From Folly to Fortune：I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!

If Mrs. Jin hadn’t seduced him, he would have married Ruan Xiao Jiao.

Recalling the girl from his memories with two braided pigtails and a shy smile, Mu Dade suddenly felt his long-dormant heart stir.

Someone he hasn’t forgotten over the years, a person he eagerly wanted to see now.

”Little sister, let me think about it!” Mu Dade didn’t agree right away.

His little sister was too shrewd; every time she spent money on him, she found ways to recoup it.

If he simply agreed this time, she might have more demands of him in the future.

Mu Dade didn’t have other thoughts now, only not letting his family reap benefits at his expense. Why should they live well when he’s the one who worked hard for the exams, and they did nothing?

”Brother, think it through! We’re all waiting for you to become an official. Our Old Mu Family will finally hold our heads high!”

”Alright, alright, I got it!” Mu Dade nodded, then added, ”I heard you invited the third branch. You don’t like them, do you?”

Initially, Mu Dade and Mu Xianxian collaborated; Mu Xianxian wanted the recipe, and Mu Dade wanted money. Unfortunately, in the end, it didn’t succeed. Mu Shuangshuang was too clever, not caving to their persuasion.

”Disliking them is one thing, inviting them is another. That brat taunted me before, today she’ll pay me back.”

The evening meal was a trap, and Mu Xianxian’s declaration of sovereignty; she wanted the third branch to know that whoever mistreated her in the past wouldn’t end well.

Upon hearing this, Mu Dade rejoiced, believing his sister had a plan. He said, ”You thought of a way to deal with the third branch? Tell me!”

”This can’t be spoken, you’ll find out later!”

Mu Xianxian withheld her secret; she had suffered much from that brat in town before, and this time she wouldn’t let her off easily.

Mu Dade suddenly felt uninterested, his attitude towards his sister soured.

”By the way, brother, how come your official letter hasn’t arrived?”

Mu Xianxian found this particularly odd; others had received theirs, but there was no notice here.

Logically, there should be three notifications: from Qianzhou Prefecture, the county, and the town. Why hasn’t even one arrived?

At this point, Mu Xianxian started to feel scared, fearing her brother might have deceived her.

Could he have not passed at all?

Cold sweat formed on Mu Xianxian’s forehead as she shivered, suddenly feeling like she had entered an icehouse.

If her brother hadn’t passed, her fifty taels for travel expenses were gone, twenty taels of congratulatory money were gone, and even today’s firecracker money wouldn’t be recovered.

”Brother, tell your sister the truth. Did you really pass? Why have others received their letters and you haven’t?”

Mu Dade’s face turned the color of pig liver—
