The eldest miss looked at the man on the ground sleepily and asked tenderly.
"You slut, why are you in my bed? Where's Xiuxiu?" Mu Rendong looked at the person in the bed, thinking it was some maid in the mansion trying to climb up the social ladder by getting into his bed.
"My lord, what are you saying? It was me who was with you last night. There's no Xiuxiu." The eldest miss looked at Mu Rendong discontentedly. He had praised her for her good skills last night, but unexpectedly, he changed his attitude early the next morning.
Mu Rendong was extremely reluctant in his heart. Clearly, he had married the beautiful second miss of the town head yesterday. How could she turn into this ugly hag in the blink of an eye?
Unconvinced, Mu Rendong got up, put on his clothes, and was about to go to the town head to reason with him. As soon as he went out, he ran into the town head with a beaming face.
"How was it, son - in - law? Did you have a good night last night?" The town head didn't know what had happened yet and asked cheerfully.
"Sir Town Head, you'd better take a look for yourself. Take a good look at what this thing is in my bed!" Mu Rendong angrily dragged the town head into the room.
The town head was dragged in bewilderedly. What had happened? Could it be that his second daughter was no longer a virgin? It was impossible. The town head was dragged in looking completely confused. When he saw the person in the bed, he was completely stunned. How could it be her?
"Sir Town Head, don't you think you should give me an explanation? Why has my bride become like this? If you think I'm not worthy, you might as well just say it. Why disgust me like this?" Mu Rendong looked at the town head with an ugly expression.
If he wasn't worried about causing any problems, he would have already taken action. It was simply too much.
"Son - in - law, you've misunderstood. You really have." The town head didn't expect such a thing to happen either. "This is my eldest daughter. Something must have happened yesterday. Don't be in a hurry. I'll send someone to look for Xiuxiu right away." As he said this, he wiped the sweat off his face.
"Humph! Let me tell you, I will never want such a woman." She was an eyesore!
"My lord, you didn't talk like this last night." The eldest miss pouted aggrievedly and coquettishly said to Mu Rendong.
"Don't talk. I feel nauseous just thinking about it." Mu Rendong's mood was as bad as if he had eaten something disgusting.
Xiuxiu was found in the firewood shed. When she woke up, she found herself tied up in the shed with her mouth gagged. She had been frozen there all night.
"Woo - woo - woo... Father, you must avenge your daughter." Xiuxiu lay in the town head's arms, complaining aggrievedly. "I don't know who knocked me out yesterday. When I woke up, I was already in the firewood shed."
After hearing this, how could the town head not understand? It was all his eldest daughter's doing.
"You unfilial daughter!" The town head's finger pointing at the eldest miss was trembling. He never thought his eldest daughter would be so bold.
"Father, don't be angry. Anyway, what should have happened last night has already happened. Maybe there's already a child of my husband in my belly." As she said this, she shyly covered her belly.
Xiuxiu looked at the woman in the bed with a venomous look in her eyes and gritted her teeth. "You're my elder sister. Aren't you ashamed of stealing your sister's man? Aren't you afraid that I'll tell this to others?"
"Sister, you'd better think it through. If this gets out, it won't just be me who will be ashamed. Maybe it will involve my husband and the entire town head's mansion." The eldest miss wasn't worried about Xiuxiu's threat at all. Anyway, her reputation was already ruined, and this wouldn't make it any worse.
Originally, the town head didn't plan to interfere in this matter, but his eldest daughter's words reminded him that this matter couldn't be spread.
"Son - in - law, you see what should have happened has already happened. How about you take her in? You can just treat her as a maid on a daily basis." The town head said with an apologetic smile to Mu Rendong.
Mu Rendong gave the woman in the bed a disgusted look. Knowing that he couldn't offend the town head for the time being, he reluctantly agreed, but only after asking for a lot of compensation from the town head. He had been so frightened. How could this matter be left unresolved?
After seeing off the town head, Mu Rendong looked at Xiuxiu. Even after spending a night in the firewood shed, it didn't ruin her beauty. Instead, it gave Xiuxiu a kind of disheveled charm.
A man in the morning is most likely to be impulsive, especially Mu Rendong, a womanizer. He immediately picked up Xiuxiu and walked towards the next room.
"My dear wife suffered last night. I will definitely make it up to you today." As he said this, he kissed Xiuxiu on the face. Looking at her blushing cheeks, he smiled contentedly.
Xiuxiu lay on Mu Rendong's shoulder. Where he couldn't see, she looked at the eldest miss fiercely. Just wait. In the future, she would never let that slut have a good time!
A man in his thirties was standing on a pile of ruins. He looked at the large expanse of ruins and was instantly panicked. He kept rummaging through them. His hands were soon blistered, but he didn't stop.
"Dad! Mom! Where are you? Your son is back to see you!" Qian Tu shouted at the surrounding ruins, but no one answered him. He slumped to the ground dejectedly.
He was the number - one constable in the capital, always working for the emperor. He knew he had offended many people, but he never thought those people would be so crazy that they wouldn't even spare the old people!
Qian Tu's eyes were blood - red, and he was about to investigate who had done this. He had only taken two steps when he met an old man staggering towards him.
"Are you... A Tu?" The old man obviously recognized Qian Tu and spoke up.
"Uncle Li? Why are you here? And do you know what happened to my family? Where are my parents?" Qian Tu looked at Uncle Li and asked.
"It's really strange. That day, there was a sudden fire in your house. No matter how hard the villagers tried, they couldn't put it out. By the time the fire was extinguished, your parents..." Uncle Li sighed. "Please accept my condolences."
"Was there anything strange that happened that day?" Qian Tu clenched his fists and forced himself to stay calm.
Uncle Li first shook his head, but then he seemed to remember something quickly. "Come to think of it, there was a young man who came to ask for directions that day. He wanted to go to the capital, but how would we know the way? Later, he went to your house, and not long after, your house caught fire."
As Uncle Li said this, he also became suspicious. "Could it be that this fire was set by that person? This brute!" Uncle Li's face turned red with anger, and he kept cursing.
"Uncle Li, do you still remember what that person looked like?" Qian Tu took a step forward and asked.
