From Folly to Fortune：I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!

Chapter 1157: Chapter 1153: Joint Criticism of Mu Dade (First Update)

”Master, I’m afraid this golden bracelet truly wasn’t swapped by Mu Danian!”

Mu Shuangshuang loudly declared in front of everyone present.

As soon as she finished speaking, most of those present gasped.

Shock, suspicion, delight... various emotions appeared on the faces of everyone present.

Originally, Mu Danian, who looked like he had lost everything, sitting on the ground, seemed to find hope again, his eyes began to shine as he looked at Mu Shuangshuang.

”Shuang, do you believe me?” Mu Danian crawled excitedly in front of Mu Shuangshuang and shouted.

At this moment, he didn’t care who was helping him, or if they had a grudge against him.

He only knew he wanted to prove his innocence; if he really had to take the blame for this, he would spend his entire life as a mud leg in the countryside!

He didn’t want to be a mud leg; he wanted to go to town and be served by someone for a lifetime...

Mu Shuangshuang backed away two steps with a look of disgust and snapped, ”Get away, stay far from me! We’re not done with you accusing Xiao Han yet!”

”You...” Mu Danian gasped in anger.

But he knew the person in front of him was his last straw to clutch and he couldn’t afford to offend!

”Shuangshuang, I’ll stay away from you, but you must clear Fifth Uncle of suspicion; his future depends on you!”

Mu Danian timely flattered Mu Shuangshuang, hoping she would clear his name!

Mu Shuangshuang rolled her eyes.

She really didn’t know where Mu Danian got the courage to think she was helping him?

She said these words only to tear off Mu Dade and Mrs. Jin’s mask, to let them taste being scorned!

”Shuang, what exactly do you mean by that? If the bracelet wasn’t swapped by your Fifth Uncle, then who swapped it?” Mr. Mu came back from his shock and was the first to ask.

Mu Shuangshuang sneered, ”That you’d have to ask my elder uncle and aunt!”

”Shuangshuang, if you have any grievances against me, you can speak directly. If I’ve done anything wrong, I can apologize to you.

But... please don’t say things that will ruin my and your aunt’s reputation. After all, once a reputation is destroyed, it can’t be repaired,” Mu Dade said amicably to Mu Shuangshuang on the surface.

In his heart, however, his hatred for Mu Shuangshuang had reached his bones!

Mu Shuangshuang also hated Mu Dade dearly!

She had only spoken the truth, yet Mu Dade hurriedly defended himself, stressing the importance of reputation.

And what about the truly wronged Xiao Han?

Her brother’s life was just beginning, and these people, for a bit of personal gain, wanted to destroy him!!!

Mu Shuangshuang couldn’t imagine if she were indeed the silly original girl, what would have happened to Xiao Han?

What would happen to the third branch?

”Elder Uncle, don’t twist my words. I have no issue with you; I’m simply saying the bracelet wasn’t swapped by Fifth Uncle!” Mu Shuangshuang said.

Mu Shuangshuang’s relentless attitude made Mrs. Jin a bit uneasy!

”Shuangshuang, say what you mean, who are you really talking about?” Mrs. Jin couldn’t help but reprimand Mu Shuangshuang.

Because she didn’t believe Mu Shuangshuang knew they had swapped the golden bracelet.

No matter if she guessed it, without them pulling out the bracelet, what could she do?

Catch the adultery with evidence, catch the thief with loot!

”Naturally, it’s for Elder Uncle and Aunt to hear. The gold bracelet was taken from your room; if Fifth Uncle didn’t swap it, it only means it was swapped by you!”

Mu Shuangshuang wasn’t afraid to offend Mrs. Jin and Mu Dade, and directly voiced her answer!

”Stop slandering us! Your Fifth Uncle is the one who swapped the bracelet,” Mrs. Jin anxiously cleared herself and Mu Dade.

After speaking, she pretended to be pitiable in front of Mr. Mu.

”Father, listen to Shuang’s words. Dade and I kindly cleared Xiao Han’s suspicion, yet we haven’t gained a bit, and we’re being bitten by this girl!

Father, you must stand up for Dade and me! Dade’s position as a county magistrate, reputation is crucial!

If mistakenly manipulated by malicious people, Dade might not keep his official hat!”

Hearing that Mu Dade might lose his official position due to this matter, Mr. Mu was furious and directly reprimanded Mu Shuangshuang:

”Shuang, that’s enough of this matter. Your elder uncle and aunt kindly helped you; why are you throwing dirt at them?

You dislike your Fifth Uncle; he is in your hands. You needn’t defend him; the bracelet was swapped by him, and it was stolen by him and the second brother’s wife. No more arguing!”

Mr. Mu’s attitude was typically to smooth things over.

Whatever others said, he believed it was the truth.

Previously, Mu Danian claimed Xiao Han stole something, and he lectured Xiao Han to admit it with an elder’s stance.

Now, Mrs. Jin said Mu Danian swapped the bracelet, and he lectured Mu Danian to acknowledge his mistake.

Mu Shuangshuang could never understand how someone like him became the head of the family!

It’s fortunate he’s merely a ’household head’; if he were a county magistrate or something, how many unjust cases would there be?

”Master, I’m not arguing, I have evidence to prove the bracelet wasn’t swapped by Fifth Uncle!” Mu Shuangshuang said.

”Stop scaremongering here; if you had evidence, why didn’t you produce it earlier rather than now?” Mrs. Jin questioned.

Mu Shuangshuang: ”Previously, I could only speculate! Speculate that you and Elder Uncle swapped Fifth Uncle’s bracelet, but now, I have enough certainty to believe this matter was done by you and Elder Uncle.

Because you and Elder Uncle are subtly impatient. You were eager to show your stance in Fifth Uncle’s matter.

You were determined not to let Fifth Uncle and my second aunt’s family follow you to town, because you never intended to bring them!”

Mu Shuangshuang’s gaze fell on Mu Dade and Mrs. Jin.

Their unease and panic were all seen by her.

After hearing her words, Mu Danian and Mrs. Lin were very excited.

”Well, Elder Brother, so this is the kind of person you are! I wondered why you said there wasn’t enough money for all of us to rent a house in the county, turns out it was all just an excuse you made!” Mu Danian cursed loudly.

Mrs. Lin joined in, ”How could you do this, initially it was us who scrimped and saved, eating barely anything, just to save up money for Elder Brother’s exams and travel expenses.

If it weren’t for us, the elder family’s situation would be similar to ours, a mud leg, no one better than the other!”

Mrs. Lin and Mu Danian always had incredible fighting power.

Despite the lack of evidence, they made it sound as if it were true.

Mu Shuangshuang was quite admiring!

”Fifth, Second Sister-in-law, shut your mouths! For things without evidence, how dare you spread lies?” The silent Old Mrs. Mu spat thick phlegm toward both their faces!
