Concubine Shi rebuffed defiantly, "Sister, I don't like what you are saying. Even though the eldest young master has formidable cultivation, that does not an he has accurate judgnt! Does he have evidence to prove that the girl he encountered in the Divine Province is the who grew outside our Mu Clan?"
"Your randomly finding two people is proof?" Mu Qingya said nonchalantly, "Because you don't have brains, you think that other people don't either?"
"My lord!" Concubine Shi imdiately pouted and acted like she dared not resent the lady of the house. She pulled a handkerchief out from her sleeve and dabbed at her eyes. She explained with sobs, "This concubine has taken great pains to inquire from many places for the sake of this family. After I finally brought back our family's miss with great difficultly, Madam still spins a tale out of it about ."
"Alright." Mu Jingfeng finally broke his silence and stood up. "You take care of this yourselves. You do not need to tell about these matters concerning the inner chambers."
Mu Jingfeng strode out of the main hall and did not even spare a glance to the young lady kneeling on the floor.
The old woman kneeling behind the young lady stealthily frowned. She furtively looked up and exchanged glances with her son.
Concubine Shi chuckled and looked provokingly at Mu Qingya. "Madam, then… since the lord has given the word, will Madam please arrange a courtyard for the miss to stay in."
It turns out that this daughter who grew up outside was not that important in the lord's heart.
Ridicule flitted across Shi Huixin's eyes.
Mu Qingya looked at her coldly and then turned her gaze toward the woman cowering on the floor.
"What is your na?"
"Qiao… qiao, Qiaoqiao."
"Her na is Mu Qiao." Shi Huixin chid in, "Madam, you can just call her Qiaoqiao."
After half an hour.
The old woman returned back to the small courtyard that Madam Mu temporarily arranged with her son and that young lady.
Even though it looked extrely ordinary, the silks and satins, as well as the decoration in the courtyard and the rooms, simply dazzled the trio's eyes.
The three of them had never stayed in such a fine courtyard in their life. They quickly entered the room.
The old woman imdiately started crying out, "Ah, Chun, Cong'er, the good days have co now!"
"Mom, I say you're being too risky! What if they find out that you had Sister pretend to be as Qiao Mu? They are such an influential family. Even if they squeeze us to death like ants, we have no one to reason with…"
The old woman covered up her son's clamors.
"What are you babbling about." The old woman secretively hid behind the door and looked outside. When she saw that there luckily were no servants inside the courtyard, she heaved a sigh of relief. She smacked her son's arm. "This concerns your sister's future happiness and life. I'm telling you, keep a tight lid on this loose mouth of yours. Don't be babbling wherever."
"Yingchun, don't be scared. I reckon that we'll be successful!" The old woman's small eyes shone brightly. "Besides, it's not like we wanted to co ourselves. It's that Concubine Shi who brought you back. Even if there are any problems, they themselves recognized the wrong person. It has nothing to do with us."
Qiao Yingchun wrung her handkerchief nervously and said, "But, but that sixth sister, that Mu Rouyun, said that I look old when she saw today."
