"I think Liu Fang is okay. She is diligent and conscientious, and is a self-reliant person who can endure hardships. The only problem is that she is not a member of the Mu family."
Shuimu Farm is Mu Wanqing’s private property. There are many secrets inside and outsiders cannot enter.
Mu Wanqing quickly searched for this name in her mind. She was a member of the Qingping Army, a widow in her thirties with a daughter. She was kicked out of her husband's family after her husband's death, and could not go back to her parents' home. She was taken in by Ji Cheng when she was desperate, and seeing that she was strong, he joined the Qingping Army.
This woman works very hard.
"Liu Fang, the captain of the third team of the Qingping Army?" Mu Wanqing remembered to leave her at Shuimu Farm to protect her parents.
"It's her. Her daughter is her biggest weakness." Mu Ji had a good impression of her. "Of course, everything is up to you."
Mu Wanqing nodded slightly and called the guards to investigate.
"Is your mother going back too?"
Mu Ji only has a widowed mother and he married Yu Wanrou, the adopted daughter of the Mu family, so he can be considered the son-in-law of the Mu family.
"The whole family is going back. My mother misses the capital city all the time. She is even more nostalgic as she gets older. No matter how good Liangcheng is, it is not her hometown after all."
Mu Wanqing understood this very well. "Then let's modify the carriage and add some shock absorbers to reduce the bumps."
It would be great if we had rubber. Are there any rubber plantations in Nanyang now?
Mu Ji looked at her eagerly, "Do you have one? If you do, please give me one."
There was too little raw material for the shock absorber strips, so Mu Wanqing only prepared some for herself. "Okay, I'll give you two."
"Thank you, Chief."
Mu Wanqing thought of something, "Sister Wanrou needs to spend more time on the two children, Dongdong and Tiantian."
It was impossible for her to take care of the child herself, so after choosing for a long time, she decided to give the child to Mu Ji and his wife to take care of for a while.
The main thing is that his family is simple, Mu Ji's mother is a sensible old lady, and Yu Wanrou is good at taking care of children.
Mu Ji patted his chest and assured, "Don't worry, they are both good children. Tiantian is about the same age as my two children. They have already played together and have become much more cheerful."
"That's good."
When Mu Ji left, Mu Wanqing happened to have to go out for something. As soon as they walked out of the door, they heard a sweet voice, "Brother Ji."
It was a young woman, wearing plain clothes, with a pretty face, holding a baby in her arms.
Mu Ji was a little surprised, "Why are you here?"
The woman pursed her lips, hesitating to speak, "Brother Ji, I've been looking for you for a long time, and finally found you."
Mu Wanqing pricked up her ears quietly. There was some gossip. One was Brother Ji and the other was Sister Luo. The addresses were so strange.
Mu Ji frowned slightly, "Sister Luo, is there anything wrong?"
Sister Luo said weakly, "I... I just want to ask, why hasn't this month's salary been delivered yet? It doesn't matter if I go hungry for a few meals, but the child is crying because he has nothing to eat."
She was so delicate and weak that she would fall down at the slightest breeze. I felt sorry for her.
"Is this true? I'll check it out when I get back." Mu Ji took out a tael of silver from his pocket and handed it over, "Go buy some fine grains for the child first."
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Luo took advantage of the situation and held his hand tightly, and put the child into his arms.
"Hold the child. He misses you so much."
It's so intimate and natural, the only thing missing is calling the child daddy.
Mu Ji was confused, "Sister Luo, you..."
Sister Luo's eyes were slightly red, "This is your child too, you should love him."
Wow, so exciting. Mu Wanqing took a few steps back to give them space to perform.
Mu Jiru was struck by a bolt from the blue, and he doubted his life. "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Although this child came unexpectedly, he is your own flesh and blood after all. He is still young and needs the love of his biological father." Sister Luo looked like I didn't want to, but I really had no choice. "Brother Ji, I don't ask for a name, I just ask you to come home often to see the child."
The melon is so sweet that people passing by can't help but stop and watch.
Mu Ji's face turned pale, "Sister Luo, is there something wrong with your brain? This is Brother Luo's child."
"It's yours, I got it that night, I..." Sister Luo bit her lip, soft and weak, "I knew I was sorry to you, sister-in-law, and I didn't want to break up your family, so I married Brother Luo with the child."
Mu Ji's mind went blank, and he held the child as if he was holding a bomb.
Everyone looked at him with disdain, calling him an irresponsible man.
"Be a man and take responsibility. Don't let us look down on you."
"The child is innocent. You have to treat him well."
"This woman is quite pitiful. It's fate that makes a loving woman betray a heartless man. All good women are let down."
Mu Ji's reputation was ruined all of a sudden. He felt wronged and angry. He was really a man who kept himself clean. Wasn't work good? Wasn't making money good? To him, these two things were much more attractive than women.
He was so devastated by this incident.
Mu Wanqing looked at him for a long time, and finally couldn't help but speak, "Excuse me, where is your brother Ji?"
"He passed away, leaving us an orphan and a widow." Sister Luo's eyes were filled with tears that were about to fall, and she looked so pitiful that any man would feel pity for her.
Mu Wanqing asked curiously, "This child looks so young, only a few months old, how long has your husband been dead?"
"Half a year."
Mu Wanqing smiled slightly, "It's only been half a year, and his widow ran out to find a new father for the child on the street. What a loving and affectionate woman. It's really eye-opening."
Sister Luo’s expression froze.
Everyone was stunned. It would have been fine if it hadn't been mentioned, but once it was mentioned, everything felt wrong.
Sister Luo seemed to be greatly hurt. "I know that Princess Qingping is the patriarch of the Mu family. Please have mercy on this innocent little life. His last name is Mu as well."
Mu Wanqing didn't believe a word of it. "Is there any evidence?"
"Yes." Sister Luo took out a jade pendant from her bosom, "This is something that Brother Ji carried with him, left behind that night."
Mu Ji looked at the familiar jade pendant, angry and anxious, "Patriarch, don't believe her lies, she is a scammer, I have nothing to do with her, Luo Ge and I are good friends, we had an accident when we were out doing business, before Luo Ge died he asked me to take care of his wife and children, I agreed, I gave him two taels of silver every month, Wan Rou also knows about this."
Sister Luo asked with red eyes, "Is this your jade pendant?"
"It was lost before. I didn't expect it to be in your hands. You are quite capable." Mu Ji thought he was kind to her, but he didn't expect to be bitten back. "Sister Luo, are you doing this to Brother Luo?"
Sister Luo was about to cry, "I... I really feel sorry for him. Brother Ji, don't be afraid. I'm not here to ask for a status. Right now, I can't live like this anymore. I want to remarry, but I can't take this child with me. Brother Mu, you can take the child back."
She had some quick wits, and that was a good reason.
"This is indeed your biological son. If you don't believe me, you can use a blood test. Is there any kindhearted person who can bring me a bowl of clean water?"
The "kind-hearted person" brought a bowl of water, and Mrs. Luo took the needle and pricked the child's finger without hesitation, and blood flowed into the bowl.
"Brother Ji, it's your turn."
Mu Wanqing looked at her deeply. Don’t you feel bad about pricking a child with a needle?
Mu Ji was extremely angry, but after looking at Mu Wanqing, he held back his anger and cut his hand.
The two drops of blood merged.
"Look, they are fused together. They are really father and son."
"Let me try." Mu Wanqing was eager to try, and she also pricked her finger. Her blood merged with the previous one.
She exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, I am also the biological father of the child."
Everyone: ...
Mrs. Luo: ...How can people respond if you don't play by the rules like this?
Mu Wanqing glanced at everyone calmly and said, "Tell them about the various possibilities of blood test for kinship."
Mu Ji studied biochemistry, and he gave a brief introduction to several blood types.
Everyone was stunned. "So, blood test doesn't count?"
Mu Ji got full marks in biology. "Yes, as long as the blood types are the same, they can fuse."
Mu Wanqing suddenly looked at Sister Luo and shouted, "Tell me, who sent you here?"
Sister Luo's face changed, "Princess Qingping, how can you protect your people? This is really Brother Mu and my child."
Mu Wanqing gave the order, "Go check who this woman has been in contact with in the past few days? Bring everyone she has been in contact with here."
She was very simple and straightforward, and started investigating directly from the root cause.
"yes."
This move caught Luo Saozi off guard. She was anxious, "Princess Qingping, you are so high up, you can frame anyone with just a word. How can a weak woman like me be your opponent? Please give me a way to live."
Mu Wanqing said coldly, "Don't worry, the truth will eventually come out."
After a while, several men and women were brought over.
Mu Ji saw a familiar figure, Sun, the daughter-in-law of the seventh room. Sun's face was very pale.
An incredible thought flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but ask, "Aunt, I remember your son was ranked eleventh in the arithmetic competition."
Sun's eyes wandered around, not daring to look him in the face. "Yes, I did well in the exam."
Mu Ji pursed his lips and said, "If he kills the person in front, he will be able to succeed as a substitute."
Sun's defense was broken at once, and she was horrified, "What nonsense are you talking about? I didn't do anything."
This is an admission of guilt without being asked. His psychological quality is not very good.
Mu Wanqing stroked her forehead and sighed, what a mess.
"Fair competition is allowed in the clan, but I will never tolerate any unscrupulous frame-up."
She called the heads of several families and handed Sun over to the government in front of them, letting the government deal with her. It was up to the government to decide whether to kill her or exile her.
No matter how much Qifang begged, she couldn't change her decision.
She checked and found that it was Sun's personal behavior. She bribed Mrs. Luo with five hundred taels of silver and framed her. No one else was aware of it.
Mu Wanqing particularly hates such behavior. "As long as they break the law, I will kick them out of the clan. I am not just saying this to scare you. I will kick them out of the clan."
She crossed out Sun's name, and the seventh room looked as pale as death. How could it become like this?
Mu Wanqing had not yet finished the punishment. "Also, all of Sun's children are not allowed to take the imperial examinations or participate in various competitions. This is the retribution for doing bad things."
After becoming a female prisoner, it is naturally impossible for her to pass the imperial examination and become an official.
"I am very disappointed with what happened this time. The Mu family, who used to share weal and woe and were particularly united, have become alienated now that they have money." Mu Wanqing looked at them coldly, "If it happens again, I will consider breaking up the clan and making you all become people without a clan."
She sneered, "Anyway, they're all killing each other, so why are we here?"
Everyone was horrified. “Chief, we will keep an eye on it and make sure this doesn’t happen again.”
"We'll have to wait and see."
Mu Wanqing quickly restructured the personnel and fenced off a piece of land in Shuimu Villa to build a food factory. As time was tight, she gave all the recipes to her father and asked him to work on it together with Guo Er.
As for the tribesmen who made mistakes, they should be punished, scolded, and expelled from the tribe.
After giving his tribesmen a severe beating, he was about to set off back to Beijing.
Mr. Mu and his wife were reluctant to let her go, and Du Shaoxuan was even more reluctant, so he held Mu Wanqing's hand tightly.
He couldn't go back with her this time because there was some unrest at the border and he had to keep an eye on it.
But no matter how reluctant you are, there will always be a time to part.
In the morning light, a group of people set out in a mighty procession, going further and further away.
Mu Wanqing looked back at the people on the city wall who were getting smaller and smaller, and couldn't help but sigh softly.
It’s so hard to meet you.
"Why."
Mu Wanqing was stunned for a moment, then turned around and looked at the little kid, "Why are you sighing?"
Tiantian blinked her innocent eyes and said, "I don't know. I learned it from my aunt."
Mu Wanqing: ...Okay, learn from others.
Dongdong was laughing secretly, and a warm smile appeared on his face, which had always been full of hatred and resentment.
It was so happy to be with the clan leader aunt, which made him feel like he had returned to his carefree childhood.
Mu Wanqing saw it and patted his head, "That's how you should smile. People who smile more have better luck."
Her hands were so warm that Dongdong couldn't help but smile foolishly.
A furry head came over, asking for caressing and a loving hug, and said softly and cutely, "Auntie, I want one too."
The delicate and soft little girl was so cute. Mu Wanqing gently touched her head, which brought a bright smile to the little girl.
The road is long, so playing with the children is just a way to pass the time.
"Princess, this is a new product that has just been released. Please try it."
It is the food factory’s new product, the Twelve Pieces of Beijing, packaged in a gift box.
The gift box was very high-end, and the snacks were in various shapes. Mu Wanqing tasted each one and wrote down her opinions.
During the meal, Mu Wanqing called the children of the tribe and pointed at the gift box, "Come and try it. After you finish eating, tell me which one is the most delicious."
This made the children very happy. Their faces turned red with excitement. They could do this food tasting task for a hundred years.
How come the patriarch has so many interesting activities?
The one that received the most votes was Shachima, followed by Taosu.
She also asked adults to try the two, and the result was that they swapped the two.
These two are well-deserved popular kings.
The scene was bustling with activity. At this moment, a guard handed over a sealed letter, "Master, an urgent letter from the Emperor."
Urgent letter? Mu Wanqing opened the letter and her face changed slightly.
Damn, this is terrible.
