Mu Hongsheng still lowered her head, but she obediently listened to the instructions of the Duchess of An Guo and walked to her mother's side. She squatted down, put the wooden box in her hand aside, and bowed her head to the knee of the Duchess of Anguo.

Duchess An Guo stretched out her hands and silently hugged her daughter in her arms. She used a lot of strength, and Mu Hongsheng's shoulder hurt slightly. The mother and daughter didn't say anything, so they hugged each other quietly.

Mrs. Mu, who was crooked on the couch, noticed the eldest daughter-in-law and granddaughter hugging each other, she raised her head and looked at the mother and daughter who were hugging each other. Like Duchess Anguo, Mrs. Mu also noticed the jewelry box placed aside for the first time.

Her lips trembled slightly, and her eyes sparkled with water. But only for a moment. Old Madam Mu quickly turned her eyes and closed her eyes, her mouth was tightly pursed into a line, drooping down slightly, and the whole person looked cold and serious.

Gu Yilan, who was guarding Mrs. Mu's side, hurriedly poured a cup of tea and handed it to Mrs. Mu with her own hands. Old Madam Mu opened her eyes and directly reached out and pushed Gu Yilan's hand holding the tea aside. Old Madam Mu's movements were a little rough and stiff, which made the tea in Gu Yilan's hand spill out. But Gu Yilan's face didn't change, she quickly put the tea cup in her hand aside, and wiped the tea-stained robe of Old Madam Mu with a handkerchief.

"Don't be busy." Old Madam Mu once again pushed away Gu Yilan's hand, and ordered in a condensed and stiff tone: "Go to your eldest aunt, get the key to the big warehouse, and say that I will use it at night." ”

"Yes." Gu Yilan didn't dare to ask anything, and hurriedly turned around to find the Duchess of Anguo. As soon as she turned around, Mrs. Mu called the maid behind her again: "Cuiliu, open a small warehouse." ”

"Old lady?!" Cuiliu was slightly stunned, a little confused, and did not act immediately.

"Go!" Old Madam Mu urged impatiently. Mama Wang glanced at Cuiliu, took a step forward, and asked softly, "What is the old lady looking for in a small warehouse?" You might as well order it down, and the slave and maid will take Cuiliu to find it. ”

"Go and open the little storeroom," Mrs. Mu repeated, "Go and open all those cages." ”

Old Madam Mu's tone was very stern, Cuiliu and Mama Wang didn't dare to ask more, and the two hurried to the small warehouse together.

After Mrs. Mu finished instructing the maid, she stared straight in the direction of her granddaughter, Mu Hongshang glanced up at her grandmother, got up from the ground, and walked in front of Mrs. Mu? Then he knelt down.

Old Madam Mu looked at her granddaughter who was kneeling on the ground and did not speak. She's waiting? Wait for the granddaughter to speak first.

"Grandmother." Mu Hongsheng slammed her head on the ground: "The granddaughter is not filial." ”

"Red clothes...... Old Madam Mu burst into tears: "You don't want to give your grandmother a way to live!" ”

Mu Hongshang pursed her lips tightly, she didn't dare to look up at Old Madam Mu's expression? Can't open your mouth to answer Mrs. Mu's questioning? She was silent and bent down again, and once again kowtowed heavily to the ground.

"Red Dress? What are you doing! The second lady and the third lady Mu on the side were so shocked that they stood up directly, but the fourth lady Mu reflexively turned her head to look at the Duchess of Anguo.

Duchess Anguo's face is even paler? But she sat still? Still stubbornly holding back tears.

"Sister-in-law......" Mrs. Mu's voice was so soft that she seemed to be talking to herself: "This ......"

Duchess An Guo gritted her teeth and said nothing.

"Nope." Mrs. Mu, who didn't get an answer, subconsciously shook her head: "No...... How does this work...... Hongshang is the eldest lady of our family. She's a girl...... It's okay, it's okay, even if her mother spoils her, she can't tolerate her being so willful. ”

"Have you thought about it?" Old Madam Mu stared at Mu Hongsheng who was kneeling on the ground, her eyes were complicated.

"I've figured it out." Mu Hongshang lay on the ground and didn't look up? But replied firmly: "Grandmother? It's the granddaughter who is willful. Since I was a child, you have been used to me, please pamper me again. ”

"You're trying to blackmail me!" Old Madam Mu's voice suddenly rose: "I have spoiled you for so many years, and this is how you repay me?!" It's me who is bad! Spoiling you so selfishly! Did you think about me before you made a decision? Ever thought about your mother?! ”

Old Madam Mu suddenly lost her temper like this, startling Gu Yilan, who stepped into the threshold with the key to the big warehouse? One accidentally dropped the key on the ground? There was a crisp sound.

Gu Yilan had gone out to find Chun Hui to get the key before, so she didn't know what was going on? As soon as she came back, she saw Mu Hongsheng kneeling in the middle, and Old Madam Mu was losing her temper with tears in her eyes. Gu Yilan was really frightened? She has been married into the Mu family for so long? In her heart? Mrs. Mu has always been a kind and reasonable grandmother, and she has never seen Mrs. Mu lose her temper like this.

Gu Yilan didn't know what Mu Hongshang had done wrong, she hurriedly ran into the house and knelt beside Mu Hongsheng, wanting to help and ask for a favor. However, before she could speak, she heard Mu Hongsheng, who was kneeling with her head bowed, say, "Grandmother, what you said is right, it is the granddaughter who is selfish. But...... I beg you to do it. ”

"Perfect! What am I accomplishing! Old Madam Mu directly picked up the teacup next to her hand and threw it to the ground, but in the end, she was not willing to smash her granddaughter, but smashed it to the side.

"You're my only granddaughter! Girl! How can I send my granddaughter to fight in the North! ”

"What?" Gu Yilan, who was kneeling beside Mu Hongsheng, straightened up suddenly, and grabbed Mu Hongsheng: "What do you want to do?" To the North? Not! Don't go! ”

"My surname is Mu." Mu Hongshang raised her head abruptly and looked at Mrs. Mu: "Grandmother, my surname is also Mu." My surname is Mu! Grandmother, I don't want to regret it anymore. ”

Old Madam Mu looked at her granddaughter's bright eyes with a sad expression, but she did not continue to lose her temper. In fact, she already knew that it was useless to say anything. Mrs. Mu knew her granddaughter, and after Jinyi went, she knew Hongshang's self-blame and unwillingness, she actually understood it, but she always chose to turn a blind eye and didn't dare to ask.

Old Madam Mu knew that she had actually been running away. She sometimes even comforts herself and thinks that after a long time, Hongsheng's sadness and unwillingness will slowly fade with time, and maybe her baby granddaughter will accept her fate like an ordinary girl, give up the struggle, and obediently stay in the capital and stay by her side.

But Mrs. Mu actually knew very well in her heart that she was deceiving herself. Hongsheng is her granddaughter! The child she raised with her own hands, she understands.

Old Mrs. Mu looked at Mu Hongsheng, sad and proud. This child has finally grown up, so beautiful, so smart, and brave, she is no worse than the boys in the family.
