In the hall of the ancestral residence, smiles broke out all over his face.

Because of Murong Qian's arrival, the lifeless ancestral home became more lively. With just a few words, the old lady couldn't stop laughing. Furthermore, she gave the hairpin that Qu Ruo gave her to Murong Qian. It showed how much he loved this little girl from the Mu Rong family.

"Ta ta ta …" The sound of leather shoes suddenly drifted into everyone's ears. When Qu Ruo walked in expressionlessly, the atmosphere in the hall became extremely cold because of this undesirable face of ice cubes.

The old lady was slightly embarrassed and paused for a moment. Then, she waved her hand, signaling Qu Ruo to sit beside her.

"Grandma, I still have some matters to attend to. I'll come over to see you again this weekend."

Then, he turned his head to Mu Rong Zhan and nodded his head. Qu Ruo looked at him and was about to signal him to leave when he heard the sound of the old lady hitting the table heavily.

Upon seeing this, Murong Qian quickly pulled the old lady's arm and consoled her in a low voice, telling her not to be angry.

Nanny Rong, who was at the side, also interrupted, "Young Master Qu, please wait for a moment. It's not easy to come back, just stay with the old lady for a few more minutes."

Look, your sister is several years younger than you, so she's much more sensible than you. Ruo, you're not allowed to leave first.

Qu Ruo was helpless in his heart. Although he was unwilling, he was, after all, the guest was here, so he couldn't show it. His slender body leaned back on the sofa leisurely.

"Old granny, please take more responsibility. Qu Ruo must be busy at the company. It's rare to see such an outstanding young man." Madam Mu Rong was right in time to speak on Qu Ruo's behalf. Her well-maintained face had a stiff smile on it. These words were a bit too obvious to flatter.

Actually, Old Granny and Madam Mu Rong's intentions were very clear. They wanted to make the match between Murong Qian and him.

Nanny Rong stood at the side. She must have received the old lady's order beforehand and purposely said, "Miss Murong, you've come. Our old lady is overjoyed. If only you could stay here forever."

Qu Ruo was leaning lazily on the sofa. He wanted to send a message to Bai Yaoyao, but he didn't know what to reply. No matter what he said, that woman probably wouldn't believe him.

Her hostility towards him was just that great.

"Drifting water, how old are you this year?" The old lady was full of joy as she looked at the girl in front of her. She seemed to love her so much.

Murong Qian smiled adorably and personally poured a cup of tea for the old lady. From the looks of it, she had practiced the art of pouring tea for a long time.

"Grandma, Qian is twenty-one this year."

The old lady looked at Murong Qian with a more and more affectionate gaze. "How old is the girl in the country?" she asked. Our Huaxia is a girl of twenty, and a boy of twenty-two.

Madam Mu Rong smiled gently when she heard this. Her eyes were filled with the joy of a good thing coming to an end. She interrupted, "S Country should be earlier. A girl can obtain her certificate at the age of eighteen."

"Oh, oh, then that's just right. Ruo, even now, you still don't have a girlfriend. In that case, I think the two of them can try to get along with each other for a while. A perfect age, standing together."

Nanny Rong also quickly agreed with the old lady with a smile, "That's right, old lady. I think that Young Master Qu and Miss Murong really look like husband and wife."

Murong Qian immediately lowered her head like a shy little flower and coquettishly sat next to Madam Mu Rong. She showed off her innocent appearance to the fullest extent of her ability.

Qu Ruo couldn't help but sneer.

He took a box from Nuo and said, caught off guard, "Nanny Rong, you should be more concerned about my mother's room when you're free. It seems like you haven't had the servants clean up the room yet."

Originally, the atmosphere had reached its climax due to Nanny Rong's words, but Qu Ruo's words were like a bucket of cold water, immediately extinguishing everyone's interest.

Nanny Rong also felt guilty, because it was true that the old lady didn't like the madam even when she was alive. Even after she died, Young Master Qu had built a room for her to clean up after leaving behind so much jewelry. Plus, the old lady didn't like it at all.

However, as a housekeeper and a servant, how could she say that the old lady forbade it? Moreover, it was in front of an esteemed guest.

Therefore, he immediately lowered his head to admit his mistake: "Young Master Qu, I'm in the wrong. I've been lazy these few days, I'm willing to accept the punishment."

The atmosphere in the hall immediately cooled down, and no one said a word.

"It's nothing, just pay more attention in the future. For cleaning, it can be changed to once a week, but if you lose my mother's things in the future, Nanny Rong, you should know my temper …"

Qu Ruo threw the box onto the table. Nanny Rong quickly broke out in a cold sweat and picked up the box. Opening the box, she found out that it was the most precious necklace that the lady had ever owned.

"Young Master Qu, I'm sorry, I'm sorry …" This... "How can this be …"

"Why is it in my hands? You should ask yourself? From now on, we will eat snacks! "

Qu Ruo's expression turned darker. He only said a few simple words and didn't say anything else. He raised his head and gave Nanny Rong a stern look.

Nanny Rong's heart shuddered as she met the old lady with a pair of panicked eyes.

The old lady frowned but didn't say anything. She then turned her head and started to talk to the Mu Rong family's old woman in a friendly manner.

Nanny Rong then bowed towards Qu Ruo and carefully ran upstairs with the loud box in her hands.

Nuo snickered on the side. Young Master Qu was really good. This could be considered as the punishment for talking too much with Nanny Rong.

Also, wasn't Young Master Qu's attitude obvious enough? It was clear that she had no interest in this young mistress of the Mu Rong family. Nanny Rong had even helped to arrange the match, so if he didn't use her, he wouldn't be able to do anything to her.

It was not known how long it had been, but it was the first time Qu Ruo almost fell asleep due to boredom on the sofa. He looked at his watch impatiently; it was getting late, and he didn't know if the woman in the house had taken the medicine obediently or had drunk the water obediently.

It was at this moment that the old lady stood up. Madam Murong and Murong Qian also stood up.

The servant brought Murong Qian's bow over, and the old lady shouted, "Yes!"

"Yes, old lady!"

"Come on, this is a shallow bow. Take it and follow Ruo back. Wait for the weekend, then bring Qian Chao here for dinner."

Nuo was alarmed and her extended hand stopped in mid-air. "..."
