Mrs. Jin’s comforting words sowhat had an effect!
Mr. Mu was a bit more open-minded, so be it if he didn’t succeed!
It wouldn’t be too bad to get an official position in the county!
At that ti, their whole family could go to the county and live a good life!
"Oh dear, mother’s forehead is still bleeding!" Mrs. Jin pointed at Old Mrs. Mu’s forehead.
It was only then that Mr. Mu noticed, not knowing when, his wife’s head was covered in blood...
"Xiangxiang... Xiangxiang..." Mr. Mu was anxious.
With so much blood lost, Old Mrs. Mu’s face was sowhat pale, and her reactions were a bit sluggish.
Mrs. Jin deliberately shouted: "Dad, I’m afraid sothing’s wrong with mother!"
"Ah? Call the doctor, go call the doctor..." Mr. Mu said.
Mrs. Jin quickly signaled to Old Mrs. Jin.
Old Mrs. Jin took over the conversation: "Oh, sir... Our doctor here just went out for an appointnt today, probably won’t be back for days!
How about... we get a car and take mother-in-law back to find a doctor? But mother-in-law’s forehead is injured and still bleeding, at least it needs to be stopped before going back!"
"Dad, I’ve learned a thod in the Capital that has a particularly good effect on stopping bleeding, it’s said to be commonly used by Imperial Physicians, should I try it on mother?" Mrs. Jin asked.
"Alright... alright!" Mr. Mu nodded repeatedly.
"Quick, quick!"
Mrs. Jin didn’t hesitate and instructed the household to bring over a jar of salt, and directed them to remove the bandage from Old Mrs. Mu’s forehead.
But because of the bleeding, the bandage had long adhered to the flesh on the forehead, and if forcibly removed, who knew how much more blood would flow.
Mrs. Jin didn’t care.
In front of Mr. Mu, she let the person pull it off.
"Eldest daughter-in-law, is... is this okay?" Mr. Mu was sowhat afraid.
"Dad, the Imperial Physicians do this, don’t worry, I won’t harm mother!" Mrs. Jin said softly.
After hearing this, Mr. Mu temporarily put his mind at ease.
However, he still couldn’t watch the bloody scene.
So Mr. Mu went out.
Mrs. Jin watched him leave, and with a cold smile, ripped off the bandage from the top of Old Mrs. Mu’s head.
"Ah..." Old Mrs. Mu scread, then started to punch and kick Mrs. Jin, cursing continuously.
Mrs. Jin signaled to her mother and Mu Dandan, Mu Yingying.
The three of them pressed Old Mrs. Mu onto the chair.
Mrs. Jin put her hand into the salt jar, grabbed a handful of salt, and stepped toward the struggling Old Mrs. Mu...
In almost a blink of an eye, Mrs. Jin pressed a handful of salt onto the top of Old Mrs. Mu’s head.
How painful must it be to sprinkle salt on a wound?
Old Mrs. Mu began to scream, and after screaming, started to convulse!
Outside, hearing the screams, Mr. Mu felt a chill in his heart, but rembered what the eldest daughter-in-law said, it was a thod used in the Capital.
He could only patiently wait!
With one handful of salt, the forehead quickly turned red, Mrs. Jin used a second handful, a third....
After a jar of salt, Old Mrs. Mu’s throat was hoarse from shouting!
The blood, surprisingly, really stopped flowing!
Mrs. Jin called Mr. Mu in and told Old Mrs. Jin to find soone to carry Old Mrs. Mu.
By this ti, Old Mrs. Mu was already on her last breath, with no strength left to even open her eyes...
——
Xing Beichen returned to the third branch around dusk.
Upon returning, Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng subtly expressed their wish for him to write a letter of protection.
Xing Beichen imdiately agreed.
He even comforted Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng: "Don’t worry, other things might not work, but for your County Magistrate, I have so influence!"
Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng both nodded.
Lu Yuanfeng even said: "In this case, we’ll trouble Brother Beichen!"
"It’s no trouble, it’s rely writing a letter. But, what do I write? By the way, what exactly is the reason for asking to write this?"
Xing Beichen was curious!
Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng spoke hesitantly.
Neither said exactly why they wanted him to write a letter of protection!
If he writes it, it seems abrupt!
If he doesn’t believe them, that’s impossible!
Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng discussed for a mont and decided to be candid with Xing Beichen!
Although it’s not a glorious matter!
They thought Xing Beichen might find it embarrassing, but to their surprise, he appeared completely indifferent!
"I thought it was sothing serious, I’ve seen quite a bit of this stealing affairs stuff!"
Xing Beichen wasn’t bragging!
In the Capital, how many of the wealthy families are clean?
There are those who cheat with brothels, and those with housewives!
But the Xing Family didn’t have such matters, as his father died early and the concubines in the mansion were long dismissed.
His mother had already renounced worldly affairs early on and now practices vegetarianism and prayer.
"So how do you plan to help us write this letter?" Mu Shuangshuang asked.
Xing Beichen shook his head: "Don’t write!"
"Ah?" Mu Shuangshuang looked perplexed!
"What I an is, the letter cannot be written! If it’s written, won’t the County Magistrate know that you also know his hat is green?
Even if he forgives you, he will certainly make trouble behind your backs!"
Xing Beichen stated.
Actually, his words were already considered by Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng.
Their idea was to first ensure safety!
Once safe, then deal with the subsequent issues!
"Xing Beichen, how do we extricate ourselves from this matter without writing the letter?" Mu Shuangshuang asked.
"That’s simple! Here, take this!" Xing Beichen suddenly took out a token from his body!
The token was made of copper, seemingly aged.
Moreover, it had the word ’Ning’ inscribed on it, causing Mu Shuangshuang to frown.
Then Xing Beichen explained: "This is my father’s token, I’ve carried it with over the years! It’s the glory of the previous generation of the Xing Family! Now, I give this token to you!
If one day, as you and Fengzi said, the County Magistrate finds out about your uncle and his concubine’s affair, you can take out the token and tell the County Magistrate who you wish to protect!"
"No... no! This thing is too precious, I can’t take it!" Mu Shuangshuang shook her hands repeatedly!
Xing Ningtian’s token, no need to think, must be extrely important to Xing Beichen!
"Brother Beichen, this is the thing your father left to you, there’s no need to give it to Shuangshuang!" Lu Yuanfeng said.
"No, this isn’t sothing my father left for ! What he left for was his indomitable spirit!
Fengzi, Shuangshuang, if you truly regard as a friend, take the token! Besides... Shuangshuang might need it in the future!"
Xing Beichen wasn’t sure if Lu Yuanfeng had told Mu Shuangshuang about going to the Northwest.
But if Fengzi really goes, Shuangshuang at ho might face troubles.
Seeing she couldn’t refuse, Mu Shuangshuang accepted the token.
She didn’t forget to say to Xing Beichen: "When you and Fengzi return victorious, I’ll give the token back to you!"
"You... you know?" Xing Beichen was full of surprise!
"Yes! I support his decision!"
