      However, Lu Jinfeng was currently in a miserable state and his face was covered with so much mud. Even if he was in a bad mood, no one would be able to see that his expression was not good.

      Cousin, you're too careless. The mud by the river is soft and slippery, and if you're not careful you'll slip into the river. Fortunately, you only fell down; what would you do if you fell into the river?

      Lu Jinfeng did not say a word, his calm eyes sweeping past her indifferently.

      Inexplicably, Lin Qiu'er felt that the expression in her eyes was like a knife stabbing towards her, so cold that it caused one's heart to palpitate. Her mind swayed, and she could not help but take half a step back. When she looked at Lu Jinfeng again, his expression was indifferent, without a trace of dissatisfaction.

      That's right, her actions were so quick, that even she herself did not see what she had caused, how could Lu Jinfeng have been so foolish?

      Moreover, in his eyes, she had always been obedient and sensible. She would never do something that would push him down.

      As Lin Qiu'er thought of this, her mind became calm once more. Lu Jinfeng had been silent the entire time, so she took the initiative to hold Lu Jinfeng's arm: Cousin brother, your clothes are all dirty, why don't you take it off so that I can wash it for you?

      Lu Jinfeng shook his head: No need to go through so much trouble, I'll just go back and change into a clean set of clothes.

      But, we're pretty much done with the fish. If we leave now, won't all our efforts go down the drain? Lin Qiu'er rolled her eyes, as if she was racking her brains to consider him. She suggested, How about I take your dirty clothes back home and bring you a fresh set of clean clothes? Cousin, your skills are better than mine, and the value of staying here is higher than mine.

      He was covered in filth. If Lin Qiu'er had truly treated him like that, she would definitely not have told him to stay and watch the fish. Instead, she would have told him to go back and change.

      Even with such an obvious flaw, she still thought that her strategy was extremely brilliant.

      Lu Jinfeng's eyes flashed a look of ridicule, the corners of his mouth could not help but twitch, he muttered: What you said is reasonable, the fish is about to hook up, if I were to leave now, all the thought that I spent in the beginning would be wasted, I might as well stay and wait till I catch a fish before leaving.

      Did he agree with his suggestion? A trace of happiness appeared on Lin Qiu'er's face.

      Before he could be happy, he heard Lu Jinfeng say again, "There's still a bit of a distance from here to my house. Cousin sister, running here and there must be a lot of work for you, so I won't let you come on this trip.

      To be able to stay with Lu Jinfeng and go back with him, was Lu Jinfeng's own suggestion. Lin Qiu'er could not be happier, and hurriedly replied: Thank you for cousin's concern, but cousin's heart still dotes on me.

      After a pause, he changed the topic and said hesitantly, But cousin, I don't want you to be scared while wearing that kind of clothes. Why don't you take off your clothes and I'll help you wash up before you go back to change?

      This … Lu Jinfeng frowned.

      In broad daylight, a girl actually dared to say such words and ask him to take off his clothes. Was he not afraid of being sprayed with water?

      Seeming to have noticed Lu Jinfeng's doubt, Lin Qiu'er smiled slightly and said: Cousin brother, don't be too conflicted. You are a man in the first place, so even if you were naked, no one would talk about it. Compared to my body, I don't need to care about my reputation at all.

      As she spoke, she acted like she was bewitched, walking closer and closer to Lu Jinfeng, her voice soft and pleasant: Cousin brother, let me help you.

      She spoke with a serious face, Lu Jinfeng also felt that what she said was reasonable. After struggling for a while, he went into the water to wash his face, then took off his clothes and gave them to Lin Qiu'er.

      Then I'll be troubling cousin.

      The youth was now sixteen to seventeen years old and had a tall and good appearance. Because he had been practicing martial arts for the past month, his arms were like beehive, broad shoulders, narrow buttocks, and a perfect figure. There wasn't even a trace of fat on his body.

      As far as Lin Qiu'er's eyes could see, two bright red clouds flew up on her cheeks. Her throat was tight and her mouth was dry. She couldn't help but swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva, and her gaze was fixated there.

      Only now did she know that in this world, not only were women bewitchingly enchanting, men's bodies were also difficult to defend.

      Cousin? Lu Jinfeng saw that her eyes were glazed, and her saliva was about to fall down, and her face was black.

      Oh, it's not troublesome. It's only right. Only now did Lin Qiu'er come back to her senses. She felt her mind flutter, and she was barely able to catch Lu Jinfeng's gaze as her face flushed completely red.

      He was afraid that Lu Jinfeng would see through his trick, so he anxiously turned and walked to the side: Cousin brother, please do your work, I will wait for you by the side.

      Lu Jinfeng nodded and focused on fishing.

      Lin Qiu'er didn't stay idle either. She bent over and swiftly washed her clothes in the river water.

      Lu Jinfeng turned his head and saw that she was holding his clothes and scrubbing it, holding it under her nose to smell, her face was filled with infatuation, she immediately looked away, and felt disgusted.

      Whichever girl was so unrestrained, this Lin Qiu'er was not ashamed at all. It seemed like he would have to discard another piece of clothing.

      He shifted his gaze and did not meet Lin Qiu'er's gaze. That Lin Qiu'er also noticed his actions, and a complacent smile quickly rose in the corners of her eyes.

      In the end, she was still an innocent teenager, so she was shy. She wasn't trying to seduce him.

      However, since Lu Jinfeng was so shy, it was only a matter of time before she became an official under her skirt. Once Lu Jinfeng fell in love with her, everything in the Lu Family would definitely be hers.

      That woman Chen Mu Mu, what right did he have to compete with her?

      Lu Jinfeng liked Chen Mu Mu, but he was bewitched by her. If he was to slowly discover that she was not good and that this woman was not able to help his cause, would he still like her this much?

      The answer is no. A man has always been affectionate with others. Not to mention that if Chen Mu wanted to have a body, looks, or even a temper, which man would be able to stand it?

      Madam Li and Lu Jinfeng had tolerated Chen Mu Mu only because the small workshop was still under Chen Mu's name and she still held the most authority in this family. But...

      What if Chen Mu Mu Mu ran out of money and the small workshop went bankrupt?

      Lin Qiu'er's eyes flashed with a trace of wicked glee as she lightly pulled the key in her palm, and her entire heart felt refreshed.

      That woman, she had hated her for a long time.

      Lu Jinfeng was busy with catching fish, but his mind was not fully focused on the fish net in the river. Instead, he was secretly observing Lin Qiu'er's side from the corner of his eyes. When Lin Qiu'er thought that he hadn't noticed him tiptoeing away from the river, a trace of strange disdain appeared on the corner of her mouth.

      The fishing net in his hand trembled, and with a tug of his hand, the heavy fishing net leapt out of the river along with two big and fat fish.

      No matter how crafty he was, he was still unable to control himself in front of the bait.

      At the same time, Lin Qiu'er hurriedly ran towards the Lu household. Lu Yulian, who had originally been waiting at his doorstep with a few other women from the village, asked excitedly when he saw her: Did you get the key?

      Got it. Lu Jinfeng is a fool who doesn't have any shrewdness, he never thought of being on his guard against me. After my clothes were dirty, I encouraged him to take them off, and he passed the key over to me.

      My daughter is smart. Lu Yulian frowned, he looked around, and suddenly lowered his voice: Stop dawdling, take the time when the other three are not around, and quickly go in and take the things, to avoid unnecessary trouble.

      I don't know what you're worried about, but that woman has no brains. She lost her silver last time, and I haven't seen any thieves in the past few days. This time, it's no different. Lin Qiu'er curled her lips in disdain.

      We should always be careful not to sail for over ten thousand years. Lu Yulian was not as carefree as her, after all, she had eaten more than ten years of food, had more experience than her daughter, and had thought much more than Lin Qiu'er, These few hundred taels of silver is not a small amount. If we were to be caught and sent off, we will not have much to eat.

      She frowned slightly. And today, I always feel uneasy, as if something is going to happen. Be careful, don't cause any trouble.

      Since Lu Yulian had already said so, no matter how disapproving Lin Qiu'er was, she still had to be careful. I understand, I know what to do.

      As she spoke, she crept into Chen Mu Mu Mu's courtyard.

      At this time, Lu Jinfeng was fishing by the river, Chen Mu had to travel for two days before returning, and Madam Li had to help out at the food shop. At this moment, the house was peaceful and quiet, not to mention the people, there was not even a trace of a bird.

      Lin Qiu'er sized up the courtyard, her gaze gradually becoming indignant. That Chen Mu Mu Mu is ugly, and doesn't have a good brain, how can she live in such a big house, occupy the biggest courtyard in this house, and even obtain the trust and love of Aunt and Cousin! She was just a foreign woman without any status, yet no one said that what she did was wrong. It was simply unfair! The heavens are simply blind!

      Lu Yulian shook his head, a look of unwillingness appeared in his eyes, and he poked her: Stop complaining, after our plan succeeds, everything in this house will be yours.

      Only after hearing Lu Yulian's words did Lin Qiu'er's heart calm down a little. With a tsk, she said, That's right, everything here will sooner or later be mine. That woman is only a pitiful loser, what is there for me to be unwilling?

      As the mother and daughter conversed, they quickly arrived at Chen Mu Mu Mu's room. Lin Qiu'er took out the key and opened the door, revealing a view of the elegant room.

      There were no particularly luxurious decorations, but the room was very spacious and had two pots of green plants on the windowsill. At a glance, one would feel an indescribable sense of comfort. Especially in this room, although there were no expensive objects that a rich family would have, there were tables, cabinets, dresser, zither table, brushes and ink, and some decorative paintings on the wall, causing the room to look even more elegant, giving it a scholarly feel.

      Lin Qiu'er was somewhat unable to move and said hatefully, All the good things have been taken over by that little bitch. This should clearly be my room.

      This was the room of her dreams, this was the day in her heart. It was a pity that it was all taken up by that slut Chen Mu Mu. She really wasn't willing to give up!

      Why? All good things belong to that slut!

      Lu Yulian naturally knew his daughter's temperament, so he only rolled his eyes at her and said: Don't be in a daze, hurry up and find that silver and leave after taking it. If someone discovers us here, even if you have three mouths, you wouldn't be able to say it clearly.

      Lin Qiu'er disapproved. Cousin is catching fish, so he won't be back so soon. Moreover, I didn't waste too much time. After I take the things and return to the river, he won't know that I've touched his key. "Naturally, Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu wouldn't suspect that her cousin had stolen the key from him, and even if she lost the silver, she would only suffer the loss. Could it be that she can still go against her cousin's family? You must know that she is still relying on someone else.

      Lu Yulian knocked her on the forehead and felt a headache coming on: Go find something!

      So be it. The silver is in the house anyway, so we can't run now. Lin Qiu'er disapproved, but she still searched through the boxes.

      However, time slowly passed. No matter how many times they searched the entire room, they could not find the legendary five hundred silver taels.

      Strange, this house is only this big. That surnamed Chen, where can you hide the silver? We've been looking for all the places we can find! Lin Qiu'er said in a slightly crazed manner.

      Lu Yulian squinted his eyes, after pondering for a while, his expression suddenly changed, and he pulled Lin Qiu'er's hand as he quickly ran out: Quickly go, there is no such thing as 500 silver, we have been tricked!

      No matter how amazing Chen Mu Mu was, she was still from a countryside family. It had only been a month or so since her small workshop was opened, and no matter how good her business was, it was impossible for her to earn a thousand taels of silver in no time. A few days ago, she had lost three hundred taels of silver.

      It was all due to her being befuddled by the news that she lost her composure the moment she heard about the money. However, she had forgotten that five hundred taels of silver was not that easy to raise. How could that crafty little slut, Chen Mu Mu, be willing to resign herself to the fate of losing three hundred silver taels? She had obviously dug a hole and was waiting for her and Lin Qiu'er to jump into it!

      Lin Qiu'er had always been a little naive, but she was not stupid. After hearing her mother's words, all the strings were tied together and her face was pale as well. She quickly followed Lu Yulian and left.

      However, just as the two of them reached the door, they bumped into a few villagers led by Chen Mu Mu.

      Chen Mu Mu saw Lu Yulian and Lin Qiu'er and shouted in shock, Aunt, Cousin, this is my room. You guys don't have the key, why are you in my room?

      CHAPTER 102 - INTERROGATION

      Lu Yulian and Lin Qiu'er looked at each other and groaned in their hearts.

      Indeed, Chen Mu had said that anyone who went on a long journey would lie. This was clearly a trap, and her mother had foolishly jumped in, caught red-handed by them.

      Their master wasn't home, but they barged into his house. This was against the rules, and now they were caught red-handed. If Chen Mu Mu said that something was missing from her room, they wouldn't be able to explain it with a hundred mouths!

      Chen Mu saw the complex expressions on Lu Yulian and her daughter's face, and laughed in his heart, not letting down on their expectations, he rolled his eyes and said anxiously: Oh no, I left five hundred taels of silver in the house this morning, it can't be that I'm not here anymore.

      This shameless little bitch, where did she get five hundred taels of silver in her room!

      Lu Yulian almost spurted out blood as he said angrily: Little niece, what is the meaning of this? Qiu Er and I are living in your house, it is true, but we are people who sit upright and unperturbed, don't tell me you suspect us of stealing your things?

      People shouldn't fight each other when they look at each other. Naturally, I won't suspect that my aunt and cousin are stealing from me. However … Chen Mu Mu Mu looked at the few village women beside her and sighed. The few of you aunts all know about this. I just lost 300 taels of silver a few days ago, and the thief hasn't found it yet. I can't help but be on guard.

      Her tone paused for a moment, and her gaze swept past Lu Yulian and her daughter. Besides, Aunt and Cousin, there's no reason for you to enter my house while I'm not at home, right?

      She did not give the key to Lu Yulian and her daughter, but Lu Yulian and her daughter were able to enter her room.

      Just like last time, she had lost her silver. They didn't seem to know who had stolen it, as the key was always on her body and no one else was allowed to enter without the key.

      So... Lu Yulian and her daughter could still enter without a key this time, wasn't it the same as last time?

      The women of the village were experienced and short-sighted, but that did not mean that they were stupid. Hearing Chen Mu Mu's words, they immediately had an answer in their hearts, and all sorts of suspicious and complicated gazes fell on Lu Yulian and Lin Qiu'er.

      Those who were quick with their words made a noise, No wonder they can lose things. It is indeed very hard to guard against thieves. If someone in your house steals money, then it is natural that no one will find out.

      To know the face and not the heart, I never thought that Lu Yulian and her daughter were actually this kind of people.

      Now that you've caused such a commotion, don't even think about finding a good family for your daughter in the future. Whose son is so blind to want to marry a woman with dirty hands and feet.

      It's a pity that such a symbol of a lady is the same as her mother. To think that she would actually have such a corrupt character.

      I remember that the Chen family lost three hundred silver last time, and this mother and daughter pair were even falsely accused of being stolen by the Madam Li. The thieves are calling for us to catch them, these two people are really shameless! "

      ...

      A woman with a broken mouth would always be willing to say vicious words, especially when it was none of her business. Especially towards those who had bad morals and conduct, she would not be merciful with her words.

      Hearing the women of the Apricot Rain Village nagging and getting worse the more they talk, Lin Qiu'er angrily shouted, Don't speak such nonsense. Mother and I did not steal anything. We only saw that Mu Mu's room was not locked and her room was a little messy. We specially came over to tidy it up with her.

      The village women shushed her, their eyes and saliva flying everywhere.

      Isn't it obvious that you are lying with your eyes open? That girl Mu told me that when she left, the room's door was locked and the key was given to Xiao Feng.

      Isn't that so? The rooms are so messy, and the things that are rummaging through them are completely uninhabitable. There is no need for them to tidy up anything. It is clear that they were the ones who messed up things.

      There is nothing worth paying three hundred taels of silver in this place. They can even lie without making a draft. However, we all have eyes to see; how could we be easily fooled by them?

      With the passing of time, people don't care about the ancient times. Such a shameless person has also lived for a long time.

      ...

      When Lu Yulian and her daughter heard the discussion of the crowd, the women were all eager to see the world in chaos. Their words were extremely unpleasant to listen to, causing their faces to turn green and purple, and just as they were about to refute, Chen Mu Mu Mu had already turned pale and rushed out, saying angrily: When I left the house this morning, there was even five hundred taels of silver in the room, and now they actually flew away!

      You're slandering me, you don't even have five hundred taels of silver in your room! In the end, Lin Qiu'er was still young and tender. Upon hearing Chen Mu Mu's words, the crowd burst into an uproar.

      How could I not know whether or not there is silver in my room! Chen Mu Mu Mu turned around and looked at her with a stern and angry expression, I treated you as aunts and elder sisters and didn't expect you to be people like this. I didn't find any evidence when I lost the silver last time, but this time, how are you going to argue!

      How would I know where your money went? We didn't steal it anyway. If you don't believe me, search your body! Lin Qiu'er raised his head and glared back, hatefully saying, You're a woman with ill intentions, yet you intentionally set us up. Where is your conscience?!

      Where is my conscience? Chen Mu was amused. You all stole my things, yet I caught you all red-handed, accusing me of harbouring malicious intentions, accusing me of framing you? If you are innocent, where did my five hundred silver go? Why did you appear in my room?

      Anyway, we didn't steal your money. Lu Yulian's expression was very ugly, but compared to Lin Qiu'er, she was clearly much calmer. Even though Qiu'er and I entered your room, we really did not steal any silver.

      Five hundred silver taels! She would never be able to find that much money in her entire life. If she were to admit to such a crime, forget about how her reputation would be ruined.

      Why did you guys appear in my room if you didn't steal the money? Chen Mu Mu sniggered, Do you dare to say that you all aren't greedy for the things in my house?

      She hurriedly took two steps forward and grabbed the key in the room's door, then she slightly narrowed her eyes, "This is the key that I gave Xiao Feng. He is such a cautious person, so he would definitely not casually give the key to others.

      Stealing things was already a very big crime, and if there was another murder, it would be terrible!

      He's catching fish by the river. He's a man, what can we do to him? Lu Yulian was furious, since their actions had been discovered by everyone, it was useless for them to hide, so he admitted it, That's right, I stole his key, I coveted the five hundred silver in your room, but when we entered your room, I did not see the so called five hundred gold, it was probably a trap set up by you, you want to capture us? Since you've found out, you can do whatever you want with her, but we didn't take the five hundred silver taels from her. If you don't believe me, we can search her body!"

      She had finally come to terms with it. Instead of passively taking on the blame, she might as well admit it in a way that benefited her.

      That's right, she and Lin Qiu'er wanted to steal something, but they didn't steal anything at all.

      Stealing and stealing were two different things. Chen Mu Mu was afraid that she had made up her mind and jumped out in a hurry, but she forgot one thing – she and Lin Qiu'er did not have five hundred taels of silver on them.

      She admitted it, but she didn't want them to take out that five hundred taels of silver!

      Lin Qiu'er was still confused, but after hearing her mother confess, she was given a fright and was about to argue when Lu Yulian suddenly grabbed her hand and gave her a look of silence.

      Lin Qiu'er went silent again.

      After interacting with her mother for so many years, both mother and daughter had a deep understanding of each other. Lu Yulian's intelligence was above hers, and she believed that her mother was not a reckless person.

      Then search. A village woman echoed, Five hundred silver taels is not a small sum. If they really disappear, what should we do?

      These village women were all working in Chen Mu Mu's small food workshop. Chen Mu Mu had also given them generous wages, and although Chen Mu was occasionally jealous of his achievements, in the interest of their community, Chen Mu Mu had failed. He had lost his money, and the small workshop could no longer be run.

      Which boss would be so generous as Chen Mu Mu? Which workshop was built in the village to make it easier for them to work? Where's the work, like Chen Mu Mu Mu's workshop, easy work and fast money?

      If the small workshop could not be run, they might have to go back to their old ways of farming to support their families. They had to survive for a month for food and clothing, never stopping to eat. Just the thought of that scene made him shudder.

      Therefore, Chen Mu Mu Mu must be fine. Chen Mu's workshop must be run, and her money must also be found.

      The hearts of the village women were in Chen Mu's hands.

      Chen Mu Mu shook his head, There's no need to search. Since Aunt is so confident that the item isn't on them, it definitely isn't on them. He paused as he spoke, his gaze sweeping across the complacent expressions of Lu Yulian and her daughter, and slowly added, If you think about it, an extremely smart person like Aunt and Cousin Sis would not leave a way out for themselves. Those five hundred silver taels were probably taken out by them and would not be able to be taken back.

      She had a mournful look on her face, and the village women's hearts tightened for a moment.

      Silver! Little Workshop! Pay! Their peaceful days!

      This is running away...

      The village women immediately became fierce and shouted, No way, how can we let it go like this?! If we owe money, we have to puke out everything we steal! This is just and natural!

      There is no reason for the owner to be at a disadvantage. Since they dare to steal from us, they must have the awareness to take out the money, or else we will chop off their hands!

      Lu Yulian and her daughter did not know each other well. Stealing your money has always put you in a difficult position, so it's fine if you don't have relatives like them.

      Pfft, you even have relatives! If I had such a relative, I would have long since chopped him out with a kitchen knife, lest I harm others and myself! "

      He actually came from our Xingyu Village. Such character is truly shameful!

      Chen Tong, it's a waste for such people to live!

      ...

      The village women's discussion got more intense, especially when two of the village women couldn't hold back and searched through Lu Yulian and Lin Qiu Er's bodies for silver.

      How can there be such a person in this world who speaks righteously after stealing something!

      I'm so pissed off, I feel like my eyes are dirty just by looking at such a shameless bitch!

      Sunken Pond, don't let them go out and harm others!

      Seeing that the village women were getting more and more agitated, even going as far as to make a move to arrest them, Lu Yulian and Lin Qiu'er panicked and shouted: You can't do this to us, being thieves, taking the loot, asking for human evidence. You didn't find the five hundred taels of silver on us, you can't say that we stole something!

      That's right, we don't have stolen goods, you can't mess around. We want to steal something, but we didn't steal anything at all!

      Everything has to be done in accordance to evidence. No matter how vile we are, it's just an attempt to steal something. What right do you have to punish us?!

      At worst, it's just sending you off. You can't disregard our lives. The county magistrate won't let you off!

      Wait! Hearing Lu Yulian and her daughter's words, Chen Mu Mu Mu shouted and stopped everyone's movements, the corner of her mouth revealing a profound smile, You want to see an official?

      We only attempted to steal something and you have no proof. The county magistrate will not make things difficult for us! Lu Yulian raised his head and took a deep breath, Chen Mu Mu Mu, in the end, we are still citizens of the county. You can send us off, and as for the money you said, whether it is black or white, it will be left to the county magistrate to handle!

      The people started a dispute. This was a matter for the county magistrate to handle, so the magistrate was able to handle it without any problems.

      But...

      Aunt, your argument is good. Chen Mu's lips curled up into a cold smile, but his eyes remained cold. However, Aunt kept saying that we did not have any evidence, but the key that I gave Xiao Feng appeared on all of you, this is the second time that I have lost silver, a total of 800 taels of silver was stolen from me, and all of you are flipping things in my room with so many pairs of eyes watching you. Who do you think the county magistrate will listen to?

      Lu Yulian and looked at each other, as if a bucket of ice water had been poured on their heads. "Aunt and Cousin, you two probably don't know of my laws yet, whether it be corruption or theft, as long as it is more than one hundred silver, the punishment is ten years, and the reward is fifty boards. Over five hundred silver coins were directly used to behead the public at noon. Aunt and Cousin, don't say that I didn't remember your relationship and didn't give you a chance. You should think it through clearly.

      CHAPTER 103 - IT'S NOT THAT EASY

      Lu Yulian and Lin Qiu'er looked at each other, their faces ashen, without a trace of blood.

      Chen Mu's words weren't a lie. His Majesty highly valued the ruthless officials and hated them for their evil, hated them the most for embezzlement and theft. Stealing more than five hundred silver taels was indeed a matter of being beheaded.

      Originally, they had wanted to go to the county magistrate to settle the dispute, but now they were hesitant to do so.

      Not to mention that they had been caught red-handed in the act by Chen Mu Mu Mu's group, they had no way to refute those gazes. Whether they had stolen the five hundred silver taels or not, and what's more, the three hundred silver taels that Chen Mu Mu had lost earlier, were indeed taken by them.

      Chen Mu and the others weren't sure that she and Lin Qiu'er had obtained it, because there was no evidence. However, what kind of person was the county magistrate? If this matter was brought to the attention of the county magistrate, they would definitely find out the truth. Even if they were lucky enough to find out that they didn't steal the five hundred silver taels, they would still demand a fierce punishment after the crime of stealing three hundred silver taels.

      Fifty slabs was enough to take a person's life, not to mention a ten year prison … Just by thinking about it, he could feel the cold coming from the bottom of his feet.

      No, I can't go to the county magistrate.

      With his mind at ease, Lu Yulian clenched his teeth, and asked hatefully: Chen Mu Mu, what do you want!

      Nothing, I am always easy-going, and won't deliberately make things difficult for others. Since you stole my things and framed my mother, then just return the money and apologize to me and my mother. Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu said respectfully.

      Lu Yulian and Lin Qiu'er almost stopped breathing from anger.

      Chen Mu Mu, why don't you just rob us? You dare to think about eight hundred silver?

      What, am I going too far? Chen Mu Mu snickered, and the expression in his eyes gradually turned cold. You owe people money, so it's only right for you to return it. Do you have any reason to steal it? No, I should send it to the county magistrate. Let's see if the county magistrate will sentence you to pay me eight hundred silver taels!

      ... No! Lin Qiu'er's eyes revealed fear as she screamed, I don't want to go to the magistrate, I don't want to go!

      Lu Yulian was already married, but she was still a daughter of a Huang Hua family. If the crime of stealing were to be brought to the county magistrate, then everyone in the whole village would know that her hands and feet were not clean. How would she find a wife to marry in the future?

      Furthermore, she had to go to the fifty plank and ten years of imprisonment. No, she had to chop off her head. Just thinking about it made her shudder. She didn't want to go to the county magistrate's office.

      Even if she had to suffer a loss, she would vomit blood. She absolutely could not let this matter be solved!

      Mother, you promised them. I don't want to report to the government, I don't want to!

      Shut up! Lu Yulian looked at his daughter who had gone into a frenzy. The veins on his forehead were aching. The reason why she painstakingly dug holes for them was to blackmail them for a sum of silver. If her goal wasn't achieved, then how could she do such a thing?

      But Lin Qiu'er did not understand her mother's intentions. Upon hearing the news and thinking of the circumstances that might occur in the future, her entire body trembled.

      Mom, isn't it just money? Just give it to them. I don't need to report it to the government. Mom, I'm begging you!

      You disappointing thing! Lu Yulian was about to die from anger, how could she have given birth to such a fool, to be dragging her everywhere!

      They didn't steal five hundred taels of silver in the first place. Now that Lin Qiu'er had shouted that out, they had to admit that they were guilty of the crime.

      Five hundred taels of silver was not five taels of silver, nor was it five bronze coins. How could she simply take it out with five taels of silver?

      As they spoke, the courtyard's entrance was noisy. Accompanied by the sound of footsteps, a line of people appeared in everyone's line of sight.

      What happened? Why is it making such a big fuss?

      A voice filled with vigor drifted over, causing all the women, including Chen Mu Mu, to shudder.

      The reason for that was because the person who had come was the village chief, the decision maker of the village.

      Chen Mu Mu glanced at Lu Jinfeng who was dressed in a robe that did not belong to him, then looked at Da Niu, Xiao Niu, and the Madam Li following closely behind the Village Chief.

      Her support had arrived, and the good days for Lu Yulian and her daughter had also come to an end.

      When I returned to the Village Chief's words, I remembered that some of the materials were still missing, so I asked the few aunts to come back with me to retrieve them. However, once I returned, I saw my aunt and elder cousin appear in my room. Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu replied respectfully as he glanced at the messy room and sighed. He then turned to the village chief and said, I hope that the village chief can help me.

      Such a thing actually happened. A trace of disgust appeared in the Village Head's eyes. He had been in charge of Xingyu Village for so many years, and although he did not contribute much, at the very least, when he was in charge of the village, this blatant act of stealing was definitely not possible. The villagers all knew that he had a lot of face, and very few people dared to take the risk of being made an example for him. But now, this Lu Yulian mother and daughter pair had slapped him so hard that if news of this were to spread, others would laugh at his lack of governance.

      The village chief's face darkened, he did not hear what was going on. He turned his head to look at Lu Yulian and Lin Qiu'er, and coldly asked: Chen Mu Mu said that you stole five hundred silver from her, and then were caught red-handed. What do you have to say for yourself?

      Qiu'er and I did not steal the silver! Seeing the Village Chief's arrival, Lu Yulian thought that his savior had arrived and anxiously shouted. His body trembled as he added, Village Chief, I admit that Qiu Er and I did want to steal some silver from Chen Mu Mu Mu's room, but we did not even see a shadow of those five hundred silver taels.

      If you didn't steal my silver, then where did the five hundred silver I put on the bed go to? Chen Mu harrumphed, I dare not accept the honor of doing so, but I've already been captured. Why bother struggling? What a waste of the effort of others.

      If you didn't steal it, then you didn't steal it. How can you slander us? Do we not even have the chance to refute you? Are we going to be wrongly accused just like that? Lu Yulian replied.

      Do you all believe that I will slander you all or do you all feel guilty? I believe that everyone here has seen it. Chen Mu Mu Mu looked around at the villagers and smiled mockingly, I won't say too much. Five hundred silver taels is not a small amount, plus the last three hundred silver taels, they are practically all my family assets. Since you guys took so much of my money, I can't pretend that nothing happened.

      As Chen Mu Mu Mu's voice faded, the village women who had been with her in capturing the bandits earlier began to speak out in anger.

      Lu Yulian actually dared to say that she did not steal anything. Did she think that all of us were blind? You've been caught red-handed, and you still refuse to admit it!

      This mother and daughter pair aren't good people. I say, Chen family's daughter, you don't have to be polite with them. You're nostalgic, but they won't. You can't pay them back, right? Sending the official away is fine!

      Why are you wasting your breath on them? Their hands and feet are so unclean, and they stole so much money from us. Let's not even talk about sending them off, we can kill them all with just our sticks!

      To be merciful to your enemies is to be cruel to yourself. Chen Mu Mu Mu, don't be courteous to them, there are two reasons why you should do this. Moreover, this isn't the first time they've stolen something.

      Right, we'll just beat them to death. Anyway, they won't admit to stealing the silver. What's the point of such a person living? Just looking at them makes one feel disgusted.

      The village women's angry discussions were not concealed at all, the village chief heard their conversation and snorted, he looked towards Lu Jinfeng and Madam Li: This is your family's matter, since the thief has already been caught, how do you plan to deal with it?

      But according to the Village Head's orders. Madam Li and Lu Jinfeng gave face and threw the ball back to the village chief, We believe that the village chief's decision will convince us.

      With no results yet, he put on his tall hat. This way, even if the village head wanted to show favoritism, he would not dare to be too unfair in front of everyone's eyes.

      The village chief understood Lu Jinfeng and his mother's thoughts, and was a little uncomfortable. However, on the surface, these words sounded beautiful, praising his outstanding abilities and prestige, but after considering it, he decided not to bother with the mother and son, and looked at Chen Mu Mu Mu. What do you think?

      Throwing a ball was something that only one side could do.

      Chen Mu Mu slightly lowered her brows and didn't follow along with the Village Head's words. Instead, she said, I only want to take back the silver that I lost.

      The Village Chief was astonished. You lost so much silver, causing so much trouble in your life. You only need to take the silver that you received in return, then you don't care about this matter anymore?

      This magnanimity was enough to cause even Buddha to feel ashamed.

      As long as I get the silver, I don't mind about anything else. Five hundred silver taels plus three hundred silver taels brought her a total of eight hundred silver taels. After earning so much, the mother and daughter pair had already suffered a great loss.

      However, offending her had caused her to panic and run off in search of money to fill the gap. How could she let things go so easily? She had always been a vengeful person.

      Chen Mu's lips curled up into a smile that couldn't be seen as he said, As for this aunt and cousin, I have no objections whether the Village Head will be sending off the officials or following the rules and regulations of the village.

      Lu Yulian's eyes swept over her, almost gouging her out alive.

      This woman's words were magnanimous, but not only did she gain the advantage, she even sealed off their path of retreat.

      They didn't even steal eight hundred taels of silver, so why did they have to return so much?

      He even specifically reminded them to send him off or to punish him according to the village rules. Even if the village head wanted to shield them, with so many pairs of eyes staring at them, he couldn't do anything else.

      He had evil intentions, and his intentions were truly vicious!

      The village elder looked around and already had an idea. He asked Lu Yulian and Lin Qiu'er, I sentence you to return the eight hundred silver that Chen Mu Mu had lost, are you convinced? If you are not convinced, then let these villagers send you to the government and let the county magistrate decide your verdict. My Xingyu Village cannot tolerate such disgusting thieves."

      The Village Chief's words were naturally of different weight. Lu Yulian and Lin Qiu'er both knew that if he could say it, he would definitely be able to do it.

      Lin Qiu'er let out an ah before shaking her head with all her might. "No, I don't want to see an official. Even if I'm beaten to death, I won't be able to see an official.

      Her daughter's determination made all the calculations in Lu Yulian's mind deflate.

      The village chief looked straight at him, aggressively and perseveringly. Have you thought it through? Do you intend to go to court or do you intend to settle the matter privately?

      At this point, he had no other choice. Lu Yulian drooped his head and dejectedly replied: I will return the money.

      Compared to prison time, bad reputation, and a wooden board, eight hundred silver taels were much easier. At the very least, he would have to make sure that he didn't have to worry about the survival of his family.

      Then hand over the silver. Chen Mu Mu stretched out his hands, giving her no time to hesitate at all.

      I don't have that much silver. Lu Yulian was constipated, Eight hundred silver is not a small sum at all. I am just a woman from a small family, how can I have that much silver to return to you?

      There is no IOU. Chen Mu Mu Mu shook her head, her eyes filled with determination as she said, If you have the guts to steal my money and spend it, then you will have to pay the price for your actions!

      The problem was that they didn't steal the remaining five hundred silver.

      Lu Yulian was furious and depressed in her heart, but the surrounding villagers were eyeing them covetously, so she could not escape and could not refute them.

      After the impulsive women found out that she didn't have silver, they rushed to her and Lin Qiu'er's room, took out all the valuable things in their room, and said that they wanted to repay the debt.

      Two hundred and thirty-eight silver. Bai Xiulin shook his head, You guys still say that you didn't steal anything, now you even have evidence, let's see what you guys can say.

      Lu Yulian complained in his heart. After she and Lin Qiu'er had stolen the three hundred silver taels from him, they had not been in a hurry to spend it, but had been hiding them away, thinking to use them when they returned to their own homes. He had not expected that the village women would cause such a ruckus by taking out all the things that she had kept in her storage.

      Lu Yulian sighed, her tone still firm. There's evidence of all sorts. This silver was clearly earned by Qiu'er and I with great effort. How can you say it was stolen?

      Don't try to argue with me. Chen Mu Mu is a petty person and was afraid that there would be a mouse in her family. She used the leaves of the White Moon Tree to wrap the silver with it. Bai Xiulin choked, his eyes full of ridicule.

      It was simply impossible for a dog to stop itself from eating feces! There was no cure!

      CHAPTER 104 - MENTAL SKILL

      When Bai Xiulin said that, a village woman who had good news immediately went forward to take a whiff of the silver, and shouted.

      There really is the smell of the White Moon Leaf!

      The village chief's face became even more unsightly, he was not afraid of doing wrong, what he feared the most was that he would not repent after doing wrong. He narrowed his eyes and said angrily: Even our Apricot Rain Village do not have the habit of wrapping white moon leaves around silver, Lu Yulian, what do you have to say now?

      Now that things had come to this point, there was no point in continuing to quibble. Lu Yulian looked up and admitted: I have nothing to say.

      Then you agreed to pay Lu Jinfeng and his family eight hundred silver taels? the village chief asked.

      Chen Mu Mu frowned, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart.

      Her silver was her silver, when did it become Lu Jinfeng's family's silver? Even though they were living together and called each other 'family', it was still clear that they were brothers. How could they give away her silver just like that?

      Why!

      Lu Jinfeng sensed that something was wrong and spoke to correct the Village Chief's words, Village Chief, you are wrong. The eight hundred silver is Chen Mu Mu Mu's money, and not mine and Mother's.

      You're from the same family, and you're the head of the family. Don't tell me that her silver isn't yours? The village chief asked with a look of astonishment.

      Obviously, in his opinion, it was Lu Jinfeng who was causing trouble without reason.

      Chen Mu Mu only lives in our family. Although we are considered a family, the silver she painstakingly earned belongs to her. Lu Jinfeng said with a stern expression on his face. He stopped for a moment and continued to speak, Moreover, we have received quite a bit of Mu Mu's care and attention right now.

      The village chief's gaze swept across Lu Jinfeng and the tacit approval of the Madam Li, then stopped on Chen Mu Mu. He let out a meaningful sigh and shook his head, "The so-called 'family' truly does not differentiate between us.

      The words of the village chief had always carried a lot of weight. When everyone heard his words, their expressions all changed.

      Chen Mu Mu Mu's heart was filled with mixed feelings. She naturally understood that the Village Head's words were mocking her for taking advantage of the Lu family. He said that he regarded the Lu family as a family, but when he met them he was especially clear on the benefits. But so what if he was selfish?

      Chen Mu pursed his lips, not saying a word.

      Who wouldn't be selfish? Who could truly not help themselves at all? Since she came to this ancient era, in this remote little village, she would have to worry about nothing. In this ancient era, she came to this ancient era, she would worry about nothing in this remote little village. When she felt wronged, who would remember to stand up for her?

      To be willing to help others on one's own terms, it was only on a basis of one's own that one could help others.

      And it was only help, not all of it.

      No communication in this world is absolutely equal, except in the form of goods. Don't count on the amount of kindness and help you give others, they will give you back when you need them — there are too many things in this world that you can't get back by borrowing money.

      There was no one to help or rely on. Everything depended on itself. Moreover, she was still in the entrepreneurial stage. If she did not use every cent and did not care about every bit of benefits, when she needed help, who would help her? She was generous now. Should she just wait for others to help her when she was in trouble in the future?

      It was better to beg than to beg. If he could do it himself, then he shouldn't trouble others.

      So... If it was hers, why didn't she want it? Why not?

      You want to send her away with a word of selfishness and use morality to kidnap her? I'm sorry, she doesn't eat it.

      Even if she was pointed at by thousands of men, her conduct and actions only relied on her conscience, and only wanted to have a clear conscience.

      She was selfish. What she sought was her own possessions. She wasn't greedy, so no one had the right to criticize her.

      Seeing her standing there without moving, the village chief didn't refute her despite all the guesses of the crowd. He secretly sighed, but didn't say anything more.

      It was very difficult for outsiders to interfere with someone else's family matters. Even though he was the village chief, he did not have the authority to interfere. Besides, the people from the Lu family didn't mind. Why would he meddle in other people's business? He would be hated if he didn't get anything.

      He turned his head and said to Lu Yulian and her daughter: Since both of you have pleaded guilty, then return the money.

      Lu Yulian was not afraid of boiling water, he faced the items that were found by the people on the ground and shrugged: All of my money is here, I don't have any more.

      There aren't many valuable things here either. The Village Chief frowned even more, Two hundred and thirty-eight taels of silver, together with gold bracelets and silver and jewelry, it would only add up to fifty to sixty taels of silver and another five hundred taels of silver. How can we be so short of money?

      His gaze suspiciously swept past Lu Yulian and her daughter's face. He squinted his eyes and asked, "Where did you steal the five hundred silver today? Where did you move it to?

      I didn't steal the five hundred silver at all, how could I take it out? Speaking till here, Lu Yulian was also extremely furious, This is obviously Chen Mu's trap, to lure us into taking the bait!

      Oh? Chen Mu Mu smirked as he glanced at her with a smile that was not a smile, Aunt, are you sure it was me who set you up? Do you want the county magistrate to judge me so that I won't wrongly accuse a good person?

      Lu Yulian vented his anger all of a sudden: I took it.

      What a joke, she was so full that she had to face Chen Mu head on. If the matter were to reach the county magistrate, would Lu Yulian and her daughter still have a place to stay?

      Compared to prison, plank, and beheading, silver was just an external object. There was bound to be some silver.

      Since you've already taken it, take it out. Do you want us to take action as well? When the village chief heard the two of them talking, he knew that Lu Yulian and her daughter were worried.

      He was the head of the village, and this Lu Yulian mother and daughter were too insensible. They didn't even give him a favor because of Chen Mu Mu, so there was no need for him to give the mother and daughter face anymore.

      The Village Chief's expression was stern and reserved, Lu Yulian could not help but shiver, gritting his teeth, he found it hard to believe: Village Chief, I really do not have that much money on me.

      The so-called five hundred liang of silver was a trap set by Chen Mu. How could she have five hundred liang of silver? She hadn't stolen the money, so she naturally couldn't take it out. Furthermore, this wasn't a small amount.

      You can write promissory notes. The kind village women chimed in.

      That's right, just because he's not on yet doesn't mean he won't be in the future. Since I can't take it out, I'll just write him a promissory note.

      That won't do. This mother and daughter pair's character is too bad. They've already sent a promissory note worth five hundred silver taels. If they don't return it, or if they don't return it after ten or eight years, wouldn't that harm our Mu Mu? There were also some who were careful to not agree.

      But we really don't have any money. Hearing the words of all the women, Lin Qiu'er wanted to cry, but no tears came out.

      Five hundred silver taels, did they take it as a bank? They could take it out just like that.

      If you say that you have no money, then where did the money go? Someone disliked Lin Qiu'er's actions and disdainfully pushed her a little.

      I didn't … Lin Qiu'er was just about to say that she didn't steal it, but Lu Yulian pulled her hand.

      Things had already gotten to this point. It wasn't because they said they didn't
