On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Hearing what Mrs. Mu said, Mu Baodi gave a short laugh.

Her face was swollen and it hurt when she smiled, and her expression looked weird.

"You all heard it, right? I didn't wrongly accuse her! If my mother were still alive, would she have told me about such a marriage?"

"Even if my country is in dire straits, I will never marry a butcher!"

Yan Ruyu didn't say anything, she felt that Madam Mu had more to say.

Sure enough, after Mu Baodi finished speaking, Madam Mu said slowly: "You only know one side of the story, not the other."

"The Ding family is now a butcher, but they were not before. His father was also exiled here. He also served in the army before and had some merits. He came here because he was implicated by his superiors."

"They are a hard-working family. They don't complain about their fate or give up on themselves. Instead, they work together and strive to live."

"Although they are butchers, they do a good job. The neighbors like them very much. They often help the poor, the old and the young. I think such people should treat you well and will not look down on you just because you are divorced."

Mu Baodi's eyes were blazing with fire. Madam Mu took a few breaths and continued, "But I have been asking around and paying attention to this matter, but I didn't let anyone know. This time, it was because I heard from your father that the Ding family's son has a chance to join the army again. He has good martial arts skills, so I believe he will have a good future in no time."

"I brought it up because of this turn of events, ahem..."

As she spoke, she started coughing again. Madam Cao supported her and Yan Ruyu said, "Go lie down quickly."

This time, Mrs. Mu did not insist. She had almost exhausted all her energy by saying those words just now.

After lying back on the bed, Nanny Wu also brought some water, which was made from dried fruits and had a refreshing fragrance. She fed Madam Mu a small bowl of it.

Mrs. Mu felt better.

Madam Wu bowed her head and said, "Miss, I have a few more words to say. I dare not speak rashly about your marriage, but Madam has also contributed to the matter of dowry."

Mu Baodi glared at Nanny Wu and said, "Try your best? Trying your best means you don't get a penny back. What if you don't try your best?"

Madam Wu pursed her lips and said, "Miss, if Madam had not tried her best, I'm afraid you wouldn't be standing here now to lecture this old slave."

"What do you mean?"

Madam Mu shook her head and said, "Stop talking."

Mu Baodi said, "Why are you pretending? You're halfway through your story and you're not allowed to continue? Speak out, I want to hear what you, an old slave, can say. How can you defend her?"

Nanny Wu's tone was a little more resolute: "The Yuan family has been childless for many years, and they have always been dissatisfied with this matter. Every time Madam goes to the Yuan family to see you, she will be ridiculed by Old Madam Yuan."

"Madam knows that you have a hard time in the Yuan Mansion, so she always greets you with a smile. Even when Madam Yuan makes some excessive requests, she agrees to them one by one."

"You know in your heart how happy Madam Yuan and Master Yuan were when the concubine got pregnant this time, but you still did it regardless of the method and consequences."

"You even hit Madam Yuan, causing her arm to break. You don't know how harsh her words were."

"If it weren't for... Madam kneeling down to beg her and offering her two fine shops, how could Old Madam Yuan let it go? The Yuan family is determined to send you to the government!"

"Master Yuan has even written a petition. He has been childless for many years, he has killed his offspring, he is disrespectful to his mother-in-law, and he beat her until she broke her bones. Which of these charges can you bear? Any one of them can cost you your life, and you will never get married for the rest of your life. You can only be a nun!"

"You still want a dowry? The two fine shops given to Old Madam Yuan are our Madam's dowry."

After hearing this, Yan Ruyu glanced at Madam Mu. Her face was extremely pale, her eyes were slightly closed, tears were slipping from the corners of her eyes, and her lips were trembling.

It can be seen that he feels aggrieved in his heart, but he just can't express it.

Yan Ruyu felt sad, whose fault was this?

Mrs. Cao was also very angry after hearing this. She glared at Mu Baodi, patted Mrs. Mu's arm, and comforted her silently.

Mu Baodi twisted her handkerchief with both hands and stared at Nanny Wu fiercely: "You old wicked slave, you actually defended her so much, whose family do you eat?"

"How dare you accuse me like this? You are really rebellious, Liu. Is this the rule you set for the family you manage?"

Madam Cao could no longer bear it: "Enough, you keep calling me Liu. What kind of rules are these? If she could set good rules, would she tolerate you like this?"

"You are a bad person at work, and you have to live like this, and you still have the nerve to blame others. If you have the ability, you can ask for the dowry yourself. You are just a bully all day long, what kind of ability do you have?"

Mu Baodi was about to say something when she heard hurried footsteps outside. A man rushed into the room and shouted angrily, "Get out of here, you bastard!"

Mu Baodi looked at the man with hatred, but he ignored her and greeted Yan Ruyu and Madam Cao, saying, "I am Mu Zeliang, your humble servant. I greet the princess and Madam Cao."

Yan Ruyu nodded slightly, and Madam Cao snorted, "Commander Mu is really busy. It took him so long to show up."

Mu Zeliang quickly explained: "I just came back from the granary. I didn't know the princess and the lady were here. I am really sorry."

Madam Cao still refused to let him go: "You are really diligent. Madam is so sick, but you can still report for duty as usual."

Mu Zeliang was a little embarrassed, and Madam Mu said, "Don't blame your husband, it's because I didn't let anyone tell him, so he didn't know."

Mrs. Cao snorted and said nothing more.

Mu Zeliang asked with concern: "How do you feel now, Madam? Are you feeling better?"

"I feel better..."

Yan Ruyu didn't want to play dumb: "Commander Mu, Madam Mu's condition is complicated. It is only temporarily relieved now, and the cause has not been found yet."

Mu Zeliang obviously didn't expect it to be so serious. He was stunned for a moment and asked, "Then...what should we do? Why is it like this?"

His words made Yan Ruyu frown slightly, and she could guess why the relationship between his wife and daughter had become like this.

"This princess suspects that she used something wrong, not that she is sick."

Everyone in the room was stunned. Mu Baodi's eyes flickered slightly and she stopped twisting her handkerchief.

Then he said sarcastically: "What could she use wrongly? She lives her life carefully and meticulously every day."

Yan Ruyu looked at Mu Baodi for a long while with a deep gaze.

Mu Zeliang said angrily: "What are you still doing here? Go back to your own yard and don't come out without my permission!"

Mu Baodi said in a shrill voice: "You want to ban my feet? This woman left me with no food in the yard this morning, and now you want to ban my feet again. Do you want to trap me to death or starve me to death?"

Nanny Wu took over and said, "It's my fault. Madam has been feeling unwell since last night, and she was busy looking for a doctor this morning. She didn't pay attention to the kitchen, so I guess that delayed the young lady's breakfast."
