Chapter 1693 - 1688: Mind Your Brother

Mu Qingqing sneered as she exposed Mrs. Lin’s scandalous deeds.

Mrs. Lin was frightened by her words, her face going pale as she repeatedly stepped back.

She nearly fell to the ground.

"Qingqing girl, you can’t tell your father about this! I... I was forced, it was that Zeng Niu, he forced me!" Mrs. Lin tried to soften up to Mu Qingqing.

"Qingqing girl, I am your own mother, you don’t want me to die, do you? If your father finds out, I truly won’t survive. You can’t just watch me die..." Mrs. Lin pleaded pitifully.

Mrs. Lin and Zeng Niu did indeed have an inappropriate relationship.

She and Zeng Niu were childhood sweethearts, mutually attracted.

But Zeng Niu’s family was too poor, with parents who were either foolish or simple-minded, no fields or land to their name, and Mrs. Lin was not one for hardship.

Playing around with Zeng Niu was fine, but truly becoming his wife and enduring hardships, she was unwilling.

When she casually heard that there was a scholar son in the Old Mu Family of Er Gui Village,

Mrs. Lin set her sights on the Old Mu Family.

However, Mrs. Jin beat her to the punch and climbed into Mu Dade’s bed.

This was one of the reasons why she never liked Mrs. Jin.

Mu Dade was taken, so she settled for the second best and went for Mu Dazhong.

At the very least, she was still the sister-in-law of a scholar. If Mu Dade truly ascended to great heights, she could also reap some benefits.

Unfortunately, over the years, too many things happened.

She didn’t gain any benefits, but instead toiled away in the Old Mu Family, living a life worse than pigs and dogs.

Zeng Niu, after she got married, also found himself a wife.

Due to his family’s poverty and inability to afford a dowry, the wife he found was also simple-minded.

To this day, she can’t even cook a meal, let alone understand social niceties.

Later, the two of them met again in Lin Family Village, and it’s unknown who started it.

What happened next followed naturally.

Before today, Mrs. Lin even believed no one would discover what she had done.

Who knew that these happenings would be known by the very daughter she looked down upon.

And today, this was even used to threaten her!

"Qingqing girl, say something..." Mu Qingqing remained silent, and Mrs. Lin became anxious.

"I’m not going to expose your past, but you can’t go to the Sun Family claiming you’re my mother! In the future, when you see me, you must pretend not to know me, or else you’ll regret it!" Mu Qingqing declared.

"You... you heartless girl, I painstakingly raised you, and you won’t even give me the slightest benefit?"

Mrs. Lin realized that this brat was speaking of her affair with Zeng Niu today because she planned to abandon her.

To live a good life on her own.

"Benefit? Clean up the mess on your behind first! Unless you want to be cast out by Mu Dazhong. Otherwise, don’t you dare provoke me!"

Mu Qingqing’s attitude was arrogant, and her tone was domineering.

She showed not the slightest respect or discretion in front of Mrs. Lin.

Her every word showed she didn’t regard Mrs. Lin at all.

Deep down, Mrs. Lin knew this daughter was unreliable.

But to not get a single penny, she couldn’t swallow this insult.

However one says it, this dead girl came from her belly, no reason to take nothing.

"Qingqing girl, mother can take nothing! But... but Gou Dan is your biological brother, you can’t ignore him!

Now you’re draped in gold and silver, dining on delicacies, while he doesn’t even have the right to attend school!

Qingqing girl, can’t you help your brother? For the sake of your blood relationship." Mrs. Lin pleaded.

"Doesn’t he have you to take care of him? Besides, the eldest brother is your eldest son, he doesn’t even care about Gou Dan, why should I?" Mu Qingqing retorted.

"I..."

"Enough, stop wasting words, I have matters to attend to, don’t waste my time!" Mu Qingqing said.

Mrs. Lin nearly spat blood from hearing her words.

But next, what almost made her really spit blood came again.

"I’m going to have a meal at Jiu Si Xuan now, you’re not allowed in!" Mu Qingqing declared.

"Qingqing girl, your father and Gou Dan are there, if I don’t go, your father..."

"Mu Dazhong would be more than happy! You eat a lot, if you don’t go, he can save quite a bit, do you think he cares?" Mu Qingqing sneered.

"Anyway, I’ve laid my cards on the table. If you forcibly enter Jiu Si Xuan, don’t blame me for calling Mu Dazhong out and exposing your scandals in front of everyone in the restaurant!

You know Mu Dazhong’s temper, if you make him lose face, he will surely want your life!"

Mu Qingqing threw the threat at Mrs. Lin with full force.

Mrs. Lin was furious and worried, especially since the biggest leverage was in Mu Qingqing’s hands.

No matter how Mrs. Lin reacted, Mu Qingqing turned and left the alley.

Mu Qingqing was not worried in the slightest that Mrs. Lin would dare to come after her, because this leverage was significant enough.

Her mother was a smart person; if she dared to forcefully break in, she would suffer the consequences on her own!

...

...

Mu Qingqing returned to the elegant room in Jiu Si Xuan, without a trace of embarrassment, her smile still bright.

Without needing much thought, it was clear she hadn’t suffered any loss at Mrs. Lin’s place.

Sun Wei originally wanted to kick her while she was down and mock her, but now nothing came into play.

He puckered his lips and said to Mu Qingqing, "What about that shrew?"

"She’s gone!" Mu Qingqing replied.

"She... she didn’t do anything to you?" Although he likely guessed, Sun Wei still wanted to hear from Mu Qingqing with his own ears that she was taught a harsh lesson.

"No! She was in the wrong, I reasoned with her a lot, and she left! She even said she would apologize to you!

I was afraid she’d offend your eyes, so I sent her away! Husband, leave such matters to me henceforth!" Mu Qingqing said in an understanding manner.

If not for what happened on the wedding day,

Such a Mu Qingqing would have certainly been appreciated by Sun Wei,

But unfortunately, that incident happened before, and Sun Wei, being a man, couldn’t ignore it.

"Such matters? How many more times do you expect me to encounter such incidents? Mu Qingqing, do you just not want to see me doing well? Are you hoping I’ll run into trouble so you can inherit our Sun family’s fortune?" Sun Wei questioned her.

Mu Qingqing’s breath hitched, a surge of anger rising from her feet to her head.

She couldn’t help but curse Sun Wei in her heart: Damn man! Always nitpicking her! Were it not for the Sun family’s meager fortune, she truly would not tolerate this nonsense!

Outwardly, Mu Qingqing still smiled at Sun Wei: "Husband, what are you saying? I obviously hope for your well-being!

But when dealing with people, it’s unavoidable to encounter scoundrels. If they’re men, you can naturally handle them, husband!

But if it’s these types who like to make scenes, even if you handle them, husband, I’m afraid you’d lose face, it’s better to hand it all to me, I guarantee to handle it properly without incident!"

Mu Qingqing’s demeanor was almost submissive.

Yet the more she acted like this, the more Sun Wei felt she was being insincere, she was hypocritical.

Everything she did was to please him!

Thus, he liked Mu Qingqing even less.
