15 Prosperity (1/2)

”Yue'er.”

At this moment, a gentle voice came from afar, interrupting Nangong Yue's train of thoughts. She looked up and saw her parents coming.

The two walked over side by side, their steps harmonious. Their faces were filled with smiles. A golden boy and a jade girl. Anyone who saw them would think that they were a pair of heavenly couple. Who could have known that all of this was just a reflection of the moon in the water?

In her previous life, her parents were moving further and further away from each other due to her brother's death. Now that her brother was saved, would everything change? Or could it be that cats can't stop cheating …

A trace of haze flashed across Nangong Yue's eyes. However, she soon smiled as if nothing had happened.

”Father, mother.” She lightly trotted over with an innocent smile on her face. She looked completely like a nine year old girl. ”Where's brother?”

”Your brother is still weak and resting in his room.” Nangong Mu smiled.

She caressed her daughter's face and smiled in a gratified manner, ”Yue'er, you look much better now.”

Nangong Mu's gaze suddenly landed on the table where he had yet to eat breakfast. He frowned and asked, ”Yue'er, why are you not eating breakfast? Are these not to your liking?”

Nangong Yue was not used to her father's care. Her expression was stiff. Seeing this, Yixuan stepped forward and quickly explained the whole story.

Nangong Mu could not help but laugh. ”Yue'er, since your grandmother's intentions are so kind, you should take good care of your health and eat breakfast as soon as possible.”

Seeing the smug look in Yixuan's eyes, Nangong Yue couldn't help but sigh. How could a man like Nangong Mu understand the rules of the backyard?

She paused before continuing, ”Father, it is because Grandmother dotes on me that I cannot be pampered. I should be more cautious and repay Grandmother's love for me.”

Hearing that, Nangong Mu was silent for a long time. Then, he suddenly raised his hand to caress the top of his daughter's hair and said gratifyingly, ”My Yue'er has really grown up.

How about this, today I will be the one in charge. You can hide for another day and be lazy. From tomorrow on, you will pay respects to Grandmother, okay?”

Nangong Mu's fatherly appearance attracted the love and respect of his wife. Nangong Yue, on the other hand, disapproved and lowered her gaze slightly. If not for her previous life, she would probably have been moved by her father's tender affection.

But who knew that in her previous life, when she left home, her father never came to visit her again. He never even sent her a letter …

Indeed, with a young, happy and healthy child, how could he remember her, the abandoned eldest daughter?

Nangong Yue couldn't help but look at her father mockingly, but she didn't show it on her face, and gently nodded her head in agreement. After all, her father had already said this much. If she still didn't agree to it, it would be unwise of her.

”Yue'er, quickly sit down. Father and Mother will accompany you for breakfast today. ” Under Nangong Mu's suggestion, the family of three sat around a small round table made of mahogany in the room.

”Second Old Master, Second Madam, this servant will serve you the dishes.” A fifteen to sixteen year old pretty servant girl in a green satin jacket and a dark green cotton dress suddenly pushed past An Niang and rushed over to the side of Nangong Mu and Madame Lin.

Nangong Yue couldn't help but frown. She remembered that this servant girl should be called Ruyi, her mother's first-rate maid.
