128: C128 Retreat Without a Fight

C128 Retreat Without a Fight

Mu Xiaoyou looked at Mu Qingqing who didn't have any work on her with a happy expression. She was too young and couldn't hide her emotions at all.

"How can you not do anything? This is a mission that grandfather has given you!" Mu Xiaoyou's tone was flat, but everyone could hear the discord in her voice. It was fortunate that she was only 12 years old and not scolded by Old Master Mu.

Mu Qingqing ignored Mu Xiaoyou and just looked at Old Master Mu. Grandfather, what do you think? "

The atmosphere in the living room had reached a stalemate. Old Master Mu stared at Mu Qingqing with an intimidating gaze. He really felt that the young could be intimidated later on. This child just graduated from junior high school, sharp tongued, glib tongue.

"Grandfather, if she didn't complete the mission within the time you set, then should I be considered the only one to take the exam?" Mu Xiaoyou was unresigned. So what if Mu Qingqing was good at talking? Without her work, she wouldn't be able to participate in anything else. Even if she, Mu Xiaoyou, couldn't pass the test, Mu Qingqing still couldn't become the successor to her grandfather.

"Xiaoyou, don't be anxious." Grandfather is not an old fool, he knows how to judge. " Old Master Mu suddenly laughed. He didn't expect that other than Mu Qingqing, there was also a child with intelligence. This surprised Old Master Mu a bit.

Mu Xiaoyou pouted, but she didn't dare to act rashly in front of Old Master Mu. She could only return to her seat, her eyes like torches.

"Old Chen, bring the chair over here." Old Master Mu waved his hand and ordered Steward Chen behind him.

The butler did as he was told and brought over a wooden chair. It was completely unpainted.

Mu Qingqing looked very familiar. Wasn't that the golden silk chair that she had made with only one leg? The other day, when she saw Old Master Mu make a complete chair, she just thought it was beautiful. Today, when she saw this chair again, she admired Old Master Mu's woodworking more and more. It was simply exquisite.

It was carved with lifelike peach blossoms, and with the back of the tree as a fork, it gave birth to one peach flower after another that was competing to bloom.

Mu Xiaoyou was puzzled. Why did Old Master Mu bring this out? Who's going to sit for!

"Qingqing, your work was done very well. For you to reach this level at such a young age, it's already quite good." Old Master Mu wanted to go easy on him, so whether it was square or round was up to him.

Mu Qingqing silently sighed for herself. Old Master Mu wasn't going to let her go.

"Grandfather, what are you talking about?" Mu Xiaoyou looked at the chair in front of her, then looked at the proud Mu Qingqing. She felt uncomfortable in her heart.

"This chair was made by Qing Qing. It's not like she doesn't have any work. She had already finished making it a few days ago." Old Master Mu patiently explained the situation to Mu Xiaoyou.

"You're biased!" Mu Xiaoyou immediately understood that Old Master Mu was trying to get close to Mu Qingqing! The two of them had clearly sent out the materials at the same time. After the night had passed, her fingers had stabbed through her skin and she had completed a task. Now she said that Mu Qingqing had finished it two days ago. Isn't he favoring Mu Qingqing!

Old Master Mu couldn't help but think back to what he said yesterday. The rules were set by him personally, but now he had to change it for Mu Qingqing. It was indeed a bit of a slap to the face.

"Grandfather, don't feel troubled. Actually, I can't do anything by hand. Xiaoyou did it, and she did it well." Mu Qingqing wished Old Master Mu would make Mu Xiaoyou his successor now, so that she could do her own thing.

Old Master Mu had a ball of fire in his heart, but at this moment, he couldn't tell anyone. He didn't expect the two little girls to have such strong logic.

"The rules were set by grandpa. I worked so hard to make a pen container for the whole night. Grandpa, you're unfair!" Before Old Master Mu could think of a way to deal with it, Mu Xiaoyou loudly accused him of his favouritism, which made Old Master Mu's head hurt.

"Don't say anymore, I want to quit. I didn't pass this exam, so I didn't pass. Zero marks is zero points." Grandfather, you don't have to say anymore. " Mu Qingqing suddenly spoke up, her tone filled with a sense of giving up.

Give up? The descendants of Mu Family actually retreated without fighting!

Old Master Mu didn't know what to do with Mu Qingqing, this b * tch, for a moment, but he definitely wouldn't let Mu Qingqing, this good seedling, go. Even if she couldn't do her carpentry properly, she could manage the group.

At this moment, Mu Yichen was standing at the door of the living room, vigilantly looking at Old Master Mu, afraid that he would throw something at Mu Qingqing.

"Xiaoyou, your work …" Old Master Mu picked up the pen container on the left. Mu Xiaoyou had jabbed it into a mess. It could be said that he was wasting the materials. The hole in the middle had been dug out and could barely be called a pen container.

"I need to work harder. Is this the first time?" Old Master Mu frowned and put the pen container back on the table.

Mu Xiaoyou lowered her head and nodded.

"There's still one more round, you can continue to take it." Qing Qing, you have zero points in this round, so you don't need to participate in the next one. "

Mu Qingqing responded with a grunt of assent. She finally heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. The old tutor had let her go for the time being.

The light that had just been extinguished in Mu Xiaoyou's eyes started to burn again. She glanced at Mu Qingqing with some pride in her eyes. The provocation in her eyes was self-evident.0

Lunch had already been prepared in the dining room. There was still the seafood that Su Cuiyun had mentioned, including crabs, and Mu Xiaoyou was elated for a while.

"Sis, why did grandpa let us see that piece of wood?" Mu Yichen was confused throughout the whole process. He was not interested in wood and did not have the temperament to keep sitting at the same place to cut wood. He had been watching for two days in the fog, and he did not know what his grandpa was up to. However, from the looks of it, it didn't seem like a group of children were playing around at all, but more like a purposeful selection.

It wasn't Mu Yichen's fault that he didn't know anything about his successor. Su Cuiyun's full attention was focused on Mu Xiaoyou, Mu Qingqing's full intelligence, and the younger ones, Mu Da Yu and Mu Qianqian, were taught by their second and third uncle.

Mu Qingqing glanced at Mu Xiaoyou and asked in a low voice, "Mom didn't tell you?"

Mu Yichen was even more confused. Tell what? Since he had come to Mu Mansion for so many days, he wouldn't take the initiative to call Su Cuiyun. Of course, Su Cuiyun also wouldn't take the initiative to call him. Did he miss something important?

"Grandfather is nurturing the successor." Mu Qingqing whispered into his ear.

Mu Yichen was stunned for a while as he looked at Mu Xiaoyou with eyes as sharp as torches. No wonder Mu Xiaoyou was so enthusiastic, it was because she wanted to be the successor to Mu Family.

"Then why did you give up the opportunity to be the successor?" Mu Yichen asked in a low voice. He did not care about anything else, and only hoped that Mu Qingqing would feel better. If Mu Family must elect an heir, he hoped that Mu Qingqing and not Mu Xiaoyou.

"You want me to fight with Xiaoyou?" For a moment Lili was surprised that Mu Yichen had always been neutral, as if he had hoped she would be able to compete with Mu Xiaoyou.

Mu Yichen was shocked again, and thoughtfully said, "If you become the successor, your brother and sister will definitely be very happy."

He added in his heart that Second Sister's personality was inappropriate.

Mu Qingqing smiled. It seemed like Mu Xiaoyou was unpopular.

During the meal, they only exchanged whispers, afraid that they would disturb Old Master Mu's meal. They all knew that Grandfather was a very serious person.

It was during the summer vacation that Mu Danyu and Mu Qianqian had their own home tutor, whereas Mu Qingqing and her three siblings didn't. Therefore, Old Master Mu asked Steward Chen to find a home tutor for Mu Xiaoyou and Mu Yichen.

Coincidentally, Mu Xiaoyou and Mu Yichen were in the same year, so it was easier for them.

As for Mu Qingqing and Old Master Mu, they gave up on finding a home tutor for her. After all, she was the top scholar in A city and had her own way of learning.

In the afternoon, Steward Chen personally went to Mu Qingqing's room to deliver the snacks. He had abundant Mu Mansion and a large field at the back of the mountain.

Mu Qingqing felt that this place was a pretty good summer resort if she didn't consider the complicated interpersonal relationships within the Mu Mansion.

"Have you found out about the snake?" Mu Qingqing rubbed her hazy eyes, feeling sleepy.

"Not yet. That day, most of the people went to the east room, while the rest went to the kitchen to help. I asked them but no one came here." Housekeeper Chen was also very worried. Someone who could place snakes in the Mu Mansion could be said to have a problem with their character and behavior. Although the information was sealed, the Mu Mansion was still extremely unsafe.

"It doesn't matter. I can investigate slowly. I'm not in a hurry to get the truth. I just want to keep myself safe." Mu Qingqing was worried as well. That snake was burnt to ashes. If someone with a mind of their own were to investigate, this snake was definitely strange. If there were any unnatural phenomena, she would become famous.

"Thank you for your forgiveness and understanding, Eldest Miss." The butler thanked Mu Qingqing gratefully. If Mu Qingqing hadn't chosen to hide it, this matter would have been exposed to Old Master Mu. Steward Chen knew that his job was hard to come by, so he was even more grateful to Mu Qingqing.

"Uncle, don't be so polite." Mu Qingqing was also very grateful to the butler for helping her investigate the case.

"That's right, the old gramps wants your peers to go fishing by the lake in the afternoon." Steward Chen remembered his business and his face became serious.

"I'm not going. I want to rest for a while." Mu Qingqing waved her hand. Her whole body was still sore after yesterday's training. It would be better to kill her than to let her fish.

"This …" Housekeeper Chen didn't think that there would be children in the house that could go against Old Master Mu. In the past, if he were to pass this information to Mu Da Yu or Mu Qianqian, he would definitely rush over without saying a word. However, Mu Qingqing was different from them. She always seemed to want to avoid the old man's sight, and it was unknown if it was just an illusion.
