After hearing her assurance, Mu Xiong nodded with relief.
The three of them chatted for a while, and then Mu Qingge looked at Mu Lianrong and said, "Auntie, at first I suspected that there was something eavesdropping on Bai Xiyue, have you investigated it clearly?"
Mentioning this matter, Mu Lianrong hurriedly put away her smile and nodded solemnly: "This girl is hiding very deep. Your grandfather and I also planned it, and then we realized that she had a powerful treasure in her hands. Cut it into two. , as long as you place half of it anywhere, no matter how far away you are, you can still hear everything through the remaining half you carry with you."
Mu Xiong sighed: "Such a treasure is rare in the world. She has no ability to get it."
"The only possibility is that Prince Rui gave it to her." Mu Qingge said what he didn't want to say for his grandfather.
Among the three of them, the one with the most complicated feelings towards Bai Xiyue is probably Grandpa Mu Xiong. After all, Bai Xiyue's father died in the battle to save him. He has brought Bai Xiyue into Mu Mansion for many years, and he has always treated her as his own granddaughter without any debt.
Unfortunately, Bai Xiyue was too thoughtful and ignored the Mu family's good intentions and instead took refuge in Prince Rui.
This fact was difficult for Mu Xiong to accept, but he had to accept it.
Hearing his grandfather's sigh, Mu Qingge comforted him: "Grandpa, she is no longer a child. From the time she hid something from us, her heart is no longer with the Mu family. Everything now is hers. choice. Now I can tolerate her, in addition to taking into account grandpa's feelings for their Bai family, she has not really done anything to hurt the Mu family. But, if she is obsessed with it and does something to hurt the Mu family, I will never show mercy to negative things. Her own choice and any consequences should be borne by her."
Mu Xiong nodded understandingly and did not object to Mu Qingge's idea.
Mu Lianrong opened her mouth, as if she wanted to intercede. But seeing Mu Qingge's cold face, he couldn't say anything, only a sigh.
She admitted that Mu Qingge's words were right, but she felt very uncomfortable and tormented as she watched the girl she had brought up step by step go into the abyss.
Unfortunately, during this period, she had repeatedly hinted to Bai Xiyue not to get stuck in the mud, but she still went her own way.
Perhaps, as Mu Qingge said, you must bear the consequences of any choice yourself.
After finishing what he had to say, Mu Xiong said to Mu Qingge: "Ge'er, you have to go to the palace later and explain your return to His Majesty. In three days, it will be your crowning ceremony. Everything between me and you Auntie is ready. It’s just that I have wronged you."
After speaking, he patted Mu Qingge's shoulder guiltily.
"Grandpa, it's nothing. It's just a formality." Mu Qingge said nonchalantly.
The crowning ceremony is a major event for a man to come of age. If you want to entertain guests at a banquet, report it to the ancestral temple and write it into the family tree. But she is a woman, and she should have the gift of haircut. What should be worn is the hairpin, not the feather crown. But now, as a man, she can only act according to men's etiquette.
Invisibly, Mu Qingge was deprived of everything he should have. How could Mu Xiong and Mu Lianrong not feel guilty
Mu Lianrong pulled Mu Qingge and said, "Auntie knows that you don't like trouble, so the ceremony won't be too complicated. When the day comes, just be patient. Once you've dealt with it, it's over."
Mu Qingge nodded.
After leaving the ancestral hall, when Mu Qingge returned to Chi Yunyuan, the two girls, Youhe and Huayue, had already sorted out the rooms that had been vacant for a long time. The luggage brought back was arranged, and everything seemed as if Mu Qingge had never left.
