Chapter 117 Battle of Mu Mansion
Rainy days make people lazy, and this early summer has been filled with drizzling rain. This year we are indeed not afraid of drought, and the farms are full of greenery.
Very lively.
Mu Chaoge stayed in the new yard, lying on a lounge chair under the porch and listening to the rain.
Uncle Cai came over quickly and said that there was news from the Mu family's spies, saying that the old lady had returned and was angry at the Mu family, scolding Mu Youcheng and Mu Qingzi, father and daughter, and saying that they had forced her granddaughter away.
Mu Chaoge immediately turned over and said, "What? Didn't I tell grandma not to pay attention to them? Why is she so angry? Hurry up and invite her back to the farm!"
Uncle Cai said helplessly: "The old lady said there is no hurry, but she insisted on settling accounts with the master. The Mu family is going to be in chaos."
Mu Chaoge endured it and didn't go over directly. He finally had a clear discussion with the Mu family and didn't want to have anything to do with them. "Uncle Cai, ask Brother Liang to go again and ask my grandmother to come over. Don't argue with them."
She was afraid that her grandmother would also be dragged into the original heroine's plot. If the original plot was followed, her grandmother would be so angry that she would die of illness. She couldn't let this happen.
Uncle Cai was also anxious, and seeing that the Third Miss looked so serious, he immediately did as she asked.
He went in a hurry.
Mu Chaoge was a little worried, and even the rainy day didn't feel pleasant anymore.
Nanny Zhou also heard the news and rushed over from the small kitchen, her hands covered in flour. "Oh, I heard the old lady is back? She's making a fuss in the mansion. What's going on? How about I go and take a look?"
Mu Chaoge looked at Nanny Zhou's anxious expression and remembered that she had a deep relationship with her grandmother, so it was normal for her to worry about her master.
"Don't worry, Ma'am. I'll ask Brother Liang to go and invite Grandmother back."
When Nanny Zhou heard this, she nodded her head, "It's better to come here. It's quiet here. This mansion is a mess, and the concubines in the backyard are fighting for favor and power. It's better to be comfortable here. In this case, we have to clean up the house!"
Mu Chaoge had reserved a side room for her grandmother before. She nodded immediately, "Yes, yes, yes. Mammy, go and spread out the bedding."
Nanny Zhou felt more at ease knowing that she had something to do, so she quickly responded.
However, Liang Yong did not bring good news. He said that the old lady refused to leave and was still arguing with Mr. Mu. Mr. Mu was really tough this time. He even quarreled with his old mother. The mother and son were fighting each other.
Mu Chaoge had no choice but to say, "How can my grandmother bear this? She is too old to get too emotional. Brother Liang, please take me there."
I have no choice but to go.
Besides, the old lady was speaking up for her granddaughter.
What should I do if I get sick from anger?
Liang Yong immediately agreed, and Du Juan and Xiao Taozi also hurried over to accompany him.
This time they couldn't let the young lady go back to the Mu Mansion alone. Both of them had psychological trauma and they had to accompany Mu Chaoge back together.
Mu Chaoge did not stop them. Last time she was worried that the two of them would be bullied by their scumbag father. Now her household registration book is with her uncle, and she has a group of guards with her. Her uncle and aunts are in Yongning City, and they can be called over with just a call.
She is no longer afraid of her scumbag father!!
The only thing I'm worried about is the traction of the original plot. I'm afraid that if I get too close to the heroine, I'll be pulled into the plot and then have to serve as a stepping stone for the heroine.
Mu Chaoge asked Uncle Cai to tell Nanny Zhou that they would not take her with them, and told her to just clean up the room and wait for them to come back at home.
Liang Yong drove the carriage over and helped the third young lady get on. Dujuan and Xiao Taozi also followed quickly. This kind of life deserves praise for being worth paving the way for!
When she got on the carriage, Mu Chaoge was clean and tidy except for her skirt which was slightly wet but not stained with any yellow mud.
After hurrying all the way, they finally arrived at the Mu family before noon, but the servants at the door stopped them from entering.
Mu Chaoge was amused. "If it wasn't urgent, would you think I was happy to come to you?!"
Liang Yong drew his sword and threatened directly. When the other party saw that there were eight or nine guards here, he hesitated, but was finally pushed away by the guards. Mu Chaoge just forced his way in.
He hurried along the way, heading straight for the main hall. The old lady must be there.
Many servants saw Mu Chaoge on the road, and they all looked as if they had seen a ghost.
"Oh my! Isn't this the Third Miss?! Why is she back?!"
"It looks like there's going to be something interesting to watch!"
"I heard that the Lu family chased her back to that shabby farm. She was said to be too embarrassed to come to the city. I hadn't seen her for a while, and I thought she had become poor. How come she didn't seem to have fallen into poverty, but instead seemed to have become richer?"
"The old lady is back. Isn't she coming back to show off her power because she has the old lady's support?"
The servants were extremely excited.
The other concubines also received the news, and each of them was wondering what Mu Chaoge meant.
What are you here for?
Although they didn't dare to interfere, they sent out a lot of spies.
Mu Chaoge took a quick look and knew which room the spies were just by listening to their inner voices.
Xiao Taozi was very angry when she heard this, "What a bunch of rotten things! How dare you gossip about your master behind his back!"
Du Juan looked at them coldly, and they lowered their heads repeatedly, not daring to look directly at her. "They are just those who look down on others. Don't pay any attention to them."
Of course Mu Chaoge didn't even look at these servants. Her main purpose was to find her grandmother.
Before I even reached the main courtyard, I could hear the noise coming from over there from a long distance away. The old lady's voice was full of energy and it seemed that she was fine for the time being.
"You, you still have the nerve to say that! You bullied my Ge'er right after I left! Do you hate her so much? Go ahead and bully her until she loses her mother!"
"This marriage should not have taken place in the first place! I am so sorry to Chaoge and Mei Niang!!"
Mu Youcheng also shouted, "You shouldn't protect your child this way! You should open your eyes and see what good things your good granddaughter has done!"
The old lady immediately retorted, "What good news? I only know that you, as a father, beat my daughter so hard that she was covered in wounds! You even locked her up with a dead body. How can you be such a father? Aren't you afraid of scaring the child? Aren't you afraid of Mei Niang looking for you in the middle of the night? Ask yourself, how do you behave as a father!"
Mu Youcheng was speechless after hearing this. He spoke for a long time, "Wangcai was still alive when he was thrown into the ancestral hall! He was beaten to death by the servants!"
He said he didn't mean to do it, he just wanted to make an example of her to scare this brave girl.
The old lady refused to agree, "Is that how you scare your daughter? What father would scare his daughter with this?! Just make it up! If you had your daughter in your heart, you wouldn't do this. Why don't you beat up Qingzi and lock her up with a dead person for a night? Can you bear to do that? It's because her mother is your sweetheart!"
Mu Youcheng was speechless again. He and Mu Qingzi's mother had a rift and he ignored both mother and daughter, but he would never lock Mu Qingzi up in the ancestral hall.
