Chapter 164 News about Concubine Rong

The Gu family is full of joy and happiness, and the Gu family is a different scene.

Li Zhaozhao cried heart-wrenchingly, was sick, and was hungry.

Li Yuan frowned, and he patiently tried to coax the child, but he had never coaxed a child before, and he didn't know that raising a child was so difficult.

"Mom, where is my sister-in-law?" Li Yuan shouted.

But no one responded at all.

Li Yuan frowned and shouted again, only then was he sure that he and his little daughter were the only ones at home.

I used to feel pity for my skinny little daughter, but now the way she cries at the top of her lungs is really disgusting.

After he tried to comfort her patiently again but to no avail, his patience ran out. "Stop crying."

What does such a young child understand?

Still crying as usual.

Li Yuan punched the wall hard, and the pain in his hand made him sober up a little.

But when he heard his daughter crying, his anger rose and he even wanted to strangle the child to death in exchange for a moment of peace.

But just as his hand reached out, he suddenly spread it open.

When he realized that he had almost killed his daughter, Li Yuan breathed heavily.

This is his daughter, how could he do this?

He sat there blankly, not knowing how long it had been before he heard a noise outside. He recognized the voice as that of Old Lady Li.

As soon as Mrs. Li entered the room, she frowned and said, "Why is this child always crying? Even the best luck will be ruined by crying. Old lady, hurry up and comfort the child."

However, she also discovered that Zhao was not there.

"Mom, my sister-in-law is not at home."

"Where did she go?"

Li Yuan didn't know either. She had been out all morning and hadn't come back since.

"I think she is being too stubborn." Old Mrs. Li cursed angrily.

Li Yuan didn't say anything. He also felt that Zhao didn't care about his daughter, but he didn't want to say anything unpleasant, so it was most appropriate for his mother to say it.

After Old Lady Li entered the room, she rolled her eyes at Li Zhaozhao. "Little unlucky girl, I'd just give her away. This girl is just like her mother, bringing bad luck to our family. Maybe she's the one who caused this leg injury."

Li Yuan felt somewhat guilty when he thought about how he almost lost control and killed his daughter. "Mom, what does this have to do with her?"

"Just protect her." Old Madam Li snorted coldly, "If it was a son, it would be fine, but it's just a girl, and no one would want her even if I gave her away."

"Where have you been?"

"Don't mention it." Old Madam Li grew angrier the more she thought about it. "Life at home was so hard. I went to the county town to look for Rongrong, but this damn girl was enjoying herself and didn't care about us. I just wanted a few taels of silver from her, and she said she didn't have any. How could she not have any?"

Old Mrs. Li said angrily.

Li Yuan frowned. At this moment, he was not worried about anything else, but about his legs.

But you must not let him become disabled, you must get cured.

"Yuan'er, none of your friends before you could help?" Old Lady Li asked innocently, "They are all high-ranking officials. If they could just give some money through their fingers, we wouldn't have to suffer this hardship. If we don't give those people money, I'm afraid we won't be able to stay in this village anymore."

Li Yuan frowned. He didn't want to admit that he didn't have any close friends. Whether he admitted it or not, those people only interacted with him for the sake of the Gu family.

"Mom, we've registered in the government office in this village. They can't do anything to us..."

As he was speaking, the window was suddenly hit by a stone.

With a "bang", Mrs. Li was so frightened that she stood there in a daze.

"who?"

"Hurry up and pay, or you won't have a good life."

Li Yuan wanted to chase after them, but now his legs and feet were inconvenient and it was difficult for him to walk, so he could only let this group of people bully him.

He secretly clenched his fists, thinking that when he returned to the capital in the future, he would never let go of those who bullied them.

The people outside had already left after throwing the stones. Old Mrs. Li was so frightened that her voice trembled, "Yuan'er, this...what if it hits someone next time?"

Mrs. Li was obviously panicking. "It's all the fault of that damn girl Li Mumu. She cured so many people, why didn't she help us cure the disease?"

Li Yuan clenched his teeth, fearing that the damn girl did it on purpose.

"Yuan'er, do you have any other solution? I'm already old and can't endure the hardship any more. If this goes on, I'm afraid I won't live for two days." Old Mrs. Li started to cry as she spoke.

Li Yuan felt sorry for his mother who had to raise them all by herself. "Mom, there's still no news from Concubine Rong."

"Rong... Concubine Rong?" Old Madam Li wiped her tears and immediately stopped crying. "Empress Rong?"

"Yes, mother, in fact, I have always been working for Concubine Rong." Li Yuan didn't want his mother to worry, and there were no outsiders at home, so he told her.

After hearing this, Mrs. Li was no longer panicked.

His son has a powerful backer behind him, so he is not joking when he says that they will return to the capital.

"Yuan'er, why didn't you tell me earlier? You've made me worry for so long. I thought we'd never have a good life again!" Old Lady Li cried and laughed. "Then could Concubine Rong give us a few thousand taels of silver to spend? Life is so hard now. How can we help her with her work?"

If it were before, Li Yuan would definitely frown, but now he also knows that he can't survive without money.

"Mother, there's still no news from Concubine Rong."

Mrs. Li nodded. "Then what exactly are you going to do to help him?"

Li Yuan paused and said, "Mom, just know that this happened, and don't worry about the rest."

"Okay, okay, I was wondering why my Yuan'er would end up in such a miserable state. But when can we return to the capital? Mother really can't get used to such a hard life."

Li Yuan also wanted to know, but it depended on how Concubine Rong would persuade the Emperor.

But before he could answer, Zhao walked in from outside with her waist twisted and a lustful look on her face.

When Old Lady Li saw her, she started scolding her, "What were you doing? I told you to look after Zhao Zhao, but you ran off to hide away?"

Zhao cleared her throat, feeling a little guilty, "Mom, I'm just going out for a walk. The child was asleep when I left."

"Sleep, you've been crying for so long. You're a widow, so don't go out anymore. I'm telling you, if you dare to have any thoughts that you shouldn't have, I'll skin you alive."

Zhao couldn't help but shiver, thinking that Mrs. Li probably didn't know.

"What's that smell?" Old Mrs. Li sniffed. "Where does the meat smell come from?"

"Meat...where is the meat? Mother, you must have smelled it wrong." Zhao's heart skipped a beat.

This old lady has a sharper nose than a dog.

Could it be that the old woman found out about her and Old Man Chen?

Just find out that she’s not full, so why don’t you let her figure it out herself?
