Amid Mu Qingyun's sobbing, Little Yuan Bao's crisp voice rang out.
Mu Qingyun looked up from the dining table. Her eyes were red and she sniffled." Is Sister allergic to prawns? When did this happen? In the past, didn't her sister like to eat prawns the most?”
Mu Qingyun said innocently.
Little Yuan Bao pursed his lips. He would not remember wrongly. Back when he lived in the valley, there was once when he went to the pond with his master to catch a lot of prawns. He carefully peeled the prawn skin and pulled out the prawn thread to make a bowl of soup for his mother. In the end, his mother only took a sip before her entire body broke out in red rashes. Even her beautiful face was not spared. Because of this, he blamed himself for a long time, so he remembered it very clearly.
At this moment, Mu Aotian and Mu Xuanyun turned to look at Lu Tang.
"Little Tang, you've been missing for four years. Why did your taste change when you came back?”
At this moment, Liu Shi also spoke up.
Lu Tang put down her chopsticks and pursed her lips.
"Yeah, I'm allergic to prawns. I haven't been able to eat prawns since I can remember.”
Lu Tang spoke in a very low voice, and her expression was a little indifferent. The dishes on the table were originally her favorite, but because of this second aunt, she had lost her appetite.
She had never known that Begonia of the Mu family liked to eat prawns.
She only knew that she didn't like it because she was allergic.
If it was before, she might have made up an excuse to avoid it, but now, she was not willing.
The eldest brother of the Mu family said that he felt that her current temper was very good. The father of the Mu family also said that as long as she was happy, it was fine.
Then, why did she lie to the Mu family's father and brother just because she was allergic to prawns?
Lu Tang was the kind of person who had her own aura. She did not smile at this moment, but her eyes were slightly cold as she looked at Mu Qingyun and Liu Shi. She said," I don't remember how much I liked to eat four years ago. I only know that I don't like to eat now, or else I'll get rashes. I don't remember many things I liked in the past, and I don't remember many people I liked in the past.”
These words were soft and did not have much force, but anyone could hear the coldness in Lu Tang's words and the double meaning behind them.
Mu Qingyun's face turned pale.
She understood what Lu Tang meant almost instantly. She meant that she did not like the things from the past anymore, and she was no longer on good terms with her in the past.
She could tell that her cousin was angry.
The girl from four years ago would never have such a sharp side. She liked to leave some leeway when doing things and would never embarrass others on the spot.
And now, her cousin was full of sharpness and did not hide it. If she liked him, she liked him. If she did not like him, she would not bother to pretend.
Mu Qingyun's face turned pale as she stood there in a daze.
"Little Tang, how can you say that? Second Shen is doing this for your own good, and Yun Er is also concerned about you.”
Liu Shi was also a little embarrassed by Lu Tang's words. She said angrily.
Lu Tang looked up and smiled." Thank you, Second Aunt and Cousin Qingyun. I really don't need it."”
These words sounded well-behaved, but when one thought about it carefully, there was clearly a hint of mockery.
"Little Tang, you…"
Madam Liu's face turned red with anger because of Lu Tang's indifferent words. She stood up from her chair with a thud. She immediately said," Lass Tang, is this how you should treat Second Aunt? You've been missing for four years. Have you forgotten the basic etiquette and filial piety? Look at your current appearance. Where is the appearance of a lady from a noble family?”
She scolded Lu Tang with a dark face.
As soon as she finished speaking, the atmosphere at the dining table instantly turned cold. Mu Aotian and Mu Xuanyun's expressions turned extremely ugly.
"Xinyao, what are you talking about?”
Mu Jihong couldn't sit still anymore. He shouted at Liu Shi in a low voice.
It would have been fine if Mu Jihong had not spoken, but the moment she spoke, Liu Shi's anger instantly rose. She looked extremely pained and directly fired at Mu Jihong," Mu Jihong, why are you shouting at me? Did I say something wrong? I'm saying this for Yan 'er's own good. I treat her like my daughter.
'Little Tang lost her mother when she was young. She was a little ball at that time. When I carried her into my room, she drank my breast milk. Sob, sob, sob…'
But look, does this Tang girl still put me, her aunt, in her eyes?”
Madam Liu shouted emotionally, her eyes still filled with tears of grievance. Mu Jihong looked embarrassed, shrinking his neck from the shouting. He gave Mu Aotian a stiff smile. He was a henpecked husband. Once his wife was angry, he did not dare to speak.
Lu Tang blinked. She didn't think that there would be such a thing. Haitang of the Mu family had eaten this second aunt's breast milk?
Counting her age, Mu Qingyun was only born in the same month as Begonia Mu. So, according to Lady Liu's words, Begonia Mu had never seen her mother since she was born?
Lu Tang fell into deep thought. Mu Xuanyun had told him not to casually mention his mother in front of the Mu family's father. Did that mean that his mother had died due to childbirth? He died because he gave birth to Mu Haitang?
Lu Tang thought about it for a long time and knew that this was just his own guess. He shook his head and threw the question aside. He looked at his second aunt again. Her eyes were red and she looked aggrieved and angry. Lu Tang sneered in his heart. No wonder this second aunt was so confident. So she was using this matter to get the bridge.
Lu Tang's lips twitched. She found it funny. What was Madam Liu trying to do on her first day back?
She was a sensitive person since she was young. She could tell at a glance who was good to her and who was sincere or fake to her. From the faces of the mother and daughter of the second branch, Mu Qingyun aside, even this second aunt did not seem to welcome her return.
There was a smile on his face, but there was a hidden knife in his words.
Lu Tang let out a sigh of relief. She raised her head and looked at Liu Shi. This Second Aunt was also staring at her, so when she raised her head, their gazes met. Lu Tang narrowed her eyes and was about to speak when she saw Mu Aotian slam his palm on the table. His face was as dark as ink, and he looked extremely ugly. His eyes were as cold as ice as he looked at Liu Xinyao. He then shouted," Enough!"”
The moment Mu AoTian spoke, the entire main hall fell silent. Mu Jihong shrunk her neck and looked like she did not care. She was really a bear.
Mu Aotian's eyes turned and landed on Liu Xinyao's face. He said," Sister-in-law, what are you trying to do? Tonight's meal is to welcome the Tang girl. Do you have to make everyone unhappy?”
Mu AoTian said calmly.
However, the calmer he was, the more it showed his suppressed anger.
"I…"
When Mu Aotian spoke, Liu Xinyao's aura weakened. She opened her mouth and her eyes turned red." Big Brother, I treat Little Tang as my daughter. I feel bad as her aunt that she has become like this…"
She wiped her tears and said.
Hearing Liu Xinyao's words, Mu Aotian's lips twitched, and his eyebrows furrowed together. Then, he heard Mu Aotian say," Second Sister-in-law, you don't have to feel bad. Little Tang is the eldest daughter of the Mu family. Whether she's dignified and virtuous, or arrogant and domineering, she's my child. No one has the right to comment.”
Mu Aotian's words were not polite at all. He did not give Liu Xinyao any face at all. As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Xinyao's expression turned ugly, and her eyes were filled with grief and indignation.
However, Mu Aotian did not seem to notice it and continued," Back then, because Little Tang did not have breast milk to eat, I proposed to find a nanny. It was you who volunteered to bring Little Tang back to your room and feed her with Little Yun. However, you only fed her for more than half a month before you gave up on her. Everyone here knows the reason, including Second Brother.
However, after so many years, as your elder brother, I still remember your friendship. In Runan Palace, the food and clothing have always been distributed according to the top of the palace and have never been harsh on you.”
Mu Aotian's fingers slowly and rhythmically tapped on the table," But Second Sister-in-law, you still have to remember that the Tang girl is the Eldest Miss of this Prince's mansion. In terms of status and position, she is above you. In terms of filial piety, I, as her father, am still alive. Second Sister-in-law, you only need to take care of Jihong's diet and Yun 'er's food and clothing. As for the Tang girl, you don't have to worry about her in the future."”
Mu Aotian's words were very serious. Liu Xinyao's body swayed a few times, and her hands that were hanging by her sides were tightly clenched together. Her eyes were red, as if her heart had been broken.
Mu Qingyun didn't dare to say anything and carefully tugged at Liu Xinyao's sleeve.
Only then did Liu Xinyao come back to her senses. After a while, she said," I'll remember what Big Brother said. I won't overstep my boundaries in the future."”
After saying this, she sat back on her chair. She did not shout herself hoarse, but her face was a little pale. It was as if she had suffered a great blow because of Mu Aotian's words.
Lu Tang did not say anything. Her father from the Mu family was venting his anger for her. Her heart was warm, but she also understood that this second aunt had touched the reverse scale of her father, which was why she had angered him.
However, this Second Aunt's dejected expression did not seem to be because she had been reprimanded by Mu Aotian. It was more like…
After being scolded by the person he loved, his heart was like dead ashes!
Lu Tang blinked and blinked again. She was shocked by her discovery.
She straightened her body and sized up the Mu family's father. His facial features were strong, handsome, and extraordinary. He was also in a high position and had a masculine aura. He came from a family of generals and was conferred the title of king at the age of thirty. He was the dream lover of countless women.
He looked at the second uncle of the second branch. They were both brothers. This second uncle was thin and weak. Not only could he not take on the responsibility, but he also had no manly aura. When he encountered problems, he was like an ostrich. Moreover, he did not have any official position. He only knew how to write and write all day long. He was a typical sour scholar.
Comparing the two of them, there was a huge difference.
So...
This Second Aunt kept saying that she treated her like a daughter and even mentioned the matter of Mu Haitang feeding on her breast milk. Could it be that she was thinking of becoming the real mistress of the Imperial Residence?
