3335 Ridiculous

As witnesses to the scene, the Crown Prince and the little Crown Princess were also invited by Mu Qingya...

Although Crown Prince Mo had absolutely no interest in the affairs of the back courtyard, his little wife loved a good spectacle.

Seeing her eyes sparkling, looking like a curious child, the Crown Prince found it quite amusing. He simply agreed to Mu Qingya's request, took his wife, and followed along to continue watching the show.

A large group followed Mu Dongni to the place where the gold was buried.

Mu Qingya waved her hand and instructed the group of rough female laborers behind her, "Dig! Dig up everything under this tree!"

The bruised and battered Madam Hua quickly stepped forward, grinning through her teeth. "Eldest Sister-in-law! This, this is perfectly fine, why dig up the tree? This old willow tree has been here for decades. If we dig up this tree for our own matters and ruin our Mu family's feng shui, this, this might not be good, right?"

Mu Dongni was no fool either. Seeing Madam Hua's evasiveness and hesitant tone, she immediately understood a bit and quickly shouted from behind, "What are you all standing there for? Dig!"

The rough female laborers rolled up their sleeves and went forward, smashing away with loud bangs and clangs.

It was nearing noon, and the Old Master's and Old Madam's North Garden was taken over by Mu Dongni's wails.

"Mother, you must do justice for your daughter!"

"Fifth Sister-in-law swindled away the spirit coins your daughter painstakingly saved for so many years, leaving your daughter with nothing! I really can't go on, I can't go on!"

Zhan Ju quickly pulled her back, crying and wiping tears. "Young Mistress, Young Mistress! Please don't think of doing anything rash."

The Old Madam's face was dark, feeling like her head was about to explode from the clamor of Mu Dongni and her group.

This time, only the little Crown Princess came to the Old Madam's courtyard to watch the commotion; the Crown Prince did not follow.

Seeing that the Old Madam looked unwell, she squeezed forward, sat next to the Old Madam, took out a medicine bottle from her inner realm, and waved it under the Old Madam's nose.

The Old Madam took a sniff and immediately felt much more energetic, and her head no longer ached as much as before.

The Old Madam raised a hand and patted her small hand, nodding at her with a pleased expression. Then she turned her gaze to Mu Dongni, who was sobbing on the ground, and angrily roared, "Shut up! What are you crying for? Do you even have the face to cry? You're from a family of talisman masters, yet you're uneducated and incompetent. You can't even tell if there's talismanic power on a talisman! If you got scammed, you only have yourself to blame."

Mu Dongni looked at the Old Madam in disbelief, wiping her tears as she cried out, "Mother, how can you say that about me! You know that ever since I was little, I couldn't even draw a basic Peace Talisman! Sister-in-law took advantage of that very fact to trick me!"

The Old Madam was so angry she almost laughed. So, you're uneducated since childhood, and now you think you're justified, is that it?

Mu Dongni wiped her tears, sobbing intermittently, "Mother, Sister-in-law did this on purpose. Eldest Sister-in-law dug up that old willow tree and found a secret tunnel leading to the small garden behind Fifth Brother's courtyard."

"Fifth Sister-in-law used this method to secretly take my one million spirit coins without anyone knowing!"

No wonder she had sent two people to watch under the willow tree and never saw any movement.

It turned out that under the willow tree, beneath the mud and stones, it had already been hollowed out.

"Is this your first day living in this house?" the Old Madam scolded angrily. "There are so many secret passages of all sizes in the house, don't you have any idea about them?"
