Knowing that Mu Yi was going to stay in Tianchang County to 'recuperate', Wei Zhuang frowned, but he didn't say anything.

Sending her husband away, Mu Yiyi's expression was a little uncertain: "Sister, do you think your brother-in-law is so ignorant?"

"Sister, you used to be too sensible, so you made others demand more and more from you. You are a human being, not a god, why can't you lose your temper?" Mu Jiaojiao said indifferently, "Moreover, now that you have me as a backer, what if you have a little temper?

Mu Yi was stunned, and finally a smile bloomed on his face: "You're right! I have a backer as big as you, why do I have to endure it all the time? Now it's time for them to put up with my temper!"

"That's it!" Mu Jiaojiao nodded his head, "Let's start with my brother-in-law." You have to let your brother-in-law know that you also have your bottom line, and you can't unconditionally indulge those people. When he waits for his brother-in-law, he can't stand those few, so he will naturally stand on the united front with you, and when the time comes, wouldn't it be easier for you and your husband to deal with those people together than for you to fight alone?"

Mu Jiaojiao listened, and her heart couldn't help but beat hard - it turned out that Mu Jiaojiao didn't leave her with a sudden hot head, in her heart, she had already planned for her sister!

"Sister, this matter is thanks to you. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I'd have been back struggling by now. She hurriedly shook Mu Jiaojiao's hand.

Mu Jiaojiao shook her head with a smile: "Sister, you are a resolute person." If you were to put yourself in my shoes, you would be more beautiful than me. It's just that because it's your family, and your brother-in-law is the closest person to you now, you can't give up your heart. ”

Mu Yiyi's eyes couldn't help but turn red again, and she grabbed her hand tightly and choked and couldn't speak.

It was easy to appease Mu Jiao, and when Mu Jiaojiao returned to the room, she saw Cui Pu looking at her with defensive eyes.

This look is like that of a puppy who sees his companion stoned, lest someone else pick up another stone and throw it at him.

Mu Jiaojiao smiled unconsciously: "What are you doing here?"

"If something like this happens in the future, you won't do the same to me, right?" Cui Pu asked in a low voice.

It turned out that he was hurting something like that because of Wei Zhuang!

Mu Jiaojiao only asked him: "Will you be unconditionally biased towards Auntie, will you do whatever she asks?"

Cui Pu immediately smiled and rubbed over again. "I'm not born to A-Niang, how can she make random demands on me? And A-Niang is not that kind of person, and I'm not the eldest son like my eldest brother-in-law, and I need to take care of all aspects! I just need to guard you, and the two of us can live a good life, and I don't bother to care about what other people say!"

"Then you were so cautious just now!"

"I was scared when this kind of thing happened!" Cui Pu whispered, "It's all men, I won't let myself think about it in the situation of my eldest brother-in-law." Actually, it's not easy for him. ”

"Then will it be easier for my sister?" Mu Jiaojiao's face sank.

"Of course it's not easy, it's not easy for anyone, and it's not easy for us!" Cui Pu suddenly stabbed the hornet's nest and quickly hugged her tightly, "Let's not talk about other people's things." You've been with my aunt today, and you ignored me, and now you should accompany me well!"

......

In a blink of an eye, on the fifteenth day of the lunar month, Cui Pu set up a banquet in the Yueyue Building to invite the county squires to drink. At the banquet, Cui Pu naturally mentioned what he was doing now.

"At this time, it is a matter of people's livelihood, but also a major event related to the country's social welfare, this county thinks, as a squire of Tianchang County, you should also make some support for the development of this county, what do you think?"

The squires had already prepared for this, and they reached out to touch the red envelopes that had been prepared earlier.

At this time, Jiang Guangda was the first to stand up: "The county has good intentions for the food and clothing of the people of my Tianchang County, how can we not show it? ”

So saying, he ordered his slave to bring a wooden box full of gold leaves.

Seeing this, the others couldn't help but have a flash in their eyes, and the hand reaching for the purse stopped.

"Please forgive me, we didn't know there was such a thing when we came. However, since it is a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people, we must fully support it. Now we'll call someone back to get the money, and the money will be there soon!" said one of the squires, and the others echoed in unison.

Cui Pu bowed: "You have a heart." ”

With that, he lowered his eyes, and his eyes gradually darkened.

He's got a lot out of the night. In addition to Jiang Guangda's 1,000 guan, other squires also gave generous gifts, and the donations ranged from 500 to 100 guan. He ordered someone to write down the amount of money donated by these people, and when he went back and counted it carefully, he received almost 5,000 yuan of money that night!

That's almost double the amount he had expected.

In the face of such a high amount, his mood is not very good.

Mu Jiaojiao found out and asked, "What's the matter? Didn't you design this thing a long time ago? Now that the results are remarkable, you should be happy!"

"The squires weren't going to donate that much. It's all because Master Jiang took the lead in giving a thousand guan. With him in the lead, although the other people's amount did not dare to cross him, it could not be much less than him, so they temporarily took some money from home to make up for it. I originally expected that Master Jiang would donate a maximum of 500 yuan, but now it is ...... 1,000 yuan," Cui Pu sighed, "I always feel that he will not come up with such a large sum of money so easily." ”

"So what do you think he needs you to do for him?"

"This ......," Cui Pu paused, "I don't know. ”

Mu Jiaojiao glanced at him: "Since you can't guess, let's wait." He has already taken the initiative to attack, which means that he is not far from making a request. ”

"yes, not far away. Cui Pu sighed and turned around suddenly, "I remembered that there was another thing, I'll go find Mr. Zhuang first!"

"Lady, why does the maid think that Lang Jun seems to be a little wrong just now?" Seeing this, Hongdou leaned into Mu Jiaojiao's ear and whispered.

The corners of Mu Jiaojiao's lips hooked: "I can see it." ”

"Could it be, what did Lang Jun and Master Jiang do in the days after you left, lady?"

"I don't know. Whatever they do, though, the answer should soon be revealed. "Mu Jiaojiao's spirit is in the way.

Time passes day by day, the New Year is approaching, and the taste of the New Year in Tianchang County is getting heavier and heavier.

On the day of the New Year, the yamen was sealed, and the squires and ladies in the county came to Mu Jiaojiao to congratulate the New Year.

Mrs. Jiang brought Mrs. Jiang again.

It's just that this time, Mrs. Jiang didn't keep coming to Mu Jiaojiao and talking to her as before, but sat quietly beside Mrs. Jiang and didn't say a word for a long time.

After talking to everyone, Mu Jiaojiao left them to eat. When a dish of West Lake vinegar fish was served, Jiang Xiaoniang's face turned pale and she immediately rushed out.

Seeing this, Mrs. Jiang hurriedly chased after her.

Mu Jiaojiao's eyelashes drooped slightly, and she only instructed Hongdou: "Call someone to see this, don't let Mrs. Jiang and Little Lady Jiang get lost." ”

Red Bean hurriedly agreed.

After about a cup of tea, Mrs. Jiang helped the little lady Jiang who had a white face to come back.

"I'm sorry everyone, my Jiu Niang's stomach is not very good these days, and she is sick again. It's our fault that disturbs everyone's Yaxing. Mrs. Jiang laughed with her, and then told Mrs. Jiang to step forward and admit her mistake.

Mu Jiaojiao looked at the little lady Jiang who walked over, and suddenly lifted her lips and smiled: "Little lady Jiang, you just vomited so much, is it really just gastrointestinal discomfort, not pregnant?"

Jiang Xiaoniang's body stiffened, and she immediately knelt down in front of Mu Jiaojiao: "Madam, the little girl didn't mean it! That night, the county respected him and got drunk and mistook the little girl for you, so he ......."

Rumble!

These words are like a firecracker thrown into a raging fire, and instantly sparks are scattered.

The other squires and ladies were full of embarrassment, and hurriedly got up to say goodbye. Mu Jiaojiao said, "Everyone, please stay." How can there be no testimony for such an important matter? Since you are here today, you can simply stay and help us testify!"

The squires were suddenly even more embarrassed. It's just that Mu Jiaojiao has already spoken, and they can only sit back with a dry smile.

Mu Jiaojiao looked down at the little lady Jiang who was already crying: "Tell me, what is going on?"

"It's, it's ......" Jiang Xiaoniang's face was full of shame, and she couldn't say anything.

Mrs. Jiang said: "Please forgive me, Mrs. County, the little girl is thin-faced, she really can't say it, let me talk about it!"

"Since she has already done this, what else can't she say?" Mu Jiaojiao smiled, "Actually, if you don't say it, I can guess it." But after I left, you invited him to drink at the house, and he drank too much, so he stopped at your house. It's just that somehow, I slept with Mrs. Jiang in a daze, didn't I?"

Little Lady Jiang covered her face and sobbed, only Madame Jiang nodded with a red face.

Mu Jiaojiao chuckled: "There are a few things I can't figure out." Even if my husband stays in your mansion, he will definitely sleep in the guest room. The guest room should be very far away from the little lady's boudoir, right? How did he get mixed up with Jiang Xiaoniang on a big night? Moreover, even if the two of them bumped into each other by various coincidences, dare to ask my husband how he regarded Jiang Xiaoniang as mine? Are the two of us so similar?"

"That's because the little girl has always admired you, Madame, so she specially asked someone to make a few clothes like Madame and you. That night, the little girl wore one of them. Little Lady Jiang choked up.

"That's right!" Mu Jiaojiao smiled again.

If she was angry, they might feel better. But now Mu Jiaojiao did not show a trace of anger from beginning to end, but talked to them with a smile and a calm heart, as if she was talking about the affairs of other men. Such a calm expression made everyone present tremble, and they couldn't sit still.

Little Lady Jiang was also too scared.

Things didn't go the way she expected, and she was completely overwhelmed by what to do now.

Gritting her teeth, she quickly raised her head and looked at Mu Jiaojiao with hazy teary eyes: "Madam, the little girl has always admired the county honor. I just know that the county and your husband and wife are in love, and they can't tolerate others. The little girl never dared to climb the county honor, and that night was just because she couldn't help it, she just wanted to see him, but who knows...... Originally, the little girl wanted to forget about this as a dream, but who knew that last month, the little girl suddenly found that she had the flesh and blood of the county in her belly, and she had to ...... The little girl doesn't ask for anything else, but asks Mrs. you to give the little girl a place to live in this backyard, so that the little girl can give birth to this child safely. When the child is born, I promise not to see him again, nor do I recognize him. He is Madame, you and the child of the county, and he has nothing to do with the little girl!"
