Chapter 317 The past

No! Mother, my brother and I have never had the thoughts you just described.

The reason we didn't want you to get involved in this matter was because we were afraid you would be unnecessarily harmed. Besides, we rescued Yingying the very day the bad guys kidnapped her.

Yes, yes, yes! For her safety, we haven't brought her back to us yet. And Mother, wasn't our old Yang family mansion burned down?

Yeah! If you hadn't brought this up, I would have forgotten that I was going to yell at you guys because of it.

I've noticed that you two are getting increasingly ambitious! You didn't even consult with me and your father about something as serious as setting fire to the Yang family's old mansion.

Are you two brothers planning a rebellion? And how long has it been since you last visited Hei Ren Tang?

Haha! Mother, I don't know where you've been all this time, but the news that our Hei Rentang has been completely disbanded has spread throughout the streets and alleys.

Hahaha! Yang Mulong, don't you feel like you're getting an itch when you say these things?

If your father were to hear these words, he would definitely give you a severe scolding! So I still advise you to obediently manage Heirentang for me!

But Mother, the Hei Ren Tang that our grandfather founded really no longer exists! Where are you asking Long'er and me to manage Hei Ren Tang?

After hearing what Mu Wang said to her, Yuqin looked at her two sons sitting in front of her with a face full of despair.

Hey! Do you even know how much your grandfather suffered to establish this Black Rentang?

How much time and energy did he spend quietly supporting it? The fortune teller who told you brothers before said you two were both spendthrifts!

Your father and I found that statement utterly absurd and laughable. As long as we strictly control your upbringing...

How could there possibly be a spendthrift son? That's utter nonsense! But looking at your actions now, it's clear that what the fortune teller said back then was true.

Haha! Mother, it seems you haven't grasped one thing, which is what if we continue to run Hei Ren Tang?

Will we really become complete spendthrifts, just as you said?

When Yuqin heard this, she became very angry and felt like slapping her two sons' faces.

Moreover, they hadn't even gone to look for her once, even though she had been missing for more than half a month.

Although she was recuperating at her own sister's house and there was no danger, her two brothers should still send someone to look for her!

Sigh! Thinking about it like this makes me feel really sad! Why are these two brothers not close to me anymore?

Thinking of this, Yuqin lowered her head in disappointment, wondering if she had been a little too impulsive when she discovered that her grandchildren were not around.

After all, even their father wasn't worried about their absence! So why should I, as their grandmother, be so anxious?

"Mother, what's wrong? You seem really down right now!"

"Heh! The reason I'm so down right now is because of you two brothers! I really want to ask you why I risked my life to bring you into this world?"

"Of course, it's because of the saying 'raising children to provide for old age'! Don't you understand this principle?"

"Of course I understand that principle! But looking at how unfilial you two are, I really can't imagine what I'll be like when I'm old."

"Isn't your question simple enough, elder sister? Of course you'll live with me when you get old!"

"Yuying, isn't it premature for you to say that? Besides, your older sister's tastes are getting more and more picky! Can you afford to support me?"

"Haha! My eldest sister's temper hasn't changed at all! She still looks down on people just as much!"

"But now I have a lot of money! I should be able to support my older sister, right?"

Mu Long originally wanted to say something to comfort his mother when he saw that she looked very disappointed.

But when he saw a noblewoman who looked very much like Xia Rong standing in front of him, and who not only did she look like Xia Rong, but she also called his mother "elder sister" very affectionately.

He froze on the spot, pointing at Yu Ying's face with his finger, speechless for a long time.

"Mother, who is this noblewoman? Why does she look so much like Xia Rong? And what is your relationship with her? Why does she call you elder sister?"

When Yu Ying saw Mu Long standing there in a daze, she couldn't help but smile and walked over to gently pinch Mu Long's cheek.

Sigh! My older sister used to have such bouncy, cute little face! Now his face is all hard and not cute at all.

Haha! This is absolutely hilarious! Mu Long, you're almost 30 and you're already 28, and people are still saying your face isn't funny!

Mu Long frowned unhappily as Yu Ying kept playing with Mu Long's face.

She really wanted to use her own hands to remove Yu Ying's hands, but when she thought that this aunt might be her mother's sister, she gave up the idea.

Little sister, did you know? Your eldest sister's second son almost became your son-in-law! This boy really adores our little girl!

Haha! Eldest sister, don't you think this is a wonderful thing? Back when we were pregnant with him/her, didn't we joke that if the two babies were a boy and a girl, we would become in-laws?

"Auntie, your idea is certainly very good! Mu Long and Nuan Nuan were once very much in love, but if they get married, it would be considered incestuous marriage!"

"Yes, yes! I know about what you just mentioned! And our generation always believes in strengthening family ties through marriage. So I'm even more supportive of Mu Long and Xia Rong getting married!"

"But Auntie, aren't you afraid that the child they have together will be disabled? Don't ruin Mu Long and Nuan Nuan's lifelong happiness because of your momentary whim!"

After Mu Wang finished speaking, Yu Ying stared at him in shock. She felt that what he had just said was really unpleasant!

How could Xia Rong's mother possibly ruin her daughter's lifelong happiness? As her mother, she naturally hoped that her daughter could live a peaceful and happy life!

How could he possibly ruin her life's happiness with his own hands? Yu Ying suddenly felt that Mu Wang really looked like her brother-in-law when he was young.

The things they say always make people feel uncomfortable for a short while, but when they calm down, they realize that what he just said makes no sense.
