2475 Miss Has Returned Home

*Creakkk.* The Mu Estate’s pitch-black gate was pushed open from the inside.

“Ahahaha. This is Miss Qiao, right? Come, come, come, let Concubine Mother take a look! Tut tut tut, you really have grown up so pretty and vivacious.”

The woman was wearing a pastel-patterned satin skirt, with a gold-leafed indigo coat over it. A sunflower ornament adorned her forehead. Her figure was well-developed and proportioned, making her look lithe and graceful.

At this moment, the corners of the woman’s mouth and eyes were marked with smiles. She affectionately held that young lady’s hand and spoke as if they were very intimate.

The young lady was a bit ill at ease. She looked timidly at that woman. “You, you are, Concubine Shi?”

“My.” Concubine Shi’s eyes flickered. She gave a warm smile and personally held the girl’s arm. She remarked, “Calling you Miss Qiao makes it seem as if you’re an outsider. Concubine Mother heard that everyone in your village calls you Qiaoqiao, right? Ohohoho! Then don’t mind if Concubine Mother also calls you Qiaoqiao too.”

“Concubine Mother has already informed your father about your situation. Don’t be frantic, okay. We will first be seeing your father.”

“Qiaoqiao, did those servants give you the cold shoulder during your long journey?”

“No, no. They were all very good.” That young lady smiled with closed lips, but it looked awkward no matter how one looked at it.

Concubine Shi’s smile deepened when she saw her simpering manner without having a natural poise.

She turned around and looked at the gate where there was a girl rolling her eyes. She quickly said with a smile, “Rouyun, what are you doing standing there? Hurry and come greet your Sister Qiaoqiao.”

Mu Rouyun swept that young lady a look and clicked her tongue while rolling her eyes. She then turned around and walked inside.

What sister?

Look at that coarse skin and that dark complexion. Even wearing gold and silver couldn’t change her bumpkin nature.

The smell of livestock dung was assaulting her senses even before she came close. So d*mn stinky!

“Hey, this child.” Concubine Shi glared at Mu Rouyun before turning back to placate the young lady. “Qiaoqiao, don’t be angry, okay. This is your sixth sister Rouyun. She grew up with a wild temper, so don’t stoop down to her level.”

“We will be going to see your dad now. Have your dad lecture her later.”

“Don’t, don’t, don’t.” That young lady shook her head frantically and gave an awkward smile. “Six, Sixth Sister is still young, naive and adorable. Concubine Mother must not lecture her because of me.”

“Mom, I heard that that sister of mine who grew up outside is just 15 years old right. Doesn’t that mean she’s just one or two years older than me? How come she looks so old, like a married woman over 30.”

Mu Rouyun’s gibe made the young lady’s expression stiffen. The latter was so flustered she didn’t know where to put her hands.

“You child, how can you speak like that? Hold your loose tongue.” Concubine Shi glared furiously at her daughter before holding the young lady’s arm and saying with a smile, “Don’t listen to her nonsense. You’ve suffered so much growing up outside all these years. You have to properly nourish yourself after coming back. Ah, you will definitely recover your flower-like countenance. Do not worry, our Mu Clan has plenty of beautifying pills. It will all be good after taking a few.”

“Thank you, Concubine Mother.” That young lady’s voice evidently got emotional.

Her unpresentable and petty manner made the smile in Concubine Shi’s eyes deepen even more.

“Come, come, come. Let us go see your dad. Your dad is waiting for us in the main court.”
