"You keep a pretty boy from the theater outside, don't assume everyone else is like you!"
"Oh, you scoundrel who swindled people's money and dug a tunnel to transfer their assets, how dare you criticize me!" Mu Dongni raised her hand, glaring at Mrs. Hua with furrowed brows, ready to fight her again.
"Drag them apart!" the Old Madam rebuked.
Two robust matrons quickly stepped forward, pulling Mrs. Hua and Mu Dongni, who were entangled, apart from either side, and forcing them to kneel separately.
"Mother, you must stand up for me." Mu Dongni's cry had just begun when she was sternly reprimanded by the Old Madam.
"Slap her three times!"
"Mother, Mother, why are you hitting me?" Mu Dongni looked at the Old Madam, dumbfounded, and cried out indignantly, "I'm the victim here!"
"Slap, slap!"
"Second Aunt, don't say anything else." Mu Qingya wished she could roll her eyes at her second sister's intelligence.
Knowing that the Old Madam was furious, if you just acted pitiful and knelt silently, the Old Madam would naturally stand up for you. What was the point of all this bickering?
With such a brain, it's no wonder she was swindled out of all her property by Mrs. Hua.
"Tell me! Explain clearly, where did that money go?" the Old Madam asked coldly.
"I, I." Mrs. Hua hesitated, looking up at the Old Madam, then bit her lip and said, "I, I lent, lent the money to someone for two days. Just two days, it will be returned in two days."
"What?" Mu Dongni, her face red and swollen, said with disbelief, "You actually lent my money out? You're someone who won't get up early without profit! There must be interest! How much interest, tell me! Tell me!"
Now she had been dragged to one side of the room by the matrons, quite a distance from Mrs. Hua. Even if she kicked or punched, she couldn't reach Mrs. Hua, who was huddled to the side. She could only yell and glare at her.
"It's Manager Li from the Fenlou."
"You, you! You're going to infuriate this old woman to death! To actually do business with such a lowly person?" The Old Madam angrily slammed the table. "Go! Tell Mu Jingyang to get over here. This old woman needs to ask him how he manages his wife."
Mrs. Hua was startled, and immediately knelt forward a few steps with a tear-strestained face, wailing, "Old Madam, please don't call the Master over! The Master doesn't know about this."
Qiaomu casually patted the Old Madam's back, helping her calm her breathing, and looked up at Mrs. Hua with a curious expression.
Fenlou, she seemed to have heard that name somewhere, but couldn't quite remember.
The little one was a bit curious, so she couldn't help but glance at Mu Dongni a few more times.
Mu Dongni's face was now as swollen as a pig's head, looking a bit comically absurd.
This should be her second aunt, right? Why did she seem so, so poor...
As a member of the Mu family, people from a family of talismans, they should theoretically have a very broad perspective.
How could a mere one million spirit coins make her feel as if... she wanted to tear the roof off?
This wealthy person already had no concept of spirit coins; to her, spirit coins were just an ever-increasing number...
The little girl was currently only interested in unusual medicinal herbs.
Other than that, even seeing spirit artifacts didn't stir any waves in her heart.
"Old Madam, please don't call the Master over." Mrs. Hua cried, "I, I was too greedy, I cheated Second Miss out of her money."
