Mu Yaoyao threw a provocative glance at Feng Wu as she spoke to the old man.
I'm going to fight you, Feng Wu. What can you do about it? Mu Yaoyao gloated.
Frowning, Feng Wu smirked, then cupped her fists at the old man. "If that's the case, you can keep these books for your granddaughter. Goodbye!"
After that, Feng Wu turned to leave with Chaoge.
"Wait —"
A cold, authoritative voice rang out behind Feng Wu.
It was the voice of a superior.
Feng Wu turned around and looked at Grand Secretary Fang in bewilderment.
Grand Secretary Fang stared at Mu Yaoyao. "What do you want these books for?"
"To read them." Mu Yaoyao said casually, "I'm going to take the entrance exam for Imperial College, so these books will be very useful to me. Grandpa, what do you say?"
"No." Grand Secretary Fang turned her down right away.
"Grandpa?" Mu Yaoyao was dumbfounded.
Not only was she dumbfounded, but Lady Mu was also dumbfounded. "Father …"
Grand Secretary Fang waved his hand. "Don't call me father from now on. And you, Yaoyao, remember to call me granduncle."
"What?"
Mu Yaoyao and Lady Mu were dumbfounded. So were Feng Wu and Chaoge …
Feng Wu and Chaoge exchanged looks. That was to say, Mu Yaoyao wasn't Grand Secretary Fang's biological granddaughter. So, Mu Yaoyao's grandfather was actually Grand Secretary Fang's younger brother?
They weren't the only ones who were dumbfounded.
This time, Mu Yaoyao and Lady Mu came back with someone else.
It was a boy and a girl. Mu Yaoyao hadn't had time to introduce them to Grand Secretary Fang because of Feng Wu and Mu Yaoyao's quarrel.
The siblings were Yao Hao and Yao Ying. The Yao family was a wealthy merchant family with a high status in the empire, but they didn't have much say in politics.
That was because everyone knew that the Mu and Fang families were very friendly toward each other. That was why the Yao family had sent their children to take the entrance exam for fear that they wouldn't be able to pass. Hence, they had come to the Mu family for help. No one knew how much the Yao family had promised them.
This time, Lady Mu and Mu Yaoyao had brought the siblings to the Fang manor to introduce them to Grand Secretary Fang. They wanted him to review their papers and comment on them.
As far as Mu Yaoyao was concerned, her grandpa was also one of the test-makers. All he needed to do was give a few pointers and occasionally miss a few questions.
However, before she could say anything, Grand Elder Fang slapped her in the face.
"Uncle … Grandfather …" Mu Yaoyao looked at Lady Mu in confusion.
Lady Mu wore an awkward expression.
Consort Mu stepped forward and was about to say something, but Grand Secretary Fang waved his hand. "Your father entrusted you to me, so I didn't say anything when you called me father. But now that you're the Consort of Mu Manor, you still have to follow the rules. Otherwise, your father will be bitterly disappointed."
Lady Mu: "…"
This was Grand Secretary Fang's family business, and Feng Wu didn't want to get involved. She took Chaoge's hand and was about to leave.
Grand Elder Fang said in annoyance, "Why aren't you taking these books back? I'll test you tomorrow. "
"Oh, oh …"
Feng Wu and Chaoge left with the books.
Mu Yaoyao still looked like she had been dealt a heavy blow.
It turned out that the famous Grand Secretary Fang … wasn't her grandfather!
