Mu Hanyan noticed that although the scene looked a bit enthusiastic and a bit chaotic, everyone chose only what they needed, and no one was greedy.
Mu Hanyan felt secretly gratified. The Heishi City branch of the Mu Family had developed to its current scale for a reason. These people had strong characters, and given time, they would certainly become the backbone of the family, glorifying the Mu lineage.
"I know the Great Elder isn’t so generous; with his temperament, he probably didn’t want to let you benefit from a single good item. I also know what Housekeeper Geng is like, he loves to guess leaders’ intentions and curry favor, which is why he has the Great Elder’s trust.
If I’m not wrong, as soon as he received the news, he immediately hid all these items. But he didn’t hide them well, and you found them out, so he just decided to take it all out at once. Am I right?" Mu Hanyan was just reflecting in satisfaction when Mu Ze’s voice reached her ears.
"Oh." Mu Hanyan neither admitted nor denied, looking at Mu Ze with some admiration. It had to be said that Mu Ze had been thinking hard these years to secure a place in the family. He had a clear understanding of everyone in the Mu Family, from the top down.
"Why would you do such a good deed only to dress others?" Mu Ze looked at Mu Hanyan, not understanding.
"It’s not exactly dressing others; these items were painstakingly collected by the Great Elder for the family’s future. It’s just that he’s older now, too cautious and content with preserving rather than advancing.
What I’m doing is simply advancing what he would eventually do, helping him realize his aspiration to strengthen the family ahead of time," Mu Hanyan said with an easy smile.
"Strengthening the family?" Mu Ze looked at Mu Hanyan, a flicker of insight in his eyes.
"Don’t always think about fighting for power and gain. One day, you will realize that some things are far more important than the status, power, and reputation you see," Mu Hanyan said earnestly to Mu Ze.
"Mm." Mu Ze looked at Mu Hanyan with a mixture of understanding and confusion in his eyes, his respect for her growing unconsciously. Although he still couldn’t fully grasp the depth of Mu Hanyan’s words, he knew that this person, so-called playboy in the eyes of outsiders, had a sense of loyalty and sincere heart toward the family that was no less than any Mu Family member’s.
Putting himself in her shoes, he felt that Mu Hanyan deserved even more respect than some of the elders.
"Alright, I still have things to do, and you all should get back to cultivating," said Mu Hanyan, before turning around to leave.
In that moment when she turned around, Mu Hanyan’s expression became somewhat solemn.
Because of her rebirth, many things had subtly changed. Even the Yan Family and the grandfather’s attitude toward their descendants had shifted. No one knew what might happen next.
Mu Hanyan had a premonition that the crisis brought about by families like Zhao Zhou’s might come sooner than expected.
The crisis of her previous life had been years away, and the Mu family was even stronger then than now, yet it still suffered a heavy blow. If it came earlier, what would happen to the Mu Family?
The Mu Family would only be able to safely navigate the crisis and avoid a severe blow if it united and worked together as one. Therefore, she didn’t mind adding luster to the Great Elder’s reputation. After all, as the true Clan Leader of the Heishi City Mu branch, the Great Elder’s authority was not to be shaken.
