From Folly to Fortune：I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!-Chapter 810 - 806: Little Aunt Has Gone Mad (First Update)
Mr. Mu only felt relieved after seeing the Qin Family arrive.
This time, it wouldn’t be like last time, when no one showed up, bringing shame to the Old Mu Family.
However, Qin Shijie’s appearance was truly unpleasant.
Ugly as it was, he lay on a small bamboo sedan chair, his clothes not particularly neat.
Carried by two porters, one at the front and one at the back, he looked like a lord, yet the sense of melancholy on his face was quite unsettling.
Aunt Qin rushed up, and the scent of heavy makeup followed.
Mr. Mu frowned, seemingly displeased with Aunt Qin’s attire.
Mu Dazhong, however, was so overjoyed that he took the initiative to say, "Aunt Qin, you really look beautiful today, and Young Master Qin, hurry and have the men carry you inside!"
While instructing the two porters, Mu Dazhong couldn’t stop staring at Aunt Qin, almost drooling. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
"Why didn’t the two elders of the Qin Family come?" Mr. Mu asked somewhat displeased.
"Oh, this matter dates back three years, when our master and mistress, to avoid debts, fled and haven’t returned since.
The family only has an old lady who’s too old to travel back and forth; though I’m only a concubine, our master did entrust me with managing the Qin Family." Aunt Qin explained with a smile.
Mr. Mu was still somewhat unhappy, but today was a joyous day, and time shouldn’t be wasted here.
"Alright then, hurry inside, you must say those words in front of everyone in the village before dinner!"
Mr. Mu didn’t want Qin Shijie’s affairs to disrupt the wedding ceremony after dinner.
For everyone getting married, the hour of the ceremony is the most important, and Da Lang and Bita’s marriage concerns the fate of the family, a failure would be a great loss.
Aunt Qin followed Mu Dazhong into the courtyard of the Old Mu Family!
...
...
An entire afternoon, Mu Shuangshuang was busy like a spinning top, without a moment’s rest; the two large pots in the kitchen, plus two more in the courtyard outside, nearly exhausted her.
Lu Yuanfeng helped her with the cooking, but most of the time, it still fell on her.
At this moment Mu Shuangshuang felt that the meals for the red and white events were not easy to serve.
Especially when done according to the Old Mu Family’s standards, it was even harder to serve!
As the firecrackers sounded, everyone began to take their seats, and the kitchen was ready to serve.
Just waiting for the second set of firecrackers to start serving dishes.
At this moment, Qin Shijie, carried by two porters, appeared in the front yard of the Old Mu Family.
The previously lively front yard suddenly fell silent.
Everyone stared blankly at this unexpectedly appearing man, looking utterly confused.
"Everyone, I am Qin Shijie, who was previously engaged to the Old Mu Family. Could everyone listen to a few words from me?"
Qin Shijie asked in front of the entire village.
The previously quiet yard suddenly became noisy again.
"Is this the Qin Family person from town? Why is he crippled! The Old Mu is also too careless, his son is a scholar, and his daughter is to marry a cripple, really..." someone said.
"What is going on, what trick is the Old Mu Family trying to pull!"
"Listen to me explain, last time I couldn’t attend the engagement banquet because I, Qin, was attacked in town and had my legs broken.
I am not unwilling to marry Xiangxiang, such a good girl like Xiangxiang, I would marry eagerly, how would I choose not to come!
I only hope Mr. Mu will consider that I came as soon as I recovered, and give me another chance so that I may marry Xiangxiang.
I am willing to offer all the Qin Family’s property, in the future, the Qin Family will have only Xiangxiang as the mistress!"
These words were taught to Qin Shijie by Mu Dade.
Once he said these words, the reputation of the Old Mu Family in the village would turn around.
At the very least, people wouldn’t think that Mu Xiangxiang was abandoned for no reason.
Sure enough, after hearing Qin Shaojie’s words, people were starting to soften.
"So that’s how it is, the Old Mu Family’s girl isn’t as we thought!"
Standing aside, a smile began to appear on Mr. Mu’s face, with more and more villagers understanding Mu Xiangxiang and the Old Mu Family.
"Old Mu, since it’s a misunderstanding, what do you plan to do about it?" someone close to Mr. Mu in the village asked.
Everyone was now keen to know whether the Old Mu Family would honor their promise and let their daughter marry into the Qin Family or break off the engagement as Qin Shijie is crippled.
"Our Old Mu Family values promises, of course we..."
Mr. Mu had only begun to speak when commotion erupted at the farthest table in the yard.
Everyone stood up together, eyes fixed on Mu Xiangxiang rushing over.
Mu Xiangxiang’s hair was disheveled, her clothes dirty, and her eyes filled with anger as she shouted, "Kill..."
The voice was grating, like the scraping of old bark.
When Mu Xiangxiang approached and slapped the nearest guest, it was only then that people reacted.
"Oh my mother, Mu Xiangxiang has gone mad..."
Someone shouted, and the villagers started to scatter.
Meanwhile, while Mu Xiangxiang beat those she encountered, she was secretly searching for Mrs. Lin.
In the chaotic yard, Mrs. Lin’s frame was already engraved in Mu Xiangxiang’s mind; she would recognize her even if she turned to ash.
And Mu Qingqing, that little wench was also absent!
Mrs. Lin had been in the back yard kitchen, checking if Mu Shuangshuang’s dishes were ready, ready to sneak a taste if they were or scold Mu Shuangshuang if they weren’t.
However, because Mu Shuangshuang was too tough, she got driven out.
Mrs. Lin ended up not tasting the fox meat and was in a bad mood, thinking of going to the front yard for some entertainment.
The Qin family’s pleading for Xiangxiang, Xiangxiang’s act of madness, and the eldest brother’s family’s troubles were the shows she expected to see.
Mrs. Lin walked with vigor.
Those shows played out countless times in her head, but when she arrived at the yard, she was completely stunned.
It was true Mu Xiangxiang had gone mad, yet she was relentlessly chasing after the guests.
Oh dear, wouldn’t this embarrass her son?
It was clearly agreed, not to ruin the wedding, but at this rate, her son, Lin Xiaozao, would become the laughingstock of Er Gui Village.
"Father, second brother, third brother, what are you all standing there for? Hurry and catch Xiangxiang, this wedding is going to be ruined by her!" Mrs. Lin shouted at the top of her lungs.
This shout not only awakened Mr. Mu, Mu Dazhong, and Mu Dashan, but also exposed her own identity.
The scissors in Mu Xiangxiang’s sleeve had already exposed a corner, slowly approaching Mrs. Lin.
"Second brother, third brother, quickly catch Xiangxiang, otherwise, something big will happen!"
