024: Winning Beautifully
When Mu Qingli said this, her eyes were filled with expectation, yearning, and envy.
This short sentence made Mu Hongyan's face darken to the extreme.
Marrying an old man over fifty years old has always been a thorn in her heart.
Let me ask, who doesn't want to marry for love?
Unfortunately, Mu Qingli seemed to not see the change in Mu Hongyan's expression. She said curiously:
"Sister, why don't you say anything? Isn't it good to marry a rich man? Although I heard from my sixth sister that my brother-in-law is as old as our father, he is rich after all. If it were me, I would be so happy..."
Mu Lan Ke's face on the side was also very ugly. Mu Qingli, this little bitch, why did she say everything!
I don't know if she is really stupid or pretending to be stupid!
If you really offend Mu Hongyan, it will not be a good thing!
Mu Lan Ke immediately stopped her and said, "Sixth sister, what are you talking about? When did I say such a thing?" As she spoke, she squinted at Mu Qingli, hoping that Mu Qingli could understand what she meant.
But Mu Qingli seemed to not understand her eyes, and said in confusion, "Sixth sister, why are you squinting? Are you uncomfortable?"
Mu Lan Ke was about to be mad at Mu Qingli, and she immediately explained to Mu Hongyan, "Sister, I didn't say these words, and I don't know where Fifth Sister heard them from. You also know that country people are always gossipy. Fifth Sister just came back from the country, sister, don't take it to heart..." Mu Hongyan
stood there condescendingly, listening to Mu Lan Ke's explanation, the anger on her face was slowly fading, and only disgust for Mu Qingli remained in her eyes.
Country people are country people! They just know how to gossip!
Hearing this, Mu Qingli's jade-like face wrinkled into a ball, and she said very aggrievedly: "Sixth sister, you clearly told me these words... I didn't even know who my elder sister was before... You also advised me to marry a handsome man of the same age in the future, and never follow my elder sister's old path, and said that old men are disgusting... Sixth sister, why don't you admit it now?"
As she spoke, a layer of mist appeared in Mu Qingli's eyes, and she looked very innocent.
Mu Lan Ke stood aside, with a layer of sinister light in her eyes. If eyes could kill, Mu Qingli would have died several times.
This little bitch!
Why is she so troublesome!
Mu Hongyan's face finally eased, but in Mu Qingli's words, it became extremely ugly again in an instant.
Mu Qingli had just returned from the countryside. If no one could tell her, how could she know what kind of person she married?
She thought that Li Qingxiang and her daughter were quiet, but she didn't expect that they would actually make up stories about her behind her back!
Disgusting old man.
Mu Lan Ke really dared to say that!
"Listen to me, big sister, it's not like that, I really didn't..." Mu Lan Ke explained with red eyes.
Mu Hongyan had a cold face, and she was not willing to listen to Mu Lan Ke's explanation.
In the previous life, Mu Hongyan and Mu Lan Ke were in cahoots with each other, teaming up to take away her identity and kill Yi Cai! In this life, she will let them fight each other.
Mu Qingli raised her eyebrows slightly, and a touch of evil flashed in her lowered eyes. She grabbed Mu Hongyan's other arm, her little face was red, but in the blink of an eye, her eyes became misty, and she continued to add fuel to the fire.
"Big sister, Sixth sister said that as long as you are beautiful, you can marry a very rich tycoon. She said that someone like me can marry a billionaire in his seventies or eighties! Big sister, is Sixth sister true? Can I really marry a billionaire?"
Mu Lanke's face was livid with anger. She never expected that Mu Qingli would say all the words, "Fifth sister, when did I say such a thing! Don't slander me!"
Some words are one thing to say secretly, and another thing to say them openly.
Mu Hongyan's face became more and more ugly. The building was about to collapse and the storm was about to come.
Now Mu Lanke was almost certain that Mu Qingli, the little bitch, did it on purpose!
"Fifth sister..." Mu Qingli looked at Mu Lanke with a face of grievance, "Didn't you tell me that I could marry an old man in his seventies or eighties like Big Sister?"
"What nonsense are you talking about! When did I say that Big Brother-in-law is an old man in his seventies or eighties!" Mu Lanke's eyes were blazing with fire, and her voice increased by several decibels.
Mu Qingli was frightened by the sudden voice and trembled all over, just like a frightened little white rabbit. She twisted her hands together and said with red eyes: "Sixth sister, I'm sorry... Did I say something wrong? If so, I apologize to you here..."
"Pretend! You are still pretending!" Mu Lan Ke frowned and tried to calm herself down. She couldn't lose her composure because of Mu Qingli's words.
"I didn't..." Mu Qingli raised her sparkling eyes.
"Sister, don't believe her!" Mu Lan Ke grabbed Mu Hongyan's hand.
Mu Hongyan coldly shook off Mu Lan Ke's hand, "I have eyes and can tell right from wrong! You don't need to explain here!" After she finished speaking, she grabbed Mu Qingli's hand and said softly: "Fifth sister, come with me, sister has something to tell you."
Although Mu Hongyan looked down on Mu Qingli, she still put on a show. Besides, Mu Qingli had just returned, so she had to give her a warning!
Otherwise, Mu Qingli would never know who was the real master of this family!
"Sister!" Mu Lan Ke looked at the backs of the two people and stomped her feet unwillingly.
It took her nearly a year to finally get close to Mu Hongyan, but she didn't expect that Mu Qingli would disintegrate all of Mu Hongyan's trust in her with just a few words!
Good!
Very good!
Mu Qingli, you wait! One day, I will personally peel off your skin and dig out your heart, and return ten times the pain I endured in my last life!
Thinking of this, Mu Lan Ke clenched her hands, and her knuckles turned slightly white due to excessive force.
Mu Hongyan took Mu Lan Ke to the study on the third floor, looked down at Mu Qingli, and spoke in a cold voice.
"Since Dad has taken you back, you will be the fifth lady of the Mu family in the future. The Mu family is not like other small families. You must be careful in what you say and do in the future, and don't always have a shameful petty spirit! You can't afford to lose the face of the Mu family!"
Mu Qingli lowered her eyes, and her long and thick eyelashes covered the emotions in her eyes. After a moment, she nodded gently.
Mu Hongyan then took a book and threw it in front of Mu Qingli, "Do you know what book this is?"
"'Female Commandments'..." Mu Qingli tugged at the corner of her clothes nervously, looked at the words on the cover, and answered in a low voice.
Mu Hongyan had a cold face, "Do you know what 'Female Commandments' is about?"
"I don't know." Mu Qingli shook her head slightly.
Mu Hongyan looked superior, with disdain in her eyes, and then squinted her eyes and spoke.
"'Female Commandments' talks about the Three Obediences and Four Virtues. The Three Obediences are: obey your father before marriage, obey your husband after marriage, and obey your son after your husband's death! Since you were born in the Mu family, you must put the interests of the Mu family first and be proud of the Mu family! As long as the Mu family needs you, you must be ready to sacrifice at any time! Did you hear that?"
What a great Three Obediences and Four Virtues, what a great way to put the interests of the Mu family first, be proud of the Mu family, and be ready to sacrifice for the Mu family at any time!
Mu Hongyan really dared to say that!
Mu Qingli raised her eyes slightly, with doubt flashing in her clear eyes, "Sister, what you said seems to be wrong. I remember that the Three Obediences and Four Virtues came from "Yili·Sangfu·Zixia Biography", which is one of the Thirteen Classics of Confucianism, while the author of "Nujie" is the writer Ban Zhao from the Eastern Han Dynasty!"
