It was simply a blow to his head, causing him to bleed profusely. He was stupefied.

Actually, what she said was right. He was so useless, and he could only bring disaster to the village. Living was truly wasting food.

Chen Ergou looked dejected, looking Chen Mu Mu Mu in the eyes, and only found his voice after a long while.

"Since I'm so useless, why did you save me?"

It would be better for Chen Baifu to just beat him to death, so that she wouldn't find him so unpleasant to look at.

"I didn't mean to save you." Chen Mu Mu rolled his eyes and retracted the hand that was pinching his chin. He snorted, "I wish for you to die. I want to live a clean life!"

"You …" He couldn't even muster up the words to curse someone with this venomous tongue.

"However, you are my brother." Chen Mu Mu scoffed, "I want you to die, but I can't do anything about it. My body is simply too weak. Seeing that you are about to die, I couldn't resist rushing out and accidentally saved you."

Lu Jinfeng, "..."

Chen Ergou, "..."

He was obviously trying to save her out of good intentions, but he had to say it in such a harsh manner.

Chen Ergou stared at them for a long time, he took a deep breath, his stomach full of grievance, he did not turn his head, but his eyes were filled with pain.

"I'm such a bastard, you shouldn't save me. Leave, I won't see you again in the future."

"It's right to have this kind of self-consciousness. When I see you, I can only feel a lump in my stomach." Chen Mu Mu shrugged his shoulders and threw the five hundred taels of silver and the five hundred taels of silver into his pocket, "Take it. This is the best property your damned father left you. How long you can keep it up is your own business. After we part ways, your death has nothing to do with me."

This mouth was too cheap to listen to a good word.

Chen Ergou's heart was filled with worry and grievance, he returned the silver and banknotes back to her: "I don't want it, since I'm prepared to die, it would be a waste to spend the silver, take this!"

Lu Jinfeng was shocked, what the boy meant was, after they leave, they would not be able to live?

He turned his head to look at Chen Mu Mu Mu, with Chen Mu Mu's intelligence, how could he not understand the meaning behind Chen Ergou's words?

"That's your problem, there's no need to tell me. I don't have such an annoying brother anyway." He pushed the silver back, "Take it. I find Chen Tang's things dirty, keep it for yourself."

"I don't want it either!" Chen Ergou was enraged, he threw the things on the ground fiercely, "That old thing's stuff is dirty, I don't want it!"

"No problem, the two of you are about the same." Chen Mu Mu Mu advised 'kindly', "When these two items are considered to be black, there's no need to divide them so clearly."

Chen Ergou glared at her with his eyes. He was embarrassed, angry, angry, afraid, sad, and wronged.

Chen Mu Mu Mu acted as though he didn't see anything. "Anyway, you like to gamble, and like to poke around. This money doesn't matter where it comes from, Chen Tang won't blame you. "This is my sister's last bit of human consolation. I won't bother with you anymore."

Chen Mu Mu raised his head, inhaled a deep breath of fresh air and then called out to Lu Jinfeng: "The matter is settled, let's go."

"Alright." Lu Jinfeng followed behind her obediently with a confused look on his face, "So fast?"

He still didn't understand. The reason she came all the way to the Chen family village was to cut off all ties with her family?

"Not yet." Hearing Lu Jinfeng's words, Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu seemed to have forgotten something, her gaze swept past the County Magistrate and the rest, slowing her pace, as she turned and walked towards the County Magistrate and his wife.

"What else do you want?" The magistrate shook his head as he spoke.

After today's incident, in his eyes, Chen Mu Mu Mu's party was already demons.

If she couldn't beat him, then she had to say it. Now that he didn't have a thousand taels of silver and his arm was twisted, what else could she do?

"Don't worry. You are a father and mother official. I won't touch you for now." Chen Mu Mu smiled as he patted him on the shoulder, "Lord Magistrate, I'm a good person."

The county magistrate's eyes widened, "How much more money do you want? Just say it."

The pain in her arm had yet to be healed. She said that she was a good person. Who was she lying to?

"One cannot be greedy. A thousand silver is more than enough." Chen Mu Mu Mu squatted in front of him and chuckled, "County Magistrate, although you are an official and I am a citizen, we have already become so stiff. There are some words that I have no choice but to discuss with you, so that you won't be muddle-headed and cause trouble for me."

The magistrate stared at her without a word.

Chen Mu Mu Mu didn't intend to wait for him to speak, so he continued, "Lord Magistrate, as you can see, I don't have any other skills, except that I have guts. [You are an official and I am a citizen, yet I still dare to threaten you …] Do you know why? "

Wasn't it because she had a valiant little girl by her side? Otherwise, as a stately county's father and mother, how could he allow himself to be ruthlessly smacked in the face by her? The magistrate blew his eyebrows and beard in silence.

"Of course, the value of martial arts is one thing. It's not that I'm boasting to you, but those trash from your yamen really aren't even enough to be worthy of my brother." "I know that you've suffered a loss today and that you will definitely seek revenge in the future. However, I advise you to save your time. After all, you know that the difference in martial arts is too great, so no matter how many people you go to, you will end up losing face for nothing."

Was this to advise him not to take revenge? The magistrate was silent and sullen.

She told him not to take revenge on her, but not to take revenge on her? After suffering such a huge loss, he had thought about it with just a few threatening words. Did they treat him, a Grade 7 County Magistrate, as a sick cat?

Chen Mu didn't care what he thought, his smile was as innocent as ever. "I advise you not to take revenge, there's another reason within. Magistrate, you should know my identity, right? Chen Tang's daughter was sold to the Apricot Rain Village later on, but have you heard about what happened after arriving at the village? "

County Magistrate was startled: "What do you mean?"

This name of Chen Mu Mu had been spread around by the Shangguan family, as well as the poison pastries case. As long as there was any power within the country, who wouldn't know of this name?

But so what? No matter how famous he was, he was still just a merchant. Furthermore, he was a merchant with a stain on his reputation.

The County Magistrate suddenly exclaimed: "You aren't thinking of using this to bribe this county so that you can do business here in the county, are you?"

"You don't believe me when I say you're stupid." Chen Mu glanced at him. "If I had a request for you, would I dare to take a thousand taels of silver from you? Would I dare to hit you?"

Although the words sounded terrible, it was true.

The County Magistrate became annoyed: "Then what do you want to say?"

"Since you know about my poison pastries case, you should also know how I was released from prison." Chen Mu Mu smiled as he noticed the sudden change in his expression. "That's why I advise you not to offend me. After all, the power behind me is not something you can afford to offend."

"You!" County Magistrate's Madam, who was standing closer, heard Chen Mu Mu Mu's words and held her breath.

Others might not know, but anyone with a bit of power within the Linzhou City would know how many people were supporting Chen Mu Mu's case.

The Shangguan Family was one of them, while the Senior Messenger Chen Liang was the other. Most importantly, there was also a royal relative that even a hundred County Magistrate s couldn't afford to offend — Li King Qin Tianshui.

Helping to solve a case was nothing. After all, being an official meant that they had to take responsibility for the people. But in the eyes of those dirty people, how many powers would help someone without any background for no reason?

Deep down, if all these powers were related to Chen Mu Mu …

The County Magistrate and Madam County Magistrate trembled, their backs trembling in fear.

If Chen Mu Mu Mu really had a relationship with the Li King, it wouldn't be hard to understand why she didn't respect the local officials anymore!

"It's good that you understand. I will only say those words once. If you all do not listen, then the calamity that has come to you will have nothing to do with me." Chen Mu Mu Mu smiled and patted County Magistrate's shoulder as he stood up, and then casually threw the jade pendant that Qin Tianshui gave him down to the ground.

She turned around and wanted to leave, but County Magistrate, who had picked up the jade, refused.

"Lady, Lady Chen." County Magistrate's hands that were holding onto the jade pendant trembled, his expression was uglier than crying. "Your jade dropped."

As a greedy official, he had naturally seen quite a few good things. This piece of jade, Chen Mu Mu Mu's, was entirely white and flawless. Furthermore, it had a faint stream of light flowing through it, making it an extraordinary object that one would be unable to buy even in the market.

How could a commoner wear such a priceless item?

At this time, the County Magistrate had basically believed everything he said to Chen Mu.

"Thank you very much." Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu grabbed the jade pendant in the County Magistrate's hands, and looked at the sun for a while, then laughed: "This is a friend that gave it to me, and said it's extremely precious. If I lose it, I won't be able to explain myself in the future."

Hearing this, County Magistrate's heart sank even more.

Although the County Magistrate was irritable, she was not very stupid. Seeing the County Magistrate's heavy face, she immediately shut her mouth, not daring to say anything.

Upon seeing the expressions on the faces of the two of them, a mocking smile could be seen on Chen Mu's face.

In this world, the scariest thing wasn't the facts, but guesswork. It was because speculations were often used to magnify illusory objects, and then, one would scare oneself.

In terms of truth, she did not have any background, but in the guesses of the people, her status would only get more and more honorable.

Because they guessed, the County Magistrate would not dare to rashly make a move against them.

"Lady Chen." Seeing her take the jade pendant, County Magistrate pondered for a while, then said, "The grudge between your father and Chen Baifu, in the end, was because you owed them a gambling debt, and then you took a thousand taels of silver from us. Since you took Chen Baifu's money, we will bury your father deeply, so that will be the end of this matter, right?"

Back then, when Chen Mu Mu Mu had obtained the silver, he had wanted nothing more than for Chen Mu to die. Now he was glad that she had taken a thousand silver.

Otherwise, Chen Baifu would have to pay with his life.

"Naturally." Chen Mu Mu nodded. "People can't be revived even if they die. You guys have also given us a sum of money, so let's forget about this matter."

She looked deeply at County Magistrate, "But in the future, if anyone touches my family members, you will know what to do."

"This county knows, this county knows." County Magistrate wiped off the sweat on his forehead and promised solemnly, "Don't worry, your brother Chen Ergou is at Chen Family Village. In the future, I will definitely protect him and not let him bully you."

With the hard and soft answers from County Magistrate, and with no answers to the questions that he wanted to ask, Chen Mu Mu brought Lu Jinfeng and prepared to leave the Chen Family Village.

However, when they arrived at the village entrance, his tail was still sticking to his back.

Chen Mu's face darkened as he glared at the youth who was following closely behind him: "Chen Ergou, why aren't you coming back to your house?"
