At this moment, a group of people came out from nowhere and rushed over.

"Oh my God, what's going on?"

"Isn't this the eldest daughter of the Mu family? I've heard of her reputation for a long time, but why would she appear in a man's room so late at night? And her clothes are disheveled!"

"You guys are actually...sigh, the world is going downhill, people's hearts are no longer the same as they used to be."

Everyone was pointing and talking in shock, saying all sorts of things, the whole place was filled with the excitement of a spectator crowd.

Is there anything more exciting than catching someone cheating in bed?

Oh, although she hasn’t had time to do it yet, her outer shirt is half-undone. Wow, is this the so-called model of a dignified and noble lady?

Faced with the sudden change, Mu Jinyao's mind went blank, his whole body was shaking, and fear came over him like a tidal wave.

It's over, it's all over, she's going to be put in the pig cage.

Her hands were shaking so much that she couldn't hold on to her clothes. Her body was shaky and she was about to faint at any time.

Du Shaoxuan's brows were furrowed, his face looked unhappy, and he was about to lose his temper.

Mu Wanqing frowned slightly, pulled down Du Shaoxuan's hand, walked forward and picked up the coat, put it on Mu Jinyao, and tidied her clothes.

Mu Wanqing looked calm and composed, and spoke in a casual tone, "Cousin, the quality of your dress is too poor. It tore apart when I pulled it casually. It's really not my fault. Otherwise, ask your mother to make you a new dress. You can't be so frugal even if you have to save money."

She smoothed things over as if nothing had happened, leaned close to Tang Qie's ear, and whispered in a low voice, "Calm down, don't panic."

But Mu Jinyao had never encountered such a situation before. She was so ashamed that she couldn't calm down at all.

Seeing that Mu Jinyao was still too frightened to speak, Mu Wanqing sighed silently and pinched her arm gently.

What to do? We still have to make things right.

"Cousin, the soap I asked you to help make today is quite good. I like it very much. Thank you for delivering it to me."

She turned to Du Shaoxuan with a smile on her face, "Mr. Du, do you like my farewell gift?"

Du Shaoxuan looked at her deeply. She was really so kind and honest.

However, kind and honest people are too easy to be hurt.

He became even more worried. What should he do?

For her sake, he cooperated and took out a wooden box. When the box was opened, eight bars of soap in different colors came into view for everyone.

"Yes, I like it very much."

Mu Wanqing pursed her lips. No matter what, the situation was managed.

As for whether others believe it or not, she believes it anyway.

"That's good. It's getting late. Let's go back and rest. You should go to bed early too."

She pulled Mu Jinyao out, and then she seemed to have just discovered some people watching the fun, and exclaimed, "Hey, why aren't you all asleep at this late hour? You're blocking my way, please make way."

She said it as a matter of course and frankly, as if they were really coming together to give each other a gift.

Everyone subconsciously made way.

Mu Wanqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief and pulled the dazed Mu Jinyao to walk faster, but her face became more calm.

As long as I am not embarrassed, it is others who are embarrassed.

As long as I think what I say is the truth, then it is! I will not accept any rebuttal!

Seeing this, Du Shaoxuan's eyes flashed with a faint smile.

What a clever little fellow.

Just as they were about to leave smoothly, people from the Mu family's main branch heard the news and rushed over, blocking the road.

Mu Wanqing couldn't help but curse in her heart, why did he come at this time instead of earlier or later?

Old Madam Mu shouted angrily, "Mu Wanqing, why are you and your cousin here so late at night? Jinyao is different from you. She is a good girl with a clean and decent character."

The implication is that Mu Wanqing is not innocent? Not decent? He just put a bad accusation on her.

Mu Wanqing sneered and pushed Mu Jinyao towards her, "Take him away, take him away."

She did everything according to her conscience and did not expect the first wife to be grateful. She just didn't want Mu Jinyao's life to be ruined.

It’s not easy for girls to survive, so every effort to help is appreciated.

Old Mrs. Mu was angry and annoyed, and she pulled Mu Jinyao and kept asking about the situation.

Mu Jinyao's mind was in a mess, and she had no way of answering her. "Don't ask for now, go back to your room."

Old Madam Mu’s eyes flickered.

Madam Mu's expression was extremely complicated. She had never expected this to happen. Man proposes, God disposes.

How will this end?

"No, we can't just leave like this without knowing the reason. We must make things clear."

If she leaves like this, her daughter's reputation will be ruined. What's the point of having a fig leaf? Someone must be held accountable for this matter.

"Mom." Mu Jinyao's eyes were red and he shook his head frantically at her.

Madam Mu hardened her heart and winked at her daughter, "Yao'er, don't be afraid. What's going on? Tell us boldly, and we will all make the decision for you."

There is something else behind her words, which is very suggestive. Clear yourself of it quickly.

Mu Jinyao's emotions had reached the brink of collapse and his head was aching.

It's not that she doesn't understand what her mother means, but what can she do? Frame Mu Wanqing and harm her?

Or take the opportunity to get involved with the man in front of you?

"Mom, my head hurts. I feel like I'm sick. Please help me go back."

Madam Mu was angry and annoyed. She was usually smart and clever, so why did she fail at the critical moment?

She frowned and asked, "Excuse me, sir, why is my daughter in your room so late at night? What did you do to her?"

She was determined to trap the nobleman in front of her, even if the beginning was not smooth, as long as there was a chance, it would be fine.

Young people are shy but they are not sentimental. Mu Jinyao is a rare beauty. Which man can refuse her?

Du Shaoxuan's face darkened and he said coldly, "This is my room."

He only said one sentence, but people interpreted it into countless meanings.

Late at night, when a young and beautiful girl runs into a man's room, the meaning is self-evident.

Madam Mu didn't expect him to be so stubborn at such a young age. Her face changed. "That's not what I meant. My daughter has always been well behaved, careful with her words and actions, and very disciplined. When something like this happens, how can parents not ask for clarification?"

Master Mu got up from the bed a step late, rushed over with dishevelled clothes and dishevelled hair, "That's exactly what you said, young master, you have to give us an explanation."

"Explanation?" Du Shaoxuan looked over coldly and clapped his hands. Several black-clothed guards appeared from nowhere, holding long swords and pointing them at the Mu family.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense.

Master Mu looked at the sword fearfully, sweat pouring down his face, and said carefully, "Don't get me wrong, I just think my daughter's reputation is precious, and I want to ask for clarification. I have no intention of punishing you."

Du Shaoxuan looked at the unshaven man. Is this the former Minister of the Ministry of Revenue? He doesn't have the integrity of an official at all. "Really?"

Madam Mu was so anxious when she saw that his attitude was wrong. She could only take a chance. "Sir, my daughter has been living with you in the same room late at night. Her reputation has been ruined. Please take her in. Otherwise, she will die."

"I'm kneeling down in front of you." She fell to her knees in front of Du Shaoxuan.

For the sake of her daughter's future, she didn't care about her reputation anymore.

"Mom." Mu Jinyao's tears flowed down, she was moved and sad.

The atmosphere at the scene was very strange, and everyone looked at Du Shaoxuan eagerly.

"Otherwise, just accept it. Miss Mu is a famous beauty and a talented woman in the capital. It won't be considered an insult to you, young master."

"Yes, yes, you can never have too many women. It's so great to have such a beauty by your side."

Mu Wanqing frowned slightly. This was moral blackmail. She wondered if he would buy it or not.

Unexpectedly, Du Shaoxuan said, "Your daughter's reputation is more important, so why should I give up my innocence?"

There was an uproar at the scene.

"What?" Madam Mu suspected that there was something wrong with her ears. What the hell was he talking about?

Why does a grown man like him need to be innocent?

"My reputation is much more valuable, I will not allow it to be damaged. If you keep pestering me, then..." Du Shaoxuan had no patience, "Come here, take my name card and ask the local governor to come."

He showed no mercy.

The Mu family members' faces turned green. Madam Mu closed her eyes, feeling extremely sad. Her plan had completely failed.

Who could have thought that this was a cold-blooded man who didn't even want the beautiful woman who came to his doorstep.

Is there some hidden illness?

Master Mu was so anxious that he broke out in a cold sweat. It was already miserable enough. If the prefect got involved, his life would be in danger. "Sir, please don't. Please spare us this time because the Mu family is in such a difficult situation."

His eyes rolled, "Just consider it for Mu Wanqing's sake..."

He knew that Mu Wanwan had prepared food for the whole day for Du Shaoxuan.

Mu Wanqing was unhappy, "Wait a minute, did I lend you my face?"

Uncle Mu glared at her fiercely. What was the point of making a fuss at this critical moment? "We are a family."

Mu Wanqing's eyes fell on Old Lady Mu, "Come on, if there is trouble, it's a family, if there is no trouble, it's Mu Wanqing, the monster."

Old Mrs. Mu’s face froze. How did she know about the curse words that were said in private?

Madam Mu was at a loss, and the more she thought about it, the more scared she became. "Sir, please do me a favor and take my daughter in. Otherwise, I will..." She gritted her teeth and said deliberately, "Strangle her to death."

This was just one of her methods, but she didn't expect it to cause such a strong reaction from Mu Jinyao. Her eyes looked strange. He was right. She could only die!

"You don't have to do it yourself, I'll do it myself." Mu Jinyao, with a pale face, was overwhelmed with thoughts and slammed into the pillar, "Bang."

Her body fell limply, blood gushed out like a fountain, her eyes were closed, and she did not move.

This scene was so tragic that the whole world fell silent.

Madam Mu's mind went blank. She rushed to her daughter, crying loudly, and covered her daughter's bleeding forehead with her hands. The blood quickly dyed her hands red.

"Yao'er, Yao'er, don't scare your mother, wake up quickly, why are you so stupid?"

Mu Wanqing didn't expect this to happen. She squatted down and used her hand to smell the air. It was still hot.

She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Why are you crying? Hurry up and save him. Go find a doctor."

"Who has blood-stopping medicine?"

Du Shaoxuan winked and one of his men stepped forward, "Everyone, get out of the way. I will simply bandage it."

After first aid, the bleeding stopped, but the patient never woke up.

The doctor also came to see him, felt his pulse, and said he didn't look well. "Your injuries are too severe. Your life is in danger. If you wake up tomorrow, you may still be saved."

Madam Mu was frantic, her eyes bloodshot, and she clung to the doctor's arm tightly, like a drowning person clinging to a piece of driftwood. "Doctor, please save my daughter. She can't die! Give her some medicine, no matter how expensive it is."

The doctor sighed silently, pitying the heart of all parents. "I'll prescribe some medicine for her to drink."

Many people are destined to remain sleepless this night.

No matter how fierce the fight was, everyone put aside their prejudices when it came to human life, and everyone hoped that Mu Jinyao would survive.

Many people came to visit and said a few words of comfort.

The second house was no exception. The whole family took a look at the door and were then pushed away by other people.

After returning to the room, everyone felt very depressed. How could this happen?

When they went to bed at night, Madam Mu II hugged Mu Wanqing tightly and said, "No matter what, don't commit suicide, understand?"

Mu Wanqing knew she was afraid, so she hugged her back gently, "I won't. Only by living can there be hope. Mom, don't worry. I'm not her."

"Ah." Madam Mu sighed deeply, "That child has a miserable life."

No one slept well that night, and Mu Wanqing fell into a drowsy sleep only at dawn.

"Wake up, Mu Jinyao is awake."

Mu Wanqing woke up from her sleep, got up, quickly put on her clothes, and ran out without even having time to wash up.

The entrance to the main house was crowded with women from the clan, who formed a three-layered circle around it. When they saw Mu Wanqing coming, they subconsciously made way for her.

"Mu Jinyao, are you okay?" Mu Wanqing squeezed in and came to the bedside.

Mu Jinyao was lying on the bed with his eyes open. His face was frighteningly pale and his eyes were dazed and confused, as if he was troubled by something.

She glanced over, stunned, "You are... the third sister? How are you still alive?"

Mu Wanqing was stunned. This... seemed to be something wrong.
