Chapter 1719 - 1714: Qin Xianglan Turns Coat

Mu Shuangshuang hadn’t yet spoken when Mu Dalang spoke first.

"The smell on this woman is the same as on Uncle!"

When Qin Xianglan came to the Old Mu Family, Mu Dalang had already moved out, so he didn’t know much about Qin Xianglan.

But looking at Qin Xianglan, he thought she wasn’t someone easy to deal with, so naturally, he didn’t have a good attitude towards her.

"Big cousin, don’t talk about this anymore in the future!" Mu Shuangshuang said faintly.

Mu Dalang was taken aback, then suddenly understood.

"I got it!" Mu Dalang replied.

Mu Shuangshuang nodded. The filthy business of Mu Dade was something she didn’t even want to mention to Mu Dalang, lest it dirtied his ears.

Moreover, it’s better for Mu Dalang not to know this!

"It’s getting late, let’s go home!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

A group of people returned to the house in the county, where Mu Shuangshuang and Huang Bita prepared dinner, while Lu Yuanfeng and Mu Dalang helped out in the kitchen.

Everyone was happily cooking, then eating.

After dinner, Mu Dalang took Huang Bita to the night market, while Yuanbao, Xiao Han, and Little Zhi bought some snacks they wanted at the nearby market.

Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng stayed back at the house to discuss the possible situations at Mu Dandan’s wedding.

Three groups of people were almost simultaneously busy with their own matters.

Mu Shuangshuang said to Lu Yuanfeng, "If Uncle gets arrested tomorrow, should we talk about Taohua with the County Magistrate? Or... just let Taohua stay in the countryside forever?"

Ultimately, Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng were most worried about two things.

The first thing was that the child in Taohua’s belly was the County Magistrate’s.

The second thing naturally involved Ruan Xiao Jiao, as the child in her belly was Mu Dade’s.

If Mu Dade were simply thrown into prison, Mu Shuangshuang guessed that in no time, Ruan Xiao Jiao would find a way to fish Mu Dade out.

As for whether Mu Dade could be reinstated, it would depend on Ruan Xiao Jiao’s weight in the County Magistrate’s eyes.

But such an accident, Mu Shuangshuang would not allow to happen.

It’s either all or nothing for her.

At least, make sure Mu Dade can’t ever recover!

"It’s impossible for Taohua to stay in the countryside forever! After all, there’s definitely a County Magistrate’s child in her belly. If she stays in the countryside forever, that child would be fatherless and surely mocked when grown!"

"As for your uncle, regardless of the punishment, it’s his fate! Back then, when he thought about plotting to kill for money, he didn’t leave a way out for others!" Lu Yuanfeng said.

Mu Shuangshuang naturally agreed with Lu Yuanfeng’s words.

In fact, she thought the same in her heart.

But she also worried that revealing these matters would drag the whole Old Mu Family down.

Her fourth uncle’s family, her parents, are all honest and straightforward people. If they were to be harmed by Mu Dade for no reason.

She feared she would feel guilty for the rest of her life.

"Fengzi, I think these words shouldn’t come from our mouths!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

"Then whose mouth?" Lu Yuanfeng asked.

"Mrs. Jin! Ultimately, this woman is the most ruthless of the lot! And last time, after I reminded her about Mu Dade and Ruan Xiao Jiao, outwardly she seemed subdued by Mu Dade.

But today, Niu Laoscar told me he found someone to follow Mrs. Jin, discovering she occasionally follows Mu Dade and even witnessed meetings between Ruan Xiao Jiao and Mu Dade.

She’s probably also brewing a big plan internally, and perhaps... she’ll settle the score with Mu Dade after Mu Dandan’s wedding."

The reason for choosing the word ’after Mu Dandan’s wedding’ is because Mu Shuangshuang knows that regardless of how mean Mrs. Jin is, she won’t ruin her two daughters.

Because she only has two daughters, losing a husband means she can find another.

But if she loses her daughters, she’s lost her family.

"Then we’ll act accordingly tomorrow!" Lu Yuanfeng said.

"Alright! If there’s any problem, we’ll let Big Cousin leave the table early!" Mu Shuangshuang said worriedly.

Mu Shuangshuang was worried about the incident at the wedding tomorrow.

Meanwhile, someone on the Old Mu Family’s side was losing sleep over the same concern.

Mrs. Jin sat alone on a bench in the backyard, gazing at the moon.

Countless ways to punish Mu Dade flashed through her mind.

Her husband, unclear with another woman, kept deceiving her again and again.

Even now, in the Old Mu Family, she’s nothing more than a disgraced wife without rights!

A disgraced wife has no status and could be thrown out anytime.

Yet, that man kept fooling around outside time and again.

Mrs. Jin clenched her fists tightly, with an unformed plan already brewing in her mind.

She intended to castrate this man, for she no longer hoped for a son in this life.

If she can’t have one, neither can anyone else!

Thinking of this, a malicious expression appeared on Mrs. Jin’s face.

As she was planning when to put this into action, several fast footsteps suddenly approached from behind.

"Who is it?" Mrs. Jin asked alertly.

"It’s me..." Qin Xianglan whispered.

Upon hearing Qin Xianglan’s voice, Mrs. Jin’s brows instantly furrowed.

This woman appeared most frequently in the family.

Although seeming honest, Mrs. Jin never liked her.

Even after this long time, she never discovered any faults of Qin Xianglan.

The more this persisted, the more suspicious it seemed.

Being affiliated with the Old Mu Family, how could one remain pure and undefiled?

Either too simple-minded or too scheming.

Mrs. Jin naturally leaned towards the latter.

This woman was not an easy one.

"What do you want?" Mrs. Jin posed with the guise of the mistress.

The backyard was brightly lit with red lanterns everywhere, making it almost effortless to see the expressions on each other’s faces.

"Madam, there’s a matter I don’t know whether to tell you..."

Qin Xianglan lowered her posture and even called Mrs. Jin ’Madam’

However, she didn’t feel embarrassed at all.

As long as she could get money, it was fine!

"Speak!" Mrs. Jin said coolly.

"Madam... forget it, I better not say!" Qin Xianglan suddenly said.

Then turned to leave.

Mrs. Jin’s interest was just piqued only to be forcibly snuffed. How could she tolerate it?

"Stop!" Mrs. Jin commanded.

"Since you’re here, state your business directly! What’s with all this hesitation!" Mrs. Jin said fiercely.

Qin Xianglan curled her lips into a cold smile before turning and speaking to Mrs. Jin, "A big matter, but you’ll need to pay for this information!"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Jin didn’t get angry but instead showed a proud smile.

She thought, this woman was just like she suspected, not an easy one.

Finally, the fox’s tail had been revealed.

"What kind of information?" Mrs. Jin asked.

"It’s about your life and death!" Qin Xianglan answered truthfully.
