Chapter 161 This is your chance of survival
Aunt Song's face suddenly looked a little bad. She hesitated for a while and asked, "That medicine is too strong. Isn't there a milder one that can make him lose his fertility without affecting other things..."
"Auntie, you can't have both the cloud and the bear's paw."
Looking at Aunt Song with a half-smile, Mu Jinghe was so shameless towards her that she was thinking about "other things" in front of his own son. He immediately looked down on her to the extreme.
He couldn't help but sneer: "How many young and beautiful women does your father want in his backyard? Even if he is still strong, do you think he will stay with you for long?"
"."
After realizing what Mu Jinghe said, Aunt Song's face instantly turned red, as red as Bao Gong. She felt ashamed and regretful for what she had said before, and was even a little angry.
But before she could vent her anger, she heard Mu Jinghe continue to speak mercilessly: "You are the culprit who caused the separation of father and mother. Didn't you say it yourself that he didn't dote on you as much as you pretended?
Then have you never thought that he has been doting on you for so many years, but it is possible that he is just too lazy to change the play? Now that the people who watch the play are gone, will he easily step into your yard again in the future? "
"I am your mother after all. I just said something wrong. Why are you so persistent and so merciless that you can't even spare my face?"
Aunt Song was so embarrassed that she finally lost her temper and glared at Mu Jinghe unkindly.
"The sooner this is done, the better. It would be best if father could take the medicine tonight. Otherwise, you should know the consequences without me telling you."
It's not the time to turn against Aunt Song yet. No, she is your biological mother, what will happen to you if you turn against her?
From a legitimate son to a bastard, he was already despised by the Kuang family. Was he going to be talked about again, and even his biological mother despised him?
Mu Jinghe felt a fire in his heart, which was getting stronger and stronger, because Song Yi Niang dared to stare at him. She was really getting arrogant and pretending to be his biological mother. However, he suppressed it.
He took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms and handed it to Aunt Song. He took a deep breath and ignored Aunt Song's words, and said to her solemnly: "No matter what, I am still my father's biological son.
Before he remarries and has a legitimate son, my position in this mansion is not bad for the time being. At most, I will be ignored and wronged.
But you are different. If there is no change, let alone whether you will be truly stuck in the mud and never be able to turn over, right now, given your father's temper, I'm afraid you can't even survive his rage."
He looked at Aunt Song and said word by word: "This is your only chance of survival."
"I know. I'll find a way to get him to take the medicine tonight."
Although she felt embarrassed before and had some dissatisfaction with Mu Jinghe, Aunt Song knew that what he said was right. Only when Mu Heng knew that he was no longer useful to her would her life not be in danger.
She hadn't thought so far before. She just thought that even if she was punished temporarily, as long as her son was there, she would be able to turn things around sooner or later for her son's sake.
She thought that once Mu Heng remarried and gave birth to a legitimate son, Mu Jinghe, as a man, would have a hard time in this marquis's mansion, even if the legitimate son became a bastard's son. However, the servants in this mansion did not dare to treat him too harshly.
Even if he can't bear it anymore, as long as he can make up his mind to leave, there may be other ways to succeed.
But she couldn't wait any longer. Without her love and her son to rely on, once she was punished by Mu Heng, those people who flattered the powerful and bullied the weak would make her life worse than death.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 162 Another Bolt from the Blue
Aunt Song thought about what would happen if she lost even her son as a support.
For the rest of her life, she might just want to live a good life with enough food and clothes. She doesn't have to worry about who will bully her for fun when they are unhappy. This is probably a luxury for her. She has thought about many things, but she didn't expect that before that, it's hard to say whether Mu Heng will take her life first in a rage.
Holding the porcelain bottle tightly, Aunt Song knew that she had to make Mu Heng take the medicine tonight no matter what the cost, if not for anything else, just for her own chance of survival.
"That's good."
Seeing Aunt Song's expression, he knew that she had put aside all her other messy thoughts and had thought clearly. Mu Jinghe finally nodded with relief, and after achieving his goal, he didn't say any more words to her and just walked away.
"He'er..."
Seeing that Mu Jinghe left without any regrets, Aunt Song came to her senses and hurriedly called him: "Even if you take this medicine, your father will definitely punish you. Don't forget to speak well of me in front of your father when the time comes."
"Don't worry, I will."
Hearing that Concubine Song dared to call herself "mother" to him, Mu Jinghe felt even more disgusted with her and was filled with grief and indignation - why? Why could such a person be his biological mother? If it wasn't for this woman, how could he have fallen from the sky overnight and become a laughing stock in the entire capital?
But don't mention that I still need her now. Even for the sake of my reputation in the future, I can't really do anything to her?
Standing still, Mu Jinghe did not look back. He closed his eyes and opened them again before saying, "Don't call yourself mother in front of me in the future. This is a big mistake according to the rules. We still have to be careful in our current situation and can't let others catch us easily."
Aunt Song: "..."
She gritted her teeth, stared at Mu Jinghe's back, and finally laughed bitterly: "Okay, I'll listen to you. After this incident, we should all be more cautious now and not let others make mistakes easily."
"It's good that you know. Don't feel wronged. After all, I am your biological son. What you did is wrong in the eyes of others, but it is a great favor to me.
After all, you not only gave birth to me, but also gave me the grace of rebirth. In the future, as long as I can successfully inherit the Marquisate, you will naturally have a good life. "
Hearing the grief and dissatisfaction in Aunt Song's voice, Mu Jinghe did not dare to take the risk of letting her think too much while he was using her, so he chose to comfort her with kind words.
"He'er...Okay, okay, mother, auntie is waiting."
With just a few words, Mu Jinghe made the sadness in Concubine Song's heart disappear completely. Thinking that this was her own son after all, and that he had her in his heart and was thinking of her well, she immediately smiled and said excitedly.
With his back to Aunt Song, Mu Jinghe nodded expressionlessly, then raised his foot and continued to walk out.
"Young Master, something bad has happened. You should go back quickly. Lord Hou is looking for you. He even took the key to your private vault from me." Seeing Mu Jinghe coming out, Chang Gui immediately rushed up and said.
"What did you say? Why would my father come to take the key to my private vault for no reason?"
His heart skipped a beat. From a legitimate son to a bastard, his private vault was his last resort. If he lost even that...
Mu Jinghe's brain suddenly exploded. He was stunned by the sudden shock. He grabbed Chang Gui by the collar and said, "Tell me clearly, what is going on?"
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 163 Reminder
"Yes, it's Master Hou. Master Hou came with those people from the Kuang family." Chang Gui said stutteringly.
"They came together?"
After falling from the sky into the mud, Mu Jinghe's brain reaction speed seemed to have become much faster. He guessed it almost exactly after hearing what he said.
He was startled, his face turned pale, and he felt a chill all over his body.
Could it be that the Kuang family would even take back the things they had given him over the years? If so, what would he have left after they took back all those things? The Kuang family had a lot of assets, and what they gave him might not even be a drop in the bucket. He had never expected that the Kuang family would actually want to take back the things he didn't value.
Those things were nothing to the Kuang family, but they were extremely important to him now. Without his status and the money that came from those businesses, what could he do with the monthly salary? Would the Kuang family want to kill him? "Wait." Mu Jinghe gritted his teeth and said this, then turned around and went back into Concubine Song's inner room.
"He'er?" Aunt Song was stunned when she saw him turn around so quickly, and his expression was particularly bad. "What's wrong with you?"
"Chang Gui said that my father and the Kuang family went to my yard and took away the key to the private vault in my yard. Next, I'm afraid--" After taking a deep look at Aunt Song, Mu Jinghe turned and left without saying anything more.
He believed that after saying this, Concubine Song would definitely understand what he meant. He was not really that kind-hearted, but Concubine Song was his biological mother, and their interests were naturally connected.
If Concubine Song lost her money like him, he would not even have anyone to support him in the future. So it was for his own good to wake Concubine Song up.
Aunt Song, who was awakened, said: "..."
She stood there in a daze, then quickly reacted, jumped up, and ran straight to her private vault in a panic.
I really didn't expect that the people of the Kuang family would be so mean. Regardless of the feelings we have had over the years, they ruthlessly revealed He'er's identity and left him no way out. They were also so heartless and ungrateful that they even took back the money they had already given.
As for Lord Hou, if he could raid his son's private vault today, he would definitely not let her go.
If those things are destined to not be saved, then I have to find a way to reduce the loss. At least I have to hide those banknotes and real estate deeds somewhere else...
At this moment, Concubine Song only felt regretful, regretting that she had not kept a backup plan earlier. If she had thought of it in advance, she would have hidden some money somewhere else earlier, so that she would have had some confidence no matter what happened.
Let's not talk about Aunt Song who was busy hiding things here, and let's talk about Mu Jinghe.
"This number is wrong. The difference is too big. If the silver is not enough, I can ask you to make up the difference, but can you afford to make up for the loss of assets? I have to say that there is no business in my Kuang family that loses money. Every one of them is a golden doll that can make money."
Mu Jinghe returned to the yard, and before he saw Mu Heng and the others, he heard Old Master Kuang's loud voice saying this.
Grandfather, no, Old Master Kuang is the most generous and magnanimous person. If he hadn't heard it with his own ears, Mu Jinghe couldn't believe that these words would come out of his mouth.
It seems that I may be able to save some of my money.
Apart from the money they found, I just had to say that I had used up all the money I had put away. After all, didn't my father still cover the gap?
But the properties that I gave to Mei'er could no longer be kept.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 164 You're Welcome
Thinking that even if he managed to save the money he had put aside, he would probably have to keep a low profile in the short term and pretend to be in dire straits for a while.
Mu Jinghe quickly assessed the situation and understood what he should do next. After his face changed a lot, he finally appeared in front of Mu Heng and Old Master Kuang, Kuang Zhihai, Kuang Zhifeng, Kuang Zhihong and others.
"To my father, grandfather, eldest uncle, second uncle..."
He bowed respectfully to greet them, but before Mu Jinghe could finish his words he was interrupted by Old Master Kuang.
Old Master Kuang glared at him unhappily and said rudely, "Stop. Didn't I tell you a long time ago that you don't have to call us grandfather, uncle, or anything like that anymore? We can't stand you calling us that anymore."
"yes."
Mu Jinghe's body shook slightly, and he responded with an expression of being deeply shocked but still respectful.
"You look a lot like your biological mother. My younger sister said that your biological mother also liked to act like this, which made people feel pity and tender-hearted, and it pleased your father the most. You really are worthy of being born from her belly. You can learn some things without any teacher."
Kuang Zhihong couldn't help but take another look at Mu Jinghe's look, and then he laughed at him without any hesitation: "It's a pity that you are a man. It's okay for a woman to behave like this, but for you, haha, it's really not easy not to make people nauseous."
Mu Jinghe: "..." His face flushed instantly and he just wished there was a crack in the ground that he could crawl into.
Mu Heng: "..."
Embarrassment, that feeling of humiliation came back. He glared at Mu Jinghe fiercely and scolded him unhappily: "You still have things and money in your hand, hurry up and take them out for me."
"The bulk of the silver is here. I still have some in my room, but they are just scattered pieces of silver. The rest of the shops and farms, I have also given them to Mei'er."
Mu Jinghe spoke hesitantly, still with some hope. He hoped that after hearing that he had given the things to a woman, the others would not force him to take them back.
Unfortunately, his expectation was shattered very quickly. Without even asking the Kuang family to speak, Mu Heng said coldly, "I'm afraid that not only those shops and farms are in Song Mei'er's hands, but also most of your money is in her hands, right?"
Mu Jinghe lowered his head and remained silent after being hit by Mu Heng's words, most of the truth was revealed.
He knew that it was useless for him to deny it, as they would not believe him at all.
Actually, he did leave some silver with Song Mei'er, about 50,000 to 60,000 taels in total. But he hid even more of it himself.
Ever since Mu Heng told him that he would follow the King of Yin and win the title of "Follow the Dragon", he began to feel anxious. He did not even tell Chang Gui that he had secretly hidden some of his property in case of failure in the future. Even if he managed to escape with his life, he would still be left with nothing.
He hid the silver and other things very secretly, and he hid them all by himself. No one except himself had leaked the slightest news, and if he hadn't told others, no one would have been able to find them.
"If you don't say anything, you admit it."
Mu Heng finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the farms and shops were still there and not sold for silver, the silver notes and things in Mu Jinghe's private vault would be worth two hundred and fifty or sixty thousand silver. Add to that what he got back from Song Mei'er, even if the silver he got back was not much, the amount he needed to supplement would be very limited.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 165 Joy
Although Mu Heng didn't really believe that Mu Jinghe really only had loose silver in his hands, he was his son after all, even if he was just a bastard, he was still his son, right?
As long as he wasn't asked to fill in too much, he didn't mind keeping some money in his hand.
After all, it is easy to go from simple to luxurious, but it is difficult to go from luxurious to simple.
Now that all his property has been taken away, and without the support from Kuang Guya and the Kuang family, life will definitely be difficult.
Thinking this way, Mu Heng continued to say to Mu Jinghe: "In this case, don't delay any longer. Go now and get all the things back from Song Meir."
As he spoke, Mu Heng instructed the people around him, "Go, take two people with you and follow the young master closely, and do what's convenient for you.
In order to prevent him from being blinded by beauty again, and forgetting everything when someone cries and comforts him, we won't get anything back, and we will have to waste our time waiting for him to come again."
The important thing is that it doesn't matter if he asks someone to run another trip, at most he will just have to wait a little longer. But the worry is that the Song family is obsessed with money and wants the money more than his life, hiding the money and making him the scapegoat.
So he gave this order so that people could raid the Song family at the critical moment. No matter what, he would not be the scapegoat.
"yes."
The man next to Mu Heng understood what Mu Heng meant, and after responding respectfully, he said to Mu Jinghe with a half-smile: "Young Master, please come in."
Although he still seemed respectful to Mu Jinghe, Mu Jinghe could clearly feel that both his words and actions carried a subtle contempt for him.
At this moment, even though Mu Jinghe was prepared, his heart was still cold.
He had a wooden face and endured it silently. He didn't say a word of objection and obediently led the people away.
Song family.
Mu Jinghe's arrival, especially the fact that Po Tianfang brought people with him, surprised Song Meir.
After all, Mu Jinghe had just come a few days ago. Although he came here quite often every month, he would not come so frequently, and he would not bring people here so openly.
But today, he came, and brought people with him without any scruples. Does it mean that he doesn't have to hide his existence anymore?
Song Meir was delighted at the thought. She didn't care that the people around him hadn't left yet and ran to Mu Jinghe's side. She was a little shy and called out with a bright face, "He Lang, you're here. Would you like to stay for dinner? I'll have someone make your favorite sour fish soup, okay?"
Song Meir knew that Mu Jinghe liked her talking to him like this the most, and she would always cater to his preferences. And every time she did this, she could get what she wanted easily.
As she smiled, she remembered what her mother had just mentioned to her, asking Mu Jinghe to help find a nanny from the palace.
It is not easy for ordinary families to hire a nanny like that. Besides being rich, one must also have enough power.
My mother said that if she or my sister were lucky enough to be trained by such an old nanny for a few years, even if they could only become concubines like my aunt in the future, they would still be very proud in the hearts of men and in front of other concubines.
She was thinking about what she should say to make Mu Jinghe willingly agree. She didn't realize that she was begging him, but wanted him to be determined to do this. When she used this to cheer herself up, she heard Mu Jinghe say in a voice that was obviously tired and frustrated: "No need, my father and the others are waiting, I'll just get the things and leave."
Song Meir: "..."
Take something? Take what?
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 166: Muttering
Before Song Mei'er could ask, she heard Mu Jinghe continue, "Mei'er, where are the deeds and silver to the shops and farms that I left with you before? Give them all to me. They belong to the Kuang family. Now that the Kuang family is asking for them, I must return them."
What? Song Meir looked at Mu Jinghe with doubt and panic, blinked, and looked at a loss.
Those things, weren't those things Mu Jinghe had agreed to give to me first? How could I just take them back?
The meat has already been eaten, and she is asked to spit it out. Don't say she doesn't want to, even if she is willing.
But those things, especially the silver, are not all in her hands. Now Mu Jinghe suddenly comes to ask for it, what can she give him back? Song Meier is still young after all. Although she has been taught by her mother, her mind is deeper than that of ordinary girls. But after all, at this age, she has not learned how to hide her emotions well when things are beyond her expectations.
So her thoughts were clearly revealed without any hesitation.
All the changes in Song Meir's expression were seen by Mu Jinghe and the people who followed him.
The people who followed Mu Jinghe came here because they saw that Mu Jinghe was still the only young master in the mansion. And this was the young master's golden house, and the woman in front of them was the young master's canary.
If the young master could finally solve the problem by himself and take the things and money back, they would not want to lose face for him too much, so they would just close their eyes and pretend they didn't see it.
So when faced with the change in Song Meir's expression, the people who came with Mu Jinghe just watched, and no one jumped out to raise any questions.
On the contrary, it was Mu Jinghe himself. After today's incident, Mu Jinghe had grown up quickly and was no longer the Mu Jinghe of the past. At this time, he saw that Song Meir was not as indifferent to money as he had remembered. Instead, she seemed reluctant to take out the things he had given her.
His face immediately fell, and he asked in a sharp voice: "Why? You don't want to?"
"How come?"
Seeing that Mu Jinghe was still in front of others, his entire face changed, and he was obviously embarrassed. Song Meier reacted with a start, thinking that Mu Jinghe was a very face-conscious person by nature. She was really wrong not to give him face in front of others.
Afraid that Mu Jinghe would get tired of her from now on, Song Meir's tears welled up in anxiety. She looked at Mu Jinghe with tears in her eyes and sobbed, "He Lang, how could I not want to? It's just, just..."
"Just what?" Seeing Song Meir looking aggrieved and hesitant, Mu Jinghe for the first time did not feel pity for her. Instead, he felt an irritation towards Song Meir that he had never felt before.
He frowned and asked impatiently.
"He Lang, can we go to the room and talk slowly?"
Song Meir was sensitive to Mu Jinghe's mood changes. She bit her lower lip and glared at the people following Mu Jinghe before pulling up Mu Jinghe's collar and speaking weakly.
As she spoke, she was still muttering in her heart, why are these people that Mu Jinghe brought this time so ignorant? So tactless? Didn't they see that the master didn't want them around? With them staring at her like this, how could she talk to Mu Jinghe properly?
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 167 Urge
With a pout, Song Meir pulled Mu Jinghe's collar and shook it unwillingly.
How annoying. With someone around, I couldn't even reach out to hold Mu Jinghe's hand, otherwise... Song Meir's face was flushed with morning glow, and she glanced at Mu Jinghe shyly and angrily.
If it were any other day, Song Meir's extremely charming look would have made Mu Jinghe lose control and he would have let her say whatever she wanted.
But at this moment - thinking of Mu Heng's order to those people, he knew that even if he asked them to do so, they would not retreat. Mu Jinghe felt his face burning, how could he open his mouth? With a slight anger on his face that he had never had before when facing Song Mei'er, he said coldly: "I told you to get it, so go get it. Why are you talking so much nonsense? Hurry up, father and the others are waiting."
"He Lang, are you angry with me? Wuuuu, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you angry..." Mu Jinghe shocked Song Meir with his anger. When she reacted, she burst into sobs, looking even sadder than if her parents had died.
Mu Jinghe: "..."
The people following Mu Jinghe: "..."
Those people looked at each other, then looked at Mu Jinghe whose face had turned completely black, and they all remained silent and continued to watch the show.
"Those shops and farms belong to the Kuang family. Now the Kuang family wants to take them back, so you have to take them out even if you don't want to." Seeing Song Meir like this, Mu Jinghe no longer had any of the sympathy he had in the past, only waves of irritation.
I originally thought that Song Meir was different from other women who only cared about money.
The more different she was, the more he wanted to present everything to her. He had insisted on giving all those things and money to Song Meir.
But after this incident, Mu Jinghe suddenly felt that he had overestimated Song Meir. In fact, Song Meir was no different from other greedy women, but her methods were more sophisticated than theirs, which made him unable to see through her before.
Mu Jinghe felt a surge of anger in his heart, as well as a deep sense of shame for having seen the person in front of him clearly and having been deceived.
But now was not the time to get angry, he knew that if he kept it a secret and didn't make it clear to Song Meir, he wasn't afraid that Song Meir and the Song family would embezzle the money.
After all, a lean camel is bigger than a horse.
No matter how poor and miserable Mu Jinghe was, he was still superior to Song Meir and the Song family, and was not someone whose status and position could make them look down upon.
But if you don't tell the truth and continue to pester her, it will only make the matter worse and end up being laughed at and losing face.
With patience, Mu Jinghe pulled Song Meir aside and lowered his voice: "Take out the deeds of those shops and farms, and I will take half of the money I gave you.
Those people were sent by my father to follow us. They will not leave us alone without getting what we want. If you delay any longer, they will have my father's order and can do whatever they want.
I'm afraid that by then he won't even give me face and will just start searching on his own. Then he won't even be able to keep the remaining half of the silver."
"?"
Song Meir had a big question mark in her mind and looked at Mu Jinghe in surprise, not understanding what he said.
"Go quickly, why are you still in a daze?" Mu Jinghe became even more annoyed and urged impatiently.
"Isn't the Kuang family your maternal family? How, how could it be? Why would they suddenly want to take back the things they gave you?"
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 168 Change
After being urged repeatedly, Song Meir finally reacted and asked with some difficulty.
I kept asking, didn't I just want to take back the things I had put here before? Why did Song Meier keep asking and refusing to take out the things even though I had explained it so clearly?
Mu Jinghe's face became ferocious. At this moment, he had completely forgotten about those things of his. He had originally agreed to "give" them to Song Meir.
He glared at Song Meir fiercely, and suddenly laughed bitterly: "Kuang family, huh, the Kuang family is not my maternal family. To be honest, your Song family is my maternal family.
I was supposed to be a bastard, but my biological mother, your biological aunt, was very clever and switched me with Mu Qingyin. She turned me, a bastard, into the eldest legitimate son.
He was not content with turning Mu Qingyin, a legitimate daughter, into a concubine's daughter, and he tried his best to humiliate her, and tricked her into going to the family temple. As a result, on the way there, the carriage overturned and she fell off a cliff, but she survived the disaster and was adopted by the Kuang family by coincidence. "
Taking a deep breath, Mu Jinghe's face was filled with grief and indignation, and he laughed at himself: "So now you can see that I am no longer the legitimate son of the Yuehou Mansion. My mother wants to divorce my father, and I will also spit out everything that is not mine.
As for you, your Song family. The Kuang family has shown great mercy by not pursuing my aunt. If they knew that you still dared to seize the Kuang family's shop and farm, then even I would not be able to save you."
"How could this be?" Song Meir took a step back in shock, and said in a distraught voice.
Mu Jinghe is no longer the legitimate son of Yuejiang Marquis, so he will no longer be Yuejiang Marquis in the future. He will only be a lowly bastard with no inheritance rights. Then, in the future, won't I only be a concubine of a bastard who needs to look up to others everywhere?
For a moment, Song Meir felt as if struck by lightning, and her whole body felt icy cold.
She had always known that because she was slightly inferior to her younger sister in appearance, her younger sister would enter the Prince Yin's mansion in the future, and it was hard to say whether she would become the emperor's concubine. But she could only be the eldest son of the Yuejiang Marquis's mansion and the future Yuejiang Marquis.
Originally, Song Meir did not feel much resentment towards this result.
Because although she was not as pretty as her sister, the man her aunt chose for her was of high status. Moreover, her aunt privately treated her better than her sister because of this.
She was confused at first, but now she thinks that every time her aunt looks at her, it's as if she's looking at her daughter-in-law...
Song Meir's face began to change as she thought randomly. She didn't know that Mu Jinghe was watching her coldly at the moment, and the look in his eyes was getting colder and colder.
"Do you understand that if you don't take the things out today, it will cause a disaster. No one will be able to protect you and your Song family?"
Mu Jinghe felt that he had exhausted all his patience with Song Meir.
He clenched his fists, forcing himself to continue to be patient, but he couldn't bear it anymore and angrily said: "Why are you standing here in a daze instead of going to get the things?"
"He Lang, it's not that I don't want to get the things, it's that most of those things are with my parents." Shocked by Mu Jinghe's temper, Song Meir could only tell the truth when she saw that she could no longer hide it.
"Those are the things I gave you, why don't you keep them for your parents?"
Mu Jinghe was furious, and felt more and more that he had been blinded by confusion in the past. He could not help but feel that Song Meir, who was not stunningly beautiful but just pretty, was extremely pleasing to his eyes and won his heart.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 169 See Clearly
......Pooh.
Mu Jinghe spat at himself in his heart. Thinking about how he had given so much to Song Meir but hadn't really gotten to her yet, he felt that he was extremely stupid to be led by such a woman.
"Well, that's because I'm a woman. I can't go out on weekdays, let alone manage the people in the shops and farms.
He Lang, you don't know how cunning and greedy they are. If my parents don't take out the real estate deeds to pressure them and let them know who owns the shop and farm now, they will not obey orders at all, let alone take out the profits. "
Wiping away her tears, Song Meir sobbed and said, "You are the son of Yuejiang Marquis's Mansion. They haven't seen you yet, but they are scared just by hearing about you. You don't know the difficulties of a small family at all.
Even though my parents had the real estate deeds, didn't the managers still ignore them? My parents swallowed their anger, and in the end, most of the interest they got went into their pockets. "
"Alright, alright, stop talking about these nonsense. Since the things are all with your parents, just go and ask them to bring them over."
Holding back the urge to kill, Mu Jinghe waved his hand and said to Song Meir, "I'll wait for you here. Otherwise, they'll follow me wherever I go, which won't be convenient for you, right?"
Having said that, the truth was that Mu Jinghe was too impatient to deal with Song Meir's parents again and reveal his true life story in front of them.
"......good."
Seeing that Mu Jinghe was already impatient, Song Meir did not dare to really anger him. Knowing that things had come to this point, she really could not help but keep those things.
So she wiped away her tears, pretended to be strong and smiled at Mu Jinghe: "Then I'll go."
If it were any other time, Mu Jinghe would definitely feel distressed and sympathetic towards Song Meir's behavior, but now he felt nothing in his heart and just nodded lightly.
Song Meir was completely unaware of Mu Jinghe's inner changes and only thought that his abnormal irritability was due to the change in his status.
If it were usual, seeing Mu Jinghe like this, she would have used all her skills to coax him. But now she was thinking about those things and money, and thinking about the future.
The thought that she had both ability and talent, but was inferior to her younger sister just because of her inferior appearance, made her unwilling to accept it. How could she have the extra energy to coax Mu Jinghe, whose value had plummeted?
With this unwillingness, Song Meir hurried to her parents' yard.
Seeing her coming, Song Mei'er's father Song Facai immediately widened his eyes and scolded unhappily: "Why are you running here when Master Mu is here? If you make him unhappy, I will skin you alive."
"Father, I'm here to get the real estate deeds to those shops and farms."
Song Mei'er was not afraid of Song Facai's words. She showed a strange and sarcastic expression and said unhappily, "Your nephew is waiting with his men."
"My nephew? What do you mean by my nephew? He is the eldest son of the Yuejiang Marquis. Mei'er, although your aunt is the Yuejiang Marquis's concubine, Mu Jinghe is not her son. He has nothing to do with our Song family. If he hears you saying this, be careful that he will be angry with you."
He looked around nervously, and when he saw that no one was nearby and heard what he said, Song Facai finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Chapter 170 Song Facai, a man who knows the times
Raising his hand, Song Facai angrily pretended to hit Song Meir: "You damn girl, you are getting more and more daring. Master Mu is still ahead. If you are so unruly and he sees you and despises you, just wait and see how your mother and I will deal with you."
No matter whether Song Facai was pretending or not, Song Meir would not just stand there and let him beat her.
She dodged, Mu Jinghe was still there, and Song Meir was waiting for him, so how could Song Facai really hit her? So when he saw her dodge, Song Facai immediately put down his hand and said, "Your mother is in the kitchen asking someone to go shopping.
She also said that she would cook for Mr. Mu's favorite dishes. Don't worry about the house deeds and land deeds. Ask him why he came to get them. As long as you coax him a few words, I'm afraid he will forget about it naturally without any effort. "
"Dad, why didn't you understand? Mu Jinghe was born to my aunt."
In front of her biological father, Song Meir was too lazy to pretend. She rolled her eyes and told Mu Jinghe's true background and the real reason why he came to get the house deeds, land deeds and silver.
After she finished speaking, Song Meir suddenly realized something and asked Song Facai nervously, "Dad, aunt is so brave that she even dares to do such a thing. Do you think she will cause trouble for us?"
"...Discovered, how could he be discovered?" Song Facai's face turned pale as soon as he heard Song Meir's story about Mu Jinghe's true life story. He almost couldn't stand and muttered in despair.
There's something wrong with Dad. Could it be that he already knew about Mu Jinghe's background?
But, even if I knew it earlier, what would it matter? Song Meier had this thought in her mind. However, this thought was only fleeting and did not stay for long.
She frowned and said impatiently, "Dad, don't just stand there. We have to take this thing out now. Otherwise, let alone Yuejiang Marquis Mansion, if the people from the Kuang family say even the slightest word, our whole family will not be able to bear it. Yuejiang Marquis Mansion can't even protect us."
Things are different now. Mu Jinghe is no longer the eldest son of Yuejiang Marquisate. Even though he is his biological cousin, his status has become less important and he can no longer protect himself and his family.
When Song Meir thought about having to follow such an incompetent person in the future, she suddenly became worried about being implicated by Mu Jinghe and her aunt Song Yi Niang, and became discouraged.
"I'll get it."
Song Facai was far more experienced and more aware of the current situation than Song Meir. He reacted immediately after hearing what was said. Even though he felt very sad, he didn't say a word and went into the house to get the things.
"All the property deeds you brought are here, and there is also 60,000 taels of silver. 30,000 taels are what you brought, and the remaining 30,000 taels are the income from the shop and the farm."
After hesitating for a while, Song Facai whispered, "These are not all, you just need to know the number. If it's Mu, Mu Jinghe, and he asks, just tell him that the rest are all spent."
Song Facai sighed and felt as if he had gone from being a wealthy man to just being able to make ends meet overnight. If possible, he really didn't want to hand over these things.
But he also knew that if he didn't hand these over, his entire family might lose their lives.
He closed his eyes and waved his hand reluctantly: "Let's go, let's go, take the things and leave quickly."
"."
There were actually 60,000 taels of silver? When Mu Jinghe gave it to me, he also gave me another 60,000 taels of silver in cash. I secretly kept half of it and only gave 30,000 taels to my parents.
How long has it been? Dad actually said that this is not all. Then how much is all?
