Chapter 159 Do you still dare to quibble?
Zhang Wanqing stood at the door for a long time, then looked up, as if she had made some decision, and left.
He never looked inside the door again.
After Lin Zhiyi discussed some things with Li Wenjing, when he came out again, Zhang Wanqing was nowhere to be seen.
The next day.
The Lin family moved and held a grand banquet in the village.
Since the Lin family was not very familiar with the villagers, they asked Ma Cunzheng to notify them.
Anyone who wants to attend the relocation banquet can just come and have the meal.
The villagers still brought some gifts. Although they were not expensive, they also represented their thoughts.
All the other families exiled from the imperial court also came.
Naturally, the Mu family also came.
The person who came was Tong.
But as soon as she arrived, the villagers immediately looked in her direction.
Everyone was curious about how she had the nerve to come when her sister-in-law had done such harm to others.
There was a lot of discussion at the moment.
But they could not provide any substantial evidence and just made a few comments.
Tong handed an embroidered door curtain to Mrs. Song as a housewarming gift.
Don't hit a smiling person. Mrs. Song accepted the housewarming gift and smiled as she asked Tong to come in.
Tong felt unhappy when she looked at the big blue brick and tile house built by the Lin family.
She also heard people in the village talking about how the money for building the house was earned by Lin Zhiyi. When she compared it to her own sister-in-law, who was always a burden to everyone, she felt annoyed.
Suddenly I couldn't eat anymore.
She returned home, brought a basin of water, went straight to Mu Yunzhao's room, and poured the water down.
"Have you healed your wound? If you have, get up and get back to work."
Mu Yunzhao was very annoyed.
Before she could say anything, she heard Tong say, "Mu Yunzhao, that day I spoke up for you for the sake of the Mu family's reputation. I was afraid that you would cause trouble for the Mu family and make it impossible for them to live in the village.
"Do you think I don't know your little tricks? You stole that wolf cub down the mountain, didn't you? You went to great lengths to harm Miss Lin. You're so bold! You actually dared to steal a wolf cub down the mountain. Why didn't the wolf kill you that day?"
"Sister-in-law, it's not me." Mu Yunzhao retorted.
She couldn't admit it.
If she admitted it, not only Tong, but even her parents would be fed up with her and kick her out of the house.
That day, Mu Yunzhao's treatment cost his mother more than twenty taels of silver.
She could feel her parents' disappointment in her.
Tong slapped her in the face. "How dare you quibble? Wolves are not fools. They can smell. Besides, why don't they bite others, but only chase you and bite you?"
"Sister-in-law, I..."
"We're both sisters-in-law, so why are you and Lin Zhiyi so different? I'm telling you, Mu Yunzhao, if you dare to cause trouble for our family again, I'll report it to my mother and find you a marriage partner. I'll marry you off in the next few days."
Mu Yunzhao clenched his fists.
It’s Lin Zhiyi again.
"What are you dawdling for? Get up and get to work. Stop lying around in bed and go wash the clothes in the yard."
Tong cursed.
Mu Yunzhao felt very aggrieved.
Her injuries haven't fully healed yet, how can she work?
But she knew that Tong was a man of her words. If she said she would marry her off, she would really marry her off hastily.
She had no choice but to get up with her still-unhealed body and go to the yard.
In the evening, someone came to the Mu family.
Mu Yunzhao vaguely felt that this person looked familiar.
No, he seems to be the King of Qi's man.
It was this person who came to the Mu family in the previous life and asked the Mu family to keep an eye on the deposed prince.
But the deposed prince was no fool. He finally saw through the conspiracy but did not point it out. Five years later, when the Mu family returned to Chang'an, the deposed prince ordered the arrest of all the Mu family members.
Even she was implicated.
Although she was at the Sun family, it was obvious that County Captain Sun's attitude towards her had deteriorated.
No, she couldn't let her father be so foolish in this life and defect to the King of Qi again.
After the man left, Mu Qin asked his father, "Father, what happened to that man?"
Father Mu was silent for a long while, then sighed and said, "I was loyal to the Crown Prince, but in the end I ended up like this."
"So what does father mean?"
"The King of Qi knows that the deposed crown prince has planted new crops in the fields, but it's still unknown whether they can produce food. The King of Qi is afraid that the deposed crown prince will actually plant them. If that happens, the emperor will soften his heart and allow him to return to Chang'an, which will definitely affect the King of Qi's status."
"What does the King of Qi mean?"
"The King of Qi sent a message to me, asking me to destroy the crops growing in the fields of the deposed crown prince." Mu's father had a worried look on his face.
"The deposed prince planted ten acres of land, and all of them were destroyed? Just relying on the few people in our family?" Mu Qin asked.
Mu's father also found it difficult to do so.
What made him even more angry was that the King of Qi only asked him to do things and never sent him any money.
If the Mu family were to destroy it alone, they would not be able to finish it in one night. If the deposed prince found out the next day, he would definitely be on guard.
If you ask someone to destroy it, you are not allowed to pay them money.
There is no money left in the family now.
Mu Yunzhao, who was outside, heard the noise and hurried into the house, kneeling in front of his father. "Father, please don't do anything stupid. You can't destroy the crops that the deposed prince has worked so hard to grow."
Mu's father frowned.
If it were in the past, he might have listened to a few words from this concubine's daughter.
But ever since Mu Yunzhao had been a burden to the family, he had been extremely disappointed with his daughter.
"You should go back to your room and take care of your injuries. You don't need to interfere in these matters." Mu's father said unhappily.
Mu Qin's brows were also deeply furrowed. Because his father was there, he didn't want to say many unpleasant words.
"Why don't you go back to your room!"
Mu Yunzhao didn't move. "Dad, big brother, I advise you not to go against the deposed crown prince. Father has always been the deposed crown prince's man. Why would he defect to the King of Qi?"
Mu Qin stood up and said, "Mu Yunzhao, are you done yet? Go back to your room!"
Tong heard the sound and ran in.
After hearing Mu Yunzhao speak for the deposed prince, she still had something she didn't understand, so she asked:
"Mu Yunzhao, tell me the truth. The reason you harmed Miss Lin again and again was because you had your eyes on the deposed Crown Prince, right? And the deposed Crown Prince seemed to be very close to Miss Lin, so you harmed her, right?"
When Mu's mother heard this, she thought she had misheard, "What? To harm Miss Lin?"
Tong nodded, "Yes, mother-in-law, the reason my sister was bitten by a wolf this time was because she was the one who brought the wolf cub down from the mountain."
Mu's mother opened her eyes wide and looked at Mu Yunzhao in disappointment, "Zhaozhao, is what your sister-in-law said true?"
Mu Yunzhao lowered his head and dared not say a word.
Mu Qin stood up. "You're so vicious at such a young age! Mu Yunzhao, won't you give me an explanation?"
He was really afraid that Mu Yunzhao would one day harm his father, mother, wife and children.
After a pause, Mu Yunzhao finally spoke: "Father, Mother, Big Brother, the reason I do this is all for the good of the Mu family."
Mu Qin was furious. "That's enough, Mu Yunzhao! Do you still dare to quibble?"
It wasn't a big deal that she carried the wolf cub down the mountain, but it caused her family to pay all her medical expenses.
