Chapter 327: Guidance

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

At this time, Mu Qing poured Liang Zhou a cup of tea before he said, “I told you to study the art of tea brewing, but you don’t have the patience for it. If you want Mother to treat you better, you have to share common interests with her…”

Warmth suffused Liang Zhou’s heart when she heard Mu Qing’s words. In her opinion, this was Mu Qing encouraging her to get along with his mother better. It had been years since he had last guided her about matters like this. Hence, she hurriedly took the teacup and solemnly said, “I’ll study diligently from today onward…”

Song Ning, who was seated across from the couple, seemed to be in a daze. Mu Qing did not pay attention to her at all, and she felt as though she was sitting on pins and needles. After less than five minutes, she suddenly rose to her feet and said, “I’ll go and check on Grandma and the baby.”

Mu Qing calmly said, “No. Mother went to rest. If you go now, won’t you disturb her rest?”

Song Ning froze on the spot upon hearing these words.

The feeling that something was amiss rose in Liang Zhou’s heart again. She lowered her head as she sipped on the tea and looked at Mu Qing from the corners of her eyes. Then, she shifted her gaze to Song Ning who looked slightly flustered. When Song Ning met her gaze, Song Ning returned to her seat stiffly.

Liang Zhou could not help but feel that Song Ning was very different today. She was aware of how strong and calm Song Ning was. During her few confrontations with Song Ning, whether they were open or secret confrontations, she had been utterly defeated by Song Ning. However, the Song Ning today was obviously different.

Initially, Liang Zhou did not think much about it. However, Mu Qing’s words made her think again. She recalled that Song Ning had clung onto Jiang Jian as soon as Song Ning came into the hall. Song Ning did not mention her child at all. Logically speaking, as a new mother, Song Ning should have gone to check on her child after being out for half a day, right? Although she had never been a mother before, she knew how important children were to their mothers. However, Song Ning acted as though the child did not exist at all.

Liang Zhou recalled that even when Jiang Jin said she was going to check on the baby, it did not occur to Song Ning to check on the baby at all. Instead, Song Ning stayed behind to accompany them on behalf of Jiang Jin. As a mother, Song Ning seemed very uncaring.

After a while, Liang Zhou’s mind wandered to Sister Yu’s behavior earlier. Sister Yu seemed very protective of the baby. She wondered if Jiang Jin completely monopolized the baby that even Song Ning, the baby’s mother, could not get close to the baby at all. In the end, she thought this theory was the most credible.

Therefore, Liang Zhou smiled at Mu Qing and said, “What are you talking about? How can Song Ning not care about the baby? It’s just that the Old Madam is too protective and cares about the baby too much. Earlier, when I wanted to cover the baby with his blanket, Sister Yu didn’t even allow me to get close…”

Mu Qing cocked an eyebrow upon hearing these words. “Hmm?”

Song Ning’s expression was stiff as she said, “That’s right. Grandma has said that she and Sister Yu will look after the baby. She also told me to focus on taking care of myself and Mu Chen…”

Mu Qing only glanced at Song Ning and did not say anything else. He lowered his gaze and sipped on the tea.

Meanwhile, Liang Zhou was in an exceptionally good mood. She lowered her head and imitated Mu Qing’s manner when drinking and pouring the tea. Then, she looked at him meaningfully, waiting for his affirmation.

As expected, Mu Qing nodded lightly at her.

With Mu Qing’s acknowledgment, Liang Zhou felt the tea tasted incomparably sweet.

On the contrary, Song Ning’s gaze turned cold as she watched this scene. She looked as though she could not wait to tear Liang Zhou, who was immersed in happiness, into pieces.

…

At this time, the baby had already woken up.

Sister Yu carried the giggling baby in her arms, playing with him.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Jin was delighted. “How come he woke up quickly? He’s really energetic!”

Sister Yu nodded. “When he grows up, he’s definitely going to be like his father. He’s going to be a smart and capable young man…”

After Jiang Jin cleaned her hands and sat at the side of the cot, Sister Yu asked, “Has the mister left?”
