Chapter 1746 - 1741: Still Living in a Dream (Second Update)

"Shuangshuang..."

"Shuangshuang, please save us!"

Mu Dazhong and Mu Danian spoke, each more pitiful than the other.

Upon hearing this, Mu Shuangshuang felt a slight stir in her heart.

If these two had not been greedy for money and followed Mu Dade back then, they wouldn’t have ended up as prisoners now.

"I don’t have the ability to save you! After all, you indeed did bad things! But, I can clear the crimes that don’t belong to you!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

She referred to Mu Dade’s past acts of abusing power for personal gain.

Mu Dazhong and Mu Danian only had the opportunity to stretch their hands when Mu Dade was busy preparing for his daughter Mu Dandan’s wedding.

Although, in essence, there was no difference, clearing their names could result in a few years less of a sentence.

"How do you plan to clear them?" Mu Danian’s face twitched with excitement.

He thought that if Mu Shuangshuang helped him clear the things he didn’t do, he would be fine.

"Naturally, whoever did it has to take responsibility!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

"You mean the big brother? Impossible, he’s already out, how could he come back! At most... at most he might get us out!" Mu Dazhong said.

Upon hearing his second uncle’s naive words, Mu Shuangshuang couldn’t help but say, "Get you out? Him, Mu Dade? Stop dreaming, this case is personally overseen by the County Magistrate. If he had the capability, he wouldn’t let Mrs. Jin take the fall for everything!

I’m just here to remind you, treasure your days in the prison, for you never know when the eldest might have someone drug you..."

Mu Shuangshuang didn’t finish her sentence, leaving Mu Dazhong and Mu Danian to ponder for themselves.

The two trembled uncontrollably in fear.

"No... it can’t be, I don’t believe it!" Mu Dazhong said.

However, his words clearly lacked confidence, even he didn’t believe it!

Especially now, there was no news from Mrs. Lin, and they didn’t know what was going on.

"Second Uncle, Fifth Uncle, if you know of any evidence of my big brother’s abuse of power and corruption, tell me, I’ll search for it myself! If I find it, you’ll feel better!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

Currently, Mu Shuangshuang is gathering evidence from all sides.

What Mu Dade deserves, he should bear himself.

By then, Mrs. Jin can testify against him.

Once Mu Dade is imprisoned, Taohua will be released.

The last person Mu Shuangshuang faced wasn’t really Mu Dade, but Ruan Xiao Jiao.

This woman’s skills were formidable, even if something was black, if she said it, it might turn white.

"We don’t know anything! Back when we first went to the docks, Fifth and I were just doing odd jobs!" Mu Dazhong said.

"Yes, every time the big brother did something, he was extremely secretive! To this day, we don’t know whom he let go or what backdoors he opened.

We are clear about what we did ourselves and know which family it belongs to!" Mu Danian said.

Being a dock steward was indeed a lucrative position.

In just over ten days, Mu Dazhong and Mu Danian each earned no less than five hundred taels.

If not for being caught by Mrs. Jin, they would be living in luxury now.

If it was like this for them, Mu Dade naturally had earned more.

"It seems, I still need to go to the docks and investigate myself!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

Both Mu Dazhong and Mu Danian were unreliable, following Mu Dade all this time without leaving any leverage.

"Shuangshuang, when will you come to get us out? If not, at least get us something to eat, I’m tired of those spoiled meals every day!"

Mu Dazhong still looked as if he would die without eating.

Mu Danian stayed silent, more concerned about when he would get out.

"Whether you can bear it or not, you have to bear it. Who told you to do such shameless things back then?" Mu Shuangshuang said.

"You..."

"Second Brother, don’t speak!" Mu Danian interrupted Mu Dazhong.

He turned to Mu Shuangshuang and said, "Shuangshuang, can you help me find someone?"

"Qin Xianglan?" Mu Shuangshuang asked.

"Yes!" Mu Danian nodded, "We agreed to leave together, but I was caught by that woman Mrs. Jin, and that woman took all my money and left!"

"Don’t say anymore, I’m now suspicious that our escape was orchestrated by that woman!" Mu Dazhong, with his yellow teeth, almost gritted his teeth to bits.

Only four people knew about this matter.

Mu Dazhong, Mu Danian, Mrs. Lin, and Qin Xianglan.

Mu Dazhong and Mrs. Lin were guarding their money under their beds all night, for fear of something happening.

Mu Danian also didn’t leave himself, only Qin Xianglan went out once.

She also mentioned encountering Mrs. Jin.

Therefore, she was the most suspicious!

"What if she has already left the county, what should we do?" Mu Shuangshuang asked.

"No, from what I know of that woman, she must still be in the county!" Mu Danian said.

He even thought that the seed in that woman’s belly might not be his.

After all, they only had that one time.

Afterward, no matter what, that woman didn’t let him touch her.

The more Mu Danian thought about it, the more he felt something was off.

But if the child wasn’t his, whose could it be?

Mu Danian couldn’t figure it out at all.

At this time, Mu Dazhong spoke, "Fifth, I’ve seen that woman with big brother before!"

"What did you say?" Mu Danian was stunned!

"I said that woman was with big brother before!" Mu Dazhong repeated.

This time, Mu Danian was dumbfounded.

A feeling of humiliation arose within him.

He remembered seeing his big brother and that Qin Xianglan entering the main gate one after the other several times.

Even though they were separated by some distance, he always felt there was something between them.

Sometimes, even in broad daylight, the two would enter with less than the time it takes a stick of incense to burn between them.

"Oh my god, I’ve been had. The seed in that woman’s belly isn’t mine!" Mu Danian shouted.

Hearing this, Mu Shuangshuang’s mouth twitched.

The situation was indeed tangled.

However, if Qin Xianglan was indeed pregnant, it wasn’t impossible that the child was Mu Dade’s.

After all, their affair was almost confirmed.

The day before Mu Dandan’s wedding, they saw Mu Dade and Qin Xianglan at the Old Mu Family’s courtyard gate.

Mu Dalang even said their scents were the same - wasn’t that the scent left after doing such a thing?

"Oh my god, I’m going to kill that woman! Stealing money, deceiving people, she... she..." The more Mu Danian thought about it, the angrier he got, now he just wanted to tear Qin Xianglan apart.

Mu Shuangshuang didn’t have much time and was uninterested in listening to them argue.

She left while the two were still cursing Qin Xianglan.

By the time Mu Dazhong and Mu Danian realized, she was already gone.

The government official guarding the cell changed again, and this time it was someone they knew, but the guard was fiercely intimidating!

...

...

Mu Shuangshuang came out of the Heavenly Prison, her lips slightly upturned.

After hearing so much gossip, she felt increasingly confident in dealing with Mu Dade!

Mu Shuangshuang looked up and saw Lu Yuanfeng waiting for her at the gate of the Heavenly Prison.
