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 Generals Manors people were all here tonight. The second households population count was simple. Mu YingYi did not have concubines so that was only four people.

But the first households 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 didnt know if it was due to drunken stupor sexual relations, but he had a wooden personality and wasnt very bright. He was a far cry compared to Mu YingYis 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 didnt 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 Generals Manor, what her husband said didnt 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 Yous situation would be worse.

Ne Liu cut the moon cake based on the number of people. Looking at her smiling face, Wang Yipings face was turning green from anger.

She thought that she, as the eldest sons wife, should be the one to cut the moon cake. But now, the one whos doing it was this whatever Ne Liu. Wasnt this obviously bullying her?

But she did not dare to demand this authority in front of Old General Mu. He was a first-rank division commander of soldiers in five cities, with control of one-third of Great Yans Imperial Army in his hands. He stomped his feet and one-third of Great Yans people would be affected.

And Mu YingYi was a second-rank deputy general, higher-ranked than her own husband by several ranks.

According to the situation, Ne Liu had already been conferred as a second-rank furen.

But what was she? Her father Duke Yingguo was only an empty title with no real power. Till now, she had not even been granted a fourth-rank furen title.

Mu YingRui had already submitted the paperwork. But it was like a stone sinking into a big ocean. It must be Old General Mu stopping this thing behind the scenes.

She guessed correctly. It was indeed Old General Mus words to the Emperor that played a role. Emperor, its not easy to say too much in front of outsiders. But I dont dare to hide anything from you. If it wasnt for this subjects first daughter-in-law Dier, then subduing the rebellion in Nanjiang wouldnt have been so smooth. In this subjects heart, the eldest daughter-in-law and lady of the house is only one person. That is Dier.

Once Old General Mu said that, Wang Yiping being granted a ranked furen title was a long way off.

Zi You saw Wang Yipings expression was bad and secretly sneered. She thought, Theres more unpleasantness waiting for you.

After worshipping and eating moon cakes, Mu YingRui wanted to go back and do that. The yiniangs took turns sending him tonics these few days. His fire was flourishing and wanted to go put out the fire.
