Shen Huaiting said with a smile: "You are also good-looking. Although you don't have the charm of the Wang family, you have the character of the Mu family. You are all equally beautiful."
Mu Yun'an was a little embarrassed by his praise, and she said: "My adoptive father's painting skills are really good. You are obviously talented but you became a monk. This is a great loss to Jiangshan Sheji."
Shen Huaiting said: "There is no loss. I am already old. Even if I are asked to fulfill my dream now, I am powerless."
Mu Yun'an said: "My foster father is immortal."
Shen Huaiting smiled slightly, looked at Mu Yun'an's belly and asked, "When will the child be born?"
Mu Yun'an said: "It will probably be in March next year."
It's already October, and the baby in her belly won't be born for another five months.
Shen Huaiting didn't know what he was thinking. He stood up and took out a brocade box from the cabinet and handed it to Mu Yun'an and said, "This is the hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum I picked in the mountains. You can take it back to replenish your health."
Mu Yun'an looked at the large Ganoderma lucidum in the box. It must have been hundreds of years old. She waved her hands and said, "This is too precious."
Shen Huaiting said: "This is a meeting gift from me to my daughter. If you don't accept it, you don't want to recognize me as your adoptive father?"
Mu Yun'an raised his head to look at Xiao Chengyi, and heard Xiao Chengyi say with a smile: "Since it is my foster father's heart, just accept it."
When Mu Yun'an heard this, she no longer refused. She accepted the brocade box and said, "Thank you, foster father."
Shen Huaiting said: "It is very dangerous for a daughter to have a baby. This Ganoderma lucidum is very beneficial. Your mother also suffered a lot when she gave birth to you, and it also caused the root of the disease.
After I found out about it, I searched for famous doctors for her. I heard that this hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum is good for women, so I went to search everywhere, but it was a pity that your mother was gone by the time I found it."
Mu Yun'an was shocked. It turned out that Shen Huaiting had done so much for her mother, which even her father had never done.
She said: "It's my mother. She doesn't have this blessing."
Shen Huaiting said: "It's not that your mother is not blessed. There is another hidden reason for her death. She didn't die of illness but was killed by someone."
"What?"
Mu Yunan was shocked: "My mother was killed?"
Shen Huaiting nodded: "After your uncle brought your mother back, the coffin was damaged, so I replaced your mother with a new coffin.
When I opened the coffin, I found something wrong with your mother's bones. Later, I secretly asked a doctor to do an autopsy, and it was confirmed that your mother did not die of illness, but was poisoned."
Mu Yun'an was startled: "He was poisoned to death? Who did it?"
Shen Huaiting shook his head: "It has been too long and there is no trace. I was shocked when I found out at the time. I really wanted to find out who killed your mother, but I was powerless.
I know your uncle's temper, and if I let him know, I'm afraid it will bring disaster to his life, so I kept this secret secretly, and neither your father nor your uncle knew about it."
Mu Yun'an thought carefully about who her mother had a grudge against back then, and after much deliberation there was only one possibility.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Xiao Chengyi say: "Maybe the eldest princess did it."
Mu Yun'an nodded: "The eldest princess liked my father and always wanted to marry him, so the person most likely to harm my mother must be the eldest princess."
She held her hand and gritted her teeth and said, "That vicious woman."
Xiao Chengyi patted her shoulder and said: "The eldest princess has received her retribution."
Mu Yun'an sniffed and said, "If my mother hadn't died young, I wouldn't have been raised crooked by Aunt Liu."
"Um."
Xiao Chengyi nodded: "If your mother-in-law taught you, you must be a qualified lady, obedient and sensible."
Mu Yun'an looked up at him and asked: "Then do you like someone who is well-behaved, sensible and obedient, or do you like me like this?"
