1450 Chapter 1450 - 1445: Old Mrs. Mu Was Pushed Into the Night Soil Heap 2026-10-10

”In the past, it was your uncle who was wrong. Your aunt has always remembered the mistakes she made, just waiting for the day when retribution comes, and she’ll accept the punishment she deserves!”

”Xiaxia, what your uncle said is true. If you still don’t believe it, your aunt can swear...”

Mrs. Jin raised her hand, making a gesture as if to swear.

”Heaven above, if I, Jinyin’er, were to...”

”Alright, aunt, please don’t say anymore, I... I believe you!” Mu Xiaxia, looking troubled, grabbed Mrs. Jin’s hand to stop her from continuing.

This was the result Mrs. Jin wanted to see.

Mrs. Jin’s plan was actually quite simple. She wanted to treat Mu Xiaxia well, and then gradually numb her. Only in this way, when the day came for her to sell Mu Xiaxia, she wouldn’t resist.

Maybe... she might even feel grateful!

”Xiaxia, you’re so good, so thoughtful, just like Dan Dan and Yingying!”

”Rest assured, since aunt said she would treat you like her own daughter, then your Mrs. Qin, I will personally see to it.

Whoever Dan Dan and Yingying marry into, you definitely won’t be any worse off!”

Mrs. Jin, while painting a rosy picture for Mu Xiaxia, picked up a set of rouge and powder from her dressing table.

”Xiaxia, this is aunt’s token of intention for you. You’re not getting any younger, it’s time you learned how those rich ladies in the county dress up!”

”This rouge and powder are from the Lingzhi Pavilion in the county, each item is not cheap. Do you know how to dress up? Would you like aunt to show you?”

”Is... it okay?” Mu Xiaxia hesitated.

She had never dressed up before and didn’t know how to apply rouge and powder.

”Of course, but since you have an injury on your face, aunt can only apply it on half of your face, but this way you can see the effect.”

Mrs. Jin was all gracious and from the moment Mu Xiaxia came in, every word she said was pleasant.

Mu Xiaxia always remembered Mu Shuangshuang’s words to be wary of Mrs. Jin and Mu Dade.

But ultimately, she was too young and didn’t understand the treacheries of the world.

With just a dress and a set of rouge and powder, Mrs. Jin managed to slightly shift Mu Xiaxia’s perception of her aunt, even making her begin to feel that her aunt had changed for the better!

Mrs. Jin had been dressing up for years, her skill in applying rouge and powder was naturally above average.

Not only did she intentionally dress up Mu Xiaxia, she not only applied powder and rouge, she even shaped and defined Mu Xiaxia’s eyebrows into willow leaf brows.

The children of the Old Mu Family were not ugly.

After dressing up, she looked even more pure and lovely.

Mu Xiaxia, looking at her reflection in the copper mirror, couldn’t help but keep staring.

Mrs. Jin, too, but her mind was concerning into which brothel to sell Mu Xiaxia.

With such a good foundation, if trained for two years in a brothel, she might become quite prominent.

Actually, Mrs. Jin’s heart favored Mu Shuangshuang as a choice.

That stubborn girl had a tough temperament, but out of all the nieces, she was the best-looking.

Even compared to Mrs. Jin’s own two daughters whom she raised as if they were rich ladies, Mu Shuangshuang surpassed them.

If she were sent to a brothel, she’d surely become a money tree.

”Aunt——”

”Great aunt——”

Mrs. Jin was lost in thought, and it took several calls from Mu Xiaxia for her to snap out of it.

”What’s the matter?”

Finally coming back to her senses, Mrs. Jin looked bewildered.

”Nothing, aunt. I should go back. I’ll come to get the prescription when uncle returns, okay?” Mu Xiaxia asked.

”Alright!” Mrs. Jin nodded.

She got up, ready to see Mu Xiaxia off. Seeing that Mu Xiaxia was about to leave, yet hadn’t said a word about washing off the rouge and powder on her face, Mrs. Jin increasingly felt her plan was working.

She must constantly numb Mu Xiaxia’s heart until... personally sending her to the brothel!

Mu Xiaxia stood up just in time to notice Mrs. Jin’s pile of clothes on the chair, still waiting to be washed.

”Aunt, are those clothes dirty? Should I help you wash them?”

Mu Xiaxia asked.

Naturally, Mrs. Jin was delighted, she and her daughters had many outfits and liked to change.

Even in the winter, not changing two to three sets a day wouldn’t be enough.

But now was not the time!

”No need, Xiaxia, go ahead. I will handle these clothes myself!” Mrs. Jin said with a smile.

Mu Xiaxia looked at her own clothes, then at the rouge and powder wrapped in cloth in her hand, feeling compelled to help Mrs. Jin wash the clothes.

Otherwise, she’d feel guilty about it.

”Aunt, let me help you! It’s cold, and these heavy, tiring chores can be left to Xiaxia!

If you don’t agree, I won’t take the rouge and clothes!”

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Jin couldn’t be happier.

She feigned refusal a bit before eventually letting Mu Xiaxia take all the clothes.

As soon as Mu Xiaxia left, Mrs. Jin’s smiling face instantly fell.

This time, to please Mu Xiaxia, she spent five hundred coins.

If it weren’t for the two dresses that were given to Dan Dan and Yingying by other ladies, she estimated it wouldn’t have been possible to keep up appearances without two silver.

So hateful!

Mrs. Jin was filled with hate, thinking about those leeches in the Old Mu Family, who eat, use, and stay on her expenses.

Yet each acted as if they were masters.

That wretched old woman was even more disgusting, doing things like dumping garbage.

Could someone like that truly go unpunished?

Mrs. Jin kept cursing the people of the Old Mu Family in her mind while waiting for Mu Dade to return.

She didn’t know why recently Mu Dade was coming home later and later.

He claimed there were things to do at the government office, but Mrs. Jin didn’t believe it.

She always felt that Mu Dade still had lingering connections with Ruan Xiao Jiao.

But without evidence, she couldn’t deal with those two.

Mrs. Jin also had deep concerns that Mu Dade and Ruan Xiao Jiao had better not have any affairs known to the County Magistrate.

Otherwise... everyone in the Old Mu Family would be ruined.

At that point, Mu Dade wouldn’t escape, and as his wife, neither would she.

As dusk fell, the people of the Old Mu Family finished eating the meal cooked by Mu Xiaxia.

Mu Dade finally arrived late, and naturally, Old Mrs. Mu started to cry and complain to him about Mrs. Jin’s misconduct as a daughter-in-law.

And this went on for half an hour.

When Mu Dade eventually returned to the main room, their room with Mrs. Jin, it was completely dark.

Mrs. Jin lit a lamp in the room, sitting on the warm hearth waiting for Mu Dade to appear.

Fortunately, Mu Dade finally arrived!

The door creaked open, and Mu Dade entered the room, heading straight for the hearth. He grabbed Mrs. Jin and kissed her hard, licking her face all over.
