Mu Danian and Mrs. Lin hurriedly wiped their faces with their hands. After wiping, both of them almost threw up.

After wiping, Mu Danian began to ingratiate himself with Old Mrs. Mu again.

"Mother, it’s not us who said it; it’s that stinky girl!"

Mu Shuangshuang, standing to the side, rolled her eyes and glared at Mu Danian.

Mu Danian and Mrs. Lin hurriedly wiped their faces with their hands. After wiping, both of them almost threw up.

Mrs. Lin feared this matter might implicate her and started to ingratiate Old Mrs. Mu again.

"Mother, it’s not us who said it; it’s that stinky girl! You can’t blame me for this!"

Mu Shuangshuang, standing to the side, rolled her eyes and said angrily, "I know saying more won’t help; let’s directly find the evidence then!"

"Find what evidence? Do you actually want to search our first branch’s house?" Mrs. Jin asked furiously.

Mu Shuangshuang laughed, looking at Mrs. Jin with a ’congratulations, you guessed right’ expression.

Mrs. Jin got anxious, "How dare you! Our first branch’s house is no place for an outsider like you to wreak havoc!"

"Exactly, stinky girl, don’t really consider yourself important; the Old Mu Family’s affairs aren’t for you to meddle with!"

Old Mrs. Mu redirected her anger and started cursing Mu Shuangshuang.

Neither she nor Mr. Mu believed that Mu Dade was the one who exchanged the bracelet, and they wouldn’t let Mu Shuangshuang search Mu Shuangshuang’s room.

Mu Shuangshuang wouldn’t care about any of that!

She shouted several times in the direction of her house—

"Little Black, Lai Mi..."

Little Black was the family’s mink, and Lai Mi was the family’s Little Black Dog.

In matters of money, apart from finding Little Black, Mu Shuangshuang couldn’t think of a second more capable person or animal!

With Mu Shuangshuang’s command, a black shadow dashed out from the direction of the third branch!

It was a black little dog, with a plump black mink lying on its back.

Little Black Dog ran wildly forward; surprisingly, the black mink didn’t fall off with such jostling; instead, it grew more robust and sturdy.

Lai Mi stopped in front of Mu Shuangshuang, panting hard with its tongue, nearly wagging its tail off!

Little Black’s shiny black eyes swirled around in their sockets, seemingly assessing what this large group of people was up to!

Mu Shuangshuang squatted down, whispered a few words in Little Black’s ear, then pointed to the fake bracelet discarded on the ground by the crowd and subsequently pointed in the direction of Mu Dade’s room.

Little Black rushed out like an arrow off the string, quickly disappearing from the crowd’s sight.

After a while, screams from Mu Dandan and Mu Yingying came from the first branch.

"Oh my, those are Dandan and Yingying’s screams, something’s happened at home?" Mrs. Jin exclaimed!

"Let’s go and see..." Mu Dade said.

Mu Dade and Mrs. Jin wasted no time rushing straight to their room.

If they were going, others naturally wanted to follow.

In the courtyard, Mu Dandan and Mu Yingying screamed because they were trapped by Little Black.

Little Black occasionally clawed at their hair, and occasionally slapped their faces with a "smack."

Though painless, it was exceptionally irritating.

On top of that, Mu Dandan and Mu Yingying had never seen Little Black, so they were naturally frightened by its actions.

Everyone gathered outside Mu Dade’s courtyard, watching the scene which was almost a farce.

Yet no one could laugh.

Mu Dade’s face darkened; he knew this was all Mu Shuangshuang’s mischief.

She wanted everyone at the first branch’s courtyard! 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Just as he was about to reprimand Mu Shuangshuang, she spoke: "Little Black, go into the house and find the bracelet!"

Upon hearing the command, Little Black rushed into Mu Dade’s room.

It was too late for Mu Dade to stop it.

Mrs. Jin, regardless of everything, wanted to go in but was grabbed by Mu Shuangshuang.

As she grabbed her, she called to Mrs. Lin: "Second Aunt, what are you still standing there for? If Little Black can’t find evidence to prove your and Fifth Uncle’s innocence, neither of you should think of going to the county!"

Mrs. Lin, upon hearing Mu Shuangshuang’s words, pulled Mrs. Jin’s clothes sleeve!

Mu Danian also grabbed Mu Dade.

After a while, Little Black came out again, carrying a cloth bag in its mouth.

Mu Dade relaxed upon seeing that it wasn’t the box containing the golden bracelet.

But then, Little Black’s actions almost made him spit blood in anger.

Little Black reached Mu Shuangshuang, placed the bag by her feet, and opened the money bag with its paw.

It was a silver ingot, approximately ten taels.

"Well, well, big brother, you said you had no money; what is this? Is this ten taels of silver? Isn’t ten taels enough for us to rent a house for the whole family in the county?"

Mu Danian pointed to the silver ingot on the ground, questioning Mu Dade.

Mu Dade’s face darkened, but he saw Little Black go into the house again and soon bring out another cloth bag.

Again, as before, it placed the item by Mu Shuangshuang’s feet and opened the bag.

More silver—

"Big brother, you..."

Mu Danian saw the truth; his big brother indeed had a wolfish and heartless nature.

Mr. Mu was no longer as certain that Mu Dade would take them and their family to enjoy life.

"Stinky girl, what witchcraft are you using? What exactly is that beast?" Mu Dade shouted at Mu Shuangshuang.

Mu Shuangshuang laughed, squatted down, and picked up a silver ingot: "Witchcraft? Does Uncle mean I conjured this silver? Then I won’t hesitate to take it!"

"You dare..." Mu Dade gritted out these words through his teeth.

"I naturally dare, as long as Uncle says this was conjured through my witchcraft!" Mu Shuangshuang said with a smile.

"You..."

As the two argued, Little Black came out again, this time biting down on a box.

The box seemed quite heavy; even for it, the weight slowed its movements significantly.

Mrs. Jin panicked; wasn’t that box the one holding her bracelet?

She shouted at Mu Dandan and Mu Yingying, "Dandan, Yingying, grab that beast, don’t let it touch my jewelry box!"

Mu Dandan and Mu Yingying snapped out of their daze, taking positions on the left and right, and ran toward Little Black.

The encirclement tightened, and the distance between them and Little Black grew smaller.

Just as they were about to catch Little Black, Mu Shuangshuang shouted, "Little Black, jump!"

Little Black leapt onto Mu Dandan’s back; she slipped forward, pressing down heavily on the jewelry box.

Mrs. Jin’s jewelry box had been used for many years, and its quality was long past its prime.

Under Mu Dandan’s heavy press, the box lid broke, conveniently allowing the golden bracelet on top to roll out, appearing in front of everyone...

"That is..." Mu Danian was stunned!

Mrs. Lin followed up Mu Danian’s words by shouting, "Golden bracelet, golden bracelet..."

Mrs. Jin’s face turned pale, Mu Dade’s face also turned white.

They looked at each other, momentarily forgetting to explain!

Mu Danian shoved Mu Dade to the ground: "You damned ingrate, to think I, Mu Danian, for all these years looked to you for a better life, you shameless—!"
