Travel to the mountains and make a fortune in silence

Mu Nan quickly kissed her on the lips, something he had wanted to do ever since he saw her at home that morning.

"..." Wang Qing'er's face turned red, and she turned her head away, feeling a little embarrassed to look at him, but she was very happy inside.

Two hours later, they arrived at the city gate of the county town, paid ten coins, and the two drove the carriage into the town.

Mu Nan drove the carriage slowly along the streets of the county town, streets he knew all too well. He had lived in the county town for several years before, when he had servants by his side.

Although some things happened that he never wanted to remember, fortunately, the person beside him now is the one he loves and is willing to cherish for the rest of his life. He came to the county town this time to put an end to everything that happened before.

Mu Nan parked the carriage in front of a restaurant and took Wang Qing'er inside for a meal.

Then he went to buy some pastries and fruits that the old lady of the Yun family liked, and then drove to the Yun family.

Upon arriving at the gate of the Yun family's residence, Mu Nan stopped the carriage. "Qing'er, wait here for a moment. I'll come out after I've paid back the money."

"Okay," Wang Qing'er replied softly, as obedient as a docile lamb.

Mu Nan stepped down from the carriage carrying her belongings, stood for a moment in front of the Yun family's gate, took a deep breath, and then knocked on the heavy door.

Before long, the gatekeeper of the Yun family opened the door and peeked out.

The old doorman had served the Yun family for decades, so he naturally recognized Mu Nan. "Auntie..."

Upon seeing Mu Nan, the gatekeeper almost blurted out "son-in-law," but then suddenly remembered that his young mistress had already divorced him, and that such an address would be inappropriate. So he quickly changed his address, "Young Master Mu, what brings you here?"

"Uncle Wang, it's been a long time. I've come to see Yun Kai about something important." Mu Nan greeted the gatekeeper politely and explained his purpose.

"Young Master Mu, please come in first. Young Master Yun Kai happens to be at your residence." The gatekeeper gently opened the vermilion door, his face beaming with smiles, and politely welcomed Mu Nan inside.

The servants of the Yun family all knew that Mu Nan and their young master were classmates and close friends. When Mu Nan was studying at the county academy, he was often invited by the young master to visit the mansion.

Whether openly or secretly, everyone knows that their young lady went so far as to drug Mu Nan in order to win her heart.

When Yun Shang, the eldest daughter of the Yun family, first met Mu Nan, she fell in love with him at first sight, as if struck by Cupid's arrow. Mu Nan, however, made it clear to his best friend that he had no interest in Yun Shang, and afterwards rarely set foot in the Yun family.

However, Yunshang seemed to be bewitched. She bribed the servants beside her brother and lured Mu Nan to the mansion, where she put aphrodisiac in the tea in her brother's study.

Every time Mu Nan came to the Yun residence, he would go straight to Yun Kai's study. When the servants served him tea, he would drink it down without hesitation because he was thirsty from his journey.

Soon, the aphrodisiac took effect, and Yunshang gracefully entered the study, helping Mu Nan to her boudoir.

Fearing the aphrodisiac wouldn't be potent enough, Yunshang simply doubled the dosage. Mu Nan, unable to control himself, lost his reason and made love with Yunshang.

Because of the excessive dosage of the medicine, the two lingered in the room from the afternoon until night, until Mu Nan fainted. Yun Shang still thought he was just exhausted and had fallen asleep.

Only then did she send a maid to tell her mother that Mu Nan had suddenly rushed into her young lady's room and made inappropriate advances towards her.

The old lady of the Yun family hurriedly limped to her daughter's room, leaning on her cane.

Mu Nan was seen lying on the bed with her daughter in her arms, her clothes disheveled, and the bed was a mess.

Looking at the scene before her, how could the old lady not know what had happened?

The old lady had fallen from a speeding carriage and broken her leg; now she needs a cane to walk.

Enraged, she grabbed her cane and began striking the two people on the bed like a whirlwind.

Yunshang, who had been feigning sleep, only woke up slowly after pretending to be beaten. Terrified, she scrambled out of bed and called out tearfully, "Mother..."

When Madam Yun saw that her daughter had woken up but Mu Nan was still lying motionless, she raised her cane and struck Mu Nan hard, but he still did not react.

Yunshang was shocked to realize that Mu Nan's face was as pale as paper. A sense of fear welled up in her heart, and she hurriedly shook the man on the bed, calling out repeatedly, "Mu Nan, Mu Nan, wake up."

At this moment, Madam Yun also noticed something was wrong and hurriedly went forward to check Mu Nan's breathing. Seeing that he was still breathing, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Madam Yun had long known that her daughter was deeply in love with Mu Nan, and judging from the current situation, she could roughly guess that her daughter had orchestrated this scene to catch her in the act of adultery.

She never expected her daughter to do such a shameless thing. Looking at her daughter wearing only a bodice and underpants, she suppressed her anger and ordered the maids, "Hurry up and help the young lady get dressed."

Yunshang's personal maid then stepped forward and helped Yunshang tidy up her clothes.

Madam Yun had already sent her maid to fetch a doctor, and ordered someone to take Yunshang to her room, while two trusted confidants carried Mu Nan to her son's room.

The doctor came to examine Mu Nan, and the diagnosis was exactly the same as what Madam Yun had guessed.

Yun Kai was brought back to the manor by someone sent by Old Master Yun. After returning to the manor, Old Madam Yun told her son the whole story.

Upon hearing this, Yun Kai was certain that his sister had plotted against Mu Nan.

He inquired with the people in the mansion and learned that Mu Nan had arrived at the mansion in the afternoon and went straight to his study.

Afterwards, Yun Kai summoned Yun Shang's personal maid, and after a few strokes of the cane, the maid confessed everything.

After Mu Nan was revived by the doctor, she remembered everything she had done perfectly. In one afternoon, she was unable to control herself and did that kind of thing to a woman she didn't like.

He knew that it was a trap set by Yunshang. He was filled with resentment and felt nauseous. Ignoring his weak body, he resolutely left the Yun residence and went to the house he rented in the county. He locked himself in the house for several days and did not go out.

Madam Yun did not force Mu Nan to marry her daughter, and Yun Kai felt guilty towards his friend because of his sister's actions.

Everyone thought the matter was over and done with. Since that incident, Yunshang had been living a secluded life, and the Yun family all thought she had let go of Mu Nan.

Madam Yun even began to look for a good husband for her, but she never expected that her daughter was already pregnant and had kept it a secret from them until three months later when the pregnancy was stable and Yunshang finally confessed to her mother.

This news struck like a bolt from the blue, catching Old Madam Yun completely off guard. She fell ill for more than half a month without any improvement. Helpless, she had no choice but to drag her ailing body and shamelessly beg Mu Nan to marry her daughter.
