Chapter 069 I have to be the villain

Xie Xun was very measured in his actions. "Go in, I'll continue to help you watch."

Li Mumu smiled sweetly. It was really comfortable to work with such a person. There was no need for too many words. "Okay, thank you brother. We will each have half later."

Xie Xun shook his head, "I don't want it."

"Then I won't be polite." Li Mumu was secretly happy. Did he think that he couldn't take anything?

Let’s just say that he underestimated the women of the Gu family.

Under Xie Xun's gaze, Li Mumu easily opened the door lock with a wire. Xie Xun was dumbfounded again, but this was the daughter of the general's mansion, and he would definitely think that she was a small-time swindler who was also proficient in stealing.

Look at the smoke, poison, and this lock-picking skill. Is this something the General's Mansion can teach?

Li Mumu looked at the warehouses of the Gu and Li families. The Li family was a newly rich family and had little savings. With a group of parasites around them, they didn't actually have many valuable things. All the money was given to Gu Yuru by the Gu family and then squandered by the Li family.

But the Pei family's is different. At that time, there are rare corals that are more than one meter high, which are very rare. There are also famous calligraphy and paintings, rare treasures. A white jade Buddha statue alone is as tall as the body and is priceless. Jadeite, agate, and jade are just small shrimps.

Li Mumu decided not to leave them a single grain of rice.

Naturally, my eldest cousin’s dowry is also indispensable, as it originally belonged to her.

In ancient times, when a woman of status and position got married, her parents would make all the necessary preparations for her to live better in her husband's family, from her marriage to childbirth and even death. Naturally, the Gu family would not let their daughter down.

Fortunately, the Pei family didn't have much money, and Gu Lan's dowry had not been squandered. Li Mumu waved her hand and not a single cent was left.

Xie Xun was still waiting to see what the little girl would come up with, but he saw that she had nothing in her hands. He was quite puzzled. Just when he thought he had understood the little girl, she would always bring him new insights.

Right now.

"You just came out like this?" Xie Xun asked.

Li Mumu nodded, "Yes, what else?"

Xie Xun was stunned by the question. Could it be that he was wrong, or that he was secretly ungentlemanly?

But he never considered himself a gentleman.

But once he said this, the little girl might think he wasn't being frank enough, so she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue and said, "Ahem... Can we go now?"

"Let's go!"

Li Mumu and Xie Xun climbed over the wall again, but she didn't want to leave. Instead, she wanted to enter through the main gate again with dignity.

The guards at the Pei family’s door would naturally try to stop them, but it would depend on whether they could stop them.

Li Mumu looked at the butler with a face full of flesh and exclaimed, "Wow, the Pei family is so arrogant."

"You little girl, what nonsense are you talking about!" The housekeeper thought that the two children were easy to deal with, but he didn't expect that this scared girl was quite difficult to deal with. Not only was she not afraid, she even dared to yell at him.

At this time, some people had gathered at the door of Pei Mansion.

This scene was exactly what Li Mumu wanted to see. "Dear uncles, aunts, my cousin is the eldest young lady of the Pei Mansion. We came to see her, but they wouldn't let us. I just heard someone say that my cousin is not feeling well and has a stomachache. I'm so worried about the baby in her belly."

Because it was the prefectural government's office, the common people did not dare to speak, but they could not help but talk in low voices.

The housekeeper was also panicking, fearing that the matter would get out of hand. "No...nothing happened. The eldest young lady's wife is fine."

"But we just saw the doctor go in. Did you poison my cousin to death?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Did I say anything nonsense? Let me in and see you. If I did, I apologize." Li Mumu said generously.

"Hurry up, hurry up, is the gate of the prefectural government the place where you can act wild? Leave now!"

Li Mumu never revealed her identity, so the housekeeper didn't know whose family this little girl belonged to, but she kept calling her cousin, so she must be a relative of the Gu family. However, the lady had ordered that she was not allowed to associate with anyone from the Gu family, so relatives were naturally not allowed.

"Oh, this is unjust. We came all the way here to see my cousin, and you're bullying us by not letting us in. You're even the governor. Where's justice?"

Xie Xun looked at the little girl throwing a tantrum and cleared his throat awkwardly, but he knew very well that reasoning with her was undoubtedly useless.

The little girl's method was the most effective, but he felt that she looked a little familiar. Her expression and appearance were exactly the same as those of the unreasonable old lady of the Li family.

The housekeeper saw that the situation was not good. Not only did the people not disperse, but they were getting more and more. His master valued his reputation the most. If this continued, it would probably have an adverse impact. He was at a loss and hurried back to report.

Li Mumu was naturally aware that Governor Pei was concerned about his official reputation, so when Jiang Xinyue suggested severing ties with the Gu family, he chose to agree, fearing that he would be tainted by even the slightest stigma.

Li Mumu deliberately took advantage of this to make things worse, just to see how the Pei family would end up.

When Jiang Xinyue heard that there were two children, the oldest of whom was only about ten years old, she glared at the housekeeper, "Useless thing, you can't even handle two children, what use are you? Bring them in and take good care of them."

The butler lowered his head, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and trotted out.

Jiang Xinyue reentered the room and glanced at the doctor, who nodded imperceptibly, "Madam, the young lady's condition is not good. Perhaps she was too emotional and disturbed the fetus. The baby cannot be saved."

"Lan'er, why are you doing this? Mother is doing this for the good of you and your wife. The Gu family's affairs are a foregone conclusion, and you can't change it no matter what. Now that you are like this, Yuan Qing must be very sad." Jiang Xinyue said with great sorrow.

If Gu Lan had not met her little cousin in advance, she would have been deceived by Jiang Xinyue's appearance and would naturally have believed her little cousin.

"Go inform the eldest young master that this child...cannot be saved. Lan'er, you are still young. You will have another child with Yuan Qing in the future."

"Madam, the child hasn't been born yet. If it stays in your body, it might harm your body. How about I prescribe some medicine to help you have a smooth abortion so that you can have children in the future."

"This...ah..." Jiang Xinyue sighed, "Lan'er, you're really putting me in a difficult position. I'm afraid I'll be the bad guy again."

Gu Lan clenched his fists, wishing he could get out of bed, draw his sword and strike her in the throat. He treated her like a mother, yet she actually hurt him like this.

"I'm going to see my family." Gu Lan said with a pale face.

"You... why are you doing this? I'm worried about your health. If you had listened to me before, why would you have let this child have no chance of being born?" Jiang Xinyue frowned. "Doctor He, go get the medicine. For Lan'er and Yuan Qing, I have to be the bad guy."

When Li Mumu walked in, she heard Jiang Xinyue say this.
