Chapter 739 Protection

Chapter 739: Protection Chapter 739: Protection Editor: Atlas Studios Mu Yangling pulled the two children up and pushed them aside.

Then, she looked at Old Madam Shu and Shu Shuniang with a frosty gaze.

Without waiting for them to speak, she turned to Rain and said, “Gag them and lock them in the backyard first.

Send them to the government office later.” Rain brought two maidservants forward and immediately gagged them.

Old Madam Shu whimpered as she looked at Mu Yangling and Shu Wanniang resentfully.

Pale-faced, Shu Wanniang went forward and grabbed Mu Yangling fiercely.

Her mouth was slightly agape as she looked at the two children with their heads lowered.

Yet in the end, she didn’t say anything.

However, the onlookers felt a chill and greeted Mu Yangling one after another.

Although they didn’t get a clear look at the two people who were taken away, they couldn’t be thieves or commoners since they could enter the backyard via the second floor.

However, since Princess Consort Rong said so, it must be so.

The female shopkeeper also rushed over.

She first apologized to Mu Yangling and then expressed that this matter would definitely be investigated strictly, and that she would definitely give Mu Yangling an explanation.

She was nervous because she was afraid that Mu Yangling would blame the silk shop for this.

Mu Yangling nodded slightly and didn’t pursue the matter.

She simply said a few words to everyone before leading them to the backyard.

Mu Yangling looked at the disheveled Old Madam Shu and Shu Shuniang and took a deep breath.

Then, she glared at Bosi and Kejia before instructing someone to tidy up Old Madam Shu and Shu Shuniang.

Mu Yangling sat in the hall with a cup of tea in her hand and didn’t say a word.

Rain tiptoed in and whispered, “Your Highness, we’ve already tidied up Old Madam Shu and Second Madam Zhang, but the injuries on their faces…” Mu Yangling put down the tea lid and said, “Where are the others from the Shu family?” “Fourth Madam of the Shu family is waiting in a private room on the second floor.” “Bring her here and let her take Old Madam Shu and Shu Shuniang away.” When Madam Shu-Fang heard the commotion in the backyard, she’d wanted to come over and take a look at the situation, but their private room was a little far away.

By the time they arrived, Mu Yangling and the others had already left, leaving only the onlookers to guess who the two people were in hushed voices.

Judging from their clothes, they didn’t look like ordinary people.

After asking around, Madam Shu-Fang found out that Princess Consort Rong’s twin siblings had caught two female thieves in the backyard and beaten them up.

Now, they were dragged to the backyard by the Prince’s estate’s men.

Madam Shu-Fang’s heart trembled when she heard that.

She almost immediately confirmed that it was her mother-in-law and eldest sister-in-law.

She returned to the private room with a pale face.

As soon as she sat down, the female shopkeeper came over and invited her out.

The female shopkeeper wasn’t pleasant towards Madam Shu-Fang.

There were many people who wanted to curry favor with the influential in their silk shop, but they all knew their limits.

They would not make the nobles angry, nor would they drag the silk shop down.

However, this was the first time she had seen someone as thick-skinned as the Shu family, to be barging into the backyard, causing her to hear something she shouldn’t have heard.

The Shu family was really a bunch of pests.

Therefore, the female shopkeeper didn’t hide her displeasure from Madam Shu-Fang.

After bringing her out, she went straight to the other door in the backyard.

The shopkeeper stopped in her tracks and said, “Fourth Madam Shu, you should get someone to drive your carriage to the courtyard.” Madam Shu-Fang didn’t dare to ask further.

She hurriedly got someone to drive their carriage in.

After they were cleaned up, the gloomy-faced Old Madam Shu and Shu Shuniang were helped out by two maidservants.

Shocked to see their bruised and swollen faces, Madam Shu-Fang quickly jogged forward to support Old Madam Shu.

“Mother.” Old Madam Shu glared at her gloomily and looked at the shopkeeper.

She sneered.

“Is Princess Consort Rong planning to send us away just like this?

What a good plan.

Is this over once we walk out the door?” The shopkeeper said calmly, “Old Madam Shu, if you’re indignant, you can go to Prince’s Residence to reason with Her Highness.

However, my shop is small, so I won’t keep you.

As for how you appeared in the backyard from the private room on the second floor, I won’t pursue it.

Goodbye.” Old Madam Shu’s face instantly turned pale.

With a cold snort, she waved away the maidservant who was supporting her.

With Madam Shu-Fang’s help, she got into the carriage.

Shu Shuniang’s expression was also very gloomy.

Before getting into the carriage, she turned around and looked back.

Shu Wanniang, who used to follow behind her all the time, did not appear.

It had never occurred to Shu Shuniang that Shu Wanniang would climb to a position superior to her.

Shu Shuniang felt that she was prettier, more capable, and more talented than her.

Unexpectedly, Shu Wanniang’s husband and daughter were far better than her in the end.

Shu Shuniang’s heart twisted as she clenched her fists tightly.

A malicious glint flashed across her eyes as she slowly climbed into the carriage and sat beside her mother.

Though the Mu family was powerful, the Shu family was not to be trifled with either.

Although her younger brother’s official position was lowly now, the aristocratic Shu family had produced many officials in the court.

If they were slapped in the face, even if the main family hated them, they would definitely stand up for them in the end.

Who said that it was not a good thing to care about face?

However, Mu Yangling was comforting Shu Wanniang.

“Mother, the Shu family has long declined.

Don’t worry, with Father and Haoran around, they won’t dare to force things.

If it were men from the Shu family instead of Old Madam Shu and Shu Shuniang who stepped forward, I would have beaten them up long ago.” Mu Yangling had already made up her mind to go back and talk to the head of the Shu family and her so-called maternal grandfather so that the Shu family wouldn’t keep pestering them.

It was too annoying.

Shu Wanniang glared at her and said, “Your younger siblings learned it from you…” The twins actually rolled around and fought with someone like shrews.

Even if she didn’t intend to acknowledge the Shu family, Old Madam Shu was still their maternal grandmother.

No matter how angry the twins were, they shouldn’t have hit her.

Mu Yangling felt wronged.

“I’ve been away from home for five years.

How could I teach them?” “Then they must’ve learned it from your father.

The three of you have the same temper as your father.

Why couldn’t you talk about things nicely?

To resort to physical violence in public, even if you have reason on your side, you’ll be considered at fault.” “You’re right.

We do need to teach our younger siblings well.

They’re too insensible.” Even if they wanted to fight, they should have used proper techniques.

How could they simply throw around punches and roll around with the opponent in a fight?

One had to know that this was the easiest way to get injured.

Moreover, in front of everyone, there were many methods that could not be used.

Most importantly, although it was satisfying to hit someone, in the capital, one had to learn how to slap someone in the face without resorting to physical violence.

Mu Yangling felt that her younger siblings had both been spoiled rotten, simply waving their fists whenever they encountered trouble.

Fortunately, they had hit the Shu family this time.

If it had been someone else, she would definitely have brought her mother to apologize to them.

In response, the two children said self-righteously, “It’s precisely because they’re from the Shu family that we hit them.

If they weren’t, we’d definitely apologize.

Even if they scold us, we can just endure it and find an opportunity to scold them back later.” When Shu Wanniang heard that they were targeting the Shu family, her expression turned ugly.

The two children weren’t good at reading the room.

Bosi clenched his fists and said angrily, “We weren’t around when they bullied Mother back then, but now that we’re here, they still dare to bully her.

If we don’t beat them up, won’t we be letting our parents down?” Kejia nodded repeatedly and patted her chest.

“Mother, don’t be afraid.

I’ll get someone to find out if any of the Shu family’s children went out.

As long as they dare to go out, Second Brother and I will beat them up until they don’t dare to come looking for us again.” Shu Wanniang clutched her chest and said, “Ah Ling, lock them up.

How… how did I give birth to these two atrocious brats?”
