Chapter 1734 - 1929: Shuangshuang, Save Your Eldest Uncle

"Shuangshuang, I apologize to you, I say sorry to you! Sorry to you, sorry to the third branch... Sorry to your father, your mother... Xiaohan... I’m begging you..."

Mr. Mu grabbed Mu Shuangshuang’s last straw.

Mu Shuangshuang didn’t know why she was being considered as someone who could save Mu Dade.

Not to mention, she could not.

Even if she could, she wouldn’t save him!

Mu Dade wanted to harm the third branch, wanted to sell them out.

If she let him off, that would be asking for trouble!

"Grandpa, I don’t know why you think I can save him, but honestly, I truly don’t have that ability! Yes, I know County Magistrate Zheng’s son, but he’s just a business partner! It doesn’t involve saving lives!

Grandpa, besides, it’s not just my uncle involved in this! My second uncle, my fifth uncle, my second aunt, they’re all part of the Old Mu Family!"

Mu Shuangshuang’s words carried a hint of accusing Mr. Mu of favoritism.

Previously, he said he didn’t care about the eldest anymore, wouldn’t help him.

But at a critical moment, what he still thought of was rescuing the eldest, rescuing Mu Dade.

Mr. Mu’s face turned increasingly pale.

Mr. Mu’s eyes wandered around, finally landing on Lu Yuanfeng not far from Mu Shuangshuang.

"Lu Family’s boy... Lu Family’s boy, you... you’ve been in the military camp, can you help me? I know you like Shuangshuang, if you are willing, I won’t oppose your engagement!"

Mr. Mu said.

Mr. Mu’s words did not recognize his own position at all.

Not to mention, Mu Shuangshuang was already separated.

Even if she wasn’t, her engagement was not something Mr. Mu could interfere with.

The person she wants to marry doesn’t need anyone’s approval!

She only needs to make herself happy!

Even her parents can’t interfere with her freedom in choosing a spouse.

"Mr. Lu, although I’ve been in the military, this matter is beyond my control. I don’t know anyone who can handle this!"

Besides, your most crucial task now is not to think about how to save people, but to take care of your health! As for Uncle Mu’s matter, if he hasn’t done anything wrong, the County Magistrate will release him in a few days!

But if he’s committed a crime, even the Emperor committing a crime would incur the same penalty as a commoner, no one can save him!" Lu Yuanfeng said.

He was rather polite to Mr. Mu.

Mr. Mu was close to tears and dared not speak.

This son of his certainly wasn’t the type who wouldn’t dare commit bad deeds.

Besides, Mrs. Jin selling Xiao Chu and Xiaxia was a fact!

"Oh heavens, what wrong did the Old Mu Family do, why suddenly all three sons are arrested..."

Heavens, take your wrath out on me, the old man will bear everything, just let them go!"

Mr. Mu shouted with tragedy.

Shouted with genuine emotion.

Old Mrs. Mu started sobbing along.

"What should we do? The eldest is in custody, the second is in custody, the fifth is in custody... There’s no one left at home to take charge!" Old Mrs. Mu cried.

"Grandpa, I’ll go get a doctor for you!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

"Shuangshuang... this house, we probably can’t stay anymore, can we go stay at your place?" Mr. Mu looked at Mu Shuangshuang with some expectation in his eyes.

Mu Shuangshuang was taken aback, then said, "Stay at my place? Grandpa, if you have nowhere to stay, I’ll open an inn for you!"

Mu Shuangshuang was not some saint.

The Old Mu Family had become like this, and Mr. Mu and Old Mrs. Mu still didn’t introspect.

One scolded her, and the other plotted against her.

She wasn’t that foolish!

"You wicked girl, the family is facing such a big trouble, and you... you’re so heartless, you’re not human!" Old Mrs. Mu pointed at Mu Shuangshuang’s nose and cursed.

"Mu Family, don’t cause trouble here! Shuangshuang has already left the Old Mu Family, she doesn’t have the obligation to help you! And at this point, you’re still causing internal strife! Do you know that if Uncle Mu is convicted, even you will be implicated?"

Lu Yuanfeng couldn’t bear Old Mrs. Mu’s casual nature in scolding people.

And besides, she was scolding Shuangshuang!

"Lu Family’s boy, you... what are you saying? We’ll be implicated too?" Mr. Mu froze.

"That’s right! As long as Uncle Mu’s matter is convicted, everyone in the Old Mu Family will be implicated!" Lu Yuanfeng said with a serious look.

Old Mrs. Mu stared at Lu Yuanfeng, her eyes red.

After a long while, he lowered his hand that had been straight up.

After a while, Mr. Mu began to wail, "What do we do now? Our Old Mu Family is probably finished this time! Probably finished..."

Old Mrs. Mu wiped her tears, "Old man, let’s run away!"

"Run? Run where? Without these children, it’s useless even if we die!" Mr. Mu said.

"We still have Xiangxiang, Xiangxiang will..."

"Rubbish! She can barely take care of herself, how could she take care of us?" Mr. Mu scolded angrily.

Old Mrs. Mu said nothing.

After a long while, Mr. Mu looked at Mu Shuangshuang again, "Shuangshuang, if this matter is truly tied to the Old Mu Family, then you... you can’t escape either. Could you consider helping your uncle for your own sake?" Mr. Mu said.

"Grandpa, the third branch was separated long ago!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

Then she sneered, "Grandpa, instead of thinking about how my uncle will come out, why not hope that he didn’t commit a crime! If he did, even praying to the highest deities won’t help!"

This last sentence completely destroyed Mr. Mu’s hope.

Mr. Mu lay on the bed motionlessly, his whole body seemed stiff.

"Big Cousin, Fengzi, let’s go!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

"You can’t leave, you can’t leave!" Old Mrs. Mu tried to stop Mu Shuangshuang.

Mu Shuangshuang pushed her away with one hand, "Grandma, you told me to leave before! I’m leaving now!"

Mrs. Liu also pulled Mu Dajiang, "We’re leaving too, Dad... take care?!"

"Old Four, you haven’t been separated, you can’t leave!" Mr. Mu called Mu Dajiang.

"Dad... Our fourth branch is willing to bear the responsibility that is ours! At worst, it’s just death!" Mu Dajiang said.

Without Xiao Chu, other matters were not as important.

"Oh heavens—" Mr. Mu screamed again and once more fainted.

Mu Shuangshuang and the group left the Old Mu Family, Mu Shuangshuang said to Mu Dajiang, "Fourth Uncle, you and your family are safe, don’t worry!"

Mu Dajiang’s eyes flickered, then he said to Mu Shuangshuang, "Thank you... thank you, Shuangshuang!"

"It’s nothing, this matter, others don’t know! It’s my uncle and Aunt’s fault! You guys go back first, I’ll inquire about the situation, and come find you when things settle!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

"Alright!" Mu Dajiang nodded.

Mu Xiaxia looked reluctantly at Mu Shuangshuang and then helped her parents walk away.
