CHAPTER 470: CHAPTER 467: SEEKING JUSTICE (18TH UPDATE)

"No, if it were me, I might be even more ruthless!"

Lu Yuanfeng shook his head.

If it were him today, he would definitely have cut off that thing of Wang Fugui’s, and killed that woman Xia Guagua, even if... even if it meant facing a lawsuit, he wouldn’t have minded!

Understanding Lu Yuanfeng’s thoughts, Mu Shuangshuang knocked on his head.

"Are you silly? If something bad really happened, sacrificing yourself wouldn’t change anything."

"Moreover, many things can’t be done impulsively. You need to use your brain. Impulsiveness won’t change the current predicament; you can only find a solution by staying calm!"

Mu Shuangshuang patiently explained.

As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Yuanfeng pulled her into his embrace.

"Nothing bad will happen; you’re not allowed to say that."

Lu Yuanfeng said anxiously, making Mu Shuangshuang tremble because she noticed that Lu Yuanfeng was shaking.

He was scared!

The dark things in her heart suddenly vanished, and Mu Shuangshuang gently patted Lu Yuanfeng’s back.

"It’s okay, it’s all over, let’s go back!"

As for matters regarding Lu Yuanfeng’s mother, Mu Shuangshuang didn’t know how to bring it up.

She also didn’t want him to associate with the people of the Old Lu Family, but she knew what happened was indeed not good.

Oh well, when the boat reaches the bridge, it’ll naturally straighten; she’ll tell him the truth tonight.

Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng each cut some bamboo sticks and carried them to Mu Shuangshuang’s house.

At this moment, the yard was peaceful, the little black pig was happily munching on mud, Little Zhi and Yuanbao were playing in the courtyard.

From the kitchen, waves of cooking smoke rose, and Yu Si Niang was preparing dinner.

Upon seeing Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng, Little Zhi and Yuanbao approached them.

"Second brother, Sister Shuangshuang, you’re finally back. Uncle Dashan and Si Niang were worried sick just now, and Yuanbao missed you too!"

Yuanbao ran over cheerfully, throwing himself into Lu Yuanfeng’s arms.

Only then could he show how much he valued his second brother, Yuanbao thought giddily to himself.

How could Lu Yuanfeng not know? He knocked on Yuanbao’s head, looking helpless: "Alright, Yuanbao, you need to act like a man, take responsibility, why are you always running to me?"

"No way, no way, in front of second brother, I’m just a kid, you need to take care of me and buy me food!"

The last sentence made Little Zhi laugh.

"Brother Yuanbao is so shameless, actively asking for food, like a little piglet!"

"Little Zhi sister, I’m not asking just for myself, I asked for you too, and also for Xiao Han."

Little Yuanbao declared righteously; reaching such a shameless level was truly rare.

"Alright, aren’t you hungry? Get ready to eat!" Mu Shuangshuang’s clear, gentle voice rang out.

In the kitchen, Yu Si Niang, who was still cooking the last dish, came rushing out in a hurry.

Mu Dashan too.

Both looked excited, not that they didn’t trust Shuangshuang regarding that matter, but because they were scared.

Because they loved her so much, they couldn’t bear to hear about even the slightest hurt.

"Dad, Mom, what’s wrong? Why are both of you coming out? Did we make you worry by coming back late?"

"I was just cutting some bamboo on the mountain with Fengzi, we need bamboo to support our bean trellis later on, so I prepared in advance."

Winter beans are a specialty dish, and Mu Shuangshuang had to start preparing the necessary items ahead of time.

"You have no idea, Mom was scared to death just now!" As Yu Si Niang recounted the previous events to Mu Shuangshuang, she kept clutching her chest.

Mu Shuangshuang went up and comforted her several times before finally calming Yu Si Niang down. "Mom, just treat what they say as nonsense. Even if I were blind, I wouldn’t fancy that fool."

"If anyone says it again, tear her mouth apart for me!" Mu Shuangshuang, worried about Yu Si Niang being at a disadvantage, added another comment.

"I know, today I gave Zhang Family’s daughter-in-law a good beating! What kind of person is she, slandering you, and even came to our house."

Mu Shuangshuang subconsciously touched her nose.

This wasn’t entirely correct, Aunt Zhang wasn’t exactly slandering her because Wang Fugui had indeed carried her before.

But if blame was to be placed, it should rest on her malicious intent when faced with this kind of situation.

"Mom, is dinner ready? I’m hungry!"

Eager to change the subject and indeed feeling hungry, Mu Shuangshuang asked.

"Ah, no, I still have a dish to fry..."

Yu Si Niang hurried back inside, where the cabbage had already burned and started to smell bad.

She quickly washed the pot, picked three eggs, and made a bowl of egg soup.

The golden egg skins floated on the soup, with a bit of scallion added, making the color look extremely inviting.

Seeing the eggs, Mu Shuangshuang remembered that she still needed to buy some preserved eggs.

The seventy preserved eggs last time had all been given to Xue Mansion, earning seven hundred coins, and she had made another 120 when she got back.

But it was still far from enough, there’s also bean sprouts!

Their selling rate far surpassed that of Jiu Si Xuan’s cold noodles.

Although they could also make eight or nine hundred coins on one trip with the cold noodles, earning about three taels of silver a month.

Currently, though, Mu Shuangshuang’s household had nothing at all, buying rice, oil, and salt quickly used up the money.

Fortunately, she had already started saving for Xiao Han and Yuanbao’s school fees now.

Then there’s the money for dried meat, as the teacher here demanded a gift, and it had to include dried meat.

Who knows if these scholars couldn’t afford it themselves, insisting on eating the students’.

Of course, this kind of thought was just Mu Shuangshuang talking to herself in her mind.

...

...

After dinner, as night fell, Mu Shuangshuang took the opportunity to see Lu Yuanfeng off by heading out!

In the dark of night, she and Lu Yuanfeng set off towards Old Wang’s house.

The issue of Wang Fugui ambushing her with a club was still stuck in Mu Shuangshuang’s throat, so if she didn’t get things even today, she couldn’t sleep.

Lu Yuanfeng felt the same way, if he didn’t seek vengeance today, he feared he wouldn’t sleep well the entire night.

Old Wang’s courtyard wall was rebuilt right after the opera troupe ended, and it was much taller than before.

Fortunately, there was a fatal flaw in his courtyard wall!

There was a towering camphor tree growing beside it, making it easy to enter Wang’s courtyard.

The Wang family kept a dog, so Mu Shuangshuang saved a piece of wolf meat from dinner, putting in some knockout drugs she got from Zhang Huai Shu, ensuring the dog would sleep through the night.

When they arrived at the Wang family’s place, Lu Yuanfeng climbed up the wall first; his power was strong, and he didn’t need the camphor tree.

Sitting on the wall, hiding among the tree branches, he tossed the wolf meat in front of Wang’s dog. Once it ate, it became drowsy.

Soon, it fell silent.

Lu Yuanfeng jumped down from the wall, ready to catch Shuangshuang so she wouldn’t fall.

Unfortunately, Shuangshuang wasn’t weak either.

After some exercise and better nutrition, Mu Shuangshuang had gained some muscle, and by using the camphor tree, she climbed up the wall as light as a swallow, jumped into the Wang family courtyard, and didn’t make a sound.

Lu Yuanfeng gave her a thumbs up, clearly impressed with Shuangshuang.

"Fengzi, I should know where that beast’s room is!"

During the opera, Mu Shuangshuang noticed where Wang Fugui came out from.

And since Wang Fugui was a man and unmarried, he generally wouldn’t stay in the inner courtyard, so Mu Shuangshuang felt she should know where it was.
