"No need for this humble woman's." Sun Jin drank some wine, his cheeks flushed red, making his handsome face look even more enchanting, "This is treating our friends as friends, could it be that Lady Mu and his friends are so different?"
Mu Chengfang was speechless. If she were to directly ask, not only would it seem awkward, it might also offend Sun Jin.
Manager Liu, who was sitting on top of the Mu Clan Manor, respectfully came before Madam Mu. "This is the locust nectar that you have collected this year. I am giving it to you today."
The person behind him scoffed, "Could it be that someone purposely put mouse poop in to harm you? It was clearly because you didn't keep things safe and failed to live up to Madam's expectations! "
"No!" Madam, I was wrongly accused! " Manager Liu kneeled down and shouted his injustice.
Lady Mu's eyes were filled with disappointment and anger. If this matter wasn't severely punished, it would ruin the Mu Clan's reputation in the future.
Just as she was about to speak, Mu Chengfang said softly: "If you want to find out whether Manager Liu was wronged, our daughter has a simple method."
Sun Jin took a sip of the wine and looked over in the blink of an eye.
"What method do you have?" Madam Mu asked curiously.
Mu Chengfang ignored the disgusted gazes and covered her nose with her hands. With an indifferent expression, she used her chopsticks to pick up the mouse poop and placed it in the middle of a white porcelain plate.
"Everyone, please take a look." She opened her mouth and said, "The mouse's feces are dry. This means that they have only been placed inside for a short period of time. Otherwise, it would have already been soaked inside and out."
Madam Mu gave a close look and realized that it was indeed as her daughter had said. She glared at the person behind Supervisor Liu. Seeing that person's shoulders had shrunk, she immediately understood.
It was the dirty business of the village fighting for power again.
Mu An hurriedly said, "Mother, let your son handle this matter. Don't let this matter ruin your mood."
"Fine." Madam Mu sighed.
As the banquet continued, the crowd quickly started to discuss about other matters. After all, this matter was disgraceful and they did not want to disgrace Madam Mu. Hence, they did not mention that Miss Mu had cleverly cut off the truth in this matter.
Only Sun Jin looked at the quiet Mu Chengfang who was listening to his mother with a trace of praise in her eyes.
Sun Jin did not speak again until after lunch.
An arrogant official like Sun Jin would probably leave right away. Unexpectedly, not only did he not leave, he even sat down with the other guests and listened to their conversation.
He was unassuming, kind and gentle, which made people like him very much.
She could not help but click her tongue. This Sun Jin was "extraordinary".
After chatting for a while, Boss Li's wife, who had a lot of business with the Mu family, smiled as she took Madam Mu's hand and said, "This is called crossing the clear sky after the rain. However, since Yu Fang is old and has been married to the Xu family for six years, there won't be any problems.
Madam Mu smiled slightly. "It doesn't matter. After this incident, I realized that my daughter is staying at home with me and her brother to take care of her. Whatever she wants to do is up to her."
Sun Jin leisurely peeled an orange, but earnestly listened to the group of women's conversation.
Seeing his expression, Mu Chengfang couldn't help but become nervous.
"Ai!" On the other hand, the Mrs. Wang expressed her disagreement, "In the end, women must be married. Otherwise, when they get old, they will suffer from gossip and no one will see them die miserably."
Madam Mu said, "Yes, I am at ease." She nodded to the eldest son and his wife.
Mu An and Zhu Yao nodded with a smile at the same time.
Mu Chengfang turned her gaze, and the corner of his eyes fell on Zhu Yao's face. Although there was a smile on her face, she could not hide the unwillingness in his eyes.
As expected... She sighed silently.
