Chapter 174: My Head Is Buzzing
On the third day of the first lunar month, after breakfast, Mu Sheng took Mu Jinyan to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion.
On the way, he asked Mu Jinyan: "Do you have fun every time you stay at your grandparents' house?"
He had never paid attention to these details before. In his opinion, the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion and his son were natural allies of interests. The Dingyuan Marquis Mansion would definitely treat him well, and there would definitely be no problem in the general direction.
However, after two days of baptism, he felt that he still needed to understand more.
Mu Jinyan babble: "Sometimes I'm happy, sometimes I'm not."
"When will you be happy?"
“It’s fun hanging out with my grandpa, uncle, aunt and brother.”
“When are you unhappy?”
"Not happy with my grandmother."
"why?"
"My grandmother herself is unhappy. She always sighs and sighs non-stop, saying that my mother had a miserable life and died early. She also said that my mother is not my mother, but my stepmother, and that if she has her own son in the future, she will not like me. She also said that if my father has a new child in the future, he will not like me either."
Mu Sheng suppressed his anger and asked him, "So what do you think?"
Mu Jinyan bared her teeth: "She is talking nonsense."
Mu Sheng was immediately happy: "How did you know?"
"My mother said so. She said I have two mothers. One is the mother who gave birth to me. She loves me very much and hopes that I am happy every day. I am the treasure she exchanged her life for. The other is the mother who raised me. She also loves me very much and hopes that I am happy every day. My mother said that anyone who whispers in my ear that my parents will dislike me in the future is lying. She said that I am so cute, it is impossible for anyone not to like me."
Mu Sheng twitched his lips and tapped his forehead. "Your mother is right. You are a cute little brat. Your mother and I both like you and we definitely like you."
"So when will I have brothers and sisters? I want to be a big brother."
Mu Sheng: "...It depends on God's will. If there is, there is. If there is not, there is not. There may be one, or there may be two, three, or four."
Mu Jinyan: "Wow! So many!"
"Maybe! I said maybe. There's also a possibility that there isn't. Don't just listen to the latter part."
After a two-second pause, Mu Sheng asked him again: "Why do you want to be a brother?"
"My cousin just wants to be a big brother. He hopes that my aunt will give him a brother or sister as soon as possible."
"He hopes?"
"It's my grandmother. She nags about my aunt all the time, and my aunt is sometimes unhappy. My cousin hopes that my aunt will give birth to a younger brother, so that my grandmother will stop nagging and my aunt will not be unhappy."
Mu Sheng asked him quietly, "Did your grandmother mention it?"
"No."
When the father and son arrived at the marquis's mansion, they only saw Xie Lang with an apologetic look on his face, and Xie An with a happy face.
As soon as the two brothers met, they held hands and went to play, leaving Xie Lang and Mu Sheng to talk.
Xie Lang smiled bitterly, "My father has taken my mother to live in another courtyard. It was my mother who was not considerate before. Please apologize to my aunt on my behalf. I will visit them in a few days and apologize in person. And as for Princess Yongning, please say a few good words for us."
Mu Sheng smiled and said, "Father-in-law was much more decisive this time."
Xie Lang cupped his hands: "...As a son, I dare not say too much about the elders' affairs. Please be magnanimous and let it go this time."
"My wife didn't take the palace banquet seriously and didn't tell me when she got home. She didn't know what happened on the morning of the second day of the New Year. I heard it from my mother. Xie Lang, we have known each other for many years. You should know who I am and who my parents are. If you are worried that Ah Yan will be wronged, there is no need to worry."
Mu Sheng's expression became serious, and he continued, "Besides, I've been married for more than half a year, you should be able to see how Ah Yan is doing. It's totally unreasonable for you to target Yun Xi like this. If they fall out because of you, is it a good thing for Ah Yan?"
"Also, on the way here just now, I asked Ah Yan what he usually talked about with his grandmother. He told me that his grandmother always told him that his parents would no longer like him if they had a new child. Is it appropriate for her to say this to a child? What if the child listens to it and becomes disengaged with us in the future? Do you think this will be good for him?"
Xie Lang looked ashamed and said, "I hope that their move to the other courtyard this time will help her change her temper."
He smiled bitterly again and asked Mu Sheng: "Guess why Dalang is so happy today?"
Mu Sheng: "...Isn't it because my mother-in-law is not at home?"
"That's right. My mother keeps nagging us to have another child. Ayuan is under a lot of pressure and has not been happy in the past few years. She wanted me to take a concubine before, but my father and I dissuaded her. Recently, she brought up the old matter again. Speaking of which, the stupid things my mother did these two days turned out to be a blessing in disguise for me. My father took her to the other courtyard, and Ayuan and I can breathe a sigh of relief."
Mu Sheng didn't know what to say.
That day, he and Xie Lang drank a lot of wine and listened to him complain about his troubles that day, including a lot of issues related to mother-in-law and daughter-in-law conflicts, inducing childbirth, and taking concubines.
When he got home, Mu Sheng's head was buzzing.
He knew that Xie Lang's complaints were genuine, and that he was really showing weakness and showing his intimacy in this way. It was a little deliberate, but he still had some sympathy for Xie Lang.
He felt that fighting was less stressful and that he could just swing his sword and be done with it.
Mu Sheng and Mu Jinyan sighed: "Your grandmother is less of a worry to me."
Mu Jinyan nodded his little head to show his agreement.
Children are very sensitive to people's emotions, and he felt that his grandmother and mother were the closest and kindest to him. Although his grandmother was also very kind to him, she was always a little weird.
He didn't like spending time with his grandmother. Every time he went to stay at his grandmother's house, he would try to stay with his cousin and aunt. But his grandmother would always call his cousin over to talk, so he had to go along. He would just listen to her complaining about this and that. In her eyes, there were no good people in the world.
The key is that she can't tell what's wrong with the other person.
Xie An whispered to him, "Don't listen to these words. These are all grandma's conjectures. There is no evidence. It takes too much time to guess like this all day long. People will be confined to a small box and can't jump out even if they want to."
When the father and son returned home, they first sent Mu Jinyan back to the upper room, said hello to his grandparents, and then asked the nanny to take him back to his room to rest.
Only after his son left did he tell his parents about the situation in the Marquis' Mansion.
The old general nodded and said, "It seems that he is not senile yet."
The old lady smiled and said, "It depends on how long he can hold on."
After chatting for a few more words, Mu Sheng returned to his yard. As soon as he entered the door, he heard Mu Jinyan and Yun Xi laughing.
Mu Sheng: “???”
He entered the room and saw two people sitting on the couch playing the hand-slapping game.
"Didn't you go back to rest? Why are you here?"
Mu Jinyan smiled and said, "I haven't come to greet my mother since I got home. This is wrong."
Daddy asked the nanny to take him back to his room, so he asked the nanny to bring him to his mother.
Mu Sheng: "... Brat."
Yun Xi said: "How can you talk like that? How are we smelly? Our Ah Yan smells good, you are the one who stinks."
Mu Jinyan agreed: "Yes, Daddy is the one who stinks."
He leaned close to Yun Xi's ear and said, "It really stinks."
Yun Xi: "..."
She moved closer to Mu Sheng and smelled alcohol.
"Wow! Go take a shower and change your clothes."
Yun Xi waved her hands in disdain, and Mu Jinyan rolled around on the couch laughing. The kid had a low sense of humor, and you never know which words would make him laugh and unable to stop.
Mu Sheng hurried to take a shower and change clothes. If it doesn't stink, you can deliberately make trouble with them, but if it really stinks, you can't get close to them.
You still need to pay attention to your personal image.
