After walking into the courtyard, Mu Yanming couldn't help frowning. In fact, he had noticed something was wrong when he followed them here just now.
But it wasn't until he stepped into the courtyard that his doubts were confirmed.
"This is not your previous residence. As the legitimate daughter, why did you move here?" Mu Yanming said unhappily. After speaking, he looked at Lady Lan who was following behind.
Hearing this, Lady Lan was so scared that her teeth chattered. Many years ago, Mo Qinghuan had been driven to this courtyard. The large courtyard where she, as the legitimate daughter, used to live had long been arranged by Lady Lan for her own daughter. Now that Mu Yanming mentioned it, Lady Lan also remembered that many years ago, when the general was still alive, a mysterious old man had brought in a little boy full of hostility.
Could it be Mu Yanming...
Hearing Mu Yanming's question, Mo Qinghuan timidly looked at Lady Lan. Lady Lan glared at her fiercely for acting.
"Your Highness, you may not know that actually..."
Lady Lan stepped forward past Bai Ke. "Your Highness, you may not know that during that period when the master had an accident, Qinghuan always said..."
When she mentioned Mo Qinghuan's name, Mu Yanming glared at her with a gloomy face. Lady Lan quickly changed her words.
"During that period, Her Highness the Princess always said that she was afraid to live in such a large courtyard alone, so she moved here. She has been living here for many years. It's all my fault for being negligent. For so many years, I forgot to ask Her Highness the Princess if she wanted to move back to her previous courtyard."
Mu Yanming looked at Mo Qinghuan, and Mo Qinghuan was still trying hard to recall the remaining memories of the original owner. Finally, she remembered that the key was not buried in the current courtyard, but in the previous courtyard after her father's death.
Later, Lady Lan drove her to this small courtyard, and when they investigated the whereabouts of the key, they only searched this courtyard.
"Do you want to move back to your previous courtyard?"
Mu Yanming looked into her eyes and asked for her opinion.
Mo Qinghuan gave a bitter smile. "Of course I will move back, but I don't like the place where others have lived. So I want to renovate it first."
Hearing that Mo Yao would be moved out of the legitimate daughter's courtyard, Lady Lan quickly forced a smile and stepped forward to curtsy. "Your Highness the Princess, since you are already married to the Regent's Mansion, it's a waste to renovate the courtyard. How about just keeping it as it is?"
Mu Yanming let out a cold snort. "Keep it as it is? Hmph, does the general's wife mean that the concubine daughter should live in a courtyard of the legitimate daughter's standard? If I come back to stay in the general's mansion with the princess in the future, should I also stay in this shabby small courtyard?"
Mu Yanming's voice was cold, and there was not much emotional fluctuation in each sentence. But precisely because of this, it was easy to make people feel a great sense of oppression.
The smile on Lady Lan's face froze, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.
Mo Qinghuan walked up to Lady Lan and stuffed a small bottle into her hand. "Clean it up as soon as possible. Remember, let Mo Yao do the packing herself, and make sure it's clean."
The smile on her face was not very obvious. Looking closely, it had a kind of eerie feeling.
Lady Lan tightened her grip on the small bottle in her hand. She knew that they had to move today.
So she nodded in agreement.
"Your Highness, let's go back to the mansion." After saying that, she reached out to hold Mu Yanming's hand, and gently scratched the palm of his hand with her fingernail.
"I'll arrange people to come and protect the general's mansion as soon as we get back today. Madam can rest assured from now on."
After the two left, Lady Lan quickly went to Mo Yao's courtyard. She poured the medicine into her palm and handed it to Mo Yao.
"Take it quickly."
Mo Yao had tried too many medicines. For this inconspicuous little pill, she had long since lost hope. So she expressionlessly put it in her mouth, took the water that Lady Lan handed over, and swallowed the medicine with the water.
Then she smiled at her mother to comfort her.
Lady Lan lifted Mo Yao's arm and gently massaged it for her.
Looking at her mother wholeheartedly seeking medicine for her, Mo Yao couldn't help feeling sad.
Suddenly, a tingling sensation came. She looked at her arm in surprise. Lady Lan also looked at her daughter in surprise. "Do you feel something?"
Mo Yao nodded. She slowly raised her hands, turned them over several times, and grasped a few times. After confirming that it had really recovered, she even cried happily.
"Mother, my hands! My hands finally have sensation again!" She hugged her mother, and the long-lost feeling welled up in her heart. She cried even more.
Lady Lan gently patted her daughter's back. After her daughter adjusted her emotions, she held her hand and said softly, "Yao Yao, when Mo Qinghuan and the Regent came today, they went to the courtyard where Mo Qinghuan lived..."
Mo Yao looked up at her mother and immediately sensed something was wrong from her mother's words. "Mother, what do you mean? Did Mo Qinghuan make some request again, and you agreed to it?!"
Lady Lan nodded helplessly. "Silly girl, what could be more important than you? She didn't make any excessive requests. She just wanted to get back her original courtyard. Moreover, the Regent said that he might bring Mo Qinghuan back to stay from time to time, so he wants to renovate this courtyard. So, we have no choice but to move."
Mo Yao bit her lip tightly. "Good for Mo Qinghuan. I really underestimated her before. By the way, mother, did she say when to move?"
Lady Lan averted her gaze from Mo Yao. "She wants you to move today, and she also said that you have to do the packing yourself!"
Mo Yao let out a cold snort, her face full of disdain. "Does she think I'll do the packing just because she wants me to? How does she know whether I'll do it myself or not?"
Just as she was speaking, Cui'er came over.
"Madam, the people sent by the Regent have arrived and have been scattered everywhere. The leader said his name is Qing Heng." As Cui'er said this, Mo Yao's face instantly changed!
"What does she, Mo Qinghuan, mean by this? Does she still want to send people to monitor the general's mansion after getting married?" She angrily slapped the table, and her arm immediately felt a sharp, tingling pain.
The pain made her not know how to tightly hold her wrist, trying to relieve the pain.
Seeing this, Lady Lan held her hand to comfort her. "Alright, Mo Qinghuan is no longer what she used to be. If we want to deal with her, we have to plan carefully. By the way, mother heard that you went to the Duke's Mansion the other day, right?"
Mo Yao nodded. Then she remembered Zhao Yiyi's marriage, and jealousy welled up in her heart.
Humph! Why! Why can she, Zhao Yiyi, marry so well?! She won't allow it!
"Yes, mother, I think I have a way."
Lady Lan lovingly stroked her daughter's hair. "Alright, no matter what the way is, we'll talk about it later. Today, let's just move the things out first, so as not to let Mo Qinghuan play any more tricks! Your arm has just recovered. Let's not provoke her for now. We'll talk about it later."
She comforted her daughter, and Mo Yao also nodded.
She started to pack her things.
Qing Heng glanced into the room. Seeing Mo Yao packing her things, he didn't ask any more questions.
