Chapter 1661 - 1656: The Owner of the Carriage Is Mu Dade

"You..." Niu Laoscar’s face turned green with anger.

He originally thought that once the driver said something, it would be over. Who knew he started cursing again: "Good dogs don’t block the road. Why don’t you make way for our master? Be careful, our master will have all of you commoners arrested!"

"Who are you calling a dog? Are you reasonable or not? I got here first, I was here first! Why should I make way for you?"

Niu Laoscar isn’t one to be messed with. If he could tolerate being insulted to his face, he wouldn’t be a real man.

"What if I called you a dog? I’m telling you to make way, so what?" The driver said arrogantly.

Inside the carriage, Yu Si Niang looked worried. She turned to Mu Dashan and Mu Shuangshuang and asked, "Shuangshuang, there’s a commotion outside, should we go take a look?"

"Don’t bother. Niu Laoscar isn’t someone to mess with. If they want to bully him, they’ll have to wait a few more years!" Mu Shuangshuang replied.

"But... what if we offend someone important?"

Yu Si Niang vaguely heard terms like master and commoners.

She feared that the commotion might involve a local lord of the county.

If it really was a lord, causing trouble for her daughter would be terrible, hence her worried expression.

"It’s fine. We’re in the right here! Let’s wait and see!" Mu Shuangshuang advised.

Niu Laoscar was brought in by Mu Shuangshuang as a protector, and she wanted to see just how capable this Niu Laoscar was.

If he turned out to be useless, he’d be tossed aside to avoid being a nuisance!

If he was competent, then he could stay by her side!

Mu Shuangshuang’s business was growing, and she needed more people.

Honestly, she even thought about having Mu Dalang stop raising pigs in the countryside and come to the county to manage her dessert shop!

After all, Mu Dalang was trustworthy, not someone who would sneak around, and he was skilled, treating the third branch like family.

"Alright! Since Shuangshuang said so, I won’t worry!" Yu Si Niang said.

Mu Dashan nodded in agreement, "We’ll listen to our daughter!"

Outside the carriage, the driver who had clashed with Niu Laoscar continued to curse.

Seeing that Niu Laoscar wasn’t retaliating, the driver raised his voice, becoming more and more reckless.

"People like you commoners, I encounter countless numbers daily. You all deserve to be beaten to death with sticks!"

Niu Laoscar was waiting for the driver to say something more outrageous, so he could seize the opportunity!

So, as soon as the driver finished speaking, Niu Laoscar shouted loudly, "Everyone, come see, there’s a big boss here who crashed into my carriage, won’t apologize, and says I’m a commoner who deserves to be beaten to death with sticks! Come and see...!"

"Everyone, come see, the big boss is bullying the common folks, the big boss is going to hit people...!"

Niu Laoscar’s voice was loud, and after a few shouts, not only did people inside the tavern start looking out, but even those on the distant street began to watch curiously.

Everyone seemed eager to know who this big boss was, with such spectacle, easily threatening to beat people to death!

Some even began to whisper amongst themselves—

"Who is this guy, looking all pompous yet so unreasonable?"

"Yeah, can officials really do whatever they want? Not treating us common folks like people?"

"Do you all know whose carriage this belongs to? I’m curious to know!"

"Could it be the County Magistrate? There’s no one bigger in the county!"

"What a joke, the County Magistrate wouldn’t abuse his power like this. It’s probably some tiny official under the County Magistrate, his airs bigger than the Magistrate himself!"

The louder the discussions outside became, the more the sound reached into the carriage.

The person inside the carriage, annoyed by the noise, frowned.

He asked the driver, "Old Ma, what’s the commotion outside, why is it so noisy?"

"Master, it’s nothing serious. We bumped into someone’s carriage, and this person is trying to extort us for some money!" the driver replied.

As soon as the driver finished speaking, the person in the carriage spoke again, "Back off and let them pass, this noise is giving me a headache!"

"Yes, Master!" The driver nodded.

Then, looking arrogant again, he turned to Niu Laoscar, "Consider yourself lucky, our master is letting you pass!"

"Who’s letting you, you shouldn’t have bumped into us in the first place!" Niu Laoscar stepped forward, facing the driver directly.

"You..." The driver, infuriated, changed his mind about yielding.

The two carriages remained in a standoff.

The person inside waited for a long time, didn’t notice the carriage move, and curiously lifted the curtain.

As he lifted the curtain, he asked, "What’s going on? Why aren’t we moving?"

Without the carriage door blocking, the person’s voice reached Mu Shuangshuang inside her carriage.

She felt a jolt of energy, suddenly revitalized.

"Dad, it’s Uncle!" Mu Shuangshuang whispered as a reminder.

Mu Dashan also looked bewildered.

They said they wouldn’t go see the Old Mu Family from the county, yet unexpectedly ran into them here. "Should we go have a look?" Mu Dashan asked.

"I’ll take a look first. Later, if the driver doesn’t make way, Dad and Mom, you shouldn’t come out!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

After speaking, she patted Little Zhi’s head.

The little girl, coming to the county for the first time, showed not the slightest hint of stage fright.

Whether she spoke or not, the little girl covered her mouth with her hands, afraid she might lose control and speak!

Little Zhi gave Mu Shuangshuang a sweet smile, then buried her head into Little Black, looking shy.

Mu Shuangshuang jumped out of the carriage directly.

She happened to come face to face with Mu Dade, who had not yet had time to close the carriage curtain.

Today, Mu Shuangshuang was radiant and dressed grandly, making Mu Dade fail to recognize her at first!

It wasn’t until Mu Shuangshuang spoke up that he realized.

"Uncle, what a coincidence, it turns out the big boss the driver said is more authoritative than the County Magistrate, is you! I heard you’ve moved from the County Chief Clerk to the dock steward, it seems you’re in high spirits, bullying people isn’t even worth mentioning!" Mu Shuangshuang said with a beaming smile.

Her words revealed much to the onlookers.

This so-called master is the county’s chief clerk!

What is a chief clerk?

Simply a document officer, right?

As for this dock steward, it sounds like a good position.

The people around got the sense that because this person became a dock steward, he became smug.

"Shuangshuang, what are you talking about? How could I bully people?" Mu Dade’s face didn’t look good.

Especially when he realized the person in front of him was Mu Shuangshuang.

Whether in appearance or the impression she gave, Mu Shuangshuang had changed a lot.

However, the words she spoke still filled him with annoyance!

"That’s not what I said, your driver said that, wanting to beat us ordinary folks to death with sticks!" Mu Shuangshuang spoke while surveying the people around.

Her demeanor seemed as if she was seeking the opinion of those around her,
