Chapter 968 Great Courage
Dan Dan noodles are also good, chewy and smooth...
The family enjoyed the meal and were quite satisfied.
After the meal, we went to a teahouse together to listen to storytelling.
It's been so long since I've enjoyed this kind of life; I'm really having a great time.
They didn't return to the inn until curfew was almost over.
Fang Nanzhi got up early in the morning.
She hesitated, wondering whether to continue on her way or go to the county government office to see what was going on.
Although she didn't interfere with the county government's handling of the case, she still wanted to know the outcome.
But if this case can't be heard in a day, it would be a huge waste of time.
Before she could hesitate, Anmei announced, "Miss Mu requests an audience."
"She came out of the county government office?" Fang Nanzhi was shocked.
Mu Lianxin not only came out, but she also resolved the matter.
Yesterday, after they were sent to the county government office, the magistrate temporarily detained them, pondering General Fang's intentions.
Which side are you trying to help? Or are you also interested in the escort agency?
I heard that General Fang came from a commoner family and his family was probably not wealthy, so it's normal for him to want to make a quick buck.
But the county magistrate was somewhat unwilling to go along with the corrupt practices.
He had all sorts of speculations and anxieties.
Mu Lianxin, however, was quite bold; while in prison, she directly negotiated with several of her former uncles.
She will inherit the security escort agency, but only for ten years. It's ten years, and she will still give her uncles their share.
Ten years later, she returned the security company to her younger brother.
The men didn't believe her, so she said she was willing to write a contract and ask the county magistrate and the village head to act as mediators.
Even if she gets married within ten years, the security company will still belong to her, not her husband's family.
The men were still somewhat reluctant.
They're not stupid. It's not honorable for them to steal their niece's property, but that doesn't mean they're weak.
At worst, they'll just leave the family business to their nephew and then sideline him...
Mu Lianxin knew what they were thinking, and immediately began to take advantage of their situation.
They said she would marry Cheng Xiaohu. Those people were officials, and even the gatekeepers were very polite to them.
If Uncle pushes her too far, don't blame her for bullying others after marriage.
Before the men could get angry, Mu Lianxin continued, playing the emotional card.
They said they knew their uncles had built the security escort agency from scratch, and they couldn't bear to see it decline, which is why they did this.
As long as her uncles repent, she will let it go. She believes that if her father were alive, he wouldn't hold it against her either.
The men were quite respectful of Chief Escort Mu; they had done a good job working under him all these years.
If the person hadn't suddenly died... they wouldn't have been tempted by greed.
The men hesitated.
Mu Lianxin then started talking practically, saying that the foundation of the escort agency was its escorts.
The uncles are all veteran bodyguards, but they lack martial arts skills, abilities, and overall command, which is where she happens to have talent.
Uncles, you might as well trust her this once; she'll be better off with the security company.
From now on, she will try her best to personally escort any dangerous shipments.
If you put these words together, men would scoff and feel insulted.
After a month of fighting and several more rounds, the two sides finally acknowledged Mu Lianxin's strength.
"Can you really forgive and forget?" someone asked hesitantly.
Don't look back. They gave in, and Mu Lianxin will settle scores later.
Mu Lianxin immediately knelt down before them: "Please urge me, elders, I will certainly carry forward the escort agency and protect the family business."
This kneeling was not the head of the escorts kneeling to the bodyguards, but the junior kneeling to the senior.
When she was a child, Mu Lianxin would kowtow like this to ask for lucky money during the Lunar New Year.
One of the men's eyes reddened, and he suddenly realized that he had made a mistake.
Even though his elder brother is gone, he shouldn't bully his brother's child.
The men believed her sincerity, but they were still worried: "If you marry and don't stay home to be a wife and mother, but instead always go out to run convoys, will your husband's family be willing?"
Besides, if Cheng Xiaohu is a relative of an official, then he would be even less willing to let women show their faces in public, right?
“I can write this down in writing as well,” Mu Lianxin said readily.
So, before the magistrate could finish his internal struggle, they had already reconciled.
Upon receiving the news, the magistrate thought for a moment and then released the man.
Yonghe Escort Agency was a well-established escort agency in the county, so he was willing to give them some face, mainly because no one had died.
As for whether General Fang had other intentions, we'll have to see if he negotiates with the escort agency later.
Then, he, as the county magistrate, can decide which side to side to help.
Fang Nanzhi heard from Mu Lianxin that she had reconciled with her uncles in private, and she also gossiped about the process.
Mu Lianxin did not hide anything.
After Fang Nanzhi listened, she looked at her with the eyes of someone looking at a heroine.
"Sister Mu, you are amazing! You are smart, magnanimous, courageous, and bold!"
She's truly amazing. How many people in the world have such magnanimity to forgive an enemy who wants to fight her for the family fortune?
They even know how to leverage existing trends; that's truly clever.
Mu Lianxin was actually a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, Miss. I only used your banner to scare people first. I will accept whatever punishment you want."
Actually, she was so enthusiastic about Cheng Xiaohu for two reasons: first, he was indeed pleasing to the eye, and second, she genuinely wanted to take advantage of his influence.
Knowing that they were officials, Mu Lianxin was even more eager to seize the opportunity.
She admitted that she was snobbish, had impure motives, and was scheming, so it was no wonder that she was disliked.
Fang Nanzhi blinked and said, "What is this 'big flag' that Sister Mu is talking about? I don't know anything about it."
Mu Lianxin looked up, and their eyes met. She immediately understood.
Ms. Fang's meaning was clear: she was unaware of the situation.
Ignoring the facts means not investigating, and even more so, not taking responsibility for her abusing her power, and not wanting to be a backer for her or the security company.
If anything happens in the future, it will have nothing to do with Miss Fang and her group.
"Thank you for your understanding, Miss."
Mu Lianxin felt a little nervous. As expected of a daughter of an official, she was truly clever and perceptive.
Fang Nanzhi smiled and changed the subject: "So, Sister Mu, what are you going to do next?"
"It's almost Chinese New Year, and the escort agency doesn't have many orders. I want to go with Brother Xiaohu."
Mu Lianxin blushed, but still spoke up confidently.
Since she said she wanted to develop feelings for Cheng Xiaohu, how could they not spend time together?
"Cough cough cough!" Fang Nanzhi almost choked on her saliva.
This was the first time she had ever seen such a fierce woman. She was incredibly bold and didn't seem to care about the proper separation between men and women at all.
"Sister Mu, aren't your family worried?"
“My mother was a Hu person, and she died the year she gave birth to my younger brother. My father raised me as a boy from a young age, and I have ventured out into the world.” Mu Lianxin was very frank.
From a young age, she was never constrained by the norms for women today.
Now that her father is gone, no one can make decisions for her anymore.
"But I want to bring my younger brother along, Miss Fang, is that alright?" Mu Lianxin asked nervously.
How was Fang Nanzhi supposed to answer that?
She pondered for a moment: "I can't make the decision on this matter. Why don't you ask Uncle Xiaohu, Sister Mu?"
They're here for Uncle Tiger, so let's leave it to him to handle.
If Uncle Tiger didn't like or even hated Sister Mu, he would definitely refuse.
