Chapter 1745 - 1740: Visiting Mu Dazhong and Mu Danian in Prison (First Update)

When Mrs. Jin mentioned Mu Dazhong and Mu Danian, there was still hatred in her eyes.

She didn’t think sending these two to the prison was wrong at all; in fact, just like before, she felt they deserved it.

However, she always wanted Mu Shuangshuang to go see how miserable Mu Dazhong and Mu Danian were!

"Fine! I’ll go see them right now!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

As heavy criminals, Mu Dazhong and Mu Danian were not locked up together with Mrs. Jin.

The place they stayed in was called the death cell; if not for the government officials in the prison, not even a fly would be able to get in there.

Mu Shuangshuang appeared outside the cell where Mu Dazhong and Mu Danian were locked.

Through the bars, she saw Mu Dazhong, filthy from head to toe, hair hanging loose.

And Mu Danian, who was clutching the bars tightly, trembling all over.

In this cell where there was no light of day, life had finally tortured these two bastards into something less than human!

Mu Shuangshuang whispered in her heart: Serves you right!

She reached out and knocked on the bars.

Hearing the sound, Mu Dazhong and Mu Danian both looked up, but they didn’t seem to recognize Mu Shuangshuang.

Mu Dazhong, fawning like a bootlicker, came forward. "Sir officer, when do we eat? I’m starving to death! The food in this cell really isn’t for humans, it’s all gone sour!"

Mu Dazhong’s habit of complaining regardless of time, place, or who he was talking to made Mu Shuangshuang’s mouth twitch.

Mu Danian was a tiny bit smarter than Mu Dazhong; he asked, "Officer brother, when can we be released? Did the County Magistrate say anything about us not needing to stay in prison?"

Mu Dazhong and Mu Danian both looked at Mu Shuangshuang with hopeful faces.

Mu Shuangshuang lightly coughed and said to Mu Dazhong and Mu Danian, "Second Uncle, Fifth Uncle, who are you calling ’officer brother’?"

"You... you damn girl, how is it you?" Mu Dazhong shouted in shock.

Mu Danian’s face was also full of disappointment.

They really didn’t want to see Mu Shuangshuang.

"Why can’t it be me? Or do Second Uncle and Fifth Uncle want to see the officer who’s going to chop off your heads?" Mu Shuangshuang asked with a grin.

"You... you’re talking nonsense!" Mu Dazhong jumped in anger.

Mu Danian also looked like he wanted to eat someone alive.

Well then, after all this time in prison, they still hadn’t learned their lesson.

Looked like the County Magistrate had been quite merciful to them.

"Oh my, such a temper. Seems like this prison has been pretty comfortable for you!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

"You... what are you here for?" Mu Danian asked.

"To see you, of course! I heard the County Magistrate interrogated you for seven or eight days straight. I don’t know what crimes he convicted you of, so I came to find out, so I can go back and tell the villagers all about it!"

Mu Shuangshuang spoke while smiling.

She looked every inch like someone who came just to gloat.

But she really wasn’t some kindhearted saint; with all the evil her Second Uncle and Fifth Uncle had done, prison was the best place for them!

"You... how can your little girl’s heart be so vicious? I... once I get out, just see if I don’t teach you a lesson!" Mu Dazhong said.

He sounded a bit weak, just like he said himself, so hungry his hands and feet were weak.

"Save it for when you get out! The charges on you two aren’t light—abusing power for personal gain, conniving at smuggling. The County Magistrate has listed these as serious crimes. I’d say you’ll probably spend the rest of your lives in prison!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

"Hmph, you think the two of us will be locked up forever? I’ll tell you the truth, we already know Big Brother’s out. We still have something on him; we can get out anytime we want!" Mu Dazhong said smugly.

Mu Shuangshuang finally understood why this man had been in prison so long and still hadn’t come to his senses—turns out he was still thinking of relying on Mu Dade to get out.

Truly naive!

"Let me guess, you probably told my Second Aunt this little secret—that my Eldest Uncle bought the exam questions and bought his way to becoming a scholar!"

Mu Shuangshuang did know about this.

However, she had never used it.

Because there was no evidence at all; moreover, so much time had passed. Even if she announced it to the whole world, she might not be able to pull Mu Dade down and might even get bitten back by him.

"You... how do you know?" Mu Dazhong was stunned.

"I was the one who told her!" Mu Danian said.

Although a bit unwilling, it was indeed something he had said.

"Fifth, you’re muddleheaded, you are! How could you... how could you..."

Before Mu Dazhong could finish, Mu Shuangshuang cut him off directly.

"Enough, Second Uncle, stop waving a chicken feather like it’s an imperial decree! This so-called leverage of yours—if you don’t say it, fine; once you do, my Second Aunt might be the one in danger!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

Speaking of Second Aunt, Mu Shuangshuang suddenly remembered that she hadn’t seen her for several days.

By rights, with such a big incident happening in the Old Mu Family, she couldn’t possibly be so quiet.

Could it be, just like her crow’s mouth had said, that her Eldest Uncle had really...

The sentence Mu Shuangshuang tossed out casually left Mu Dazhong dumbfounded.

He shouted to Mu Danian, who was in the cell next to his, "Danian, your Second Sister-in-law’s been gone for two-three days now, hasn’t she? What did we say back then? Didn’t we tell her to go find Big Brother as soon as she got out?"

Mu Danian said nothing, which was as good as admitting it.

"Heavens, could that woman really have been... by Big Brother..." The more Mu Dazhong thought about it, the more frightened he became.

If that woman was really gone, who was going to get them out?

They were done for, completely done for!

"Shuangshuang, I’m your Second Uncle; even writing, our names share the same Mu. We’re relatives, we share the same blood. Do you remember when you were just a tiny thing, and someone in the village bullied you, and Second Uncle saved you?" Mu Dazhong started playing the family card.

But Mu Shuangshuang had not the slightest impression of what he was talking about.

And based on what she knew of Mu Dazhong, if there was any danger, he’d be the first to run.

"Second Uncle, trying to tug on my feelings won’t work on me; I can’t save you!"

Mu Shuangshuang laid it out plainly.

Mu Dazhong looked like he was about to cry. "How can you not save me? Didn’t you already get in here? Just get me and your Fifth Uncle a set of clothes like yours and take us out with you!"

Mu Danian added, "Shuangshuang, just for your father’s sake, take us with you! The life we’re living here really isn’t fit for pigs or dogs.

The food we get every day is sour. If this goes on, we’ll die! Save us!"

"Second Uncle, Fifth Uncle, if you hadn’t done anything wrong, even if our relationship isn’t that good, I’d still save you. But the problem is, you did do bad things.

If I secretly take you away, do you know what you’d be then? Prison breakers! If you’re caught, it’ll be a heavy sentence! And it’ll implicate your families. Second Uncle, don’t you want Gou Dan to sit for the scholar exam in the future?

Fifth Uncle, your future sons won’t be able to go to school either," Mu Shuangshuang said.

With just a few words, she snuffed out their thoughts of escape.

Only, the two of them were still afraid of dying.

"Shuangshuang, if we don’t run, we’re just waiting to die!" Mu Dazhong said.

"Exactly, I, your Fifth Uncle, haven’t even married or had children yet! I can’t end up with no heirs, can I?" Mu Danian’s face was ashen.

Only now did the two of them finally realize that they were in prison, not fooling around in a vegetable patch!
