Mu Jinnian grabbed the stall owner and threw him to Zhen Chang'an.
"Uncle Zhen, this person is distorting the truth and giving false testimony to frame an innocent person. I'm leaving him to you to handle."
Zhen Chang'an waved his sleeve and said to his men, "Take him back to the yamen."
The stall owner was filled with remorse and repeatedly shouted, "I was wrong! I will never do it again!"
The men covered the stall owner's mouth and dragged him away.
The stall owner wept uncontrollably, regretting that he had mistaken the person and chosen the wrong side.
After dealing with the stall owner, Mu Jinnian looked at the plump lady.
"This lady tried to tie up my sister without any evidence, committing a private torture in broad daylight. I think you're just too thick-skinned and itching for a fight."
Mu Jinnian questioned her sharply, which frightened the fat lady into crying out that she was innocent. She grabbed Sun Mingzhu and blocked her way.
“Young Master Mu, I was deceived. It was all caused by this woman and her daughter. I was just passing by.”
After saying that, the fat lady pushed Sun Mingzhu forward and then hid behind her.
That bitch! She was the one who was throwing her weight around just now, and now she's the one trying to find someone else to take the fall.
They're just trying to pin the blame on her because she's from the Mu family!
Sun Mingzhu cursed inwardly, but dared not utter a single word in front of the Mu family.
Seeing that the three sons of the Mu family were determined to get to the bottom of this, Sun Mingzhu had no choice but to turn her attention to the little dumpling.
Children are always easier to coax than adults.
Sun Mingzhu steeled her heart, knelt down in front of the little boy with a thud, and said with tears streaming down her face:
"Miss Mu, I was just worried when I saw my daughter's face was scratched. I didn't want to wrong you."
"You are the most obedient and sensible child, and Auntie likes you the most."
"Please forgive your aunt this time."
The little dumpling watched Sun Mingzhu silently, feeling as if she were performing a magic trick, changing her appearance every now and then.
He was fiercely demanding an explanation from her just moments ago, but now he's sincerely begging for forgiveness.
The little dumpling thought that if Aunt Sun went to perform in a Southern Opera troupe, she would definitely be a top star.
When Jiang Yuanyuan saw her mother kneel down, she knelt down as well.
"Sister Mu, I was wrong this time. I shouldn't have tried to take the hairpin from you."
"But you did push me down. Considering my injured face, please don't hold it against me."
As Jiang Yuanyuan spoke, she glanced at Mu Yanhong intentionally or unintentionally.
She couldn't let her brother Hong think she was a bad child.
Mu Yanhong avoided Jiang Yuanyuan's gaze and shrank behind Mu Yanming.
Mu Yanming, who had been silently observing, sighed and shook his head.
She sighed inwardly: "Like mother, like daughter. Sun Mingzhu is really going to ruin Jiang Yuanyuan's life."
The little dumpling looked at the two of them and said firmly, "You are bad people, and I will not forgive you."
The image of Jiang Yuanyuan charging at her with a ferocious expression, clutching the hairpin, was still etched in the little girl's mind.
If she hadn't pushed Jiang Yuanyuan away, her face would definitely have been scratched with several bloody marks.
She could never forgive such a wicked person!
Mu Yanxiu pouted and agreed with the little dumpling's words.
Yes! I will never forgive those two wicked people.
Sun Mingzhu thought that if she cried a few times, the little dumpling would forgive her, but she was rejected on the spot.
She knew that brat was no good.
They had all begged for forgiveness, but she still wouldn't let it go.
Sun Mingzhu became angrier the more she thought about it, wishing she could tear the little dumpling apart with her bare hands.
After hearing the little dumpling's answer, Mu Jinyi coldly said to Sun Mingzhu and the other person:
“My sister has already made herself very clear, so you should all get out of here.”
The crowd burst into laughter, looking at Sun Mingzhu and Jiang Yuanyuan as if they were clowns.
Sun Mingzhu was so angry that her nostrils flared out, and she grabbed Jiang Yuanyuan and tried to leave.
Jiang Yuanyuan reached out to pull Mu Yanhong.
Mu Yanhong dodged away as if he were avoiding a plague.
"Brother Hong, do you hate Yuan'er?" Jiang Yuanyuan asked, her eyes filled with tears.
"Nephew, come here quickly, be careful she doesn't scratch your face." The little dumpling reached out and pulled Mu Yanhong over.
Jiang Yuanyuan's face turned ashen, and under the mocking gazes of the crowd, she ran away in humiliation with Sun Mingzhu.
After the two left, the plump lady thought the matter was over and went up to them in a fawning manner, trying to get closer to the Mu family.
Mu Jinnian quickly drew his sword.
The sharp sword was brandished in front of the fat lady, who was so frightened that she clutched her chest and dared not utter a sound.
"A-Nian, let's go."
"Uncle Zhen, we'll take our leave now."
Mu Jinyi, concerned about the injury on the little dumpling's hand, spoke up.
Zhen Chang'an nodded and bowed, saying, "Young Master Mu, please take care. I will visit your residence another day."
After Zhen Chang'an finished speaking, he leaned close to Mu Jinnian's ear.
"Fourth Young Master, something happened by the ditch last night. You'll have time to come to the yamen later."
Mu Jinnian: "I'll take my sister home first, and then I'll go."
Zhen Chang'an watched the Mu family leave.
Mu Jinyi carried the little dumpling to the nearest clinic and ordered the doctor to heal the injury on her hand.
As the doctor applied the ointment to the little girl, he said, "This young lady's injury is not serious. After applying the ointment, she will be fine in a few days."
Mu Yanxiu was jumping around in Mu Jinxuan's arms, and had regained her usual playful energy.
However, just to be on the safe side, Mu Jinyi still had the doctor examine Mu Yanxiu again.
After confirming that the two little ones had only minor falls and were otherwise unharmed.
Mu Jinxuan then led everyone to the Hundred Ornaments Pavilion.
The two little ones hadn't bought any jewelry yet, so Mu Jinxuan specially brought them here to choose some.
As soon as the little dumpling entered the store, she was attracted by the sparkling jewelry.
Mu Yanxiu let out an excited shout and ran over to pick out her items.
"Third brother, the things here must be very expensive."
The little dumpling tugged at Mu Jinxuan's trouser hem, a little worried about whether he could afford it.
"Hmm, it's expensive, but you can choose whatever you like." Mu Jinxuan pulled the little dumpling to the jewelry counter.
"Then the third brother will have to do hard labor."
The little dumpling's inexplicable remark puzzled Mu Jinxuan.
"Why?"
"If Third Brother can't pay, won't he be arrested by the boss?"
The little dumpling's words made Mu Jinyi and Mu Jinnian burst into laughter, and even Mu Yanming couldn't help but twitch his lips in disbelief.
Mu Yanming: Is there anything in the world that her third uncle can't afford?
After Mu Jinyi finished laughing, he said to the little dumpling, "Your third brother has nothing, but he's never short of money."
"Don't even mention buying you a few pieces of jewelry, this store itself belongs to your third brother."
Who doesn't know Mu Jinxuan, the richest man in the capital?
How can I possibly become a wage earner?
Mu Jinyi even secretly calculated that the total assets held by Mu Jinxuan probably couldn't even compare to the national treasury.
Mu Jinxuan, who is incredibly wealthy, could afford to buy a few pieces of jewelry.
The little dumpling's mouth dropped open in surprise, "Third brother, I never knew you were so rich!"
The little money-grubber's eyes were filled with admiration.
Mu Jinxuan said to the shop assistant, "Pack all these pieces of jewelry for my sister."
The little dumpling shook its head hurriedly, picked up a yellow apricot blossom hairpin, and said:
"Third brother, I only need this one."
If we take them all, her little head can't fit them all!
Mu Jinxuan sighed. It seemed that none of the younger sisters liked it.
It doesn't matter, just replace them all.
Mu Jinxuan instructed the shop assistants to replace all the jewelry with new pieces within three days and then deliver them to the Mu family.
In the end, after a long time of searching, the little girl only took a liking to an apricot blossom hairpin and a gold bone necklace.
The bone necklace was chosen by her for Qiuqiu.
Mu Yanxiu, on the other hand, had large rings on all ten fingers, five or six bracelets on her wrists, and seven or eight necklaces around her neck.
She was so heavy that she had to groan when she walked.
Mu Yanming didn't take anything; she felt that it would be better to buy more books than these things.
