Chapter 55.1
The person who was cutting the moon cake should have calculated in advance how many people were in the family . People at home and those outside should be counted together, not one more or one less . The slices should all be the same size .
The General’s Manor’s people were all here tonight . The second household’s population count was simple . Mu YingYi did not have concubines so that was only four people .
But the first household’s population was large . Mu YingRui had one wife, three concubines, three Tongfangs . In addition to the Di daughter Zi You, there was a Shu son and Shu daughter .
Second Yiniang gave birth to the elder Shu son, Mu QingCheng . He was almost ten years old and had almost no sense of presence .
One didn’t know if it was due to drunken stupor sexual relations, but he had a wooden personality and wasn’t very bright . He was a far cry compared to Mu YingYi’s two sons .
He was not capable in martial or civil areas . Old General Mu rarely saw this Shu grandson .
Third Yiniang had no children . She was pregnant before, but after three months, she and Mu YingRui did ‘that . ’ It was a miscarriage and a male child . Mu YingRui was regretful enough to want to die .
The consequences of that was that Third Yiniang never got pregnant again .
Fourth Yiniang had a daughter named Mu HongYe . She was five years old . Both her appearance and intelligence were not comparable to Zi You .
But Mu YingRui doted on her to death . Whatever good things there were, he sent them to her first .
To this, both Old General Mu and Mu YingYi could not understand . He didn’t love an intelligent, beautiful Di daughter . But he loved a not-so-excellent Shu daughter . Was his head growing grass?
Fortunately, Fourth Yiniang was not stupid . She knew in the General’s Manor, what her husband said didn’t matter . Old General Mu was the pillar . So she always never dared to scheme on Zi You . She was afraid if Old General Mu found out, she would be dead without a burial site . Otherwise, Zi You’s situation would be worse .
