Du Shaoxuan and his group did not stop because of this and left early in the morning as planned.
Mu Wanqing just sighed softly and put this person out of her mind.
Destined to be a passerby.
Everyone stayed in the town for a few days, made some money, and exchanged six carriages with others. It was a very fruitful experience.
The third branch of the Mu family got a carriage as they wished. Mu Rongxue happily picked up the brush and was about to sign her name on the contract.
Madam Mu San was a little worried and held her hand, "Rongxue, this should be signed by your father."
The head of the family is here, so it is not the turn of the girls in the family to sign.
Third Master Mu snorted coldly, "According to my opinion, we shouldn't have asked for a carriage. What about the one hundred taels of silver? When can we pay it back?"
He has never earned a penny by himself, and relies entirely on his parents and brothers, but still lives a comfortable life.
A trace of anger flashed in Mu Rongxue's eyes. Yes, he didn't care, because he and his young son were squeezed in the donkey cart, protected from the wind and rain.
The donkey cart is Old Lady Mu’s special seat. She loves her youngest son, so let’s squeeze in together.
The grandsons are still young and don’t take up much space. As for the granddaughters, they can just wish for themselves and I am completely blind to their suffering.
"Mom, I will find a way to pay you back."
Since her father was unreliable, she had to stand up on her own and protect her mother and sister.
Now that she has finally got a chance, she will not give up.
Mrs. Mu San felt bitter. Her husband was incapable of taking responsibility and instead let his daughter shoulder the heavy responsibility.
She was useless. She didn't give birth to a son, so she had no confidence when she spoke and she brought trouble to her two daughters.
Mr. Mu Sanye was a confused man who only cared about his own comfort. "Whoever signed the document will be responsible for it."
"Okay." Mu Rongxue signed her name without hesitation and got the carriage as she wished.
Although it is only 60% new, it has horses and carriages, and can shelter from wind and rain.
Her eyes were red with excitement, and she called to her mother and sister, "Hurry up and get in the car. We have a carriage, and I have learned how to drive it."
If you prepare a little more supplies, you can get through the winter safely.
The seven-year-old Mu Rongshuang cheered and climbed onto the carriage impatiently, touching this and that, extremely happy.
Mrs. Mu was also very happy, as the three of them, mother and daughter, finally had a home.
Unexpectedly, Third Master Mu said, "By the way, let your Aunt Mei and Aunt Hong get in the car as well."
These two concubines were his favorites, and Concubine Hong was the one who gave birth to his son, so naturally he was a little partial to them.
Mrs. Mu's expression froze, and she couldn't help but look over. The two concubines occupied Mr. Mu's arms on the left and right, smiling sweetly beside him.
Okay, you're blowing the pillow wind again.
Mu Rongxue's face almost collapsed. She had worked so hard to get the carriage, and she still owed a lot of debts. How could she let others ride in it?
The carriage can accommodate four or five people, but why?
She couldn't stand it with her hot temper, but she had some experience these days and had seen Mu Wanqing handle things calmly and learned a lot.
She frowned in embarrassment. "There's no room left. I need to buy some things, such as rice, flour, oil, bedding, and a stove. Then when Dad wants to drink hot tea or have a bowl of hot porridge, it will be convenient without asking for help."
She didn't say she was unwilling, but just attacked Mr. Mu's weak spot.
He knew it was right. Mr. Mu loved himself the most, and he regretted it without hesitation, "You are still filial, so I will listen to you."
Aunt Mei couldn't help but get anxious. She didn't want to walk anymore. Her feet were covered with blisters and it hurt every step she took.
"Master, what should we do? If we continue like this, we really can't stand it. The carriage is so big that we can always squeeze in. Is it possible that the fourth young lady is not happy?"
"Master, I am so tired every day that I don't have the energy to take care of the child. If I neglect him, I will feel bad for him. I only have this one son."
Aunt Hong is not as pretty and delicate as Aunt Mei, nor does she have the charm of the other concubines, but she is able to give birth.
The third wife has only one precious child, so naturally she is honored by her son and dares to compete with the main wife.
Mr. Mu Sanye was easily influenced and gradually wavered. Seeing this, Mu Rongxue chuckled.
"What's so difficult about this? You can discuss it and get together to borrow money to buy a carriage. No one has stipulated that my aunt can't buy one."
She didn't want to conflict with her father. After all, Third Master Mu loved her quite a bit.
But, who are these concubines? If they want to sit back and reap the fruits of others’ labor, they can just dream on.
The concubine uses her beauty to serve the man and only wants to rely on the man to live a glorious life. Aunt Hong doesn't want to work hard at all and laments with a sad face.
"The number of places is limited, and we don't know when it will be available. Master, think about our Jun'er. He hasn't been well taken care of, and his face has become thinner."
As long as you have the love of a man and a son to rely on, why worry about not having a good life? Why work so hard?
Third Master Mu felt a little soft-hearted, "Rongxue, why don't you let Aunt Hong sit on it too? She's thin..."
Mu Rongxue was a little annoyed with this confused father, and suddenly her eyes lit up, "Third sister, my aunt and the others also want to borrow money to buy a carriage, is that ok?"
Mu Wanqing passed by them carrying a package on her back. When she heard the sound, she stopped.
"Yes, go register in advance and your turn will come if there is a spot available."
Unless you have made significant contributions, you will receive special treatment.
Aunt Hong frowned slightly, "Miss San, we can't earn that much money at all. You don't know how hard it is for women..."
Mu Wanqing looked puzzled. "I am also a woman. I can do it. Mu Rongxue can do it. Why can't you? Could it be that you... are hermaphrodites?"
Aunts: ...You are scolding us, and we have evidence!
Mu Wanqing said that there could be no idle people within her sight and they had to get to work one by one.
"Even if you are missing a limb, you still have to work to support yourself. No one is exempt. Uncle San, if you are going to be lazy again next time, how about starving yourself for three days?"
Mr. Mu's face turned green and he was very angry, but he didn't dare to say anything.
All food and supplies are under her control, and if you want to buy anything, you have to get her approval.
Damn, how can she be so capable?
Mu Wanqing doesn't mind helping Mu Rongxue. She is really trying hard to live and protect her family, which is very valuable.
"By the way, whoever signs the contract will be the owner of the carriage and have absolute control. Don't let me hear you guys quarreling. Otherwise, don't blame me if you don't have a meal."
After saying this, she turned and left. The people from the third branch of the Mu family stared in dismay, and only Mu Rongxue and her daughter breathed a sigh of relief.
Mu Wanqing looked around. Hey, where are her parents? Where did they go?
"Ah." Someone bumped into her and Mu Wanqing lost her balance and fell down. Fortunately, she used her hands to support herself.
She looked up and saw that it was Mu Jinyao who was in a daze. "Are you okay?"
Mu Jinyao has been in a daze since he woke up, as if he had lost his soul, with a dull look in his eyes.
Hearing the voice, she looked up blankly, "It's you, Mu Wanqing."
Her tone was odd, like she was unfamiliar and confused.
Mu Wanqing narrowed her eyes slightly, "Yes, I am Mu Wanqing, and you, who are you?"
The other party said without hesitation, "I am Mu Jinyao."
It seems that he is not a time traveler. Mu Wanqing's eyes rolled around. She had already sensed that something was wrong and tested him without showing any expression.
"Why did you say that the other day? What do you mean you're still alive?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Mrs. Mu angrily pulled her daughter away.
Who is this person? How can someone talk like this?
Mu Jinyao stared blankly at the lively girl in front of her. The third sister in her memory was introverted, dull and quiet, like a pale shadow with no sense of existence.
More importantly, the third sister died on the day the house was searched.
Other members of the second branch of the family met with accidents on the way to exile, and none of them had a good ending.
"How did you survive the day when your house was searched? You bled a lot."
Mu Wanqing immediately understood the tentative meaning in her words. Well, let's test each other and see who is more capable.
"I am lucky. After a near-death experience, I finally understood that life is short and there is no need to worry too much. Just say what you want to say and do what you want to do. Live your life to your heart's content and live out your own splendor."
Her idea shocked Mu Jinyao deeply, "Even if I don't live long?"
Mu Wanqing was confident and flamboyant, with a faint light in her eyes. "Even if it's only for a moment, I want to live a glorious life and let everyone remember my name."
She paused, "In this way, even if I die, I will have no regrets. I have loved, hated, and lived, and my life in this world is not in vain."
Her words were half true and half false, but extremely encouraging. Mu Jinyao really believed it, and her expression became more complicated. "You have changed."
Mu Wanqing raised her eyebrows. If she guessed correctly, Mu Jinyao was reborn!
The clichés she used betrayed her, and the vicissitudes of life that she inadvertently revealed were all flaws.
It’s not that her level is too low, but she was very unlucky and the person she met was Mu Wanqing.
Mu Wanqing is the evildoer who comes against the will of heaven.
She calmly shot back, "Who can remain unchanged after experiencing life and death? Your father used to be a decent person, but now he is just eating and waiting to die."
"Your mother used to be able to pretend to be a dignified lady, but now she has lost all her shamelessness and kneels down when I tell her to..."
The best defense is offense.
Mu Jinyao closed her eyes in pain, unable to bear the thought of what happened that night, "Don't say anymore."
Mu Wanqing sighed softly, with a look of regret on her face, "You have changed too. You used to be so proud, like a wintersweet in the winter, defying the frost and snow, exuding a unique scent. We can only look up to you. Now, you should look in the mirror..."
Every word hurt Mu Jinyao, and her heart ached. "Don't say anymore."
Mu Wanqing had already gotten the answer she wanted, so she didn't argue any more. "Okay, whatever you want."
As for Mu Jinyao's past life experience, what happened? She didn't want to ask more.
What does it matter if she knows? From the moment she came through, everything was different.
She flapped her butterfly wings lightly and her entire appearance changed.
Mu Jinyao looked at her from behind, and suddenly something occurred to him, "Wait a minute, why did you risk your life to save me that day? Obviously, you didn't like me."
Just when she was most confused and lost, she returned to the age of sixteen and was reborn on the road of exile.
This was all so unbelievable that she felt like she was dreaming and it didn't feel real at all.
A lot of things have changed, some people are still alive.
And she was not snatched away by the Fifth Prince. Was it a dream or an illusion?
Mu Wanqing was a little surprised. Why was she asking this? What was the reason for her being so upset?
Her mind raced, "First of all, I was also involved. When I saved others, I was also saving myself, so I don't expect anyone to be grateful."
Her tone was sincere. "Secondly, I am a woman, and you are also a woman. It is not easy for women to survive in this world. Why can't we help each other and lend a helping hand?"
Somehow, Mu Jinyao's nose felt sore, and the suppressed emotions seemed to have found an outlet.
"Where do you get the courage?"
If there had been someone like this who stepped forward in her previous life, she wouldn't have been abducted and fallen into the hands of the Fifth Prince...
Mu Wanqing smiled slightly, and her smile was filled with a different kind of solemnity. "Whoever doesn't let me live, I'll send him away first. People can always burst out with infinite courage in desperate situations."
Looking at the glittering girl, Mu Jinyao's heart was boiling with heat. "Third sister, thank you for what you said today, and thank you for your bravery and fearlessness that day. I will never forget it."
No matter what happens in the future, she will never hurt the girl in front of her.
Because she is light, making people around her feel bright and warm, and illuminating the world of countless people.
The seriousness in her words startled Mu Wanqing. Just as she was about to say something, there was a commotion not far away. What happened?
Mu Wanqing turned her head and saw that her parents were in the center of the riot...
The author has something to say:
I will try to update another chapter during the day tomorrow. Good night.
