slanted a glance at him, sighing, “Even if we notify them, our enmity has already been established and can no longer be undone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, there’s no point in worrying about the consequences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We need not fear them having Huo Yuan’s backing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention that our own status is here to be seen, even if we were commoners, we still have the protection of the Great General’s Mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there were to be a direct confrontation, it’s still uncertain who would win and who would lose.”The Old Madame did not fear Huo Yuan, but given the situation, fear was pointless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Huo Yuan truly sought to avenge the Mu Family and target them, he wouldn’t spare them just because the Duke An’s Mansion showed goodwill or weakness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since this was the case, there was no point in being afraid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Great General’s Mansion present, she refused to believe that Huo Yuan would dare to oppose them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What about the two shops and the manor?”Du Yongchun managed to ask his question of greatest concern: the matter of the Mu Family’s two shops and one manor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike his two elder brothers who held fifth-rank and sixth-rank officials, earning substantial salaries and fringe benefits annually, he was only an eighth-rank official from the Hanlin Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he got married, his family was already in decline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, his wife, Lady Dai, was not as well-born as his sisters-in-law, and the dowry she brought was relatively limited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having been accustomed to a lavish lifestyle since a young age, he maintained four or five concubines in their home, with countless chambermaids.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His illegitimate sons and daughters occupied the entire courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, his household expenses were more than others, which often left him in a tough financial situation, hence, he was particularly concerned about money matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, he had long set his sights on the Mu Family’s shops!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Old Madame snorted, “The Mu Family’s shops and manor were all purchased with the money they stole from our mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, they cannot be returned to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the government office has made its judgment, the two shops and the manor will be divided among my three sons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brothers Du Yongzhi, Du Yongbang, and Du Yongchun looked at each other, their eyes hiding their smiles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the young masters and misses standing behind their elders showed contented expressions, some even started to contemplate whether they want a shop or a manor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they decide on a shop, which one would be more suitable…”…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doctor Yao Yuanpan’s medical skill was superb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly used acupuncture to wake Wen’er up after his arrival at Bishui Villa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Wen’er was awake, Huo Yuan could finally put his heart at ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, he ordered Sui Xi to prepare the coach, for he wanted to go to Shuntian Prefecture to check on Mu Zhongqing’s case!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the little boy he sent to Shuntian Prefecture for information, when Duke An’s Mansion reported the case, they accused Mu Zhongqing of theft.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duke An’s Mansion claimed that while several members of the Mu Family were staying with them, Mu Zhongqing’s family stole a few tens of thousands of taels of silver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This money was allegedly used by the Mu Family to open shops and buy a manor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They asked the Prefect of Shuntian Prefecture to make a decision, to give the Mu Family’s shops and manor to Duke An’s Mansion as compensation, and to severely punish Mu Zhongqing as a warning to others!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although these allegations were rather absurd, the Prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, Zhao Hongwang, was a classmate of the Old Master of Duke An’s Mansion, Du Yongzhi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was also a cousin of Third Madam of Duke An’s Mansion, Lady Dai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, in handling this case, he would definitely favor Duke An’s Mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Mu Zhongqing was just an insignificant scholar with no power or influence in the capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once in the public hall, whether one was innocent or guilty depended solely on others’ words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily, right after Huo Yuan learned of this, he forwarded a message to the Prefect, believing that the Prefect would save him some face and not make things difficult for Mu Zhongqing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On their way to the Shuntian Prefecture, many Brocade Uniform Guards in Flying Fish Suits suddenly appeared on the streets along with many City Patrol Guards from the Inspectorate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These people were looking very serious, carefully searching among the passing crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They thoroughly interrogated any suspicious individuals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was unclear what had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>",765,"2026-06-03T13:14:39.368Z","2026-06-03T13:14:42.430Z",1,"novelbin.me","2e37dc4a084a55fbee199788d83e3b3f762d2277d6187c778522567a479eaffe","transmigration-from-farmer-to-empress-chapter-670","transmigration-from-farmer-to-empress-chapter-668",2136,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftransmigration-from-farmer-to-empress-cover.jpg"]
