Chapter 582: [Big Wedding] Old Things (I)
Back in the small courtyard No. 3, Ning Qiushui and the others shrank into the room, locked the door, and then Liu Chengfeng took out the "account book" he got from Mu Chixing and put it on the table.
Everyone gathered around, the surface of the "account book" had been yellowed, the corners were rolled up, the dust was a little heavy, the traces of time could not be concealed, and some places even left brown stains, I don't know if it was oil stains or something else.
Staring at this 'ledger', An Hongdou said softly:
"There's a problem...... If the housekeeper realizes something, or the other tricksters realize something, and they go to Mu Chixing, will that guy shake out all the things in the "ledger"? ”
Ning Qiushui opened the first page of the ledger and said:
"It's entirely possible."
"So let's do it quickly, and after we finish it, just hide the 'ledger' and let him find it slowly."
As he spoke, his gaze fell on the first page of the ledger.
It is indeed written with Mu Chen's name written on it.
But what's interesting is that after several people carefully read this "account book" from beginning to end, they found out that Mu Chen was not the housekeeper of the Mu family at all!
He was the most dishonored member of the shepherd's family.
Unlike others, Mu Chen has no parents and family at all, and he is not qualified to sign any labor contract with the Mu family, he is a beggar who was about to freeze to death from the street when Mu Yunsheng, the young master of the Mu family, kindly took him in from the street.
Mu Chen's name and surname were all given by Mu Yunsheng.
That year, Mu Yunsheng was eight years old and was still attending private school.
Of course, because Mu Yunsheng was too young back then, he didn't have any right to speak at home, so even if the Mu family agreed to let Mu Chen stay, they didn't really treat him as a human being at all.
He does two to three times as much work as the other subordinates, whether it is feeding pigs, weeding, or cleaning toilets.
Moreover, the salary he received was only a quarter of that of other subordinates.
From time to time, he will be subjected to all kinds of malicious speculation from other subordinates, saying that he is a fugitive who has smuggled in somewhere, and has done a lot of dirty and shady things in the past.
Occasionally, he would be punched and kicked by some drunken subordinates, and if he ran slower, he would see a lot of black green on Mu Chen's body the next day.
But even so, Mu Chen was still very grateful to Mu Yunsheng.
Because if it weren't for Mu Yunsheng, he would have frozen to death in the dirty and garbage alley in the town.
In the end, he will definitely be disposed of like the garbage.
Although he is often bullied in the Mu family now, at least he can dress warmly and eat well.
Up and down the Mu family, no one likes the beggar that the little master picked up, the only thing that is good to him is Mu Yunsheng and some old people in the back kitchen who are responsible for boiling water, chopping wood, and cooking.
But Mu Yunsheng didn't see him a few times at all.
Interestingly, however, he seemed to have been able to read and write.
The "account book" is the "account" recorded by Mu Chen with the pen and paper he bought with a whole year's savings.
Whoever was good to him and who was bad to him was all written down.
This account book is very thick, recording the events that happened in the pastoral family for decades, it is not difficult to see from the description on the ledger that the pastoral family is a very feudal landlord group, the ancestors relied on tomb robbery to make a fortune, and then the golden basin washed his hands and began to do some silk and tea business, in order to maintain the prosperity of the family, the pastoral family has been married to the rich lady for generations, so that the three families and two families finally and one, the children and grandchildren were born with the surname Mu.
Everything was developing in the direction of its heyday, until Mu Yunsheng, the youngest son of the current head of the Mu family, had a problem here.
Mu Yunsheng is the most talented heir of the Mu family, reading, arithmetic, and behavior are excellent in all aspects, the head of the family has already moved his mind to pass on the position to Mu Yunsheng, but when arranging Mu Yunsheng's wedding, he accidentally learned that his youngest son fell in love with Ye Yuxiang, a singing actress in the town's theater, and even promised to marry this woman in the future.
When the head of the herdsman family heard it, did he pay it back?
What is the status of his pastoral family?
Don't talk about that drama girl, even if it's the theater in the town, he waved his hand casually, and it didn't matter if he bought ten or eight seats, at the price of their pastoral family, if the future head of the family married a drama girl, what would outsiders think?
Where will his face remain?
Because of this incident, the head of the Mu family and Mu Yunsheng completely fell out.
Mu Yunsheng told his father that if he wanted to intervene in the marriage, then he would not take over the position of head of the family.
However, which of Mu Yunsheng's brothers is not an idle person?
All day long, either listening to the drama or going to the Qinglou, or fighting crickets, the head of the Mu family knows in his heart that if he hands over the Mu family to these uncompetitive bastards, it will basically be cold.
Generations of ancestors fought hard to build a foundation, and it was destroyed in his hands.
He couldn't accept it.
At that time, the head of the Mu family personally found Ye Yuhua and promised to give her a huge sum of money, so that she would leave the town and never come back.
But Ye Yuxiang did not agree.
She told the head of the Mu family that she didn't want the money, and it was okay to leave, but she had to make it clear to Mu Yunsheng, she couldn't just be so unclear and leave.
In the end, the head of the herdsman family couldn't resist her, so he had to agree.
The two met.
The head of the herdsman family hid outside and listened.
Mu Yunsheng is so smart, as soon as Ye Yuxiang spoke, he guessed that his father had come to look for her, and he told Ye Yuxiang, if you want to leave, you can leave, I will go with you.
Hearing this, the head of the Mu family couldn't hold back any longer, and rushed in directly, asking his subordinates to tie Mu Yunsheng back directly and lock him in the small black house.
This level is more than half a month.
Of course, during this period, the head of the Mu family was not idle, and the regular means did not work, so he couldn't help but move his mind.
Seeing the other unsuccessful sons, the head of the Mu family quickly found the eldest son, handed him a bag of medicine and many precious jades, and told him about his plan.
So, the boss took the bag of medicine, found the fox friend he knew on weekdays, and explained, the latter went directly to the theater, and spent a lot of money to meet Ye Yuxiang to listen to the play alone, although the people in the theater are not bad people, but they watched the boss of the Mu family bring a whole bag of jade, their eyes were straight, where do they care so much, at that time, they asked Ye Yuxiang to entertain this guest, and promised again and again that she only needs to sing and does not need to do other things.
In this way, the man found an opportunity to drug Ye Yuxiang and raped her.
At this time, the head of the Mu family "just happened" to bring someone to the opera garden, and he told the foreman that he had discussed it with his youngest son and agreed to this family business, after all, although Ye Yuxiang is a drama girl, she is a performer and not a person, and her behavior is upright, and the rumors and rumors of outsiders will not affect anything.
But when they pushed open the door of the room where Ye Yuxiang was under the leadership of the foreman, they saw Ye Yuxiang with messy hair and naked lying on the table, and the ground was in a mess.
The stigma of Ye Yuxiang quickly spread throughout the town......
pS: There's another chapter that's going to be late, go out for dinner.
