they loved her even more.
"Yes, thank you, father. Thank you, big brother.”
Lu Tang put the peach blossom crisp into her mouth in one bite. The fragrance lingered on her lips and teeth. The peach blossom fragrance pervaded the air, sweet but not greasy.
"It's delicious."
Lu Tang narrowed her eyes as she ate the delicious food. From her expression, it was obvious that she had eaten a rare delicacy.
Mu Aotian and Mu Xuanyun couldn't help but laugh as they looked at Lu Tang's expression. Her eyes were narrowed and curved into a crescent moon shape. When she chewed, there were two dimples at the corner of her mouth, making her look like a cute little fox.
Mu Aotian and Mu Xuanyun's hearts softened.
"Yuan Bao, you eat too."
Mu AoTian retracted his gaze and lowered his head to see that Yuan Bao had not eaten the peach blossom crisp. He thought that Yuan Bao was embarrassed and said,"
Yuan Bao shook his head and said," Grandpa, I'm not hungry yet. This peach blossom crisp is also for Mother. Mother loves to eat it."”
Hearing Yuan Bao's words, Mu Aotian and Mu Xuanyun looked at each other. How could this little Yuan Bao be so considerate? He really knew how to dote on his mother. He was too sensible at such a young age.
Lu Tang blushed. Her son…was really too considerate.
……
At this moment, footsteps came from outside the door. The second branch followed the old butler into the main hall.
"Big brother, where did you go? He didn't even leave a message. And Xuan Yun, he left in a hurry after returning from the palace. What happened?”
Mu Jihong asked as soon as he entered. His tone was also anxious. When he entered, he accidentally tripped on the threshold because he walked too fast. If Butler Wang had not helped him up quickly, he would have fallen to the ground.
"Second Master, slow down."
Butler Wang whispered.
"I know, I know. I was too anxious. I thought something happened to big brother, so my legs went weak…”
Mu Jihong mumbled.
"It's okay. Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law, and Qingyun, hurry over and eat.”
Mu Aotian sat on the main seat with Little Yuan Bao on his lap. He called out to him.
Seeing that Mu Aotian didn't want to say it, Mu Jihong's eyes flashed and he didn't ask any more questions. He sat down with Lady Liu while Mu Qingyun walked towards Lu Tang coquettishly," Sister, can I sit next to you?"”
She asked in a low voice, her voice perturbed.
Lu Tang looked up and saw that Mu Qingyun's eyes seemed to be filled with anticipation and caution. Thinking of her cold attitude from before, she was afraid that this cousin had been frightened. When she thought of the words of the Mu family's eldest brother that she had a good relationship with Mu Qingyun, Lu Tang's lips twitched and her eyes curved." Sister Yun 'er, please take a seat. I didn't remember you before, don't mind."”
She tilted her head slightly and smiled brightly. Her lips were red and her teeth were white. She was 80% sincere.
This straightforward, enthusiastic, and honest attitude stunned Mu Qingyun.
"Silly girl, why are you in a daze now? Your Sister Tang wants you to sit over there.”
Seeing that her daughter was in a daze, Madam Liu smiled and pushed her from behind. Mu Qingyun then happily went forward and sat beside Lu Tang.
"Little Tang, Second Aunt already knows about your matter. Eldest Brother said that you lost your memory. Sigh…You've suffered a lot these past few years. Fortunately, you still remember that you're the eldest daughter of the Mu family and can still find your way home.”
Madam Liu followed closely behind Mu Qingyun and sat down. When the well-maintained woman spoke, she slightly raised the corners of her eyes, which carried a bit of charm. However, her words seemed to be concerned, but why did it sound so unpleasant?
Lu Tang narrowed her eyes and said nothing.
"Let's eat." Mu Aotian didn't reply to Liu Shi's words and spoke.
When he wasn't smiling, his face was stern and looked quite serious. As soon as he spoke, everyone began to eat.
Lady Liu's eyes darted around Mu Aotian's face. She did not say anything and lowered her head to pick up some food.
"Girl, try this. The fried pork tenderloin is quite fragrant.”
" And this fried bamboo shoot, it's lighter…"
Mu Aotian filled the plate in front of Lu Tang with food, afraid that she would not be full. His love for her was beyond words.
Mu Xuanyun was a man of few words. He quietly served Yuan Bao some food. He wanted to take care of his sister, but with his father, who was a crazy womanizer, there was nothing he could do.
"Dad, you eat too. I can pick it up myself.”
Lu Tang was all smiles. She felt warm from her hair to the soles of her feet. This was the first time in her life that she had been taken care of like this while eating at the same table as her family.
"Sister, try this jade belt shrimp. It used to be your favorite…"
Mu Qingyun spoke gently and used the chopsticks to pick up a prawn and placed it in front of Hua Yan.
The shrimp was fragrant and looked fresh and delicious. Lu Tang took a look but did not eat it.
She liked to eat and knew how to eat. She didn't mind eating meat and vegetables, but there was one thing she didn't eat, which was fresh prawns.
She couldn't touch any of the prawn meat, or else she would be allergic. Her whole body was covered in red rashes, which looked scary.
Therefore, Lu Tang did not pick up her chopsticks.
When Mu Qingyun saw that Lu Tang did not eat the prawn meat that she had picked up, she lowered her eyes and a layer of tears gradually gathered in her eyes. Soon, they turned into tears. One drop, two drops…They fell on the dining table…
"Yun 'er, why are you crying, you little girl…"
Seeing her daughter cry, Lady Liu's heart ached. She quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears.
Mu Qingyun's eyes were red and moist. She pursed her lips and shook her head." Mother, I'm fine."”
she said softly.
Because of this episode, everyone raised their heads. Mu Qingyun suddenly became the focus of everyone's attention. She seemed a little embarrassed as she bit her lips and lowered her head with a red face.
Lu Tang was speechless.
Was this second cousin too pretentious? Didn't she just not eat that prawn?
She really didn't know how to deal with a woman made of water!
Moreover, it was really disappointing to cry while eating.
"Girl, you still say that you're fine. Your eyes are red from crying. Isn't it just that your Sister Tang didn't eat the prawns you picked up? Child, why are you crying?"
Lady Liu was heartbroken as she wiped Mu Qingyun's tears while she scolded softly.
Lu Tang was speechless.
She realized that this Second Aunt's words were really sarcastic, and it was the kind of soft sarcasm. She was naturally sensitive. From the first time they met, she had already discovered this matter, so she did not plan to be too close to the Second household. She used amnesia as an excuse to hide.
After that, the Mu family's father felt uncomfortable and blamed himself because of her indifferent attitude. Later, the Mu family's elder brother also said that the Mu family was not prosperous, and the feelings between siblings were even more precious. Especially since the Mu family only had two girls, she and Mu Qingyun. They grew up together and their relationship was very good, so she should interact more.
Therefore, she wanted to get along well with him.
However, this Second Aunt of the Second household had a hidden needle in her words. She deliberately pointed out that she did not eat the prawns that Mu Qingyun had picked up. This roundabout accusation really made her want to choke back. Her little temper…
If it wasn't for the fact that she wanted to behave in front of the Mu family's father and elder brother, she would have kicked him out.
And this cousin Qingyun, she cried at the drop of a hat. She was really not the same as her.
Sigh.
Lu Tang sighed, and all the food on the table lost interest.
"Yun girl, why are you crying?"
Mu Aotian saw Qingyun crying until her eyes and nose were red and felt that it had ruined his mood. This was his precious daughter's first meal after returning home. It was used to welcome her and calm her down. This second girl's crying appearance had really ruined his mood.
"Uncle…sis doesn't eat Yun 'er's prawns, does she not like Yun' er? I also know that my sister has lost her memory, but I just feel bad, sob sob…"
It would have been better if Mu AoTian had not asked. But now that he asked, Mu Qingyun cried even harder.
Lu Tang was speechless.
Mu Aotian was speechless.
"Aunt Tang, my mother is allergic to prawns. It's not that she doesn't like you…”
