"Mom, don't be like this. If you say there's no stealing, then there's no stealing." Lu Jinfeng consoled the Madam Li by holding his arm.

Madam Li's expression was still sluggish as he helplessly looked at Chen Mu Mu Mu and said in a low voice: "Mu Mu, I really didn't steal the money."

She was used to being humble and humble. It was so easy for her to feel a little bit of respect. However, in the next moment, she was once again thrown onto the ground. She felt humble and sad.

When Chen Mu saw Madam Li like this, he felt unwell hearing her tone. He sighed and was about to speak, but Lin Qiu'er had already started mocking him.

"Cousin, Aunt said she didn't steal anything, so she didn't steal anything. What exactly do you suspect? Don't tell me Aunt is actually greedy for this little bit of money?" Even if Aunt Xiao Feng did not steal the money, even if she took it and used it, with her son's money, what would you be angry about?

Chen Mu Mu's eyebrows shot up as he stared at Lin Qiu'er with a peculiar expression on his face.

Originally, Madam Li did not admit to stealing. Now that Lin Qiu'er mentioned it, it became like Madam Li stole it.

He also encouraged the Madam Li to change her mind. If the Madam Li agreed that all of the money in her house was Lu Jinfeng's and Lu Jinfeng's money was also from the Madam Li, it would be normal for her to use the money even if she took it.

However, there was no reason for the Madam Li's resentment. After all, everyone in the village knew that the reason Lu Jinfeng's family could have such a wealthy family today was mostly because of Chen Mu Mu. She would definitely be infuriated if she took all the money Chen Mu had painstakingly earned as her own.

In this way, the relationship and trust between Madam Li and herself would be destroyed, and resentment towards each other would arise in their hearts, forming a barrier.

If she was estranged from the Madam Li, how could her relationship with Lu Jinfeng be any better?

Three birds with one stone, what a poisonous move.

While he was thinking, the villagers had already started discussing amongst themselves.

All these years under the poison of Madam Niu and his family, the villagers had a bad impression of his character. After witnessing today's scene, those who wanted to curry favor with Chen Mu Mu and those who wanted to see his family's happiness all ridiculed him.

"I never thought that the Madam Li was actually such a person. Stolen away my daughter-in-law's money? Shameless."

"How is this a daughter-in-law? She's clearly a goddaughter!" However, this goddaughter of hers actually dares to say the word 'fuck'? She dares to bully Chen Mu Mu Mu in such a manner, how outrageous. "

"Who doesn't know how poor and miserable this family was in the past? If not for Chen Mu, how could she and Lu Jinfeng live a good life? Some people just cannot be nice to her. Once they are nice to her, they will take an inch from her, and they won't even know how high the sky and how deep the earth is. "

"Chen Mu Mu is a womanizer. Initially, it was already difficult for a woman to make an appearance in public for business. Yet, she still steals money from him. Chen Mu Mu sure has a tough life ahead of him."

"You're still acting as if it's natural. I really wonder where she got the face from." In the future, when everyone sees her, they should be more careful.

Although the majority of the people were "indignant" towards Chen Mu Mu, there were still many people who supported the Madam Li.

With Lu Yulian as the leader: "Isn't it clear that my sister-in-law stole the money? What does the elder want with the money that the junior took, filial piety? Isn't it supposed to be filial piety as a daughter? Moreover, this is Lu Jinfeng's home from the beginning, and not Chen Mu's. "

Once she said this, someone immediately echoed her words: "They already said they would marry and marry. Although Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu did not go to worship with Lu Jinfeng, she is still a daughter of the Lu family, and is of the same family. As for being like a defender, how about taking some money?

"That's right, normally, this family lives quite well, but I never thought that the Madam Li would be in such a predicament. Not only are they working hard but they don't have any money, they are also under all kinds of suspicions. Even Madam Li was unlucky to have such a stingy goddaughter. "

"Pei, keep your voice down. What are you talking about? Do you still want to work here? Even if Chen Mu Mu fails, I can still give you 100 copper coins every month! "

Everyone found it difficult to speak, but they could not stop him. They felt their hearts clench when they heard this.

Chen Mu Mu Mu looked around, and other than the villagers chattering, the Madam Li, under Lu Yulian and Lin Qiu'er's instigation, pursed his lips tightly, his face turning extremely ugly.

Mu Mu, I didn't steal the money. I just went in to look for something." Madame Li didn't pay attention to the crowd's comments, she only looked fixedly at Chen Mu Mu Mu as she spoke.

Although her voice was low and her figure was bleak, her eyes were perturbed and filled with desire.

He longed for trust and understanding.

Chen Mu Mu's heart couldn't help but twitch. She had once experienced such feelings of unease and longing due to a misunderstanding.

At that time, she really hoped that someone could understand her trust. Unfortunately, from start to finish, her heart had turned cold from waiting. She had never been able to meet that person.

And now, with the change of position, there was someone who wanted her understanding and trust.

That person was the Madam Li, someone who once gave her water to feed and warmth when she was helpless.

Not to mention that Madam Li did not steal anything, even if Madam Li stole her silver, she could not say anything about Madam Li.

After all, Madam Li and Lu Jinfeng had once saved her life.

Furthermore, there was no conclusive evidence and proof that the Madam Li had stolen something. If it was really innocent, then her suspicions were too much of an injury to the Madam Li.

It was all Lu Yulian and Lin Qiu'er's fault, the mother and daughter pair who only desired to stir up trouble.

Chen Mu Mu Mu lowered her gaze and took a deep breath. When she raised her head, her eyes were clear and calm, as she grabbed onto Madam Li's cold hands.

"Mom, I believe you. You didn't steal anything."

"Since sister-in-law did not steal anything, then why is it that the things in your room are nowhere to be seen? You can't possibly grow wings and run away, right?" Lu Yulian did not want to let the two off so easily.

"That's right, it's impossible for Silver Coin to run away. Cousin, only aunt has entered your room today. If you say Aunt is not a thief, then you must be lying and purposely making things difficult for Aunt?" Lin Qiu'er was even more unwilling to let go of any opportunity to make things difficult for her.

Truly, no matter what we do, it is wrong. It is wrong to trust the Madam Li, and the consequences are even worse if we don't trust the Madam Li.

"It seems that Aunt and Cousin are very interested in my mother and me. You should know that there are not only Xiao Feng, my mother and I here in this family; my silver has indeed disappeared, but who knows, my mother must have stolen it?"

"Today, I left the key on the table, and I'm not in the courtyard. Anyone who finds the key will be able to enter my room, and that person might not be just my mother."

After pausing for a moment, her gaze became deep, and her tone contained a bit of ridicule: "I don't understand, you instigated my mother's relationship to such an extent, forcing me to think that my mother was a thief, forcing me to admit that I hid the money myself, what exactly is your intention? If I remember correctly, you are my mother's best friends, and my family has never treated you unfairly, so why can't you meet us well like this? "

Madam Li's eyes moved as he suddenly raised his head to look at Chen Mu Mu.

Glimmers danced in Lu Jinfeng's eyes as she glanced at Chen Mu Mu with a warm gaze. When her gaze landed on Lu Yulian and her daughter, it gradually turned cold.

The clamoring villagers were also shocked by Chen Mu Mu's words. When they thought from a different point of view, they were stunned for a moment and their voices trembled.

They only thought that maybe the Madam Li had stolen something, or maybe Chen Mu Mu Mu had intentionally said that she had lost her silver and framed the Madam Li, or maybe the whole family was at odds with her, but they had overlooked something — Lu Jinfeng's family had always looked at each other harmoniously, and had always been happy in front of outsiders, so why did they suddenly fall out and expose their disfigurement to the rest of the family?

Maybe they had forgotten something or maybe someone was trying to sow discord between the Madam Li and Chen Mu Mu Mu.

Thinking about it, it made sense. Ever since Lu Yulian and her daughter came to Xingyu Village, the questions about the Madam Li and Chen Mu's character were immediately spread around.

He said that he was a good aunt and his sister-in-law and their relationship was pretty good. However, after Lu Dayi died of illness, Madam Li and Lu Jinfeng lived in such a predicament that they stepped into the coffin several times. Why didn't Lu Yulian and her daughter lend a hand?

When Lu Jinfeng recovered, and when Madam Li's life stabilized, this mother and daughter pair would come to their doorsteps.

Putting aside Chen Mu Mu and Madam Li's morals, the morals of Lu Yulian and her daughter were definitely not that good.

To stir trouble between the Madam Li and Chen Mu at this juncture, he must have ulterior motives.

Feeling the strange gazes from the villagers, Lu Yulian and Lin Qiu'er became anxious. Lu Yulian pretended to be angry and stared at Chen Mu Mu: "What a sharp tongued girl. Qiu'er and I normally do not treat you lightly, why are you using such malicious intents to deal with us? I am like a sister to my sister-in-law, so it would be great if I could meet her. "

"Chen Mu Mu Mu, you only know how to spout nonsense, you are the one who wrongly accused a good person!" "I was clearly doing this for your own good. You asked us who it was that came into your room, and if we didn't say that you were unhappy, but if I said that you were trying to stir up feelings between us, then we would have said that it was because of us. I didn't want to say it, but I told you that the answer would be very hurtful. You insisted on listening, and in the end, it hurt Aunt's heart, so you poured the dirty water on Mother and me. "

She pursed her lips and spoke in a voice filled with righteous indignation and tears. "It's just that you despise me and my mother for eating in your house for a few days, and you don't need to use such a method to chase us away. My mother and I are innocent, so if you didn't welcome us, then you shouldn't have invited us to visit your house. Now that you've come, you're slandering us like this."

"When did I slander you? Did you not say that my mother entered my room?" "Did you not intentionally cause my imagination to run wild, but I, what did I say?" Chen Mu Mu Mu asked with a smile that wasn't a smile, as he was completely unfazed by her performance. "Lin Qiu'er, if you didn't have evil intentions, why did you make me misunderstand my mother?"

"I wanted to help you when I saw that you were in a hurry. What's more, I'm not wrong. Aunt really did enter your room." "Doubt is like a seed, and once planted, it will take root and sprout. Even if I don't say anything, you would eventually find out eventually, and before that, you would misunderstand Aunt and have a grudge against her. and if it was punctured earlier, you all wouldn't have to suffer so much. "

This mouth, it really knows how to speak, the black can even be turned into white.

Chen Mu smirked as his lips curled into a mocking smile. "So, do I have to thank you for your good intentions in saying such things?"

"Indeed, I meant well. However, I am still young and have yet to fully consider things." She walked forward and pulled on Madam Li's sleeve, tears in her eyes. "Aunt, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to wrongly accuse you. I really did want to resolve the conflict between you and my cousin, and didn't want the gap between you two to be resolved."

With such a beautiful and cute face, her pitiful expression, and her clever speech, even if she did do something wrong, who would be able to bear with blaming her? Too innocent a face.

People were always willing to show more tolerance towards beauties.

Madam Li sighed, patted Lin Qiu'er's hand and said: "Qiu Er, don't be sad. Aunt believes that you are not that kind of person."

After speaking, her gaze shifted to Chen Mu Mu Mu as she explained in a weak voice, "Mu Mu, perhaps you have misunderstood. Xiao Lian and Qiu Er are not people with ill intentions."

Lu Yulian and Lin Qiu'er didn't have any bad intentions, but was she the only one who had bad intentions?

Chen Mu Mu was so angry that she turned her head away, not wanting to pay any more attention to Madam Li's Mary Su.

Even before settling his own matters, he still had to first take pity on others.
