C178 Does It Have Anything to Do with You?

"Princess, Miss is so cute." Lingyue lifted her skirt and followed Mu Ruqing around. She always wanted to reach out and tease her.

"Shh." Mu Ruqing's eight teeth were revealed. Looking at the baby who was smacking his little mouth, her eyebrows curved up. "Don't disturb her."

Lingyue still followed by her left and right. Her hands were not empty and they were always in the air. She wanted to hug her but was afraid that she would overstep her status.

"Greetings, Princess." servant girl who just came out of Mrs Miao's room carried a basin of water and when she saw Mu Ruqing, she immediately bowed.

Mu Ruqing did not pay attention and directly entered the room.

"Qing. You are back? " Mrs Miao was half sitting on the bed, wearing a plain white brocade. Her face was pale and her eyes were slightly swollen.

"Mother." No matter what, Mu Ruqing was still greedy for the love Mrs Miao gave her. She carried the child and sat beside the bed, "You see, younger sister is like a mother."

"She is still so young, how can you tell?" Mrs Miao stared at Xiaoxiao and gently touched her with her fingers, overflowing with maternal love.

"Madam, it is time to take medicine." servant girl carried the medicine into the room and lowered her head very much.

"Give it to me." Mu Ruqing passed the child to Lingyue and did not forget to say a few words, "You better hug her properly and do not make her feel uncomfortable. Otherwise, I will punish you."

"En." Lingyue nodded her head and was so happy that she could not say anything.

Servant girl passed the medicine to Mu Ruqing and withdrew.

Mu Ruqing gently blew on it and turned to look at the wet nurse, "You guys can go down first."

"Yes." The wet nurse and the rest of servant girl all retreated and only Lingyue stood by the side with Xiaoxiao in her arms.

Mrs Miao's smile froze and did not know what Mu Ruqing's intention was. She was holding the cushion in her hands under the blanket.

"Mother, let daughter feed you. You need to recover your health during the month, otherwise it will not be good for your figure to take a seat." Mu Ruqing was as usual, but her eyebrows were tall and gave off a sense of oppression.

"Yes." Mrs Miao curled the corner of her mouth and did not smile.

"Mother, do you know why Xiangyi did not come?" Mu Ruqing's movements were slow and she needed to blow on the cool air with every breath.

Mrs Miao did not speak and her gaze towards her also changed. She no longer had the love in her eyes.

"She made a mistake." Mu Ruqing smiled happily and the corner of Mrs Miao's mouth overflowed. She used a handkerchief to slowly wipe it away for her, "Now she is locked in a small black room in the Imperial Residence. Lingyue said. She kept making noise and said that she saw something unclean and she was really becoming more and more impudent. Mother, she is still your person after all. What do you think my daughter should do with her?"

" Hehe. " Mrs Miao's smile was too fake, so fake that she did not believe herself, "Since I have sent myself to you, I will be your person. Since I have committed a mistake, I will punish you. There is no more than one servant."

"It is my daughter who is muddle-headed. Mother is right." Mu Ruqing stood up and put down the medicine bowl, "Mother, there is an interesting thing here. Do you want to hear it?"

" Oh, what interesting thing? "Mrs Miao's expression was much more natural, but her eyes would occasionally look at Xiaoxiao.

"When I was staying at an inn. The shopkeeper kept a cat and gave birth to four or five kittens. So cute. I'm willing to feed them, so I like to wander around outside my porch. One night, I was suddenly woken up by the meowing of cats. Open the door and take a look!" Mu Ruqing suddenly raised her voice, scaring Mrs Miao. Even the sleeping Xiaoxiao started to snore and Lingyue quickly shook her lightly. She did not wake up.

Mu Ruqing walked over and looked at the little eyelashes and could not help but be happy, "Mother, guess what daughter saw?"

Mrs Miao's hand was placed on her chin and there was an inexplicable feeling in her heart. She felt that Mu Ruqing was using a small trick to threaten her, "I could not guess."

"The mother cat bit one of her children to death and the kitten did not even close its eyes. Tears wet its fur. It did not know what pain was, what it was afraid of, but it still felt pain in its heart." Mu Ruqing pulled Mrs Miao's hand, "Mother, you said that the kitten is very beautiful. It didn't know why, but it was bitten to death by its own mother."

"Qing..." Mrs Miao's tone actually had a bit more sorrow.

"Mother, your hands are so cold." Mu Ruqing rubbed Mrs Miao's hands and pulled the blanket to cover her hands.

"It's fine." Mrs Miao gave a fake smile. Today Mu Ruqing always gave her a strange feeling and the conflict in her heart increased a little. She was clearly her daughter but why did she have to be so cautious? Perhaps, she was not?

"Then mother should rest well. I will bring Xiaoxiao to see grandmother." Mu Ruqing patted the blanket and the previous haze was swept away. She turned around and had a kind smile on her face.

"Why don't you give Xiaoxiao to the wet nurse?" Mrs Miao wanted to see for a while but still said it out loud, "Later when she is hungry, it will be very noisy. Don't disturb your grandmother's silence."

"Just let the wet nurse follow me. I think grandmother will be happy to see her too. Could it be that mother is worried about me?" This question revealed Mu Ruqing's thoughts. Does it have anything to do with you?

" If you say so, I am going to be angry. " Mrs Miao's eyebrows wrinkled. It would be better to say that she was really angry in her heart rather than pretending.

"It is my daughter's fault." Mu Ruqing blessed herself, "Then my daughter will go."

She brought Lingyue and Xiaoxiao out of the room and servant girl who was originally waiting in the room also came in. Mrs Miao gritted her teeth.

"Princess." Lingyue turned around to look at the room and passed Xiaoxiao to Mu Ruqing.

"This little thing is a little dishonest." Mu Ruqing stared at the little face and the corner of her mouth curled up.

The wet nurse followed behind and did not understand. Miss clearly slept very well, why did the Princess say that she was dishonest? Whatever Mistress says is what it is. After being a servant for so many years, this experience was still there.

The old lady's room was much more deserted than Mrs Miao's. Before she entered, she heard coughing sounds from inside.

"Grandmother." Before she went in, the sound first reached the old lady's ears. The old lady wanted to answer but could not stop coughing.

"Don't bring Xiaoxiao in, lest you get unlucky for this old lady." The old lady's voice was much older, carrying endless fatigue.

"Princess?" Lingyue asked and looked at Mu Ruqing's doubtful Xiaoxiao.

Mu Ruqing hugged her, "Since that is the case, wait for me outside."

"Yes." Everyone answered. The old lady's personal bodyguard, servant girl, came out to welcome Mu Ruqing, "Wang Fei."

"Grandmother, are you feeling better?" The light in the room was a little dim and the window curtains were covered by two layers.

The old lady covered her face and coughed dryly. Her eyes were filled with joy, but she could not put on a smile. "Sigh, I'm old now. That's all I can do."

"What are you talking about, Grandmother? I think it'll be fine tomorrow." Of course it would be better to say it. Mu Ruqing sniffled. The smell of the medicine in the room was very strong. The old lady's face was sallow. Her eyes were dull and there was only a layer of yellow skin on the back of her hand. Her illness seemed to have come from the moment she heard the news of Liu Feng Lan's death.

"This is the best. It's just that this is the last time I see you." The old lady waved at Mu Ruqing, her hands like dry firewood.

Mu Ruqing grabbed the old lady's hand and looked at the longing in the old lady's eyes. She could not bear to see her grandmother's love for her. Thinking about it, this grandmother's love for her was the most genuine.

"King Chu treats you well? Did he make you suffer?" The old lady missed her the most. She could only feel regret for Liu Feng Lan.

"Yes, he treats me very well. He only needs to pluck the moon."

"If that's the case, then I'll be at ease. In a woman's life, there is a husband who loves her. It's the happiest thing ever." At this point, the old lady seemed to recall the past. She had heard Mrs Miao mention it before. The old lady and her deceased grandfather supported each other until they grew old. They did not even have a single concubine.

"En."
