Chapter 1586 - 1582: Are You Satisfied With This Outcome? (Second Update)

Mu Dade’s words left everyone in the hall stunned!

Everyone was dumbfounded, looking at Mu Dade, doubting their ears!

"Don’t look at me like that! What I said is the truth! When I married Jinyin’er... just like my mother said, she climbed into my bed, and we consummated our marriage!

As a man, I must take responsibility! All these years of marriage, she hasn’t given me a child to carry on the family name, yet out of gratitude for past feelings, I didn’t look for a concubine or take another wife, and remained loyal to her!

Even though she repeatedly disrespected my mother, I endured it! What I can’t tolerate is that vicious woman laid hands on Xiao Chu and Xiaxia!

Xiao Chu is my nephew, in my heart, he is like my own son! Although Xiaxia is not my biological child, and I haven’t given her much attention, she is still my niece!

We are truly blood relatives; so, in this matter, I’m siding with the fourth branch, siding with my fourth brother and sister-in-law!

This time, no matter what I say, I won’t let that woman off! I’ll definitely make her taste the pain of losing everything!

However... my fifth brother said something that truly resonated with me! In this life, I, Mu Dade, only have these two daughters!

Now the elder one is sixteen or seventeen, the younger one is fifteen or sixteen, in the countryside, they would have been married with children already!

But they’ve only just gotten engaged, given their age, they can’t withstand any more turmoil.

If there’s more trouble, and their mother’s affairs become public, they truly won’t be able to marry!

Mu Dade’s ’heartfelt revelations’ moved many in the hall to tears.

Mr. Mu covered his mouth, his eyes reddened considerably.

Old Mrs. Mu said nothing, but she wholeheartedly agreed with dismissing Mrs. Jin!

Mrs. Lin and Mu Dazhong were scared senseless by Mu Dajiang’s earlier outburst, they didn’t even dare breathe too heavily.

Mu Dade turned his gaze to Mu Dajiang, "Fourth brother, I’ve never begged anyone in my life! Big brother is asking you for this favor, let me divorce Mrs. Jin!

The fifty taels of silver she tricked out of you, I’ll return, and I’ll do my best to help find Xiao Chu. This matter... can we just settle it?"

"No way!" Mrs. Liu was somewhat emotional.

"Why just settle it like this? Xiao Chu hasn’t come back yet, and although Xiaxia has returned, how much pain was it for her? Should all this just be settled this easily?"

Mrs. Liu is only a woman; she doesn’t understand big theories.

She only knows she almost lost her daughter and her son still hasn’t been found.

If Shuangshuang hadn’t come back, she would still be a madwoman, mired in self-blame over her son’s disappearance.

Mrs. Liu vowed in her heart to have a life-and-death struggle with Mrs. Jin in this lifetime!

"Fourth brother’s wife, I know your suffering, and I know my request is somewhat excessive.

But I only have these two daughters, if you feel it’s not enough, you can kill me, just don’t make it harder on the two girls!"

Mu Dade was adept at manipulating people’s emotions, knowing that Mrs. Liu’s current reaction was due to losing her son and the sale of her daughter to a brothel.

Her essence was still good!

Good people can be softened, coaxed!

"Big brother you..." Mrs. Liu furrowed her brows.

In this lifetime, the third branch was never regarded seriously, especially by the first branch, who always acted superior.

Now, to gain respect from the first branch, it took such a large price.

Mrs. Liu felt like crying...

"Fourth brother’s wife, you can drive Jinyin’er out right now, I’ve prepared the divorce letter, you can humiliate her any way you want!

But once she’s out of this courtyard, please pretend you don’t know her and let her leave our Old Mu Family with her filthy heart. I’m begging you!"

Mu Dade administered a final blow, suddenly kneeling before Mrs. Liu. ’

This humility from Mu Dade prompted other members of the Old Mu Family to speak up in plea.

Mr. Mu: "Fourth brother’s wife, this is difficult for you! However you want to handle Mrs. Jin, I have no objections, but Dan and Ying are innocent!

Also, Big Brother, he seldom kneels even to his parents, and him kneeling to you today proves he’s truly remorseful!"

In an unusual turn, Old Mrs. Mu didn’t blame Mrs. Liu but instead advised her, "You might as well agree with Big Brother’s proposal, later we can peel that wretch’s skin, ruin her face, and let her die like a stray dog!"

Old Mrs. Mu is indeed a wicked mother-in-law; her words were chillingly venomous.

Mrs. Lin tugged at Mu Dazhong’s sleeve, prompting him to speak.

But how could Mu Dazhong dare, especially after a glance at Mu Danian lying on the ground like a neglected stray, he was even more cowardly.

Mu Dazhong didn’t dare speak, nor did Mrs. Lin, and Mu Danian, beaten as he was, certainly didn’t dare.

Everyone looked at Mrs. Liu, eager to know her thoughts.

After a long while, Mrs. Liu spoke, "I can do as Big Brother asks!

However, not only must she be divorced, but she is also forbidden from seeing Dan Dan and Yingying ever again. If I find out, I’ll cause havoc at Dan Dan and Yingying’s in-laws, making their homes a living hell until divorce!

Big Brother must help me find Xiao Chu, and must also find a reputable family for Xiaxia! No need for wealth, but good character is a must!

Additionally, Big Brother doesn’t owe us fifty taels of silver, but a hundred! The other fifty is from the sale of Xiao Chu, and it must be returned to the buyers!"

Mrs. Liu’s words were incredibly organized.

This woman who used to only dream of windfalls had quietly grown up.

She had become a shrewd woman who planned for the third branch’s future!

From now on, aside from the third branch, the fourth branch would hold no one else in regard!

Mu Dade’s expression froze momentarily at the mention of the other fifty taels by Mrs. Liu, but quickly returned to normal.

"Alright! I agree to every condition set by the fourth brother’s wife! I’ll go get the money right now!" Mu Dade said.

Mrs. Liu said nothing, obviously waiting for the hundred taels of silver.

Not long after, Mu Dade returned with a hundred taels of silver.

He handed the box of silver to Mrs. Liu, "This is a hundred taels, fourth brother’s wife, you can count it!"

Mrs. Liu ignored Mu Dade; she opened the box herself, taking out ten taels and giving them to Mr. Mu.

"Father, this is the loan you gave Xiaxia; it’s returned now!"

Mr. Mu accepted gladly, while other members of the Old Mu Family eyed the remaining ninety taels with envy.

Mu Dazhong, ignoring everything else, approached Mrs. Liu with a grin, "Fourth brother’s wife, where did you get this money... how come there’s suddenly dozens of taels?"
