The elders listened to Mu Yichen's instructions to the household staff and continued eating their porridge as if nothing happened, though they felt reassured inside.
Qin Mu wanted to refuse his kindness—she could drink the porridge once it cooled a bit—but considering the elders might worry, she kept quiet and only thanked the aunt when she brought her a cup of hot milk.

The old man finally looked up while almost finishing his breakfast and reminded Mu Yichen in a gentle tone.
"What do you say about this matter?"
Mu Yichen suddenly turned to look at Qin Mu after hearing the question. Qin Mu, holding her milk cup, didn't remain silent upon his inquiry. She just lifted her eyelids and then calmly said to him, "Why not give him a call to ask?"
