Mu Shuangshuang couldn’t bring herself to say such pretentious words as telling Lu Yuanfeng not to worry about her.

Moreover, she knew that even if she told Lu Yuanfeng not to worry, he wouldn’t listen!

"Fengzi, I’m willing to wait for you! If I lose patience, I’ll personally come find you! So we won’t be apart for long!"

If it weren’t for Mu Dade coming back soon, she needed to guard against Mu Dade causing trouble.

Mu Shuangshuang even considered going to the military camp with Lu Yuanfeng.

She had some yearning for the training life!

However, going to the battlefield and fighting the enemy might be a psychological hurdle for her! 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

But she would strive to overcome it and adapt to this world!

Lu Yuanfeng smiled, pulling the person in his arms tighter!

Lu Yuanfeng felt that no one would hear such a special answer like him—

"I am willing to wait for you, if I lose patience, I’ll personally... come find you!"

The sky gradually darkened, and looking at the hour, it was time to head out to Gao Village.

Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng led the horse to Mu Dalang’s house, tied it to the carriage, and drove out of Tie Dao Village.

Thought it was just them on this trip, who would have known Xing Beichen was already waiting at the entrance of Tie Dao Village.

Mu Shuangshuang was helpless and could only take the lightbulb, Xing Beichen, along.

Since they were traveling at night, the carriage wasn’t fast.

By the time they got to Gao Village, it was already midnight, with the night black and the wind high.

The three tied up the horse, hid the carriage, and sneaked into Gao Village.

After walking a distance, Xing Beichen suddenly stopped and blocked Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng’s path.

"Hey, Shuangshuang, what if... what if Gao Tiezhu and his people are all awake, what do we do?"

"No way, the pigs and chickens bothered them all night last night, they probably didn’t rest, and waited for you all day.

After all that, tonight should be when they are the most tired, at this hour, they’re sure to sleep like dead pigs!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

Xing Beichen thought it made sense and cleared the way.

After a while, he asked again: "What if Gao Tiezhu’s people are asleep, but the fire burns someone?"

Although Gao Tiezhu is evil, no one wants blood on their hands.

Besides, there are innocent Gao Family members inside!

"Brother Beichen, that won’t happen, the room you mentioned is separate, it won’t burn other rooms!

Also, we’re not just setting a fire and leaving, we’ll make sure it won’t endanger people, and if it does, we have a second plan!"

This time, it was Lu Yuanfeng explaining.

Xing Beichen completely dismissed his doubts.

The three easily climbed over the wall of Gao Tiezhu’s yard and sneaked into the backyard.

It was quiet in the yard, with snores everywhere, everyone seemed to be sleeping soundly.

Xing Beichen stayed outside as a lookout, while Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng snuck into the room Xing Beichen mentioned.

Once the flint was ignited, Mu Shuangshuang began searching.

She had experience sneaking into people’s houses to search, so Mu Shuangshuang was quite skilled.

In addition to being crude, Gao Tiezhu had left some books in the room.

Soon, Mu Shuangshuang found the Old Mu Family’s IOUs among the thick books.

Mu Shuangshuang pulled out one, tucked it into her clothes, and piled the rest with other people’s loan notes.

She picked up a loan note and her expression instantly darkened.

Her movements became stagnant.

"What’s wrong?" Lu Yuanfeng asked in a low voice.

"This IOU is for five hundred coins, but Fengzi, do you know... what happens if the principal and interest of three silver taels aren’t paid within three months?" Mu Shuangshuang took a deep breath.

Lu Yuanfeng: "What happens?"

Mu Shuangshuang: "The family’s twelve-year-old daughter gets sold to a brothel to pay the debt!"

Lu Yuanfeng was shocked!

He had heard many stories about Gao Tiezhu ruining families, but hearing and seeing firsthand were incomparable.

Mu Shuangshuang looked at more IOUs.

Not to mention the high interest, the consequences of not paying on time were dire!

"Fengzi, let’s see if there’s a secret compartment or something, maybe Gao Tiezhu’s money is hidden here!"

Mu Shuangshuang previously had no intention of taking Gao Tiezhu’s wealth, just a lesson.

But seeing Gao Tiezhu’s actions, she changed her mind.

Gao Tiezhu caused many families’ ruin, he doesn’t deserve to enjoy this wealth!

Lu Yuanfeng listened to Mu Shuangshuang, decisively lit Gao Tiezhu’s house lamp, and they began a thorough search.

After finally moving the cabinet in the corner, they discovered a small hole.

A box was inside, which Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng didn’t hesitate to pull out.

Inside were five silver notes, each worth a hundred taels.

Adding it up, it was five hundred taels—

Five hundred taels exchanged for second-class fertile land, would be a hundred mu, could feed many people?

"Shuangshuang, take the silver notes!" Lu Yuanfeng handed the silver notes to Mu Shuangshuang.

But Mu Shuangshuang stopped him: "Fengzi, I want to use some of these silver notes for charity, and the rest, you and Xing Beichen take to the Northwest, where the soldiers could use them more!"

Again, any of the silver taels inside, Mu Shuangshuang doesn’t want a single cent!

Lu Yuanfeng knew Mu Shuangshuang wasn’t joking.

Considering Shuangshuang wasn’t short on money at the moment, he nodded in agreement.

Five hundred taels, all were given to Lu Yuanfeng.

The two continued searching, piling up useful things, and lighting fires...

All the IOUs in the room were burned, Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng started setting fires all around the room.

This room couldn’t remain—

As the fire started raging, someone came out for a bathroom break, saw the firelight coming from Gao Tiezhu’s house.

He started shouting loudly, waking the people in Gao Tiezhu’s house.

Ms. Zhu, suddenly awake, yelled: "It’s over, it’s over... Cuihua is also of dragon age, back then we altered her age by two years to help her marry well..."

Ms. Zhu’s words reached Gao Tiezhu’s ears, who had just woken up.

Gao Tiezhu’s face instantly turned pale.

Just then, voices outside yelled about a fire.

Gao Tiezhu remembered what Xing Beichen’s fire dragon meant.

"It’s over... it’s over!"

Gao Tiezhu’s grief-stricken cries echoed far, heard by Mu Shuangshuang, Lu Yuanfeng, and Xing Beichen hiding in the shadows.

After a while, Gao Tiezhu, with his injured and worn-out body, came out of the house.

Seeing the burning house, a mouthful of blood clogged in his heart, he fell directly to the ground...

Ms. Zhu saw her husband like that, shouting at the top of her lungs.

"Master... Master..."

Gao Tiezhu felt a chill all over, struggled to breathe, he thought he was about to die!

Even so, Gao Tiezhu didn’t forget to point at the burning house and yell: "Put out the fire... put out the fire... money... money!"
