Chapter 158: Be more mindful of your placeTranslator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Chang Zai’s lips kept twitching. He finally figured out that his little master disliked the elderly lady a lot.
Chang Zai respectfully led Qiao Mu to the doors of the elderly lady’s room and sent Mother Xu a look before they left together.
The elderly lady’s leg was still feeble. When Qiao Mu tossed the pheasant away and entered the room, the elderly lady was partially sitting and partially laying on the bed.
Upon seeing Qiao Mu enter, the elderly lady coughed in embarrassment. “Qiaoqiao is here.”
“Grandmother.” Qiao Mu indifferently greeted with a curtsy. Although she wore an aloof expression, Elderly Lady Qiao could not find a single fault in her manners.

Elderly Lady Qiao witnessed everything that happened at the city gates of Xijiu City, so she finally realized that her granddaughter was vastly different from before.
Her granddaughter appeared to be very strong. Even the city lord and other people were polite to her granddaughter, so how could an addled old woman like her refuse to the accept the times?
Qiao Mu sat down on the low stool next to the bed. Then, she dug out the family division document from her sleeve and laid it open in front of the old woman.
Elderly Lady Qiao’s eyes twitched, confused about the child’s intent.
“Grandmother, this granddaughter met a group of people at the entrance of the street just now. One of them claimed to be Madam Niu from Wei Clan Village, so I wonder if you’re familiar with her?”
Isn’t Wei Clan Village…?
Elderly Lady Qiao was astonished. “That’s your youngest aunt’s future husband’s family, isn’t it?”
“Youngest Aunt already married herself into the family. She’s currently with them.”
“What?” Elderly Lady Qiao looked at Qiao Mu in shock. “Your youngest aunt really got married?”
Qiao Mu nodded. “There’s also a miss surnamed Wen. She originally wanted to come and see you along with Youngest Aunt, but this granddaughter stopped them. Miss Wen says she’s your distant niece, do you know her?”
Elderly Lady Qiao’s forehead twitched. She rubbed her forehead and sighed. “Child, say what you want to say frankly.”
“I don’t mean anything. I just want to ask Grandmother whether you want to live with your daughter, son-in-law, and distant niece or plan to stay here and live with us.” Qiao Mu calmly ran her hand over the family division document. “After all, our Qiao Family was officially divided already, so my family isn’t responsible for minding the private business of other branches, especially the business of Qiao Wenjuan, who has been married and is staying with the Wei Family.”
“Father and Mother are kind, so it’s right and proper for them to support Grandmother.” Qiao Mu looked at Elderly Lady Qiao meaningfully. “As for other people… my family isn’t a charity.”
Elderly Lady Qiao couldn’t help but bitterly smile. The child might have spoken in a circle, but her goal was to force her to state her position and warn her to be mindful of her place.
“Qiaoqiao, don’t worry. Grandmother isn’t muddle-headed, so why would Grandmother interfere with the Wei Family’s business? As for your youngest aunt, ey…” Elderly Lady Qiao did not know what to say when she remembered how her daughter had pushed her out to die in her place.

Qiao Mu nodded in satisfaction and stood up to curtsy before leaving.
As Elderly Lady Qiao felt her granddaughter leave without any hesitation, she felt regret bubble in her heart. Her granddaughter did not want to say a single unnecessary word to her!
Was it really that easy to mend a previously broken heart?
Two days later, outside of the Heavenly Treasure Gate of the royal palace, there were three large carts of supplies resting there along with two rows of guards standing heroically on each side.
The guard captain standing in the front held a giant red brocade box with his eyes dutifully fixed ahead.
“Stop the carriage.” A luxurious carriage stopped in front of Heavenly Treasure Gate. A pull of the curtains and an alluring figure swiftly darted out of the cabin. The person wanted to snatch the brocade box from the guard captain with a lightning move of the hand.
“Such intense mystic energy.”
