Chapter 208 -209: The Show Begins, The Mad Dog Goes into Heat (Part 1)_1
Mrs. Chui felt the sharp aura emanating from Muniang, and knew she was genuinely incensed. She had seen what this girl was capable of; even if Mrs. Lin was reluctant, she could be coerced, but with Qiao Muniang it was impossible. Mrs. Chui truly believed that Muniang would render them crippled if provoked.
But Mrs. Chui had clearly come prepared this time, after all, to pass up such a vast family fortune sitting right before her eyes would be foolish!
Mrs. Chui gave Chui Laicai a suggestive wink, and he got the hint. Mrs. Chui quickly put on a smile, “Oh dear, I was only trying to make a good recommendation for you. If you’re even a little bit dissatisfied, just dismiss this marriage proposal. We’re family after all, how could we force you into it? Don’t get angry over this.”
Unmoved, Muniang then saw Mrs. Chui immediately turn towards Mrs. Lin, smiling obsequiously, “Big sister, it’s our fault for being too abrupt. I was just being kind, wanting to introduce you to someone, that’s all. If it doesn’t work out, let it be. Getting so upset is not worth it. Yangzi, aren’t you going to comfort your sister? Look, her eyes are red from anger.”
Lin Yang quickly came forward to smooth things over for Mrs. Lin, “Sister, it’s our fault, don’t be angry. If you don’t want to marry, then don’t. After all, Muniang is filial, she can live well without a man.”
Despite his words, Lin Yang’s gaze flickered with uncertainty.
Mrs. Lin had watched him grow up and could easily see through his insincerity. She was even more disappointed, but before she could say anything, she heard Mrs. Chui say, “Oh dear, between siblings, even if bones are broken, the tendons still connect us. Surely, you can’t be upset over such a trifle.”
Chui Laicai hurried forward with a cup of tea, offering it to Muniang, “I know that Sister Muniang got angry because of my rude remarks earlier. I’ve always been too casual, but as soon as I saw Sister Muniang, I was so taken with her that I spoke without thinking. Please forgive my thoughtlessness this one time. Here, I’m personally offering tea as a sign of sincerity; isn’t that solid enough?”
Muniang looked at him impassively, without a stir.
Chui Laicai, as if afraid Muniang wouldn’t accept, quickly added, “Sister Muniang, are you really unwilling to forgive me? We can’t let a small matter like this ruin the relationship between our two families. After all, Uncle Lin and your mother have such a good sibling relationship. Sister Muniang, you can’t be so petty and hold a grudge – it would make things difficult for your mother, wouldn’t it?”
The latter part of his speech carried a hint of a threat.
Muniang suddenly understood; Mrs. Chui and the others thought that by controlling Mrs. Lin, they could manipulate her as they pleased! While she did respect Mrs. Lin, she wasn’t blindly filial. Where did these people get the confidence to think she would be swayed by their manipulation?!

With a slight curl of her lips, Muniang said, “Since your sincerity is so solid, I naturally should accept it.” With that, she took the tea cup from Chui Laicai’s hand.
Chui Laicai’s eyes brightened, thinking he had succeeded!
Qingya watched as Chui Laicai’s eyes lit up instantaneously, but internally she prayed for his fortune. With the Lady sporting such a smile, things were likely to end badly for him.
Muniang held the tea cup, lightly blowing on it, and turned to look at Lin Yang, “Uncle, do you also think I should accept his apology and drink this tea?”
Lin Yang was already nervous at heart, especially after seeing Muniang blow on the cup and bring it close to her lips. He was terribly conflicted, but he had not anticipated that she would turn and question him, scaring him so much he nearly collapsed.
Mrs. Chui glared at him, and Lin Yang could only respond with a guilty conscience, “He was just being tactless for a moment, we’re all family, why damage our harmony over such a trivial matter?”
Mrs. Lin always felt the atmosphere was a bit strange, not to mention that Muniang would never easily forgive those who crossed her, and now Lin Yang’s tone was so lacking in confidence, Mrs. Lin was somewhat dumbfounded and just stared blankly.
Muniang let out a light chuckle, laced with a mocking tone, “So, Uncle, you mean to say that you want me to drink this tea too?” She was determined to corner him to commit to his words, otherwise with a few sweet words, Mrs. Lin would certainly soften her heart again.
It wasn’t that Muniang was heartless, but Mrs. Lin’s blind maternal instinct towards Lin Yang was really causing too much trouble. If she couldn’t make Mrs. Lin completely disappointed and even angry at Lin Yang this time, would these two keep causing trouble every day without end?
Lin Yang gritted his teeth and replied, “Yes!”
Muniang scoffed coldly, walked towards Chui Laicai, and suddenly made her move. She grabbed Chui Laicai’s chin with one hand and poured the tea in her hand directly into his mouth with the other. Chui Laicai, who had been waiting for Muniang to drink it, did not expect this sudden move and was totally unprepared. The entire cup of tea was forcibly poured down!
After emptying the last drop of water from the teacup, Muniang released Chui Laicai and casually smashed the teacup on the ground. Her eyes, which held a calmness before, now brimmed with a deadly chill.
She had better eyesight than most, and she had seen Mrs. Chui signaling Chui Laicai when she passed the glance. Later, when Mrs. Chui came out to mediate and drew everyone’s attention, Muniang had been quietly watching Chui Laicai. Did he think she couldn’t see him drugging the teacup with his sleeve as a cover?
Muniang was always astute. With a simple thought, she could guess the vile substance he had put in there. These Chui family members were really driven mad by greed, to come up with such despicable tactics.
Having been released from Muniang’s grip, Chui Laicai lost his balance and fell to the ground. He didn’t care whether or not he was in pain, he was desperate to spit out the tea. But apart from a few spittles, nothing came out. He had already swallowed the tea.
Seeing this, Mrs. Chui became furious, stomping her feet, “Qiao Muniang, what are you doing? He’s older than you by a few years, and you should still call him ‘Brother’! He sincerely apologized to you, and yet you treat him like this, it’s so disheartening! Big sister, look at what a fine daughter you’ve raised, to treat my nephew this way. Even if you look down on us, you shouldn’t humiliate us like this!”
Mrs. Lin, unable to grasp the situation, looked blankly towards Muniang, only to hear her coldly command, “Someone! Throw these people out, leave none behind!”
The servants at home had been waiting for just this command, and they immediately rushed in with sticks, chasing everyone out without a second word, Lin Yang included. Mrs. Chui continued to curse loudly along the way, but no one paid her any attention.
As the main gate of the residence closed with a bang, Mrs. Chui was about to continue her tirade when she saw Chui Laicai’s face turning redder and redder, knowing that he was about to have an “attack.” True enough, Chui Laicai started to tear at his clothes.
Mrs. Chui hurriedly said, “Not good, he’s having an attack, quick, get the oxcart ready, we have to go to town and find a brothel to cure his poisoning!”
They all knew that he had been drugged with an aphrodisiac and dared not delay, hastily carrying him onto the oxcart and setting off. But the drug was too potent; Chui Laicai couldn’t last until town. Barely out of Tupo Village, he was already burning up with desire.
