"Hey, Yan'er, come here quickly. We are the only two people in this room now. Why do we have to perform such a grand ceremony?"

Madam Mu looked at her with a smile on her face, but Mu Yan felt that the smile was a little creepy.

"Grandma, etiquette cannot be abolished."

Madam Mu nodded with satisfaction, patted the seat in front of her, and said affectionately: "Come and sit here, grandma, so I can take a good look at you."

Mu Yan chuckled and said, "My granddaughter just came in from outside. It's freezing outside, so she must be a little cold. Grandmother is not feeling well, so I'd better sit farther away to avoid passing the cold to you."

He immediately found a seat nearby and sat down.

Madam Mu didn't seem to notice her estrangement, and even praised her to her personal Nanny Tian: "Look, this child has been filial since she was young. She is worthy of being the eldest granddaughter of our Mu family. She is really considerate."

amount……

Mu Yan sneered in her heart. Has she forgotten that she cursed herself for being cruel because of Liu's death some time ago?

Now she was being praised for being considerate. She was really not used to Madam Mu's deliberate show of kindness, and she felt really uncomfortable here.

Nanny Tian laughed awkwardly, seeming to feel that Madam Mu's forced praise was a bit awkward, but she had to agree, "Madam, you are absolutely right. Although the eldest daughter was not raised by you since she was a child, she is the most filial."

Then she paused for a moment and continued to praise, "Just a few days ago on the first day of the Lunar New Year, she was already standing at the door of Ning'an Hall before dawn, just waiting for you to wake up and greet you.

This shows that the young lady knows that you really love her, and her filial piety towards you is also sincere. "

These words caused Mu Yan's hand holding the teacup to tremble involuntarily.

The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and she complained secretly in her heart.

Auntie Tian! You just paused for a moment. I guess you really can't think of anything to praise?

Besides, paying respects to elders on New Year's Day has been a custom since ancient times. And at that time, not only her, but also Mu Xue and Mu Ning were waiting outside, and she was not the only one.

She really couldn't stand the master and servant's echoing, so she chose to get straight to the point and said, "I wonder what grandma wants me to do this time?"

Madam Mu's face was calm, but a dark look flashed in her eyes. She slowly said, "I just missed you and wanted to see you. Is there anything wrong? There are indeed some small things I want to discuss with you."

Mu Yan thought, as expected.

If there was nothing wrong, she, as a grandmother, would not bother to look at her any more. She put down the teacup in her hand and said calmly, "Grandma, if you have something to say, just say it."

Just stop praising me. Sorry, I just can’t stand it.

"On the first day of the Lunar New Year, when I went to Tianxuan Temple to burn incense, Master Zhukong saw that my forehead was a little dark, so he read my fortune. He said that our Mu family had done too many sins, which might have damaged our foundation, and we needed to do something to make up for it."

Mu Yan said indifferently: "Has our Mu family ever done anything wrong? I don't know. I only know that our Mu family not only burns incense and worships Buddha during festivals, but also opens rice warehouses to help the people. Why does Master Zhukong say this?"

Her words were full of doubts about Master Zhukong, but Old Madam Mu stopped her immediately. She looked stern and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Master Zhukong is a great monk who would not speak nonsense. What he said about the debt of life is absolutely correct."

Mu Yan was filled with contempt in his heart, a high-level monk?

Wasn’t that Master Xichen from last time also an accomplished monk? But didn’t he also help Liu to frame me?

But she still followed Madam Mu's words and continued: "Grandmother, you are talking about Qin Xiaoniang and Randi, right? Their deaths are indeed a pity, but the servants have carefully investigated and said that the fire was an accident. Could there be another story behind this?"

Madam Mu quickly denied it, "No, no, no, it's not about the mother and son."

Hearing this, Mu Yan couldn't help but guess something in her heart, and asked knowingly: "Oh? What is that?"

Madam Mu sighed, "It was your concubine Liu who made the mistake. The master said that she was filled with great resentment when she died, and her soul is still lingering in the mansion. If this continues, the family will surely be in turmoil."

Then he murmured in a low voice: "No wonder my health has always been poor..."

Mu Yan showed some disdain at the corner of his mouth. It was indeed related to that woman!

But what made her despise Old Madam Mu even more was her explanation. Her illness was caused by her when she was young, so how could it be related to Liu Wenmei now? It was really too absurd.

She raised her eyebrows and opened her thin lips slightly: "Oh? Really? It's related to Aunt Liu? Did the master tell me how to resolve it?"

This question hit Madam Mu's heart directly. She quickly said, "The master said that if we want to resolve Liu's resentment, we must compensate her. Only then can she leave and reincarnate."

"I've thought about it, and if we really want to compensate her, why don't we bury her in the Mu family's ancestral tomb, and then set up a tablet for her in the Tianxuan Temple, and enjoy some incense offerings. This way, she should be able to resolve her resentment."

Then she added: "I am doing this for the sake of our entire Mu family."

Mu Yan closed her eyes, then slowly opened them. Her pupils were now filled with coldness. She sneered, "Grandmother, Liu is just a concubine and is not included in the family tree. How can she be qualified to be buried in the Mu family's ancestral tomb? Are you going to break the rules?"

Madam Mu waved her hand and said disapprovingly: "It's not a big deal. As long as we make her the legitimate wife in name, she will be the mistress of the Mu family and it will be legitimate for her to be buried in the ancestral tomb."

Mu Yan tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart. Everything Liu had done to her mother, brother, and her in the past made her hate this person to the core.

After her death, he had allowed Sun Moyu to give her a proper burial for the sake of the Mu family.

But now that she's dead, you want to make her your legal wife, and bury her in the Mu family's ancestral tomb like your own mother?

What a dream!

She chuckled, "Grandma, you've really thought it through. You've really done your best for our Mu family. But the matter of the concubine's appointment as the first wife is of great importance. Grandma, why don't you go and discuss it with father?"

"As for the matter of setting up a memorial tablet in the temple, you need to discuss it with Second Aunt. My granddaughter is too young to make the decision. Grandmother, I'm afraid you found the wrong person today, right?"

As a junior, she shouldn't be the one to discuss such matters.

Now that he had called her here and said these words, he simply wanted her to persuade her father to make Liu his legal wife.

Because of what Liu had done to him, Mu Rangjun always felt guilty towards her, and he felt that he had failed to protect her. Therefore, if Mu Yan asked Liu to become his wife, his father would certainly agree.
