Yang Yang replied with an honest look, "I only added a little water."
Mu Run: "...You really have the heart to do that, considering he's from the village."
"Sister Hong said that Madam has a flaw."
"My weaknesses?"
"Being too kind and soft-hearted gives those who want to harm you an opportunity to take advantage of you."
"No, right?" Mu Run felt quite normal. "Isn't being kind to others the foundation of being a person?"
"That depends on who you're dealing with; you can't be kind to bad people."
"Yang Yang! Who are you calling the villain?" Mo Xiaowan's voice trembled uncontrollably.
Yang Yang turned to look at Mo Xiaowan, his face instantly turning cold. "Do you know how many brothers and sisters in the village have died unjustly because of your betrayal? What are you if not a villain? One of Songshan's sons and two of Aunt Zhao's daughters were killed by the soldiers of the Northern Jin Dynasty. If they were alive today, they would be seventeen or eighteen-year-old young men and women. Just because of your selfishness, do you dare to call yourself a good person?"
As Mo Xiaowan listened, she immediately covered her ears, saying, "You're talking nonsense, you're talking nonsense, it's not my fault, it's not my fault."
"Aunt Zhao has taken good care of you, hasn't she? She's made you delicious food or nice things for your two daughters, and she remembers it all. Is this how you repay them? If they knew what you did, wouldn't they be magnanimous and say you're a kind person?"
Mu Run was unaware of these things and remained silent as she listened.
Aunt Zhao and her two daughters had even helped her pick tea. The two daughters, in particular, were very sensible and hardworking. This time, while picking autumn tea, she asked Cai about it, and Cai said the Zhao family had moved away and hadn't returned. So that's why…
Mo Xiaowan was deeply shocked. She had always known, but no one had ever exposed her. She could deceive herself by telling herself that those people's deaths had nothing to do with her. They were just too slow to leave. She had already told them to pack their things and leave, but they wouldn't.
Filled with shame and indignation, he snapped, "I don't want to see you. Get out!"
Mu Run sighed and said to Yang Yang, "Let her rest for a while. The Heart-Eating Gu is indeed quite painful when it flares up."
Yang Yang nodded, "I'll go prepare some dry food for the journey."
"Yes, you're very thoughtful." Mu Run and Yang Yang left the dungeon.
As soon as I got outside, I saw someone who should have been in the mountain stronghold sitting in the main hall, reading a court report from the Jin Dynasty.
Inside and outside the lobby, several female guests wanted to approach him, but were intimidated by his aloof aura and dared not get close.
Mu Run walked straight over and said, "Husband, you've come."
Upon hearing this, the female guests all showed displeasure, some leaving and others continuing to watch.
Fu Yunchen put down the court report in his hand, looked up at her, and a faint smile appeared on his lips. "I've come to take you back."
Mu Run nodded, "Yes, I was just about to go back too."
Fu Yunchen said to Yang Yang, "You should also pack up. The inn and teahouse will be closed for the time being."
"Yes, boss." Yang Yang immediately went to pack his things happily.
Mu Run looked at him and asked, "Why? The inn and teahouse were doing so well, why did they suddenly close down?"
Fu Yunchen replied, "It's not too late to open it later."
Mu Run was puzzled, but Fu Yunchen had already made up his mind, so she didn't say anything more. "By the way, Xiao Wan is here. Do you want to go see her?"
"..." Fu Yunchen frowned slightly, seemingly unwilling to see him, but still nodded, "Mm."
