Chapter 1744 - 1739: Join Me Against Mu Dade

"Two years? Aunt, why are you so na?ve? Do you think you can live for two years?" Mu Shuangshuang suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Jin was taken aback, her voice trembling slightly.

"You... what do you mean? You want to kill me?" Mrs. Jin backed up several steps, clutching the bars of the cell tightly, her eyes filled with fear.

She didn’t know why Mu Shuangshuang could enter the Heavenly Prison and disguise herself as a government official.

But her sudden visit must mean something!

"Me kill you? Why would I want to do that?" Mu Shuangshuang asked with a smile.

"You hate me, hate me for going against the fourth branch, hate me for trying to sell you off, hate me..."

"Wrong!" Mu Shuangshuang interrupted Mrs. Jin.

"All wrong! The one who wants you dead isn’t me, it’s Mu Dade!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

Upon hearing her husband’s name, Mrs. Jin’s pupils suddenly contracted, then she shook her head, "Little girl, what are you plotting? I tell you, stop trying to sow discord here, I won’t believe you!"

"Aunt, how can you be so na?ve, really thinking you could bear this burden alone, although you were the one who did this.

But my older uncle isn’t a clean man, right? He must have given you ideas or even contacted people for you, didn’t he?" Mu Shuangshuang asked.

Everything she said hit the mark.

It was indeed so.

Mu Dade also partook initially, but ultimately, only Mrs. Jin bore the consequences.

"Even so, it doesn’t prove... prove..." Mrs. Jin said.

"Doesn’t prove my uncle wants to kill you?" Mu Shuangshuang asked.

Mrs. Jin fell silent, but that was indeed her meaning.

"I called you foolish, yet you didn’t believe me! My uncle doesn’t care about you. If he did, why would he let a woman like you bear all this responsibility?

Don’t use Mu Dandan and Mu Yingying as reasons; they are also his daughters. There’s no reason for you to sacrifice alone!

Everything he’s done is solely to discard you and be with Ruan Xiao Jiao!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

These words struck at Mrs. Jin’s heart.

Her husband seemed to genuinely love and favor the two daughters.

But after all, girls don’t compare to sons in Mu Dade’s heart.

No, why is this girl telling me these things?

Mrs. Jin looked at Mu Shuangshuang warily, "What are you here for? You... you leave!"

Mrs. Jin felt Mu Shuangshuang came prepared, likely to say something unpleasant.

"I’m just here to see Aunt, perhaps to see how miserable she is! After all, Second Aunt once wholeheartedly wanted to eliminate everyone in our third branch!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

"I knew you weren’t up to any good! Get lost, get out!" Mrs. Jin shouted angrily.

"Aunt, I told you! For these two years, you must be careful at every moment. My uncle won’t allow himself a wife who’s been imprisoned.

Moreover, you know so many of his secrets, sooner or later, he’ll find a way to silence you forever!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

"Nonsense! I won’t believe you!" Mrs. Jin said.

"Believe it or not! I know you and Mu Dade made a deal about Ruan Xiao Jiao’s child?" Mu Shuangshuang said.

Mrs. Jin didn’t respond, but her eyes did shift—this matter...

"It involves Ruan Xiao Jiao!?" Mu Shuangshuang continued to ask.

Ruan Xiao Jiao’s gaze suddenly turned vicious, but quickly returned to normal.

"So it indeed involves Ruan Xiao Jiao! You made a deal with Mu Dade, he promises to provide for your two daughters comfortably, and after Ruan Xiao Jiao gave birth, he would kill her!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

Just as her words fell, Mrs. Jin’s face turned a sickly white.

Her eyes showed the anxiety of having her secret uncovered.

Her breath was unsteady, enough to confirm Mu Shuangshuang’s guesswork was spot on!

"Ha ha ha, Aunt, you’re truly a fool! Actually believing Mu Dade would kill Ruan Xiao Jiao!" Mu Shuangshuang shook her head helplessly.

"Ruan Xiao Jiao is Mu Dade’s cash cow, the County Magistrate listens to her. As long as she’s around, he’ll enjoy an endless life of lavish wealth.

Do you think he’ll cut off this cash cow for you?" Mu Shuangshuang’s lips curled with mockery.

This mockery deeply wounded Mrs. Jin’s eyes.

"No, it’s not like that! He promised me, once Ruan Xiao Jiao gave birth, he’d kill her, if he doesn’t kill her he’s lying to me! It’s breaking his promise, I..."

Mrs. Jin exclaimed, suddenly realizing something.

She’s lost her freedom.

What she says, apart from these prison guards, no one would hear.

Her cries of injustice won’t reach the County Magistrate.

Because, in the prison, many people are Ruan Xiao Jiao’s.

Would she let them kill her?

The more she thought, the more frightened Mrs. Jin became.

"No... not like this! Not..." Mrs. Jin held her head and shook it violently.

"Aunt, wake up! Aren’t you afraid of Ruan Xiao Jiao and my uncle conspiring to take your life at any moment? Aren’t you afraid you’ll never wake up once you fall asleep? He won’t let you go!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

"No... not..." Mrs. Jin still refused to admit.

Mu Shuangshuang no longer persuaded her, "Aunt, since that’s your choice, I won’t say much more. I hope you survive the next two years, and emerge from this prison to continue as the County Chief Clerk’s Wife!"

Having said this, Mu Shuangshuang turned and left.

"Don’t, don’t go..." Mrs. Jin suddenly called after Mu Shuangshuang.

Mu Shuangshuang paused, turning to face Mrs. Jin, "Have you decided to cooperate with me?"

"Yes! But I want my two daughters provided for, I know you can do it!" Mrs. Jin said.

In the end, what Mrs. Jin wants is still the welfare of her two daughters.

Mu Shuangshuang felt a bit of irony.

Her daughters are human, yet other people’s children are not?

"I can offer you a choice, once you opt to cooperate with me, the ending won’t be much better for you either!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

She couldn’t possibly spare Mrs. Jin.

Absolutely not!

"I know, I’ve done so many bad things, there’s no escaping it! I only hope my two daughters are okay, as for the rest, with Mu Dade with me, I’m not afraid!" Mrs. Jin said fiercely.

How she, Jinyin’er, lived more than half her life, only to eventually be trapped by a man.

That man, for whom she once sacrificed her entire youth, even bearing him two children.

But in the end, it was all for nothing.

He never cared for her, and when anything threatened his position, the first one to be pushed out was her!

"No problem!" Mu Shuangshuang said. "But, regarding specifics, follow my instructions!"

"As long as it takes down that beast, I’ll do anything!"

And that woman, the one who stole her man, she wouldn’t spare her either!

"Mu Dade is yours, no problem!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

"Go see how Second Aunt and Fifth are doing! Their fate isn’t much better right now!" Mrs. Jin said.
