Chapter 1742 - 1737: Mu Dade Is Released

In Mu Dade’s study, Mrs. Lin’s eyes were red, and she was eager to tear Mu Dade apart.

"You must find a way to rescue my husband and Fifth! Otherwise, you will regret it!"

Mrs. Lin was as brainless as ever.

Mu Dade glanced up at Mrs. Lin and sneered, "Who do you think you are to flaunt yourself in front of me?"

"Mu Dade, don’t think I, a mere woman, know nothing! The matter at the dock, you framed my husband and Fifth. Aren’t you afraid I’ll report you?" Mrs. Lin said.

"Go ahead. Just as well, I also want to see whether the County Magistrate will listen to you, a woman, or me!" Mu Dade said.

"Of course he will listen to me!" Mrs. Lin said.

She was still holding Mu Dade’s secret in her hand.

If it were exposed, the County Magistrate might not know whom to trust!

"Second sister-in-law, where do you get the courage to say such things? I, Mu Dade, survived against the odds. Do you think I fear you reporting me? If you had any skill, you wouldn’t be caught in prison by the County Magistrate, unable to get out now!" Mu Dade said.

This statement hit Mrs. Lin’s sore spot.

Mrs. Lin was so furious she jumped.

"It’s all because you’re not even human! You think you’re so capable, do you not know how you got your scholar title?" Mrs. Lin blurted out.

In a careless moment, she revealed the secret Mu Danian had told her.

Mu Dade suddenly stood up and pointed at Mrs. Lin, shouting: "What do you mean? What do you mean by how my scholar title came about? What do you know?"

Mrs. Lin was stunned.

Mu Dade was always amiable with family, never seen cursing anyone at home.

But now, his aura was fully unleashed, not something a woman like Mrs. Lin could withstand.

Mrs. Lin was pressed to gasp for air, retreating repeatedly.

"I didn’t say anything, I didn’t..."

"Nonsense! Someone, grab this woman!" Mu Dade yelled, and the servants and attendants rushed forward to seize Mrs. Lin.

Mrs. Lin was dumbfounded.

"Big brother, don’t... I’m the sister-in-law, I..."

"From now on, you’re not!" Mu Dade sneered.

"What do you mean?" Mrs. Lin looked confused.

"I’ll tell our parents to divorce you on behalf of the second brother! From now on, you’re not part of the Old Mu Family, and you can’t live in the Old Mu Family!" Mu Dade said.

"No... Big brother, don’t! I’m Dazhong’s wife, Gou Dan’s mother! I... I’ve given birth to a son!" Mrs. Lin looked panicked.

"Giving birth doesn’t prevent divorce? The seven grounds for divorce include too much chatter; sister-in-law talked too much today, which is enough to divorce you!" Mu Dade said.

"No... I didn’t say that, it wasn’t me!" Mrs. Lin shouted loudly to defend herself.

"It wasn’t you, then who?" Mu Dade asked sternly.

He wanted to see who dared to speak about how he got his scholar title!

"No one! No one..." Mrs. Lin shook her head.

"Not willing to say? Then I’ll kick you out of the Old Mu Family right now!" Mu Dade said.

The attendants pressed Mrs. Lin, heading towards the door.

Mrs. Lin had no choice but to tell the truth.

"It was Fifth, Fifth told me!" Mrs. Lin said.

"Fifth?" Mu Dade was surprised, then continued to ask, "How did he tell you?"

"He said the scholar title was bought with exam questions! And said to tell you, if... if you don’t release them, they’ll tell the County Magistrate, preventing you from becoming a county magistrate!" Mrs. Lin said.

After hearing, Mu Dade squinted his eyes.

He actually knows!

Given this, he wouldn’t be blamed for being ruthless!

"Someone, sell this woman!" Mu Dade said.

"Sell... sell her!?" Mrs. Lin was stunned.

"That’s right, sell to traffickers! But rest assured, unlike Jinyin’er, where things got discovered, I’ll sell you far away, to those bachelors without wives, you’ll have no chance to rise for the rest of your life!" Mu Dade said.

As he spoke, a flash of viciousness crossed his eyes.

Originally, he didn’t want to act against Mrs. Lin, just drive her out.

Now, knowing his secret, he can’t keep her.

"Mu Dade, you... you’ll have a bad death! When Daddy Gou Dan gets out, he won’t spare you!" Mrs. Lin screamed.

"Gag her mouth!" Mu Dade instructed the attendants.

The attendants obeyed.

They found a cloth, stuffed it into Mrs. Lin’s mouth, and then found a sack to shove Mrs. Lin into.

In doing this, Mu Dade didn’t plan to ask other family members of the Old Mu Family for permission.

Anyway, no one would know about this matter.

Henceforth, Mrs. Lin would not appear before him.

...

...

County town, Mu Shuangshuang’s residence.

In Shuangshuang’s house today, besides Xing Beichen and Fu Xiaonan, there was also the fourth household.

They were there regarding Mu Dade’s release, and for news of Xiao Chu.

Mu Xiaxia spoke to Mu Shuangshuang: "We already know about Uncle’s affair! Although there’s some reluctance, at least Aunt was punished!"

"However, I came today for an even more important matter!" Mu Xiaxia said.

"What matter?" Mu Shuangshuang asked.

"There’s news about Xiao Chu!" Mu Xiaxia said.

"Really?" Mu Shuangshuang’s eyes showed some joy.

"Yes! The master said he appeared once in Yunzhou, but then the news broke off! But this is the only useful clue we’ve had for so long! My father and mother, we’re planning to go to Yunzhou to find brother Xiao Chu!" Mu Xiaxia said.

"You’re going to Yunzhou? That place is quite far from here!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

She knew Yunzhou, having passed through it when coming back from the Northwest.

"Yes! As long as there’s a chance to find Xiao Chu, our family will spare no expense!" Mu Xiaxia said.

Mu Dajiang also spoke, "Yes, as long as we can find Xiao Chu, even if it’s climbing the mountain of knives, descending into volcanoes, we’re willing!"

"How do you plan to go?" Mu Shuangshuang asked.

"By carriage! We can only take a carriage there!" Mu Xiaxia replied.

"By carriage?"

Yunzhou is far from here, traveling by carriage would be ten days slower than riding a horse.

Ten days is enough time for many changes.

Mu Shuangshuang glanced at Lu Yuanfeng, wanting to hear his opinion.

"Carriage definitely won’t work, it’s too slow!" Lu Yuanfeng said.

"I can help make a quick trip!" Xing Beichen said.

"I can ride a horse, and it’ll only take three days at a gallop to get to Yunzhou!" Xing Beichen said.

"But aren’t you accompanying Miss Xiao Nan?" Mu Xiaxia hesitated.

"Indeed, but Xiao Nan will understand, after all, Xiao Chu’s matter is important!" Xing Beichen said.

"Beichen, you focus on the journey, I’ll take care of Xiao Nan here!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

"Then I’ll trouble you! I’ll be back in ten days tops, during this time, you must monitor Mu Dade closely, don’t let him escape!" Xing Beichen said.
