Chapter 212 The Xie Family in Trouble
"Throw him back where he belongs," Xue Bufan continued to instruct the constables.
Soon, Mu Hongyu was dragged away.
After glancing at Mu Wanjun, Xue Bufan left with the rest of his men.
A large number of exiled prisoners had gathered outside to watch the spectacle, but Xue Bufan immediately dispersed them.
Mu Wanjun harbored resentment in her heart.
She knew that her title of princess was useless, and that she was nothing in the eyes of these yamen runners.
But she couldn't stand this humiliation, and she really couldn't do anything about those people.
However, just because she couldn't do anything to the yamen runners didn't mean she couldn't do anything to that good-for-nothing Mu Hongyu.
The thought that Mu Hongyu would be paralyzed from the waist down for the rest of his life made Mu Wanjun feel a little better.
She wanted to see what his most favored concubine and son would do.
Seeing these people leave, Mu Wanjun also gestured for her father to leave quickly, as it was not appropriate for him to stay there.
"Second Aunt, Cousin, Cousin, it's alright now, you can come out."
Mu Wanjun called out softly, worried about startling the person.
Jiao Miaoling looked at Mu Wanjun with gratitude, and tears finally streamed down her face uncontrollably.
"Waaaaah, Wanjun, thank you so much. If you hadn't arrived in time, my daughter's innocence would have been completely ruined, waaaaah..."
Upon hearing their mother's words, the three sisters, Mu Wanqiong, Mu Wanzhen, and Mu Wanzhu, could no longer suppress their fear and burst into tears.
Mu Wanjun simply couldn't understand how Mu Hongyu, that scumbag, could do such a thing!
This was his wife and daughter, whom he had married with great ceremony!
Is it really as the novel goes, that just because his second aunt couldn't give him a son, he's so cold-blooded and inhumane?
Mu Wanjun simply couldn't understand what was going on in this person's mind!
"It was my oversight to let the four of you stay here alone. If you want to blame someone, blame me. Please don't blame yourself or do anything to hurt yourselves," Mu Wanjun advised.
These three cousins had already deviated from the original plot and did not enter the Jiaofangsi (a government-run entertainment institution).
She didn't want them to do anything irreversible because of this.
It's just that someone saw my naked body, but there was no real harm done.
Besides, she wouldn't let those two constables return to the capital alive.
But Mu Wanjun also knew the truth.
Women in this world have their minds severely restricted, valuing their chastity above all else.
All she could do was try her best to comfort and guide her.
"How can you blame yourself? You were clearly thinking of us. Please don't blame yourself."
Even now, Gao Miaoling still cares about others, which shows how kind and gentle she is.
Why would such a good person meet such a scumbag?
"Big sister, Zhuzhu won't blame you. This has nothing to do with you."
Nine-year-old Mu Wanzhu peeked through a crack in the window and secretly watched Mu Wanjun, whispering something.
Mu Wanjun felt a pang of tenderness when she saw her cousin return to comfort her.
"Zhuzhu is such a good girl. Forget about the unpleasant things tonight, okay? Just pretend it was a nightmare."
"Um……"
Mu Wanjun did not linger, leaving the space for her second aunt and her three daughters to digest the situation slowly.
downstairs.
The Xie family also heard the commotion upstairs.
But they were all women and widows, and all of them were injured. No one dared to go out and watch the excitement, for fear of getting themselves into trouble.
They are very worried about their family members living upstairs.
"I wonder what's going on upstairs, and whether my sixth and seventh sister-in-laws are scared."
"Yes, Jin Hui and his three brothers, along with Cheng Yuan, are also upstairs. I wonder if they are in any danger."
"Why don't we go up and take a look? Otherwise, we won't feel at ease."
"it is good."
The three young mistresses, Wen Jingxian (the eldest), Liu Shiyao (the second), and Li Zixuan (the fourth), walked upstairs cautiously, hand in hand.
This incident at the post station has become public knowledge.
Neither the people at the post station nor the officials on the other side looked good.
Both sides have increased their manpower for night watch to prevent similar incidents from happening again.
"What are you all doing running around like this? Get back here right now! Otherwise, don't blame us for arresting you!"
The yamen runners and postmen on the first floor spotted the three people at the same time and immediately shouted at them.
“Our family lives upstairs. Something just happened upstairs, and we’re worried about them. We’d like to go check on them. Please make an exception for us, Officer,” Wen Jingxian quickly explained.
Upon hearing this, the yamen runners and postmen remembered that someone from the Xie family lived upstairs, and they were not lying.
But they still refused, saying, "The incident happened to someone from the Mu family, it has nothing to do with the Xie family, please leave!"
Wen Jingxian and the other two were still very worried and could not feel at ease without checking on them.
"Officer, we just want to take a look. Please make an exception. If you don't believe us, you can come upstairs with us. We promise we have no ulterior motives."
As she spoke, Wen Jingxian reluctantly slipped a silver ingot to one of them.
The two exchanged a glance before reluctantly agreeing: "In that case, we'll go with you."
Upon hearing this, Wen Jingxian and the other two breathed a sigh of relief and immediately headed upstairs.
The three of them knocked on the door for a long time, but no one inside responded.
Not only Xie Chengyuan's room was unresponsive, but the rooms of the Sixth and Seventh Young Mistresses were also unresponsive.
A bad feeling arose in the minds of the three.
The two officers also sensed something was wrong and immediately wondered if the people in the two rooms had run away!
"Get out of the way!" The constable shouted at the man and kicked open the door.
As soon as the door opened.
They all smelled a pungent odor.
The second young mistress, Liu Shiyao, reacted the fastest, her face changing drastically. She immediately exclaimed, "Oh no! This is sleeping gas! Someone is pouring sleeping gas into the room!"
As she spoke, she immediately covered her nose with her arm, grabbed the oil lamp, and rushed into the room.
The others also covered their mouths and noses and followed them inside.
Seeing that they had all run into one room, the courier quickly went to the next room and kicked the door open.
A pungent smell of sleeping powder also wafted out.
His face was quite grim. Instead of immediately entering the room, he turned around and went downstairs to report the matter to his superior.
Wen Jingxian and the other two tried their best to call out to their sixth and seventh sister-in-laws and their three children, but no matter what they did, they could not wake them up.
Seeing this, the constable thought of the next room and immediately said to the three of them, "Go and see what's going on next door."
Wen Jingxian and the other two then realized what was happening and immediately ran next door to check.
It turned out that the two rooms were exactly the same.
No matter what we did, we couldn't wake the person inside.
The good thing is that no one was injured, they were just temporarily unconscious.
After such a major incident, Xue Bufan was once again summoned by the yamen runners.
Xue Bufan was extremely depressed.
I thought these people wouldn't be discovered tonight and would wake up naturally tomorrow.
Unexpectedly, these people still came upstairs to inspect.
"What's going on?" Xue Bufan asked, feigning ignorance.
