Chapter 195 As Expected!
Regardless, Jin had no choice but to agree to let Yang into the house. After all, Yang was pregnant.
Seeing that Madam Jin had finally nodded, Mu Xin Nuan smiled and said, "Congratulations, Second Aunt! Didn't you always say that you regretted not having a daughter? Now, it seems that heaven has blessed you and sent you a daughter. This is truly a joyous occasion."
Upon hearing what she said, Jin felt like she could immediately burst into a tirade of abuse!
What kind of good thing is this? Other women give birth to daughters for their husbands, and these daughters will have to call them "mother" in the future. Is this really a good thing?
However, Madam Jin knew how much Mu Xin Nuan meant to the old master, so she naturally didn't dare to reprimand her to his face! Besides, there really wasn't any other meaning behind her words on the surface!
The old lady was genuinely happy. "Anuan is right. Now, your second branch of the family has both a son and a daughter, which makes up the character '好' (good/perfect). Seeing this, I feel at ease."
That's what the old lady said, but deep down she still felt that Mu Xinyi was too young. If Mu Xinyao could be adopted into the second branch of the family, the benefits to the second branch would be considerable!
However, now that the second wife has her own daughter, there is naturally no need for her to think about other people's daughters anymore.
Mu Chang'an nodded and said, "Congratulations, Second Brother. You've finally achieved your wish. By the way, what did you say this girl's name was?"
Before Mu Changping could speak, Mu Xinyi blinked her bright, sparkling eyes and said confidently, "Uncle, my name is Mu Xinyi. Father said that girls of this generation are all named with the character 'Xin' (心), and 'Yi' (怡) means happiness and joy. I wonder if I'm right?"
Seeing such an innocent and adorable girl, Mu Chang'an naturally laughed heartily and turned to say, "Second brother, you do have a clever and quick-witted daughter. It seems that Anuan and the others will have another playmate from now on."
Mu Xinyi looked at Mu Xinnuan with some curiosity. Seeing that Mu Xinnuan was looking at her with a slight smile and that she could not feel any hostility or rejection from her, Mu Xinyi became even more curious about this older sister.
Mu Xinyi had heard her father mention her many times and knew that she was the most noble young lady in the mansion. Putting aside everything else, just the fact that she was the eldest daughter of the legitimate wife was enough to make Mu Xinyi, a concubine's daughter, extremely envious. Not to mention that her mother was a young lady from a noble family.
"Your little sister looks about five years old, doesn't she?" Mu Xinnuan said with a smile.
"Yes, big sister, I am six years old this year."
Six years old? Mu Xin Nuan smiled and nodded, but out of the corner of her eye, she naturally noticed Jin Shi's increasingly unpleasant expression!
Mu Xinyi is six years old, which means that Mu Changping has been keeping a mistress for seven years! That's quite surprising!
Everyone says that Madam Jin is powerful and has extraordinary means, but now, her husband has been keeping a mistress outside for seven years, and she, as his legal wife, has only just now truly learned of his infidelity. For Madam Jin, this is tantamount to being slapped in the face!
What happened in the second wife's household, while not exactly shameful, was certainly not something to be proud of either.
The old master has given the order that no one in the household is to mention this matter again. After all, Mu Changping's official position will probably be finalized in the next few days. We absolutely cannot allow any trouble to arise at this crucial juncture.
It was precisely because of this that Jin had no choice but to bow her head to Mu Changping, nod and let Yang into the house, drink her tea, and include Mu Xinyi in the family genealogy.
After Yuexuan and Muxin Nuan finished playing the last note, their arms were already a little sore.
"Miss, please rest. You must be tired from practicing the zither today." Rongyue brought over a handkerchief to help her wash her hands, and then served her a cup of tea.
"Yes, Rongyue's tea-making skills are getting better and better."
“Miss is always making fun of people,” Rongyue said with some dissatisfaction. “However, I heard that the young lady from the second branch of the family is currently trying to find a way to learn the tea ceremony from you.”
"Her?" Mu Xin Nuan's lips curled up. As expected, she was scheming. She was only six years old, yet she already knew how to find someone to rely on.
"Miss, I heard that the Third Miss is very much favored by the Second Master."
"Of course, Third Sister has a sweet tongue, and she's also beautiful and pleasing to the eye, so it's no wonder Second Uncle dotes on her."
Rongyue blinked, then said in a somewhat sycophantic tone, "Miss, could you tell me how you knew that Yang would definitely leak the information to the Second Madam? She's been a mistress all these years, enjoying herself, so why would she suddenly want to become a concubine?"
Hearing this, Mu Qing also came over and said, "Yes, Miss, I also don't understand. That Yang Shi seems to be a shrewd person. Over the years, she must have made a lot of money from the Second Master. Even if the Second Master doesn't want her anymore in the future, her life won't be too difficult. So why bother coming to the mansion to cause trouble?"
"What do you know? Who would complain about having too much money? Is it going to burn your hands? Besides, don't forget, isn't Madam Yang pregnant?"
Upon hearing this, Rong Yue scoffed, "So what? Didn't she give birth to a daughter for the Second Master before? The Third Miss is already six years old, and she's already made it through. Why would she suddenly want to enter the Mu family now that she's pregnant?"
Mu Xin Nuan smiled gently, exuding grace and elegance, but the words that came out of her mouth were enough to make people uneasy.
"That's because a doctor took her pulse and said that she was having a boy, so she got anxious." Mu Xin Nuan took a sip of tea and smiled. "Of course, Madam Yang wasn't stupid either. Naturally, she invited several more doctors to take her pulse. When most of the doctors told her that she was having a boy, do you think she wouldn't think about her son?"
"Son?" Rongyue's eyes widened. "My God! Miss, is this why you haven't taken any action even though the Yang family has been in the capital for so long?"
Just then, Granny Yu brought over some snacks and said with a smile, "It takes three months for a woman's pregnancy to take shape. Only if the pulse is taken after three months and it's confirmed to be a boy will people believe it, right?"
After Rong Yue was stunned for a while, when she looked at her young mistress again, her eyes were filled with nothing but worship!
"Miss, you're absolutely amazing! To even think of this, I'm truly impressed." Rongyue said excitedly, "That Second Madam isn't stupid either. She probably already knows that she would find that house. From the very beginning, it was all Yang's doing! She just thought that Yang was deliberately scheming against her to get into the Mu family, but who could have imagined that all of this was within Miss's expectations from the very beginning?"
