"Of course not." Chen Mu cast a meaningful glance at her, "However, this big wolfdog is related to the question I wanted to ask."
"Then ask." Madam Niu was getting impatient.
Chen Mu Mu Mu didn't care about her anxious look and only said lightly, "That big wolfdog is so mighty, I thought it was adorable, so I bought it to visit the courtyard."
In a split-second, four pairs of eyes shot towards Chen Mu Mu.
Madam Niu immediately took a deep breath: "You're crazy, buying wolves to come look for us!"
Lu Jinfeng and the Heavenly Li King's aunty did not say a word, her expression was a little odd.
They all knew that Chen Mu Mu Mu did not buy the big wolfdog, so she must have said those words to trick Madam Niu.
However, they were all on Chen Mu Mu's side, so no one dared expose Chen Mu Mu Mu's lie to warn Madam Niu not to fall for it.
Chen Mu Mu Mu smiled, seeing the Madam Niu's panicked expression, the smile on his face became wider.
"I heard you say just now that you have to be friendly and repay kindness with kindness. You said that you have to help those in need at all costs, even if it means losing your life, right?"
"It seems... "That's right." Madam Niu replied hesitantly.
She kept feeling that something wasn't right, but there was no loophole in Chen Mu's question.
It was originally Lu Yulian and Lin Qiu'er who wanted to harm Chen Mu Mu, but now they wanted Chen Mu Mu Mu to save Lu Yulian instead.
Seeing that Madam Niu had succeeded in his trap, Chen Mu laughed even more happily, "Then Madam Niu, since you said it like that, you must have some sort of understanding, right?"
No, that's not right!
The Madam Niu was flustered, but before she could think of what to say, the smile on Chen Mu Mu Mu's face retracted as he coldly spoke.
"Since you are so great, my big wolfdog is very hungry right now. Why don't you feed it your fat? After all, compared to the one that needs it, your life has nothing to do with it." Chen Mu reached out a hand to Lu Jinfeng, who understood and placed the dagger he brought along with him into her hand.
Chen Mu Mu Mu drew his dagger, slicing through the iron like mud. As soon as he drew his dagger, the sharp cold air reflected the cold light.
Chen Mu grabbed a strand of his hair and approached his dagger, blowing lightly.
The hair was cut in half without hesitation.
Chen Mu shook the dagger in his hand and laughed innocently, "Madam Niu, put your heart at ease and your life at stake. If you are truly able to cut off your own flesh and feed it to my big wolfdog, I will repay you with my virtue and rescue Lu Yulian and Lin Qiu'er."
Madam Niu watched as the dagger blew through his hair and hair, and listened to Chen Mu Mu's words. His entire body shivered, and he felt a chill down his spine.
Cut her own flesh and feed it to the dogs, she must be sick! How could a little beast let her cut meat? Moreover, with how valiant that wolfhound was, to feed it, wouldn't it be equivalent to cutting all the meat out of her body?! Normally, one would be in so much pain that tears would flow out of his eyes. If he were to cut his own flesh off with a single slash …
Just the thought of that scene was enough to send chills down one's spine.
The Madam Niu thought for a while, and stared at the dagger, feeling horrified, he unconsciously took two steps back, shaking his head: "How is that possible, that wolfdog is an animal and not a human, how is it worth it for me to feed it with my own meat!"
"However, in my eyes, those people that you care about are also animals." Chen Mu Mu Mu smiled and walked towards Madam Niu, "You are not an animal, but you are, if you do something that involves killing people and framing people, what else could it be?"
"You!" Madam Niu was so frightened by her that she retreated continuously. However, she was old, and her legs were not nimble, so she stepped on her heels and fell to the ground. She scolded angrily, "You little slut, you didn't even think of saving my daughter and Qiu Er.
"I was playing with you to begin with!" Chen Mu Mu sneered, "In your eyes, your life is your life, but the lives of others are not. How can there be such a good thing, let me tell you the truth, if you want me to use my life to save those two beasts, don't even think about it! "Of course."
She smiled, waved the dagger in her hand, and approached Madam Niu step by step. Seeing Madam Niu so scared that he almost peed his pants and crawled backwards, her smile became even wider.
"Madam Niu, if you don't care about your life and are willing to use yourself to exchange for Lu Yulian and Lin Qiu'er, I can actually help you speak up for Sir Ginkou."
She giggled, but she looked like a demon from hell, "What about exchanging a life for two people? Isn't that a bit too worthwhile?"
Madam Niu's upper and lower lips were trembling. His face was green and purple, and he remained silent for a long time.
Chen Mu Mu Mu didn't urge her on, and only laughed even more harshly.
Although Madam Niu kept on saying that his daughter was his niece, in the eyes of a disloyal person like Madam Niu, how could his children be as important as him? Moreover, if she really loved Lu Yulian, why did she abandon him back then?
If even his own son was killed, how would he care about his daughter, who was a money-loser. Moreover, his daughter had long been passed on to someone else.
She never brought up Lu Yulian and Lin Qiu'er, and Lu Yulian and her mother never paid attention to her either.
They all said that in the moment of life and death between Lu Yulian and Lin Qiu'er, Madam Niu suddenly realized that she was about to save her daughter and niece. But she suddenly realised that she cared a lot about that daughter and niece that she almost never contacted?
Is that possible?
The reason why Madam Niu suddenly wanted to protect Lu Yulian and Lin Qiu'er was because he knew that Lin Qiu'er had already married into the Palace. If he could save Lu Yulian and Lin Qiu'er, with a big backer in the future, wouldn't he be able to enjoy endless wealth?
Madam Niu truly wanted to save Lu Yulian and Lin Qiu'er, but this wish of hers wasn't at the cost of sacrificing herself.
Using his own life to save two relatives that were equivalent to strangers, it was impossible for him to lay his hands on anyone, let alone the self-serving Madam Niu.
Seeing that she did not say a word, Chen Mu Mu laughed softly, "Madam Niu, I said that I would save her, but I gave you the conditions. If you are willing, we can go to the government office right now. Stealing, framing, poisoning, with all these crimes mixed together, you have to consider carefully. "
What was there to consider? Death penalty! It wasn't something that could be done just by paying a bit of money!
Without even thinking about it, Madam Niu rejected Chen Mu's suggestion. She was quiet for a moment before snorting, "You little girl, you clearly don't want to save anyone, yet you speak in such a dignified manner."
Chen Mu Mu didn't put on airs and admitted generously, "That's right. I didn't want to save them from the start, so I poisoned them and caused harm to my business and customers. I had been wishing for them to die a long time ago!"
The mother and daughter pair had been unable to do anything to begin with, so who would be willing to save the person who had killed them? It wasn't as if their brains had gone wild.
It seemed as if Ox-Head hadn't expected her to admit it so readily. Her eyes widened, and she couldn't find a reply for a long time. It wasn't a scary thing to have a person's face, but a terrible thing to have a person's face. If Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu wasn't afraid of others from behind her back, then what else could she use to threaten Chen Mu Mu?
If it wasn't for the fact that Lu Yulian and Lin Qiu'er were selfish, they wouldn't have harmed me. If you weren't selfish, you wouldn't have asked me to save someone. These two are my enemies, I will tell you the truth, I don't want to save them, you can save them if you want, but don't use my life as an object of concern, use your life in exchange for two lives, it's more worthwhile! "
Madam Niu's lips trembled, her expression extremely ugly.
Not wanting to save others was such a selfish thought. If it was in normal times, they would definitely criticize him harshly. However, Chen Mu Mu did not walk the usual path, and said it in front of everyone without any scruples. The worst thing was, she felt that it was reasonable, so much so that she could not find the words to refute.
Her own nephew daughter was unwilling to use his own life to save him, what right did she have to get his relative, Chen Mu, to save her that he couldn't even kill a eighth of a person, not to mention how badly Lu Yulian and Lin Qiu'er had caused Chen Mu to suffer, everyone could see it.
Her request didn't make sense. More importantly, Chen Mu Mu Mu wouldn't do it.
Similarly, she had to use her life to exchange for Lu Yulian's and Lin Qiu'er's life, so she was not willing to do the same.
Then, let's put aside the matter of Lu Yulian and Lin Qiu'er for now. The reason she came was not for these two mother and daughter anyway.
"Hmph, since you're so heartless, when Jade Lotus and Qiu'er become ghosts, I'll definitely not let you off!"
Chen Mu Mu Mu wasn't afraid and retorted mockingly, "Every injustice has its own master, even if you're a ghost, you have to be reasonable. If they dare to come, I will beat them! But Madam Niu, as a mother, grandmother, you watching your daughter and niece die is the greatest injustice, right? I think if they really resent you, they must resent you the most. "
After all, the person who abandoned her own daughter at that time was the Madam Niu. Now that they knew that they were in trouble, the person who was unwilling to let her live and rescue them was also the Madam Niu.
Compared to someone who was indifferent and vile to him, injuries from close relatives were the most excruciating.
If Lu Yulian and Lin Qiu'er were to hate him, they would definitely hate him the most.
As Madam Niu thought about this, his back suddenly felt a chill, as if he could imagine the scene of her mother seeking her for revenge.
Having lived for most of his life, although he had caused a lot of trouble without reason, he still had a bit of a confidence in himself.
Especially the older one was, the more afraid they would be of death.
Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu looked at Madam Niu, who was thinking and shivering at the same time, and the corners of his lips unconsciously raised up.
Some people would hurt when they hit her, but they would still die later on. However, when they attacked her, they would make her remember how to do so, while her heart would be tormented by them at all times.
"It's not like that. It's you who harmed them. If they want to hate you, they will only hate you!" The Madam Niu shook his head and stared at Chen Mu Mu Mu. "You are obviously trying to shirk your responsibilities, and you still want to mislead me. You truly have ill intentions!"
She didn't have any good intentions in the first place.
The corner of Chen Mu Mu's mouth curled, and just as she was about to speak, Madam Niu was already afraid of her words, and did not want to listen to her reasoning any longer.
"Chen Mu Mu, since Lu Yulian and Lin Qiu'er do not wish to be saved, I will not force them. But your uncle and aunt are currently in prison, you can't just ignore them, can you? "
Lu Dayi and Madam Luo?
Chen Mu laughed lightly, as his smile turned cold and indifferent, "My apologies, but I don't have an uncle or aunt. They have long passed away."
These words were said viciously, but just as Madam Niu was about to get angry, he was suddenly surprised.
That's right, Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu isn't a member of the Lu family after all. Although she recognizes Madam Li as her mother, she recognizes only the Madam Li. This has nothing to do with the Lu family. The aunt she was referring to should be someone from her Chen Clan.
Even though he was thinking this, he was still furious. "I won't tell you more. I'll just ask you, are you going to let them go or not?"
"I'm not letting go!" The Madam Niu asked straightforwardly, and Chen Mu Mu Mu gave a straightforward answer.
"You!" Madam Niu was so angry that he choked, his body shook, and he scolded, "You heartless little hoof, they are your elders, now that they are in trouble, you do not care, leave me alone, are you still human!"
"It's a human." Chen Mu Mu Mu shrugged, because she already knew about Madam Niu's character, she did not take the words of the Madam Niu to heart, but simply smiled, the smile in her eyes could not be heard, "But there is a reason, evil deeds come to fruition, if they do evil, they will naturally receive retribution. What's wrong with the elders? Isn't it a crime to kill someone? They tried to harm me, and even wanted me to save them. I am not that temple's Bodhisattva Guanyin, and instead wanted to repay your kindness with grievances. "
She paused, her gaze slowly sizing up Madam Niu, and laughed sinisterly: "As for you, what does your loneliness have to do with me, who do you think you are to me? You gave birth to me, raised me, and gave me a huge favor? Why should I pity you? Are you old? Old beggars on the streets are more pitiful than you; they are even more shameless than you! "
Chen Mu and his men were harmed, making a series of beeping sounds, all of them being scolded at by others. Madam Niu was so angry that he almost could not get up in one go, his eyes rolled back and his hands and feet trembled.
"Reverse, reverse! You little slut, your mouth is full of dung, I'll beat you to death!"
