Knock, knock, knock. Someone knocked on the door. The three of them were shocked.

Duan Si gave Bei Le a look, and Bei Le went to open the door in fear. It was Song Nan.

Song Nan smiled. “What are you guys doing? Mu Ci and Bei Shuo are back.”

Bei Le heaved a sigh of relief.

Duan Si asked nervously, “Did they say anything?”

Song Nan looked confused. “No, I think they’re quite happy. They must have returned from the Shen Family again.”

Duan Si’s face darkened. “It’s the Shen Family again. Mu En is clearly the one who is going to marry to the Shen Family, but they’re getting along so well with them! ‘

Bei Le’s face turned pale when she heard about the Shen Family.

Song Nan smiled. “Auntie, why don’t we get Mu En to invite Miss Shen to our house to play? It can also improve our relationship so that we won’t look like we’re sucking up to her when we visit the Shen Family.”

“That’s a good idea!” Duan Si immediately agreed.

Then, she sighed. “Only our Song Nan really treats Mu En as her younger brother and thinks for him! Hmph! As his elder brother, Mu Ci… I really don’t know what he has done!”

Song Nan was used to it and smiled without saying anything.

Shen Yu hurriedly said, “Madam treats Miss Song Nan like her own daughter. Miss Song Nan is also a sensible woman.”

Even Bei Le frowned.

Duan Si thought for a moment. “Forget it. Don’t be in a hurry to go back. When we invite the Shen Family over to play, you guys can join in the fun. I don’t want to invite other families to join in the fun either.”

Bei Le’s eyes lit up.

Song Nan said, “Auntie, go out and see Mu Ci.’

Duan Si didn’t look happy. However, she had no choice but to go out. It wasn’t good for Mu Ci to notice something wrong now, right?

Bei Shuo was surprised that Duan Si didn’t cause trouble today.

Duan Si announced that she wanted to invite the Shen Family over to play. ‘Why do you want to invite them to my house?”

“Alright!”

Mu Ci and Bei Shuo exchanged looks and didn’t say anything else.

However, Duan Si was very happy that they had different opinions. She thought that Bei Shuo had compromised with her, so she agreed readily. She glanced at Mu Ci and said, “As his brother and sister-in-law, you have to think for your younger brother. Song Nan can even think for Mu En. How can you not do anything?”

Mu Ci didn’t say anything. He looked at his mother and felt sad. She had done everything she could for Mu En, but she didn’t expect that every step she took for Mu En would be debts that he had to pay back double.

He watched them do the wrong things, but he was powerless to stop them. He might as well let them cause trouble.

Suddenly, he saw Xiaobai standing in the corner and winking at him. He understood a little.

He looked at Song Nan. “Bei Shuo doesn’t understand these things. Song Nan, help Mother manage it. If you need anything, you can get Mrs. Tian to do it. It’s been hard on you.”

Song Nan smiled calmly. “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it.”

Mu Ci pulled Bei Shuo upstairs. Bei Shuo turned around and glanced at Song Nan. Song Nan gave her a provocative gaze.

Bei Shuo felt a little uncomfortable.

Mu Ci returned to the bedroom and stood in front of the medicine cabinet without moving.

Bei Shuo followed him and asked curiously, “What’s wrong?”

Mu Ci pointed at the small bottles in the medicine cabinet. “Take a look and see if there’s any problem.”

Bei Shuo looked over and opened the cabinet in surprise. “This, this, this doesn’t seem right!

She reached out to open a bottle cap and exclaimed, “This isn’t my medicine!’

Mu Ci covered her mouth. “Shh!”

Bei Shuo’s eyes widened. She held the small porcelain bottle in her hand and said anxiously, “Brother Stone, there’s a thief in our house! This won’t do. We have to call the police. Those medicines can’t be taken casually. Someone will die!”

Bei Shuo was so anxious that he stomped her feet. Lives were at stake! How could this be?!

Mu Ci pulled her hand and walked towards the inner room. Bei Shuo wanted to break free from his grip, but she couldn’t.

“Follow me,” Mu Ci said.

There was an ordinary lamp on the bedside table in the inner room. Every night, when Bei Shuo fell asleep, Mu Ci would turn off this lamp. Now, Mu Ci gently touched the switch of the lamp, and a secret compartment appeared behind the lamp.

“Ah!” Bei Shuo jumped in fright.

Under the bright lights, Bei Shuo saw her precious little bottles neatly placed inside.

Mu Ci pinched Bei Shuo’s little nose and said with a relaxed smile, “l asked you if you could still identify those medicines if their positions were changed. Now that they’re here, you have to identify them yourself. However, you can’t put them back in the medicine cabinet.’

Bei Shuo took a bottle, opened it, and took a sniff. She heaved a sigh of relief.

“You scared me to death.. I thought someone had stolen it!”
