Mu Jinyao closed his eyes and hardened his heart, "I choose the second brother."
Her second brother, who is related by blood, is her closest relative. The others are separated by a layer. Even her most beloved nephew is not as close to her as her biological brother.
The second young master Mu was overjoyed. He jumped up and down and cheered. He was happy that he could live a good life and would not have to suffer exile anymore.
Those who were not selected were dejected, extremely disappointed, and tears were streaming down their faces.
All aspects of life were revealed in front of everyone. Mu Wan smiled slightly, "Okay, it's decided. Sir, pay the money."
The Prince of Jin was silent for a moment, then waved his hand and asked his men to deliver the banknotes.
He finally realized that this was a madman who was not bound by worldly constraints.
Unless you can kill her with one sword to eliminate the trouble forever, otherwise, it is better not to go against her.
The problem is, with her appeal in the clan, if she is to be killed, most of the Mu family must be killed.
Is it worth it for a woman?
She had no scruples, but he did. He was a valuable porcelain, and Mu Wanqing was just a broken tile, not worth destroying together.
Master Mu burst into tears, "Mom, I can't leave you, please take me away, I beg you."
He also offended Mu Wanqing badly. Now he is a useless man and his wives and concubines all despise him.
Mrs. Mu only has two sons. She relies on her elder son the most and loves her younger son the most. She felt as if her heart was broken and she hugged Third Master Mu and cried bitterly, "Jinyao, please beg the noble man to give us a few more places. We can't let our flesh and blood be separated like this."
After this separation, we may never have the chance to meet again in this life.
Mu Jinyao felt bitter in her mouth. This was already the limit. Didn’t she see that the other party was already impatient? He had spent 150,000 taels of silver on her.
As expected, the eunuch was furious. "The most famous prostitute in Jiangnan was only redeemed for 100,000 taels of silver, but I've never heard of her redeeming her family as well. Don't push your luck, or you'll end up with nothing."
The sarcastic words made Mu Jinyao feel ashamed and were humiliated by comparing her to a prostitute, but she could do nothing about it.
Uncle Mu was extremely anxious. If he regretted it, all his efforts would be in vain. "Mom, if you don't want to leave, you can switch with my third brother."
Old Madam Mu immediately fell silent. She didn't want to stay and suffer any longer.
Mr. Mu Sanye's heart sank. After all, the old lady loved him the most, which made him even more desperate. What should he do?
The Mu family's daughter-in-law hugged her child and cried loudly, her heart filled with panic and fear.
What should these women and children do?
Several children had tears in their eyes and cried for their parents.
Mu Zifeng stroked her son's head, her eyes gloomy and terrifying, "My child, remember, it's not that Dad doesn't want you, but someone is forcing us..."
Mu Wanqing wanted to keep the children as bargaining chips and hold them hostage. Then let her think about it. Help raise the enemy's children. Haha, she said she was a smart person, but she was obviously a fool.
What he wanted to do was to plant the seeds of hatred in the child's heart and wait for the right time.
Mu Wanqing cleared her throat and said, "Ahem, how about you exchange with your child? Although you are a good-for-nothing and worthless, not even worth ten thousand, but considering your deep love for your son, I will suffer a loss and exchange with you. Come on, come on, let's exchange."
She waved her hand, and several tribesmen rushed forward to pull Mu Zifeng over.
Mu Zifeng was so scared that her soul flew away. "Let me go, I won't change, I won't change."
"Don't change? Are you going to abandon your wife and children? No, you can't be so heartless. Think about it carefully."
Mu Zifeng was angry and furious. It was clearly her fault.
"I... am the eldest son of the eldest son's family. I have to serve my parents and provide them with care and support until the end of their lives." This is a very sufficient reason.
Mu Wanqing insisted on tearing off his mask, "So you don't want your wife and children anymore? Right? If you deny it, then stay."
Mu Zifeng was desperate. Why did she have to meet such an unreasonable person?
"Yes, I don't want it anymore."
Everyone: ...
Baoer burst into tears, and the eldest daughter-in-law of the Mu family also cried like a child. This was the man chosen by her parents for her, and he was not reliable at all.
Mu Wanqing walked up to Baoer, squatted down, and looked at him gently, "Baoer, look, your father insisted on leaving with the old witch and didn't want you anymore, but it doesn't matter, the little fairy will protect you."
Mu Zifeng wanted to bite her to death, and it started again.
Baoer cried and was very sad, "Will you always protect us?"
Mu Wanqing touched his little head and said in a very gentle tone, "Yes, as long as you don't become bad kids, the little fairy likes cute and kind children."
Baoer's heart was greatly comforted, and he took the initiative to throw himself into her arms, "Little fairy, I'm so sad, I want to eat candy."
These children all like Mu Wanqing very much, which is something that the eldest wife cannot understand.
Mu Family: ...
Mu Wanqing silently took out a handful of candies and gave him two. "Eat them. You won't feel sad after you eat them."
The other children looked over with envy. Mu Wanqing waved at them. The children cheered and gathered around. Mu Wanqing distributed candies to all of them.
The charm of candy is huge, and the children who got the candy were overjoyed.
In such an environment, children are easily affected, and Baoer's mood was greatly healed.
He put his arm around Mu Wanqing's neck and said, "Aunt, why did my father follow that old witch?"
Mu Wanqing frowned, "Do bad things, hurt people, and be a bad guy."
Mu Zifeng's face was cracked. She was cruel enough to say bad things about him in front of the child.
Bao Er heard this and thought, do bad things? Be a bad guy? How can this be possible? Bad guys don't live long and will be destroyed by the fairy. "Then... can you not let them go?"
Mu Wanqing looked worried, "No, the old witch knows a big monster, and the big monsters are numerous and powerful. I can't beat them alone. Wait until Baoer grows up to help Auntie fight, okay?"
Prince of Jin: ...So, he is the big monster, damn!
Baoer nodded vigorously, "Okay, I'll help you fight."
Mu Zifeng watched his son being brainwashed by Mu Wanqing, his eyes red with anger. "Mu Wanqing, don't you think you are despicable and shameless?"
Mu Wanqing sneered coldly, "Then why don't you stay and raise the child yourself?"
When this was mentioned, Mu Zifeng immediately became a coward.
Mu Wanqing had long seen through the men of the Mu family's eldest branch. They were irresponsible. They would always be the first to rush forward when good things happened, but would always stay at the back when it came time to take responsibility.
"Haha, the so-called love for one's child is just like this. If one truly loves a child, not only would one risk one's life to protect the child, but even if one cannot, one would not say anything to sow discord between the child and the child."
After all, these children will live and grow up under her nose.
If you want to live a good life, you have to see whether she is happy or not.
"That's right. You can marry another wife and have more children. You can have as many as you want. It doesn't matter if you throw a few away."
Mu Zifeng couldn't help but get angry and said, "Mu Wanqing, you bitch..."
Mu Wanqing looked at him coldly, "I want one of his front teeth."
"Bang." A member of the Mu clan punched Mu Zifeng in the mouth, and Mu Zifeng spat out two bloody teeth.
"Sorry, I couldn't control my strength."
Mu Zifeng stared at the tribesman in front of him in disbelief. How could someone who used to bow down in front of him dare to attack him? How dare he?
The Prince of Jin couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he stood up and said, "Let's go."
At his command, his well-trained men surrounded him and escorted him out.
Mu Jinyao was stunned for a moment, then hurried to catch up. Before leaving, she clasped her hands together and bowed to Mu Wanqing.
Ask her to protect the people who stayed behind in the first house.
Mu Wanqing did not respond and her expression remained indifferent.
Mu Jinyao was helpless, but she believed in Mu Wanqing's character. With her personality, she would not deliberately make things difficult for the weak.
Young Master Mu couldn't help but get anxious, "We haven't packed our luggage yet..."
"Then don't do it." Madam Mu was a shrewd woman. If the old doesn't go, the new won't come. With a noble person as a backer, what is there to be afraid of? "Big brother, you carry your father on your back. Second brother, you go and help grandmother. Hurry up and follow."
Mu Wanqing's indifferent voice came from behind, "As the patriarch of the Mu family, I declare that the eldest son of the Mu family has betrayed the family and died suddenly outside. From now on, there will be no more eldest son of the Mu family."
The people from the Mu family's main house paused, their faces looked extremely ugly, but they still rushed out.
By the time they stumbled out, the Prince of Jin had already mounted his horses with his men, leaving only a carriage for them.
Young Master Mu looked around and said, "Only one car? How can so many of us fit in?"
No one paid any attention to them. The Prince of Jin squeezed his legs against the horse's belly and rushed out first.
Everyone in the first house was dumbfounded. The future did not seem as good as they had imagined.
Mu Jinyao, who was sitting behind the Prince of Jin, waved at them, "Hurry up and follow me."
It's really worrying. You are still complaining about this and that at this time. You are really holding us back.
Madam Mu quickly helped her husband and mother-in-law onto the carriage. "Let's squeeze in. Everything is difficult at the beginning, but the road will get smoother. I believe in Jinyao's ability."
"Zifeng, why did you come in? Go catch the car."
Mu Zifeng is a nobleman, how could he have done such a thing? In the past, his mother and wife had been at the forefront. "I won't."
Madam Mu really wanted to slap her two sons in the face because they knew nothing.
Never mind. I can’t take care of that right now. “I’ll do it.”
Old Mrs. Mu was squeezed so hard that she could hardly breathe, but she was happy in her heart. She knew that one day she would come back and crush all those who hurt her under her feet, making Mu Wanqing regret her actions.
In this way, the people from the eldest house drove their carriages to catch up with the main force and never looked back.
Therefore, they did not see their wives and children chasing after them.
The Mu family's daughter-in-law, illegitimate sons, daughters, and concubines all stared blankly at the receding carriage, their hearts filled with extreme fear.
Just abandon them like that?!
"Come in." A voice came from inside.
The people in the big house looked at each other and saw fear in each other's eyes.
Will they still have a good life now that their old, weak and sick children have fallen into Mu Wanqing's hands?
The lobby was filled with members of the Mu family. Mu Wanqing raised her hand and said, "Everyone line up. Now we will distribute the money. Anyone over thirteen years old can get a share."
The cheers were so loud that they were about to blow the roof off the room, and the atmosphere was so joyful.
The people in the big house stared at all this in a daze, feeling even more sad.
Mu Wanqing continued, "However, I have to deduct one hundred taels of carriage money first, and keep seven hundred taels with me. When we get to the border, I will give them to everyone to buy real estate, and the rest will be distributed to everyone for travel expenses."
She arranged every sum of money clearly. Every family had a different temperament, so in this difficult period they had to manage everything in a unified way.
She wants to ensure that every family can get through this difficult time safely.
Everyone calculated that this should give us more than 200? Not bad.
Someone couldn't help but ask, "Where's the child's silver?"
Mu Wanqing had already thought about it. "I will keep them for the time being. Children over seven and under thirteen will go to the Mu's school, and children under three and under seven will go to the Mu's kindergarten. Two taels of silver per month will cover their food and accommodation. The money will be deducted from this amount, and they will receive the rest when they turn thirteen."
The education of the next generation is the key among the keys. If she can train the children to be useful talents, then her life will be much easier.
She attaches great importance to education. Education is a long-term plan. For a family to develop, it does not rely on one person, but on the efforts of countless talents.
Some people feel uncomfortable and ask, "Why can't it be kept by parents or family members?"
Mu Wanqing glanced at him indifferently. This was a member of the clan who had remarried a wife. The pair of children born to his ex-wife formed a sharp contrast with the one born to his second wife. The former was a beggar, and the latter was a prince.
All I can say is that the tribesmen are of mixed quality.
What she can do is to provide every child with a relatively fair environment.
Of course, this will also isolate parents from the extent of their control over their children.
"Because I am more reliable than you, I can have another child. You can be partial, but I treat everyone equally. That's the decision. If you have any objections, you can refuse to take the money."
She was very forceful, "If you accept it, it will be regarded as your consent."
Not accepting the money? Isn't that a disease?
Forget it. If I can’t get the child’s money, I’ll get my own money first. At worst, I can wait until the child is thirteen years old.
No one raised any objections, and everyone received their share.
Mu's eldest daughter-in-law Xu said weakly, "Patriarch, can we get the money?"
Now they have nothing and no one to rely on. How are they going to live in the future?
