Aunt Song was slapped several tis, her face swollen like a bun, and she swore she wouldn’t let Mu Shuangshuang have it easy.
"Little bitch, seducing my son, I won’t let you off easily!"
Aunt Song cursed for a long ti, and just as she was about to leave the Old Mu Family’s courtyard, soone rushed out.
It was Mrs. Lin, who had heard everything that had happened earlier.
She even knew Aunt Song’s identity clearly.
"Oh, little sister-in-law, don’t leave, why not co to my house for a bit?" Mrs. Lin said with a grin, her face ingratiating, as she spoke to Aunt Song.
"Who are you? Soone from the Old Mu Family?" Aunt Song replied coldly.
Aunt Song’s son was a scholar, sothing Mrs. Lin was most concerned about.
If she could marry her own Qing to Aunt Song’s son, she’d beco the mother-in-law of a scholar.
Having a son-in-law who’s an official is much better than one’s own brother being an official.
By that ti, not only the third branch, but even the main branch would have to bow to the second branch!
"Little sister-in-law, don’t look at like this. Although I’m from the Old Mu Family, the third branch is not. When the third branch made so Silver, they refused to live with our Old Mu Family and forcibly took land from us.
That’s one thing, but now that my elder brother’s passed the scholar exam, the third branch wants to co back! I saw you in front of the third branch’s courtyard. Could it be their bratty girl hit you?
That girl is ruthless, hitting many people! Little sister-in-law, you better co back with , apply so dicine, so the wound heals faster!"
At Mrs. Lin’s opening remarks, she deaned Mu Shuangshuang rcilessly.
Previously, Aunt Song was a bit skeptical, but after listening to Mrs. Lin’s words, she had another idea.
Her son An always says that the little fox spirit is kind, but if the family all says she’s bad, whose fault is it then?
"Then I’ll trouble you to lead the way, sister!"
Mrs. Lin was so happy her mouth split open, revealing a set of big yellow teeth.
Aunt Song found it extrely awkward. Mrs. Lin, wearing such shabby clothes, was completely different from her usual deanor and habits.
Ordinarily, Aunt Song wouldn’t even dare to get close!
Mrs. Lin led Aunt Song into her own ho, and as soon as they entered, she pulled over Mu Qingqing for an introduction. "Little sister-in-law, this is my eldest daughter, Mu Qingqing. You can call her Qing."
"Raised since childhood by her father and as a rich lady, not only is she good-looking and filial, but most importantly, she can take care of people. The younger brother in the family was raised by Qing. If you have a baby in the future, she’s sure to take good care of it!"
Mrs. Lin complinted Mu Qingqing both overtly and subtly. Aunt Song, being a shrewd person, naturally saw through Mrs. Lin’s intentions.
She turned her gaze to Mu Qingqing.
Mu Qingqing had an oval face with delicate features, and having converted the clothing Mrs. Liu gave her into Silver, she now had so spare money to dress herself up.
So Mu Qingqing looked no different from a lady of a wealthy family.
But a peasant is, after all, a peasant!
She couldn’t just push aside the little fox spirit Mu Shuangshuang and bring another peasant into her ho, even as a concubine!
"Hello, Aunt!" Mu Qingqing said obediently to Aunt Song.
Mu Qingqing didn’t know what was happening, but she understood that anyone her mother brought ho was certainly a big man.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t sneak out to et this woman behind her grandma’s back.
"Qingqing, my surna is Song and my husband’s surna is Liu. Your mother is a good person, knowing I was hit by Mu Shuangshuang, she brought over to apply so dicine. I don’t have much to give you.
When my son achieves success and becos a high official in the Capital, I’ll surely repay you well!"
"Little sister-in-law, no need for repaynt talk, consider this your own ho! Qing, you should go make so tea and bring out the dicinal ointnt to apply to your Aunt Song’s wounds!"
Mrs. Lin, being rare in her gentle deanor, made Mu Qingqing all the more certain that Aunt Song’s identity wasn’t simple.
Their family indeed had so dicinal ointnt, as her mother was often beaten by her grandma. However, for tea leaves, she’d likely need to go to her uncle’s place to obtain them.
Mu Qingqing went out, heading directly to the Old Mu Family’s wing. Passing by Mu Xiangxiang’s room, she couldn’t resist but went in to check.
As soon as she entered, Mu Xiangxiang rushed over, carrying a long bench in her hand, aiming to hit her head. Mu Qingqing swiftly dodged and exited the room.
In truth, Mu Xiangxiang couldn’t even touch Mu Xiangxiang, but Mu Qingqing was simply scared.
Mu Dade had soone make a pair of shackles for Mu Xiangxiang, which reached just a tad to the door. But she couldn’t reach the door.
"Aunt, you’re like this, why are you still charging? I heard that uncle and grandpa have scraped together fifty taels for your dowry!"
Mu Qingqing felt sowhat aggrieved. Her own elder brother’s marriage was so desolate, yet a married-off aunt was treated with such grandeur.
It’s unfair!
"Aunt, whenever you agree to marry, that’s when grandma will let you out! Otherwise, you’ll never get out in this lifeti. If you don’t marry the Qin Family, uncle’s face will be lost."
"You’re talking nonsense, you little bitch, co in if you dare. I’ll tell mother about all the terrible things you and your mother did and have her skin you alive!"
From inside, Mu Xiangxiang’s furious shouting could be heard. It seed she could talk now, but her voice was as hoarse as anticipated by the doctor, like scraping old tree bark.
"Enough. Aunt, you’re like this, still thinking of tattling? Grandma already punished my mother before, she won’t care about you anymore, otherwise do you think you’d be marrying into the Qin Family?
Grandma favors uncle’s family. As for you, aunt... why don’t you go cool off sowhere?"
Inside, suddenly there was a barrage of sounds of things being smashed.
It seed Mu Xiangxiang was venting her anger by throwing things.
Mu Qingqing couldn’t be happier.
The ssier the Old Mu Family gets, the better.
Anyway, she could just go to Mrs. Liu!
Mu Qingqing headed to Mu Dade’s house, borrowed so tea leaves, and hadn’t yet left Mu Dade’s house when Mu Dandan said sarcastically, "Qingqing, you should find so ti to tell aunt too, if this family needs sothing, it should be bought. How much is a can of tea worth?
Two or three taels of silver at most, if you keep asking from others, they might resent it, maybe even curse behind your back! But Qingqing, we’re family, our main branch certainly won’t mind," said Mu Dandan.
Mrs. Jin said nothing, seeming to acquiesce to this behavior.
Mu Yingying covered her mouth, snickering, "Qingqing, don’t listen to your sister’s nonsense. No matter how valuable this tea is, it’s for drinking, using it to entertain guests is perfect.
But if you’re reluctant to drink it yourself, find so ti to co to the main branch, I’ll make tea for you. Making tea is an art, after all. Not just a pot of hot water and a handful of tea leaves!"
Mu Dandan and Mu Yingying’s back-and-forth left Mu Qingqing red in the face with anger.
She took the tiny bit of tea, no bigger than a thumb, and dashed out of the main branch.
Behind her, the laughter of Mu Dandan and Mu Yingying echoed far away!
Hearing it, Mu Qingqing felt the people of the main branch were mocking her!
