I'm reborn, only a fool would spoil you

The yard was quiet.

The old lady had been imprisoned for so many days that she had lost her initial enthusiasm.

Her hands and feet were tied to the beauty bed with thick hemp ropes, leaving red marks on her wrists and ankles, and a handkerchief was stuffed in her mouth.

It's difficult to even hum a few times.

But when Mu Shaoheng's figure appeared in front of her, the old lady suddenly became excited, and struggled frantically with her hands and feet, making the beauty bed creak.

The old eyes stared at Mu Shaoheng and he was about to curse.

But, there was a handkerchief in her mouth, and no matter how hysterically she screamed, all she could make were "woooo" and "woooo" sounds.

Just like a clown.

Mu Shaoheng looked coldly at the old witch in front of him, as if he wanted to hear what she had the nerve to say now, so he quickly pulled the handkerchief out of her mouth.

"Mu Shaoheng, you are such an ungrateful bastard. I have worked so hard to raise you and gave away hundreds of years of family business of the Southwest Mu Mansion to a stranger who has no blood relationship with me!"

"...You have instigated the inheritance of the Southwest Mu Mansion and gained huge benefits, but you are not grateful to me. You will be punished!"

Haha, is Mu Shaoheng an outsider with no blood relationship?

Did he steal the family business?

He is obviously the only son born to his father and his beloved woman, and is the most qualified person to inherit the family business!

The old witch knew it clearly, but she deliberately denied his true identity and tried her best to throw dirty water on him!

He is really bad to the core!

Mu Shaoheng laughed softly twice, and simply followed the old witch's words and replied to her slowly:

"Yes, I am not grateful to you."

"Not only will I not be grateful to you, but in the next two months, I will also confiscate the homes of all your Shen family members, throw them into prison, and exile them. Regardless of gender, age, or status, all will be forced to death on the road to exile..."

"Uproot your Shen family and make it disappear completely from the southwest."

"You dare!" The old lady glared with her eyes wide open, using so much force that her eyes almost burst.

Mu Shaoheng insisted on adding another sentence in her ear:

"Especially your favorite Shen Yixiao, I will definitely...'pay special attention' to him. Old witch, you know that I, Mu Shaoheng, always do what I say, so just wait and see."

"You——" The old lady's eyes turned red with anxiety, and her eyeballs were quickly filled with red bloodshot.

As a result, he was so angry that he vomited a mouthful of blood, and his chest was covered in blood.

Seeing his enemy anxious and collapsing, Mu Shaoheng felt for the first time how satisfying it was to take revenge.

Zhenguogongfu.

It is said that Fu Yuzheng decided to marry Gao Shu off to a distant place, and asked the matchmaker to select a suitable candidate for the in-laws within three days.

The matchmaker in law was indeed the best matchmaker in the capital, and she actually came to the house on the third day.

Submit a list of other provinces.

It’s a pity that Fu Yuzheng looked at it again and again, but still wasn’t very satisfied.

So the mother-in-law went back to choose.

Six days later, the mother-in-law came again with a new list, and this time she was full of confidence.

"Oh? There's a new candidate?" Fu Yuzheng sat down in the main seat in the main hall, glanced at her mother-in-law who had failed three or four times in a row, and joked with a smile.

The bride came forward with a big smile on her face, handed over the roster and said, "I guarantee that Madam Gao will be satisfied this time. If Madam Gao is still not satisfied, I will not take the balance of one thousand taels."

Yo, so confident?

Fu Yuzheng took the list out of respect.

Open it and take a look.

There was only one family written inside - the third son of the Shen family in the southwest, Shen Yixiao.

After just one glance, Fu Yuzheng burst into laughter.

"Shen Yixiao? The nephew of the old lady of the Southwest Mu Mansion?" Fu Yuzheng nodded and said, "My mother-in-law is really thoughtful. I like this candidate very much."

Why?

Not only is Shen Yixiao a playboy who often visits brothels, he is also currently in the late stages of syphilis and will not live for many more years.

(The three imperial doctors who were originally responsible for his treatment would have spread the news throughout the capital. However, Mu Shaoheng paid hush money and strictly prohibited it from being spread outside, so the people in the capital did not know about it.)

According to the local customs in the southwest, once Shen Yixiao dies, the widow can never remarry and can only die in her husband's family for the rest of her life.

Do you think this marriage is suitable?

Especially to the outside world, everyone knew that the Southwestern Mu Mansion was extremely powerful, and the in-laws, the Shen family, were also a prominent family in the southwest. Because of the relationship with Princess Fu Yusu, the two families were considered to be "close relatives."

As the eldest sister-in-law, Fu Yuzheng found such a marriage for her younger sister-in-law, and others could only praise her and never slander her.

Do you think this marriage is suitable?

It doesn't get any better than this, okay!

Therefore, Fu Yuzheng readily gave Yin Niang the balance of 1,000 taels and gave her a new task with a smile:

"I will first inform the Zhenbian Wang and his wife about this marriage tomorrow. As for when you will come to propose marriage, just wait for the news from this lady."

After that, Fu Yuzheng added another two hundred taels of silver as errand fee.

When my mother-in-law saw the extra two hundred taels of silver, she was so excited that she almost wanted to scream on the spot.

By being a matchmaker, she earned two hundred, one thousand, and two hundred taels in one go. Oh my God, the total of the three times... it was a full fourteen hundred taels!

She's rich, really rich. After doing this, she can rest for several years!

Madam Gao, I love you so much.

Because of this, the mother-in-law tried even harder to bring Gao Shu and Shen Yi together. No matter which wealthy family's mansion she visited, she would pretend to reveal the news unintentionally whenever she got the chance.

"Gao Shu is so lucky. After her engagement was rejected, she actually fell in love with the cousin of the King of Zhenbian... I'm afraid they will become even closer."

So, before the marriage was officially finalized, Gao Shu and Shen Yixiao were already tied together.

One pass ten, ten pass a hundred.

Within a few days, the story became known to everyone in the aristocratic circles of the capital.
