Mu Jinyao was so anxious, "My father and Third Uncle both have fever, their bodies are burning hot, and they are seriously ill. Please save them quickly."

No matter how Mu Zhongde treated others, he loved and cared for his daughter a hundred times more, and the relationship between father and daughter was extremely deep.

Master Mu was stunned. All the men from the first and third rooms of the Mu family were locked in the common bed and kept under strict guard. They were not allowed to eat and had to go hungry for several meals.

"Then go find Master Zeng."

Mu Jinyao's eyes were red. "I have looked for them, but Lord Zeng refused. Second uncle, now only you can save them. My father and third uncle are not kind to you, but you are brothers connected by blood. Please save them for grandfather's sake."

Lord Zeng was not only unwilling, he even hoped that they would die and eliminate all future troubles.

She didn't know whether it was Lord Zeng's own wish or Mu Wanqing's intention, but no matter what, she had to save people.

Master Mu was in a dilemma. "How can I help? I'm not a doctor."

Mu Jinyao pleaded with tears in her eyes, "As long as you plead with Lord Zeng to open the door and ask a doctor to come and treat you, he will definitely agree to it."

Even for Mu Wanqing's sake, Lord Zeng couldn't refuse Master Mu.

Master Mu's head ached, "Master Zeng won't listen to me."

Mu Jinyao was extremely disappointed. He was his brother, how could he be so heartless?

She held on to Mr. Mu's hand tightly, tears streaming down her face, "No matter what, go and try first, please."

Mr. Mu was not a heartless person. He softened his heart after hearing Mu Jinyao's crying. "Okay, I'll go check out the situation first."

He also couldn't listen to Mu Jinyao's one-sided words.

Before he reached the dormitory, he saw from afar a group of women standing guard at the door, all of them in tears.

There were bursts of shrill cries coming from inside the house, and the crying was loud inside and outside, it was so miserable.

When Madam Mu saw Second Master Mu rushing over, a hint of hatred flashed across her eyes, but it was gone in an instant. She said hurriedly, "Second brother, you've come just in time. Break the door open and save the people."

Before Mr. Mu could say anything, a group of women pushed him forward and together broke down the door.

The descendants of the Mu family inside rushed out in a swarm, running around in all directions and escaping.

After everyone who could run had run away, Madam Mu led a group of women into the house, "Master, Master."

Uncle Mu and his brother had fallen into a semi-comatose state, their faces were abnormally flushed, they couldn't open their eyes, and their clothes were soaked with sweat.

They were delicate and had their tendons in their hands and feet removed, which was a double blow to their bodies and minds. They couldn't bear it and fell ill.

Madam Mu was so anxious that she went crazy. Her master was her heaven and her support. "Second brother, why are you standing there? Go find a doctor."

Mr. Mu always felt something was wrong and subconsciously turned around and walked out.

He ran into Lord Zeng who came rushing over after hearing the news, "Second Master Mu, why are you here? What happened?"

Second Master Mu moved his lips, but before he could say anything, Madam Mu spoke first. "Master Zeng, my second brother smashed the door in his eagerness to save his brother. Please forgive me."

Master Mu was stunned, "No, it's not me..." He didn't even touch the door.

Madam Mu didn't give him a chance to speak. "Second brother, you must find a skilled doctor, preferably one who can break bones. The master has a fever and is unconscious. If he continues like this, he will die. Go quickly, the sooner you go, the sooner you will be back."

This is not a request, but an order.

Lord Zeng's eyes flickered and he sighed silently. The men in the Mu family were not very capable, and the women were very scheming.

Madam Mu usually keeps a low profile, but she is actually quite an important figure.

But no matter what, he couldn't let Master Mu be tricked by others.

"Master Mu, please follow me."

He pulled Master Mu out and called his men, "Come here, guard the door and don't let anyone in or out. Anyone who dares to disobey orders will be killed."

"Go and capture those escaped convicts. Anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy." His tone was murderous.

If you dare to run, you will have to bear all the consequences.

Madam Mu raised her head suddenly, shocked and frightened, "Master Zeng, you misunderstood. The children went out to find a doctor, not to run away. Master Mu can testify to this."

"Second brother, please say something."

No matter how stupid Mr. Mu was, he knew he was being plotted against, so he kept his mouth shut.

There was a cheer from outside, "Miss Mu San is back."

Mr. Mu immediately turned around and ran out. His daughter was back, so he was not afraid anymore! He had someone to back him up!

Madam Mu watched him running faster than a rabbit, "Second brother, second brother..."

Mr. Zeng was really impatient. He was restless all day long, and there was no one to fight with. "It's useless to call me second brother. Just wait for Miss Mu to deal with you and your whole family."

Mu Wanqing is the most protective person. If you dare to plot against her father, I will not be named Mu if I don’t make you cry.

Madam Mu knew the consequences of offending Mu Wanqing, but what could she do? "Master Zeng, what do you think of my daughter?"

Lord Zeng looked at Mu Jinyao in disbelief. Mu Jinyao stared blankly with eyes wide open, as if he didn't receive the message or was frightened.

Madam Mu closed her eyes and said with a pained look in her heart, "I will give my daughter to you as a concubine in exchange for your protection of my husband and son."

This was the only solution she could think of.

She clearly realized that she could not defeat Mu Wanqing and could not protect her family, so she had to seek external help.

"Mom." Mu Jinyao finally reacted and her eyes turned red with anger. This was the second time!

Some things cannot be undone once they have begun. Once there is a first time, there will be a second time.

Madam Mu didn't want this to happen either. "Jinyao, don't blame me. I really have no choice. Your father and your brothers can't survive anymore. Can you bear to see them die?"

The thought of her sons being dragged away in a carriage was heart-breaking.

They definitely won't last a day!

She didn't want to see the young die, nor did she want to collect their bodies.

Mu Jinyao looked at the unconscious Grandpa Mu, and thought of the harmonious scenes of the family in the past. She couldn't help but burst into tears and couldn't say the words of refusal.

Her heart was filled with despair, and a feeling of powerless frustration washed over her. Why was it so difficult to be reborn?

She tries so hard to be independent, is it really impossible?

One of his men came hurriedly, "Boss, the lady asked you to go over there for something."

Lord Zeng turned and left without hesitation, leaving Madam Mu and her daughter looking at each other.

This is... not interested? Not interested? No way?

Madam Mu felt guilty, but she explained earnestly, "Jinyao, don't blame me. If it wasn't a matter of life and death, how could I bear to do that? If anything happened to your father and brother, our family would really be finished. Do you know how difficult it is for an orphan and a widow? Over the years, our family has offended many clansmen, and they will take advantage of our misfortune."

She talked about how she had no choice but to do it, no matter how miserable it was.

A trace of hatred flashed in her eyes, "Mu Wanqing is to blame for all this. She is the one who harmed our entire family. It's her!"

If there has to be one person who bears all the resentment, it is Mu Wanqing!

Mu Jinyao stood there in a daze, his eyes flickering.

Everyone waiting outside the inn screamed excitedly when they saw Mu Wanqing really coming back with more than sixty carriages.

Cheers echoed throughout the venue.

Mu Wanqing jumped off the carriage neatly. "Everyone line up to receive the carriage. The things in the carriage are my gifts to the tribesmen. I hope everyone can spend a warm winter safely."

Everyone was so happy. How could there be such a good thing?

The Mu Zicheng brothers were responsible for distributing things, and whoever received something had to sign.

No one dared to scramble for the things and lined up obediently. After receiving the things, they couldn't wait to lift the curtain and were immediately surprised.

"It's such a good thing. This small stove can be used to cook hot food at any time. The mat and the quilt are very thick. Wow, there is also a hand warmer. Is there one for each person?"

"Definitely. Miss Third is so considerate. This is the kind of clan leader we want."

"Yes, the Third Miss is a good tribe leader who cares about the tribe members. The previous tribe leaders were not as good as her."

"Not only is he inferior, he is not even as good as the third young lady's hair."

At this moment, not only were those who supported Mu Wanqing convinced, even those old antiques were shaken.

A patriarch who can make them live a good life is a good patriarch.

Do gender and age really matter?

Mu Zhongde was a male and a third-rank official, but he dragged his entire family into hell.

Seeing everyone's happy faces, Mu Wanqing was also very happy. She turned around and saw Master Mu looking at her from afar, "Father..."

Master Mu turned around and ran away.

Ran away? Mu Wanqing was stunned and frowned slightly, "Go and ask Mr. Zeng to come over."

Mr. Zeng came over quickly, and Mu Wanqing asked directly, "What happened?"

Mr. Zeng briefly recounted the incident and took the initiative to say that it was he who had failed to fulfill his supervisory and management role.

"My dad was used?" Mu Wanqing thought to herself. No wonder he didn't dare to come over. "It's okay. He'll learn his lesson after a few more losses. With us watching over him, nothing serious will happen."

She didn't expect Mr. Mu to become much more powerful. His character had already been formed and could not be changed.

It would be better to train the two older brothers well and let them take on the important responsibilities.

Seeing that she didn't care at all, Lord Zeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "How do we deal with the Mu family?"

Mu Wanqing narrowed her eyes slightly, "Everything must be done according to the court laws."

"Okay." What Lord Zeng wanted was her attitude.

Neither of them mentioned the illness of Uncle Mu's brother, and they tacitly avoided the topic.

The journey had been delayed before, and now that everyone had been assigned a carriage, we had to hurry on our journey.

Lord Zeng simply arranged the schedule and prepared himself for the 300-mile journey every day.

Mu Wanqing held a brief meeting and announced several decisions. "Mr. Zeng will be the leader of the action team, responsible for arranging daily schedules and supervising security work."

"Mrs. Mu, Mu Zhongrui, and Patriarch Fang have formed a three-person organization department to manage specific affairs."

"Master Mu, Mu Zicheng, you will serve as the chief and deputy chief of the logistics department, responsible for the logistics work of this team."

"Mu Ziang, Master Fang, you two will be my assistants."

She created the simplest structure for the company to make it easier for her to manage.

"If you don't understand something, just ask."

Patriarch Fang was the first to raise his hand. “Can you elaborate on the scope of our responsibilities?”

"For example, if we make soap, the Organization Department will be fully responsible for it. If there is any problem, I will come directly to you."

Patriarch Fang subconsciously looked at Lord Zeng. This had previously been under the jurisdiction of Lord Zeng. This was tantamount to taking away his power. How could he be happy?

What he didn't know was that Lord Zeng was very happy about it, because this would free up his hands to do business with Miss Mu San.

He just likes to make money!

Mu Wanqing had communicated with him before and continued, "If the tribesmen encounter any problems, go to the Organization Department first. If they cannot be solved, report to me. The three of you must write a report every day, stating what happened that day, and hand it in to me in the evening."

She is giving up her power now. You can't let her take care of daily chores, otherwise she will not be able to do other things.

Among the three people she chose, Madam Mu Er was her biological mother, so she naturally stood on her side. Moreover, she was a woman, and she performed the duties of the clan leader's wife.

However, Mu Zhongrui and the head of the Fang family belong to different families, so it is impossible for them to get along and check and balance each other.

The two looked at each other and had to accept the decision to write the report. The three parties verified with each other and it was impossible to hide the truth.

Mu Wanqing seemed to have let go, but in fact she still had everything under control.

"As for the logistics department, food, clothing, housing and transportation are all included. It requires carefulness and patience." This is a miscellaneous job that does not require decision-making, but it is very training and also makes it convenient for them to run in and out to contact the team behind and provide cover.

Mu Wanqing raised her eyebrows, "Master Fang, being my assistant won't be a disgrace to you, right?"

Young Master Mu stood up and bowed to her respectfully, "Of course not, it's an honor."

Several officers came back and threw the bloodstained descendants of the Mu family to the ground. "Master Zeng, the people have been captured."

Lord Zeng didn't even blink, "Fifty lashes, hang on a tree, life or death is up to fate."

The people from the Mu family's main house rushed out, "Sir, please, spare them. They really went to see a doctor. Please understand."

"Sir, please spare our lives." Everyone knelt on the ground and begged bitterly.

Mu Jinyao felt helpless, desperate, and even a little angry.

Lord Zeng sneered, "You think I'm a fool? The person who just tried to fool me is put in shackles. I want you to know what the consequences of breaking the law are."

"grown ups."

At this moment, a group of people came in, escorting a man in brocade clothes who looked very noble.

Seeing this scene, they just glanced at it calmly and said, "Boss, we will stay in the hotel."

Lord Zeng cupped his hands and said politely, "I'm sorry, the inn has been booked by us. Please go look for another one."

"master."

A clear voice sounded, "Ask them to vacate a few upper rooms."

Hearing the familiar voice, Mu Jinyao looked up suddenly, eyes widening in disbelief. It was him! It was actually him!!!

The man in brocade clothes was very sensitive. He glanced over and their eyes met...
