Chapter 482 Arriving Through the Wind and Snow 8_1
Mother Lan, while speaking casually, helped herself to the fruits that had been washed clean from the pond, devouring them with relish while nodding her head in praise of their sweetness. She went on to say, "This time, for the old master’s longevity celebration, Xiao’en personally painted a Hundred Longevity Picture. I heard from Lin Deng that it made the old master extremely happy!"
"This child is indeed very filial. She prepared the Hundred Longevity Picture for half a year, and had redrawn it numerous times due to dissatisfaction," Grandma Gu said with a smile. Then suddenly sighing, she added, "But I don’t understand why, as she grows older, her temper also grows larger."
"A girl is entitled to be a little temperamental from time to time," Mother Lan laughed.
"Little temper tantrums are no big deal, but if they happen too frequently and spoil her character, then there’s trouble." Grandma Gu lightly shook her head, "During the New Year, you all kept me and the old master in the dark. Yet, secrets can’t be kept forever. I’ve heard whispers around the courtyard about Xiao’en’s doings these past six months. If it weren’t for fear that the old master couldn’t handle the news, I would have called you all back for a proper inquiry."

"Mom~," Mother Gu looked surprised, "You know?"
"What I should know, I know, and what I shouldn’t know, I know too!" Grandma Gu nodded her head, "Sure, not letting the old master know about her major car accident was the right thing to do. But, in the past six months, she really has made many mistakes. Oh right, have you seen the nanny? Why hasn’t she returned after being out for so long?"
