Chapter 270 Not her biological mother?
"Sister didn't know early enough. It's just that sister has been suspicious all along. Didn't you notice that the words I used to trick her earlier could actually be used in any situation?" Mu Xin Nuan smiled, but a layer of coldness surged in her eyes. Liu Mama's confession had indeed greatly surprised her!
Mu Qingxuan was taken aback. "Sister, do you mean you didn't know this secret at all? You just guessed?"
The last two words were spoken with some uncertainty by Mu Qingxuan, and his voice rose slightly.
“That’s right!” Mu Xin Nuan nodded, then gestured for Mu Qing Xuan to sit down. “Does my little brother think it was too much for me to threaten her with the life of a toddler just now?”
Mu Qingxuan looked somewhat embarrassed. To be honest, when she said those words, he really felt that his sister had changed, that she was no longer kind or gentle. But after hearing what Granny Liu said, Mu Qingxuan could no longer think that way!
"Sister, should we ask Grandfather about this? Is what Granny Liu said really credible?"
At this moment, Mu Qingxuan's expression had calmed down considerably, and he was no longer so impulsive.
“Ah Xuan, Grandfather must know about this, but I think he doesn’t know it very well.”
“I never imagined that our grandmother wasn’t our biological grandmother. I always thought that my grandfather valued my grandmother so much that he never took a concubine. But I never expected that there was such a thing.”
"As the younger generation, we have now learned about a secret of our grandfather and the others. Do you think it's really a good thing?" Mu Xin Nuan had a slight smile on her face, not at all like someone who had just discovered a huge secret.
Mu Qingxuan was taken aback. Upon reflection, it made sense. They knew the secret that his grandfather had kept hidden all his life. If that were the case, wouldn't it make his grandfather feel ashamed?
"What about us?"
"Grandfather may not have known so clearly what happened back then. For example, this old lady Song personally killed our grandmother, Father's birth mother!"
Mu Qingxuan's heart skipped a beat. "Sister, what do you think we should do? How can we let Grandfather know the truth about what happened back then without making him feel like he's lost face in front of the younger generation? And most importantly, we also need to let Father and Mother know. We can't talk about filial piety with that vicious old woman anymore."
"Actually, the old lady was quite cautious in her actions throughout her life. Before she gave birth to her own child, she never did anything out of line to my father. Just now, I heard from Granny Liu that they had poisoned my father when he was a child. However, it was a coincidence that the poison was very cleverly administered, using some kind of food incompatibility method. It just so happened that my father's childhood friend, Zhao Qinghe, came from a family of doctors and saved my father many times."
"Sister, so if it weren't for that Lord Zhao's reminder, wouldn't Father have..." Mu Qingxuan suddenly felt a chill in her heart.
"Don't worry, it's not that bad." Mu Xin Nuan patted her younger brother's hand lightly. "Think about what Grandfather once told us. Father, like you, was also young when he came to live with him. As a result, Father lived in the front yard for many years. It seems that it wasn't so easy for Old Madam Song to find an opportunity to make a move later."
Mu Qingxuan was stunned for a moment, then realized, "Sister, do you mean that Grandfather was actually wary of her all along?"
“That’s right! Isn’t that what Granny Liu was saying? And think about how the old lady has made things difficult for our eldest son’s side these past few years. When has she ever gotten away with anything? Actually, I understand now. She just wants Second Uncle to stand up for him. She thinks Father is the legitimate son, so she’s getting more and more resentful. Especially seeing Father getting promoted and rising through the ranks smoothly, while her own son is getting worse every day, and even when he returns to the capital, he has to rely on others to have any face. She feels even more that it’s all Father’s fault.”
Mu Qingxuan nodded like a little adult, "That's right! She thinks that because Father is the eldest son and has been favored by Grandfather since childhood, and has been personally taught by him, everything Father has now should belong to Second Uncle!"
Mu Xin Nuan finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he had figured it out. She brought him here today because she felt that he was not too young anymore, and keeping some things from him might not be a good thing for him!
As a man, he must grow up and become independent one day. As the eldest son of his father's lineage, the responsibility he bears is far heavier than that of a man himself!
The prosperity of the Mu family, and the honor and disgrace of the entire eldest branch, all rested on his shoulders!
Mu Qingyuan seems to be a promising talent now, at least he hasn't been led astray by the old lady and Mu Xinyao! But who knows what the future holds? So, we can't have too much hope for him.
Mu Qingyang is only a few years old now. It will take at least ten years for him to grow up!
Therefore, Mu Xin Nuan wanted Mu Qing Xuan to know his situation and the burden on his shoulders as early as possible, and also to know that this woman was not entirely incompetent! For example, this Old Madam Song was able to kill their own grandmother silently, which shows her skill!
This was also to make Mu Qingxuan understand from a young age that not all women in this world are as devoted to him as she and his mother! There are plenty of women with malicious intentions!
Of course, with gentle women like her and his mother around, he wouldn't become completely terrified of women.
In fact, Mu Xin Nuan brought Mu Qing Xuan on this trip and it was indeed very fruitful. On the way back, Mu Qing Xuan's brows were tightly furrowed.
Mu Xin Nuan ignored him, simply leaning back on the couch and closing her eyes to pretend to sleep.
It wasn't until they were almost in the city that Mu Qingxuan cautiously glanced at her sister. She saw that her sister's curved eyebrows, though beautiful, seemed to hide a deep worry.
"Is there anything you're still worried about, sister?"
Mu Xin Nuan slowly opened her eyes. "I was thinking, if Father knew the truth, he might find it hard to accept. Should we think of a way to subtly hint at it to him?"
“This is naturally the safest approach. At least, it will prevent Father from becoming overwhelmed with emotion upon suddenly learning the truth.”
Both siblings understood that their father genuinely respected Madam Song and had indeed treated her as his own mother all these years. But now...
This biological mother is not only not his biological mother, but she is even his mother's killer. Such a huge difference would be unbearable for anyone!
