Mu Shuangshuang was carried into the house by Mu the Third, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. For the other branches of the Mu Family, the nuisance was finally out of sight. For those in Mu Dashan's house, it meant Mu Shuangshuang's life was saved.
Lu Yuanfeng followed Mu Dashan into Mu Dashan's house.
The lie had already been told, and he naturally had to maintain it. The best way to do so was to follow along and see if there's anything Mu Shuangshuang wants him to help with, as a way to repay Yu Si Niang for saving Yuanbao.
The small house was the same, but inside, there were slight changes. The cabinet on the north side was missing three legs, and the worn cotton quilts he'd carried out to air were gone, seemingly moved to the kang bed where Mu Shuangshuang might be sleeping by the Mu Family's Third Branch.
The subtle changes warmed Lu Yuanfeng's heart and increased his respect for the Mu Family's Third Branch and Yu Si Niang.
