Chapter 113 113, Cancel the Engagement

"Have you prepared Chongba's mother's medicine?" Mu Yun suddenly thought of this matter again.

"I've endured it. I took it yesterday."

"Okay, then I'll go take a look. How about you go there too?"

"Not going."

Su Yue is very repulsive to Chong Ba and his mother.

Mu Yunjiang smiled, tilted his head and asked: "Ah Yue, why do you hate Chongba so much? Tell the truth, you can't hide it."

Su Yue turned her head, with a look of awkwardness on her pretty face, "I'm going to boil the water. It's time for the girl to take a bath later... She smells bad..."

After dissecting the body, although Mu Yunjiang washed his hands, there was still a trace of odor on his body, and Su Yue could smell it as soon as he smelled it.

"Then thank you Ayue."

Mu Yunjiang did not force her, but turned around and went to the servant's courtyard.

Chongba's mother was sitting at the door, holding a sewing basket in her hand, sewing something. When she saw Mu Yunjiang coming, she immediately came forward with a smile on her face:

"Miss Qi, Miss Qi, you are here. I drank your medicine and my body is really well. Thank you... You are truly a living Bodhisattva."

She kowtowed directly.

Mu Yunjiang hurriedly helped the person up, "Mother Chong, you don't have to thank me. I wanted to use your son to help look after the home and nursery before treating you. You are asked to help me, and I will help you..."

"The girl is really good at joking. It is obvious that she is kind to us mother and son... It doesn't matter who cares for my little eight, but she has relieved me of many years of suffering... I really remember this kindness.

!”

Mother Chong is a warm-hearted person, smiling, optimistic, and good at talking.

Mu Yunjiang chatted with her for a few more words, checked her pulse, and made sure that the poison had been cured. Then she was about to leave with satisfaction, but was stopped by Chong's mother: "Miss Qi, I want to ask you something.

Is Miss Suyue worthy of someone else?"

"I'm not worthy enough. Why, does Mother Chong like her and want her to be your daughter-in-law?"

Mu Yunjiang remembered that in her previous life, Chongba's mother loved Su Yue very much.

"Yeah, I think she is a perfect match for my Xiaoba. That's right, Miss Suyue doesn't seem to like my Xiaoba very much... Looking back, you still ask the girl to help match you? My Xiaoba can be regarded as the queen of the aristocratic family, that is...

Now he is in despair...but my son will definitely have a future..."

Every mother has this expectation for her son: "Mother Chong, don't worry, your son will definitely have a good future in the future."

With such a mother-in-law, she feels that Su Yue's life will be more exciting - which is good.

Chong's mother suddenly became happy: "That's necessary. If you follow the right master, you will definitely have a bright future..."

Look, he can talk a lot.

At this moment, Guan Guan ran over and yelled:

"Miss Qi, Miss Qi, someone is coming from the east courtyard and they are making a fuss at the door. Go and take a look..."

Mu Yunjiang suddenly raised her eyebrows, wondering why the people over there weren't done yet. She immediately picked up her skirt and ran out.

Unexpectedly, Mother Chong smiled slightly, doing needlework, and murmured: "Old Monster Jiang, you have made a good disciple, you really took good care of my illness, and you will live up to my duty."

Capital City for so many years...

"That's right, this child is so powerful, I don't know who would be lucky enough to marry her... You old monster, if you want her to go back to Tiandu City now, have you already thought about who to assign her to?"

A gust of breeze blew by, quickly blowing away the murmur.

forecourt.

door.

The people in the big house could not enter the small courtyard and were cursing outside, attracting many people to watch.

Because there is someone standing at the door holding a sword.

That person was none other than Chongpachi.

People outside wanted to come in, but were blocked.

The person who wanted to break in was Mrs. Zheng of the East Courtyard.

She was furious when she saw that the lackey she once had was now working as a janitor for the second room and working against her!

Standing outside, Mrs. Zheng had a calm expression on her face and started scolding:

"Chongba, you bastard, you eat, drink, and use the east courtyard's food. What benefits does the west courtyard give you? You fall out as soon as you say you want to, and you just become a watchdog for the west courtyard? Yes."

Are you so treacherous?"

"Madam, if Chongba takes one month's worth of silver from you, I will serve as your bodyguard for one month. I said I will not take this month's money with you. My contract with the madam has also expired. Since I have no relationship with the madam,

According to the contract, it’s up to me to decide who I want to be the bodyguard of… it’s none of your business…”

Chongba also fell out with his former employer on the spot.

In fact, he has disliked this eldest lady for a long time - she is just a member of a small military general's family, and day by day, she is making herself look like she is the most powerful in the whole city.

"Are you going to get out of the way? Today, I have to go in... No one can stop me..."

Mrs. Zheng gritted her teeth and ordered, with her usual unscrupulous attitude.

Chongba bowed, his body like a door panel motionless, "I'm sorry, my master said:

"When my father was seriously ill, the East Hospital didn't come to visit; my wife had been in a coma, and no one from the East Hospital asked her about her welfare; Mr. Sanlang was arrested, and the East Hospital ignored him. Now that everything is fine here, there is no need for the East Hospital to care...

"Master also said that when people from the east courtyard come, please send your greetings... It's up to the master to decide whether to see you or not. After all, there are two families now. If you are unkind, you can't blame this side for being unjust, right?

"

With these words, the people in the east courtyard were ridiculed to the point of being worthless, and they were even trampled under their feet.

"How dare you, I am the elder. Even if you have already lived in separate houses, you are still a member of the Mu family tree. I am the wife of the family head. You are a little guard. If you dare to do the following... Who can borrow your courage?"

Mrs. Zheng was jumping up and down there, wishing to accuse him immediately.

From a distance, Mu Yunjiang could hear their conversation, and she was very satisfied with Chongba's current attitude as the protector.

"Who is this, yelling at our door?"

She responded loudly and walked out slowly.

Chongba immediately retreated to the side.

As soon as Mrs. Zheng saw Mu Yunjiang, this little bitch, the fire in her heart burned even more intensely, and she immediately pointed at her and shouted:

"Damn girl, hurry up and welcome me in, and ask your father to come out immediately. Today, I want to make a good comment in front of your father... Is there anyone who disobeys the elders like you? We uphold filial piety and respect the elders.

, you instruct a nursing home to humiliate the elderly, which is unacceptable under the law."

From beginning to end, she was arrogant.

Mu Yun Jiang Qianqian bowed as a junior, but then continued:

"Auntie, what you said is not true. Since we all live in separate houses, everyone should live their own lives. Now that you come to other people's houses, you have to abide by other people's rules.

"In our family, my mother is sick and my father is also sick. We closed the door to thank guests. What's wrong with you? How can the host not want to see guests, and you can still forcefully break in? The patient has to be taken care of quietly, why do you insist on it?

Have you met? My father doesn’t have much energy to preside over the review right now.

"Now, we juniors will discuss and deal with family matters together. If you have any opinions, please tell us juniors. How can you disturb the elders' recuperation?

"If my father gets angry with you and does something bad again, you will definitely not be willing to take on this responsibility, and we juniors can't take it either. Then it will be another inexplicable lawsuit.

"So, if you have something to do, just say it at the door, and then please come back...

"Look, you have a loud voice and if you yell here, the neighbors will think you are here to bully our juniors. That would be too embarrassing for General Mu's mansion..."

When Mrs. Zheng heard it, it seemed to make sense. She had spoken too hastily just now, and many passers-by behind her were already pointing and saying that she was bullying others.

It really blinded them. It was obvious that they disrespected their elders first.

But this is no longer important. Today, she came here not to get entangled with this dead girl on this matter.

So she endured her anger and changed the topic:

"It's okay if you don't go in. Find someone from your family to come with me."

"Someone from the Deng family is here, and they want to cancel the marriage to your fourth sister just because of the trouble you, this damn girl, have caused recently.

"Not only do they want to break off the engagement, but they also want to claim compensation. Let our Mu family pay the Deng family two thousand taels of silver. Now that the elders of the family are here, they vow to clear this matter up today..."

"Bah, if you just break off the engagement, why do you still want us to lose money? What kind of truth is this?"

Mu Yunjiang glanced at the dark-looking fourth sister Mu Yunwei next to her, and scolded her sharply.

"Who made you do so many embarrassing things? It's reasonable for them to want to break off the engagement. What's the point of yelling at me?

"Today, I came here because I knew that my second brother was ill and couldn't do much work, so I wanted to ask for the power of an agent so that I could handle matters between your family and the Deng family.

"But since you don't understand good people's hearts, it's up to you to make your own comments. Whether it's Muhe or you juniors, you can..."

Mu Yunjiang squinted his eyes as he listened: The Deng family's divorce has also been advanced.

Everyone's fate has changed.

But is the mistress of the East Courtyard really so kind-hearted that she comes to the door in person just to ask for the right to act as an agent?

Why did she smell a conspiracy?

But now, even if Zheng had really set a trap, Mu Yunjiang thought that she had to go this time.

"Okay, then I'll accompany Fourth Sister there. My father can't be disturbed by such trivial matters now."

Mu Yunjiang walked towards Mu Yunwei: "Fourth sister, that person named Deng is not a good person. If the marriage is gone, we can find someone else. In the future, fourth sister can marry a good family."

"It's okay, I don't care."

Mu Yunwei had met the man named Deng, but he didn't look like much.

She had thought about breaking off the engagement before, but she knew her family wouldn't agree, so she didn't make a fuss.

Now that they want to retire, although it is a bit unpleasant for her reputation, it doesn't matter. At most, she will be an old lady for the rest of her life.

"I am the male of the family, how can I be left out of this matter?"

The third brother, Mu Yuntao, suddenly appeared. He turned around and glanced at Mu Yunchu, who hurriedly came out to check after hearing that someone was making trouble: "Sister, you stay at home and watch. Father and mother, come and take care of me."

Mu Yunchu nodded, feeling a little worried, but at the moment, she couldn't think of a better way.

As a result, the group of people made a noise and dispersed like birds and beasts.

The people from the east courtyard left first, while Mu Yuntao went to call for a carriage.

He is considerate of his two younger sisters who walk too slowly. They are also waiting at the other end of the east courtyard. If they go slowly, they will say something about neglect or rudeness. There are a lot of excuses that can always find fault with their second wife.

.

After walking on the road for half an hour, Mu Yuntao and his two sisters arrived at the east courtyard, and the concierge let them in.

They went directly into the main hall.

In the main hall, the head of the family, Mu Jiang, and the mistress, Mrs. Zheng, were sitting.

Sitting in the row on the left are the elders of the Mu family. All of them are gray-haired, but they are the elders of the Mu clan. Maybe their reputation is not as good as that of Mu Jiang now, but I think they were also prosperous back then.

On the other side were people sent by the Deng family. The leader was the head of the Deng family, and Deng Xian, the fourth brother-in-law, was also there, with a look of indifference on his face.

Mu Yuntao stepped forward and bowed.

Mu Yunjiang and Mu Yunwei also bowed.

All the people on stage today are men, except for Mr. Zheng.

In Daliang, matters related to annulment or annulment of marriage must be handled by the men of the clan; women have no say in it.

"Sanlang, how is your father's condition?"

As an eldest uncle, Mu Jiang asked politely about his younger brother's situation.

"It's okay to go back to uncle. But in order not to anger my father to death, I will be fully responsible for everything today..." Mu Yuntao said this in a very aggressive tone.

Mu Jiang's face sank at the rebuke, and he cursed secretly: He really doesn't know what is good and what is good.

"Okay, since my nephew said so, let's talk about how to solve this matter..."

The head of the Deng family jumped out: "Back then, our Deng family married your General Mu's Mansion because we admired the prestige of the General's Mansion. Now, your two families have separated and become notorious. Although our Deng family is a merchant's family,

But he advocates filial piety and respects integrity... Therefore, this marriage can no longer be concluded..."

This person directly put all the responsibility on the second room of the Mu family.

"When we got married, our Deng family used two shops in the capital as hire companies. Now that we want to break off the engagement, we must return the shops, and the income generated by these two shops in the past few years will also be compensated to our Deng family.

.A total of two thousand taels of silver..."

It turned out that the compensation they demanded was actually the store's income over the past few years.

Mu Yuntao smiled coldly and called back immediately: "It is natural that the store should be returned. Why should the profits be returned? That store was not profitable at all when you transferred it to our family. It was my mother who chose another shopkeeper and changed it.

Only by selling the goods can you make a profit.

"This store is no longer the store it was when you transferred it to our family, so it is absolutely impossible to lose money... The store can be returned. The goods inside, as well as the shopkeeper's, are our family's property. You can't even borrow it.

Taking the opportunity for personal gain..."

Mu Yunjiang felt that there was nothing wrong with what he said.

"Hmph, what kind of bastard words are you talking about? If our store wasn't in a good location, where would you get the profit? I'll leave it here today: If you don't return the store and the corresponding profit, then we can only

You go to the Yamen..."

The head of the Deng family had a sullen face and uttered harsh words.

He understood very clearly: Now the second wife of the Mu family, Mu He and his wife, could only breathe a sigh of relief. With so many juniors, how could they defeat the Deng family?

Moreover, he had already made an agreement with Zheng that as long as Muhe agreed to compensate, the two thousand silver would belong to Zheng and the right to operate the store would be taken away by their family.

This is called mutual benefit, otherwise they wouldn't have come here...
