The words of the Second Uncle Elder made Old Man Mu's face turn ugly, ”Elder, look at what you're saying this time. Naturally, the county magistrate knew that he was wrongly accused of looking at me, which was why he released me. ” He couldn't say that it was Wanqing, the Cheap Girl who scooped him out, otherwise there would be no place for him to let go of his old face. However, things often happened to not be fully realized, and if he didn't want to say it, others would not know about it. It was like now, where he didn't say it did not mean that others didn't say it, because Mu Zhuang wasn't the only one who knew about it.
”Grandfather, it was Sister Wanqing who brought grandfather out, she must have spent some silver.” Mu Zhuang took a step forward, and said to the Second Master.
He never thought that his grandfather would be greedy for Wanqing's contribution. In his memories, only his grandfather told him to stand at home and watch over Wanqing and his sister, but he didn't expect that he would actually do the same.
Actually, Wanqing did not spend any money and brought back the silver that she had brought with him.
At the beginning, when Liu Xing went there, those yamen runners really did make things difficult for Liu Xing, after he paid the silver, they still did not have the intention to release him, because without the lord's orders, no one would dare to use him, because no one would dare to go and notify the county magistrate about it. However, when Liu Xing said that he was the one who asked him to go, those yamen runners became extremely respectful, not only did they return the silver to him, but they even went to meet the county magistrate as fast as possible.
Mu Zhuang's words stunned everyone present. Not only were the people from Mu Family angry, they were also people from Sun Family. They were angry because Wanqing actually had the money to fish someone out from the prison, and she wasn't willing to give them a penny.
The people from the Mu Family were shocked that Wanqing had gotten them to go in, and now that she had gotten them out, what exactly was she trying to do? She really couldn't understand, and Mu Dahai even more so couldn't understand why Wanqing would do such a thing.
Sixth Granduncle and the rest were thinking about Wanqing! Even if she was too kind to let the Old Man Mu stay in the prison for too long, she would have to wait for two days to finish her marriage. Otherwise, how could these people let her peacefully get married?
However, Old Man Mu looked at Mu Zhuang with that especially angry gaze, and said angrily, ”Mu Zhuang, what nonsense are you spouting? When did that Stinky Girl get me out? ”It was clearly …”
”Grandfather, how can you do this? It was clearly Wanqing who sent someone to bring you out from the town with money. I was at Wanqing's house at the time, so I am very clear about this matter. ” Mu Zhuang said with an unpleasant expression.
”All of you shut up, my face is already ruined, you all still have the mood to say that? ”My three granduncles, you must uphold justice for me, not because I want to curse, but because my face has been disfigured by our old lady. If I'm like this, how will I be able to come out and meet people in the future? My three uncles, you must uphold justice for me …”
Madame Zhou said as she shed tears. Seeing that there really was a miserable state, Old Madam Mu was angered to the point of raising her broom to hit him again, but was stopped by Old Man Mu, ”What are you doing? ”Put it down.”
”This woman needs to be tidied up. If I don't, how will I live my life in the future?” Old Madam Mu was dissatisfied and wanted to beat him up.
That's right, she had seen everything that Madame Zhou had done in this period of time, it was indeed too outrageous. Before the third wife came back, Madame Zhou was still very filial to her, no one knew what had happened during this period of time.
She would just pretend that she did not know. After all, the Clan Elder of Mu Family was here, she did not believe that she would not receive justice. No matter what happened today, she was a victim, so the ones who were injured should always be pitied, right?
”Why is my life so bitter …” ”Sob, sob, sob, sob …” Madame Zhou cried as she spoke. As she cried, she sat on the ground.
Second Uncle didn't really want to care about the matters of the Mu Family to begin with. Now that they had decided to settle the matters of the Mu Family as soon as possible, the Duke of Second Uncle and the Third Uncle also didn't want to care too much. Thus, after the three of them looked at each other, they heard the Sixth Granduncle say, ”Old Madam Mu, since you were the one who injured someone, we'll follow the clan's rules and go kneel in the ancestral hall for three days.”
There was indeed such a rule in the ancestral hall. If one hurt someone by mistake, they had to kneel down in the ancestral hall to make up for their mistakes. They also wanted to teach those people who had hurt others a lesson.
It must be known that after kneeling in the ancestral hall for three days and three nights without eating or drinking, regardless of whether this person was made of iron or not, he would still be unable to bear it.
As for those who intentionally injured others, if the team could not punish them, they had to be sent directly to the yamen for Master to punish them.
Under normal circumstances, the small matters within the clan could be completely resolved. If there were some women who did not respect the virtue, then even if it was something like soaking in a pig's cage, they would not need to inform anyone about it.
