Destroy the scumbag husband, beat the bitch, the reborn legitimate daughter overturns the entire cap

Li was taken aback. "Why is my aunt back alone at this hour, right before the New Year? Do you know what happened?"

Mu Xin Nuan, who was standing to the side, was also somewhat surprised. This aunt's given name was Mu Chang Chun, and she had married into Yunzhou, which was close to the capital, only about fifty or sixty miles away. Her uncle was a clerk in Yunzhou City. Although his rank was not high, he was still from a scholarly family, so it was considered a good match.

"Reporting to Madam, the young lady does not look well. She was accompanied by her two children, and their clothes do not look very nice to me."

Upon hearing this, Madam Li understood. It turned out that her sister-in-law had been wronged in her husband's family. How could the matriarch, no matter what, be returning to her parents' home in such a shabby state?

Mu Xin Nuan tugged at Li Shi's sleeve, "Mother, let's go take a look."

When Mu Xin Nuan arrived at the front hall, she was startled!

Sitting in the hall was a woman dressed in a dark purple floral dress. Could she really be my aunt? This aunt was the youngest, probably several years younger than my mother, but now she looked ten years older than my mother!

His face was full of sorrow, his complexion was sallow, and his eyes were somewhat dull. His rough hands were still rubbing the handkerchief in his hands. He looked quite dejected.

Li had just brought Mu Xin Nuan over, and before she could even ask a few questions, the old lady arrived, trembling. Upon seeing her daughter in such a state, she immediately burst into tears!

"My son! What's wrong? Why do you look like this?"

As she spoke, the old lady stepped forward and hugged her daughter tightly. The two of them wept bitterly! Mu Changchun's two children beside him also started wailing at the top of their lungs.

When the old master and Mu Chang'an arrived, they saw the group of girls crying together, and Li Shi and Mu Xin Nuan also looked grief-stricken with red eyes.

After finally calming down, Madam Li instructed the servants to take Miss Mu and Young Master Mu downstairs to change clothes and rest for a while. Only then did Mu Changchun begin to pour out his grievances to his family.

It turns out that Mu Changchun's husband, Liu Haiye, had a sweetheart long before marrying Mu Changchun. It was his own personal maid. Not long after marrying Mu Changchun, he made that maid his concubine.

Not only that, but after Mu Changchun had children in the past few years, and that concubine also had a daughter, she openly took over the management of the household. Her mother-in-law not only did not speak up for her, but also protected that concubine in every way. Now, this dignified mistress of the household is living in poverty and destitution, and she can't even see a bit of meat in her three meals a day.

After hearing Mu Changchun's words, the old lady was the first to react, "Changchun, what happened to the dowry I gave you when you got married? Although it wasn't particularly lavish in the capital, it was still quite a lot. How could this be?"

Mu Changchun gave an awkward twitch of her lips, and after a while, she whispered, "My husband said he was short of money for bribes, so..."

Is there anything more to say? It's already so clear. If the old lady still doesn't understand, she's truly lived in vain!

"Well, well! He's just a lowly clerk, yet he dares to do such a thing as favoring his concubine over his wife. It's outrageous! He even dares to embezzle his own wife's dowry. What use is such a wicked son-in-law?"

The old lady coughed heavily a few times after she finished speaking.

Mu Xin Nuan finally understood. The old lady was such a shrewd person, but the daughter she gave birth to was so naive! She actually used her dowry to support her husband's family! Now, not only is the household management in her husband's family in her hands, but she has also lost all her money!

That's really something, an unusually dense person!

However, Mu Xin Nuan couldn't help but think of her past life. Wasn't she even more foolish than this little aunt?

Mu Xin Nuan glanced at the old lady. She hadn't noticed how the old lady had mistreated her daughter-in-law before, but now, her own daughter was being mistreated by the old lady's mother! Was this some kind of retribution?

Mu Xin Nuan actually felt some sympathy for this aunt, after all, they were blood relatives, and this was her own aunt!

"Auntie, don't cry. It's New Year's Eve. Now that you're back, take a good rest and relax." After saying that, Mu Xin Nuan smiled and looked at the old man. "Grandfather, since my cousins ​​have come, why don't we let them rest for a couple of days? They can skip school and spend some time with them."

Seeing how sensible his granddaughter was, the old man naturally smiled and agreed.

Mu Xin Nuan thanked them and then took Mu Qing Xuan and Mu Qing Yuan out, saying that they would go see their younger cousins ​​first, so that everyone could get to know each other and chat.

Mu Xin Nuan knew that although this aunt was a bit old-fashioned, she was the only aunt in the household and the youngest, so she was doted on by her grandparents! Even her own father had always spoiled her. Now that she had returned to the household in this state, it wouldn't be long before the Liu family sent someone to visit.

Mu Xin Nuan sighed inwardly. It truly was as the old saying goes: a man fears choosing the wrong profession, a woman fears marrying the wrong man! Like that Liu Haiye—just hearing his name told her he wasn't a good person! In her past life, she hadn't had much contact with them and had no idea such a thing existed. It seemed that Song Shi had handled all of this in her past life; it wasn't her place to inquire about it.

"Rongyue, send all these little trinkets to your cousin Tingting. I think she'll like them."

Mu Xin Nuan pointed to several pieces of jewelry she had picked out on the table. They were all bracelets and necklaces that girls liked, not particularly expensive, and all made of silver. However, Mu Xin Nuan believed that even such things would be considered excellent in Liu Tingting's eyes!

"Yes, ma'am."

Rongyue went out after receiving the order, and Granny Yu carefully handed a hand warmer to Mu Xinnuan. "Miss is kind-hearted, but that cousin looks rather pitiful. She is the same age as the Second Miss and comes from a wealthy family, but her clothes and her mannerisms don't seem like those of a young lady."

Mu Xin Nuan nodded. Liu Tingting was nine years old this year, just like Mu Xin Yao. But compared to Mu Xin Yao, she was almost as naive as Mu Xin Yao!

Having experienced what happened in her previous life, Mu Xin Nuan's judgment of people has become more accurate, and at the same time, she has become more careful and meticulous.

Although Liu Tingting looked at her with amazement, there was absolutely no jealousy in her eyes. It was precisely because of this that Mu Xinnuan thought she should make an ally for herself instead of creating another enemy!
