Countryside Romance

Mu Yun was very pleased. She took advantage of the good profits from the store and improved the delivery tools for the delivery workers.

At first they used wooden boxes; then more orders, and they changed them to delicate boxes of food, only they looked beautiful, but like wooden boxes, they didn't have much of a thermal insulation.

However, of the customers that the delivery boy was familiar with, some preferred the slightly hot taste of the brine while others preferred the cold one. Mu Yun went to the carpenter and ordered some food boxes specially for Lin Li.

The insulated food box was nailed with thick cotton wool, and after the taste of the salt was placed inside, it could keep the food warm for a long time. However, the other type of food box was made into two layers. In the space between the inner layer and the outer layer, he could place some ice or ice water to cool down the things he put in as quickly as possible.

She was introducing the two suitable uses to the boys when she heard a commotion outside the shop.

Xue Er walked in from outside the shop and said:

"Someone set up an incense table in front of the shop, and even placed a cauldron and incense sticks in front of it."

Hearing this, Mu Yun knew that these were all used as sacrificial offerings. No matter who it was, there were only two reasons why these items were placed in front of their store:

One was that he felt that they could be revered as gods, and that he had to offer them incense to show his respect. The other was that he had to offer them worship as a dead man, hoping that they would die soon.

Mu Yun had never felt that what she had done was commendable, so the person who sent these things over must be cursing her.

She led the four workers, the two guards, and Xue Er to the door.

Behind the fragrant table, there was a person dressed like a Daoist priest. He was currently dancing with her whisk, and his movements were strange as he danced with something.

Mu Yun was shocked. She didn't expect that she was going to drive a ghost to kill a demon.

Had someone found out that she wasn't the real Muyun?

Her heart turned cold.

She signaled the two guards to come and seize the Taoist when they arrived.

However, when they reached the Taoist, they were suppressed by a group of people rushing towards them.

That group of people wore the same uniform attire with the word 'Gu' embroidered on the chest. When she had gone to the capital with Lin Jinyan, the Gu household servants had blocked her way. At this moment, looking at their clothing, one could tell that this group of people were Gu Residence servants.

She originally thought that Yan Wu had brought this group of servants to find trouble with her, but she didn't expect that the person who separated the servants was Lady Gu.

Madam Gu took the lead and pointed at Mu Yun the moment she saw her. She scolded:

"You seductress, and now you're in town." "I didn't see you before, but now that I see you, you can just wait for me to take you with me."

There was a large crowd of onlookers surrounding them. When they heard the words that came out of Madam Gu's mouth, they couldn't help being alarmed.

Mu Yun wasn't very famous in the town, but as long as he took a child with him to her shop, the child would definitely get some candy. Therefore, over the past few months, all the children in the town had become very fond of Mu Yun. Therefore, the children, including the child's family, were deeply impressed by Mu Yun's shop.

Now that they heard Madam Gu say this, most of them did not believe her words.

Madam Gu was waiting for Mu Yun's expression to change. Upon hearing that the surrounding people didn't believe her words, she hurriedly stood out and said:

I have a servant that saw her fall down a cliff. The cliff is so high, how can there still be a life left? She must have been possessed by some monster to be able to stand here in perfect condition! Normally, when she was in the mansion, she was a timid and ignorant person. Now that she had fallen, she started a shop instead. "Don't be fooled by her mischievous look. She is actually a monster!

Mu Yun was originally afraid that someone would discover that she wasn't the original owner, but upon hearing her words, she suddenly remembered that the original owner of this body had fallen off the cliff because of the Gu family.

And the person who had trapped her in that state was none other than Madam Gu.

Since she had obtained this body, she had to avenge it. At any moment, Madam Gu was actually inverting the truth and calling for the culprit to be caught. Immediately, she gestured to the waiters and guards nearby.

Because Mu Yun's method of managing the shop was very extraordinary, it made her shop very popular. Her peers would more or less be jealous, and they would occasionally find trouble with Mu Yun. Mu Yun experienced a lot, so she discussed some general countermeasures with the employees and the guards in the shop, and also set down some small moves and hints.

At this moment, with a single glance, the guards and servants immediately covered her, allowing her to walk smoothly in front of Madam Gu. All those who tried to stop her were stopped by them.

When Madam Gu saw her walking in front of her with such an aggressive manner, she couldn't help trembling in fear. However, Mu Yun simply raised her hand and gave her a slap.

When she made her move, she thought about how Lin Jinyan and Madam Huang had encouraged her to beat someone up a few days ago. She didn't expect that she would teach them a lesson so easily.

"You are the true demon possession. Before, when I was in the Gu Residence, I had to work as hard as I wanted. But now that you beat me and scolded me, I've never said a word to refute you. I have never been wrong, but you are deducting my wages every day for strange reasons. My Lin Li Shop will pay at least one hundred taels of silver a month to the waiters. I can only pay three taels of silver at the most, but I've worked for your Gu family for nearly ten years, and I can only get a few taels of money a month! After all, you all have provided me with a place to stay and fed me. "

Mu Yun recounted the story of how she was' herself 'one by one. Seeing Madam Gu's bewildered and uncertain expression, her heart was elated. She continued:

"But the thing that I can't stand the most is that I clearly didn't do anything, yet you said that I deliberately seduced Old Master Gu and even made me starve for three days and three nights. In the end, you actually threw me down the cliff. If it wasn't for the fact that there was a mother and daughter from the Chen family who wanted to get married on their behalf, I might have died in that place without a sound. Ever since I woke up, I've been thinking that I've broken off all ties with you. "Even though you guys protected me from growing up, you still tried to kill me in the end. This can be considered as me returning the favor, but I didn't expect you to still want to bite me back when you didn't go look for me."

What Mu Yun said was the truth, and Madam Gu was momentarily unable to refute it.

Just then, a voice came out:

"Madam Gu is very arrogant in the manor. Even I, as a fourth wife, have to live under her palm."

This person was indeed Yan Wu.

When she returned home at noon, she saw Madam Gu leading a group of servants out. She was very curious, so she followed Madam Gu here. She did not expect to see such a grand show.

She had originally wanted to let Madam Gu and Mu Yun bite each other, so she could sit back and enjoy the show.

However, after hearing Mu Yun speak of her previous experiences, she thought that Madam Gu's sincerity was truly malicious. Mu Yun had been so obedient as to stay in the Gu Estate and had been cleaned up by her before finally throwing down the cliff. Moreover, he had often gone against Madam Gu, so if she were to act arrogantly again in the future, wouldn't she torture him to death?

Therefore, she spoke up for Mu Yun, wanting to suppress Madam Gu.

After hearing Mu Yun and Yan Wu's words, the feelings they had for Madam Gu became even worse, so they gathered around the Daoist priest. Together with Mu Yun's assistant and the nurse, they tore up the altar and tied up the Daoist priest.

When Madam Gu saw that she had lost her vigor, she turned around and left in shame and indignation, leading her servants back to the Gu Estate.

Her anger couldn't be quelled. She let Ru Yi gather all the people who participated in throwing Mu Yun off the cliff. When everyone had arrived, Madam Gu began to curse loudly, saying that they were useless and couldn't do things well. She even ordered for their money to be deducted.

For a moment, the crowd was panic-stricken.

When Madam Gu saw how they owed her a beating, she became even angrier. She called for the guards to come in and beat up the servants.

Those people were all elders of the Gu Estate. When had they ever been punished like this? They all begged Madam Gu to show mercy.

In an instant, all sorts of cries and howls echoed in Madam Gu's courtyard.

When Gu Lingbo came back, he heard such a commotion. He didn't want to care about Madam Gu's actions, but he was stopped at the door by a wife and concubine.

That concubine was originally a servant of the Gu Estate.

Although she was Gu Lingbo's wife and concubine, she had no status in the clan. Her position in the clan was even worse than Madam Gu's beloved concubine. She was well aware of Gu Lingbo's kindness, so the only person she could rely on was her old father.

Now that her father had suffered, she had no choice but to beg for her father's life.

When Gu Shenwei saw the woman's beautiful face, he pulled her hand and helped her into his courtyard.

While instructing his subordinates to find out what sort of rage Madam Gu was in, he also began to use the method to cause trouble for the woman.

"What's your name?"

The woman looked at Gu Shenwei's anxious face. Although she was a bit annoyed, she still said obediently,

"My name is Lucky."

Gu Lingbo gently caressed the back of her hand while praising:

"Good name, good name."

Not long later, the person who asked around reported the whole story.

At this moment, Gu Ling Bo had already forgotten what Mu Yun looked like, so he thought she was an unimportant person. He dismissed his hand and told Lady Gu to stop. Then, he sank into a warm and gentle land.

Actually, he didn't care too much about the matters in the backyard. After so many years, he had left behind so many women that he liked, but the backyard had always been very peaceful because of Madam Gu's methods. He believed in Madam Gu's methods, which was to not interfere with her management of the backyard.

However, when he thought about it carefully, he felt that Madam Gu had been overdoing it recently.

In Madam Gu's courtyard.

Just as Madam Gu was about to erupt with rage, a light laugh suddenly came from the door.

She turned her head and saw that it was the cigarette she hated the most.

Seeing Madam Gu holding a whip and raising it up high, wanting to teach her servants a lesson, Yan Wu sneered:

"Since there's no way to find trouble with the rightful owner, let's make things difficult for the people beneath us. Madam Gu seems very narrow-minded."

Madam Gu narrowed her eyes, looked at Yan Wu and said:

"I am not you. As long as you are angry outside, you will start killing people in the manor. The people who are kneeling on the ground right now are the ones that I told them to do badly. They are careless when doing things. Shouldn't I teach them a lesson? "

Yan Wu smiled even more wantonly as he looked at Madam Gu's slightly distorted face due to her anger. She said:

"Isn't it just an attempted murder? These servants probably have good intentions and aren't as vicious as you. When they want to kill you, they just can't do it and you shouldn't reward them instead. "

Madam Gu was infuriated. She wanted to lash Yan Wu in the face.

The smoke quickly escaped.

She did not expect that Madam Gu would be angered to this extent. She did not care about her face and wanted to disfigure her.

"You're just a lowly aunt, how dare you spout nonsense in front of me. Who gave you the guts?"
