Chapter 199: 199: Wang Yuan is a good mother

Don’t be fooled by Wang Yuan being so puzzling sometimes, but just by her sincere willingness to sacrifice everything for her children, it’s enough to prove she’s a good woman!

After all, Murong was raised by her own hands. No matter how rebellious that kid gets, she still knows what style of clothing he likes, and picking those flamboyant, flashy ones is definitely not wrong.

"Mom, isn’t this too pink?" Mu Bai looked at the color her mom picked, feeling a toothache.

He’s a brother, not a sister, way too pink!

Wang Yuan snorted: "What do you know? Your brother looks good in this, and besides, he likes it."

Mu Bai stopped giving opinions: "Then mom, you’d better not ask me for advice. My views are completely different from my brother’s."

"He’s your own brother," Wang Yuan frowned and hurried to educate, "As a sister, how can you not understand your own brother? Instead of running around all day, why don’t you spend more time on your brother and get to know him better."

"Mom... it’s getting late!" Mu Bai feared that her mom would go on endlessly, so she quickly spoke up.

"Oh right, it’s getting late. You didn’t remind me earlier. Look at how much time I’ve wasted. I still need to pick up your brother later, and I don’t know if I’ll have time to stop by the beauty salon..."

"Mom, that’s not necessary, right? If you’re worried, let Auntie Grandmother put on makeup for you on the way, and I guarantee you’ll be a hundred times more beautiful than before."

Mu Qiuniang raised her eyebrows upon hearing this: It seemed she hadn’t agreed, right?

Mu Bai quickly made a pleading expression: Auntie Grandmother, I beg you!

Mu Qiuniang: Considering you’re doing this out of filial piety to your mom, I agree!

Mu Bai smiled: Thank you, Auntie Grandmother!

Jiang Nuo felt a bit jealous and turned Mu Qiuniang’s face towards him: "Honey, if you’re going to throw glances or whatever, just direct them at me. As for silent understanding, it’s important to have it with your husband, not anyone else."

Mu Bai was speechless: Auntie, Uncle-in-law, is it necessary?

In that one moment, Wang Yuan had already decided on Murong’s outfit: "Alright, this one then!"

In Wang Yuan’s view, since her son was injured, if he wasn’t going to the hospital, he should be in a nursing home, or at home with a dedicated caregiver.

But she never thought that her son would be living alone in an empty old house.

Although the house looks antique, well-maintained, with both electricity and water, it’s still an old house.

"Xiaobai, is your brother really living here?" As soon as she reached the door, Wang Yuan started doubting it.

"Yes, he lives alone here." Mu Bai replied.

"You’re still injured yourself, and he’s living alone here, and you’re not worried? What if there’s an accident?" Wang Yuan complained a bit, but didn’t dare to blame Mu Qiuniang directly, so she could only express it to her daughter.

"Mom, don’t worry, Auntie Grandmother won’t let A’rong have any trouble. I’ve lived in such an old house before. It looks like it’s just one person living there on the surface, but secretly someone’s taking care of everything. Otherwise, do you think your precious daughter can really live independently?" Mu Bai put her arm around her mother’s shoulder and led her inside.

"You’ve lived here too? It wasn’t hard on you, was it?" Wang Yuan glanced at Mu Qiuniang and whispered to Mu Bai, "This Auntie Grandmother seems very simple-minded, probably a person who takes things literally. If you just follow her lead a bit more in the future, you’ll save yourself from some trouble."

Mu Bai was somewhat surprised. She always thought her mom wasn’t good at reading people, but now she realized she sized up Auntie Grandmother quite accurately.

It seems, mom is not incapable of reading people, she just only pays attention to the important ones, one is dad, the other is Auntie Grandmother.

"Mm, I got it, mom."

She used to think her mom was good for nothing other than marrying a good man. But now she feels that actually, her mom has many merits, like truly loving them, these children.

Mu Bai felt that compared to those children who are treated as commodities by their parents for arranged marriages, having a mom who dearly loves her is really fortunate! Although, sometimes, this mom also gives her quite a headache.

When they went in, Murong was leisurely reading on a lounge chair in the courtyard.

"Mom, why are you here?!"

Seeing Mu Qiuniang and the others, he wasn’t surprised at all, but seeing his own mom Wang Yuan, he was very surprised, directly standing up with a look of disbelief.

"Why can’t I come?" Wang Yuan said with her mouth, but her eyes were already glued to their son, wanting to examine him thoroughly.

A few days ago, he was lying in bed with broken arms and legs, and now, not only can he walk around, he looks like he hasn’t been injured at all?

"A’rong, where are your injuries? Are you all better?" She pulled and examined Murong thoroughly.

"Mom, I healed a long time ago. With Auntie Grandmother taking charge, what are you worried about?" Murong, almost stripped of his clothes, felt that with so many people here, wasn’t mom afraid her son would expose too much?

He turned to Mu Bai for help.

Auntie Grandmother’s demeanor is too cool, as long as you don’t cross her line, she’ll directly pretend not to see. Asking her for help would be useless, and the other man is a clearly unfamiliar person; hence, the only one he could seek help from was his sister.

"Ahem! Mom, A’rong’s injuries healed a long time ago. You can rest assured. Didn’t you bring a new set of clothes for brother? Quickly let him try them on. If they don’t fit, we still have time to change them." Mu Bai said.

"Yes, hurry up and try. Tonight is your grandfather’s birthday banquet, you must dress up beautifully and go; don’t make your grandfather upset."

"Yes, mom, I’ll change right away." Murong quickly escaped.

While Wang Yuan wasn’t paying attention, Mu Qiuniang waved her hand behind her, and immediately a tea table appeared there, with tea fragrance wafting, the snacks were kept hot, and there were several chairs.

"Please have a seat." Mu Qiuniang said.

Wang Yuan was a bit puzzled. Was this tea table here when she came in? Or did she not notice it?

Seeing her mom’s puzzlement, Mu Bai wanted to cover her mouth to stifle her laughter. Hahaha... That’s Auntie Grandmother’s spell!

But since she couldn’t reveal it, she had to hold it back.

Jiang Nuo saw this, and sneakingly hooked his finger at Mu Qiuniang, giving her a "let’s secretly laugh" look.

Mu Qiuniang was very calm, directly pretending not to see, sitting down and elegantly performing her tea ceremony. Indeed, Mu Qiuniang had practiced her tea ceremony from a young age under professional guidance, so naturally, she moved with fluidity and grace, and when combined with the serene and elegant surrounding environment, it carried a unique charm.

Even someone like Wang Yuan, who didn’t understand tea, instantly felt her heart lighten and calm, feeling exceedingly comfortable.

From lighting incense to dispel idle thoughts, washing cups to remove worldly dust, cooling water in jade vessels to nurture harmony, tossing tea to welcome beauty, moistening tea with heavenly dew to nourish the lotus heart, pouring water as Phoenix nods thrice, brewing tea as jade sinks into a clear river, serving tea as Guanyin cradles a jade bottle, to appreciating tea as spring waves unfurl flags, and finally savoring tea where subtlety reflects in flavor, and thanking tea by self-serve with endless joy, while artfully performing tea, Mu Qiuniang explained each step.

Her voice was clear and light, pleasing to the ears, and her graceful actions pleased the eyes, leaving Wang Yuan full of admiration.
