”So, are they truly in love?” Ruan Xiao Jiao suddenly said.

”In love?”

”Yes, in love! Perhaps for other reasons, they cannot be together, but in fact, they have already acknowledged each other!

Or perhaps someone is obstructing them, causing them to be separated!”

Ruan Xiao Jiao was referring to herself and Mu Dade.

If Mrs. Jin hadn’t drugged him initially and climbed into Mu Dade’s bed.

Given the relationship between Ruan Xiao Jiao and Mu Dade, it was only a matter of time before they got married!

Mrs. Jin is the person causing trouble, the one against whom she and Mu Dade cannot be together!

”Even so, it doesn’t hide the fact of their illicit relationship! No one will forgive them, and no one will pity them!

Their actions not only affected themselves but also tarnished their family’s reputation!”

Mu Shuangshuang has always opposed infidelity and being a mistress.

Love does not mean committing adultery in marriage!

Love does not mean using it as a weapon to destroy someone else’s family.

Especially when a couple has children, a single claim of love leaves the children without a father and the wife without a husband.

Even if in love, please divorce, bear the responsibilities you should bear, and then love!

Mu Shuangshuang’s words have a significant impact on Ruan Xiao Jiao.

Ruan Xiao Jiao and Mu Dade, from the moment they were together, never considered their family!

Even when she fled three years later, Ruan Xiao Jiao excluded her family!

At this moment, Ruan Xiao Jiao suddenly hesitated.

For more than ten years, she has lived reclusively in the County Magistrate’s household.

Not vying for anything, not even caring for the County Magistrate’s favor.

Is it truly worth it for Mu Dade?

But ultimately, she concluded it was worth it!

She was not wrong, Mrs. Jin was wrong, and her twin daughters should never have been born!

Only she was worthy of bearing children for Da De!

Mu Shuangshuang was utterly unaware that her goodwill failed to bring Ruan Xiao Jiao back.

Instead, it pushed her further down the shameless path!

She was determined to have Mu Dade’s child no matter what!

Even if everyone in the world opposes it!

”Miss Shuangshuang, it’s getting late, shouldn’t you be heading back!” Ruan Xiao Jiao directly asked.

Mu Shuangshuang was stunned, knowing Ruan Xiao Jiao had lost her sense of propriety, and speaking more was futile!

Never mind, she did what she could, and if the last step truly arrives, she’ll do her utmost to protect the innocent of Old Mu Family!

As for Mu Dade and Ruan Xiao Jiao, they brought this upon themselves!

”Yes, it’s getting late! If I wait any longer, I might not reach Er Gui Village before dark!

Thank you, Aunt Jiaojiao, for the tea; it was delicious. I hope next time I visit the county, I can savor such good tea again!”

Mu Shuangshuang spoke ambiguously.

But Ruan Xiao Jiao was so immersed in her love for Mu Dade she didn’t understand her words.

Taohua, the maid, escorted Mu Shuangshuang out of the courtyard.

At the peach orchard outside the yard, Mu Shuangshuang suddenly took out a tael of silver and handed it to Taohua.

”No matter what happens, surviving is the most important!”

Taohua was completely dazed, staring at Mu Shuangshuang, tears continuously streaming.

Growing up, she never met someone as kind as Mu Shuangshuang.

Upon first meeting, she treated her to ribs, and now, she gave her money.

”Shuangshuang, thank you, thank you...” Taohua wiped her tears with the back of her hand.

Mu Shuangshuang took a cotton handkerchief from her sleeve and handed it over.

”Keep this silver yourself, don’t give it to anyone else; one day, it might come in handy!”

Mu Shuangshuang thought Taohua had been taken advantage of.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have love marks on her chest.

She cried so sorrowfully, it mustn’t have been consensual.

If a day comes where her life is at stake, Mu Shuangshuang hopes she takes the silver and escapes far away.

After all, in this era, women aren’t regarded with leniency!

Taking Mu Shuangshuang’s advice, Taohua buried the silver beneath a flower tree in the courtyard; she regularly tended to the flowers, ensuring no one would discover it!

After this, she returned to Ruan Xiao Jiao’s room.

Ruan Xiao Jiao was already waiting, and Taohua’s eyes were still red.

Suddenly, she knelt down, ”Madam, please spare Taohua, Taohua truly doesn’t want to do such things with the master anymore!”

In recent days, the County Magistrate visited Ruan Xiao Jiao’s room daily.

Ruan Xiao Jiao was unwilling to let him touch her and pushed Taohua forward.

Her young, fresh body was tortured beyond recognition.

Ruan Xiao Jiao didn’t care, only thinking the little maid was scared of being caught, and said such words deliberately!

”Taohua, you know my situation with Da De, if you don’t help me, what will happen to the child in my belly?” Ruan Xiao Jiao asked.

”But... it’s really painful!”

The County Magistrate showed no restraint!

”Enough, Taohua! I saved your parents back then; you vowed to serve me forever, and now you won’t sacrifice even a little?” Ruan Xiao Jiao raised her voice!

Taohua started crying again, shaking her head, ”No, Taohua will do anything, but... but you said before, just once, just once...”

Ruan Xiao Jiao completely misunderstood the magnitude of courage it took for a maid to sacrifice her virginity for her in this era!

In that moment, Taohua lost her chance to marry into a good family!

Because she was no longer pure!

”But I didn’t expect the master would keep coming!” Ruan Xiao Jiao confidently replied.

Just as she prepared to say something more, someone shouted from outside the courtyard.

”Aunt Jiaojiao, the County Magistrate is here!”

Ruan Xiao Jiao’s expression changed; she glanced at Taohua kneeling on the ground, then said, ”Hurry up and make tea, these matters will not be discussed today!

Also, don’t reveal cracks in front of the master, or we are both doomed!”

After giving orders, Ruan Xiao Jiao tidied her headpiece.

Just as she prepared to greet him, the County Magistrate entered the room.

He looked refreshed, smiling as he approached.

”Why are you up? I was a bit unrestrained last night, were you hurt?” the County Magistrate gently asked.

Ruan Xiao Jiao shook her head, ”I’m fine! Thank you for your concern!”

”Don’t be shy, to be honest, it was my fault!”

The County Magistrate couldn’t help but think, these days he felt full of energy every day.

Especially at night, no matter the feeling or anything else, he felt particularly delighted.

Ruan Xiao Jiao’s expression remained calm, but Taohua beside her was blushing fiercely.

”I brought you ointment, remember to have the maid apply it for you!” the County Magistrate said.
