C7 Gain an Inch Forward

Lady Chen patted her chest. "If it wasn't for the engagement between your family's Yan Wu and Ji Ge, my daughter would have already married him. "Fortunately, Yan Wu and Ji Ge are engaged. This Ji Ge is going to the capital to take the exam, so his reputation falls behind. So, the only one who marries Ji Ge is Yan Wu!"

Lady Chen's words confused Mu Yun. Didn't Lady Yuan say that Ji Ge had already become the top scholar? How did he fall off the list?

Looking at Mu Yun's conflicted expression, Lin Jinyan leaned close to her ear and whispered, "I've changed my name."

"Pfft!"

Lin Jinyan's three words made the tea in Mu Yun's mouth spray all over her body, "Duplicate name?" Didn't Yan Wu's wish to become the top scholar's wife come to nothing?

Lin Jinyan calmly patted Mu Yun's back. He only found out about this matter yesterday, but it wasn't easy for someone from the eighth village to win the top scorer. Everyone was very concerned about this matter, and the news about the top scorer and Ji Ge's new name spread like wildfire.

"You little mouth, I'll beat you to death!"

When the Lady Yuan heard Lady Chen's words of ridicule, she was so angry that her chest heaved as she raised her hand to slap Lady Chen's face.

"I thought you guys were too busy with that girl and Lin boy's marriage and forgot about it. Yesterday, I went into the city and specifically asked mister fortune-telling to choose a good day for Yan Wu and Ji Ge. This 16th month is a good day, you guys hurry up and marry Yan Wu!"

With that, Lady Chen turned around and ran away.

"I'll tear your mouth apart!"

Madam Yuan was so angry that she chased after them from behind. When she got out of the door, she was in too much of a hurry and tripped on her foot, causing her to fall flat on her face.

When Lady Chen saw this, she hastily clapped and praised, "Yuan Clan, this is retribution, hahaha!"

Previously, when Madam Chen thought of how she was beaten up by the Cheng family, she was so angry that she could not eat. Now, seeing her family wanting to fail, she felt extremely upset!

With the Chen family making a ruckus, no one was in the mood to eat. Yan Wu sat to the side with his head lowered and tears streaming down his face. Cheng Jin sighed as he turned around and walked out the door.

Mu Yun looked at the meat on the table and felt too embarrassed to move the chopsticks. Lin Jinyan casually picked up a large piece for Mu Yun and then put down the chopsticks.

Mu Yun looked at him gratefully and started to eat.

Not long after, the Yuan family came back dejectedly. Seeing that everyone was no longer eating, they silently cleaned up the dishes. Mu Yun also helped them to clean up.

In the kitchen, Mu Yun was about to wash the dishes when Mrs. Yuan pulled her to a chair to the side.

Mu Yun looked at the Yuan lady's face and felt frightened. From the looks of her, there was probably nothing good to do.

"Little girl Mu Yun, you saw it just now …"

"Well, so what?"

Mu Yun had a carefree expression.

Lady Yuan swallowed her saliva and said, "Ji Ge, that little rascal's reputation is ruined. Because, as his name goes, many people are poking his spine and laughing at him. The marriage between Yan Wu and him is over."

Mu Yun was a little confused. "So what? There's a saying, 'Ten Years Cold Window'. Ji Ge is so old now. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future, so why won't Big Sister Yan Wu marry him?"

Mrs. Yuan sighed, "It's not a big deal, but everyone knows that Ji Ge has the same name as the top scholar in the imperial court, and many people are laughing at him. That Ji Ge has been out of the door ever since he came back, so it's good if he doesn't go crazy.

Lady Yuan's words were clear and straightforward. Mu Yun actually didn't have any reason to refute.

"So, what do you mean?"

Mu Yun spoke straightforwardly.

Lady Yuan smiled, "About that, you know it too. When you came to my house, I invited a doctor to help you catch the medicine, and I didn't even leave a single cent of the money for the marriage gift. Now that Yan Wu is going to cancel the marriage, the money will be returned.

She was only halfway through her sentence when Mu Yun admitted that she had made it clear.

Mu Yun knew this, but ever since she opened her eyes at the Cheng family, she didn't even see the shadow of a doctor. Even the medicine she drank didn't stop.

At this moment, Mu Yun's expression was a bit ugly. This family really wanted an inch more!

"Aunt, as you know, when I married into the Lin Clan, I didn't have any dowry. Furthermore, the Lin Clan didn't have any money, so if the Lin Clan was wealthy, I wouldn't have married into your family, right?"

"If you don't have money, I'll sell your indenture contract. In the future, you can go to the city and be a slave or a maid!"

"…"

Just as Mu Yun was about to speak, the sound of footsteps came from outside the door. When she turned around, it was Lin Jinyan.

"Why are you here?"

Mu Yun asked.

Lin Jinyan's expression was calm as she said, "Get a jug of water."

Wasn't Yan Wu too enthusiastic? Lin Jinyan was a little overwhelmed.

"Oh, alright. Quickly go and rest. I'll send the tea over to you later!"

Lady Yuan took the kettle from Lin Jinyan and said to him with a smile.

Mu Yun didn't want to stay in the kitchen and followed behind Lin Jinyan. Lady Yuan still wanted to call her when she saw her, but it wasn't good for Lin Jinyan to be too pretentious.

Lin Jinyan suddenly stopped and Mu Yun, who was behind her, didn't notice as she bumped into his back.

When Lin Jinyan turned around, she saw Muyun squatting on the ground with her nose covered and eyes red.

"What's wrong? Let me see."

Seeing Mu Yun like this, Lin Jinyan also squatted on the ground and used her large hands to take away Mu Yun's hands to examine her nose.

The two of them were so close that Mu Yun could almost feel Lin Jinyan's breath. That sharp and handsome face made her unable to open her eyes.

"It's just red. It's fine. Just apply some ointment when you get back."

Lin Jinyan stared into Mu Yun's bright eyes. Looking at her clean face and her pink cherry lips, in that instant, she had the urge to taste them.

"Mu Yun, I have something to talk to you about."

When Yan Wu saw the two of them being so close, his face darkened.

"Alright."

Mu Yun came back to her senses, stood up and followed Yan Wu into the room.

Yan Wu held Mu Yun's hand and sat on the bed.

"What's the matter, Sister Smokey?"

Mu Yun knew in her heart that there was definitely no good thing. Could Yan Wu and Yuan Shi be talking about the same thing?

"Mu Yun, look. You're marrying a good family now, and I'm now in my current condition. Can you …"

Mu Yun sneered in her heart. As expected, it was the mother and daughter pair. She left half of her sentence hanging in the air.

Silence. Mu Yun looked at Yan Wu and did not say anything. She was not interested in the other half of Yan Wu's words either.

"Can you talk to Lin Jin for a bit …" Put me in my room too? "

F * ck me!
