"Dongfang Yu, you..."
Xi Muxue stomped her feet and shouted loudly from behind, but it was a pity that Dongfang Yu did not even turn his head. He ignored her and simply walked away.
Mu Ru and Mother Liu brought the breakfast to the dining table. When they saw Xi Muxue, who was so angry that her face was red and her veins were bulging, Mu Ru did not bother to comfort her like she usually would.
She simply said, "Second Young Madam, it's time for breakfast."
"Xi Muru, why didn't your husband give us money?" Mu Xue said sharply to Mu Ru.
Mu Xue could not vent her anger on just about anyone, so she thought of venting it out on Mu Ru.
Mu Ru was stunned, and she smiled bitterly at Mu Xue.
"Second Young Madam, I think you're asking the wrong person. Why didn't Dongfang Mo give his brother money to spend? Don't you think you should be asking Dongfang Mo and not me?" Mu Ru answered.
"Aren't you Dongfang Mo's wife?" Mu Xue retorted.
Xi Muxue was very unhappy.
"Can't you go and tell your husband to give me twenty million?" Mu Xue shouted.
"Mu Xue? What are you yelling about so early in the morning?" Dongfang Mei suddenly asked.
Dongfang Mei happened to come in. She frowned as she stared at Mu Xue, and she wore a gloomy expression.
"I could hear your voice even when I was still in the Plum Garden. You woke up all the creatures here. Even though my big brother and sister-in-law are no longer around, the Dongfang family still has rules. You're the second madam of the Dongfang family and a daughter of the Xi family. How can you behave like this?" Dongfang Mei said bluntly.
Xi Muxue's face turned red with embarrassment. She wanted to argue with Dongfang Mei, but she held her tongue.
After all, Dongfang Mei was Dongfang Yu's aunt and the only elder in the Dongfang family. Before any of the three Dongfang brothers married, Dongfang Mei had always been the mistress of the Dongfang family.
Now that the eldest son of the Dongfang family, Dongfang Mo, was married, according to the family rules, Dongfang Mo's wife, the first young mistress, would be the mistress of the Dongfang family. However, Dongfang Mo had not given the position to Xi Muru. Therefore, Dongfang Mei was still the mistress of the Dongfang family and of the household.
Dongfang Mei glanced at Xi Muxue coldly. Mu Xue remained silent. Coincidentally, as breakfast had already been served, Dongfang Jun had walked over to the dining table.
Mu Ru came out of the kitchen.
Dongfang Mei turned to Mu Ru and asked, "Mu Ru, where's Ah Mo? Why isn't he coming downstairs for breakfast?"
"I don't know."
Mu Ru lowered her head as she answered.
She continued, "He returned to his room very late last night and left early in the morning. I think—"
They suddenly heard Dongfang Mo's voice from behind. "Aunt Gu, is there something you need me for?"
Everyone turned and saw Dongfang Mo moving towards them in his wheelchair.
"Ah Mo, why would I need you?" Dongfang Mei answered.
Dongfang Mei was stunned, and she smiled at Dongfang Mo.
"Aren't you going to eat breakfast? You haven't been eating breakfast. It's not good to work on an empty stomach," she continued.
"Thank you for your concern, Aunt Gu," Dongfang Mo answered.
Dongfang Mo turned his wheelchair around. Mu Ru naturally helped him by pushing the wheelchair to the edge of the dining table while preparing the pancakes on his plate and pouring him soy milk.
"Our Mu Ru is still the best. She knows how to be considerate, Ah Mo," Dongfang Mei said.
Dongfang Mei could not help but sigh. At the same time, she turned to look at Xi Muxue.
"She's not like some people who scream and make a fuss early in the morning."
