“Why? What I said is true, so you don’t know what to say at all, right?” Mei Shu sneered and took a step forward. She raised her hand to push away Mei Mu, who was about to say something, stood in front of the elderly lady and suddenly roared, “Speak!”
The elderly lady was taken aback by her words and her shoulders trembled before she said, “I, I have nothing to say to a little girl like you! Is this the way you talk to me? No matter what, I’m your elder!”
“Since you’re an elder, have you ever been as kind to a junior as an elder should be?”
Mei Shu raised her eyebrows and looked at her playfully. She changed the topic and said, “Oh, I forgot. Of course you have, but it’s just for Mei Mu.”
With that said, she glanced at her good sister.
Mei Mu trembled and apologized very quickly. “Sister, I’m sorry. I didn’t know that you and your brothers had been treated so unfairly for so many years, but I really didn’t mean to snatch your grandmother’s love. As you said just now, this is what your grandmother thinks. If you and your brothers feel that it’s unfair, 1 will try to give in to you and make it up to you.”
“You don’t know?” Even Mei Feng couldn’t stand it anymore. He sneered and said, “Why don’t you blush when you say that?”
Mei Mu lowered his head in shame and continued to apologize. “Xiao Feng, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. I’m willing to correct myself and make it up to you in the future. Can you give me another chance?”
She said it pitifully and sincerely. The servants who had a good impression of her recently immediately felt pity for her.
Mei Shu saw their expressions and felt even more amused.
“Mumu, why are you apologizing to them? This has nothing to do with you.” The elderly lady was still trying to speak up for Mei Mu.
“Granny, 1 beg you. Let this matter go. Dad is coming back soon. He’s already very tired from working hard outside every day. Let’s not let him worry about his family anymore.” Mei Mu sobbed in the elderly lady’s ear.
The elderly lady patted her hand in her heart.
Mei Mu was giving her a way out.
She had lost face in front of everyone today, and she didn’t want to continue to entangle with Mei Shu, so she went with the flow and said, “You’re the sensible one. That’s exactly why I’ve doted on you for so many years. You’re indeed ten thousand times stronger than some people. Let’s go back to my room to talk.”
At this moment, she was still talking to Mei Shu arrogantly, but she was much more restrained than before. She probably knew that Mei Shu was not to be trifled with and didn’t want to have a head-on conflict with her again.
The two of them supported each other up the stairs, looking pitiful as if they were the ones who had been wronged.
Little did he know that everything was caused by the elderly lady insulting Bai Ling for no reason.
“Sister, this Mei Mu is not as easy to deal with as before!”
After everyone dispersed, Mei Yan ran to his sister and reminded her in a low voice.
Needless to say, Mei Shu also felt the change in Mei Mu.
However, they still had the upper hand.
Mei Shu smiled disapprovingly and said, “Don’t worry too much. Let’s do what we should do step by step. However, Xiao Jing’s words today reminded Mei Mu. If she really knows what happened back then, I’m afraid she will try her best to stop us from continuing our investigation.”
Mei Feng nodded in agreement. “That’s right. If Mei Mu knows what Wang Yue did back then, she will definitely be alarmed. We have to be more careful in the future. Don’t let her find a chance to help Wang Yue overturn the case.”
Mei Jing finally calmed down and realized that he had misspoken just now. He blushed and said, “I’m sorry. I spoke too fast just now, but 1 will definitely keep my mouth shut and never mention anything in front of Mei Mu!”
“That’s good.” Mei Shu was relieved.
Mei Yun was busy today. After receiving a call from a servant at home, he hurriedly finished his work and rushed home. However, he was relieved to see Mei Shu tutoring his younger brothers.
A smile finally appeared on Mei Yun’s tense face. “Have you all eaten?”
“Yes, Daddy, Butler Zhao has been saving your share for you. Go eat.” Mei Shu took the time to look up and answer him before continuing to explain the questions to Mei Jing.
When Mei Yun passed by them, he asked casually, “Where are Mumu and Granny? Why don’t I see them?”
Mei Jing secretly rolled his eyes and said, “Mei Mu helped Granny back to her room to rest.”
“Then I’ll go see them first.” Mei Yun took off his suit coat and handed it to Butler Zhao. Then, he wanted to go upstairs, but halfway through, he suddenly stopped and personally went to the kitchen to pour a cup of warm milk for each of them. He instructed them to finish it as soon as possible before walking upstairs again.
Upstairs, the room specially prepared for the elderly lady was unlatched. Mei Yun could hear the conversation inside from the door..
