CHAPTER 2050: CHAPTER 2056

"What about the Mu Family territory? My son bears the Mu surname, and so does my daughter. Besides, this area now belongs to the first branch of the Mu Family, the territory my son is going to inherit. For those who want to seize my son’s territory, I am determined to kick them out. It doesn’t matter who comes today, hmph, whoever doesn’t leave, I’ll smash their things, starting with this old lady here."

"I’ll just stand here and watch; if you haven’t moved in one hour, I’ll have someone set this place on fire, and then I’ll continue smashing things at your daughter-in-law’s place. If you don’t believe me, let’s just wait and see."

Su Ma ignored the injuries on her face at this moment, feeling overjoyed upon hearing these words. She immediately ran inside to fetch a chair, "Commandery Princess, please sit and wait patiently."

Dongyang did not decline and sat right down, "Get me a cup of juice as well."

"Right away, ma’am," a nanny nearby responded and went to fetch it.

The people from the second branch were even more infuriated seeing her behavior.

Very soon, Mu Shaoling and the Old Master Mu, having received the news, arrived and were taken aback upon seeing the courtyard in such disarray.

Mu Shaoling couldn’t help but laugh when he saw the person sitting and drinking in the courtyard. Yesterday, she said she would kick out the second branch, and if they didn’t leave, she’d smash things. He thought she was joking, but it turned out she was serious.

"Elder brother, you’re just in time. Your niece-in-law brought people and smashed everything in the courtyard, even allowing her maid to injure her second aunt. Look at this behavior, even shrews aren’t this arrogant."

Mu Shaoling wasn’t pleased with his words, remembering that his second aunt was more like a shrew than anyone else.

"Dongyang, what is going on here?"

"Just what you see," Dongyang handed the cup she was holding to the nanny beside her, snorting coldly, "If they want to cling to this place without moving, they’ll have to endure my wrath. I’ve tolerated them for half a month, but since they still haven’t left, I can only use special measures to make them leave."

"Father, I manage the inner affairs of the first branch; it’s not appropriate for you to intervene in such matters. If you have no official duties to handle, take Chengcheng out to play; he mentioned this morning he wanted to play with grandpa."

"That’s right, Father. Such affairs are handled by Dongyang, and we men shouldn’t interfere, otherwise how will Dongyang manage the Mu Residence in the future if you meddle today?"

Mu Shaoling knew Dongyang didn’t want the Old Master interrupting, so he seized the chance to add a few words.

The Old Master also knew that his daughter-in-law harbored resentment; these people wanted her life. Last time he had intervened and divided some things from the second branch, which was fair enough. If he helped again today, he feared neither his son nor daughter-in-law would appreciate it. He didn’t want to see his brother’s family living miserably, but he also didn’t want to be alienated from his son’s family. After all, last time these people harmed his granddaughter too. Forget it, forget it, let it be.

"Okay then, do as you see fit."

The Old Master waved his hand and left.

"Shaoling, I’m at least your second uncle; are you really going to let your wife treat us like this?" Second Old Master Mu said with a darkened face, "It’s not like we refuse to move, we just haven’t found a suitable house yet. Are you going to stand by and watch our family end up homeless?"

"Hmph, don’t make it sound so pitiable. If this old woman can bear seeing our family suffer and die, this Commandery Princess can watch your family end up homeless," Dongyang interjected before Mu Shaoling could speak, "Besides, being homeless is still much more fortunate than losing everything."
