Seeing that Qin Tiansei was not particularly sad, Chen Mu and Lu Jinfeng were stunned for a long time before saying: "My condolences."

"I will." Qin Tiansei nodded, his expression turning anxious. He removed a jade pendant from his waist and handed it over to Lu Jinfeng.

"In the future, when you are in the capital, if you need anything, you can look for me in the Li King Palace."

Is it just Li King Palace?

Chen Mu's heart moved, and he said thanks, and asked: "Holding this jade pendant, is Li King willing to help you with something?"

"Girl, you are unwilling to lose anything because of this, I agree." Qin Tianshui smiled as his gaze swept past Chen Mu Mu Mu's head, as though he was praising her.

"This hairpin is rather suitable for you."

"It is indeed suitable." Chen Mu Mu Mu replied, "I really like it."

Qin Tiansei looked at her thoughtfully.

Afterwards, Qin Tianli was in a hurry to travel. The three of them did not talk much and left first.

Qin Tiansei's bodyguard had already been waiting outside with his horse early in the morning. Lu Jinfeng originally wanted to send Qin Tianliang to the town, but seeing that, he could only take back his words.

I'm in a hurry, I'm in a hurry." Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu Mu stared at the departing backs of Qin Tiansei and the rest as his heart grew heavy with emotion.

"You're reluctant to part with it?" Lu Jinfeng shot her a glance.

"It's not that I can't bear to part with it, it's just that this time of fun in Li King is like a gust of wind blowing past. Who knows how many people's lives it has wrinkled up." Chen Mu said.

"Because of the sudden rise of the wind, there will still be ripples even after the wind passes the water. Who knows when these ripples will stop?" Lu Jinfeng weighed the jade pendant in his hand, "This item is pure white and flawless, you can tell that it is high quality."

"If I sell it, I might be able to exchange it for a thousand gold." Chen Mu Mu Mu continued.

Lu Jinfeng was amused, "If I let you sell it, I'm afraid that Qin Tiansei will definitely not let you off in the future."

Giving such a priceless item to them was a gift from his heart. If they were unwilling to cherish it, Qin Tianli would probably go crazy.

"He never meant to let us go." "From the moment our Linzhou met with him, there has been a chaotic relationship between us."

As matters stood, they didn't think that Qin Tianshui coming back with them was just a coincidence.

"He probably knows about your background." Chen Mu Mu Mu said.

Not only that, he might even know something about her.

"If he's willing to express his goodwill, then he should be like a friend, not an enemy." Lu Jinfeng kept the jade pendant, "Maybe it will be useful in the future."

If Qin Tianli wanted to use them, couldn't they just use them back?

The Li King was also one of their stronger backers.

With Qin Tianshui gone, there was no longer a need to keep watch over him anymore. With Aunt Wang taking care of Madam Li, even though Chen Mu Mu Mu had persisted till the end, Lu Jinfeng still followed her to her village like a small tail.

"Now we are grasshoppers on the same boat. If anything happens to you, my life will be miserable." Lu Jinfeng's reasoning was very plentiful.

Chen Mu Mu Mu knew that the other party was stubborn, and since he couldn't be bothered to argue with him, he could only allow him to follow along.

Having a thug on her side didn't mean that there was nothing good for her.

Since the Chen family was able to betray their daughter, their family assets were naturally not that rich. In a broken house, even though Chen Mu Mu and Lu Jinfeng had changed into their worst attire and stood in front of them, they still felt a little out of place.

The word "rotten" could not be used to describe this house. It was leaking air, causing the door to sway so much that it was almost overturned by the wind.

"How can this house be occupied when winter is upon us?" Lu Jinfeng only glanced at it and sighed.

Even the house that he and Madam Li used to live in wasn't so simple and crude.

Although their house was dilapidated, it would not be to the extent of leaking wind or rain. Although their house did not have any thick clothes, the house had a charcoal fire burning inside and the door was blocked by the cold wind. It would not be so cold that it could kill people.

But this house, people living here in the middle of winter, would really take one's life.

"Don't pity them, they have hands and feet, it's only right that two men have to live to this extent."

Chen Tang was only slightly over thirty years old, and her older brother, who was a year older, was also about to turn fourteen. There were two men in the family, not lacking an arm or a leg, and their bodies were sturdy as well, yet, they had nothing to do all day.

He shouldn't even be like this if he were to toil for a bit.

The house was broken and there was no money to make a new one, but there was a lot of rotting bricks and tiles outside. With four hands, could they not mend the walls and roof?

She, Chen Mu, had just reached Lu Jinfeng's home and was in such a terrible situation.

Laziness was laziness. Where did all these excuses come from?

"They are your father and brother, after all." Lu Jinfeng looked at her, "Seeing that they are having a bad time, don't you feel sad at all?"

"Only the devil would feel sad for them. Selling me would have been enough for them to eat for three years. After turning around and spending it all, don't tell me that I still have to sympathize with them." Chen Mu snorted disdainfully, "Laughing at poverty and not at prostitution, laughing at laziness and not at filth. This family deserves to die of starvation and cold death."

Although he had the same thought in his heart, but …

Lu Jinfeng facepalmed, "Chen Mu Mu, they are your family after all."

I don't need to love you, and I don't need to be so slanderous.

"The water spilled by my married daughter, my loved ones aren't them." Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt.

A married daughter?

A trace of laughter appeared in Lu Jinfeng's eyes: "Chen Mu Mu, who did you marry?"

"A slip of the tongue." Chen Mu Mu didn't even look at him, his eyes filled with laughter, as he turned his head and spoke.

In the past, she could tease this pretty boy. But now, with just a few words, he was able to make her blush.

She was probably … It must be spring.

Just as she was feeling awkward, a woman walked by the door and saw her. After sizing her up for a moment, she asked uncertainly, "Chen Mu Mu?"

Chen Mu Mu examined her as well, searching through his memories to find the figure of this woman. He nodded his head, "It's me, Third Aunt."

Unlike the Lu Family's unfeeling relatives, Chen Tang, this sister-in-law, treated their family quite well. Chen Mu Mu Mu's mother left early, and Madam Yao usually took care of her and Chen Ergou quite a bit.

Madam Yao's husband and brother argued a few times, but after being angered, he did not allow Madam Yao to get close to them anymore, and said that he would bring harm to his own children. Thus, from two years ago, Madam Yao did not interact much with his family.

However, every time they met, the Madam Yao would still secretly feed the siblings.

"Mu Mu, you're back." Madam Yao's eyes were a little red, she pulled her hand and sized her up, "I heard that Big Bro sold you to Sick Seedling for a wife, how's your life right now, it's not hard, right?"

Sick, "..."

Chen Mu Mu Mu shook his head, "It's good now, the hardest will be over."

"That's good." Madam Yao sighed, her eyes filled with emotion, "Your father is not a good person, even selling his own daughter, but to stay away from such a family is good for you."

Calling her father a trash in front of his daughter, Madam Yao, you are too honest.

However, this kind of Madam Yao was more suitable for Chen Mu's taste.

She really wanted to praise anyone who dared to curse Chen Tang.

"Eh, this is?" After talking for a bit, Madam Yao noticed Lu Jinfeng who was beside Chen Mu. She sized him up a little and asked with uncertainty, "Your husband?"

Lu Jinfeng frowned. Just as she was about to praise her for her good eyesight, Chen Mu Mu Mu had already denied it.

"I met a foster mother in Xingyu Village. This is my foster brother."

Although the Madam Yao was treating her family decently, they were separated because she was the 'married off' daughter and did not want to interact much with the people here. Thus, she was unwilling to say much.

"It's not a husband." "Although her looks are good, she's too delicate and feminine. I'm afraid that she wouldn't even dare to kill a chicken, so isn't that good?"

Lu Jinfeng, who was too delicate and feminine, did not even dare to kill a chicken, "..."

Could he say that he was not only a chicken, he even dared to kill people?

Seeing that the atmosphere was off, afraid that Lu Jinfeng would go berserk, Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu immediately changed the topic: "Third Aunt, the door to the house is locked. Where is my father and brother?"

"Wherever else you can go, just hang around in the gambling den." "Speaking of Chen Tang and Chen Ergou, the Madam Yao had a face of disappointment," Ever since I sold you out, your father has become even more powerful, staying at the gambling den all day long. Your brother actually fought with him, if he can't beat him in a fight, then he'll admit it. "

The Madam Yao said as he carefully glanced at Chen Mu. "Your father is truly not a good person, but your brother … you shouldn't blame him."

Madam Yao sighed, "Having such a family and being powerless, other than gambling and drinking, I don't think I have anywhere else to go."

Chen Mu Mu Mu couldn't deny it.

In the previous owner's memory, Chen Tang was an old beast. Other than not having taken his own daughter as his own daughter, he could do anything else, doing whatever he wanted to scold her. Her impression of Chen Tang was nothing more than trash, not even a little smug.

As for Chen Ergou, for a father like him, naturally he would not have anything to cultivate. Fighting with others, running away from chickens and dogs and doing all sorts of bad things, in her eyes, he was just a piece of trash.

However, although Chen Ergou was scum, and was wretched and vulgar, he had never beat up his sister, and the two of them were usually not that close. Hearing Madam Yao say that Chen Tang had beaten up Chen Ergou when she was sold out by him, Chen Mu was stunned for a while.

But no matter what, none of the people in this family would bother her. Since they were all strangers, no matter how shameless Madam Yao said they were, she didn't care.

She was only concerned about Chen Tang's history.

She wanted to ask Chen Tang if she was his biological daughter, although Chen Tang had never treated her as a human being.

However, it was still possible for the ancient era to prioritize boys over girls. It was not impossible for their daughters to be reared cheaply.

Yao Sanniang looked at the sky and said, "They haven't come back for the whole night and probably won't be home until noon. It's so cold, why don't you come and sit at my house for a while?"

Chen Mu Mu rejected, "No need, he and I will wait outside for a while."

Pausing for a moment, he asked, "Third Aunt, is the tavern and gambling den that my father and the others often visited still the same place they used to be?"

Madam Yao nodded his head, but just as he was about to speak, a person ran out from the street and shouted: "Madam Yao, something happened in the gambling house, your big brother Chen Tang was beaten to death!"
