From Folly to Fortune：I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!-Chapter 877 - 873: Mu Dade’s Affair Exposed (Third Update)
Mu Yingying felt that since Ruan Xiao Jiao dared to touch her father, everyone in the village should know that Ruan Xiao Jiao is a vixen, shamelessly seducing someone else’s man.
A thought flashed through Mu Yingying’s mind, and she decided to follow Mu Dade.
After coming out of Mu Dandan’s room, Mu Yingying didn’t rush back to her room but waited outside Mu Dade’s door to see if there would be any movement.
Meanwhile, outside the room of Mu Dalang at the main house, Mu Danian, wearing a tattered cotton jacket, was similarly crouched below the windowsill, eavesdropping.
After days of staking out, Mu Danian had lost weight, and the dark circles under his eyes were somewhat alarming.
Every day, Mu Danian hoped something would happen in Mu Dalang’s room, but day after day, nothing occurred.
His last bit of patience was gone, and of course, he also couldn’t hold on any longer.
Since the day Mu Dalang got married, Mu Danian had been eavesdropping, waiting night after night, but in reality, he hadn’t heard a single sound, let alone the ones he was hoping to hear.
Unable to eavesdrop successfully, Mu Danian could only go back to sleep, and in the meantime, he kept the matter in his heart, planning to ask Huang Bita someday if things between her and Dalang were going well.
Similarly, Mu Yingying squatted outside Mu Dade’s door, waiting until her hands and feet were freezing, and her legs were numb, but still, there was no sound from inside the room.
Just as Mu Yingying was about to go back to sleep, Mu Dade’s door creaked open.
Mu Dade came out of the room fully dressed, and like a thief, he looked around to make sure no one was there before leaving Old Mu Family’s courtyard and headed straight to Ruan Xiao Jiao’s house.
Ruan Xiao Jiao’s house was on the west side of the village, not too far from the school Mu Shuangshuang was building. To go to Ruan Xiao Jiao’s place, he had to pass by the school.
Mu Dade looked at the school being built day by day and scoffed.
He thought disdainfully, with the conduct of the third branch, dreaming about running a school is just a daydream, like a toad wanting to eat swan meat.
He stood in front of Mu Shuangshuang’s school for a while, with disdain on his face, before leaving.
Mu Yingying felt she had discovered something. Late at night, her father was definitely going to see that Ruan Xiao Jiao.
If they still claimed nothing was happening, Mu Yingying would never believe it.
At Ruan Xiao Jiao’s house, outside the courtyard stood a banyan tree. Mu Dade arrived and stood under it for a while, then mimicked a few cat calls.
After a while, Ruan Xiao Jiao, also fully dressed, came out.
Initially, Mu Yingying thought she would catch them red-handed, but then she reconsidered, thinking the evidence was insufficient.
She had to let her father enter Ruan Xiao Jiao’s house before she called anyone.
Ruan Xiao Jiao looked at Mu Dade, scarcely believing it.
During the day, they spent the whole day together, and logically, Mu Dade shouldn’t come at night, yet here he was.
However, Ruan Xiao Jiao’s heart was still sweet. A woman who likes a man would wish for him to be there every moment.
"Brother Dade, why did you come?" Ruan Xiao Jiao asked in a soft tone.
Mu Dade grabbed Ruan Xiao Jiao’s hand and whispered, "I couldn’t sleep thinking of you. You don’t mind me coming, do you?" Mu Dade asked.
Ruan Xiao Jiao blushed and shook her head. "My parents are asleep, you... you should come to my room!"
With that, Ruan Xiao Jiao led Mu Dade by the hand to her room.
Mu Yingying watched the scene, her eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
Her father was indeed meeting Ruan Xiao Jiao late at night, intending to enter her room. If that’s not anything, then Mu Yingying might as well die.
After a while, a candle illuminated Ruan Xiao Jiao’s room.
The candlelight faintly revealed the silhouettes of two people.
The room was initially quiet, with the occasional exchange between Mu Dade and Ruan Xiao Jiao.
But Mu Yingying could no longer remain calm.
She thought of her father, inside, messing around with another woman behind her mother’s back, and Mu Yingying wished to rip Ruan Xiao Jiao’s face apart.
Mu Dade and Ruan Xiao Jiao were adults, unlike the newly married and shy Mu Dalang and Huang Bita, who dared not do anything; they were familiar with all the things they should and shouldn’t do.
In the room, Ruan Xiao Jiao’s soft moans and Mu Dade’s low breathing gradually filled the space.
Mu Yingying felt it was time. She stepped forward and kicked open Ruan Xiao Jiao’s door.
Ruan Xiao Jiao let out a shriek.
Before she could react, Mu Yingying shouted.
"Help! Ruan Xiao Jiao is having an affair..."
On the first call, villagers didn’t respond much, but by the second call, someone heard it, and the gossip-hungry hurriedly dressed and woke their husbands.
"Get up, someone’s been caught having an affair in the village!"
The men, drowsy from sleep, got up, albeit without the women’s enthusiasm for gossip.
Yet they too got dressed and went to seek the origin of the commotion.
Mu Yingying wanted to yell more but was slapped hard by Mu Dade, leaving a bright red handprint and a burning pain on her face, causing her to clutch her face.
Mu Dade then grabbed her hand and covered her mouth. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
"Dad... mmph mmph..." Mu Yingying couldn’t speak and could only make muffled sounds.
Let me go!
Mu Yingying continued to yell indistinctly, while Ruan Xiao Jiao, frightened out of her wits, hadn’t even had the chance to dress properly after Mu Dade messed up her clothes.
She stood there, dazed, watching the father and daughter scuffle, not knowing what to do.
Only after Mu Dade reminded Ruan Xiao Jiao to dress properly did she do so.
"You followed me here?" Mu Dade asked Mu Yingying affirmatively.
Mu Yingying glared at him without replying.
At that moment, Mu Dade’s image had completely shattered in Mu Yingying’s heart.
To think her mother believed her father wouldn’t dare do anything improper with Ruan Xiao Jiao, but the truth was, not only did he, he did it in Ruan Xiao Jiao’s house.
Mu Yingying gave no response, and Mu Dade, angry, slapped her again.
He slapped her mouth crooked.
"Ever since you were young, I didn’t believe you would amount to anything, and now it seems I wasn’t wrong. You truly can’t keep anything to yourself."
At this point, Mu Dade didn’t intend to coddle his daughter anymore.
He had to protect Ruan Xiao Jiao.
If she were gone, the benefits promised by the County Magistrate would also be gone.
And it would impact his promotion.
Mu Yingying mumbled a few words, and though Mu Dade didn’t understand, he was unwilling to let go of her mouth.
He said, "If you call the villagers over today, not only will I be ruined, but your mother can forget about living a life of luxury.
And you, not only will you forget about becoming a rich lady, but even getting married will be a problem!"
Mu Dade truly wanted to crack open Mu Yingying’s head to see what’s inside.
Unfortunately, the only response he got was Mu Yingying’s resentful glare.
