At the critical moment, the guards rescued the man.

Yu was so frightened that her eyes were dull.

Everyone at the scene breathed a sigh of relief, except for the charming woman who frowned.

Mu Wanqing saw it all and shook her head slightly.

Mu Yujun walked over and tried to help Yu up, but was pushed away by Yu. Her face was filled with grief and indignation. "We were husband and wife, and you want to kill me for a woman."

"No, it was an accident." Mu Yujun looked anxious, "You have to believe me."

Yu's heart was completely chilled, "Get lost."

Mu Yujun wanted to say something, but the charming woman spoke first, "Sister Yu, how can you be so ruthless and cold? How can you humiliate a man in public?"

"Puchi." Mu Wanqing couldn't help laughing, "How funny, is this a person who was born into an actor family?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Mu Yujun turned his head sharply and looked at Mu Wanqing in the crowd. Although her face was covered, this voice... he would never forget it even if he was beaten to death.

The charming woman also looked over. Mu Wanqing's face was covered, but her temperament and figure were extremely outstanding. A hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes.

She clung to Mu Yujun's arm and complained tenderly, "Brother Mu, this cunning woman is bullying me."

Mu Yujun was so frightened that he pushed her away subconsciously, "Clan... Clan leader."

It’s all over, what should I do?

Yu was extremely surprised. What a coincidence? Did she see everything?

Mu Wanqing raised her eyebrows, "Mu Yujun, you have made great progress."

Her tone was light, but it made Mu Yujun tremble and wave his hands frantically, "No, no, you misunderstood, she is just my savior, she and I..."

Although he is much older than Mu Wanqing, his awe for Mu Wanqing is engraved in his bones.

This is a ruthless character who is so powerful that he can cut his own uncle's tendons without blinking an eye.

Mu Wanqing waved her hand, not wanting to listen to his explanation. "Notify them that the clan meeting will be held at the old place at 7pm. Everyone over the age of seven must attend. Oh, and bring this woman along as well."

"She is not from our Mu family, so there is no need for that..." Mu Yujun was sweating profusely, his mind was working fast, he was only thinking about how to escape.

Mu Wanqing's aura suddenly changed, and the aura of a superior overwhelmed the entire audience. "You want to disobey my order? Have you considered the consequences?"

Mu Yujun closed his eyes and said, "I don't dare."

He was really out of his mind. He knew that she had returned to Liangcheng, but he didn't control himself...

Mu Wanqing looked at the other party and said, "Yu, you go back and rest first. Bring the children with you when the time comes. They are all seven years old now. It will be good for them to see more of the world."

Yu was confused and bewildered, with all the clan rules in her mind. She responded subconsciously, "Yes, clan leader."

Mu Wanqing waved her hand and said, "Let's all go."

After saying this, she continued shopping in the mall with her group, never even looking at the charming woman.

The charming woman's eyes flickered, and she exclaimed, "Qingping..."

Before she could finish her words, Mu Yujun covered her mouth and dragged her aside. She didn't want to reveal her identity. You have to bring it up, do you want to die?

If you want to die, just stop dragging me down.

The charming woman watched Mu Wanqing walk away, feeling very angry.

But, she couldn't show it on her face, "Brother Mu, I just want to say a few good words for you. I believe Princess Qingping is a reasonable person."

"Let's think about how to escape this disaster." Mu Yujun was confused. He was afraid of no one but this cruel clan leader. "Mei Niang, Princess Qingping is not an ordinary woman. You should be careful with your words tonight."

He warned solemnly, "Remember, don't say anything you shouldn't say."

There is still some time before seven o'clock, and there is still time to fix the leak, so hurry back.

"What are you afraid of?" Mei Niang saw that his face was solemn and didn't dare to say anything more. "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Although Mu Wanqing did not reveal her identity in public, some smart people guessed it. They met her intentionally or unintentionally, chatted with her, and pretended to be ignorant and tried to make friends with her.

Mu Wanqing felt a little annoyed and didn't stay in the mall for long. She found a store to change her clothes, then ran to the auction house with a new look, hoping that she could find some treasure.

As soon as she reached the door of the auction house, she saw a young girl walking out in a daze, holding a long box in her hand.

Two men chased out and blocked her way, "Ms. Miao, I'll pay one thousand taels of silver for your painting."

The girl's eyes widened in disbelief. "What did you say? One thousand taels? The appraiser said it's worth at least five thousand taels."

She just came to ask about the price, and she would have to go back and discuss whether to auction it.

A man dressed very flamboyantly curled his lips and said, "Do you know what it means to have a high price but no one to buy it? No matter how high the price is, what's the use if no one buys it? I am willing to pay a thousand because I feel sorry for you. If it were someone else, a hundred taels would be enough to make a lot of money."

"Go and ask around. Does the Mu family need to spend money to buy things?"

Mu Wanqing paused. Mu family?

Miss Miao's expression changed several times, and she was very apprehensive. "Are you a member of the Mu family?"

The man held his head high, showing off arrogantly, "My last name is Dong, and I'm called Third Master Dong. My sister is the daughter-in-law of the Mu family. I'm her only brother, and she loves me the most. Not to mention a painting, she can even get me rare treasures."

Mu Wanqing: ...I feel so tired. What the hell is this? The Mu family’s reputation has been damaged like this.

Miss Miao gritted her teeth and said, "I'm not selling it. Get out of the way."

Dong San said aggressively, "Don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit. If you offend the Mu family, you will suffer the consequences."

The threat in his words made Miss Miao pale, "You...what do you want to do?"

"If you don't want your family to be ruined, give me the painting." Dong San was particularly arrogant and unreasonable. "Ajin, give her one hundred taels."

Miss Miao was furious and angry, "Didn't you say one thousand taels?"

If there was no other choice, he would not be willing to sell the ancient paintings passed down from his ancestors. No, my father might not be willing to sell them.

Dong San snorted coldly, "I changed my mind. Who told you to be so ignorant?"

Miss Miao's face turned red with anger, and she could no longer endure it, "You are clearly robbing me by force."

The man was fearless and arrogant. "Yes, go ahead and sue me. I'll see who dares to touch me. My sister is the most valued daughter-in-law of the Mu family. Everyone praises her."

"Hurry up and bring it here." Looking at his skillful movements, it is obvious that he does this many times.

Miss Miao was sweating and panicking, and subconsciously looked around for help.

But no one dared to cause trouble and tried to avoid it.

Miss Miao's heart was cold and she was extremely desperate. How could one hundred taels be enough to buy medicine for her seriously ill father?

A clear voice rang out, "Ten thousand taels, I want this painting."

Miss Miao looked over blankly and saw a slender and graceful girl. She couldn't see her face clearly, but her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, and she was a beauty.

"Ten thousand taels? Are you sure?"

Dong San was furious, pointing his finger at Mu Wanqing and shouting, "Who are you to dare to steal my painting?"

Mu Wanqing didn't even look at him, and handed the banknote over with a smile, "Give me the painting, keep the money, and go home early."

Miss Miao suspected that she was dreaming. How could such a good thing happen? With this money, she could buy the best ginseng for medicine, and her father would be saved.

She was extremely moved, but still hesitated, "This... I can't hurt you."

Seeing her act like this, Mu Wanqing's eyes showed a hint of smile. This girl deserves help.

She pointed to the guards behind her and said, "It's okay. No demon or ghost dares to mess with me."

Miss Miao's eyes were filled with tears and she bowed deeply, "Thank you."

She handed the painting to Mu Wanqing with both hands. Dong San rushed over with red eyes to grab the painting, but was kicked away by the guard.

Mu Wanqing took the painting and waved to Miss Miao, who ran away quickly.

She opened the painting and saw that it was a flower and bird painting by a great calligrapher and painter of the previous dynasty, which was very representative.

It’s okay, the loss is not too much, and there is always somewhere to make up for it.

Dong San got up from the ground, his face covered in dust and dirt, and stared at Mu Wanqing. He was confident that he had a backer, so he had nothing to fear. Plus, he was young and energetic, so he refused to run away like that.

"You outsiders can't defeat the Mu family. The government will come to arrest people if the Mu family says one word. People don't fight against officials. If you don't want to die, hand over the painting."

Instead of running away after suffering a loss, he made harsh remarks. What kind of operation is this?

Mu Wanqing said she didn't understand, some people's brains were soaked in too much rain.

She carefully put the old painting away and had to find someone to reframe it. "If you leave now, I will spare your life."

“You are so brave! No one dares to talk to me like this, you…” Dong San suddenly found that the eyes of the woman in front of him were extremely beautiful, bright as stars and as bright as spring.

His heart moved, and his eyes showed greed, "If you are unwilling to take out the painting, then use someone to pay for it. I still need an eighth concubine...ah."

The arm he stretched out broke with a snap, and he let out a shrill scream.

Ah Jin was shocked and angry, and rushed over to support Dong San, "You are so bold that you dare to offend the in-laws of the Mu family. You are finished, the Mu family will not let you go."

Mu Wanqing frowned slightly. She knew when she was in the capital that her clansmen were becoming arrogant, but the situation was more serious than she had imagined.

"Pick their pockets."

At her command, the guards held the two men down, searched them, and took out all the money they had.

There was a large handful of silver bills, which, after counting, amounted to over a thousand taels, as well as a handful of gold leaves and small change.

Mu Wanqing took a quick glance and took the money. "This is considered mental compensation. You're not satisfied, right? I'll be at the auction house this afternoon. Call someone over."

Law enforcement is like fishing, and those who are willing will take the bait.

Throwing down these words, she swaggered into the door of the auction house.

Dong San's eyes were filled with hatred. "Let's go to my sister's house. I will not be a human being if I don't avenge this."

The service attitude of the auction house is really good. They serve refreshments and say nice things to you, making you feel at home.

Mu Wanqing looked at the exquisite snack tray and raised her eyebrows. There were quite a lot of varieties.

The auction house in Liangcheng is naturally run by the government, and it is quite formal. There are also pictures of the auction items for everyone's reference.

Mu Wanqing flipped through the books casually, but didn't find anything she liked. "Are there any Western goods?"

The staff member smiled and said, "There are a few new pots of plants that have not been pictured yet, but we don't know what kind of plants they are, so we can only take pictures blindly, relying on luck. If we can take pictures of something like the kapok, it will be worth our life."

That is to say, when you open a blind box, it’s hard to say what the contents are that no one has ever seen before.

This is a trend started by Mu Wanqing. Ever since she was crowned as a county lady thanks to Mumian, everyone wants to follow suit and take advantage of the situation.

"Are there any pictures?"

The staff member shook his head slightly and said, "No, it will be auctioned randomly later." The price of this kind of thing will not be high and it is not worth all the trouble.

Okay, Mu Wanqing will just take this as a way to kill time.

However, when a pot of plants was brought to the stage, Mu Wanqing sat up straight. Isn’t this an onion?

Scrambled eggs with onions, fried beef with onions, onion rings, pork chops with onions, it’s versatile.

"The starting price is one hundred taels of silver, and the minimum increment is ten taels."

The auction started, but the people below were not very enthusiastic, mainly because they complained that the smell was bad and did not seem edible.

I also think the starting price is too high and not worth the money.

"Two hundred taels." Mu Wanqing directly reported a number and no one argued with her.

She easily collected the onions and decided not to eat them right away, but to plant them on the farm.

Mu Wanqing didn't like the others and just watched the fun from the side.

I have to say that there are a lot of rich people in Liangcheng with strong financial resources. The items they auction are also varied and include everything.

After the auction was over, Mu Wanqing stretched and said, "Let's go back."

As soon as she went out, she heard a voice, "Sister, brother-in-law, she was the one who broke my arm and robbed me of my money."

It was Dong San who came with his men. Mu Wanqing glanced at them indifferently. This was the eldest son of the seventh room, Mu Bo. It turned out that he was Dong San's brother-in-law.

As for the young new bride, she was Dong San's sister, but she had never seen her before.

Very good, everyone is here.

Scumbags, tremble.
