Chapter 6 Ginseng Seeds Stolen
When she was about to return to the wall where she was nesting and continue sleeping, Mrs. Mutai, who was lying down, suddenly grabbed her wrist.

Mrs. Mutai took off her black hairband in a few moments, then took out a few ginseng roots hidden in the hairband and placed them in Ruan He's palm.

This ginseng seed has a fragrant medicinal fragrance and must be a hundred years old.

"There is no one outside now, and Xiao'er's fever has gone away. You can cook it and give it to Xiao'er." Mrs. Mu held Ruan He's hand tightly, her eyes full of love.

It can also be seen that tonight when she scraped Mu Yunxiao's pus, Mrs. Mu trusted her a little more.

"Madam, if you don't need it, I'd better keep such a good thing for now, and take it out when needed in the future." Ruan He returned the ginseng seeds.

Mrs. Mutai nodded and tucked it into her sleeves.

Early the next morning.

I heard a certain aunt shouting: "Get up quickly, there is porridge downstairs, one bowl for each person, and a steamed bun for each person."

Everyone in Datong Shop was rustling up. Those who didn't eat the black-faced steamed buns last night were already hungry, and a group of people walked downstairs one after another.

Ruan He queued up to receive a bowl of porridge, and took a steamed bun that was only half a palm in size, but it was made of white flour and would not choke his throat.

She took it and went to the lower room. The porridge was thin and suitable for Mu Yunxiao to eat.

As soon as I reached the door, I heard the noise coming from inside.

"Mother, you actually hid this good thing. You should take it out to the officials. At least we didn't have to sleep on the ground last night. My bones hurt today." It was Mu Zhengbai's angry voice.

Mrs. Zhang also gloated and said, "Mother treats us as outsiders, which just gives the thief an advantage."

Mrs. Mu lowered her head, her energy and energy diminished a bit.

Could it be that the ginseng seeds were lost?

Ruan He went in with breakfast.

Mu Qinghong, who was eating white steamed buns at the side, pointed at Ruan He and said, "This despicable person must have stolen it. I vaguely heard my grandmother talking to her last night. None of us knew about my grandmother hiding ginseng seeds. Only she knows that if she didn’t steal it, who else would steal it!”

Ruan He's face sank, "I think you're full after a bowl of porridge. There are so many people in this room, who knows whether you are really sleeping or pretending to be sleeping. If there is any suspicion, no one can escape!"

"You..." Seeing her scolding him, Mu Qinghong was so angry that his cheeks bulged, but he couldn't think of a rebuttal for a while.

I saw Mu Qingshuang moving over to the side. She followed Mrs. Zhang. She looked a little indifferent, but her movements were like that of a lady.

"But after all, Qinghong heard it with her own ears. My sister-in-law is the most suspicious at the moment. Why don't you show us your baggage? I'm sure my sister-in-law won't refuse in order to clear her suspicions."

Ruan He saw that she kept calling her sister-in-law, but the words she said were disgusting.

She placed the porridge bowl heavily on the only small table in the room, looked at her apricot eyes, and said in a higher tone: "I also said that you secretly ate the ginseng seeds of the madam, and I also said that I saw it with my own eyes. Yes, why do you want to cut open your stomach to prove your innocence?"

Mu Qingshuang trembled all over, she didn't expect her to be so powerful.

Mrs. Zhang naturally protected her two daughters, and her disdainful eyes fell on Ruan He, "You have such a sharp mouth, and I won't even let you search your rags. There must be something wrong in your heart."

"That's right, you all stop her and I'll search her."

Mu Zhengbai rolled up his sleeves. If he gave these ginseng seeds to the officials, he would be able to exchange them for a table of good food. He was drooling just thinking about it.

"Bai'er, no." Mrs. Mutai stopped hurriedly.

Ruan He's anger almost filled Tianling Gai.

If you say no, then you don't have it, and they will forcefully search your baggage.

"Sister, let's hold on to her together to prevent her from running away." Mu Qinghong came over and clamped Ruan He's arm, while pinching Ruan He's arm hard. "I, say, you, that's enough!"

Ruan He said this through gritted teeth.

It was followed by a dull thud.

Mu Qinghong let go as soon as she felt the pain, and her tears started to flow out, "You hit me, you bitch, how dare you hit me, I asked my eldest brother to divorce you."

"How dare you, a bitch, hit Hong'er." Mu Zhengbai and Zhang also put down the baggage they were about to search and immediately rushed to Ruan He's side.

The couple's eyes were green, like hungry wolves trying to tear Ruan He apart and devour them.

Mu Zhengbai had already raised his arms high.

Ruan He was also watching. When his arm fell, she grabbed his arm and was about to give him a hard throw over her shoulder.

All this was stopped by a weak but angry voice.

"stop--"

Mu Yunxiao woke up. He tried his best to hold himself up, his pale lips still trembling slightly.

When Mu Zhengbai saw that he was awake, he retracted his hand and ran to Mu Yunxiao's side, "Xiao'er, are you okay? When will you write a letter to the fifth prince to wash away your grievances as soon as possible... …”

"Dad, please don't embarrass her. She is my wife, not a servant. Why should I search her baggage just because Hong'er said something? This is also embarrassing for my son."

Mu Yunxiao interrupted Mu Zhengbai's words and locked his black eyes deeply.

Mu Zhengbai turned his head away with a guilty conscience. He just felt that this lowly farmer's daughter-in-law had become sharp-tongued recently. She must have started jumping up and down after seeing the misfortune of their Mu family. Naturally, he wanted to find an opportunity to show her off. Look.

Ruan He's originally tense body relaxed slightly.

She didn't expect that he would be the one to stand up for her.

Mu Zhengbai saw his son staring at him closely, and thought of the rumors about this son in the capital, a young general who harvested heads on the battlefield like he was chopping vegetables.

He moved his hips and said kindly, "This ginseng seed is a life-saving thing for you. This girl is disrespectful, and her father is also in a hurry."

"You must never..."

"Absolutely not."

Mu Qinghong refused, pointing to her red and swollen face, crying with tears in her eyes, "Brother, she hit me, and you divorced her. This peasant girl is not worthy of you."

"Shut up! You disrespect your eldest sister-in-law, you deserve a beating, cough!" Mu Yunxiao's eyes became sharper.

Mu Zhengbai shrank his neck, pulled his youngest daughter's sleeve to signal her to shut up, turned around and said angrily to Ruan He: "Why are you standing there like that? Why don't you feed Xiao'er some porridge!"

The matter of searching the baggage was taken care of in one go.

Ruan He frowned. The person who could steal the ginseng seeds must be a member of the family who could get close to the old lady. If everyone in the family stole it, they were afraid that someone would have different intentions.

Ruan He calmly took the porridge bowl and prepared to feed Mu Yunxiao porridge.

At this time, another pair of hands grabbed the porridge bowl.

Lin Yurou's eyes were dark green. She glared at Ruan He first, and then looked at Mu Yunxiao, which turned into tenderness. She said: "Brother Xiao, I kept you company all night and didn't dare to close my eyes. How pitiful is it for you?" It’s finally good!”

"Thank you for your hard work." Mu Yunxiao said calmly.
