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

”Fourth sister-in-law...”

No matter how you put it, Mrs. Liu wasn’t listening, and Mu Dade exhausted his patience.

His voice suddenly rose sharply.

”Does big brother have something to discuss with my fourth aunt? Just as well, since everyone is here, we can discuss how to handle what my big sister-in-law did!”

Mu Shuangshuang pushed the door open, and at the moment the door opened, a gust of cold wind was brought inside by her.

Everyone in the room, except for Mrs. Liu, couldn’t help but shiver.

Compared to this chill, Mrs. Liu’s heart was even colder.

However, seeing Mu Shuangshuang, Mrs. Liu became agitated. After nearly a whole night of not speaking, she finally opened her mouth.

”Shuangshuang, you’re back!” Mrs. Liu’s gaze fixed intently on Mu Shuangshuang.

Her eyes were fervent and somewhat frightening, as if all her hope rested on Mu Shuangshuang.

Mu Shuangshuang instinctively frowned but still spoke up, ”Xiaxia has been rescued!”

As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Lin came up, ”Shuangya, how is it? Did Xia lose her virginity? Could it be she was already violated?”

Mrs. Lin’s words were no less than rubbing salt in the wound, even disgustingly so.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Liu was immediately furious and shouted at Mrs. Lin, ”You shameless bitch, whore, get out!”

Mr. Mu also angrily roared, ”Second daughter-in-law, have you lost your mind? Should I bring your mother out to discipline you?”

Mu Shuangshuang moved forward and grabbed Mrs. Lin by her collar.

”Second aunt, open your dog eyes wide and see who you’re talking about!”

Mu Xiaxia being sold to the brothel by Mrs. Jin was already a heart-wrenching matter for the Mu Dajiang family,

Yet this second aunt paid no heed to this, bringing up the worst possible subject!

Mrs. Lin twitched her mouth, defending herself, ”What are you all doing? I’m just concerned about Xiaxia!

A woman’s reputation is such an important thing, if she loses her innocence, who would want her later!”

”Shut your filthy mouth! No one will think you’re mute if you don’t speak!” Mu Dazhong angrily rebuked Mrs. Lin.

Even he, as a man, couldn’t bear to listen anymore, not to mention Mrs. Liu, the mother.

Mrs. Liu went mad and pounced on Mrs. Lin, slapping her hard across the face.

Mu Shuangshuang’s hand still clutched Mrs. Lin’s collar, making it impossible for Mrs. Lin to escape.

She got slapped several times, wincing in pain.

Begging for mercy repeatedly, ”I was wrong, I was wrong! Xiaxia’s mother, please stop hitting me, stop...”

The others said nothing to help, tacitly agreeing to Mrs. Liu’s punishment of Mrs. Lin.

It wasn’t until Mrs. Liu grew tired that Mu Shuangshuang finally spoke!

”There’s something I need to tell everyone: Xiaxia didn’t lose her innocence; she is completely untouched! I can stake my head on it!

But if anyone dares to speak like my second aunt again, slandering Xiaxia’s name... Fourth aunt, just like how you beat my second aunt earlier, beat them to death, don’t use your fists, grab a knife, and cut one down, count one!”

Mu Shuangshuang said.

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone present sucked in a cold breath.

This girl is ruthless!

Clearly, she could have said from the start that Xiaxia wasn’t violated but chose to ignite the fourth sister-in-law’s hatred to beat Mrs. Lin.

Then used this incident to warn everyone!

Ensuring nobody dares to talk recklessly.

If Mu Shuangshuang had said this upon entering, everyone would certainly think she was lying, and there would be no guarantee someone wouldn’t spill the beans.

But the warning of Mrs. Lin getting a beating, anyone thinking of mentioning it next time will recall Mrs. Lin’s screams!

This is evidently doing more with less!

”What about Xiao Chu?” Mr. Mu suddenly asked from the side.

At the mention of Xiao Chu, Mu Shuangshuang’s expression grew more serious.

”The family that bought Xiao Chu left the county four days ago. I don’t know where they’ve gone now, but I’ve already asked a friend to investigate. When exactly they’ll be found, I’m not sure,” Mu Shuangshuang said.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Liu’s mind went blank, and she nearly collapsed.

Mu Shuangshuang extended her hand to support Mrs. Liu gently.

Mrs. Liu eventually stabilized herself, and her first action upon doing so was to go and attack Mrs. Jin.

”Return my son, give me back my son...”

Mrs. Liu pounced on Mrs. Jin, about to beat her up, when Mu Dade intervened to stop her.

Mu Shuangshuang stepped forward too, blocking Mu Dade from getting involved.

”Big brother, what my big sister-in-law did almost destroyed the family, even if my fourth aunt beats her to death, it’s her own retribution and has nothing to do with others!”

Mu Dade’s face turned red, ”But your big sister-in-law has already been taught a lesson like that; on her wrists, her calves, and even her neck...”

Mu Dade couldn’t finish speaking.

”Big brother, you got it wrong. My lesson to her is unrelated to her deeds, but because she wouldn’t reveal Xiao Chu and Xiaxia’s whereabouts; I’m questioning her!

Now, this is her punishment! Though it’s late, it’s better than nothing!” Mu Shuangshuang stated firmly.

Mu Dade was so angry he almost spat blood, ”You...”

”Rather than covering for her, big brother, why not think of a way to save your official hat instead? If there’s no satisfying answer to this matter, I will go directly to the County Magistrate!” Mu Shuangshuang declared.

”Directly... find the County Magistrate?”

Mu Dade was startled by Mu Shuangshuang’s words. He believed what Mu Shuangshuang said because Ruan Xiao Jiao had told him that Mu Shuangshuang had dined at the County Magistrate’s house.

She also seemed to have a good relationship with the County Magistrate’s son, Zheng Zhi.

This explains why the government office people were helping to find someone!

Both Mr. Mu and Mu Dazhong, as well as Mu Danian, felt uncomfortable.

Mu Dazhong spoke up, ”Shuangya, don’t be rash! This whole issue is solely caused by your big sister-in-law, nothing to do with your big brother!

You can’t escalate this to the government office. If you do, what will people think of your big brother?

Getting a scholar’s degree and becoming a county magistrate is no easy feat. Our whole family is counting on your big brother!”

”Exactly, let’s sit down and discuss this carefully! Anything goes except involving the government office!” Mu Danian added.

While Mr. Mu remained silent, his look towards Mu Shuangshuang spoke volumes, which Mu Shuangshuang was already expecting.

Indeed, just as she anticipated!

Mu Shuangshuang chuckled, ”So, your point is, as long as big brother can keep his job, it’s okay even if he kills or sets fires? Is that what you mean?”

”Shuangya...” Mr. Mu attempted to persuade Mu Shuangshuang.

But Mu Shuangshuang retorted sharply, ”Enough, talking to me is pointless! You all know who was harmed by this!

Grandfather, haven’t you always preached fairness? But are you truly fair? Back before the third branch separated, they did the most work and got the least benefit!”
