Volume 1: Yun Family Has A Daughter Chapter 4: Confrontation
The Anhe Temple was filled with joy at this time.
Enviously watching the happy family of three in front of her, it seemed to have triggered a long-sealed memory, and her lips rarely had a soft smile, no longer as cold as usual.
Yun Zhan hugged Mu Mu tightly and wouldn't let go, gazing at his beloved daughter's adorable rosy face. He repeatedly wanted to lean in for a kiss, but was repeatedly dodged by Mu Mu's playful evasion, making funny faces at her own father.
Looking at his innocent and lovely daughter, he really wished he could give her all the best things in life and make her the happiest child under heaven!
"Xiao Mo'er, let Daddy give you a kiss!"
"No way! Your beard is too scary! Wait until you shave it off cleanly, then Momo won't hide anymore!"
This old man's beard is really scary, black and hard, all over his face! It's not that I really dislike my father, it's just that I'm not used to being so intimate with him yet! In her previous life, her father loved her dearly, but she never let her father get close to her.
Yun Zhan felt embarrassed when he heard his own daughter say this!
This mustache has followed him for so many years, it's really hard to bear cutting it off!
Tong's family stood by, looking at the two most important people in her life, with a satisfied smile on her face. As long as her husband and daughter were fine, everything else didn't matter!
"Master, isn't it time to take Xiaomu to pay respects to Old Madam?"
Tong's voice interrupted the interaction between the father and daughter, soft but firm.
Originally, when his daughter returned, she should have gone to pay her respects to the old lady first. However, since the old lady didn't want to see her, she was worried that if her husband wasn't around, the old lady would make things difficult for their daughter.
"Ah, Yu'er is right! Mother must be waiting for us!"
Watching her daughter struggle to get down, she reluctantly put down Mo Mo.
At this time, warm spring arrived in the old lady's house.
"Pay respects to Master, Madam, and young lady! Old Madam invites Master, Madam, and young lady to go to the Taihe Courtyard."
This Nuan Chun is one of the four major maids in Old Lady Fang's house, but her words and deeds are somewhat frivolous, and she is not very respectful to Tong Shi and Mo Mo. Which maid dares to stare directly at the master's eyes in front of the master, and still recklessly glance around?
Mo Mo gazed at the warm spring in front of her, lost in thought. This slave's attitude made her think that even her never-before-met grandmother wasn't a kind person!
Tong's family ordered her personal maid to take the worry-free belt to the courtyard prepared for Mo Mo, and the three went to Taihe Courtyard.
As soon as they entered the main hall of Taihe Temple, they heard Li Niang's extremely shrill and mournful wailing coming from inside the house!
In a flash of unintended attention, I noticed that Dad's brow was slightly furrowed, and his face flashed with disgust, but between expressions, there was more helplessness.
Helpless?
After a moment of contemplation with a hint of playfulness, I followed my parents into the main house.
"Hello, Mother!"
"Pay respects to the elderly lady!"
"Give grandma my regards!"
The three of them didn't care what was going on in the house, they fell to the ground with their faces down and said in unison!
"Son, get up quickly!" The old lady saw the situation and pushed away Li Niang who was holding her hand and crying. She hurried to help her son get up! However, she seemed to ignore Tong Shi and Mo Mo as if they were transparent people kneeling in front of her!
Mo Mo saw this and didn't get angry, instead she helped up Tong Shi who was constantly making eyes at her and had an anxious face!
"How dare you! Who told you to stand up? You unruly thing! Don't you hurry up and kneel down!"
The old lady was already intentionally making things difficult, seeing Momo's behavior, she became furious and loudly scolded.
The old lady had always disliked Madam Tong, and by extension, she also didn't like this unfamiliar granddaughter. Just now, Li's wife's crying complaint made her even more unwelcome to this mother-daughter pair!
"Grandma, I didn't know that there were still rules in this household! Just now when I came back, I only saw Mother and the attendants, but didn't see anyone else. I thought Grandma was kind and lenient, and had abolished those useless rules!"
Mo Mo said with a terrified face, but in her heart she was very disdainful! If you really follow the rules, you wouldn't let this woman make such a fuss.
This seemingly innocuous remark is actually a trap!
In a large and prestigious household, it is especially strict with rules and etiquette, let alone in the esteemed General's mansion!
Mo Mo, as the legitimate daughter of the General's Manor, ranked only below Old Madam and Cloud War couple. However, upon arriving at the entrance, she only saw her own mother. If one were to investigate further, not a single one of the Li concubines would be able to escape!
If the old lady still minds Mu Mu's sudden departure, then she is admitting that she herself is not a kind and benevolent elder; if she doesn't mind, then she is acknowledging that the General's residence is a place without rules, and it can't be blamed on her!
"You..."
The old lady was so angry with Momo's words that she stood up with a "huff"! She really couldn't believe that her eldest granddaughter, who had been sent to the temple since childhood, was so cunning and more difficult to deal with than her useless daughter!
Yun Zhan saw his own mother and beloved daughter arguing, hurriedly came out to mediate, hastily helped his mother sit down, and humbly said: "Mother, calm down! This can't be blamed on Xiao'er, it's actually the people in the mansion who are unruly and have corrupted Xiao'er! I will definitely severely punish them!"
Momo almost applauded when she heard her father's words! Her father's words were too artistic! Her father's obvious maintenance of her also moved her!
If the old lady was smart, she would have come down with the ladder given by her son. Unfortunately, the old lady couldn't swallow this breath, seeing her son's obvious bias, and became even more furious!
"What else can you say? What's wrong with Xian'er, who gave birth to our family's eldest son, and you actually hit her?"
Got it! This "war fire" instantly shifted onto poor old dad's body!
"Mother, this is all Li's wife's fault! This good-for-nothing thing actually dared to embezzle Muzhen's silver!"
Yun Zhan glared at Li Niang, who had a bright red palm print on her face, and saw that she not only didn't show any remorse but also came to tattle to her mother, which made Yun Zhan's disgust towards her even deeper!
Auntie Li was stared at until she shrank back and didn't dare make a sound.
"That was what your mother told me to do, I forgot to tell you! Are you going to hit me too, just like you did with your mother?" The old lady narrowed her eyes and looked at Yun Zhan with a face full of discontent.
"My son dare not!" Yun Zhan heard this and hastily made a bow to apologize.
Even if he had the courage of ten thousand men, he wouldn't dare lay a hand on his own mother! Even if he knew it was his mother's intention to shield Li Dajie, he wouldn't be so unfilial as to defy his own mother.
The old lady heard this and nodded in satisfaction: "She went to the temple to recover from her illness, under the protection of Bodhisattva, she got better. Then she should be more frugal and avoid extravagance, how can she indulge in luxury?"
What a load of nonsense! Mu Mu was secretly ridiculing her in her heart. This old lady spoke so eloquently, but wasn't she just making excuses for herself? If you want to protect your precious niece, I can ignore it, but if you dare to shift the blame onto me, then you're absolutely wrong!
Digression
"Alright, keratitis is getting worse! Look at Wen Diqin, you guys handle it, I won't say anything else, I'm out of here~"
