The wet nurse took the newborn away, and the atmosphere became awkward and silent again.
The Crown Princess yawned gracefully: "Hanhan, would you please be Yan'er's adoptive mother?"
What could Mu Yunhan say? Of course he smiled and agreed: "It's an honor."
The Crown Princess said with satisfaction: "Please ask Mrs. Meng to give them some guidance on the necessary preparations and related etiquette."
As the most popular person around the Crown Princess, Xifu immediately stepped forward to lead Mu Yunhan and Mrs. Meng to the next door: "Please also invite the two ladies to come with your servants."
When crossing the threshold, Mu Yunhan naturally stretched out his hand to support Mrs. Meng: "Careful where you step."
Mrs. Meng glanced at Mu Yunhan and sighed with a complicated expression when she saw that she was as steady as usual.
Along the way, Mu Yunhan always took half a step back from Mrs. Meng, respecting his elders, and did not mean anything like "the men of our two families are mortal enemies, so I must take the lead over you."
She has a graceful demeanor and a good sense of proportion. Combined with her appearance and manners, it is hard to dislike her.
Mrs. Meng couldn't help but feel a little fuzzy, her eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and her expression became more and more sad.
Waiting in the wing were a group of stewards of the Prince's Mansion. Most of them were carefully selected from the palace and had a perfect grasp of the relevant etiquette and rules.
So Mrs. Meng casually said a few words, and they all knew.
When these people exited, only Mu Yunhan, Mrs. Meng, and Grandma Yang and Da Mi were left in the room.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward again.
Mu Yunhan simply stood up and said goodbye: "I still have something to do at home, so I'll leave first. My stepmother, please come here."
Mrs. Meng turned the teacup and lowered her eyes: "Hanhan, have we really come to this point? There are no men here, just us two, we can always say a few words, right?"
Mu Yunhan paused and smiled good-naturedly: "What does the foster mother want to say? I listen to you."
Mrs. Meng raised her eyes: "Something happened this morning. Someone sued Meng for embezzling the official's property, and someone was killed for it."
Mu Yunhan's heart sank, and combined with what Gu Fenglin said last night, he thought that this was his revenge.
It is not polite to reciprocate. If you are hit, you must hit it back.
Since Meng Xiang threatened her with the secrets of Mu An and Mu Ying's life experiences, of course he also wanted to make a fuss about Meng's future.
How could a wealthy family, especially a man like Meng who took care of the affairs of the powerful, be completely innocent?
If Gu Fenglin dares to move, the evidence must be solid, and even more important people will be implicated.
For example, the deeply trusted Lu Jinni.
Mu An and Mu Ying, against Meng + Lu Jinni who are the same right-hand men, can be considered equal.
Or, both sides should stop, and the matter ends here.
Otherwise, the fish will die and the net will be broken, and no one will get anything.
But Mu Yunhan didn't want to break up with Mrs. Meng yet. She always remembered the tenderness this old woman gave her.
So she looked at Mrs. Meng and said in a very sincere tone: "Just now, my adoptive mother said that there are no men here, only us two, so let's just leave their affairs alone, okay?"
Mrs. Meng stared at her without blinking and shook her head slightly.
"No, Hanhan. I really treat you as my daughter, and I really love Sakura.
I also love Meng very much. He has grown up in front of my knees since he was a child, almost like a son."
