Chapter 1674 - 1669: Interested in Xiaxia

"She’s gone to work as a maid for your owner!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

"A maid?" Liu Cai exclaimed in surprise, quickly realizing his loss of composure.

"Miss, sorry if I scared you! I’m just surprised. Xiaxia left in a hurry before and didn’t say what it was about.

Red Lady and I... we all miss her. Could you pass a message for us? Ask her to drop by if she has time!"

Liu Cai looked at Mu Shuangshuang eagerly.

Mu Shuangshuang didn’t need to think much to understand what Liu Cai meant.

This man probably has an interest in Mu Xiaxia.

He was too shy to say it, and since Xiaxia hadn’t been around, he couldn’t find a chance to speak with her, so he was counting on her.

Mu Shuangshuang scrutinized Liu Cai in front of her.

This guy was at most in his early twenties; his looks weren’t handsome but were decent enough.

As for his character, Mu Shuangshuang hadn’t spoken to him much to know, so she didn’t dare make any assumptions.

But this person is principled.

At least, he showed no trace of fear in front of someone like Mrs. Jin!

If his character isn’t bad, setting him up with Xiaxia could be good.

"I used to live in town and only came to the county recently, and I haven’t had a chance to see Xiaxia. How about this, I tell you where she lives, and you go visit her yourself?" Mu Shuangshuang asked.

She was willing to create the opportunity, but if it worked out, it would depend on what Liu Cai could do!

"You’re willing to tell me where Xiaxia lives?" Liu Cai looked excited.

"Uh-huh!"

"Thank you! Thank you, cousin!"

Liu Cai was so thrilled that he called Mu Shuangshuang "cousin" without thinking.

This left Mu Shuangshuang a bit confused.

But this made her think even more that Liu Cai really was interesting!

Mu Shuangshuang picked out the clothes she wanted, and Liu Cai gave her a decent discount.

He even escorted her out of the Red House and didn’t forget to tell Mu Shuangshuang, "Miss Shuangshuang, if you need more clothes in the future, come back here and bring Xiaxia, I’ll discuss with Red Lady to get you even more discounts!"

"Alright!"

Mu Shuangshuang nodded.

She turned and left the Red House.

Unintentionally, she ended up getting a good bargain. Originally, she just wanted to annoy Mrs. Jin; she didn’t expect to actually buy clothes.

Speaking of Mrs. Jin, Mu Shuangshuang thought of her twisted face again!

She wondered if that woman would be able to sleep tonight!

Perhaps, she’d go complaining to Mu Dade again!

That’d be better; she just wanted to force those two scoundrels to make a desperate move and slip up.

Mu Shuangshuang thought as she walked.

Unknowingly, she turned into an unfamiliar alley.

The alley seemed unfamiliar to her; just as she wanted to turn back, her path was blocked!

Mrs. Jin had brought several strong men, looking like she’d been waiting for Mu Shuangshuang for a long time.

She sneered at Mu Shuangshuang, "Stupid girl, with so many people attacking you today, I don’t believe you’ll leave here alive!"

Mrs. Jin hated Mu Shuangshuang deeply.

She didn’t mind using this stupid method to get rid of Mu Shuangshuang, just to quench the hatred in her heart!

Mu Shuangshuang turned to escape.

But the road ahead was also blocked.

Seeing Mu Shuangshuang’s panic, Mrs. Jin burst into wild laughter.

"Stupid girl, you think I’d let you walk out of this alley easily after I, Mrs. Jin, made my move? These are the fiercest ruffians I found in the county; they will teach you how to behave!"

After saying this, Mrs. Jin laughed madly.

That demeanor was somewhat deranged.

Mu Shuangshuang snorted and cursed, "Crazy bitch! No wonder my uncle would rather pick Ruan Xiao Jiao over you!"

"Nonsense! That woman forced Da De, claiming Da De chose her!" Mrs. Jin shouted angrily.

"Do you believe that yourself?" Mu Shuangshuang asked.

"Don’t you know what kind of person my uncle is? Would he be forced by a woman? It’s clear he approached and clung to Ruan Xiao Jiao like a fly.

He hoped to achieve wealth and rank through Ruan Xiao Jiao! Mrs. Jin, how can you be so stupid? They even went to the Capital behind your back, traveling and sightseeing, flaunting your identity, and you’re just indifferent?"

Mu Shuangshuang slowly drew out Mrs. Jin’s hatred from her heart.

The issue of having her identity replaced had always been a thorn in Mrs. Jin’s heart.

With Mu Shuangshuang mentioning it, she felt a lump in her throat!

"How... how do you know?" Mrs. Jin’s voice trembled.

"The day you were a beggar and begged your way back to Qingshan Town, Fengzi and I happened to see it! Would you call this fate?" Mu Shuangshuang asked with a smile.

"You..."

Mrs. Jin had begged just to get back to town from the county.

It was the greatest humiliation of her life!

She hadn’t told Mu Dade about it.

Even her mother didn’t know.

They only knew that her identity was replaced by Ruan Xiao Jiao, nothing more.

"Stupid girl, you think after saying these things, I would spare your life? I will make you wish you were dead!" Mrs. Jin shouted uncontrollably.

"My life is mine, not yours! Just a few small-time thugs, you think they can trap me?"

As Mu Shuangshuang spoke, she opened her bundle, took out the fabric wrapping the clothes, and rolled it into a makeshift rope, tying two knots at both ends.

Fortunately, Liu Cai generously gave her a meter of cloth earlier, otherwise, she would’ve had to use her new clothes to deal with these people.

These scum aren’t worthy!

"What are you all standing around for? Get her!" Mrs. Jin shouted at the men.

Those who were paid to deal with troubles charged at Mu Shuangshuang at Mrs. Jin’s command.

Mu Shuangshuang, holding the cloth rope, lashed it at the head of the nearest thug, leaving a bloody mark on his face.

Seeing this, the other thugs crazily lunged at her.

Dodging one attack after another, she managed to lash a few more thugs.

As Mu Shuangshuang said, these were indeed small-time thugs.

They couldn’t take a beating; after a few lashes, their faces were completely distorted beyond recognition.

By that point, those seriously injured wanted to flee.

After all, they only made a living by taking beatings for money.

If it cost them their lives, it wouldn’t be worth it!

"Boss, let’s run; this woman is too fierce, look at everyone’s faces; if we go home, our wives will definitely scold us!"

A thug suggested running away, and many agreed.

"Yeah, boss, let’s hurry and run!"

Mrs. Jin had never seen such a situation; she even doubted her ears.

"Aren’t you the toughest ruffians? I paid you five taels of silver, how... how can you not handle a woman?" Mrs. Jin shouted.

"You said we were ruffians, but you think we have integrity? Bros, let’s run—"
