Chapter 29: Emptying Her Private Vault



The General's Mansion was peaceful for a few days.

There will be no peace.

Several ferocious-looking men surrounded the gate of the general's mansion.

However, due to General Mu's authority, he did not dare to force his way in.

Soon, the people in the general's mansion came out after hearing the noise.

"What on earth is going on?"

The general's wife went out holding Yan'er.

[Fourth brother is really like this, he didn't forget to gamble even when he came to the border, and now he's even smoking marijuana! ]

Mu Yan said this with great anger.

The general's wife lowered her eyes and saw Mu Yan's fierce look on his face.

She felt a sudden shudder in her heart when she heard this.

gamble?

Smoking marijuana?

When did the fourth brother learn bad things?

"Mom, save me..."

As soon as Mu Laosi saw his mother coming out holding his sister, he tried to break free from the strong men who were holding him.

When he arrived at the border, he was itching to do something.

He climbed over the wall and sneaked out every day, and happened to see an underground gambling house. At first, he kept his sister's wishes in mind.

But the more he watched, the more he felt itchy, so he told himself that a little gambling was just for fun.

When he won big money with small money, he became inflated.

He is also known as the Gambling Saint.

During the days when he was being sought after, he did not return to the general's mansion, but stayed in the gambling house.

Who would have thought that he would lose every time he gambled afterwards.

He lost all his winnings and even incurred a huge gambling debt.

"Mom, give me something to eat. I feel so uncomfortable all over...suck...suck..." Mu Lao Si moved his body back and forth, and no one else knew what was going on.

But Mu Yan understood it at a glance.

[Mom, my fourth brother is addicted to marijuana! This matter can be serious or minor. We must lock him up to detoxify him. Fortunately, he was not exposed to it for a long time, so he can still be saved.]

The general's wife frowned and felt dizzy.

If it weren’t for Mu Yan, she wouldn’t have known what her son had done outside!

"Fourth Brother, you..." The general's wife was shaking with anger!

"Fourth Young Master, how could you get involved in gambling?" Yu'er supported the general's wife and looked at the ruddy-cheeked Fourth Young Master who had just arrived at the border. He looked like a completely different person!

At this time, the Fourth Young Master was skinny, pale, and had sunken eyes.

It looks creepy!

"How much do you owe?" The general's wife felt her voice trembling.

Yan'er's thoughts came true once again.

And Mu Lao Si didn't dare to go to see the general's wife at all.

He grew up in the capital city and didn't spend much time with his parents, so he didn't dare to do anything wrong at first.

Later I saw my father was often away in the military camp.

And my mother looks like a gentle beauty.

He became more and more outrageous.

He also ignored his sister's warning.

Who knew that there were hidden talents among the people in the gambling den at the border, and that all kinds of masters would appear out of control.

He won all his money.

He was unwilling to give up, so he borrowed money from the gambling house.

When someone saw that he was nervous, they said that giving him something good to smoke would help relieve his physical and mental tension.

He tried to draw it, and indeed all his worries disappeared.

Temporarily relieved the pressure.

Later on, he became more and more addicted to smoking. When he sat at the gambling table, he would smoke while gambling.

This thing has a strong lasting effect, and you will need to spend money to buy it later.

He went to borrow another sum of money from Beijing.

If he fails to pay back these two debts to Beijing today, his hands and feet will be chopped off and thrown into a large jar to be made into a human pig, which will be placed in front of the gambling house as a warning to others.

Only then did he remember his sister's thoughts.

It is simply a prophecy that has come true.

Only then did he remember to go home and ask his mother for help.

See if my sister can save him.

Hearing his mother's question, Mu Lao Si suppressed his discomfort and knelt on the ground with a plop, "Mom, I was wrong. I just couldn't help itching to do it... I wanted to buy you a gift with the money I won..."

"General's wife, this is your child, right? He owes debts to the capital, a total of five hundred taels." The person who lent money in the capital took out two IOUs.

[Oh my god! One tael of silver is about 1,000 yuan. If these 500 taels of silver are converted into RMB, wouldn't that be more than 500,000 yuan?]

[Oh my god! Gambling really kills people! Families are broken up! ]

[Dad is a penniless man, and he spends all his spare money on buying weapons or food. Where does he get so much money? ]

[What's more, Fourth Brother smokes marijuana! That's a drug! If you smoke it for a long time, it will invade your five abdominal organs and six internal organs. Over time, the whole person will be ruined! ]

General's Wife: What! So serious!

The five brothers of the Mu family: It’s over!

Especially the person involved, Mu Lao Si, was in a very bad state.

My sister is a living god.

Everything you said hit the mark.

If you don't listen to your sister, you will suffer.

"Fourth child, I gave birth to you but didn't teach you or discipline you. I feel guilty about you, but that doesn't mean I will condone your mistakes."

"How old are you? You're already addicted to gambling. Now you're also following bad practices and smoking marijuana with others!"

The general's wife was trembling all over. "Who did you learn these harmful things from?"

Mu Lao Si answered truthfully, "I learned it when I was in the capital. I made some friends in a restaurant. They said they would take me to experience life. I thought it was interesting, so I followed them. That's when I learned it..."

Upon hearing this, the general's wife wanted to pick up a stick and beat Mu Lao Si.

This brat should be grateful to Yan'er for saving him.

She held Yan'er in her arms and didn't dare to make any noise.

Afraid of scaring Yan'er.

"Mom, I know I was wrong..." Mu Lao Si knelt down and begged for mercy.

[Fourth brother really knows he is wrong. If he cannot pay back the debt to Beijing, he will be turned into a human pig. Doesn't he dare to admit his mistake? ]

[Fourth brother has become a bad person, but it was others who taught him to be bad with a mission.]

[All this is done to make sure that Daddy has no successor. After all, Daddy is a general who protects the country. Some people are worried that after Daddy gains military power, he will become the emperor's favorite...]

[Except for the second brother, all the other brothers could not escape the disaster! Although the second brother was not led astray by others, he was killed tragically on the battlefield by someone’s scheme...]

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

The general's wife couldn't let anything happen to Mu Lao Si.

But to keep him and to save him.

She gave birth to five sons, how come they were all spoiled and led astray?

She absolutely cannot tolerate this happening!

The general's wife's eyes grew colder, and she said to the debt lenders, "Brothers, please be kind and let him go. I will go back and get the money to pay it back for him. He is still young, and I will keep a strict watch on him."

[Mother is going to use the money that my five brothers used to get married! ]

[Mother, please use my money. I received a lot of gold, silver and jewelry during the full moon banquet.]

When the general's wife heard her daughter's voice, she felt a surge of warmth in her heart.

My daughter is really a caring little girl.

When something happens at home, she knows to use her money to help solve the problem.

But that was saved for my daughter's dowry in the future. How could I use my daughter's money?

And Mu Lao Si lowered his head in shame, wishing he could dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it.

Even his sister is more sensible than him!

"Since he is really from your general's mansion, I will let him go, but he must pay back the debt to the capital."

"Yeah." The general's wife said, and then said a few words to Yu'er beside her.

Yu'er immediately turned around and went back home.

Go and get the general's wife's private vault.

Soon Yu'er brought a moon pearl.

This Moon Pearl is a rare item, and there are only three of them in the whole country.

This was the Moon Pearl that her father gave her before he died, and he said it was a priceless pearl.

When the debt lender in Beijing saw the Moon Pearl, his eyes lit up!

"Is this the legendary rare Moon Pearl, which only exists in three pieces? Madam General, are you really using it to pay off your debt?"

"Yes, this Moon Pearl is worth more than five hundred taels, it is priceless." The general's wife was reluctant to part with it, but in order to save her son, she had to use it to pay off the debt.

The Moon Pearl is just for viewing and has no great value.

But now it can save the fourth brother's life, which is priceless.

"Yes, I know." The moneylender took the Yuemingzhu and handed the IOU to the general's wife.

The general's wife looked at the IOU and asked Yu'er to keep it.

The general's wife also ordered the other brothers to carry the fourth child into the garden and lock him up there; no one was allowed to let him out.

They even raised the high walls of the Old Fourth Courtyard and filled them with sharp tiles.

The fourth brother is obedient now.

But he was feeling uncomfortable at this moment.

I feel uncomfortable all over.

I want to go play dice again.

The main thing is that he still wants to smoke that thing.

"Ah! Help! Let me out!"

Mu Lao Si screamed wildly and uncontrollably.

[Oh, this fourth brother is still not obedient, and still wants to go out? If he goes out, not to mention becoming a human pig, he won't even be alive! ]

Suddenly, my sister's voice came.

Only then did Mu Laosi calm himself down.

But it is still very painful and uncomfortable.

"Old Four, you are lucky that your father is not at home today. If not, your hands and feet would be broken. Why are you still not behaving yourself?"

The general's wife said very sternly, "No one is allowed to open the door for him."

"Yes, mother."

"Yes, ma'am."

The four brothers of the Mu family and their servants said in unison.

The ones who feared the most about something like this happening to Mu Lao Si were Mu Lao San and Mu Lao Wu.

Mu Lao San: Stop masturbating and stop visiting brothels... You won’t even know you’ll get hurt!

Mu Laowu: I have to study harder. If I die of stupidity... that would be too sad...

[Fourth brother, please recite the Vajra Mantra. Perhaps it will help you.]

Everyone was also stunned when they heard this.

The general's wife did not hesitate and had someone bring Buddhist scriptures. She asked Mu Laosi to copy a copy of the scripture by hand and recite the entire text.

Mu Laowu, who hates studying: I still need to have a good attitude towards studying. If I am punished to copy, that would be terrible...

Mu Lao Si did the same.

He was copying scriptures obediently inside.

You really have to listen to your sister.

In the following days, Mu Laosi was locked up in the garden and made to copy Buddhist scriptures.

"I told you, you gave birth to useless children, why do you need to live so well? You actually kicked my grandson out, and now the retribution has come too quickly!"

The old lady watched all this and felt sorry for the Moon Pearl being handed over to someone else by the general's wife, and she was extremely angry.

This Luo family had such a treasure but didn't even give it to her as an honor!

This daughter-in-law is simply rebelling!

However, the Moon Pearl is already in her hands, and she wants to empty Luo's private treasury bit by bit!

The general's wife was already unhappy and worried about the future of her children.

Everything Yan'er said came true one by one.

And she didn't know what would happen next.

"Mother-in-law, how can you say such things when the fourth son is suffering so much?" The general's wife stopped and looked at the old lady.

The old lady is now in a wheelchair.

"Luo, he deserves what he has suffered! Look at what kind of useless children you gave birth to? Every one of them is useless." The old lady said with a pah, "You even dared to use the Moon Pearl of the Mu family to pay off the debt. You are so brave!"

The general's wife frowned slightly.

[Mother, the reason why Fourth Brother climbed over the wall to leave was because the old lady's own grandson held a grudge against him and led him to climb over the wall to gamble and develop a bad habit. Moreover, the gambling house was also colluded with them.]

[If you don't believe me, you can go and see the old lady's room. That's where the Moon Pearl is hidden! ]
