Travel to the mountains and make a fortune in silence

When Mu Nan learned that Yun Shang was pregnant and that the child was innocent, he had no choice but to agree. He then notified the Mu family to come to the county town, where they hastily went through the wedding ceremony, which was considered their marriage.

The Mu family still doesn't know the ins and outs of this matter, only that the young couple were deeply in love.

After their marriage, Yunshang was six months pregnant, and the two treated each other with respect, so life was peaceful and uneventful.

After giving birth to Yao'er, Yunshang would often recall the ecstatic experience Mu Nan had given her, and she would look forward to their next intimate encounter.

One night, after Yunshang had bathed and scented herself, she offered him a kiss. Mu Nan did not resist and simply let her kiss him.

Looking at the woman in front of him, Mu Nan thought of that incident and desperately suppressed the nausea surging in his heart. His little brother also remained unresponsive.

He was secretly delighted. He wasn't worried at all about developing a chronic illness, because every morning his little brother was still as energetic as ever.

But there was no reaction at all today, so it seems this young man has absolutely no interest in this woman.

Since then, Yunshang tried several more times, but Mu Nan still didn't react. She was shocked because the drug overdose had caused him to be impotent, and she felt guilty at first.

But after a long period of emptiness and loneliness, she stopped feeling guilty and instead began to rack her brains to find various reasons to argue with Mu Nan. Later, a change occurred in the Mu family, and Mu Nan gave up her studies and returned to the village.

Although Yunshang returned to the Mu family with him, she complained about him even more, arguing every three days and having a big fight every two days, until the two of them finally parted ways.

The old doorman intended to lead Mu Nan into the young master's study, but Mu Nan said on her own that she would wait in the main hall.

Only then was he led to the main hall, where servants served him fragrant tea and sent someone to inform their young master.

Yun Kai, who was reviewing account books in his study, immediately put down the account books and hurried towards the front hall upon hearing that Mu Nan had come to the mansion.

The Yun family mainly deals in silk, and they own several silk shops in the county.

Yun Kai was mediocre in his studies and failed to even pass the county-level imperial examination, so he had no choice but to return home and follow in his father's footsteps.

"Mu Nan, it's been a long time!"

"Yun Kai, it's been a long time!"

The two long-lost friends greeted each other and exchanged brief pleasantries. Mu Nan then took out two hundred taels of silver notes from his pocket, gently placed them on the table in front of Yun Kai, explained his purpose, and expressed his gratitude.

Yun Kai did not refuse at all. Now, because of their sister's matter, their friendship was like a kite with a broken string, and it was difficult to return to what it used to be.

That's enough! He knew that Mu Nan had come to return not only the silver notes, but also to sever all ties with the Yun family.

He vaguely remembered that he had written an IOU at the time, so he ordered his servants to find it and return it to Mu Nan.

Wang Qing'er sat quietly outside the carriage waiting. Yunshang, who had gone out with her maid, happened to return to the mansion and was about to step into the house.

Suddenly, she noticed that the carriage parked at the door was very similar to that of the third uncle of the Mu family, and she couldn't help but take a few more glances at it.

Sitting in the car was a beautiful young woman with skin as white as snow. She didn't look like a typical village wife; instead, she resembled a wealthy young lady from the city.

Perhaps it was just that the carriage was somewhat similar to the one belonging to the Mu family, Yunshang thought to herself, and then lifted her foot to walk inside. But when she looked up, she saw that familiar figure rushing toward the gate.

Yunshang stood frozen in place, as if struck by lightning. "Mu Nan?"

Those who had been rushing along with their heads down looked up when they heard someone calling them. When they saw who it was, they frowned slightly. "How could I have met her here?"

"Mu Nan, it really is you!"

Mu Nan completely ignored her, treating her like a complete stranger. He strode forward, walking faster and faster, heading straight for the carriage parked at the gate.

Just then, Wang Qing'er, who was extremely bored, saw Mu Nan walk out of the gate. Like a light butterfly, she jumped down from the carriage and said coquettishly, "Brother Mu Nan, why did you go in for so long? I'm so bored!"

Seeing his young wife jump from such a height, Mu Nan's heart tightened, fearing she might twist her ankle. He quickened his pace, saying with concern, "Qing'er, be careful!"

Yunshang was like invisible air to him; his eyes were only for his wife.

"Mu Nan, Mu Nan." Yunshang called out and tried to reach out to grab him, but Mu Nan walked too fast and Yunshang only managed to grab a little bit of his clothes. Mu Nan pulled hard, and Yunshang stumbled and almost fell. Fortunately, the maid beside her quickly supported her.

"Let's go, I'll take you to the city for a stroll." Mu Nan carried Wang Qing'er onto the carriage like a gust of wind, and then leaped onto the carriage herself like a swallow.

As soon as Yunshang regained her footing, she saw the person about to leave and hurriedly chased after them like an arrow, blocking the carriage.

"Mu Nan, who is she?" Yun Shang pointed at Wang Qing'er like a hungry wolf and asked sharply.

Mu Nan said coldly, "Get out of the way!"

Yunshang stubbornly pointed at Wang Qing'er, howling like a mad dog, "Who is she?"

Mu Nan remained cold, "What's it to you?"

“I…” Yunshang was speechless for a moment. Yes! Now that they were divorced, what right did she have to ask who that woman was?

But she was unwilling to accept it. Yes, they had a daughter, and their daughter was the bridge that connected them. How could she just break it off like that?

"Mu Nan, you wouldn't have found a stepmother for our Yao'er so soon, would you?" Yunshang questioned, her voice filled with the sorrow of a cuckoo crying blood.

"Our Yao'er?" Mu Nan sneered.

"Is this beautiful woman Mu Nan's ex-wife?" Wang Qing'er's heart tightened, as if she had been struck by a heavy hammer.

"Yun family, we are already divorced. What business is it of yours whether I marry or not? Get out of my way!" Mu Nan suppressed her anger like a volcano about to erupt!

“We are already divorced, but you can’t just find a stepmother for our Yao’er.” After thinking it over, she could only bring up Yao’er as an excuse, like a drowning person grasping at the last straw.

"How dare you talk about Yao'er? Have you cared for her for even a day since she was born? Do you even remember what she looks like now?..." Mu Nan questioned his ex-wife repeatedly, his voice chillingly cold, like the icy cold of December.

Wang Qing'er couldn't help but shudder. "How did this man suddenly become so terrifying? Will he treat me like this in the future?"

"I..." Yunshang was speechless for a moment when Mu Nan bombarded her with questions.

"Yunshang, hurry up and go home!" Just then, Yun Kai stormed out of the door, like an angry lion, and scolded his troublesome younger sister.

"Big brother, Mu Nan, Mu Nan has remarried!" Yunshang's voice was choked with sobs as she accused her ex-husband of his crimes, hoping to gain her brother's protection.

"What does Mu Nan's marriage have to do with you?" Unexpectedly, Yun Kai's angry rebuke exploded in Yun Shang's ears like thunder, making her head buzz.

Yun Kai then instructed Yunshang's two maids, "Hurry up and take the young lady inside."
