Mu Qing followed the maid to the door of Mrs. Mu's room.

Even before he could enter the room, Mu Qing smelled a strong smell of medicine and intermittent coughing.

The maid pushed open the door, Mu Qing looked calm and followed him in.

Inside the room, Mrs. Mu sat half on the couch behind the bead curtain; because it blocked her vision, Mu Qing couldn't see her appearance clearly, and only saw a figure vaguely.

The maid took two steps forward and reported: "Old lady, the second lady is here."

After saying that, the room fell into a long silence.

Mrs. Mu did not speak, but Mu Qing vaguely felt her eyes seemingly looking at him through the bead curtain.

Mu Qing looked calm and still stood quietly, without any nervousness on her face.

After a long time, Mrs. Mu's slightly old and hoarse voice came from behind the pearl curtain, and she only heard her say, "Er girl, come in."

"yes."

Mu Qing nodded, then stepped forward and lifted the bead curtain and walked slowly in.

The room was silent, only the bead curtain swayed, making a crisp sound.

"Granddaughter pays me a blessing to my grandmother, and my grandmother will be happy and healthy."

Mu Qingfu got lucky and stood in front of the bed, lowered his head slightly, looking obedient and docile.

Mrs. Mu looked at her indifferently and said, "Raise your head and let me have a good look."

Upon hearing this, Mu Qing slowly raised his head and looked at Mrs. Mu calmly.

But I saw the old woman in front of me half-sitting on the couch. Although she looked sick on her face, her eyes were still full of energy and she was looking at herself carefully.

She was wearing a navy blue brocade robe, a jade bracelet, and a snow-white Persian cashmere blanket on her legs, which added a bit more luxurious; her head was covered with silver hair, her old face was covered with wrinkles, and her forehead was covered with pine green gems, which looked quite majestic.

Mu Qing looked at it and knew that Mrs. Mu must be a powerful lady with a strong personality and did not show kindness on her face. Her eyes could tell her cleverness. Even though she was over 70 years old, her mind was still clear.

After a while, Mrs. Mu then withdrew her gaze that looked at Mu Qing and said meaningfully: "The second girl has grown up. Not only has she changed her appearance, but her temperament seems to have changed as well."

Mu Qing smiled: "What my grandmother said is that people will change over time and the surrounding environment."

The expression on her face was still calm, and she smiled slightly at the corner of her lips, and she looked extremely docile.

Mrs. Mu felt unfamiliar when she saw Mu Qing like this and couldn't help but be stunned.

In her impression, this legitimate granddaughter was very timid and timid when she was a child. Whenever she faced herself, she always seemed at a loss, and she was not as friendly as Mu Weilan.

After Xie Ling'er passed away, Mu Qing suffered from dementia when he was nine years old.

Now, after five years, not only has the dementia cured, but when facing myself, my temperament seems to be very different from the time I used to be.

Mrs. Mu didn't say anything, and her shrewd eyes were still staring at Mu Qing and asked, "Er girl, let me tell you, how did you survive in the past five years? Since I left the ancient temple, why did I refuse to return to the Marquis' Mansion in the past few years?"

Mu Qing smiled faintly, knowing that Mrs. Mu was suspicious of her intention to suddenly return home.

Imagine that Mu Qing could not stand the harsh treatment of the nun, so he fled from the ancient temple.

But as the daughter of the Marquis' Mansion, she lived a poor life in the village for five years, and she never thought about returning to the Marquis' Mansion. Why did she return to the capital so suddenly this time?

"When I said my grandmother, when Mu Qing left the ancient temple, he was already penniless, so he had no choice but to go to Zhuangzi. Perhaps it was because of the mercy of God. A few days ago, he suffered from cold and became silly. Thinking that he had not returned to Beijing for many years and his parents were still alive, he always had to serve his parents in front of the hall, so he came back." Mu Qing said.

Her words were so clear that they could not find any flaws.

The daughter of the dignified Marquis's Mansion was young and was a fool, so she was probably suffering a little. But she didn't want to worry about her parents after she recovered from the illness, whether it was true or false, but these words were satisfying.

Mrs. Mu was in a difficult mood to distinguish. She was twisting a string of Buddhist beads in her hand, as if she was thinking about the authenticity of Mu Qing's words.

Mu Qing stood quietly, still maintaining a light smile on his face, neither looking close nor making people feel rude.

After a long time, Mrs. Mu said indifferently: "Anyway, it's good to come back." After that, he waved his hand and said: "Let's retreat first."

"Yes." Mu Qing nodded and left the inner room as he said.

After Mu Qing left, Mrs. Mu raised her eyelids, looked at the maid standing beside her, and asked, "Luzhu, what do you think of Ermei?"

This Luzhu looks handsome, wearing a white magnolia dress, and is the maid whom Mrs. Mu is very close to serving, and she is quite handsome.

When he heard Mrs. Mu ask this, he knew the deep meaning and smiled: "Mrs. Old lady, look at me, this second lady is a smart person."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Mu frowned and thought deeply, saying, "In the past five years, her temperament has been very different from before."

After Mu Qing returned to Haitangyuan, not long after, Mrs. Mu sent someone to send a box of silver notes and several pieces of brocade, water and clouds, which were excellent materials.

Qiuyu looked joyful and carefully locked the box and put it in the cabinet. She couldn't help but sigh: "Miss, you are really imagining things."

Mu Qing smiled: "This is all reasonable. I haven't returned to Beijing for five years, so the old lady will naturally express it."

"The old lady is so generous, she really loves girls." Qiuyu looked happy, thinking that if her own girl could be loved by the old lady, it would be easier to live in this Marquis' Mansion in the future.

"Silly Qiuyu, how can you think so simply?" Mu Qing shook his head with a smile.

Qiuyu was puzzled and asked, "If the old lady didn't love the girl, was it because of another reason?"

"The old lady will express something, maybe it's because of her own granddaughter." Mu Qing's smile on the corner of her lips became softer, and she said, "It's maybe it's because of the identity of the daughter of the Hou Mansion."

"I don't understand what the girl said."

Although Qiuyu looked a little confused, she didn't think too much, and just smiled and said, "I think as long as the girl lives a good life."

Mu Qing smiled and no longer explained too much.

The old lady's thoughts will definitely not be so simple.

Just now in Jinhua Hall, Mu Qing felt that just a few words were spoken, but the old lady's words were full of temptation.

The old lady would definitely be suspicious of that statement. If she was the real "Mu Qing", the old lady might believe it, but she was not.

A person's personality may change due to stimulation or due to the influence of the environment, but his personality will never be completely different from before.

Mu Qing knew that others might not be able to see it, but they could never hide it from the old lady.

Not only because of her personality change, but also because the old lady was suspicious of her sudden return to Beijing.

Mu Qing looked calm and thought that even if the old lady could notice some differences, it would be fine.

After all, she is now the real Mu Qing.
